Man Executed in 1894 Liv-
ing in California, Says
Smoot Organ.

N7 EARLY twenty years ago Enoch
~ Davis, a Utah county rancher
VI was shot TO death by the officers
OF the territory OF Utah in pun
lshment for the particularly bru-
tai and revolving murder OF his VIE;
Until yesterday those who remembered
Davis supposed that his bones were
wbtencd in a forgotten grave.
They were astounded yesterday TO
learn, through the Herald Republican,
L. Davis, was alive and well and that
he had just confessed TO three Utah
murders. In support OF this rema rkable
statement the paper prints photograph
that Is beyond question the exact like
ness of the Utah wife murderer, executed
twenty years ago.
The mystery of the reylyifylng of Da-
Wis Is hard 10 explain. NJ. NJ. Warner,
who defended Davis declares that he saw
Davis executed and Is sure he must have
been killed The records of the state
prison show that Davis was executed.
The picture published yesterday in the
Herald Republican tallies in every mi
mute detail with the picture of the wife
murderer published in The Salt Lake
Tribune OF September 10. 1894. Davis
doesn't look d day older than on the
day he was executed
Only one Of two eXplanatlo is possible
for the temperance OF Davis with only
his Initials changed. Either the Herald
Republican has solved the secret OF i'm
is able 10 raise the dead TO life after
they have slept for twenty years. or the
picture printed in that paper yesterday
is deliberate fake. Perhaps the dill
gent photograph seekers of the Herald
Republican have ransacked the files for a
picture OF a man so long dead that they
feel safe In using the picture and giving
II tho name of someone now living, In
this event all the pictures In that paper
Will deserve careful scrutiny. Possibly
one may find. looking forth from the
eyes OF the person represented the ghost
OF some half forgotten crime reappear-
ing 10 haunt the public.
II is true that man giving his name
as w l.. Davis has been arrested in Los
Angeles and in the jail there told OF kill
ing three men in fight on a range in
Uintah county, Utah in 1892. tt was
never suspected. even by the most sus-
picious, that this man was the rcincar-
mated Enoch Davis. legally shot to death
twenty years ago. Nevertheless, the
Herald Republican published the picture
of Enoch Davis, labeled IL wv Z, Da-
yts," and Identifies II as the picture OF
the Los Angeles prisoner
Should IL prove that tho Herald Re-
publican is correct, the greatest discov-
cry the world has ever known will have
been recorded If the man in the Los
Angeles jail is not Enoch Davis it Is
probable that he may object to his iden-
t!flca ton by the Herald Republican as
not only convicted, but an executed
murderer.

Commissioner of Finance
Objects to Issuance of Ii

A discussion Of the rooming house
question was precipitated in the city
commission meeting yesterday when
Henry w. Lawrence, commissioner of
finance, asked why it was that the
chief Of police had recommended Ii
cense for Mae Dounelly at the Bruins,

orally known to be disorderly house,
The finance commissioner declared
that he and another commissioner had

reports current about the Brunswlck,
and in view of the report of that detec.
tive he said he could not understand
how the chief could recommend the
granting OF g. license.

health department will be considered by
the city commissioners next week.
An offer to sell the building for 500, 600.

by the Mountain States Telephone & Tel
cera ph company. Mayor Park estimates
that for $4,000 the building can be re-
modelled 10 suit the needs OF the police
department and the health department
Owing TO its proximity TO the city Jail
and its central location generally, the
building is looked upon as Ideal for the
city's needs.
After all matters pertaining to the
budget and public improvements for this
wear have been attended TO by the COM
mission the question OF purcha sing the

No Evidence Secured.

Mayor Park replied TO the question
of the finance commissioner by declar-
ing that the police department had not
been able to obtain evidence against
the Brunswick, despite the current re-
ports and in spite OF numerous attempts
to find sufficient evidence on which to
base refusal Of license.
''Without such evidence VIC cannot
recommend that license be denied, -
said tho mayor. We arc still trying
TO get evidence against the place.
The Brunswick was granted license
January 10 on recommendation of the
chief Of police, who reported that 1T
had been inspected and passed on. The
inspection was made by Detectives Mo-
roni Gillespie and IL. D. Lyon.
Mayor Park also said that under the
present method of handling roomlng
houses and the Interpretation put on the
city ordinance by the courts it was al
most impossible to obtain a conviction
for violation Of the law. He said that
he favored new method under which
all licenses would be granted. and in
case of violation the courts would be
asked to issue an order under which
the alleged violator would have to show
cause why his or her license should not
be revoked.
Under the present method the city
commission merely refuses a license on
the recommendation of the police chief
and the roomiug house keepers so dc.
uied apply to the courts. 1t would be
more effective and direct to handle the
matter In the courts IN the first place
