i PROVISIONS OF ORDINANCE
i ARE TO BE ENFORCED
Eighteen Offenders Were Ar
rested for Violation of the
Law Thursday.
Chief of Police George Sheets, comply
ing with a promlso made by him to a
commlllco of tlio homo and education sec
tion of thci Ladles' Literary club on Mon
day last, yesterday Issued a sweeping
, order calling for the arrest of every man,
, woman and child violating the expectora
tion. Ordinance,
i ; Eighteen Offenders.
I, Following Instruction:) received from
their Chief, members of the police force
I brought eighteen offenders to the police
j BtaUon. Including men nnd women, all of
whom were booked on the charge of ex
pectorating on the sidewalks of Salt Lake.
The offenders Included men In all walks
' of life, and the names of laborers appear
I olde by side' with those of capitalists and
bankers on the station book.
Plead Ignorance of Law.
' So long -has the ordinance been a dead
J letter In Salt Luke, although It was passed
years ago, that a majority of the offend
j era last night pleaded ignorance of the
law In the matter. Ignorance of tbe law,
' however, was not acceptd as an excuse,
and tho olghteen offenders were obliged
to furnish ball or go to Jail. In all but
one Instance the ball was furnished, one
of the violators of the ordinance being
obliged to spend the night In jail.
Stranger Speaks Frankly,
i Clarence Southworth, who put up So for
his appearance In court today, said he
was a capitalist but a stranger in Salt
Lake, and knew nothing of this ordinance
relating to the sanitary condition of the
city; otherwise he would not have been
l guilty of violating It.
Passed Several Years Ago.
Several years age the antl-expectoratlon
ordinance, ns It Is known, was passed by
the City Council. The framing of the or
dlnnnco and Its passage were dun di
rectly to tho efforts of club women of
this city, who have from tlmo to time
visited the Chiefs of Police and called for
i a more stringent enforcement of this or
dinance. After such visits there would
( now nnd then be an arrest, but as a rule
this ordinance, like many others on the
books, has been a dead letter.
Women Called on Chief.
A- fow days ago the civic committeo
from the homo and education section of
, the Ladles' Lllerarv club called upon Chief
of Police Sheets and asked that this ordl
, nance, together with the one relating to

J to tho committeo that he would at onqo
Issue orders that would bring about a rev
' olutlon in the enforcement of the three
orders referred to. Ho began with the ex

sible, securing a revocation of tho license
to practice medicine now held by Dr. E.
S. Payne, who has twice faced a charges

because of lack of corroborative ovldence,
Is still fresh In tho public mind.

Dr. M. A. Hughes, president of the Salt
Lake Medical rioclety, said last night that
It was probable that some action would

was doubtful If It could bo accomplished,

tion. No Sympathy for Payne.

In the profession.

Of Great Importance.
"Tho sessions of the 'Seo America'
Icagaio, to bo hold In tho parlors and

Importance, as Mr. R. L. McCormlck,
executive committeeman at large; your
