ACCORDED CREDIT IN
TRAILING CRIMINALS
Detectives Cleveland and Christensen
Establish New Record in Police
Department.

Detectives George Cleveland and G. Q.
Christensen of the local police depart
ment have established a unique record
with regard to the number OF arrests,
confessions and convictions they have
caused since they started 10 work to-
gcther on November &c. 1919
A recent audit OF the criminal blotter
at police headquarters reveals that
Cleveland and Christensen have had the
greatest number OF convictions In the
history OF the detective department Of
the salt Lake police Records OF service
and efficiency OF officers under civil seTy-
I've are compiled and accepted from the
greater number Of convictions from the
least number OF arrests.
Out OF thirty-four arrests on felony
charges every ono pleaded guilty and
made confession and all are now serv-
ing from eleven years TO six months for
their crime Criminals who have been
sought for years by police OF other
cities have been run down by Cleveland
and Christensen. With but one eXcep-
ton more rewards have been paid to the
two officers for information or the arrest
OF noted criminals than any others In the
history Of the state.

FIGHT WITH RAZOR Is
SERIOUS FOR HAYNES
Slashed Negro Nearly Bleeds to Death
Before Reaching Hospital; AS
sailant Escapes.

Frank Haynes, colored, "a years OF
age, was almost cut TO death in razor
battle shortly after 7:30 o'clock last
night in front of the Hatfield club. at
139 East Second South street; Another
negro, known as Sweater Thomp'
son, is said to have wiolded the razor.
HAYNES was taken TO the emergency
hospital, where the deep gashes from
his right ear downward across
his face to the chin and across
to the back of his neck, bled
profusely. The quick work of DR.. II;
3. Sprague in mending the arteries and
stitching the cuts probably saved
Haynes from bleeding TO death. Nearly
forty stitches were taken In the two
wounds.
It is not known how the fight
started, but it is believed both Haynes
and Thompson were intoxicated and
had been quarreling. Thompson dis,
appeared, according to witnesses, and
uttered oaths at Haynes while he ran.
Officers were unable TO find him last
night. HAYNES was able to leave the
emergency hospital last night.

QUESTION OF LICENSE
REFUND IS RAISED
Proposed Ordinance Against
Fortune-telling May Not Be
Operative Until July /.

That the ordinance prepared by the
city attorney at the suggestion OF Com
missioner Heber NJ. Wells lcgislating
against fortuue-telling and kindred pro
fcssions may not become operative be-
fore July ] was Indicated yesterday at
the meeting of the commission.
The ordinance was introduced for
final vote, but after some discussion was
laid over until today. The question of
refunding the pro rata license fee TO
those who have paid for the half year
was raised. Mr.. Wells asked whether
or not the fee could be refunded II the
ordinance was put into effect al once.
One of tho commissioners informed HIM
that the same question had previously
been passed upon By the legal depart
ment which had held that no refund
could be made when once license fee
had been paid.
Mr. Wells then said that he did not
believe it would be fair 10 legislate poo
pie out of their profession. even though
il is Objectionable, unless they could be
repaid the money they had paid the city
in good faith as license fee. There
upon action on the ordinances was con-
tinued until today and the city attor-
ney asked for an opinion on the ques-
ton.
The licenses of all the fortune tellers
of the city expire on July ] and 1t IS
expected that the ordinance when final
ly passed will be operative on that date.

REGARDS BUSINESS
OUTLOOK AS BRIGHT
Ashby Snow Finds Fasteners Decided
ly Optimistic in Their
Outlook.

a feeling OF optimism pervades the
business world everywhere and the pro-
piuous start OF the new year indicates
prosperity. in the opinion OF Ashby Snow,
well-known Salt Lake attorney. who is
home again after a six weeks vacation
trip to New York City.
Mr.. Snow says that business conditions
have shown a marked Improvement in
financial centers since the first OF the
year and that the eastern press and the
public are predicting a steady and sub
stantial prosperity for the coming year.
He said:
Everyone in New York is an opt1mist
All OF the business and financial men and
all OF the papers are agreed that the
signs OF the times all point to a pros
porous year. The currency act straight
ened out financial conditions and made
the money market easy Business con-
d!uons throughout the east are all favor
BILE now The Improvement since the
first of the year has been very great
President Wilson is growing greatly IN
favor all through the east and his poll
cies are viewed favorably by practically
all OF the eastern Journalists. His ad-
ministra ton seems TO be regarded almost
universally as a success

ARTISTS ARE SOUGHT
Police Investigate Complaints OF
Operations OF Two Young Men
on West Side.

The police are searching for two clever
young forgers who passed several worth
less checks at west side saloons and
business houses last Saturday afternoon,
The checks purported 10 bear the sigma
ture Of John W. Hay, manager OF the
Salt Lake Plumbing &c Heating company
Each check was drawn In favor OF c. j.
Berger, a foreman in the employ of this
company, and the Endorsement OF Mr.,
Berger was forged on the back OF each
check.
The hest description of the two forgers
was furnished the police by Peter De-
meris, a confectioner at 245 Rio Grandc
avenue. He said that two young men
came into his store shortly after s
o'clock last Saturday and asked him TO
cash a check for $40. The check look ed
good so the confect!oner cashed It The
check was returned from the bank yes
terday and turned over to the police by
Demeris. In working on the case the po-
lice discovered that the same pair had
cashed several other checks on Saturday
one at n saloon at Second South and

of the features of cabaret shows in
some of the cafes must be modified or
else action might be taken to close
them all
The conference, according to Mr..
Wiley, wns friendly one and the
cafe managers Indicated a willingness
to cooperate with the officials in main
tanning q respectful and reasonable
compliance with the law. Mr.. Wiley
declared that some Of the cabaret fea-
lures are extremely offensive and dis.
gusting, while others are not.
He explained that he did not desire
to embarrass the city officials in the
matter, but that he considered it his
duty TO warn the managers that Of
fcnsiye entertainment in the cafes
must be eliminated or prosecutions
would follow.
Mr. Wiley was particularly anxious
10 have it understood that he was not
acting at the request of the ministe-
rial association or any member of il,
but was proceeding entirely independ-
emily and on investigation made by his
Office.
The proprietors or managers of the

Big Saving for City as Compared With

the city commission yesterday for the
laying Of all water mains 10 be laid dur
ing the first half OF 1914. lis bid based
on approximate quantities OF pipe 10 be
laid. was for $55.374 In case he purchases
the pipe himself and s2i.6o7 In case the
city does the purcha sing. The latter Of
fer was accepted inasmuch as the city
already had decided TO purchase the pipe.
The city engineer informed the COM
mission that the difference between the
provisional bid entered by Bird was the
same as the cost OF the siX-inch pipe 10
the city.
Birds bid indicates tremendous drop
ping off in the cost OF laying water
mains within the last several years. For
two years the city has been laying its
own water mains. but prior 10 that time
the contracts ran about 40 per cent
higher than the present bid. The city
