A Butte Woman Said to Have
Been UnJustly Held at
San Diego.
She Is Found Only After Her Hus-
band Had Been Charged With
Her Murder.

SALT LAKE, UTAH, April pa spe-
cial to the Herald from Butte, Mont, says
An evening paper prints startling story
about former well-known woman, Mrs.
Jerome B. Westgate, having been locked
up in private madhouse at San Diego,
Cal, on charges trumped up by her hus-
band. About ten years ago the woman
owned large real estate interests in Butte,
but her health failed, and her husband
persuaded her to dispose of her property
and 60 to California. Since then her
friends and sister living here have heard
little from her.
Some weeks ago the sister received an
anonymous letter, informing her that Mrs.
Westgate was incarcerated in a private
asylum at San Diego. The former at once
went to her sisters rescue and secured her
release and has just returned to Butte with
her.
Mrs. Westgate is a physical wreck, She
says that shortly after they settled in San
Diego she invested her money successfully
while her husband became worthless. She
threatened to sue for a divorce and then be
schemed to get possession of her property
He destroyed their marriage certificate
and denied that she was his wife. She
claims that he drugged her and had hel
confined in private asylum and kept in 6
solitary cell for weeks.
Friends charged her husband with muir
der, aud in this way her whereabouts wa!
discovered. Mrs. Westgate has secured {
copy of her marriage certificate and viii

SPEAKS FOR HIMSELF.
President CtereIand Says He Needs No
One to Talk for Him.

WASHINGTON, D. c., April 22.-The
statement which J. Sterling Morton gave
to the press last week of his views upon
the financial question has been interpreted
by the press very generally as an utterance
made on behalf of the President expressing
his attitude. This inference was based
largely upon the circumstances that Mr.
Morton made public his statement so soon
after his return from the White House.
where he had been in conference with the
President at the regular Cabinet meeting
This surmise was proven to-day to be in
correct by denials which were made by
both President Cleveland and Mr. Morton.
The Presidents statement, which was
given to the Associated Press by Private
Secretary Thurber, follows. The Presi-
dent, being asked this evening whether
Secretary Morton's interview upon the
money question might be regarded as rep
resenting his views, replied:
~ am in no manner responsible for Mr.
>Morton's interview and knew nothing of it
until l read it in the papers. When have
seen fit to say anything to the people on
the money question or any other subject
have thus far found it quite easy to do so
directly and on my own account"

Saws He Does Not Know Any
thing About the Gift to
the Complainant.
He THINKS IT IS REVENGE.
The Indictment Spread on the Min
utes of the Court by Judge
MorroW'S Order.

NEW YORK, n. Y, April 22.-Collis P.
Huntington, president OF the Southern
Pacific Railway, was arrested to-day on
the charge of giving free pass to one
Frank Stone in violation OF the interstate
commerce law.
President Huntington was arralgned be-
fore United States Commissioner Shields.
He was represented by Frederick R. Cou-
dert. Huntington admitted his identity.
He was taken before Judge Brown OF the
United States District Court for warrant OF
removal to California.
The Indictment against Huntington was
found on March % in San Francisco, GER
titled copy of which was sent to United
States District Attorney McFarlane, who
notified the railroad president TO appear
before the United States Commissioner
and furnish bonds. When Huntington
was arraigned Commissioner Shields said
the only question ne could inquire into
was the one of identity, which COudert, Tor
Huntington, said would be admitted.
An order was then made out holding
him TO await the issue OF the warrant OF
removal.
Counsel then went before Judge Brown
the hearing was fixed for next Thursday at
8 o'clock, Huntington meantime being
allowed to 90 on his own recogniZances.
Huntington said to reporter after the
proceedings before Commissioner Shields

five years. He is San Francisco lawyer.

pass: probably I did, but I give out SO
many passes that 1 do not remember a
third OF them.
The passes given out are Endorsed as a
rule, Not good outside OF the State, and
presume his pass was not so stamped and
he took advantage Of it.

the fact that when I became president o.
the Southern Pacific Railroad 1 discharged
twenty-three men in San Francisco who
were, as far as 1 could see, mere pohtica

They did no work for the railway that

ditions of the experimental sugar machin-
cry which was purchased by the depart
ment at various times at a cost of about
$280000. So far, the report says, very lit
tie good has ever been derived from it. The
machinery was loaned out to persons to
make experiments and it is now in the
hands of private parties. The most of it
is in Kansas, though small portion is in
Florida and Louisiana.
The department will also take up the
question of what to do with it, and it is
thought it will be appraised and sold.
Some difficulty is anticipated in proving
the title to the property, as a great deal OF
it is in the hands of people who claim pos
session. In several cases the Department
of Agriculture has referred the Govern
ment cases to the Department of Justice
and it is expected that United States Dis
trict Attorneys will be called upon to assist
in retaining the machinery.

built at the foot of this reservoir, where
the Mojave, the largest river in Southern
California, flows through a narrow pass
between the high granite bluffs. The
profit OF the company will come, of course,
wholly from the sale of water rights. The
land can be had from the Government by

DIR. SALMON ON CATTLE.
AGITATION Cannot Destroy the Truth of
Statements Regarding Prices.

Statements Regarding Prices.
WASHINGTON, D. c., April DIR.
Salmon to-day was shown the dispatch
given out by r. P. Woodbury., secretary of
the Kansas City stockyards, in which it
was charged that the agitation begun by
the Agricultural Department has hurt the
livestock industry. In reply DR.. Salmon
said.
'The United States Department of Agri-
culture had its attention called to the dis
crepancy between the prices of fat cattle
on the hoof and the price of prime beef in
retail markets before an investigation had
been authorized by any person connected
with the department. He declared that
he did not credit the statement that the
agitation had put down the price of live
cattle and maintained the retail price of
beef as it is alleged by the Kansas City
stockyards people; prices depend now and
have depended all along on the relation OF
the supply of beef to the demand for beef.
Agitation and investigation, he said,
"can neither cripple nor destroy the truth
and the right, and it is due to the pro-
ducers and the consumers alike that the
intermediary profits of middIemen stand
ing between them should be only reason
able and compensatory. The advance in
prices by retail dealers in dressed beef of
5 cents to the consumers when there is
an advance of only 81 per 100 pounds to
the farmers and cattle-feeders for animals
on the hoof is not regarded as equitably
proportioned."

TIE SECRET LNDICTMEHs.
It Vas Spread on the Minutes of the
Court Yesterday.

Il
Court Yesterday.
The famous indictment against Coils P.
Huntington was taken off the secret file
in the United States District Court yester-
day. As soon as the news that the rail
road magnate had been arrested in New
York reached Judge Morrow he ordered
the document which caused so much ex-
element in local circles spread on the
minutes Of the court.
The Indictment Is a long one, and fol-
lows very closely the act entitled ''An act
to regulate commerce" Rid of its legal
phraseology it sets forth that on the 10th
day OF February, 1894, Coils P. Hunting
ton was president Of the Southern Pacific
Company; that branches of that COM
pany's road ran into Utah, Oregon and
south through various States to New Or
leans. In pursuance Of his power as pres
ident he issued pass to Frank N. Stone,
which read as follows:
Southern Pacific Companv-Pass Frank NJ.
Stone over lines OF the Southern Pacific Com
pany, 1894, until December 3lst, unless other
wise ordered {. P. HUNTINGTON
After referring to the breach of the inter
state commerce act which was committed
the Indictment sets forth: THAT it was the
intent or the SdlQ OOAllS I. Huntington
when he so unlawfully, willfully and
knowingly issued, made, executed. gave
and delivered and caused 30 be delivered to
the said Frank VI. Stone the said instru-
rnent in writing giving said Stone a
full and unlimited privilege and oppor-
tunity to travel without charge"
The people who are allowed TO travel free
under the provisions of the interstate COM
merce law are then enumerated, and it
is shown that Frank NJ. Stone does not
come under any of the heads. The indiet-
ment sets forth ''That the said Frank NJ.
Stone, to whom this undue and unreason-
able preference and advantage, as afore-
said was thus given and made by him, the
said Coils P Huntington, president OF the
Southern Pacific Company, as aforesaid,
was not then and there homeless and
destitute person transported or 20 be trans
ported BIZ a charitable society" Neither
was he a minister of the gospel on an
eyangeliZing tour; neither was he an en-
ploye OF the railroad; neither was he
shareholder in the company, and neither
did he belong TO any of the classes or peo-
pie entitled TO free transportation under
the provisions Of the interstate commerce
act
On that showing the indictment sets
forth that the action OF Huntington in issu-
ing the pass was contrary TO law and
against the peace and dignity of the
United States, and concludes by asking
that he be punished in the manner pro-
vided.
The witnesses in the case are George W.
Monteith, I. ]. Roberts, Frank NJ. Stone
and Elmer L. Decker.

ALBANY, n. Y, April 22.-In the Court
of Appeals to-day Joseph H. Choate for
the appellant and Winslow Pierce
for the respondent argued an appeal
from an order from the general
term, affirming an order OF the
special term, determining that the Union
Pacific Company and the receivers thereof
be made party defendants in the action
brought by the Soldiers Home of St. Louis
on behalf of the holders of Kansas Pa
cifc consolidated bonds, against Russell
Sage and George J. Gould individually,
and Edwin Gould, George j. Gould, How
ard Gould and Helen NJ. Gould, as execu-
tors and executrix of the last will of Jay
Gould, to compel the said defendants to
account for the proceeds of 1888 shares
OF the capital stock of the Denver Pa
cifc Railroad and Telegraph Company.
of the alleged value with interest of
81, 600 600, said to have been wrongfully
Withdrawn from the trust created by the
mortgage executed by the Kansas Pacific
Railway Company to Jay Gould and Rus
sell Sage as trustees, dated May 1, 1899,
and to remove the defendants, Russell
Sage and George J. Gould, from their trus-
teeship.
Mr.. Choate said this was an action to
compel the trustees of an express trust
Russell Sage and George J. Gould, as sue
cessors to Jay Gould-to account for the
proceeds of the trust securities embezzled
by them from the trust and converted to
their use.
He contended that within ten months
after the trust was constituted the trus-
tees took the 100000 of stock and ap-
propriated it to their personal use
The bringing in of these defendants,
the Union Pacific Company, was unneces
sary because the action was against these
two trustees personally, and the bringing
in of the other trustees would defeat the
object sought to be obtained by the plain
tiffs.
Mr.. Pierce, on behalf of the defendants
respondents, held that the bringing in Of
the Union Pacific as a defendant was In
dispensable, because without them final
adjustment of the rights and equities Of
the parties could not be had.
He held that by judgment rendered by
the Supreme Court of New York in 1880
in the suit of the Kansas Pacific against
Gould and Sage, the 29,086 shares of stock
were adjudged to be forever freed and
released from the trust created by the
mortgages and Gould and Sage were di
rected to deliver the certificates of stock tC

here over the attempt to import Mexican
cattle into this county for grazing is still
intense. The State Sanitary Board will
meet tomorrow and decide as to the adj

statu quo.
If the board decide to permit the cattle,
which are now in quarantine, to be I'M

follow. Hundreds of cattlemen who have
come to town since the controversy arose
declare the animals shall be deported or
