The supposilIor | IS that he was William B. rasoott, the . murderer of Ames J. Sneil, the Chicago [ millionaire, The man came here about 3 four weeks ago, and for the past two l weeks he has been tending bar in the l CalifornIs Wine House. where he was at [ work at the tune of his arrest. When taken to the station his clothes were re-
 moved in order to look for the identify
 ing marks which it is supposed Tssooit Is known to carry on his body. The
 scar of bullet wound was fonnd on the mans leg according to the description m
 Chief Hubbard's circullr with the ex-
 ceptiou that 1t was & tritie lower down
 on the leg. He also had scar on the
 elbow aud gold filled front teeth, and
 hair and complexion the same as IAs-
 colt is reported to have. The man sus-
 mi.ted quietly to his arrest protesting
 however, that be had never done any
 thing for which he should be arrested.
 He was locked up in a cell by himself
 without being informed of the charge
 against him, to await ibe arrival of Ofii-
 cers from Chicago. His arrest vas
 caused by an unknown man who claims
 that he has followed Carter for several months through Nevada. Washington
 Territory, Oregon and California, all the
 time closely watching him and waiting
 favorable opportunity 10 have him ar
 rested. Not until last night was the "un-
 known" positive be was after the right
 man. As soon as he became satisfied | ka latx gs,e
 ed the chief of police who caused Cart
 CTS arrest before he had any suspicion that he vas suspected of being Tsscott.
 Chief Brady wired Chef Hubbard, of
 Chicago, snd an officer is expected here
 tomorrow night who will be able to
 fully identify Carter If he is the man
 wanted.
 An hour after being released Garter
 wes rearrested on a warrant sworn out
 by O. H. Van Vlierden, charging him
 with beiog a fugitive from justice. He
 was placed Tn the county jail to await
 further developments. The police claim
 that while there was a slight resembl-
 snce between Carter and the description given of Tascott, they are positive this is not the man wanted. The gunshot
 wounds on Carter5 left arm and right leg are not exactly in the place descrIb- ed on Tascott, neither is their hsir the same, Carter having a very pronounced cOwlick which TRscOtt has not. Carter will be held until he can give q satIsfRc- tory explanation of himself during the past nine months or the arrival of some | one from Chicago able to identify TGs- | colt.
 Chicago, Sept lS-A. J. Stone who of | fers S220OO for the arrest Of scott, re- l ported spprehende6 in Denver this morn | ing. said this afternoon m GE interview | with an Associated Press reporter .h.t bis information confirms the statement l about Tascott's wanderings iu ths west. 1 As tO the wounds on the leg af the man under arrest at Denver, it he proved to I be Tascott, Stone is of the Cpluion that | II is not a bullet wound but the marks | of shRckles worn while imprisoned iD | Louisville. Kentucky. Stone was iu- formed by 8 woman acquainted with | Tascott that she saw him in Mexico, The circulars sent broadcast giving a description of the fugitive said his eyes were hazel, this Stone says may not be | strictly accurate, as several people who knew him well assert that they are dark blue. Other points of the description not heretofore touched on are that his eye brows meet above his nose, and that the lower part of his face recedes some what from the general face line, and that his eyes are large and full,
 WAsHIS6roS, Sept. 1.-Two of the members of the Utah commission, John A. MoClennand and A. B. Carleton, have filed with the cretsry of the interior a minority report. They also submitted the minority report last year. The re- port received to-day says reform ID Utah Is progressing fsvorRbly, far beyond our most sanguine snticips;iOns. Utah is coming to the front among the Rocky mountain states and territories. and msy be compared fsvorRbly with any of them in the enterprise of her ci.i- zens, the fertility of her valleys, the richness of her mines and the flourish ing condition of her cities and towns. A great deal of capital Is being invested in Utah by non -MormRns in both city and farming lands, mining property, and such investments are as safe there as ID any other territory or state. That is to say there is not the slightest danger of insurrection, nor ID our opinion. IS there any danger of adverse Legislation that will ieopsrdize personal security or property rights.
 Apart from the sexual offenses, which are decidedly on the decrease. the Nor mon people of Utah will compare iav orably with other communities, for peace, good order. sobriety, honesty and industry.
 The commissioners say in their opin- ion 6 majority of the Mormon people have wisely resolved that the practice of po'ygamy should be abandoned.
 T | that the work of refor- nation m Utah IS progressing rapidly, and that 1t will result in a successful is sue without the resort to legislaticn, that IS proscuptIve 10 religious opinion, our views may be epitomized in few words. Punish the criminal action, but , religious creeds never. The commis- , sioners are adverse to any further res trictive legislation by congress, believ- , ing the present laws sufii stringent and will accomplish all thar csn be req , sonsbly required of legal coercion.
 The report recommends the adoption , of an amendment to the federal consti. v tuition prohibIsive Of the institution or practice of polyVsmy ID the states or ter ritories, or any place over which the United Ttstes has exclusive Jurisdiction. The commissioners ID conclusion say We have no disposition tC a fsnd the Mormons against Ell that La- been said against them, but they gre entitled to be treated with humanity. tylre not they Brs subisc. Co te in- huenced by the same csu-e that Lave chsnyed and RmeliOrB.ed rea. Ir ot other churches and crseds. We believe they 2 have got common sense. and by the ex- ' rcise of this valuable G.triruie they have found out that polyzsuy must 20. We believe the great mGss of the Nor mon people are determined to g1 on with reform, sni they wIll accom- m7lish work in spite of any Iniuencs thst may ! be attempted to be exercised by few old polygamists.
