SOME EXPANSION PROBLEMS.
Perplexing Questions Concerning the
Status of Adopted Citizens.

Perplexing Questions Concerning the
Status of Adopted Citizens.
Washington, Dec. 2.-The United
States government is being called upon
to face some questions of interest, re-
sulting from the expansion policy The
British government, some time before
the annexation of Hawaii to the Unit
ed States, fled with Hawaii a number
of claims for redress for the ill-treat-
ment and Illegal confinement of British
subjects involved in the revolutionary
movement which overthrow the queen.
These amount to several hundred thou
sand dollars in the aggregate, and the
question is, the Hawaiian government
having failed to settle them, whether
the United States government does not
inherit liability.
Another question of more Importance
is the determination of the status of
some of our newly acquired citizens or
subjects. Already a Chinaman by birth
but Philippine by citizenship, has ap-
piled for recognition as an American
citizen. Another Chinaman in Hawaii
wants a passport showing he is a citi-
zen of the United States. The annex
alton law prohibits the coming into the
limits of the United States Of Chinese
persons from Hawaii, but the constitu-
tionality of any act that proposes to
discriminate among American citizens
has been raised, and this Chinaman is
a citizen by adoption. These are a few
of the questions that have already
arisen, and others are expected to fol-
low in the near future

the rising infection.
Yes, sir
why do you say it is loud?"
Because red is a loud color"

woman who had known the defendant

was in charge of the district nursing
business. She talked like a woman

opinion that defendant is a woman with
a morbid mind, decidedly unbalanced,
suffering from mental disorders
brought about by a complication of
diseases, among them being an alb

absence of pupil in the eyes, among
other things.
The county attorney got very little
satisfaction from this witness, and,
after a brisk ss-eXamination, she
was dismissed.
CAPTAIN La Vielle, an officer of the

He engaged defendant as nurse at one

SHE TOOK HER LITTLE ONE
DISPUTE BETWEEN MR.. AND
MRS. ". v. WOOD.
The Parents Are separated-one
Child Left With the Mother,
and the Other With the Father.

w. V. Wood, a we'll known travelling
man, whose particular line Of work is
sounding the praises of Peacock coal,
was the most violently disturbed, ex-
asperated. angry, excited man in Salt
Lake City yesterday. 1t resulted from
the appearance in the city of his for
mer wife. from whom he is now sepa-
children-two little girls, Helen and
Myra, whose ages are about and Il
ytars.
Mr.. Wood rushed into the police sta
ton in most distracted frame of mind
yesterday afternoon, and rendered him
self as ineligible as his excited condi-
ton would permit. He hurriedly eX-
planned that the mother of his children
had enticed them from st. Marys acad-
envy and was going to take them away
on the 6:25 train, being then at the
KnutsfOrd, making preparations to
leave. He wanted a policeman to go
right down and arrest her. When Ser
geant Tom Hilton caught his breath he
expressed the opinion that the police
had no right to take a hand in the af-
fair, and confirmed his belief upon con-
sultation with Chief Pratt. Wood was
advised, provided he had a right to the
custody of the children, to go TO a law
yer and get out the legal papers that
would hold the children. He left the
station, storming and swearing over
| the predicament in which he was
| placed, and the prospect of losing his
girls. He appeared at the Knutsford a
| few minutes later, and talked excitedIy
| but shortly afterwards withdrew, wise
| ly concluding not to enact q scene with
the woman, who appeared about $50
with the younger child and drove away
| in a carriage, presumably for the de-
pot, although her departure was not
noted at either the Short Line or Rio
! Grande. She registered at the hotel
| as Mrs. A. 3. Eaton of Chicago.
The children have been at ST. Mary's
acaderay for about two years by direc-
ton of the father, although the mother
| has not been refused access to them,
! She called at the school yesterday. and
! expressed pleasure upon learning Of the
progress they had made in their stud
| les. She obtained permission to take
them to the hotel, without intimatine
any intention of removing them from
| the city. 1t appears that Mrs. Eaton
asked the children to go with her to
Chicago, showed the older child a pa
per, which, it is said, was a court de-
| cree giving her the custody of the
children. The younger child expressed
| her Willingness to remain but the older
one went back to the school, taking
with her the document, which she ex-
hibited to one of the sisters. Later on
the paper was returned upon request
of Mrs. Eaton. The head sister consid-
cred that she had no right to keep the
little one, and promptly turned over her
effects Mrs. Eaton, while at the school
expressed her intention of taking the
7:45 Rio Grande train for Chicago last
evening.

HEARING IN THE POLICE COURT
CONCLUDED YESTERDAY.
Fred a. Turner Arrested For Beating
His Wife-An Incorrigible Girl
Dean Carr's Case-Police Etchings.

After hearing the testimony in the
case of NJ. F. GilIen. charged with forg-
ing the name of Joseph Dederichs. a
well-known contractor, to check for
S15.S5. Judge Timmony found sufficient
evidence to order him held to the grand
iary, fixing his bond at $500, which he
failed to furnish and was sent to the
county Jail
John Spencer, who runs restaurant
on Second South between Second and
Third West, testified to the circum-
stance of cashing the check, which he
received from Mrs. Gillen, with Gillen's
endorsement. At McCornick's bank the
check was thrown out, as Dederichs'
signature was plainly a forgery. Gillen
held to the story that he received the
check from one John Moran. who
claimed to be a foreman for Dederichs.
They had been drinking around at the
saloons, Gillen declared, and Moran
gave him the note at his home in lieu
of financial favors extended. He had
not known Moran previous to that oc-
casion, and could not tell of his pres
ent location.
James OReilly. a saloonkeeper at 1927
South State, testified to having cashed
a check for SIS presented by Gillen and
bearing Dederichs' signature, which
also proved to be a forgery.
JI7Se Timmony. in giving his de-
cisicn. expressed the opinion that the
acquaintance between GiIlen and the
! alleged Moran was altogether too brief
to warrant the belief that the latter
would have given Gillen the check

Before Judge Hiles, the case of Sam
uei Mcintyre VS.. the Ajax Mining COM
pany was on trial yesterday. This is
an action where plaintiff sues to re-
cover 81, Geo. alleged to be due. De-
PENDANT filed an answer and cross
complaint, setting UP that, by fraudu-
lent representations, Mcintyre obtained
$4,000 shares of stock of the company,

agreement and compel plaintiff TO re-
store the same to the treasury.
The pleadings in the case are extern

/ saw one just like it at her home, but
1 could not say she took it,
Miss Celia Swenson made an excel
lent witness for the defense. She has
an air. of frankness and cander, while
on the stand, her answers are clear
and distinct and her language excel
lent. She declared she had known the
defendant since 1897, in June. at which
time she was at wisness' home nurs-
ing. She had visited there many times
afterward. Later witness took care Of
her when she was i'll.
Her general physical condition was
one of extreme nervousness, which
constantly increased and witness, be-
lieving it was caused by the high alti-
tude, advised her to go to a lower one,
believing she would be benefited by the
change. She believed the defendant to
be a woman OF unsound mind. She was
always melancholy and continually
longing for death, and several times
questioned witness as to the best means
of committing suicide, without allow
ing medical men to find out causes.
Just prior to her arrest, she acted
like a woman who was crazy She did
not believe defendant used narcot-
!cs.
Cross-examined by Mr.. Van Colt, the
first and most important question was:
did you ever have any attempt
made to send her to an asylum
mo"
why did you not, if you believed
she was insane?"
Because 1 did not know people were
sent to the asylum unless they were
violent"
Witness and Mr. Van Colt then had a
little conversational encounter over the
quality of one of Miss Mathis silk
waists, witness denominating it as loud.

PRESIDENT McUNE HOME.
Forty Miles an Hour Over the New
Track.

Track.
Hon. A. W. McCune returned last
evening from making an inspection of
the track of the Utah & Pacific rail-
road as far as laid. He was accom-
panied on the tour by Chief Engineer
O'Melveney, Superintendent Joe Young
and Master Mechanic Tollerton Of the
Oregon Short Line Railroad company.
The new track was found in excellent
condition, and really frst-class piece
of work. The train carrying Mr. Nc
Cune, and his friends ran over it at the
rate of forty miles an hour, as indi-
Gated by the meter in the cars, and it
was smooth, easy and pleasant riding.
twenty miles of the new track from
Milford is laid, reaching a point little
beyond the Hot Springs. The work is
progressing at the rate of nearly a mile
day. Forty Eight stations is the ex-
act distance, fifty-two stations making
mile. At that rate the rails will be
in Sulphur Springs, thirty-two miles
from Milford, about Dee. Il or 49, The
weather down there is beautiful-no
frost in the ground, and nothing so far
to retard the work. The people in the
south are feeling pretty happy over the
advent of the new road, and the pros
pect of the new markets it will open
up for their products. Sulphur Springs
IS already becoming a settlement of
Importance, and as soon as the tracks
reach that point, others will make that
place their home.

federal court yesterday by O. L. Davies
of Colorado Springs, against the Con-
solidated Mining & STnei ting company

ing &. Investment company.
1t is alleged that the Consolidated
Mining &, Smelling company executed
to the plaintiff a promissory note for

giving as security a mortgage on 2l9
acres Of land and tenements, in town
ship 10, Box Elder county, and certain
irrigation water rights in Gibbs can
yon, in the same county. Nothing has
been paid on the note. except the in
terest accruing Nov. l. 1897, and the
principal and interest from that date
remains due. The California Wire
Works and American Mining & Invest
ment company claim an interest in the
mortgaged premises, but it is alleged
such interest has accrued since the
aforesaid mortgage was acquired, and
is subject to the claims of the plaintiff.
The court is asked to give judgment
and issue an order for the foreclosure
of the mortgage.
