PRESIDENT DOLE.
Passes Through Rawlins, Wyo., En-
Route to Washington.

SALT LAKE, Jan. 21-A special to
the Tribune" from Rawlins. Wyo.,
says:
Sanford Z. Dole, President of the Ha-
waiian Republic, and his party passed
through here this evening en- route to
Washington.
Mr.. Dole was questioned concerning
the purpose of his visit and the chances
for securing annexation. He said he
preferred not to talk for publication on
annexation matters while the question
was directly before Congress. He had
been sent to the United States by the
Council of Statehood, because it was
the general desire of influential men of
Hawaii that he should come for the
purpose Of comforting with the Hawaii
an delegation at Washington and with
President Mckinley and the officers Of
his administration. If it was desired,
he was prepared to give all the infor-
nation on Hawaiian affairs at his COM
mand to these officers.
Concerning the franchise in Hawaii.
President Dole said the sentiment was
strongly against extending it to Jap
anese and Chinese residents
In the event of failure to secure an
nexation, President Dole thought the
present form of Government would be
continued. The growth and CONNER
cial Importance of the islands would
be greatly retarded If annexation should
fail Should the treaty be ratified, the
close relations would afford a great op-
portunity for American capital and la
bor on the islands.

BILLIARD TOURNAMENT.
Schaefer Establishes a New Record
in the BaIk Line Game.

CHICAGO, jan 81 Wizard"
Schaefer in his game this afternoon
with Cation in the 1S-incl balk line
tournament ran his 400 5 = -el
innings, an average of 40, ,.l is the
worlds record at the new game. The
balls suited him, the temperature was
all right, and from the start it was
evident that he was ready to make
things interesting for his opponent.
The Wizard" started off in quarter
horse style, making 43 from the play
off, and following with clever runs of
81 and 6f. AT this point Cation had
one point to his credit This did not
suit the Rock Islander, and in the next
three innings he put together II points.
Jake came back with %, - and %,
and at the end of the seventh inning
the call was: Schaefer 210. Cation 50.
In the eighth inning Schaefer made
one and Cation scored a goose egg.
Evidently Schaefer thought enough
time had been wasted on the game, and
without hesitation went to work to
knock out Ives record. 1t was Schaefer
in his old-time form, and it was not
until the Wizard had made Jog points
that he fell down on a hard cushion
draw by a hairs breadth.
Cation could make but four from the
leave, and then Jacob ran the game
out, achieving an average of 40.
The spectators went almost wild. Cat

defeat.

LUETGERT MURDER TRIAL.
THE DEFENDANT GOES ON THE
WITNESS STAND.
Breaks Down and Cries Like a
Of His Married Life.

CHICAGO, Jan. 21.-Adolph L. Luat-
CERT went on the witness stand to-day
and told to the jury the story OF the
doings in his sausage factory the night
of May 1st. in an endeavor to explain
the mystery surrounding the disap-
pearance of his wife, for whose nur-
der he is being tried.
An immense crowd gathered around
the Criminal Courthouse long before
the case was called, but the police al
lowed only those to enter who had
tickets of admission. Judge Gary 3
courtroom was packed. There was an
unusual number of women present.
After relating the story of various
financial deals in which he was inter-
ested, Luetgert was asked if during the
time he was first engaged in business
he was married. Luetgert replied IN
the affirmative.
Il was married to Miss Pauline
Ruelke in 1872" said the defendant.
How do you spell that name?"
"Oh, l don't know. l never could
spell it, was Luetgert's reply.
Attorney Harmon. of counsel for the
defense. then went into Luetgert'S S
financial affairs at the time of Mrs.
Louisa Luetgert's disappearance, and
drew out the statement that Luetgert
was worth about $4,000, exclusive Of
real estate.
Attorney Harmon then asked Luet-
CERT when his first wife had died.
In November. 1871"
and how long Were you widower:"
Until next year, in January"
At this point Luetgert broke down
and commenced crying like a child
Seeing the condition his client was IN
Attorney Harmon asked for recess,
but Judge Gary refused to allow t.
After a few moments Luetgert re-
gained control of himself.
The display of grief drew smiles to
the face of Police Captain Schuettler
who Occupied a seat Immediately behind
the defendant, and the jurors looked on
in astoniShment as Luetgert placed his
face IN his hands and sobbed.
Before you were married where did
you and your little boy Arnold iive?"
was the next question.
It slept in the store myself and my
boy at my rnother-il-law s.
when We're you married the second
time?" Luetgert was then asked.
I'm 1873, to Louise Bicknez."
Thsre was not a trace of emotion IN
the voice OF Luetgert as he mentioned
the name of the woman he is charged
with having murdered.
The defendant then told of the vari-
Gus places he and his wife had lived
and of his going into business at his
latest location in 1879.
The court at this point took a re-
cess.
Nothing important transpired dur
ing the afternoon session, and the ex-
animation of the witness by his at
torney, Mr.. Harmon, was so slow that
when court adjourned nothing per-
tanning to the alleged murder of Mrs
Luetgert had been brought out, though
Luetgerl had been over three hours
on the witness stand. Luetgert proved

of his contention that Mr. McKenna
was not competent to discharge the du-

Supreme bench
Senator Allen had before him the
charges filed with the Committee on
Judiciary, which he read at length.
This comprises a large number of let
ters, some resolutions and the protest
of lawyers and Judges of the Pacific
Coast, charging that McKenna is un-
fitted for the high office of Supreme
Court Justice, on the ground of want
of legal attainments.
He commented at length upon this
latter document, and was interrupted
by Senator Perkins of California, who
read published defense of Judge Nc

he had not, as Judge of the California

There were also other Interruptions

were devoid of general interest.
