thought that he would disobey the
court, that he would defy the law, the
courts and the government He
thought he would be like the bull on
the railroad track trying to buck the
train. But the train came along and
swept the bull off. Brother Titus said
he would buck tho court, show it up
and put 1t in a hole. He did the Rob

sentenced, and somehow or other he
got into Jail. That's what will happen
to all who disobey the orders of this

SAYS APPEAL BOARD
CANNOT Be CREATED
City Has No Authority, Is
Finding of Attorney
Dininny.

The city attorney yesterday informed
Commissioner Richard p. Morris in a
written opinion that the commission
has 20 power to pass an ordinance
creating board Of appeal to act IN
cases Of controversy between the city
building inspector and property owners.
Suggestion that such an ordinance be
enacted was submitted to Commissioners
Morris by Emil Lund, building inspcc-
tor. several months ago,
Many controversies have arisen dur
ing the present administration between
Lund and private interests which have
protested against the inspectors order
and requirements in building matters.
Many Of these disputes have had to
be settled by special hearings before
the commission The building inspector
submitted a proposed ordinance under
which such disputes would be referred
to the board Of appeal, the decision of
the board to be binding on both the
city aud the property owners.
Mr.. Dininny, the attorney, scouts the
idea as impracticable and illegal. He
holds that the city has no authority
to delegate any such power to sepa'
rate board

MAJOR MYTON TELLS
OF UTAH ENTERPRISE
Writes Garden City (Kan.) Newspaper
Praising Mormons; Says They Are
Industrious and Honest

Praise for the citizens of Utah. and
especially for the Mormons, is contain
ed IN letter written to the Garden
City (Kan.) Herald by Major e. P. Ny.
ton. Will G. Farrell, secretary of the
Commercial club, yesterday received a
copy of the paper in which the letter
appeared.
In substance. it says that the Nor
mons have been slandered; that they
have three strictly enforced character
istics-industry, honesty in business and
that they educate their children.
Picturesque allusion is made in the
letter to a Presbyterian church which
stands in Kaysville, with no broken
windows. although the writer states
that there must be a thousand Mormons
pass the church every day
Other things mentioned are Mormon
enterprise, their fashionable dress alb
sence of crime. love OF music and po-
lygamy. He states that there are no
polygamous marriages and that the in
stitution of polygamy is doomed be-
cause the relation is under the ban.
Major Myton closes his letter with
the statement
Taken altogether, life in Utah is
pleasant, happy and profitable to
any one who proves by his actions
that he deserves it, Mormons are
good neighbors, good citizens and
as fine friends as any man living
ever had. People who tell you diff
ferently either do not know or they
are trying to punish people who
don't like 3 scoundrel, and are
charging their hearers good money
for statements that are not true.
