THE MORMON BOOMERANG.
Their Protest Believed to BE Far More
Injurious than Beneficial.

SALT LAKE, May 6.-Several men,
bers of the Utah Commission, being
to-day interviewed by an Associated
Press reporter as to the effect of the
late Mormon declaration and protest
sent to the authorities at Washing
ton and to the people OF the United
States, say: "lt will do the Mormon
cause more harm than good. First
Because it is a bold, unqualified dec
laration in favor Of the dogma of po-
lygamy. Second-The leaders who
formulated the document have in
duced the whole Mormon people ap-
parently to indorse the declaration,
while no doubt there are many dis
senters, yet they have allowed them
selves to be placed by their leaders
in the attitude Of unanimously in
dorsing polygamy. This, of course,
will be used by the outsiders as an
argument for more stringent legis-
latiOn."

THE SCENE AT THE POLICE STATION
where the three dead bodies which
were removed from the ruins were
conveyed, was pitiful one. A bed
quilt was thrown over the bodies and
many called to see if they could rec
ognize the indistinguishable mass.
All failed, however, and all state
ments were simply guess work. One
of the body's legs were burned to the
knees and the two arms to the elbows.
The other bodies were merely
q mass OF black cinders. The
bodies are all those of men. When
the father Of the missing boy, John
McGrath, went to the police station
he tainted twice, and when he was
able, gave vent to the most piteous
means. "Oh! Sergeant" he cried,
"do tell me my poor boy, my only
support is not dead;'. "oh, bring him
back to me-" The man was getting
delerious and had to he removed.
His son perished beyond doubt.
Numbers of women and girls

What the London Papers Have to Say
Regarding Sir Peter Lumsden's
Recall.

LONDON, May y6.-Lord Churchill,
addressing a Conservative meeting
tonight, protested against the COM
mission on the frontier diliMitation
being removed to London to be dealt
with by the imbeciles in the Foreign
Office. Russia, he said, had always
objected to the presence of General
Sir Peter Lumsden, aud now that
the Government had gratified Russia
by recalling General Lumsden, it
was time for the Tories to endeavor
to bring about change in the ad-
visers of the Crown by refusing sup
plies.
The Daily Nevs is authorized to
deny that Russia has stipulated that
England shall not occupy Port Ham,
ilten. The NeUs believes that Rus
sia has offered England positive as
surance thst she has no intention of
taking Herat.

may have will be worthless so far as
the negotiations with Russia in Lon

The Times also says that the change

ment in a different position, and that
it is time to make him understand he

THE THIEF'S. EXCUSE.
A Protest Against Saddiing All Defalcations
on Innocent Boards of Trade

A Protest Against Saddiing All Defalcations
Innocent Boards of Trade.
Chicago Daily Business.
When punishment overtakes a thief or
an embezzler, nine times out of ten
the excuse is made that he los: his money
board of trade" The chances are that he never
saw the board of trade. and never made a deal
on the board, but the statement that the missing
funds went that way is convenient and popular
lie. and one that is difficult to refute.
For the cheap clerk who robs his employers
till of S. to spend on an evenings spree, and tho
accomplished scoundrel who embeZZes 800, 600
to Squander on wine, women races and cards.
/ the stereotyped refrain is equally attractive
The rascal who, in the language of the street.
had blown in $40 against bucket-shop at soma
remote period in the past, and spent 81, 600 in
the qualification of sensual pleasures, will say
nothing about the money squandered in bestiaii-
ties but will insist that it all went '.bucking
against the board of trade"
A thief is conscious that an open confession
that he squandered trust funds for the promotion
OF prostitution would be not only humiating,
but that it would lower his standing in the ewes
Of the world and lessen his chances of escape or
forgiveness. Surrender to centiouS instincts is
weak vulgarity. Unfortunate speculation"
sounds more dienifed; so the thief envelopes
his crime in the glamour of alleged speculation.
and pleads that fact il extenuation. The vic
tins who would turn away from him in
disgust if they knew the facts, soften
towards him when they find that the poor
fellow fell into the hands of some ravenous
board of trade sharper who alured him to de-
struction. and matters are smoothed over.
Preachers depounce the board Of trade and
newspapers rail against the colossal gambling
hels carried On under the guise of boards of
trade and stock exchanges, and members of these
maligned commercial institutions find them
selves labeled as gamblers and sharps.
1t is lucky that business men know more about
boards of trade that the average editor and
preacher who write and talk them down, or
these senseless crusaders might be injurious.
AS it is, they only annoying.
