SALT LAKR Utah, April 4.-The sixtieth

able document which alleges that the

body, is characterized as dishonest,
brutal, and even criminal. Ii Is charged

tenn of terrorism over certain classes, ex-

age over respectable citizens for no other
purpose than to prosecute them, should
they offend the powers that be. Ii is a
matter Of common notoriety. continues
the document, that police officials regu-
larly levy tribute on every immoral out
cast who walks the streets, compelling
them To pay toll for plying their degrading
vocations. Saloonkeepers are compelled
to pay for police protection. and every
gambling den in the city pays for the
privilege of existence.

MOUNT VERNON, n. ", April 4.-Much
excitement prevailed in this village this
morning over the announcement that a
bold attempt had been made to assassin
ate +. w. Chivvis, a well known citizen of
Mount Vernon. Most sensational reports
were circulated regarding the shooting,
and il was said that Chivvis had been
shot down on the highway for the purpose
of robbery. On investigation IL was
learned that Chivvis, accompanied by
Frank Wright, principal Of the public
school in New York, and Brewster Smith,
a well known carriage builder Of New
York. were out To dinner last night, and
the shooting occurred while they were re-
turning home. The men were evidently
i'm "A merry mood. Chivvis says that he

A TEMPERANCE MEASURE.
bill for the Establishment OF an Alcohol
Liquor Trnnic Com On i~sion.

WASHINGTON, April Al. l.. Taylor,
from the committee on alcoholic liquors
traffic to-day reported to the house the
bill agreed upon by the committee pro-
viding for the appointment of an alco-
holic liquor traffic commission. The re-
port OF the committee says that large
portion Of the people have for n long time
desired an honest, impartial and thorough
investigation of the liquor traffic i'm all its
phases aud reference is made To inquiries
10y similar commissions in Eng
land which had remarkable results
and warrant further investigations.
Reports from domestic sources
indicate that the liquor traffic causes
four-fifths OF all the crime committed,
wastes one-half of taxation, causes the
expenditure Of SsOO,000a a year in drink,
incapacitates mentally and physically
half million people for labor and busi-
ness, causes thrcc-fourths Of the paupcr-
ism OF the country, is responsible for the
fearful increase of insanity and imbc-
cility and does no good tn anybody. On
the other hand these statements are
deemed and pronounced To bc hallucina-
tions OF n diseased brain. Therefore,
says the report, let us have an investiga-
ton and let the world know the truth or
falsity OF these assertions.
Quinn presented the minority report. In
OF the bill. while the commissioners shall
not belong To the same political party.
they may all he prohibitionists. The
majority concedc than congress has
no power To regulate the liquor traffic
in states and il Is therefore a novel prop
osition that IL shall investigate the SUBJ
jcct without possessing the power to
carry out by legislation the recommends
tons made by the commission. Quin n
maintains that there Is no information on
the subject that has not already been
published. II has been agitatcd and dis.
cussed for 40 years and il is an insult on
their ability and intelligence To say that
they are not informed upon the subject
and this commission can I'm two years
give them what they do not already know,
In conclusion, Quinn says undoubtedly
the bill is one of those numerous meas.
ures originating outside Of congress under
the pressure of great public benefit, the
purpose of which is personal advance
mcnt and selfish interest. The bill Is in
tended to infringe upon the rights Of ths
people and Is un-American in its charac

iOWA's PRohIBiToRY LAW.
Views of Her Representatives at Washing
ton on lts Results.

tOh On BkeSuItSs
WASHINGTON, April A. The Post has
been interviewing Iowa senators and rep
resentatives on the probability Of repeal
or modification Of the Iowa prohibition
law. The result was a substantially uni
form expression of belief that the law
would stand unrepealed. In the inter
views they very generally expressed the
opinion that the law had been beneficial,
and the decreased i'm crime and conse-
quent lessening Of expenses for criminal
and eleemosynary institutions was
largely due to the prohibitory law.
The prohibition sentiment, ma
jority of them thought, was as
strong as ever and several gentlemen
ascribed the result of the last election TO
the railroad question more than anything
else. Congressman Hayes, the only dem
ecrat from Iowa, says; "As republicans
control the senate and block the house,
thing nothing will be done. don't think
the law will he repealed, but il is possible
that some of the republicans may, through
public sentiment, join the democrats in a
stringent license law. The present pro.
hibitory system Is not sustained by ma
jority of the people, and never was. Its
absolute failure to accomplish any good
and the positive evils flowing from il
have caused feelings TO be greatly against
it," He thought the other question that

AN AMoRous LUNATlc.
He Has Recently Married Two Prett!
Girls.

New YORK, April 4.-Anthony Fol-
mard, an insane man. has recently mar
ried two pretty and intelligent girls. one
in waverly. n. j., and another in Chat
ham. The first, a Miss Scudler, he mar
ried three months ago. Two days after
the ceremony he compelled her to don
her bridal robes, after which he locked
her in n small room, boited and barred
the door and left the place. She was i'm
prisoned for 36 hours. and would have
starved had not her mother visited the
new home and discovered il barred and
apparently deserted.
Folmartl was arrested and locked up.
II was subsequently learned that he had
been an inmate OF n private insane asy-
lum for two years and had another wife
or two living. He was placed ia an asy-
lum by wealthy uncle, but on February
5 was discharged. Since then he became
acquainted with Miss Lyman Of Montrose
and married her In Chatham about a week
ago. The couple started out on bridal
tour and to his wife's surprise Folmard
insisted on going to Lake Hopatcong,
which in winter Is very dreary.
On "Wednesday afternoon he hired a
boat and went out for n sail. II was
blowing hard and n light rain was falling.
He steered toward Halsey island. where
he landed and allowed the boat to drift
away with his wife. The boat became
unmanageable. but Folmard paid
no attention To his wife's prcdica-
ment, and as the light boat capsizcd he
started TO walk around the island. Miss
Lyman clung with desperate energy to
the mast as the boat fioundercd about in
the cold and choppy waves. She was re-
sc,ired by two men from the shore.
Folmard was pursued 10 the island and
captured. He denied all knowledge of
Miss lyman and claimed that he had
never been married. Papers on his per-
son revealed his identity and other facts
which resulted in having his uncle once
more called upon. The latter, whose
name is the same as the crazy mans, said
that his nephew's first wife had died from
the effects of the grip at Westfield last
January. and that Folmard came into
Sl21 900 worth of property. Folmard is to
be placed i'm an asylum permanently.
