OGDEN, UTAH, NUMBER 5 COMMISSION IS $ 100,000 Coliseum Where Stock Show Will Be Held All HETir ABOUT GOATES f . - . Statement of Prohibition Commissioner That Bootleggers Are Licensed in Ogden Draws Fire From Officials; Mayor Francis Issues Statement and Explains Reasons for Licenses The statement credited to Deputy Prohibition Commissioner George A. Goates to use the padlock on Ogden soft drink parlors and that bootlega ging is flourishing in Ogden under licensing fee, caused quiteofa lengthy the city at the meeting pow-wocommissioners yesterday morning. Chief of Police Harry S. Anderson, Simon Barlow and City Justice-eleE. Pratt sat in Arthur Attorney City commission the while on the meeting Mr. Goates discussed chief the pnd statement printed in the Deseret Evening News on Wednesday. Chief Anderson stated that he had written to Commissioner Goates offering aid in suppressing bootlegging, and stated that Goates and three other enforcement officers had visited him in his office about three weeks ago, and that it was his impression that the federal men were well satisfied with the bootleg conditions in the city. Chief Anderson said: "At no time since I have been in office, he said, "have prohibition officers ever called upon my department for assistance or visited us. Neither have they consulted us. Neither have they consulted with us in any way. "I invited the prohibition men to consult with me and they came to Ogden. We spent several hours in my office discussing the prohibition situation. I explained our soft drink ordinance and they checked it over, point by point, and finally departed, seemingly very pleased with the way we are doing things. "I told them that any time they want help we would give it to them either by accompanying their officers en raids, supplying them with information, or giving their officers full police protection. "I afso gave them a lot of pointers on our situation up here. I told them that if they would lay off sending 81001 pigeons up here and center their work and shut off the supply of liruor at the source we could easily take care of the local situation. Mayor Francis, being head of the department of public safety, declared that the reason for the $100 per month license was due to the fact that it cost the city considerable sums to maintain order at soft drink parlors and that a high tariff was necessary. faei The mayor gave out a very lengthy statement to the press which follows: "Our whole effort is to improve conditions in Ogden. We are trying to benefit by the errors of the past. We could crusade and by so doing offer a false hope to the people of the community, but would be deceiving them as to what could be accomplished. "Our experience has been that bootleggers driven from one part of the city reappear at other points and we gain no real benefit. Therefore we have attempted to do by vigorous regulations that which cannot be accomplished by dramatic and spectacular raiding. "We turned away from fines and forfeitures because they have a tendency to reduce the whole problem to a farce. One of the most serious problems is brought about by the federal government, through its internal revenue department, sanctioning wine tonics which are known to have a greater alcoholic content than high-,- ,, 'k paUs. and which find their way direct into the homes. M "We, as Ogden city commissioners, are trying by our law enforcement, to and 7 children ofTethe the men, women city better; to give them a more wholesome environment. 'M When you find that by moving in I one direction, in answer to an ideal, there is an element of failure, then readjust your glasses and try to Ofind a more practical wav out, at the Ofame time recognizing human frail-citiof mankind. "In this particular case, taking cognizance of the fact that the public sentiment is divided, we realize there is not back of law a solid phalanx. We realize that soft drink parlors bring trouble so we are attempting to stringently regulate and supervise them. The license they pay merely provides the city with revenue with which to on supervision and regula- thm Commissioners Harman W. Peery end Fred E.

The livestock show is a event for Ogden. Ten years of hard, persistent effort with a vision of the future success of the undertaking have made the present show in the $300,000 coliseum posred-lett- er sible. Prizes this year are four times as large as were offered when the first show was held nine years ago. The Ogden show now ranks ninth in importance in the United States and receives substantial support from the national breeders associations, stockyard companies and commission men throughout the country. Beef cattle, dairy cattle, sheep and hogs that have made consistent winnings in the long list of county, state, sectional and intematioal expositions have been entered in the Ogden show. Competition will be keen in every class. Prize animals that head famous herds throughout the country will vie for new honors. Nor has the entertainment feature for the stock show visitors been neglected. Standing room is expected to be at a premium Monday evening at the Paramount theatre for the classic program of 40 rounds of boxing, headed by Ogdens own Jess Hobson, who meets A1 Garcio. On Tuesday night, the revelries will take place at the White City Gardens, where continuous dancing will be in order. The stock-me- n on Wednesday evening will gather around the festive board at the Hotel Bigelow for the annual banquet. Ogdens position as the gateway to the west puts her in an ideal position to foster such a notable undertaking, Thousands of visitors from every direction will pour into Ogden to attend the show. The layman may well admire size and beauty of the animals on display, while the livestock men visiting the show in great numbers will avail themselves of the opportun breeding ity to purchase pure-bre- d stock to improve their herds. The entry list for the show this year is larger than ever before. One entry of sheep has been brought from Cass City, Michigan, while another has come from Ontario, Canada. Oregon, Washington and California states are well represented as well as the. surstates and rounding intermountain Mississippi valley points. Substantial prizes offered by the show committee and the special prizes offered have aided greatly in attracting exhibitors to the show. The largest contribution is being made by the American Shorthorn Breeders association, through its director, Frank W. Harding. This association will pay $1,500.00 to the winners in the Shorthorn cattle classes, prorated according to the classification in the show premium list. The American Here ford Breeders association is second with s cash offer of $1,000.00 to the Hereford cattle exhibitors. The association of America has agreed to give $214.00 to the Holstein ribbon winners and the association offers $100.00 to be prorated to the Angus exhibi- Firms at the Ogden Union Stock Yards have listed a special prize of $37.50 to the grand champion carload of fat swine and the same amount to the exhibitor of the grand champion carload of fat lambs.

In the Junior department the Salt Lake Tribune will award as special prizes gold, silver and bronze medals to the boys winning first, second and third places in the livestock judging contests in the college division, the future farmers division and the club division. The Salt Lake Tribune also offers a silver trophy to the club or group that puts on the best pep stunt during the show for the entertainment of the exhibitors and patrons of the show.

'? ,y Put on Gala STATEMENT OF If Pennants Arrive Thrift week, January 17 to 23, inOgden will present a gala appearclusive, will be observed in Ogden this ance for the livestock show visitors year with the hearty support of the city commission, financial institutions, merchants, civic and social clubs, and the schools, is is announced by Mayor Frank Francis, who has taken the initiative in the matter. An executive committee of five has been appointed by Mayor Francis as follows: Taul Lb Newmyer, secretary of the Colonial Building & Loan association; Harry S. Anderson, representing the banks; A. B. Foulger, representing the retail merchants division of the chimber of commerce; W. Karl Ilopkins, superintendent of schools, and J. Bryon Barton, president of the Ogden real estate hoard. R. Lb Olson of the Colonial Building and Loan association was made publicity chairman for the event. A systematic- discussion of- several particular forms of thrift will be made each day during the week as outlined by the national thrift council such as wise spending, life insurance, home ownership, safe and conservative investments in securities, prompt payment of legitimate bills, having a bank account, conserving ones health, sharing with others, and such subjects. - Drive to Kill Lions Soon to Take Place An organized drive to exterminate several mountain lions known to be roaming the mountains in the vicinity of Ogden will be undertaken as soon as a trained leader dog can be secured to lead a pack of dogs on the trail of the beasts. Mrs. Gus Wright, who reported seeing a large mountain lion several times last summer in the vicinity of Wright camp, reported seeing the lion again early this week behind Idlewild. S. Dilworth Young, scout executive, also reports that his scouts tracked three lions, a male, female and a cub. One of the beasts has also been seen by residents in Uinta at the mouth of Weber canyon. It is estimated by the fish and game department officials that a full grown lion will kill at least one deer each week during the winter season, and it is hoped by the department that the beasts can be killed in order to save the deer. efore they depart, if a rush for 507 pennants arrives n time, according to Commissioner larman W. Peery, who has charge of the street department. With Ogden rapidly becoming convention center, said Commissioner eery, I believe the city should make an effort to decorate its streets and put up the best possible front for its visitors. This plan will allow for a permanent decoration of Ogden. If t proves satisfactory it will probably be extended in the future to include ether streets. The pennants, which are guarantee! to be fast color and not to fray out, poles will be placed on the white-wa- y and across the streets on wire connecting the poles." 'Washington ave and Twen nue between Twenty-thir- d streets, and Twenty-fourt- h streets from Washand TWenty-fift- h will be decavenues Grant to ington orated at present, while further appropriations will be made to include other blocks in the business district. American flags have not been U3ec in order that the decorations may be left up for a number of days. Commissioner Peery submitted the idea for the pennants to City Engineer Harry C. Errett who devised the plan vhich was also submitted to severa leading architects who approved the plan. Seven banners will be strung on each Tope across the street. The present order will cost $468, tnd will be made by a concern that furnished pennants for the battleships.' Army Smoker to be Given Monday Night Invitations are being sent today to all reserve and National Guard officers in the Ogden district to an army smoker to be held in the American Legion chateau Monday evening, January 7 at 7:30 oclock. This smoker was arranged by committee consisting of Lt. Col. Laurence Clayton, Major Ora Bundy, Lt. A. O. Roberts! Lt Chas. V. K. Saxton of the reserve, and Capt N. P. Walsh of the United States army. The purpose of the smoker is to get the many Reserve and National Guard officers in this district acquainted with each other. Refreshments and a program will be given during the evening. On the will be a talk by Colonel Jrogram of Salt Lake City. It is hoped by the committee that a chapter of the Reserve Officers association will be organized during the evening. National Guard, as well as Reserve officers, are eligible to membership in this association. ' graph order ty-six- th Herbert Gould to Appear in Oratorio, Elijah, Tonight With Herbert Gould, the famous New York basso, present last night with the Ogden tabernacle choir in its final rehearsal for their presentation of the oratorio, "Elijah tonight in the tabernacle, music lovers of Ogden have the opportunity of enjoying another rare musical treat. Further assurance of a most splendid presentation is seen in the announcement by Lester Hinehdiff, director of the choir, that Prof. Anthony C. Lund, director of the Salt Lake tabernacle choir and a large number of his choir members will join with the Ogden singers tonight. Mr. Lund, in proffering his services, stated that the desire for inter-dt- y helpfulness and the opportunity to hear Mr. Gould in another performance prompted his action. Those who heard "The Messiah on New Year's day were loud in their praise of the presentation and were delighted with the work of the soloists. While Mr. Gould was the most outstanding, due to his finished musicanship, genial personality and splendid voice, Mrs. Bernice Tyree, Ogdens own contralto, was given warm praise for the beauty and dignity of her performance. Miss Jessie Williams, soprano, and James Uaslam, tenor, of Salt Lake, were well received. Mr. Gould, it is stated, will have greater opoprtunities in the "Elijah tonight than were presented in the rendition on New Years day, although the "Messiah ranks as one of the most outstanding oratorios in exist- ence. . old.

Federal Agent Takes Exception to Statement Made by Chief of Police; Says Government Is Not Satisfied With Ogden Conditions; Will Handle Sit- uation the Way They See Fit When interviewed by a representative of The Post last night, Federal Prohibition Deputy George A. Goates paid his respects to Chief of Police Ilarry S. Anderson and Mayor Frank Francis in no uncertain terms. ... "The statement made in the Deseret News was not authorized by me, said Mr. Goates. "However, T do wish to answer some of the statements made in the meeting of the board of city commissioners as reported ' in last nights "It is true that Standard-Examine- r. Chief Anderson invited me to come to Ogden, and I did go to Ogden and visited him in his office. As to the statement that I and the other federal officers who were with me were seemingly satisfied, I wish to say definitely that we are not satisfied with conditions in Ogden in respect to the liquor traffic. The reference to "stool-pigeobeing used in Ogden is erroneous. Since I have been in office the only men who have operated in Ogden are regular salaried and duly appointed federal enforcement officers. "Chief Andersons statement that he had offered police protection to federal agents is a slur. The federal officers are amply able to take care of themselves. The position of the government in respect to the soft drink licenses is that we consider the ordinance as prima faeia evidence that bootlegging is being licensed. The government will have no part in this farce. The city commission is sidestepping the real issue. "This office will handle the Ogden situation as we see fit. It is not the policy of the office to police the town. "Mayor Francis has been quoted as saying that he resented federal intervention in Ogden. We will intervene whenever we see fit and will not ask either the mayor or chief of police for permission to act. "As for the mayors reference to my office preventing the sale of tonic wines, I want to say that when he took his bottle into the meeting of the Lions club, he violated the law. ns Dr. Porter to Speak At Kiwanis Meeting Dr. R. O. Porter, dean of the school of medicine of the University of Utah and incoming governor of the Utah-Idah- o Kiwanis district, will be the principal speaker Saturday evening at the installation of officers of the local club. Chester B. Morse, lieutenant-governfor northern Utah, and George II. Lowe will also speak. Fred Norton will be installed president for the coming year following the annual report of Frank M. Browning, the retiring president. The meeting will be held at the Hotel Bigelow. or Glaring Headlights Cause Wreck; 2 Hurt Blinded by glaring headlights from an approaching car, Jesse E. Thurston, 20, failed to see the canal bridge on West Twelfth street in time to avoid running his machine into the canal Wednesday morning. Thurston was accompanied by Miss Lucile Price, 18, at the time of the accident. The other car proceeded on its way apparently without knowing that the Thurston car had wrecked. Both parties were severely bruised and sustained broken riba. . |
