SALT LAKE CITY, Utah, April 7.— Utah and Colorado authorities have been asked to ald in the search for W. H. Cutler, member of a wealthy Utah family, who disappeared from his hore about two weeks.ago.

The newspaper, which stands alone in commending the course taken by this ‘country in the exchange of notes between London and Washington, asks Americans if they are “convinced they would have observed similar self-denial in like circumstances.” “We believe,” the newspaper con- tinues, “that Americans have been misled by persons whose aim it is to show discord between the two nations. In view of the facts that Lord Cur- zon, secretary of state for foreign af- receded in his last note, how- ever, it is hardly conceivable that further misunderstanding is possible and the controversy, if it can be thus described, can continue without a suggestion of bitterness.” seaeg Se ic onal PROSECUTION ORDERED UNDER PLUMBING. LAW The first functioning of the new plumbing ordinance which requires that plumbers be licensed and bonded will. be to prosecute a man who made sewer connections which later re- sulted in the damage of!the:property tro which the connection was made. It was stated at the city council meeting last night that A. P. Spies, while connected ‘with the Oil City Plumbing company made a sewer con- |nection in whith he. evaded the or- ders of the city engineer, resulting im heavy damage being done to a property from. which he made the out- let. The owner of the property dam- aged is seeking relief from the city. Authorization to commence action against Mr. Spies was vested in R. M. Boeke, city attorney last night. Informal argument of the question brought the order that Mr, Spies cor- rect the job which is said to be con- nécted wrong and then the city will sue on his bond to recover from the losses sustained when water atc i the pemecneeibs tsi ese DR: SANITARY CONDITIONS ARE BEING.
