RETURNED THE RING.
Rufus Vassar Presents Maude Duggan
With a Diamond and Saves
Himself

Rufus vassar Presents Maude Duggan
With a Diamond and Saves
Himself.
Miss Maude Duggan held quite levee
morning. She is the pretty and young
woman who claims to be the daughter of
a grain king In Chicago, but who has been
away from home year or more taking in
the sights of San Francisco, contrary to
repeated telegraphic messages to ''come
home"
Last Tuesday she caused a warrant to
be issued for the arrest of Rufus Vassar,
boy in his teens, who claims to be related
to the Vassars of the college of that name.
Sne swore that the young man, who re-
sides at the Baldwin Hotel, within
stones throw OF the Ramona, where she
lodges, took her to church on one occa-
sion, during which visit her pocket was
picked of SIP. He took her to the races
after that, and, for fear her pockets might
again be entered by thieves, she listened
to his seductive voice and allowed him to
be the custodian of her wealth. He wa
gered for her, and presumably lost, as she
declares he made no returns. The final
straw was when he took q diamond ring of
hers, valued at $2C0, to have it reset.
Wien he Jailed to produce the jewel after
q months time, she caused his arrest for
EN- bezzlement.
The case was to have been heard yester-
day morning, when the young lady and
her court of pretty young boys were
ushered into the presence of Judge Low.
Vassar, the defendant, was there also.
and so was the ring. The prosecution
showed no desire to push the case and it
was allowed to go over for two weeks. the
diamond being returned to Miss Duggan
in the meantime.
It is understood that the two weeks
con tinuance is granted to give young Vas
sar ample time to procure SIP from his
people in the East to REIN burse Miss
Duggan for the loss of her money in the

John E. Budd wanted to know what
legal service was performed by Mr.. Kahn
and in the mufmur of voices the word
Sacramento" was audible. Lieutenant
Governor Jeter, turning to Speaker
Coombs, said in playful alluson. Coon bs
must have received it-I didn't"
THE CALL reporter asked Governor
Budd what service had been rendered for
the $3.50 allowed, and the latter said he
knew nothing about the item and would
not vote for it. The Governor left the
room before vote was taken on the bills.
Regent Timothy Guy Phelps did not
know what legal service had been rem
dered. He knew that Major Mhoon was
the attorney of the board.
John E. Budd moved that the word
'Iegar' be stricken out of the report.
When the clerk finished reading the
statement of bills audited the roll was
called and the record shows that the bills
were ordered paid. Speaker Coombs and
perhaps others. understood that the vote
was on John E. Budd's motion TO ameud.
The bills allowed aggregated $8165 25.
The Kahn item OF $3.50 may be taken
up at the session this morning. 1t was
acknowledged at Sacramento that the
main work of securing the increas ed ap-
preparation was prepared by Senator
Stratton, Asse blyman Wright and Re-
gents Rodgers and Slack. If it should
turn out that the regents had under any
guise whatever allowed money for lobby
ing at Sacramento, a storm of public In
dignation would surely be aroused.
The contractors for the work of building
the Affiliated Colleges submitted a COM
munication to the board setting forth that
they had been impeded In the work and
put to much additional expense by reason
of the boards dilatory tactics in consider
ing progress estimates. They presented
estimate No. 3 for $3.50, No. 2 for $7680
and No. 8 for $500.
The contractors claim that they have
expended $36, 140 to date and have only
received $9002. The contracting firm is
the Ray Construction Company. Governor
Budd promised to approve the bills at
Sacramento tomorrow and present them
at once to the Board of Examiners.
Henry Lund, Swedish Consul, and DR..
Thomas Boysen presented a petition
bearing 5000 signatures requesting that a
chair be established at the university for
the teaching of the lost language of the
Norseland. Mr.. Lund stated that 100 COO
direct descendants OF the Norsemen dwelt
on the Pacific Coast, and that there were
a million indirect descendants. The SUBJ
ject was referred TO the committee on in
ternal adminisirAtion.

Before the reading was concluded the
Governor suggested that consideration of
the document should be deferred until
this mornings session. This suggestion
was brought about by the general obser-
vation that mum ber of new places had
been created. The motion TO defer pre-
vailed.
A slight sensation was caused when a
statement of the bills audited by the
finance committee was read. One item
evoked comment. 1t was this:

MONEY FOR INFLUENCE.
Mrs. Mary w Healey Parts
With All Her Hard.
Earned Savings.
'Se muel ] de Graaf Promised to CT
Her Sick Husband Made a
Policeman.

The preliminary examinatio of Samuel
]. de Graaf on the charge of grand larceny
was commenced before Judge Campbell
yesterday afternoon.
The complaining witness is Mrs. Mary
w. Healey, AZ Stanley place, and she al
leges that De Graaf got $44S from her in
November last on his promise to get her
husband q position on the police force,
which he had failed to fulfill.
In giving her evidence Mrs Healey told
a story tha: aroused the liveliest interest
in the Judge and spectators. She said
her husband had been sick for the past
four years and she had to work to support
the family.
While working in tho King Morse can
ming factory on Broadway and Sansome
last October sne made the acquaintance of
De Graaf, who was also working there and
was known as "Loney." De Graaf told
her that his father was a millionaire in
Europe and had several shares in the
factory. He was working there simply as
a spy, as lot of articles had been stolen
from the factory.
De Graaf used to call at her house. and
finally he suggested that as be knew sew
eral officials in the City Hall and had con-
siderable influence he might get her hus-
band on the police force.
De Graaf told her AFTER several talks on
the subject that it would require money
to give to people who could influence the
Police Com missioners. and she went with
him to the Hibernia Bank and drew out
the money, which was all she possessed in
the world, and gave it to De Graaf. Then
they went to the office OF Attorney ]. J.
Coffey. and De Graaf gave her note for
the amount.
De Graaf afterward went with her hus-
band and got an application for a posi-
ton on the force, which was filled up, and
she got twelve property-owners to sign it.
Since then neither she nor her husband
had heard anything more of the appoint
ment.
Mrs. Healey was subjected to a rigid
cross-examnalion by Attorney Dare. who
appeared for the defendant. She admitted
that she believed her husband could get
a position on the force although he was
sick man, and also that it was in the belief
that De Graaf was q millionaire's son and
had influence in the City Hall that she
gave him the money.
Her cross-examination was not con-
cluded when the court adjourned, and it
will be continued tomorrow afternoon.

The rooms were well filled with people
who were eager to hear what DR.. Barrows

troduced by the Rev. DR.. Mckenzie. In
speaking Of the women of the Eastern

INJUNCTION MODIFIED.
Regarding Sale of New American
Natural Gas Stock.


Judge HileS yesterday made a modifica-
ton in the temporary restraining order
preventing the directors of the New
American Natural Gas and Fuel COM
pany from selling the stock of the COM
pany advertised as delinquent on the as
sessment levied in December last The
hearing on the petition for a permanent
injunction has not yet taken place, and
the date of the sale being fixed for yes
terday, both sides agreed to the Tempo
rary restraining order being modified
to allow the directors to postpone the
sale for 80 days.
The suit for the injunction is brought
by j. Nj. Stout and % other stockholders
controlling S0,1T shares of the capital
stock of the New American Natural Gas
ard Fuel company, on behalf of them
selves and all other stockholders similar
ly situated who wish to join in the action
which is against the company and H. Van
Pelt. A. T. Moon, V. H. Pearse, James
Johnson. T. Egan and ]. ]. Rogers. its
directors.
1t is set out in the complaint that the
defendant company is the owner of
natural gas fields in Davis county and
that the company contracted to deliver
and did deliver to the Salt Lake and Og-
den Gas and Electric Light company
sufficient quantity of natural gas to give
them monthly income of $500. a sufficient
sum to pay all the company's debts and
liabilities. and this, with the $4,000 re-
ceived for gas delivered prior to March 3,
1896 was ample for all purposes, but not
withstanding this. the directors levied an
assessment of cents per share in March,
1896. and a similar assessment on Sept.
2S. from which $500 was realized, and on
Dec. ( last they attempted to levy an
other assessment of cents per share.
These assignments. is is alleged. We're
all unnecessary. and were levied by the
directors for the purpose of depressing
the stock so that the directors could get
hold of it themselves at a figure greatly
below its real value.
The plaintiffs therefore pray that an
order issue restraining the directors from
selling the stock as delinquent under
the assessment levied on December 4.

FORT DOUGLAS NOTES.

On the 18th day of July. 1885, the troops
under the command of General A. Sidney
Johnston, who were on their way to
Utah to subjugate the Mormons, left
Camp Scott near Fort Bridger, Wyo.
They had been encamped at Fort Scott
for nearly eight months waiting the
arrival of supplies and reinforcements.
AT the end of that time they prepared to
march to Salt Lake City.
1t was beautiful morning that bright
July day as the troops broke camp
and started on their march for Salt
they passed through Echo canyon, up
East canyon, down Emigration, and on
the 26th of July marched out on the
bench on which Fort Douglas now stands
They stood on the identical spot where
Brigham Young and his followers had
obtained their first view of the valley
of the Great Salt Lake and the Jordan
river.
The troops halted here for a short rest
and to enjoy the glorious view around
them. Then then marched through the
streets of Salt Lake City. much to the
terror of the inhabitants, and camDed on
the banks of the Jordan river, about two
miles from the city, on dusty, desolate
fiat.
After some deliberation it was decided
to fix the sight of a permanent military

OF Salt Lake City. This site was oc-
cupied soon after and was named Camp

careful study of the situation, 1 have
arrived at the conclusion that in social

should not all humanity have a share
IN the benefits? Or, rather, Why should
not the many advantages we have be

POLICY OUTLINED,
WOMAN sUFFRAGIsTs SET OUT
THEIR STATES.
Washington, Oregon, California and
Nevada Will Be Made the Battle
Ground-Eastern States to Be
Ignored.

Des Moines, Ia, Jan. 30.-With a
meeting of the executive committee
today, the annual convention of the
National Woman Suffrage association
concluded. The policy of the associa-
ton for the coming year was outlined,
and it was practically determined to
remove the national headquarters from
Philadelphia to New York, and to place
it in charge of the committee on or
ganization, of which Carrie Lane Chap
man Gait is chairman. Mrs. Avery,
corresponding secretary, will continue
to do her work from Philadelphia, her
home.
1t was determined to drop efforts in
the east and devote all attention to the
western states. Washington, Oregon,
California and Nevada will be made
the battle grounds. A chief effort will
be made to induce the enfranchised
women in states that already have
equal suffrage to take an interest in
the cause in other states. At present
they are of almost no help to the ma
tional organization. The next con-
vention will be held in Washington1in
January, 1898.
