Show predicament the following racy and suggestive Bugge etive article appeared in this morning ej issue of the salt lake tribune bune john M young has added another chapter to his brilliant record as marshal and chief of police of this city his bis latest exploit stamping him as ag a worthy descendant of the race of diplomats whose name he bears the subject on which he exercised his diplomacy was acting mayor pickard and that official like americas foremost representative wishes now that he had added a postscript reading I 1 burn this I 1 ing shortly after mr pickard became vested tested with the title of acting mayor a well known lady of this city called on him at his place of business and entered a protest spinet against the manner in which the police department raided the houses of ill fame she declared that in a number of cases she had heard of girls who were unable to pity pay their fines in full at the time of their arrest being allowed to pay what they could and then released in order that they could earn the balance balanc edue due this she declared wm was a shame and an autra outrage ge because the women would have to rus rusle le all the harder I 1 as her informant expressed it and she appealed to the acting mayor to do what he could to remedy the evils complained of mr pickard Pio kard having held similar views for a long time gave a ready compliance and when next he saw marshal young discussed it with him he requested that during his incumbency of the office of mayor me or no raids on the houses occupied by mes dames of easy virtue should be made and in the absence of any evidence at this writing Ling to the contrary the presumption is that the marshal agreed to respect the wishes of his bis superior on saturday the acting mayor was again a aln called on this time by a delegation af of ladies who made the same request of him they had bad evidently learned that a raid was contemplated and viewing the matter from a purely christian stand poin thad hastened with all speed the I 1 threatened blow at their weak and erring err in i sisters the acting mayor capitulated at once and as soon as the opportunity offered he again broached the subject to the marshal that official offered no objections when mr pickard requested that all raids be deferred until the return of mayor scott and the batters lat representative departed believing that white winged peace would hover over the objects of his christian visitors solicitude his belief was transferred into a certainty when marshal young requested him on wednesday to sign a document which he had prepared himself ordering ordering rail him as chief of police not to raid the gamblers or prostitutes mr pickard objected to the portion relating to gamblers and drew a line I 1 with his pen through it that relating to the prostitutes met with his approval and without a tremor he affixed his official signature to the document which given for the pure purest of motives some wiseacres wise acres believe was destined by its authors to be his political death war rant however the deed was done and there was no guardian angel near to warn him what use would be made of it within three hours after marshal young had secured the official order not to raid the houses of ill fame he had bad a posse of men consisting of sleuths special officers and hangers on raiding every house known to be under the ban of the law in the city inmates of the fashionable bagnios baguios and chappies chip pies who seek the pave at midnight inid night in search of prey were huddled together and tor for the first time in their miserable lives met on a common looting footing the raid was care fully planned so ao carefully in fact that a number of the the most notorious women were not to be found although they are known to every man comprising the raiding force but that is another story the same night mr pickard was casually informed by a police officer of the raid and as soon as he had realized the nature of the trick which had been played upon him his indignation know knew no boun bounds d he related to the officer how he came cam e to sign the order and on yesterday he repeated the at story ory to a tribune reporter the transaction has hag an exceedingly ugly look and the public will wait with interest the developments which will undoubtedly follow the above article created a stir at the city
