VICTIM OF MR
TITLE OF NEW Fill
Commercial Club Is Asked to
Protest, but Is Not Like
ly to Do So.
Having taken steps to slop the exhi
bition of motion picture films depleting
the Mountain Meadows massacre. the
Commercial club had brought to its at- i
tcntlon yesterday several other insla.nc.es
of the manner In which big film makers
are seizing upon Utah topics. Tho club
Is asked to suppress these as well.
One of the exhibits is called "A Vic
tim of the Mormons." Tt purports to
show tho inner secrets of the Mormon
cnurch and how polygamous marriages
are performed. Several of the scenes are
laid Inside the Mormon temple and there
arc shown a number of alleged pictures
of the temple rooms, including that, of
the great baptismal font. This picture is
plainly a "faJcc." probably concocted from
tho photographs recently given wide cir
culation as a lesult of the Max Florence
episode, it shows the orange oxen that
support the baptismal font., lying down
Instead of standing up. and whereas tho
original oxen are of the long-horn va
riety, thoso shown in tho lllm have been
dehorned.
This lllm is now being prepared and
will be released for circulation on all tho
big circuits February of this year. It
is the product of the Great Northern Film
company, with offices in Is'cw York. A
local theater is said to have a booking
for it this spring.
Joseph F. Calnc. secretary of tho Com
mercial club, said yesterday that Inas
much as this film dealt with a religious
subject wholly It was not likely that the
club could take steps to suppress It. In
the case of the Mountain Meadows mas
sacre film, the club considered that a
serious harm could bo done the Wnolo
state In a material way. and it there
fore took action against it. The other
film, however, could hardly be attacked
on the same ground, he said.

FRAZIER DECLARES
"FORECAST" FALSE
Retiring Food and Dairy Com
missioner Denies Statements
Attributed to Him.
FILES OFFICIAL REPORT
Favors Central Killing-Plant
for City as Sanitary and
Economical.
In a signed statement Walter J. Fra-zic-r.
retiring food o.nd dairy commissioner,
denies the statements attributed to him
and careful reading of his report sub
mitted yesterday to the commission bears
out his contention that the. "forecast"
was ontircly inaccurate. Frazlcr's state
ment follows:
"Tho published report In a. morning
paper of January 11, purporting to be a
forecast of my annual report to the city
commission is ontircly incorrect in a
number of particulars. ft wdll be shown
by a reference to this document sub
mitted Thursday morning to the com
mission. "I most emphatically did not say, as
ouolcd iti that newspaper, tbat 'almost
every slaughter house In or near the city
rooks with dirt nnd should be cloacd by
tho city for sanitary reasons.'
"Nor did I aaj that 'there aro cream
eries supplying butter to the local mar
ket which will be responsible for epi
demics of disease If they are not more
strictly regulated by the city In the near
future".'
"Is'or did I say 'a great deal of food
stuff sold -by retailors in Salt Lake, is
unfit for the market ar.d It is up to the
city commission to remove this condition.
"Other statements made in tho same
article aro incorrect, unauthorised and
untrue, as can be scon by comparison
with my official report.
(Signed.) "WALTEIt J. FRAZIER."
A consolidation of the food and dairy
department, the meat Inspection depart
ment and tho city sealer of weighty and
measures department under one head.
whose salary shall be not less than ?2000
a year is recommended in the annual re
port. Rap at Creameries.
In connection with this recommenda
tion, Mr. Frazler asks why tho various
creameries of the city, that he alleges
have been clamoring tor his removal, do
not co-operate In the efjorts to consoli
date the three departments as has al
ready been suggested by the. elty com
mission. Tie declares that these dairies
together with their friends are urging
the appointment of the present chief
deputy in the department, Frank 5. Tyr
rel. In the appointment of a daily Inspec
tor, Mr. I-'razicr savs that tho commis
sion should be careful to obtain the ser
vices of a government man If possible.
He declares that he bus been reliably in
formed that the government will discon
tinue the testing of cattle in Utah in the
near future, leaving the task of taking
care of these matters to the city itself.
T.ic report says that the milk inspector
should he a. man who has had practical
experience In the tuberculin testing of
cattle.
Improvement in Milk.
in going over tho rccoids of his de
partment during the six years of his In
cumbency as commissioner of food ami
dairies, Mr. Frasslcr says, that there has
been a. great improvement in the milk
supply of tho city
In his report Mr. Frazler says that he
is entirely satisfied with tho policy of Dr.
J. "W. Treman In the enforcement of the
meat ordinance. The report says I hat
the meat inspection Is costing tho peopl
too much for the. good which is derived
from It. He also thinks that tho ordi
nance should call for city inspectors to go
farther than one mile, beyond the cor
porato limits of the city.
In the report, Mr. Frajsier recommends
that tho killing of all animals he done
at one place. The report says that Mr.
Frazler is reliably informed that the
Inlcrmoiintaln Packing company plant
could be leased at a nominal figure. Ho
thinks that a. central killing plant should
be placed under government Inspection,
and in this way he expresses the belief
that Hie city could save S5000 annually.
Continuing, the report says:
Central Killing- Plant.
"For Istance, the killing at the six in
spected plants for the year 1911 was as
follows. IG.loo cattle, 41,652 sheep. 1555
hogs and 1042 calves. Taking as a basis
SR working days in a' year, the daily av
erage would be about. 6 cattle. 155 sheep.
51 hogs and Ho calves. The Intermoun
tnin Packing company's plant Is equipped
to handle 125 cattle daily. 400 sheep and
500 hogs There is no question but what
this plant would be adequate for at leaat
ten years. If the killing had all been
done at this plant for the pu3t year.
charging the nominal fee of 50 cents a
head for cattle, le cents for sheep. "5
cents for hops and L'5 emits for calves,
there would have been collected in fees
.$15,580.05. I feel certain that it cost the
six inspected slaughter houses of the city
?13.UIS for wages" aJono for the killing,
aside from the enormous amount required
to run tho plants and invested in ma
chinery. In my judgmnol (lie slaughter
hoijb-o, people, from a bti8iiic?s sfand
polnt. should be, at the back of the prop
osition." Mr. Fraaler in his report also vecoin
mende that an ordinance be pad lim
iting the acidity In cream to four-fifths
of I per ecu I. Mr. Frailer says that
thousands of gallons e.f inferior cream nr&
made Into butter every summer ly the
UKe of what is known as swot milk
starter. Mo favont the passage of a law
by the legislature requiring all butter
manufactured In this eliy to bear the
mark "Utah .State Brand." and only to
bp sold In 16 and .IC-ouuco packages,
which would have the effect, of distin
guishing it. from butter sold elsewhere.
Utah Milk Best,
The report says that the lo'-al health
department took tho gold priv.e at the
International Dairy show at Milwaukee
IphI i-ummcr for the lHst milk exhibited
and also received honors at the .local
state fntr.
Mr. Frnaler says tiit the. .Ien?en
Creamery company of this city did not
render the department any assistance
and support during the Kiiminer mouthy
In reference to the temperature of milk.
Mr, Frazler .nys that there 1 a prac
tice among some dairies to use t lie- trade
name of other dairies, which should b'.
slopped. lie says that the publl.- lias I
been Imposed upon by one dairy e;iing
butler under tho trade name of another
dairy.
The report shows that there were T77
s-nmples of milk tested during tho year,
showing the average of 3.S butter fat.
The law requires 3.2. which shows that
the average milk "Id here in above the
legal leqnircniont in the percentage of
butter fnl It contains. TIhto has bcn
a decrease In the number of deaths
i among hlldren under 5 years of age,
I which could probably be aecountod for by
I the good milk supply. A marked liu
I provc.ment. In the finality of eggo over
I former yeai Is shown by the report.
The disbursement of the department
for the year J511 amounted to 4713.11.

examples of capitol building competi
tions. One that la Just closed for the
capltol at Washington; the other is
that of malodorous memory for the
capltol of Pennsylvania.
Perhaps it is not known that the
scuJidal in Pennsylvania that sent an
architect and a number of contract
ors to the penitentiary r found its birth
In a competition in which the com
missioners would not take the advice
of reputable architects in regard to
Its provisions. We do not know the
complexion of those in charge In
Utah, but this is its history.
In Pennsylvania.
That those of Pennsylvania were
penal In their Intentions when they
refused to accept the verdict of a
properly regulated competition and
threw it over to secure an architect
who would be complacent is borne
out by the result. That the people
are still In the hands of the, same
brand of public servants Is evidenced
by the recent arrest of the city archi
tect of Philadelphia on similar
charges to those that convicted the
architect of the capitol.
If the Utah commission is honest
and wishes to serve the state, It will
call In the best architectural advice,
as Washington state did, and have a
competition Lhat will give them an
honest and capable architect. If It
docn not the people, may be sure in
advance that the capltol site will be
ruined by an unsightly building and
the stato disgraced by a capitol
scandal.
Calls Programme Vicious.
The issue of December "0 of the
American Architect, published at New
York, has the following:
The standing committee itself has
had to deal with many competitions
for structures that did not Ho with
in the territory of any chapter. It
has refused approval to two. one of
thorn beliisr state capitol, the pro
gramme for which was not only
vicious but was calculated to lead
members of Ihe institute astray by
naming as competitors sundry distin
guished architects, who at once
stated that they had no Intention
whatever of participating. The stand
ing committee has given its approval
to" five programmes, several of which
' it assisted In getting Into proper
order.

POULTRY FAWCIERS
PfiffiJlE BIRDS
Winners of Prizes in Richards
Street Show Exult Over
Success.
SOME CRITICISE JUDGE
Governor Spry and State .Fair
Board Will Visit Exhibit
Today.
"This is Bo.'iuty, Shc is only five
years old and is the best hcu iu tho
show, in fart, I think she is the best
hen in the world.
"J toll you when you lmvc a bird
that scores 9b")'i points you've 0t
some biTd, believe nie. Beauty is smurt,
too. Atihome she follows me around
like a dotr, and sometimes she trios lo
talk. She is pretty near human ut
times,"
As S. A. Elswood was tlui3 descant
ing to a largo, crowd around his prize
pen, ho held Beauty in his arms ;ml
l'ouclled her us one would a baby. The
hen would affectionately look up into
his fa cr and rub her neck over hin
arm. Then fr. TSIswood would set the
hen down on a box and t?ay, "Stand
up. liothity. Look at lhat comb. Did
you eer'tce a finer one? And that
head and neck, and that back and
tail, and thopo wings."
A bystander said: '''What's the mat
ter with her eye?"
"Oh, that's where" another hen has
pecked her. Notwithstanding, she 33
tho best bred bird in the peu. slio is no
fighter. The other hens all pick on
her even her grandmother, tbat ouo
over there." Mr. Elswood stopped
long enough tn point out. a big white
Plymouth Hock weighing more thau
teu pounds.
Frize Not for Sale.
lie then resumed. " Deauty is a
lavcr, too. Last year she laid 1U0 eggs.
No, 1 don't want to sell her.'-'
Beauty was put baek in the pen and
a big rooster was brought out.
"This rooster took first," said tho
proud owner. "Look at that comb.
Sec the fine poiuts. ILis name is Dick.
He scored 95 't and weighs ten and
one-half pounds. Ho was cut by the
.judge on ac.eounf. of hit) tail. I have a
finer bird than ho is at home."
As it was in front of the Elswood
pen, it was all over the show room, of
tho poultry exhibit on Richards street
yesterday. Each exhibitor was dis
playing to the curious ones the fine
points ' of his respective pigeons and
chickens. The chickens and pigeons
had ceased to coo and crow, rhcy had
all been judged, Tho prize winners had
stopped their exultations and the losers
had. oecouio reconciled to their loss and
no longer lamented their disappoint
ment. Occasionally the crowd around sonic
pen would thin out after tho exhib
itor had retold his stoo- :lt,d assured
his listeners .that while hia birds were
not for sale," lie might, as a special ac
commodation, dispose of one. j
Then two or more exhibitors would
get together. One would say, "What,
do you tbink of that judge.' lie only
gave my bird 95, while s--o and so 'a.
which is not near so fine a bird, got
fo-ri."
Down to Fine Points.
"Oh, I don't know," aid another.
" think ho was a pretty good judge.
Jle gave my cock 95 . Last year tlio
same bird was given 95 by a (lifferent
judge."
A third man interposed: "After ho
got through I brought hnn here and
asked him which of my two cocks
had the best comb. lie said this one.
I then showed hint by the score card
that ho had given the other the highest
rating." '
So it went all day. Some thought
he judge was all right, others thought'
ho was a little inconsistent. Every
once iu a while Ihe different exhibit
ors would stop discussing the judge
and fall to arguing which was the best
variety of chicken for all purposes
There "were as many opinions as there
were varieties. Tiie visitor boucstly
trying to learn something was Vuon at
sea battling with tho waves of Orping
tons, Wyaudottes. Rhode Island "Rods.
Leghorns and Plymouth Hocks, single
and ro?e combed."
The rauge of visitors yesterday was
larger than any previous day, aud" there
was a greater proportion of womeu
among them.
Governor Spry and the state fair
board will pav an official visit to the
show at 11. o'clock Ihis forenoon.
