PARADE TO FEATURE
CLEANUP MOVEMENT
Commercial Club Searching
for GeneraIiSsimo to Direct
Big Pageant.

The spring cleanup movement has
taken on definite form Under the aus
piees of the Commercial club there will
he general renovation Of the city such
as IL has never experienced before.
The big event OF the immediate future
in connection with the cleanup cam
paign will be a grand parade Saturday
afternoon at 4 o'clock. In this parade
viii be included everything on wheels
the city owns-automoblles. garbage
wagons. street sprinklers. rakes. repair
wagons, fire department equipment, po-
lice patrol wagons and autos. and a mill
lion children, more or less,
The parade Will form on East Brigham
street, whence II will proceed westward
TO Main, to Fourth South. to Second
East, to Fifth South. to State. to First
South where 1t will disband
II is likely that. in addition to the
citys rolling stock, there Will be an
allegorical float or two. The young
sters-hundreds of them-who bring up
brooms. typifying their desire for clean
city 1t is hoped to enlist the services
OF the high school cadets and the cadet
band to head the march.
The Commercial club has made good
progress on the details OF the parade
but there Is one grave problem yet to
ne solved. The club wants a general
issimo for the parade.
"A generallssimo Is the thing We
want, said A, G. Mackenzie. assistant
secretary, yesterday "A marshal OF the
day or a grand marshal won't do. We
must have a generalissimo. We looked
in the dictionary this morning and found
out what generalissimo was, and that
investigation convinced us that a gen
eralisslmo and nothing less will do for
that parade"
When he is captured. the name OF the
generalisslmo will be given 10 an ex-
pectant world
The Commercial club is arranging
list OF speakers who Will address the
school children In the various buildings
The talks will begin Monday. The
speakers will point out the desrabilIty
of having clean city. especially In view
of the fact that the National Education
association. with its thousands of dele
gates. will be here in July. Also the
pupils will be told about the beautifying
influence OF trimming the lawn and the
shrubbery. Moreover. they will be In
structed by experts in the scientific use
OF the rake.
The Commercial club has the hearty
cooperation of the city board of health
and the city commission in It's clean UP
movement. Health Commissioner S. G.
Paul has promised to put on additional
wagons FOR the removal OF rubbish as
need for them arises. In fact, few ad-
ditional wagons have already been add
ed because OF the fact that residents,
taking advantage of the favorable wealth.
er, have done good deal Of cleaning up
already.

RETURNS
FROM TRIP EAST
County Attorney Says Eastern
Business Men Are Interested
in Salt Lake.

J. f. Wiley. county attorney, re-
turned Yesterday TO Salt Lake after
three weeks spent in the east, Mr.. VII
lev visited Washington, New York. Bos-
ton and other principal points, combining
pleasure with business, He renewed old
acuuaintances at Washington, where lie
spent four years earlier in life. and went
on 10 New York 10 look after some per-
sonal business matters.
"The chief impression I brought back
with me is that Salt Lake is one OF the
choicest spots on earth" MIR. Wiley said
Yesterday "The same impression APP
pears to prevail quite generally through, :,
out the country. Everywhere ] went
found people interested in Salt Lake.
They prick up their ears when ore an
nounces that he is from this city, and
everybody seems 10 have good word
to say about the town. It's attracting
unusual attention among business men
in New York. too. They appear TO be
impressed with the opportunities for capi-
tai out here"
Mr. Wiley paid visit to District At
torney Whitman of New York, He says
that Whitman Is the man OF the hour
since the Becker trial.
Returning home. Mr. Wiley came by

WAIT FOR APPEAL IN
SLOT MACHINE CASE
Officials May Decide Not to
Gust "Nickel-eater" Until
Everything Is Settled.

While no general announcement has
been made by Mayor Samuel c. Park
Chief B. F. Grant or City Attorney
Harper j. Dininny in reference TO fu-
ture action on the ousting of the slot
machines now operating in She city, it
is generally understood that nothing
will be done until every possible ques-
tion has been settled so far as the
courts are concerned.
When the test case with 3. +, Doran
was started an agreement was made
to try out the constitutionality of the
city ordina nee forbldding the opera tion
of the 'nickle-eaters. The cnsc was
taken through the city. district and su-
preme courts and in each instance the
city was the winner. However, there
still remains the statutory time in
which an appeal for rehearing may be
fled in the supreme court.
While the city officials might, under
the decision of the supreme court
rendered Monday, proceed to put the
machines out OF business, it Is said
that the executives in charge fear that
such action would only precipitate an
other injunction suit by the slot ma
chine owners until an appeal could be
filed.
The only definite statement made last
be done until the return of Thomas
MarioneauX, attorney for Mr.. Doran. Mr..
Marioneaux is at present out of the
city, but is expected back the latter
part of the week
Mayor Samuel c. Park expressed him
self Yesterday as greatly pleased at the
decision of the supreme court. He did
not meet with the city attorney or the
chief of police, however, and he has not
yet given any instructions in regard to
the matter.
Mr.. Dininny said yesterday that al
ter reading the supreme court decision
he could see no reason why the city
could not proceed at once to drive out
the slot machines. An agreement was
entered into between the slot machine
people and the former corporation coun-
sci for the city. with the terms Of which
Mr.. Dininny said he was not familiar,
but he said he would look into the mat
ter today.
