SAYS CARTER is INNOCENT.
Chairman Wisner, of Deep Waterway
Commission, Talks of the
Case.

DETROIT. MICH. Oct. 25.-Chairman
George Y. Wisner, of the deep waterways
commission, in an interview tonight on
tile verdict of guilty rendered against
Captain o. NJ. Carter the government en-
gneer who was charged with embezzle-
n:snt in connection with the Savannah har-
bd Improvements, stated he thought Cart
er the victim of an outrage. Mr.. Wisner
was employed as an expert witness at the
cdIrt-martial of Captain Carter, and in
Connection herewith he made an exhaust
iv, investigation into Carter's work at Sa-
vannah. Said Mr.. Wisner:
when Carter asked me TO make an in
vetgation at Savannah I refused, telling
hin I should tell exactly what 1 found.
He insisted L had been prejudiced against
hin. After I had been over the proliles,
contracts and surveys and made a survey
OF the area covered by the improvements
fof myself was perfectly convinced that
the government had received full value for
all money expended. I was not the only
engineer who thought so, for General
Craighill. General Ludlow. Major Rosen,
Major Marshall, Major Mahan, Captain
Townsend. Captain Rees and Major Ham
bury and lot of the contractors who had
failed to get in the contracts, appeared and
testified in his favor"
In conclusion Mr.. Wisner said the only
thing Carter was guilty of was the cut
ting of red tape on several occasions, all
done, however, for the benefit of the gov
ernment, and to save It money.

Carmack, who has just returned from the

decided on needed lots of ready cash, but
Carmack has it Ito burn
Carmack and his wife and retinue wend-
ed their way to the top of the Seattle
hotel with a large supply of coin, and
then proceeded to have what they very
evidently considered a good time, and un-
questionably the effect of the nrst shower
of coin into the streets was amusing, In
q few moments there was a scramble that
would have put a college cane rush in the
shade. As the merry jingle Of coins re-
sounded, the pieces bounding from the
pavements on to the streets. men dived
from the sidewalks and off the passing
street cars and butcher carts. and team
sters hurled themselves into the air from
seats, conductors and motormen forgot

last to emerge after the storm was

came out soiled and torn. But in his hands
he had S11, which he thought would rec
ompense him for his expeience. One man
went into the scramble with a good hat

All this time Carmack and his native
Alaskan relatives were splitting them
selves with laughter in their apartments
at the top of the hotel. Having nothing
but money. they knew Of no better way

meeting for the purpose Of electing
delegates TO the meeting OF the SUI
frage Woman's Association OF Utah
county to be held the following Tues

One of the objects Of the meeting
was stated to be to'consider the charges
that have been made against the com
potency OF female officers and the
statements current that the suffrage
women Of Utah county will not support
any women who may run for office.
The organization is confident that 1t
can effect much good and gucceed in
dIspelling any rumors as to the lncom-

the suffrage women OF Utah county are
willing to support that candidate for

ty will guarantees -- fsS-,yjs..-sIad eli.
Gent discharge of duties Incumbent on
such officials.
