TVashlngton, Dec. S. An answer to Sir. Brigham Roberts' "Address to the Amer- i lean People" was issuod today by a dele- tation representing the Gentile element li Utah, who are here to oppose Mr. Jtberts. The answer is as follows: "In this morning's papers Mr. Rob erts .makes an appeal for sympathy In which are many statements needing cor rection, while many of the facts are sup pressed. Mr. Roberts claims that the precedent made toy his exclusion is both new and dangerous. That it is not new was conclusively shown by Mr. Taylor in h.s able legal argument before the house, and iu: a single precedent to the con trjrj was cited where the ground of ob jection was ineligibility. Neither is the rrccaent dangerous. Whenever a prima! cip cisc is made against a member's fIzrrshJp, showing that under a convic- 1 n for felony against the laws of the iri'fi States he is disfranchised and i. .i .it inai oy reason or his present r-ainnance of the status of a polyg mist he is again suffering from civil dis i lty under the Edmunds anti-polygamy J.r t, such a member refusing even to deny a charge, should be excluded. Nor is Is J mgerous, for it is not likely, as Mr. It v rts seemed to assume, that an entire minority or all representatives of a large ate are coming to congress carrying ih a burden. In other states men who 'iUnt their violations of these laws of i rnty in the face of the public arc "t t the penitentiary. It is on'y in I fih where such indecency ever added to s eligibility and served as a recom- n- .1j.ioii to political preferment. Mr. Roberts' contention that no evi- d n of his guilt can ibe received, except jauiai record of his conviction in T ah, as a matter of law is erroneous and z a matter of practice dangerous, be- c i e ivir. jHxtfye&s and his aUaprggjiU ii-iuiu inesinoo(i can prevent such c n.ction if they consider it worth t. M- Roberts claims that, whatever tv- 'ii., civil disabilities befoer tate h d they were removed by the adop ti n f the atate constitution. If at the ti t of the passage of the enabling act -I- Riberts was, as he seems in Jils rprH to admit, disfranchised by act of -,r v.- and therefore not a full citizen ho United -States as by the const! tu- i i must toe to become a member of i P-. ss then he is still in the same con- i- l, because the constitution of Utah 1 not restore to him federal eitizen- h'n and the enabling act did not do it. Tli enabling act of Utah, unlike that of ire nther states, Required citizenship of I'm ed States as a qualification of v r g and did not confer that citizenship T n those then such citizens. Hence Mr. RiiKrt' statement that by Utah be- mirg a state he was rehabilitated with t c wanting attributes of citizenship is v. irranted. Mr Kooerts says he has not been con--v 1 since statehood. It does not fol 1 w tl.it he is innocent He is now n f z tiv. from justice In Salt Lake county c i i li trge of unlawful cohabitation and ii IVua county, Utah, where resides one i bib iiolygamous wives, with her Ille- Im ite twins, born August 11, 1S97, a v i'ge of adultery a felony under the of Utah) lias been for two months r mholed by a Mormon prosecuting at t t-j. Al'- Roberts In his attempt to belittle I s vriniPi Insists that he is only charged v. 2. j. misdemeanor. He knows better. H knows that, he has Wen. under oath a- i i f re the proper prosecuting ollicers, i U'J with the feionj of adultery as v i;, the misdemeanor of unlawful co I if i 'ii He asserts that in 1SS9 he i d mnlty of a misdemeanor only and -u sii that if he were guilty of the .me aits in the District of Columoia, cn flagrantly so that, as a member congress, lie could not toe arreMed r.'fir, because it is only a misde r r. Here again Air. Roberts states it is not true and lie ought to know Ui 'awful cohabitation under the Ed--. vis irt, under which he pleaded i j, was a flony, as also is aduitery. i v.hKh Mr. Roberts is charged in -j5 county, Utah In tlw District of V um'na both unlawful cohabitation and a Mti ry are elories. as defined by the U.i statutes, and it is only in Utah that '.i-raer is a misdemeanor. ijc.-e charges, in view of the Edmunds jJdmunds-Tucker laws of the United '-till in force, warrant Mr. Rob- oliision. They are aggravated, i ltecauise his ie not an isolated one representative of a system. sentimental people are being Mr. Roberts' very ingenious i-, from which some people m- it he took his polygamous wives v i it wa lawful to do so. This Is Ke. Adultery was a crime in when Mr Roberts was born, and time of the passage of the Cullora i:gamy act, Mr. Roberts was only sx Mars old. His plea for sympathy, ti fore, amounts only to this, that he s.j ijld in? allowed to continue his orimi r C acts notwithstanding he took his po mous wives in defiance of law. "We !iTid that 'be should support his fam I T.nt also demand that he shall he begetting of further illegitimate and this is our onlv bone of con- 1 the only tatag demanded which -es to yield. In this matter -e m ajijdjaftipe-itQJijfcv Bei?SB5aiiaS!nlnP& the laws of our state, of the United States, and of common decency. "ExCongressman "W. H. King was and Is a Mormon, and no claim of ineligibil ity was ever made against him. We point to this fact as showing that we oppose Mr. Roberts not upon the ground of any religious opinions entertained by him, but 'because of his criminal practices. Neither is this a matter of religious or political persecution or prejudice. The under signed include men of different churches and men who belong to no church, those who are Republicans and those who are Democrats. "Mr. Roberts denies, and wo assert, that the compact between Utah and the other states has Deen violated. That compact was evidenced by many public acts as follows: "First By the manifesto of the Mor mon church In 1S90, which by their lead ing men was interpreted under oath to prohibit the continuance of polygamous relations as well as the contracting of new marriages. "Second By the Utah legislature, which In 1892 made unlawful cohabitation as well as polygamy crimes against the territory. "Third By the solemn pledge of the apostles of this alleged church that these laws would be obeyed and enforced, which pledge was made in a petition to the president praying for a general am nesty proclamation. "Fourth By the declaration made by prominent citizens of Utah before the congressional committee having the en abling act under consideration, where also the foregoing evidences and statements were used to secure statehood. "Fifth By the declaration In the con stitution of Utah that polygamous mar riages shall be forever prohibited. "Sixth The act of the constitutional convention continuing in force the terri torial laws punishing unlawful cohabita tion as well as polygamy, of which Mr. Roberts was a member. "All these public acts combined show conclusively that the compact Includes the discontinuance of old polygamous re-J lations as wen as tne prevention or new ones. "As evidence that this compact has been broken we point to the following: "First That in Utah 1,600 Illegitimate children hae been born to polygamous wives since statehood. "Second That about 2,000 polygamous households now exist In Utah and that the attempt to secure a punishment of these offenders is denounced by the ma jority, as we believe, of Utah's citizens. "Third That the circumstantial evi dence unmistakably points to the exist ence of new wives in polygamous house holds, the most conspicuous examples of which are the case of Apostle Abraham H. Cannon, John W. Taylor and Apostle Tuesdale, In at least the first of which the church organ of the dominant church refused to deny the marriage and the new polygamous wife is employed as teacher in a church academy. "Fourth That the very men who inter preted the manifesto of ISM to prohibit unlawful Cohabitation with prior acquired wives now publicly justify its continu ance. "Fifth That most of the same men who toj-JBtPe&SlPr' for amnesty pledged their sacred honor for the obedience of the law by their people are now by example and precept encouraging to commission of the crime of unlawful cohabitation. "Sixth As a further evidence of this bad faith we call attention to the fact that the men holding high church oiiices have pleaded guilty to the crime of un lawful cohabitation before the state courts without having their church standing af fecteJ, oven in some cases having their lines paid fry sympathetic friends. "Seventh All this is, by necessary im plication, indorsed by a majority of Utah's people, in the election of Brigham II. Roberts, who during his campaign for election was publicly charged with boing a violator of tho laws, as evidenced by his illegitimate progeny, and in spite of these undenled charges he was elected by an overwhelming majority. "That Mr. Roberts himself understood that compact to mean the discontinuance of unlawful cohabitation, we point to his registration oath of 1S95, In which he swort it to bo his intention to obey the law prohibiting unlawful cohabitation.

ELECTION BOARD DECIDES Preparations for Inauguration A Minority Report, Frankfort, Ky Dec. 8. The state board of elections tonight gave out their offi cial findings that W. S. Taylor, for gov ernor, and the' rest of the Republican ticket have been elected on the face "of the returns. Commissioners Ellis and "Pryor signed the majority report, in which they held that, as a board of can vassers, they have no right to go behind the returns of the county boards; that their duties are purely ministerial as canvassers, and that the face of the re turns as received by them from the coun ties show the election of the Republican state ticket. Accordingly, the report says, certificates of election were ordered is sued to each candidate thereon. Commis sioner Poyntz presents a minority report which he closes "by saying: "I am unwill ing to certify fraud and to turn Ken tucky over to control of the bayonet, Gatllng gun and fraudulent tissue bal lots." Extensive preparations are being made to inaugurate Taylor next Tuesday. Frankfort, Ky., Dec. 8. All pretense of a fight for the certificate of election as governor has been given up by the Goebel people and whether a contest will be made in tho legislature is really yet to be determined. It will depend very largely upon the wording of tSie opinion, which Commissioners Ellis and Pryor will hand down at 10 o'clock tomorrow morning. If it implies that the commissioners believo (fraud was committed -which anight in validate the election, did they as a can vassing beard have the legal right to go (behind the scenes rdlup uapupu awyq behind the certified returns, it is almost certain a contest will be made. Other wise it is uncertain. The Democratic candidates for the minor offices on the state ticket, acting on the lieHef that the commissioners' opinion will contain implications of fraud, have already decided to fight before the R,tate contesting board for the positions to which they believe themselves entitled. They held several conferences during the day, but it was not definitely determined until 3 o'clock In the afternoon to make the contest. Commissioners Ellis and Pryor were busy all day writing their j opinion and it was dark before Mr. Ellis, who did most of the writing, had finished hjfitask. The politicians of "both parties departed from Frankfort in groat numbers during the day and tho town tonight is practi cally deserted. There has been a great amount of money bet on the olection throughout Kentucky as to wno would be tho next governor of the state and the bettors are Irving to decide -whether, if Taylor is declared governor and later ousted by the legislature as not being a legal incum bent, he was In fact actually governor at all in the eyes of the law. The Taylor "bettors construe it one way and naturally the Goobel men figure it out differently. There has been so much money wagered on the outcome that the thing really has a serious side to it. at ii an .-r ONE WHO IS NEXT TO ROBERTS Kvcrlastinjrl.V KnockH tho Stuffing; Out of His "Appeal.' Salt Lake, Utah, Doc. S. In reply to ho appeal to the American people issued toy Brigham II. Roberts yesterday, the Tribune of this city today prints tho fol lowing editorial: "B. II. Roberts' appeal ito the country adds nothing to the merits of his case. He is evidently seeking to awken a belief that it is a partisan war fare that is being made upon him and that it was a Republican majority that met him at the threshold of the house and declined, without an investigatt-n. to accept his ticket of admission. In his disappointment he directly charges the members of the house of representatives wHh cowardice, as betraying their trut and violating their oaths, -being cowed by popular cJnnuxv Ills ptea for the good faith of the state In the matter of polygfuny Is a dishonest plea, a mere juggle with words; his declarations in this matter are toeHed by abundant proofs. His affected sorrow lest other states may to deprived of their represen tation on the precedent in his case is tMlderda&h. Of the sante order Is his affectation that the action taken against him has een without cause. But the most indecent play ho makes is where be pretends to believe that be Is excluded because he is a Mormon, wben no one knows better than he that his predecessor"! was a Mormon in quite as good standing in the church as himself, al not a whis per was raised against him. And when Mr. Roberts pledges his honor to the denial of things that are weH known and inevitably arise from fce circumstances and facts inolvd in his election, so much the worse or his honor." WEEK FOR FINANCIAL DEBATE Vote on Holiday. December IS Flynn Jnti'sducesalfomctcad Bill. Washington, Dec. S. The houe today adopted a special order for the consider ation of the currency bill beginning next Monday. The general debate will con tinue until Friday. On Saturday all amendments may be offered under the five-minute rule and on the following Monday the vote will be taken. The Democrats, Populists and Silventes pre sented a solid front aguinst the adoption of the resolution and every Republican voted for it. Mr. Roberts, the Mormon representative-elect from Utah, was not In the hall when the house convened today. It was agreed immediately after the reading of the journal, that when the house ad journed today, it be to meet on Monday. Mr. Dalzell (Pa.), from the committee on rules, then presented the amendments to the rules agreed upon by the commit tee for the creation of a committee on Insular affairs to consist of IT members to have jurisdiction "over all matters. excepting tnose auectsng the revenues and the appropriations, nertainlns to th i islands which came to the United States D,ar Mnfit 'or human habitation." Alle throngh the treaty of 1S&3 with Snam. and I Stlon is made that one prisoner became In arms against It. He considered the rule unjust to the minority. Butane day was to -be given the minority to study the, bill, while the members of 0ie ma jority had six months in which, to pre pare themselves. Mr. Richardson, taunt ed the majority for their sudden change of base. Mr. Bailey (Texas), declared that, the proposed course of the majority was without precedent or defense. He made an elaborate argument to prove that it was a proposition to hastily determine a question to which the .best and most careful consideration should be given. The minority was entitled to present its ob jections after mature deliberation In or der that at the proper time the appeal could be taken from the American con gress to that tribunal, the American peo ple. Furthermore, the special order de nied the right of the minority to re-commit ,a privilege hitherto never denied the minority. Mr. Grosvenor (Ohio), in support of the rule, argued that it could not be justly eaid that it would unduly curtail debate and consideration. As to the charge that members of the majority would find it difficult to explain their change of front. he said it was one of the proud boasts of the Republican party that it was wiser now than it was a good many years ago. "The Democratic party," said he, "was the only well recognized demonstration of a great organization which had sur vived a long period without learning anything." "The past of the Republican party," said he, "is behind it, of its present it Is proud, and its future is assured. Can the gentleman from Tennessee say as much?" "Was the future of this bill assured until after the caucus had been held?" asked Mr. Richardson amid Democratic applause. "There never was a caucus in this house," replied Mr. Grosvenor, "which came together with such unanimity of purpose as that which endorsed this bill." (Republican applause). Mr. Cannon of Illinois, In response to the thrust of Mr. Richardson, frankly said that he had voted for free coinage of silver in 1ST8 but he had done so be cause of the impending resumption of specie payments when the Democratic party was howling for fiat money. But specie payments had been resumed -without disaster, despite the Democratic howls. Since then the country had been on the gold standard. Mr. Dalzell closed the debate by recalling some of the rules under which the Democrats had forced through important bills In the Fifty-second and Fifty-third congresses. He re ferred particularly to the adoption of the conference report in the Fifty-second con gress upon the tariff bill which "the greatest Democrat since Andrew'jJa'ckson. Grover Cleveland, (derisive laughter on the Democratic side), had pronounced a piece of party perfidy and dishonor." He described this procedure as a "rape of all precedents," and cited other cases where he said "gag rule" had been employed. Mr. Richardson attempted to reply to 'these statements, but Mr. Dalzell refused to yield and the special order was adopt ed, 163-to 114, a strict party vote, Mr. Robertson (La.), then announced the death of th late .Representative S. G. Baird of Louisiana, and after the adoption of the customary resolutions, at 1:30 p. m., as a further mark of respect, the house adjourned until Monday. Representative Kitt of Illinois today introduced a bill to provide a territorial form of ffovernment for Hawaii It is similar to the measure reported to the house last year, providing for a terri torial governor appointed by the presi dent and a legislature of two housoq. Mr. Sherman of New York introduced a bill authorizing the postmaster, general to contract with an Ameifcan cable com pany to send official messages to Hawaii, the Philippines. Japan and China. for twenty years, at not to exceed JlOO.lOO a year. Mr. Flynn of Oklahoma introduced a bill for additional homestead lands to those who participated in the war with Spain or with the Philippines. A bill by Mr. McRea of Arkansas would extend the contract labor laws to Hawaii. Representative Lentz of Ohio today in troduced a joint resolution reciting tho charges growing out of the presence of the United States troops under Brigadier General Merriam at the centers of min ing troubles In Idaho and asking for an investigation by a special committee of nine members to be apaintetd bv the speaker. The resolution says that it i a matter of general information that United States troops were sent to Idaho in defiance of and contrary to the federal constitution, at the individual request of the governor, when no riot or insurrec tion existed, andT without consulting the legislature or the local sheriff. It is as serted that General Merriam declared martial law and "arbitrarily and with out warrant o' law. arrested hundreds of citizens," and held them under "most brutal and tyrannic conditions." The arrests, it is cl-arged, included many members of the miners union and the local sheriff. It Is assorted that many men were imprisoned In a "bull oen. a BULLETIN OF 8fif McpBTmfir Skk Wichita.

The Times has the following from Modder River, dated Tues day, December 5: "The river Is low and the railway bridge is rapidly approaching completion. The first train will cross to night. After extraordinary exertions the pontoon bridge has been completed." Frere Camp, Dec. S. The trestle 'bridge Is finished and the trains are now travers ing it. London, Dec. 9. (4:50 a. m.) Lord Methuen's restoration of the railway, while relieving a load of anxiety here, accentuates the dangers still threatening his force. It is gathered from the forlef official dispatch that Commandant Prins Loos' contingent was taken -between forces acting from Belmont and south ward from Modder River. It is quite possible, however, that reinforcements were sent to Belmont merely as a pre cautionary measure. There is little other news of Importance. Reports continue to come from Ladysmlth that dlssensjon ex ists among the Boers, and especially that the Orange Free State troops are dis contented. There are all kinds of rumors of movements of commandoes from place to place, but the fact is that little Is known here regarding the actual position of the Boer forces. Moreover, the rumors of a collapse of Boer spirit have been heard so often as not to cause much satisfaction now. London, Dec 9. General Forestler Walker has sent the following dispatch, dated at 9 o'clock last (Friday) evening, to the war office from Cape Town: "Tele graph and railway communication to Modder River has been re-opened. A fbattery of Held artillery and a battalion of infantry were dlTatched from Modder River against Commandant Prlns Loos' force of 1,000 Boers, with one gun, who had destroyed the railway. Our losses were fourteen In wounded. Belmont has been strengthened by Infantry and two guns, and a cavalry regiment and troops from Naauwpoort occupied Arundel Thursday." The enemy's forces near. General Gat acre are roportcd as follows: At Dord recht, 800; marching from Jamestown to Dordrecht, 700,- with six guns; at Storm berg, 1,500; at Waterfall, a large force; strength a:nder Molteno, about 400. Lord Methuen reports casualties Decetn 1or 6, on patrol duty as follows: "Miss ing, Lieutenant Trlestam and four men of the T-nelfth Lancers; wounded, four men." MTTHUEN HAS HIS HAXBS FULL Some Interesting light is thrown on the position of affairs along the western fron tier by a dispatch Issued by a Boer agency last evening in Berlin. The dispatch says: "Commandant Prins Loo' force is near Jaotfbsdal, between Modder River and Riet River. General Cronje is still on the north bank of Modder River, his rear being (protected (by fortified positions at Spytfontein. Tho hills between Modder River and Spytfontein and Vhose "between Jacobsdal and Riet River are occupied by Boers. Commandant De Larey's fdVce is stationed between Gras Pan and Honey Nest Kloof." If this Berlin dispatch be correct and it is especially significant when judged In connection with General Forestier Walker's advices to the war office thvre must be some 15,000 Boers around Lord Methuen. who is believed to have 11,000 men. Klmberley. however, possessing armored train, can materially assist Me thuen by harrassing the Boers from the rear. MODDER RIVER THE FIEKCKST According to a special disnatch from Lcurenzo Maraues,, the Modder River battle is described by a Boer correspon dent with General Cronje as "one of the fiercest the Boers ever experienced." The correepondent gees on to say: "General Cronje's wing sustained almost solely the fearful attack of the British rleht throughout the day. The Transvaalerz tenaciously held their positions until 7 in the svenin?, when the Free State burghers were forced to retire by the bpevy British shell fire. General Cronje then retired under cover of darkness, af ter facing the concentrated Are of all the British batteries. The Bors freely acknowledge the herculean assaults of the British and the death-dispensing fire of the attacking Infantry, but they held their position for thirteen hours against the flower of the British army solely with the Mausers and malntaininir an un interrupted rifle fire The Bow artillery was silenced early In the battle through the overwhelming number of the British artillery."

S Senator Sidney Clarke of Oklahoma City was in Guthrie last night and announced that he would ave' for Washington shortly to lobby for the passage of the Oklahoma state hpod bHI. Concerning a proposed amend ment to the bill introduced in congress by Delegate Flynn this week Senator Clarke said: "The statehood committee -have advised, and Flynn will Insert a clause in 1ihe bill, granting to the state 1,500,000 acres for the establishment of permanent water reservoirs for irriga tion and other purposes. This grant, -which in my judgment would be of tran scendent importance to the development of the western portion of Oklahoma, was inserted without objection in the bill re ferred to in the Fifty-fourth congress and I shall do my best to see that it meets with equal favor in the present congress. In view of the urgont necessity for irri gation in Beaver county, wSiere there are now, more than 3,000,003 acres of public 4andTot yet settled and the vacant lands adjacent to the Texas Panhandle, I think 3Jr. Flynn would be justified on insisting that an extra 1,000,000 acres bo granted for irrigation purposes. Congress in the Swst, has geenrally shown great liberality In assisting new states by grants of pub lic lands. The matter of irrigation of the semi-arid lands is now well under stood by our public men and by the gen eral public, and it is of the utmost iai iwwtatnce that the statehood Mil be passed fcefore the lands we can now get are disposed of in other directions. Two smerrfbers o congress apt provided for and it is possible tJha'ithc federal cen sus to be taken next year will give us three members." TOM DOYLE WILL HELP FLYNN And W ;Kc tr IIih Own I'xpcnses IV hi to Ilelp.nsr-CIarke Gets a Etoa,t Guthrie, O. T., Dec. 8. Tom Doyle's .rtends say he will go to Washington to -Jhelp lobby for statehood, and will not .charge a cent. The Newkirk Democrat says: "Colonel Tom Doyle will go to Washington during this session of con gress and will aid Dennis Flynn in se .curinsr free homes and statehood for the people of Oklahoma. Colonel Doyle, jwith "his usual characteristic generosity, idoes not ask the people of Oklahoma to jpay his 'naked personal expenses," as does Sid Clark, the political barnacle. but will go into his pocket and defray his own expenses. This kind of loyalty to the territory is appreciated by all and no one doubts that Colonel Doyle will be of great assistance as a lobbyist in se curing legislation. Perry should be iProud of such a citizen as Colonel Tom 'lloyle." STREET CAR ORDINANCE VETOED TSlnyor Bcrkey of Guthrie Draiv.s the lA'iv at Jliilc Car. Guthrie. O. T., Dec. S. Mayor Bcrkey of this cttj, has vetoed an ordinance giving Mrs. A. C. Beckwith a street car jfranchige. The mayor objects to mule cars, thinks the time limit for comple IsJon is too long:, and the guarantee de .postt, ffiOO. too small, lie says on the (invule proposition: "I am in hearty sym pathy with the wish and purpose cf the V,uncil to have an up-to-date line of street railway located in the city of Guthrie, and I would be glad to give my approval fto an ordinance which I could feel sure would promptly furnish street railway KicconuTiodations to the people of our oity. I feel, however, that an ordinance so Important and far-reaching as one upon the subject at hand should by care tful and proper restriction guard every interest of the city and should be granted c-tftely Aw the purpose of enabling capi rtal to immediately enter upon such an enterprise and erect a street railway, and hoold not fee granted with any protisions bat will permit delay, and permit the Kranteo of the franchise to speculate -.hereon, as I feel this ordinance does. The tflrst obnoxious priilege granted in thi ordinance is in effect to permit the oars thereon to be propelled by horse or nutJe power for at least one year's time, a thing which, if permitted, would almost cause the citizens of Guthrie to mob the mayor and council for such an act. The iMMpie of Omhrfe and every cithten and -jeraon Interested in it, would feel out raced at seeii a Iiue of street railway in our city, operated by horses and mules nnd such a street ear line would be a pos itive and everlasting detriment to the cj and thi ordinance permits that."

T., Dec. 8 Tho county com. missioncrs of Noblo tounty have given notice that on December 18 they will ask the district court to determine their ap plication to issue judgment funding bonds In the sum of $2S,000 for the funding and settlement of an indebtedness outstand ing against the county. The Perry En terprise says: "The board of county commissioners! have decided to issue judg ment bonds In lieu of the judgments now standing against tho county in the simn of $28,000, unless a proper showing is made before the district court why said bonds should not be issued. This is right and proper and will "fully settle the question of the county's intention not to repudiate any of her legitimate indebtedness. It will further "result in raising the prico of warrants to almost par, until such time as tho county will be able to do business on a cash basis, which it Is thought will be the case early in the coming year." c3 a. s -2.- w iE. is a. a: j tho s?

Roal v.f city P1D1IP DTO Hill Flirt Cooks Likely to Give Molineux Great Trouble. STATE HAD THE BEST OF IT In Yesterday's Trial Proeeed-ings--The Second Day, New York, Dec. S. Several interesting points developed today ln oennection with the trial of Roland B. Molineux for ihe murder of ilrs. Katherine J. Adams. .rirst there was the cauture of an im portant witness for the prosecution. This was Mamie Mullands, the young woman who cared for Mollneux's rooms at New ark. Through a ruse on the part of de tectives she was induced to cross the stato line from New Jersey to Sufferin, N. Y., and when mce within the juris diction of the New York authorities she was placed under arrest arid brought to New York City. It is said that she will be placed on the stand by the state and compelled to tostfy that Molineux was accustomed to use- the now-famous blue paper surmounted by three Interlaced crescents. This same paper made its appearance L jn the case later ln the day en Grge "William Hall, of Sloodus. Conn., was called for the purpose of testifying con cerning a letter which fell Into the pos session of his employer. Professor Fow ler. The witness said that James Burns of Detroit, Mich., sold a great many let ters to Professor Fowler, who deals in medical remedies, that the signature "Roland B. Molineux" was noticed and the New York authorities were notified of the find. The defense admitted the identity of this letter as having: been written by the defendant. This is con sidered an important point, owing to the fact that it was written upon blue paper with the crescents, and the defense has acknowledged the writing of it. The legal battles today raged round tho question of expert testimony and the ad missibility of handwriting: when "not disputed." Attorney Weeks, fought bravely for his client, but in tho end tho prosecution triumphed, the recorder say ing that the court would be forced to consider the exhibits as beintr in the handwriting of the defendant unless the testimony of the witness, Expert Kins ley, should be impeached or contradicted b j'the defense in some manner. Ie seemed to be a day of victories for the prosecution, for the snecimens of handwriting written by Molineux before his arrest and at the time that Cornish was under suspicion, were admitted; also the diagnosis blank of a patent medicine concern with the blanks filled out in handwriting aid to be the same as that of other letters in evidence and signed "H. C. Barnet." and in the face of strenuous objections, Expert Kinsley was permitted to testify that, in his opinion, Molineux wrote the address on the poison package sent to Harry Corn ish. Of the second day's prcceedings In the Molineux trial the New York Journal says: It was at the afternoon session of court that the thing happened. Dr. Edwin E. Hitchcock, who hal told it length, during the morning hous, of his huiried summons to the Adams flar, and his futile efforts to revive the woman stricken by poison, had wavered and been led hither and thither by Mr. "Weeks In an uneventful cross-cxeamlnation, and at last, with a parting fillip to his testimony on the part of the Assistant District At torney, had sone smiling from the wit ness stand. The first requirement of proceedure had been complied with. The corpus delicti the body of the crime had been proven. In fulfilment of the assurance he had given tb Mollneux's counsel on the pre ceeding day. that he would proceed forth with t othe introduction of his medical testimony. Mr. Osborne cried the name of Dr. "Wendel Phillips, who was a mem- agS5SZfflgirejtfHJJJU,,.ww.lvvi&-'- "I Had a very severe sickness tliat took off all my liair.

The doctor, bland and well fe,d, was waiting beside the witness chair, when Osborne, motioning to him totep aside, called in a louder tone, "Frank C. McLauzhlin!" Counse and experts of the defence looked at each other ln auestldn marks. Molineux himself would not turn his head, but cast a wondering look at the end of the long alley behind tthe screen, where the witnesses emerge to take their sat in the chair. Frank C. McLaughlin was a now name to them, and It had a police flavor which was suggestive of anything but medical testimony. The man who answered to it had no mark of Mulberry street about him. He looked more ll'-ie a priest attired in lay man's dress. Smooth shaven, self con trolled, with clear, intelligent eyes and a thin lipped, determined mouth; he bowed stifilyt o the Court and sat motionless while Osborne, fishln? and fumbling among his papers, dragged out a worn and dishevdlled letter, typewritten, as everybody cbuld see, upon a letter head which was familiar to nobody who caught sight ofl t. Most of the documents which had been brought to light in the progress of the case, from the beginning, have become known to the newspaper men sufficicntly to be recognized in a general way at sight. Nobody knew this letter. No body knew McLaughlin. Brandishing the letter In his hand, drawing his trusty in dex finger on the other, the prosecueor bpgan. The witness said that he lived in De troit, Mich., and was connected with the firm of Frederick Stearns Co., manu factures pharmacists. Bartow Weeks, flame faced, started to rise as Osborne put the next auestion. Mollneux'3 Jaw fell in amazement. He stared at the wltnes with staring eye. Consternation was apparent, all uo and down the row of figures back of the de fence's long table. "Did your firm ever have ln Its employ a man named Harpster A. A. Harp ster? "Weeks sprang to his feet with a sten torian T object!" The answer was out before his protest, and tho jury heard: "Yes, four or five years ago." "I object to the introduction of this tes timony at this time. It Is In direct vio lation of what the District Attorney told me he would do." "Never mind," shouted Osborne. "I have proven the crime. I can Introduce the testimony now if I want to Then, noting the hand of Goff uplifted 1 to Impose anlence, he donned his courtier air and voice, craved the Court s par don and told how Mr. McLaughlin had come voluntarily and wanted to return to his business, it being the holiday time. No one stopped then to think that the j trade of manufacturing pharmacist would l scarcely be swelled by the advent of Christmas. "Mr Stenographer," said the Recorder, "you will not take notes of what couneI UDon either side may say after I have given my ruling. Go on with the exam ination "So," continued Mr. Osborne, and he .was discharged'" j "I think he was." Thrusting the letter forward, the Pros- I ecutor aid: "Here is a letter which I will have marked for identification. "Was this letter received by your firm, and when?" "Tt was," said the witness, "on Octob er 21 1 Turning to the table. Osborne picked up a great heet of card board. On it was 1 pasted the orisdnal Harpter letter, writ ten by the bogus H.

"I cannot &ry well cross-examine until the papers are properly in evidence instead of mere ly marked for identification." Osborne sprangn to his feet, his eyes flashing. "I think," he cried, sarcast ically, "that I can satisfy Mr. Weeks's desired on that point." The Recorder soothed Mr. Weeks with a promise that if McLaughlin could not be gotten here for cross-examination at another time his evidence might all be dismissed from consideration. Mollfled, in a measure, Mollneux's law yer sat down. Just then Osborne called out: "Rudolph Heiles!" Molineux straightened up ras if stung. A low statured, low-browed man, dark, with heavy eyebrows, a bristling, black mus tache and the dark pallid complexion which is common in a certain class of the peasantry of middle Europe, had sip ped out from behind of long screen and slipped into the witness chair. His head sand far down into the collar of his blue Chinchilla overcoat: he stared stolidly at Molineux, whose pallid face had at last gone red, and whose contracted eyes and lips told of the wrath that was pent up in his soul toward this fellow, who had come with a declaration of flendshlp, to "help swear his life away. "I object to the Introduction of this tes timony at this time!" cried Weeks, but Osborne drowned him out with the ques tion: "Where do you live?" "N. 35 Beach street, Newark." Again the -objection. Osborne turned with a leer of triumph at the prisoner, gauging with his eye meanwhile the di rection of the line of vision between 3Iol ineux and the witness. "Your objection," said the Recorder in his softest voice, smiling benignly at Weeks. "comes from the knowledge which I have noL Until I know what this witness is going to testify to I can not decide that his evidence Is inadmis sible." It was a home thrust, and Osborne smiled a sneering smile as Weeks took his seat again. Heils said he had lived in Newark three years and worked for Seidenberg Stle bel. "Did you ever work for the Knicker bocker Athletic Club, and. If so, when?" "Two years ago. I knew Molineux then." Weeks chimed In with his "same objec tion," like a false echo, to every question that came from the Prosecutor's lips, and Recorder Goff murmured a counter point, "same ruling," scarce audible amid the fuss and low exclamations of surprise that burdened tho air of the court room. "When he was a member of tho Board of Governors?" "No. I was cashier at the -time, and I knew Harpster. He was a c!er. We were together there for a year and a half Harpster and Molineux were there when I left. Yes, I was a friend of Mollnux." "Andyou are a friend of Molineux now?" Helle's "Yes" was prompt. Molineux, his face showing mora and more plainly at every word the passim that consumed him. snfffel at this out sookon declaration. Did you ever see Molineux at the New York Athletic Club' "Yes, I came there to see him in Octob er, 1S9S. Ho was on the Board of Direct ors, and I wanted to get him to give me the club's meat order, for the firm of Belnecke Co." This carrying of the war Into the New York Athletic Club, of which he was a pillar and former president, touched Mr. Weeks. His "object" took on a new vig or, and Recorder Goff interrupted the uestioning to ask the purpose of It. "The chief purpose is to get the testimony of Mr. McLaughlin In evidence before he" goes away, for he has got to go. Of course, Your Honor. Mr. Weeks does not want me to get this testimony in. He knows that it is important, trnnscendent ly Important, to the case of the people." "How long can Mr. McLaughlin stay here?" "He wants to return Immediately, sir." "The reason I ask," said the Recorder and then as he paused a silence fell up on the court room "Is that one of the Jurors one of the Jurors has sent me word that one of his immediate kin has just died, and aks that an adjournment be taken until tomorrow." Osborne was fuming, his face as red as that of a man In a fever. "Willingly." ho cried; willingly! But, I Jmplore Your Honor, do let me finish with this wit ness." He stood looking at the Court ln plead ing fashion, with a great handful of type written manuscript stretched out toward Heiles, who looked on unperturbed. Weeks, realizing tho need of a hard on set, and in hope that with the Juror's bereavement as a lever, he might move the Recorder to Immediate adjournment, and gain time upon Heils until tomor row, launched Into a violent speech. "The District Attorney urged." he shouted, "that this witness McLaughlin cannot be forced lo come here again, but he can be detained. Your Honor "No. I will not detain hlrn." said the Court, in a voice like a benediction. "And as for the expenses to the State." continued the lndefatiguable Weeks, "I will pay them out of my own pocket." Osborne broke forth again Impetuously "Anything, anything." Your Honor, if only they can keep the one question from being answered." "Will the Court let me ask the wit ness if he cannot Teroain over" "No," said the Recorder. The fight was over. Molineux had lost It. Weeks re sumed hi seat sullenly. The prisoner, forgetful of all around him. leaned over and stared with terrible concentration at Osborne, as be throat out to Heiles the big white letter-ebeet, the typewritten letter, which McLaoghRn had Identified as received by Stearns Co., oa theSlst of October.

Mrs. Hunnicutt was once Miss Lucy Crow, known in Green Castle and over Putnam county, Ind., as an unusu ally handeome grri. whose beauty of face was not more resnarkafMe than her bnl Jiamt intellectual qualities. Her accom plishments in music, language and polite acquirements in general were extraordi nary and entitled her to leadership in the beat social circles in the unpretentious, but exclusive college town of Creencastle, a distinction which she enjoyed until she married and came west.

McKinley of Champagne, Illinois, Edward "Woodman and Geo. F. Duncan of Portland, Maine, the gentlemen con nected with the resorted new street car deal, arrived in "Wichita last nirht to look over the lines and the city gener ally. Mr. "Woodman, speaking for the party, said, when questioned by a reporter for the Easle: "We came here of course with the in tention of taking hold of the Wichita street railway matter, but we shall want a new franchise both for the street rail way and lighting. "What we propose to do is to buy the old company's inter ests and get a new contract with the city. "We wanted to see the city, the street railway and also to see what the council is willing to do." The men were not inclined to talk much about the matter. They said they had not looked around, had just came into the city and couldn't tell what they would do in the way of repairs until they looked over the situation. Mr. Woodman and Mr. Duncan wiU probably return to Portland tomorrow. Mr. McKinley will remain for the coun cil meeting Monday night. They were in consultation with Mr. Color Sim at the Carey last night. Mr. Sim, who rep resents the Batchelder syndicate, has been working faithfully to get matters adjusted between the city and the old company and bring about a condition that would allow a repair of the street car service In this city. He and Mr. McKinley are old friends, having grown up as boys together ln Champaign, Illi nois, where Mr. McKinley manages a street railway for the gentlemen who are now here. The company also owns and operates systems in Urbana, Jollet and Q'uincy, and the excellent service and success of these systems, of which Mr. Sim was acquainted, induced him to con sider with favor the proposition to dis pose of the system here to the same men.

Patterson, the expert account ant who discovered the big shortage in the Doran account, has been on the wit ness stand three days during the trial of the suit in the district court, and so far I his figures stand without question, al though he has been severely cross-questioned by the attorneys for the defen dant. The cross-questioning of Patterson is very arduous work for all concerned, and It is likely that he will be kept on the 'Stand for several days yet, as ud to adjournment time last night not half of the books kept by Doran had been gone throush. The bailiff is about the hardest worked man in this suit. He is compelled to carry the large volumes into the court room and lug them around from one place to another. When he came in with an armful of notes and reports which Mr. Patterson had made, all that the bailiff could possibly carry, tho Judge and attorneys laughed. Par '-ad's pa pers are piled ln great heaps on the floor back of the wttness chair, while on the attorneys' table the large volumes of treasurer's books were piled higher than the attorneys' heads. The trial of this case will occuoy so much time that Judge Dale yesterday j had the reeular panel of September j jurors notified that they need not report again for this term. After the trial of j the Doran case the rest of the term will i be occupied with court business for which a jury is not needed. The regular jury has done very little durinsr the Sep tember term, for the reason that nearly every case has had to have a special venire. The Hatfield murder case, the Xina Raymond case and. the Doraa ease have all been tried with special Juries, and the regulars have had a intcnic on full pay until last Tuesday, when Judse Dale ordered their pay stopped and sent them home until needed.
