Ordinance Violation.

The first failure Of the Salt Lake

The patrolmen were riding down

The two motorcycle policemen followed
and the man on the fleeing machine
turned his power wide open and darted
east on Third South street. He then
turned south on Second East street
and at Fourth South, turned and ran
to Main, and again turned south.
Patrolmen Egbert and Husbands fol.

LAW SOME TIMES
WORKS A HARDSHIP
State Hotel Inspector Dis
cusses the Rule Relating
to Fire Escapes.

Hotels in Utah, more than tive
stories in height, must have proper fire
escapes. no matter whether the archi
tect originally planned for them or not
This is the dictum of j. j. Meyers
state hotel inspector. and during the
last week he has Forced four hotels tc
install fire escapes, However, be says
that the end is not yet and that il may
take another week IS campaign before
the hostelrics are properly provided
with safety appliances. Mr.. Meyers
sand yesterday:
liz most of the smaller towns, the
architects, who designed the hotels,
did not plan for fire escapes and
as result the order 20 install them
has worked n hardship on many Of
the ~roprietors, In several in
stances. they have had TO remove
portions OF the walls and rooms to
make their structures conform TO
the law. In one of the canyon re.
sorts, a stairway leads from the
third floor to the mountain side in
the rear. However, that does not
provide for the escape of the guests
occupying front rooms who would
bc caught like rats in a trap in the
event of a blaze For that reason
have insisted on fire escapes.

RISK LIVES To STOP

left death in its wake was stopped by the
daring OF Fireman w. j. Patterson last
night after a wild chase through the
downtown district from central fire sta
t.on TO the intersection OF Fifth East and
Second South streets. Patterson made a
spectacular leap from a swiftly moving
motor car onto the pole of big fire

animals, succeeding from the vantage
point gained in drawing rein. Prior TO
this. Robert Burns. assistant electrician
