PRISONERS In JERUSALEM.
Kansas People Who Are in the
Clutches of Fanatics to BE Rescued.

Topeka, Kan, Jan. H.-George Heyde,
of Lebanon Smith county, Kansas, secured
from Governor Leedy to-day certificate
of his citizenship in Kansas to enable him to
go to Jerusalem for the purpose of rescuing
David Yantis from religious organization
which pretends to be rebuilding Jerusalem
for the second coming of Christ. Yantis
formerly resided at Lebanon, but was in
duced to accept the teachings of the new
faith and departed for Jerusalem two years
ago with his wife and ten neighbors The
peculiar religion referred to is said to have
been conceived in America by Mr.. and Mrs.
James SpoffOrd, of Chicago, who esta blished
the colony at Jerusalem. The hardShipS ex-
perienced by the colonistS are unparalleled
The twelve Smith county people turned over
a little more than $4,000 and started to
Jerusalem penniless. Arriving at the scene
of their new labors, the husbands and wives
were separated and all laws of morality
were abolished. Information concerning the
true condition of affairs has been kept from
the friends OF the Kansans by scrutinizing
all letters which are sent out. Believing
that their relatives are in woeful condition
and would appreciate an opportunity to
come home, Mr.. Heyde has taken the saw
ings of years and will start to Palestine to
rescue them. He is accompanied by John
Yantis. of Ames, Neb., a brother of one OF
the victims.

THE CARTER COURT-MARTIAL.
Testimony of Captain Gillette Con-
cerning Alleged Faulty Work.

SAVANNAH, Ga, Jan. H.-Captain Cas-
sius e. Gillette was the first witness in the
Carter courtmartial this morning. He was
on the stand some time and testified as to
the work under his supervision and relative
to the method by which it was done by the
Atlantic Contracting Company. He told Of
the work on Cumberland sound being taken
out of his jurisdiction. He recited the facts
incident to his inspection of mattress for
the Cumberland island work and said it was
not constructed as tightly as it should have
been. Before he could reply to a query
from Judge Advocate Barr as to the prob
able cost of the mattress inspected, Carter's
attorneys interposed an objection to the
question and its relevancy was argued for
some time.
General Otis announced that the court
would not sustain the objection. The ques-
ton as to the intrinsic value of the mat
tress in question was then asked CAPTAIN
Gillette again. He said it was not UP to
specifications and in his judgment cost the
contractors from 10 to Is cents a square
about three thousand square yards or more
and at the contract rate Captain Gillette
said would cost the government about So 600
He also testified to having forbidden the

THE NI'KENNA CASE.
Features of the Speeches Made Inv
Senator's HOnr. White nnd Allen

WASHINGTON, Jan. 14.-Almost The on
tire four hours of the executive session of
the Senate to-day We're devoted to the indi
rect consideration of the nomination of Hon
Joseph McKenna, now attorney general to
be associate justice of the Supreme Court
The discussion was the result of an effort
on the part of Senator Allen, of Nebraska
to secure postponement for two weeks. In
the end a compromise was reached defer
ring consideration until week from TODAY
on condition that the Nebraska senator
should agree to allow a vote to be taken on
that day. The Hawaiian treaty was not
touched upon during the session.
The debate on Mr.. McKenna's nomination
was precipitated by Senator Hoar. chair
man OF the committee Judiciary who
called up the nomination in accordance with
his notice of yesterday and asked for i'm
mediate action. In doing this Mr. Hoar
spoke briefly of the opposition to Mr., Nc
henna, saying that the judiciary committee
had investigated most of the charges made
and had reached the conclusion that thew
were without foundation. He said that the
greater number of charges had been made
by the members of the American Protective
Association. and that as they had been
founded solely on the fact that Mr. McKen-
ma was a Catholic in religion they had not
been deemed worthy of serious considera
ton. Mr.. Hoar dwelt at some length on this
point. excoriating any men who would at
tempt to inject question of religion into
a controversy over mans fitness for Office.
He said that such an effort was entirely un-
American and unpatriotic. and should not
for moment receive the consideration of
fair-minded men.
Senator White. of California, also spoke
of the effort of the A. p. A. to interfere
with the course of the Senate. in giving
proper attention to a question the determi
nation Of which should depend on considera-
tions of fitness and justice as between man
and man, rather than on an appeal TO big
otry. prejudice and false claims OF patriot
ism. He spoke of the Apaists as fools
who could not be properly characterized in
the Senate" He had no patience, he said.

with men who held the opinion that Cath
ollcs must necessarily consult the Pope or
some other high functionary of the Cath
oiic Church in every important transaction
OF their lives, and added that he was con
Vinced that the American Senate would not
be influenced for moment by such repre-
sentations as ar order of the character of
lne A +. A. would make. Mr.. Mckenna
continuation should depend entirely on dli-
Ierent considerations AS for himself, while
he did not contend that Mr.. McKenna was
a giant in his legal attachments. still ne be-
heved him TO be an honorable man, COM
petent lawyer and just jurist and ne
should support his nomna ton.
1t was here that Mr.. Allen interposed an
objection TO immediate action. When his
request for two weeks delay was met with
refusal he took the floor and proceeded to
give his reasons for the request which were
in the main that he wanted and he thought
the Senate should have more time for con-
sideration than had been given them. He
called attention TO the Importance of the
office to which Mr.. McKerna had been
would occupy probably during the remain
der of his life, and that the Senate and the
American public had a. right 10 demand
that the charges should be sifted to the
bottom. He said that So far as the oppoSi-
tion of the A. =. A. was concerned 1t did
not influence him in the least, and he agreed
with all that had been said as TO the inn
propriety of any interference in matters of
this character on account of religious
prejudlces or predictions. There We're still
other charges which were, to his mind, far
more serious, and to prove that such was
the case he read at length from letters
and newspapers attacking Mr. McKennas 5
record as an attorney and jIrist on the
ground of want of legal attalnments The
greater part of Mr.. Aliens speech was de-
voted to reading these documents. He called
especial attention to an attack made by
the bar of the Pacific coast, which, he said,
was deserving of more scrutiny than had
been given it. He also stated that he had
understood that the charge had been made
that large corporations had been instru-
mental In securing Mr.. McKennas nomina-
ton. He thought this matter also should
be looked into more thoroughly than the
Senate had had opportunity to do. Mr..
Allen disclaimed any intention to father any
of the charges maze, but asserted that his
sole purpose was to secure time for their
proper investigation. He added that he
might himself vote for Mr.. McKennas con-
tirmation, but said that before doing so he
desired to be convinced that the assF ions
made derogatory to Mr.. McKenna's char
acter as jurist were without foundation.
1t was 4:39 in the afternoon before an
agreement was reached for concluding the
McKenna matter at the sitting on next Fri
day. and by general consent the Senate
postponed consideration of the Hawaiian
treaty until next Monday.

THE LUETGERT CASE.
Direct Testimony in Behalf of the
Prosecution Concluded Yesterday.

CHICAGO, Jan. H-Direct testimony on
the part of the state against Adoiph L.
Luetgert, the alleged wife murderer, was
finished to-day after 1873 hours in court. Dr.
Dorsey was the last witness, and his cross
examination by Attorney Harmon resulted
disastrously to the defense, the sausage
makers lawyer bringing out emphatic relt-
erations of matter material to the states
case. When DR.. Dorsey finished Mr.. Har-
mon objected 10 the introduction of all the
evidence and testimony which had been
covered by the state, q motion which the
court overruled. and then the lawyer after
excepting asked that the state put Louis
Luetgert on the stand his contention being
that his name was on the back of the in
dictment. Assistant States Attorney Nc
Evan replied that when as a lawyer he
produced witness he vouched for his
truthfulness, and that as he could not
vouch for the integrity of Louis Luetgert
he declined to put him on the stand. The
court agreed with the prosecution and then
notified Mr.. Harmon that he must be ready
to proceed tomorrow morning.
