SURPRISE AT SAN FRANCISCO.
The Manila story Concerning the
Manaunse Not Credited.

SAN FRANCISCO, Cal, Nov. 8-Trans-
port officials at this port are at loss to
explain the alleged unseaworthy condition
OF the transport Manaunse, whose arrival
at Manila was reported yesterday rep
resentative of the Associated Press inter-
viewed a number of officials to-day and in
every instance the alleged unseaworthi-
ness, undermanned and underprovisioned
condition of the vessel was ridculed. 1t
was stated the Manaunse was in first-class
condition when she left this port, on Oct
26. Her engines had been thoroughly over
hauled and her fittings were in the best of
condition. She was thoroughly provisioned
in the cabin, enough supplies being taken
for six-months trip. Her hold was full Of
supplies for the soldiers and the officials
are at a loss to explain the alleged short
ness of food. That she was undermanned
is absolutely denied because had she been
clearance papers from this port would not
have been issued. AS a general rule trans
ports leaving this port are il anything
cversupplied with working crews.
Regarding the alleged unseaworthiness OF
the vessel is can be stated that she was
thorougly inspected by the Treasury De-
partment and was passed as in f1rst-class
trim. Lloyd's local inspector, Captain Met
calf also inspected the vessel and passed
her. The local inspectors of hulls and boil
ers say they made an examination and
found her engines in excellent condition
and. in fact. the Manaunse was generally
credited with being one o. the best fitted
vessels in the transport service. The
officials say further that the only
source of foundation for the report that
she was under-provisioned may have been
with regard TO her supply of fresh meat.
of which she took good supply from here
but which may have been spoiled from
some accident to the refrigerating plant.
which gave SINE trouble at Honolulu.
II the typhoon through which the Man
aunse passed was a severe one it is not at
all unlikely that some accident might have
happened to her machinery, necessitating
its shutting down for several days, so
that repairs could be effected. This is the
only explanation obtainable regarding the
reported rotten condition of her machinery.
1t is even argued here that the fact that the
Manaunse lived through the typhoon is
enough to contradict the story OF her un-
seaworthiness.

CARROLLS WON TWO.
Excellent Games Bowled ON the In
stitute Alleys.


From every standpoint three excellent
games were bowled in the District League
series at Carroll Institute Monday night.
Those old-time giants, the Saengerbund and
Carroll Institute fves. in past seasons hav
ing the championship solely at their dis
posal. struggled for supremacy, and Carroll
got the decision, winning two Of three
games. Two records were made for the
seasons bowling. German reached 226 in
the opening game, a point untouched in
league playing SO far this fall, and the Car
rolls total of S6i stands highest to date. 1t
Is quite likely that both of these records
will be exceled before the final games are
played, next April, but these scores are
good enough, to have been made SO early.
While both sides bowled the same number
of spares in the opening game, and the Car
rolls had but three more strikes than the
Saengers, the large difference in the score
is first-class demonstration of the de-
STABILITY of punching strikes. German,
with six strikes to his credit. had four in
succession. and on each of the others added
spare. Likewise Rice put several of his
together. and in only one instance did
Carroll player fail to make good on a
strike. On the other hand, Saenger would
strike and then succeed 1t with a break
Berens performed this feat three times
and Hoeke broke after a double-header
Thus is the discrepancy in the score ex-
planned.
The score follows.

No COnVict1On since Amnesty.
The gentleman from Ohio has no court
record to show that l was ever arraigned
or condemned of crime whatsoever since the
PRONUNCIATION of the amnesty proclamation
of the President of the United States The
gentleman seems also to forget the fact
that since the confession of that INSIDE
meanor to which he has referred there was
passed by Congress an enabling act author
1Zing the people of the state of Utah to
form a state government. That enabling
act also had provision embodied in 1t
that qualified all citizens within the limits
of the territory to become citizens of the
United States, and was particularly framed
to remove the disqualification and disabilt-
ties which have been created by the Ed
munds-Tucker law. The gentleman seems
to forget also that the state constitution of
Utah was satisfactory to the President and
his advisers, and Utah has been admitted
as a state into the Union, and has taken
upon itself the responsibilities of a sover-
eign state. declaring under its constitution

Only Misdemeanor Charged.

st call your attention next to the fact
that the only charge against me, even by
the proponents of this resolution, is that Of
a misdemeanor. They do not >charge a
felony. 1 understand that the members OF
Congress are granted certain privileges
while in attendance upon this House. 1t
would be impossible to arrest any one Of
the members upon the charge of a INSIDE
meanor. And yet you would deny me the
privilege of being sworn as member OF
this House upon the allegation of the ex-
istence of some charge or other that l was
guilty of misdemeanor. For the thing
for which the law itself could not lay a
hand on me while in attendance upon this
House you PROPOSE speak of the little
coterie Of men who have entered into this
conspiracy to crowd this question TO the
front at this particular time, and for the
reason that they are fearful that IL the
matter should go to a consideration under
a resolution to expel the member from Utah
they could not marshal the necessary two
thirds vote to accomplish their purpose-to
pass the present resolution.
81 understand, sir. that these immunities
are not given for the benefit Of the individ-
uaI members. They are given rather as
protection to his constituency who are en-
titled to his services as their representative.
And therefore invoke the protection that
is given to the constituency of a sovereign
state against the proceedings that are in
stituted here to deprive me of the privilege
of being sworn In as q member of this
House. Privilege. did say. sir! I am not

"Persistent Law Breaker

THE second charge, which is supposed
to go to the question of eligibility of the
member from Utah, is that upon affidavit
and other papers in his possession, the gen.
tleman from Ohio says that ever since 1889
/ have been a persistent lawbreaker in the
state of Utah. If that be true let me ask
why it is that l was not punished for law
breaking? Certainly there was no DISPOSE
ton not to execute the law on the part of
the people of Utah. Its administration was
in the hands of non-Mormons, of those who
had sympathy with men of my relig !ous
faith. All the machinery of the law was
in the hands of federal appointees. How
is it, then that could be an open and de-
iant lawbreaker, and yet escape the PEN
atty of law?
THE gentleman's objection, then, is based
not upon court record, but upon affidavits
and papers that have been supplied him by
the people.
And now as to the manner in which
these charges are made. 1t has been about
fifteen months since they began, since the
representative from Utah was heralded
throughout this land a defiant law
breaker And yet L walked the streets of
Salt Lake in open day, within easy reach
of the law, and my faults lay open to the
law if were guilty of transgressing. Other
men were arrested before the courts of
Utah and were fined for the very offense
alleged against me. and yet no complaint
was made against me. No, II did not suit
the purpose Of those who had this present
agitation in hand to vlndicate the law
quietly and by the usual nethod. They de-
sired particularly TO have this case upon
which apparently to arouse the sentiment
of the country. Not until my business
called me east did they undertake to make
any charges against me. But the moment,
or shortly after my departure, they began
this agitation, resulting in the present
sentiment of the country now aroused
against me.
