Senator George Sutherland of Utah has been elected president of the American Bar association for 1917, de- feating by four votes Walter George Smith of Philadelphia. The vote was twenty-six for Senator Sutherland and twenty-two for MT. Smith, Senator Sutherland is one of the best known Republicans of Utah. He is not con- nected with the Mormon church in any, way. For years he practiced law in Provo, but left there for Salt Lake to seek wider fields and increase his political standing. Senator Suther- land was born in Buckinghamshire,
 England, in 1862 and was brought by his family to Utah few years later.
 He was educated at the Brigham
 Young academy at Provo. After fill- ing various clerical position he served for time as agent for Wells, Fargo &
 Go. at Tintic. He graduated at the University of Michigan law school in 1885 and later married Miss Rosa mond Lee of Beaver, Utah. He served in the legislature and was the repre- sentative of his adopted state in the ffty-seventh congress. He was the choice of Senator Reed Shoot for the United States senate in 1905, and suc- ceeded Thomas Kearns to that office

CHARTER CANNOT
 NOW BE VOTED ON
 AT NEXT ELECTION
Mayor, In Keeping With Ad- ministration's Scheme, Keeps
 It From Aldermen.

The common council having failed to take any action last evening, the vote on the proposed commission form of government charter cannot now be taken at the regular election in November. The election must now be held on November 18th the date designated by the mayor or on some later date. The special committee which prepared the charter saw to it that it was in the hands of the mayor in time to be submitted at the regular election in November, provid- ed the mayor sent it the council last evening with his recommendation.
 No mention of the charter was made at the meeting. The Republi- can members anxious to get away to the state cofvention at New Haven rushed the business through with all speed. Had the mayor so desired the date of the election might have been fixed last night for Tuesday, Novem- Der 7th. the regular general election day. Now under the law it must go over until a later date. At the next meeting of the council the mayor will probably present a message with the draft of the proposed charter and ask the council to approve the date he has selected for the election.

Walnut SBeach, Sept. 7-Marooned on Charles, Island with an incoming tide and asheavy sea running, two young girls, stopping tAthe Dew, Dror cottage, Walnut SBeach, who. refused to impaFt their names for publica.
 ton, hads a thrilling experience yes
 terday.
 After shouting vainly to passing motorboats for several hours they were finally taken off the island by RobsEt Fern, and Jack White. but owing sto the sheavy surf and Jthe in ability *of the motorboat to Smake a landing, they had to be dragged ashore by willing hands on ithe end
 of ropes.
 Thoroughly wet, frightened and half choked with water as a result of yesterdays experience the young women are said at the cottage today to be confined to their beds. They were taken to- Charles Island by a canoeist who later abandoned them to their fate.
 Such practice on the,part of men al Walnut beach is said to be connnon tbut the police authorities have not taken cognizance of the incidents're ported.
