VACCINATION MAY I
BE COMPULSORY
Utah Health League Passes
Resolution for Repeal of
Conflicting Laws
OPPOSITION DYING AWAY
WILLIAM H KING TELLS OF EX
PERIENCES IN EUROPE
Compulsory vaccination and Its ef
fectiveness as a preventative of small
pox brought forth scorns of opinions in
its favor at the annual meeting of the
Utah Health League held in the council
chamber last night Prominent phy
sicians from many sections of the state
exchanged views on the best method of
convincing the people that vaccination is
the only genuine preventative of the dis
ease which they claimed had been gain
ing ground in the state since the begin
ning of winter
Dr F E Clark of Logan Utah who
preceded over the meeting said in Ms
opening remarks that in Utah there had
been a lamentable amount of objection
to vaccination He claimed that there
are parts of Utah where a physician
might be seriously dealt with should he
agitate the vaccination of school chil
dren
But members of the league protested
that such was not the case and Dr T
B Beatty secretary of the state board
of health interrupted Dr Clark with the
statement that within a comparatively
short period more than 2000 men wo
men and children had been vaccinated
in t d about Provo
That vaccination should be compulsory
at least with school children seemed to
be the opinion of every physician and
member of the league But to learn
whether this would seriously infringe
upcn personal rights William II King
was risked to give the league his opin
ion In the course of a tak In which he
favored compulsory vaccination he said
There has been a fueling that the law
that compels a person to be vaccinated is
illegal and it seem also to be a pre
vailing thought that objection Is only of
fered to vaccination In Utah A few
years ago while in England I discov
ered that masstnetings were held against
vaccination and that objection has fre
quently been made in the middle states
and New England
Want Law Repealed
A paper on Vaccination was read by
Dr Ralph T Richards of Salt Lake It
aroused enthusiasm in favor of compul
sory vaccination resulting in a resolution
demanding that compulsory vaccination
be enforced
By unanimous vote the motion being
made by N L Morris it was decided to
draw up resolutions and place them in
the hands of the legal committee direct
ed toward repealing any law which pre
vents enforcing vaccination
The following resolution was then
drawn by Mr Morris and presented to
the legal committee
Be It resolved That whereas there is I
upon the statute books of the state a I
law restricting the exercise of police au II
thority necessary for the enforcement of
those regulations proposed by the school
board and as the necessary precaution in
order to prevent the spreading of dis
ease Therefore be it resolved That it Is
the duty of the Utah Health league to
devote its influence and power toward
the repeal of this law
Those who took part in the discussion
in favor of compulsory vaccination in

TAKES A SACK OF U LEMONS i
Youth of Seventeen Has Box of Mor
phine in Pocket When
Arrested
One large sour package brought Alfred
Noyce aged 17 Into contact with the
police again last night Young Noyce
the police say was caught with a gunny
sack half filled with lemons on West
Third South street Patrolman W M
Griffin took him to the stat n
Whether Noyce was preparing to make
lemonade or only contemplated handing
his enemies a few of the succulent sour
ones Is a moot question but it is al
leged the lemons were stolen from a Third
South street restaurant and Noyce was
charged with petit larceny It Is the sec
ond time young Noyce has been arrested
for petit larceny When taken to the
police station Noyce was found to have
a box of morphine in his pocket and it
Is supposed he intended selling the lem
ons to obtain more of the drug

I A SALT LAKE BOOSTER I
I
ktTT 7HBN I came to Salt Lake 25
W years ago I stopped at the
v head or Main street as I was
coming from the raiircau station and
remarked This is going to bo a
great city and this statement is one
on which I can stand today with its
realization already at hand said John
James yesterday I am neither a
prophet nor the son of a prophet and
that remark I made 25 years ago was
not a prophecy
Ratner it was a simple statement
of fact made from m > first impression
of Salt Lake I dont claim any patent
on the statement either for it is plain
that Salt Lake on account of the great
resources at our doors and its geo
graphical position is bound to become
a great city Nothing can keep Salt
Lake down and nothing if likely even
to retard its progress
John James was appointed clerk and
prosecutor of the city court in 1894
under Mayor Bascomb and at tne end
of his term Mr James took a pbsition
on a local newspaper which he held
until 1896 when he was elected county
clerk for Salt Lake count serving two
terms in that office He then entered
the insurance business and at present
Is connected with the Anderson Insur
ance agency which It 1 the general
agent for the Travelers of Ilai tford
a company with which Mr James has
been connected for five years Mr
James is treasurer and a member of
the executive tommittee at tile Utali
Life Underwriters association and he
was influential in organizing the un
derwriters of Utah three years ago
As secretary of the Salt Lake Cam
brian association Mr James played an
important part in bringing the national
Eisteddfod to Salt Lake two years ago
and in making it the unqualified artistic
and financial success which it was Mr
James is also interested in mining

Why did he do it

ETMTbody Is I asking why and I think
when a man does something of that kind
he ought to send a diagram of his rea
sons with it That question is asked at
least 100 times a day
Railroad men all over the country are
protesting against the change in name
of one of the oldest trains in the west
Passengers in New York going to Cali
fornia ask for berths on the Overland

caused by changing the name to Chicago
Limited Thousands of dollars have been
spent in advertising the name Overland
Limited yet it IB abandoned suddenly
and no one knows the reason The change
was made by telegraph and all Harri
