property, was Immediately rearrested.
He is wanted in Wheeling, W. Va,

he deserted after swindling them out
of their money While at Wheeling
he is charged with having poisoned
his wife six weeks after their marriage.
Chicago furnished two wives, who,
it is alleged, were quickly disposed Of
and their money or property taken.
Dotz married the West Virginia
woman under the name of Henry
blessings. Her sudden death caused
considerable comment at the time,
and when few mornings later the
husbands watch and clothing were
found on the banks of the Ohio River,
it was thought he had committed
suicide. 1t was not until Dotz was
sent to the Bridewell year ago, when
the case was written up in the papers,
that the falsity of the suicide theory
was discovered A photograph was
sent to Wheeling, and the Martin
Dotz of the Brdewell was found to be
Henry Doesing, the missing Virginian.
Directly after the Wheeling episode
Dotz went to Milwaukee, where the
police assert, he married MaXimiliana
Sperl, of Chicago; Elizabeth Schmitz,
of Milwaukee, and Caroline Schneider
of New York, all of whom he deserted
after persuading them to give him
their money.
His next matrimonial partner was
Chicago woman, possessing $12, 600

name the bigamist is said to have
used this time. A few weeks after
the marriage Mrs. Poh suddenly died,
leaving all her property, which was
incumbered by mortgage of So, 900, to
her husband, who disposed of it to
A. p. Pichreau, a real estate dealer.
The negotiations had hardly been
completed when Poh married young
woman residing on the South Side.
who was said to possess ST 900 in her
own name, all of which Dotz for this
was the name he now used. appropri-
ated.
At this point his matrimonial ex-
periences were cut short by his arrest
and conviction before Judge Water
man for disposing of mortgage1 goods.

The prosecuting attorneys have
presented vigorous protests against
the pardoning of Paul Clifford and
David Morrow of this county and
they will do all that they can to pre-
vent the pardon being granted.
There is decidedly too much nav
kish sentiment in the granting of
pardons and it is to be hoped that
the board will not err in this direc-
ton. When a man has been con
victed after fair trial much less
when he has confessed to a crime he
should not be pardoned unless en-
tirely new evidence of very weigh
ty character is produced to make it
necessary. He should suffer the
consequences of his misdeeds no
matter what grounds he may have
for our sympathy and pity.

Even SO conservative paper as
the Philadelphia Ledger, which be
lieves in adequate protection to
American Industries, cannot endorse
the Dingley schedules on lumber.
"To state the plain truth plainly
it says, "the duty on lumber is OF
like nature with many others, which
were fixed by rapaeious spectators
for the sole purpose Of despoiling
the people, and written on the tariff
schedule at the behest of powerful
lobbyists. In many instances over
protected wares are sold by the pro.
tected and fostered trusts to foreign
ers at a lower price than at home. 2

Mormon elders are having hard
time OF it in the South. In Georgia
and Tennessee they have been mob
bed and driven out. They have APP
pealed to the Governor Of Georgia
for protection which he will probably
give to the extent Of maintaining
law and order rather than to pro
mote their cause. 1t will be remem-
bered that circuit Judge in this
state some years ago ruled that a
conviction could not be had for dis
turbing religious worship in case
where Mormon service had been in
terrupted. The effect Of this decis
ion is that Mormon service is not
religious worship.

Prof. Langley's Experiment Not as Success
fulas Expected.
Washington, May 12.-Prof. S. P.
Langley, secretary of the Smithsonian
Institution, who was given $4,000 by
the board of ordnance to experiment
with his flying machine for war pur-
poses, made his first test at Quantico,
Va, yesterday. Prof. Langley with the
amount of money placed at his disposal
built new and larger machine than
that with which he experimental two
years ago. The machine was launched
from the top of house boat anchored
in broad sweep Of the Potomac about
three-fourths of a mile from the island
owned by the Quantico Rod and Gun
Club. The result was not so successful
as were Prof. Langley's former expert
ments with the smaller machine The
machine scared to height of 500 feet,
but descended after a horizontal flight
of 500 feet. His former machine, which
propelled by a small steam engine, flew
three-quarters of a mile and only de-
scended when the steam was exhaust
ed. 1t was understood that Prof Lang
ley was to overcome the limited power
capacity of the former machine by the
use of a condensing engine which could
repeatedly utilize the condensed steam
from the boiler.

HARVEY IN JAIL

Numbering Three Persons

He Has Been Held for Trial on Charges OF
Numbering Three Persons.
Howard City, Mich, May 12.-Josepn
Harvey, murderer of his grandmother,
uncle and wife, who also fatally wound
ed his father-in-law and tried to COM
nit suicide, was taken to the county
Jail at Stanton today after being ar
raigned before a justice of the peace.
He waived examination and was held
for trial. The young man slept sound
ly all last night and when questioned
to-day by weeping relatives, he express
ed no emotion over his atrocious
crimes. He has given TO evidence
whatever of insanity, saying only that
Pierson, his uncle, abused him and
quarreled with him because he had
been driving Persons horse in the
rain. He insists that his dead uncle
killed his grandmother and that he
then killed his uncle out of revenge.
He says he is sorry he killed his wife,
but did it because he intended to kill
himself and didn't want her to live af-
ter he was gone.
Aside from having a fiery temper
Harvey was not known to have any
vicious traits.

GRAMMAR ON TOP.
The American Piunger Wins . Large Sum

The American Plunger Wins q Large Sum
on Tod Sloan's Mounts
London, May 12.-While Tod Sloan
was doing his part on the track yester-
day his admirers were backing him like
men possessed in the ring. Riley Gran
nan, the Kentucky plunger, started off
by winning neat sum on Florio Rub
battino in the first race. He bet the
entire amount for the second and was
more than 100000 winner when the
odds for the Breeders plate, the third
race, were posted.
Grammar stuck to Sloan throughout
the day and must have lost a fair-sized
sum on Tod's losing mounts. Some esti-
mate his losses in the latter part of the
afternoon at about $4,000, and Charles
Dryers at $4,000. Grammar is believ-
ed to have won more than 100000 on
the first three races, so he doubtless
won about $125,000 on the day.
The manner in which Grammar bets
fabulous sums on the turning of hair
and never betrays the least excitement
or nervousness is puzzling to the aver
age British turf follower.

New York. May AZ. lin spite of AZ
the influential opponents Of the ordina-
ton Of Rev. DR.. Briggs. who have let
Bishop Potter know how they feel about
his proposed advancement to the priest
hood, the statement is made positively
that the ordination will take place next
Sunday. Direct information from the
only authentic source. Bishop Potter,
cannot be obtained. but it is expected
that to-day the Bishop will announce
the church at which the ceremony Will
be held. In that case representatives
of the opposition to DR.. Briggs will be
present to make formal protest.
Bishop Potter gave out the following
formal notice to-day:
1.-THE Rev. Dr. Briggs and the Rev.
Chas. H. Snedeker will be ordained on
the day officially appointed by the bish-
op of New York, May IA, at the Pro-
Cathedral, Staunton street, New YORK,
at 10:45 a. m. The Rev. George w.
Douglass will preach the ordination SER
mon. The Rev. DR.. Cornelius B. Smith
will present DR.. Briggs and Rev. Or.
George Francis Nelson will present Mr..
Snedeker.
Bishop Potter chose the Pro-Cathe-
dral as the place for the ordination be-
cause DR.. Briggs had asked to be as
signed to work there and will work
there in future.
The Churchman of this week says:
"The sensational stories that have
appeared in the daily press with re-
gard to the ordination of DR.. Briggs
suggests the necessity of a right judg-
ment in the premises.
.sThe Rev. Dr. Briggs was ordained
to the deaconate last year, having met
all canonical requirements, and after
having been recommended by stand
ing committee composed of the Revs.
Drs. Morgan Dix, Thomas R. Harris,
Octavius Apologize and j. S. Shipman,
and Messrs. Stephen p Nash, G. Mac
Caulloch Miller, S. Nicholson Kane
and Herman C. Van Post. He has met
all the requirements for advancement
to the priesthood and has been recon-
mended again by this same committee,
with only one change in its compost
ton, Mr.. George Seabriskie having
been elected to fill the vacancy caused
by the death of DR.. Nash.
Many persons having been disturbed
by the passages quoted in the daily
papers from DR.. Briggs's late book, it
passages appear to be wrested from
their true setting"
