20 THE SALT LAKE TRIBUNE, SUNDAY MORNING, MARCH 20, 1927. DERN FINISHES SIGNING BILLS Governor Disposes of Last Measures Passed by Seventeenth Legislature Executive Approves 89 Acts, Vetoes Four; Two Pass Over Disapproval. With the signing of four bills Sat­urday, Governor George H. Dern dis­posed of the last of the measures passed by the seventeenth legislature of the state of Utah. Records at his office show eighty-nine measures signed by the chief executive. These consisted of fifty-two house bills and two house resolutions, and thirty- three senate bills and two senate res­olutions. Three senate measures and one house measure were vetoed by the governor. Two of the senate mea­sures were passed over the governor's veto, making" a total of ninety-one acts that will be added to the stat­ute books of the state as a result of the last legislature. The bills signed by the governor Saturday were house bills 90, 120 and 195, and senate bill 117. House bill 90', by Mr. Holther, appropriated $25,000 with which to begin the construction of an armory at Ogden. There was some protest against the approving of this measure by the governor, but, in a statement Issued Saturday, the gov­ernor said he sighed the bill in spite of protests, with assurance from Ogden that the city would supplement the appropriation, so that the building shall be a civic auditorium as well as an armory. He also called attention to the fact that the proposed new armory at Brigham City is to be built so as to provide a civic auditorium. PROTESTS REGISTERED. Several protests were lodged against house bill 120, Tingey, which relates to the paving, repaving a-nd repair of streets by street railway companies, but practically all of them were with­drawn, according to a statement from the governor's office. The statement then goes on to say that this is a pet measure of the Ogden chamber of commerce, and has for its object the cleaning up and rehabilitation of th'j business district of Washington ave­nue, which is Ogden's main street. The business men on Washington ave­nue, according to the statement from the governor's office, are said to be almost unanimously demanding this improvement, at their own expense, but the law had to be amended before that could be done. Senate bill 117, Hollingsworth. reg­ulates the practice of law. Numerous protests against the signing of this measure were filed with the governor, but after consulting with several com­petent attorneys he decided the mea­sure was a worthy one, and affixed his signature. In regard to this mea­sure, the following statement was is­sued by the governor's office: GOVERNOR'S STATEMENT. "While this measure appears rather drastic in some respects, yet a care­ful reading indicates that its effects will not be as far-reaching as some people fear. For example, I am ad­vised by careful lawyers, who have examined the bill for me, that it will not interfere with the Intermountain Association of Creditmen and similar organization c. The language of some of the sections is rather involved and vague, but I am advised that Judicial construction would not permit the measure to go beyond protecting the public against incompetent practition­ers, as is done in the medical profes­sion." House bill 195, by the committee on appropriations, was the biennial budg­et. bill, appropriating money for the state departments, state institutions r-nd higher educational institutions, and was signed by the governor with­out change. Repair of Paving Will Begin Soon on City Streets Repair of paved rights of way of street car tracks and street pave­ment on the various streets of the city will begin soon, possibly this week, it is announced. The program, including repair work of the city street department and that of the traction company, is estimated at ap­proximately $150,000. The announce­ment follows a conference between P. J. Moran, city commissioner in charge of the street department, and Edward A. West, general manager of the Utah Light & Traction com­pany. State street between Fifth South and Ninth South streets will be given considerable attention on the trac­tion company's right of way, it was decided. In order that traffic will be interfered with as little as pos­sible, the city will wofk along on the same streets at the same time as the traction company. Spring repairs will require a month or longer, it is expected. TESTS BEGIN MONDAY. Tubercular test of cattle in Utah county will begin Monday, March 28, according to Dr. W. H. Hendricks, state veterinarian. The testing- will start at Lehi. Under legislation en­acted by the last legislature, all ex­penses connected with this work will be paid by the state. Display Window Vandals Sought Through Reward DAMAGE to large plate glass windows of various mer­chants In the business district has led to the offering of a reward by the Retail Merchants' bureau of $75 cash for information leading to the arrest and conviction of those responsible for the vandal­ism. During the last week valuable plate glass windows in the down­town district have been broken by persons using an air rifle, sling­shot or similar device. Small holes have been made in the win­dow, causing considerable expense in replacing the broken panes. Po­lice officials, believing the dam­age to have been done by boys in a spirit of vandalism, are doing all in their power to apprehend the guilty parties, according to A. A. Johnson, chairman of the bu­reau, but the bureau wishes to o further, and offer a reward for the arrest of those responsible, he said. Salt Lake Girl to Be Admitted to Swarthmore PRISCILLA BACON. Assurance that she will be admit­ted as a student at Swarthmore col­lege, Swarthmore, Pa., next fall has been received by Miss Priscilla Ba­con, 86 B street, from the admis­sions committee of that institution. Miss Bacon is one of seventy girls picked from about 500 applicants seeking admission to the freshman class of the college. The letter notifying her that she had been selected by the admissions committee was signed by Raymond Walters, dean of the college. In con­cluding the letter, Mr. Walters said: "As you were chosen from a very large list of applicants, we congra­tulate you heartily and look forward to ssing you here at Swarthmore next fall." Miss Bacon is a daughter of Mr. and Mrs. George M. Bacon and at present is a student at the East high school. She will be graduated from that institution in June of this year. Her selection by the Swarthmore ad­missions committee was made upon the basis of her scholastic record and general qualifications, according to the letter from Mr. Walters. Swarthmore college was founded by the liberal or Hicksite body of the Society of Friends and was first opened in 1869. It has been from the first a coeducational college, be- ing- the second institution east of the Alleghany mountains to offer instruc­tion to men and women on absolutely equal terms.

Hammond Killed by Accidental Discharge of Gun in His Garage. Sidney Charles Hammond, Salt Lake insurance man, was found dead in a garage in the rear of his home, 345 East First South street, at 10:30 Sat­urday night, by Detectives M. D. Mc­Ginness and Lester F. Wire. Death was due to the accidental discharge of a shotgun, the charge from the gun taking effect in his breast. Mr. Hammond's body was discov­ered after his prolonged and unex­plained absence from his home had alarmed his wife, Mrs. Mary Ham­mond, who summoned aid. According to the story told by her to Detec­tives McGinness and Wire. Mr. Ham­mond left home Saturday morning-, telling her that he might go to Ogden during the day, but that he would be home in the evening. He did not I return for dinner, and, upon his not returning later in the evening, she j became alarmeer. Don R. Lewis, a friend of the family, was called. He ] was unable to find Mr. Hammond at the homes of mutual friends in Og­den, and called upon the police for aid. Detectives McGinness and Wire called at the Hammond home, and during the course of conversation with Mrs. Hammond learned that Mr. Hammond had planned upon carrying some personal belongings into the garage for safe keeping. They entered the garage and found his body upon the floor. From the position of the body the detectives believe that the gun, which caused his death, was dis­charged when a part of the bed­stead, stored in the garage, had sud­denly fallen over, the impact of the fall discharging the gun. Mr. Hammond was about 60 years of age. He was well known in in­surance circles in Salt Lake, and had recently promoted a dredging company in Oregon. He was a member of the Masonic order. Besides his widow, a son, Ralph H. Hammond, of Cleveland, Ohio, survives. The body was taken to the Emergency hospital. TERRIER FINDS HOME BY BEING DOORSTEP BABY Felix Nerderhorn Adopts Foundling Pup After Losing Trick Pet. Felix Nerderhorn, pastry cook, has adopted an unusiual doorstep baby. The youngster, now a resident at'the Nerderholm home for a week, is doing I nicely. It differs from the usual doorstep baby, in as much as it is a fox terrier puppy. Felix will be remembered by Salt Lake dog fanciers as the owner of "Spot," a fox terrier which for three successive years won first prize awards at the Utah state fair as the best trained trick dog. Three weeks ago "Schpot," as Felix designated his pet, died as a result of poisoning. Felix, who regarded 'his pet with an almost paternal affection, was grief stricken. He heaped impreca­tions upon the unknown dog poisoner. It Is believed that a friend, en­deavoring to fill the void left by the sudden death of "Schpot," placed the tiny fox terrier pup on the Nerder­horn hearthstone. Felix doesn't know who left the dog, but he is forgetting his grief over Spot while devoting his attention to the proper upbringing of his doorstep pet. C. C.

(Adv.) poisoner has WOMEN GUARDS Sheriff's Office Employs Two 'Jailers' to Watch Confessed Child Killer. Following a conference of several deputies, decision was made by Chief Deputy Sheriff L. L. Larsen Saturday to have a woman guard for Mrs. Bernard Peterson at all hours of the day and night while she is in the sheriff's custody. Two women have been employed, to remain with Mrs. Peterson each twelve hours during the day. Mrs. Peterson has expressed the wish that she be left entirely alone. This, however, the sheriff's office is unwilling to consent to. The office felt also that she should not have other prisoners of the jail with her, and decided that it would not be sound to use one of the women pris­oners as a guard, j Mrs. Peterson confessed recently ! to poisoning her son, Kenneth, and her foster daughter, Margaret Bateman, in a general plot to wipe out j the family. The women's quarters at the jail are some distance from the office, and it was felt that she should have a special "jailer" other than the regular officers. Dr. Foster J. Curtis and Dr. Garland H. Pace, psychiatrists, said Sat­urday that their minds were still open as to her mental condition and that they had not arrived at any def­inite conclusion as to her sanity. The probe will continue Sunday, it is expected. JUDGE LENIENT TO DISTRESSED FATHER Bernard Peterson of Murray, who has in the last ten days seen his babe and foster child dead as a re­sult of poison, has learned that his wife has confessed to the poisoning and that the plan included him and their other children as further ob­jectives, and who has had the fur­ther distress of learning that Mrs. Peterson obtained the poison from a man, colored, need not go to jail because he cannot pay a $200 fine. At least Judge N. H. Tanner in­dicated Saturday that he is not go­ing to be in a hurry to commit the unfortunate father. Peterson was fined $200 for violation of the prohi­bition law and given a stay in which to pay it. Thfe stay was up Satur­day. Little was said in court Saturday, but Judge Tanner, who did not ex­actly remit the fine, made it known that he was not going to press its payment just at this time. In the first place, Peterson has not the money, it was said, and, in the sec­ond, he has had enough sorrows without being committed to jail at once, court attaches declared the judge indicated.

First Week in May Belongs to Salt Lake's Boyhood Period Will Be Devoted to Education and Patriotism Organizations of City to Take Charge of Exer­cises and Parades. Sixteen thousand Salt Lake boys, ranging in age from eight to eight­een years, and embracing all boys in the city who are physically able to be in the line of march, will partici­pate in the Loyalty parade, which, on the morning of May 2. will mark the official opening of Boys' week. W. H. Lovesy, chairman of the Boys' week committee, stated Satur­day that all schools .of the city will cooperate during the week, and that from May 2 until May 8, Salt Lake boyhood will reign supreme. School organizations, Boy Scouts, and other groups of boys will appear in the parade. There will be boy bands, an array of pageantry em­phasizing boyhood, and as sixteen thousand youngsters trudge through the streets, an American flag at the head of each unit, Salt Lake citizens will have opportunity to view the foundation upon which the future of the city rests. The first day of Boys' week-May 2, is Loyalty day. The parade will be the outstanding feature. Exer­cises for the day will be conducted under the auspices of Salt Lake lodge No. 85, B. P. O. E. GROUPS TO SEE INDUSTRIES. Industry will be stressed Tuesday, May 3, with the chamber of com­merce directing activities. .Under a tentative plan now being developed, groups of boys, ranging in number from 25 to 50. will be taken from each junior high school, high school and other educational institutions in the city. These groups will be con­ducted by business executives to visit Salt Lake's various industries. Emphasis will be placed upon the necessity of every boy choosing some trade or profession. Boys of these groups, returning to their various schools, will give to boys who re­mained at school an account of their visits to various industrial plants in the city. One of the principal purposes of this plait is to permit boys to visual­ize opportunities in business and pro­fessional life. Entertainment and athletics wj'V make up the program for Wednesday, May 4. Champions will be chosen in every grade of every school in the city. Schools will be grouped, with one as the scene of the day's activity. Contests of various sorts wiM be held at each of the group center?. A sched­ule for the days' program is now being worked out. Boys will par­ticipate in entertainment programs wherever the arrangement of such programs is possible. CIVIC RESPONSIBILITY. Under direction of the American Legion and the Boy Scouts' organi­zation, every bov in Salt Lake will hear talks on Civic Responsibility. This idea will be carried out on Thursday. May 5. A representative of the American Legion, accompa­nied by three Boy Scouts, will visit every Salt Lake school. The Boy Scouts will address bovs at the schools. A radio program, and entertainment of boys who are without homes, or who live in poor environs, will make up the Boys' Evening at Home, on Friday. The Kiwanis and Rotary clubs are sponsoring this day. On Saturday, May 7, scoutmasters, university classes, and volunteers who are capable of handling groups of youngsters, will take parties of boys to the mountains, canyons, and other out-of-door places for a day of nature study. Boys will hear services especially prepared for the occasion, or will conduct services at churches of the city on Sunday, May 8. President Heber J. Grant has authorized the use of the tabernacle Sunday eve- Scottish Lord and Lady Visit City Head of Dewar of Famous Blends Gives Views on U. S. and Prohibition Salt Lake Is now acting as host to members of the British nobility- Lord and Lady Forteviot, who make their home in picturesque Dupplin castle, situated near the town of Perth, ancient capital of the king­dom of Scotland. Lord Foreviot is known to the busi­ness world as chairman of the board of John Dewar & Sons, Ltd., distillers of Perth, who have agencies in all parts of the British empire; in fact, in all parts of the world. He was elevated to the peerage in 1917 by King George V, thus becoming the first Lord Forteviot. Lord and Lady Forteviot arrived in Salt Lake Saturday afternoon on their way to "Bonnie Scotland" after a tour of Australia and the United States. They are accompanied by a maid and valet and are occupying a suite at the Hotel Utah. After sight­seeing trips covering Salt Lake and vicinity, they expect to leave Mon­day for the east and the vessel which will carry them across the Atlantic. "The most impressive aspect of American life to me," said his lord­ship upon arriving in Salt Lake, "is the abundant prosperity of the peo­ple. This is exemplified by the great number of automobiles. Even the la­boring men, I am told, ride to work in their own cars. The American working classes are better off than those of any other country." KEEN ON FARMING. Lord Forteviot, who is hale and active despite his more than three­score and ten years, explained that one of his chief interests now is farm­ing. After many busy years in the industrial and political life of his native Scotland, he at present de­votes a large share of his time to farming on his large Perthshire es­tate. "I am keen about farming," he admitted, "and found much to attract me in California, especially in Santa Rosa, where Luther Burbank worked his miracles in producing new types of plants. Agriculture in America is on a Scientific basis, and things are produced in enormous quantities. I was amazed at the chickens in Petaluma." Lord Forteviot, although one of the peers of a great realm and reputed to be one of the wealthiest men in Scotland, talked willingly on a num­ber of subjects, graciously answering all questions asked him. He typifies the new ideal of democracy which has taken hold of the old British aristoc­racy of late years, even the mem­bers of the royal house. INTERESTING CAREER. His career is full of interest, and includes years of valuable service to the people. A member of The Trib­une editorial staff, then a reporter on the Perthshire Advertiser at Perth, remembers when John A. Dewar was a councilman of the city of Perth. Following that he became successive­ly city treasurer and lord provost, which is equivalent to the office of mayor. Next came seventeen years as a member of the house of com­mons, representing Inverness-shire, nlng, and at a grand assembly which will terminate Boys' week, Dr. Charles R. Barger, H. D. P. C. D., will deliver his famous lecture, couched in language understandable to boyhood, "The Road to Happiness." and, upon his ascension to the peer­age, automatically became a member of the house of lords. His eldest son, John A. Dewar, Jr., is following in the footsteps of his father, already having reached the position of lord provost of Perth. When asked what he thought of prohibition, Lord Forteviot replied: "When I am in the United States I am a teetotaler. I expect to obey the laws, not criticise them. But," he added, "I'll say that it is pretty dangerous to drink some of the stuff they get in this country." BRITISH WORKERS' POSITION. Lord Forteviot believes that condi­tions in' the British Isles are im­proving, although there is still con­siderable unemployment. "The work­ers of Britain were never better off, it is the middle classes that are hit hardest. Great Britain is in much better condition than after the Na­poleonic wars, when the per capita debt was much higher than now," he said. The British, he declares, do not harbor hatred and jealousy for the Americans. They belive it is only fair that war debts, like any other debts, should be met. "There are not many who know that Britain now has just as much money lent out in vari­ous parts of the world as before the war," Lord Forteviot said. The region of Scotland from which Lord Forteviot comes-the place where he was born and reared, and now his bailiwick-is redolent of history and romance. The village of Forte­viot, near Dupplin castle, was the capital of the Picts, who occupied eastern Scotland from 296 to 844 A. D. Perth was capital of the united Scot­land for many years before Edinburgh wjfs made the seat of government. From Scone, ai village in the vicin­ity, came the famous "stone of des­tiny," which, according to legend, formed the pillow of Jacob when he dreamed and saw the angels. On this stone were crowned the Scottish kings, including King Robert the Bruce, and now the stone reposes under the throne in Westminster Ab­bey, upon which all the king's of Brit­ain are crowned. Annulment Asked, Lacking Divorce Suit for annulment of marriage on the ground that while she had be­lieved she was divorced from her first husband several years ago she learned last February 28 that the divorce case was still pending, was filed by Lola L. Renshaw Saturday. She and Horace Renshaw were married at Oakland, Calif., February 28, 1925. Prior to this marriage she had married Arthur O. Larsen in 1917 and a divorce action was pend­ing in November, 1923, she said. She declares that a few months later Larsen showed her what he repre­sented to be a true copy of a decree of divorce, and she did not discover that this wa not the fact until last February, she asserts.

UTAH PLANNING HUGE FIG area Shipment of 20,000 Trees to Washington County Will Arrive on Tuesday. Quantity Sufficient to Plant 200 Acres; First Step in New Movement. Utah's "Dixie," where a fertile soil and the sunshine of a semitropical climate combine to promote the growth of choice fruits, is soon to be­come one of the principal fig-growing regions of the USited States, if the plans of a group of farmers, headed by Horace Stayner, materialize. As the first step in carrying out this plan a shipment of 20,000 fig trees of the "Magnolia" variety is now en route to Cedar City via the Union Pacific railroad, and from there will be taken by truck to Washington county to be distributed among the fruit growers. The trees, two and three feet in height, were raised in Texas by the Japanese Nurseiy com­pany. According to Mr. Stayner, the 20,000 trees will be sufficient to plant ap­proximately 200 acres. At the present time there are less than ten acres of fig trees in the entire state, but from these few acres have come fruit which has won the praise of connoisseurs in all parts of the country. The ship­ment of young trees will reach Salt Lake Monday, and will proceed to their destination Tuesday. PLAN PRESERVING FACTORY. Heitofore fig raising has been rather haphazard, but from now on, according to Mr. Stayner, the growers of the Dixie country will cooperate to promote the growth and distribution of this product. It is the plan to build a preserving factory, perhaps near St. George, within two years, when the trees to be planted this spring will have had a chance to produce. It has been estimated that trees planted now wild, in two years, be producing at the rate of $70 an acre; three years, $125 to $175 an acre, and four .years, $500 to $700 an acre. This means that in four years the 20,000 young trees, which as yet have not had their roots in Utah soil, will be producing new wealth for this state amounting" to approximately $120,000 a year. Further value will be added when a. large part of the fruit is con­verted into fig preserve and shipped to eastern markets. "Washington county, from Hurri­cane to Santa Clara, can produce figs that are the equal if not the superior of any raised in the country, Cali­fornia not excepted," Mr. Stayner says. Six acres of figs can be raised on the water required for one acre of alfalfa, it has been found by the few present raisers of figs. SEE GOOD PROFIT. So far the figs of Washington county have found but a limited mar­ket, but it is believed that as many as the Dixie farmers raise can be marketed at a good profit. Mr. Stay­ner says that Utah figs can be placed in the eastern market in com­petition with any raised in other parts of the country because of their su­perior quality. They are now pre­served in the homes of the people in the region in which they are raised. Figs have been raised in southern Utah for fifty years or more, but their culture has never reached siz­able proportions because of a lack of organized effort among the farmers. Mr. Stayner, who is a resident of Salt Lake, but who has large land holdings in southern Utah, says he has been trying to organize the farmers for a number of years. Not only figs, but other fruits of semtropical nature are raised in Wash­ington county, including pomegranates and English walnuts. Peaches, grapes and other ordinary fruits grow also on Dixie farms. Judd to Seize Autos for Taxes Delinquent personal property taxes on automobiles, some of which data as far back as 1924, must be paid by April 1, to avoid penalty and incon­venience to the owners, it is an­nounced by George T. Judd, county treasurer. The treasurer's office has a large file of delinquent cases. Mr. Judd expects to seize automobiles after the delinquency date has passed.
