PLAN TO PREVENT
DOUBLE TAXATION
Ordinance Is Introduced to Protect
Residents In Sewer
Construction.

An ordinance designed to prevent
double taxation for sewer improve
ments, in cases where the property
taxed occupies corner and abuts on
two streets, was passed around, among
the city commissioners last night, and
will be brought before the commission
today or tomorrow for action.
The new ordinance grants exemption
to seventy-ive feet Of the property so
situated. That is, III case sewer is
built along one street on which the
property abuts the property shall be
taxed for its full frontage, but if the
sewer is also built along the other
street on which it abuts, being a cor
ner property. seventy-fve feet of the
frontage of this second street shall be
exempt from taxation.
This ordinance is necessary to cor
rect the possibility of double taxation,
without benefit, according to the city
attorney. Heretofore only twenty-five
feet has been declared exempt.
W. II. Shearman. water commissioner,
also will bring in an ordinance this
morning changing the present method
of collecting deferred payments of
special improvement taxes. These taxes
are paid in annual installments, and
under the present system when one
payment becomes delinquent the city
treasurer raises the rate of interest on
all the payments. The water commits
sioner is of the opinion that this is
an injustice, since the other deferred
payments have not fallen due. His
ordinance will provide for the raising
of interest only on the individual pay
ment that has become delinquent.

ADDRESS TO VOTERS
TO BE DISTRIBUTED
Draft Prepared by City Recorder and
City Engineer Approved by
Commission.

An address to the voters, setting out
the reasons for calling the special wa
ter and sewer bond election and the
benefits to be derived in case the bonds
carry has been prepared by the city
recorder and the city engineer for gen.
eral distribution.
The city commission approved the
form of address last night and au-
thorized the recorder to have 10000 of
them printed in pamphlet form. These
will be distributed from house to house
throughout the city, and will be printed
several times in all the daily papers
of the city.
Attention is called in the address to
the fact that practically every dollar
spent for the water and sewer improve
ments will be expended at home with
laboring people and will find its way
into the various channels of local
trade. The voters are asked to remem-
ber that now is the time for making
these improvements, since more water
will mean more money later on.
All questions as to the right of the
city TO issue the bonds and all ques-
tions Of legality arising in connection
with the issue are answered clearly in
the address

REFUSES
TO REMOVE TRACKS
Must Have Either Substitute Rights
Of Way or Money Com
pensatiou.

That the Denver G. Bio Grarde rail
road will not remove its tracks from
the streets in the business district of
Sugarhouse, unless it is given a satis-
factory substitute night of way, or else
IS paid a sum commensurate with the
loss Of its present rights of way, was
the statement of A. B. Apperson, su-
perinteDdent Of the company, yester-
day.
Mr.. Apperson met with the city COM
missioners and delegation Of residents
from Sugarhouse In the mayors office
yesterday to discuss the proposal to re-
move the tracks. For two years the
residents Of Sugarhouse have sought in
vain to have the tracks removed. More
recently the commission itself has been
active in favor of the removal, because
of the fact that the streets now occu-
pied by the tracks are to be paved this
year,
No agreement was reached yesterday,
though it was decided that disinterest,
ed persons should be engaged to make
an appraisal of the loss the railroad
would suffer If the tracks were re-
moved. After this is done the resi-
dents in the district affected will con,
slider the matter of making a finan.
cinl offer to the railroad Superiu.
tendent Apperson said that in case such
an offer is made it will have to be sub-
mitted TO the board Of directors of the
railroad before il is accepted

ASKS DAMAGES IN
BREACH OF PROMISE
Camille E. Nelson Makes
Christopher Cramer De-
fendant in Suit.

For breach Of promise TO mary, Mrs.
Camille E. Nelson yesterday sued Chris"
topher Cramer In the district court for
$4,000 damages, alleging THAI she has
suffered 5000 actual damage and that
her heart has been bruised and broken
to the extent of $4,000 more, as re-
suit Of his alleged fiekleuess.
According to the initial bill, the en-
gagement was contracted last October l,
when, at his earnest supphcation, Mrs
Nelson promised to become Cramer s
wife. Five days later, to bind the en-
gagement, Cramer presented his BRIDE
to-be with a beautiful diamond ring
with the word "Camille" engraved
theron It was understood at that
time, she charges, that the wedding was
to take place not later than January
l5, 1914.
Pursuing his intention to marry her,
Cramer, it is set out, started to build
substantial home, of which he SAID
she was TO be mistress, and published
broadcast and without restraint among
their mutual friends and acquaintances
that she was to be his wife. For weeks
thereafter Cramer, it is charged, was a
constant caller at Mrs. Nelson's home
and professed on many occasions his
love for her and his intention to make
her his wife.
November 16, it is set out, Cramer,
without warning and without any real
reason. declared the engagement to be
over and refused to marry the plain
tiff.
His act in breaking the engagement
has subjected Mrs. Nelson to great
humiliation and caused her incalcula BILE
mental suffering, it is charged.
Cramer also demanded the return OF
the diamond ring and other gifts which
he had given her.
Mrs. Nelson ayers that Cramer IS
worth at least $4,000.
Mrs. Nelson, the plaintiff in the case,
is SO years of age and Cramer is 80
years old. The former has two sons
and the latter three.
When asked for a statement last
night, Cramer said that the suit was
a total surprise to him and that he
would have no comment to make un-
til he had had a consultation with an
attorney.
Cramer and Mrs. Nelson have been
friends for years, according to a son
of the former. Mrs. Cramer died about
seven years ago.
Cramer formerly owned a home on
Fifteenth South street, but sold the
and, pending the erection of
a new home, has been living in the
rear of his flower store at SO South
Main street.

FOUND UNCONSCIOUS
WITH A BROKEN LEG
Stephen Murphy, Laborer, Is Dis
covered In Sad Plight, Taken
to Hospital.

Unconscious and with his right leg
broken in two places, Stephen Murphy,
a laborer, 45 years Of age, was found
in An alley opening off Commercial
street by Patrolman r. w, Crow short
" after 8 o'clock last night. He was
taken to the emergency hospital for
surgical attention.
In the meantime Patrolman Crow ar
rested F. W. Galbraith and Joseph Har-
vey. Galbraith admitted to the po-
liceman that he struck Murphy in a
quarrel in saloon shortly before the
Unconscious man was found in the alley.
Harvey told of having dragged the man
to where he was found. Neither man
offered a satisfactory explanation for
his actions, however, and both were
held on open charges pending further
investigation.
Murphy, who says he came here two
weeks ago from Iowa, was attended by
DR.. R. W. Ashley. He recovered
consciousness soon after being taken to
the emergency hospital, and after the
fractures of his leg were reduced he
was removed to the county hospital. He
was too dazed last night to explain how,
he was injured.

THREATENED STRIKE.
IS NEARING A CRISIS
Local Union Will Meet This Afternoon
and Decide Definitely as to
Action.

The impending strike of the cooks
and walters OF the city will reach a
crisis this afternoon, when a meeting
of the local union will be held. at
which definite decision on a walkout
is TO be made Last night both the
employees and the members Of the en-
ployers' association were confident of
ultimate success. The former contend
that all they seek is six days. work
instead Of seven, and scale of wages
commensurate with that paid in other
cities
The members of the Hotel and
Restaurant Men s association issued 9
formal statement last night through E.
l.. Willie, their secretary. 1t is as fol
lows:
The only reason that the cafes
sent back the union cards Of the
cooks and walters was that we
could not afford to pay the scale
asked. In Denver the scale for
walters is $l2 a week. In San
Francisco it is So day. Here the
men ask $3.50 day.
The statements that have been
made that the members Of our
organization are trying to cause
trouble for the union houses and to
have merchants refuse to sell them
supplies is a deliberate misstate-
ment of facts. The whole thing is
business proposition with the
restaurant men. There are some
things we cannot do and keep
in business, and to meet the scale
demanded by the cooks and walters
will ruin many places Of business.

Noted Utah Artist Suffers
Sudden Attack of Illness
at Brothers Home.

TARRY L. 4. CULMER, known to

i probation of light and shade,
of the dawn s call and the sun

at the home of his brother, William +.
Culmer, 274 First avenue.
The noted artist has reached the
age of so years, and bears upon his
brow the laurels of an international
fame, as several of his pictures have
found place of honor in European art
galleries.
Mr.. Culmer, self-taught in the realm
or brush and canvas. found IN the
midst of many business cares the time
to cultivate his inherent love for de-
picting in form his emotions and i'm
pressions Of natures beauties. While
he has been painting for forty years, it
is only within the last FIVE or six years
that he has devoted his time entirely
to his art.
Critics of high standing who have
seen the best of his work have taken
pains to comment upon its high rank
as the effort of one who had studied
Interpretation, with ability to add some
Individual color.
Among the eminently worthy paint
ings of Mr. Culmer. which are well
known to Salt Lakers, are "The
Mystery OF the DESERT "Shoshone
Falls. 81 'Natural Bridge Tin south
ern Utah), and the "Temple of ON. "
Mr.. Culmer devoted his painting al
most exclusively to nature, being so
moved by the majestic symphony of
color and form that the technicalities
of portraiture were to degree neg
lected.
Mr.. Culmer was in fairly good health
up to last Thursday night, when he
was stricken by severe attack of
