His Being seated-Claim That He

Special 10 The Herald. J


New York, Oct. 5.-Women who have
taken a prominent part in the protest
against the acceptance of Brigham H.
Roberts as a member of the United
States house of representative from
Utah, will meet tomorrow at $3.50 p. m.
in the Home for the Friendless in East
Twenty ninth street to take steps to
interest other women in the fight. Adj
dresses are to be made by Mrs. Darwin
r. James. president of the wonen's
board of home missions of the Pres
byterian church, and Mrs. Fred Smith
Bennett of Englewood, N. j. The call
for the meeting issued by the commit
tee in charge says:
Whether we are to have this Nor
mon representative-elect an alleged
polygamis and consequently a law
breaker, in our next congress, is a
question which the people of the
country must shortly decide. He viii
present his credentials to membership,
and if then two-thirds of the repre-
sentatives rise in protest, his seat will
be vacant.
1.-THE ground on which the opposition
to him is carried forward is that since
the admission of Utah as a state. one
stipulation of such admission being
that there should be no further polyg-
amous marriages, he has taken to him
self two polygamous Wives"

Ooo-Attorney General Griggs'
Statement of the Case and En-
dorsement of Sentence.

Washington, Oct. 5.-The opinion of At
torney General Griggs, in the case OF Cap
tain Oberlin NJ. Carter of the army, upon
which the president approved the finding
of the courtmartial. was made public to-
day. The opinion discusses in great de-
tail the evidence adduced against Captain
Carter and combats- the arguments set up
in behalf of the culprit.
Summing up many of the specihcatlonS,
including Captain Carter's intimacy with
Green and the Gaynors, the method OF
advertising for the work and of letting
the contracts; the charter OF the Atlantlc'
Contracting company; the large pronts
made on the contracts, ETC., the attorney
general says that they might justly De
considered as failing to fix upon the ac-
cused knowledge and purpose TO defraud
the government, if it were shown that ne
had no corrupt personal motives that he
had not been profited by these loose meth
DDS and irregular and questionable pro-,
ceedingS.
He then shows that in 1891 the captain S,
salary was only $252 per month, and from,
that time forward his personal expenses
increased very rapidly, being $6,0f7 in 1881
and $29,6l1 in 1886. The fact is also point
ed out that in 1892 Captain Carter began
to make notably large deposits in the
Union Trust company of New YORK ana
also TO buy securities. his investments
increasing until 1885, when his holdings
had increased to a market value OF

FIEND'S FRIGHTFUL WORK.
Negro Assaults White Woman, Then
Beats Her Brains Out.

Maysville, KY, Oct. 6.-Mrs. Mary Lash
brook, the wife of well to do warmer.
and a member of one of the Oldest famil-
les in this county, was outraged and
murdered yesterday at her home at
Clark station, six miles from here.
While alone at home she went to an
clubhouse ard while there it is believed
that one or more tranps WHO have been,
in the neighborhood for several days at
acked her After the outrage hsl ass all
ants secured a club and beat out the
wofbaD's brains.
Late last right the officers brought in
Eichard Coleman, a yodng negro, who
has confessed to having murdered Mrs.
Lashbrook They were able to get him
into the Jail through a mob of 800 people
only by telling the crowd they were rot
sure of oleman's guilt. 1t is doubtful
whether they will be able to save the
negro's life.
At o'clock this (Fridayl morning the
mob broke down the Jail. The first man
TO enter was thrown out by the guards
inside, who then stood off the crowd with
drawn guns.

SECOND DAY WITH HORSES.
Scoring of Fine Animals Attracts
Great Interest.

The enclosure in front of the grand
stand was a center of attraction yes
terday morning and afternoon while
the judges. James Rae, Samuel Paul
and ]. W MeHenry, were sizing up
the merits Of handsome standard bred
trotting, pure blood and graded draft,
carriage and other classes Of horses. To
the strains of Held's military band the
animals danced and pranced as proudly
as the best horses in the land would,
and the sight was very gratifying to
lovers of fine equines.
The determination Of the judges To
pass ne horse for a premium in the
standard or thoroughbred classes with
out accompanying proof of qualifica-
ton for entry in the class was in the
nature of an innovation in the horse
judging line at Utah fairs, but the
wisdom OF the action was apparent to
all. Supervisor Palfreyman and As
sistant Supervisor Devine endorsed the
conclusion of the Judges, which, in
every case. was as fair as the tests
were severe. There was general salts
faction among the exhibitors at the
awards recommended by the judges.

Manila, Oct. 5-Aguinaldo, according
to. report brought to Manila today by
a. Dominican friar from the north, has
issued orders to the Filipino soldiers
IN the northern provinces to return to
their towns and to resume farming.
This story lacks confirmation, but the
rumor may be in accordance with
Aguinaldo's policy of keeping the coun-
FRY as productive as possible by using
MS men in alternate shifts on the farms
and under arms.
Dagupan, San Fernando and Deli
elnicet, which are under the guns of
the United States warsflips are sup
posed to be evacuated 1t is alleged
that the evacuation order calls upon
the; male inhabitants to be orderly in
case Of the arrival of the American
troops, and expresses the hope that
the Americans will protect the towns.
b The archbishop of Manila notified
General Otis that there was a plet on
foot to burn the residences of the gov
ernor general and the archbishop, to-
gether with several government build
tngs and banks, but the plot failed to
n1aterialize, possibly because of dis
play of force.
Reports Were Exaggerated.
The first reports regarding the affair
at Paranque last night appear to have
been much exaggerated. The facts are
that a small band of insurgents fol-
lowing the bay road poured a volley
into the village, and later another into
Los Pinos, with the result that two or
three houses were burned. The crack
ing of the bamboo caused it to be re-
ported in Manila that there had been
much shooting.
The United States gunboat Wheeling,
from Vancouver, March g. via Homo
lulu, while passing st. aVincent, in
northern Luzon, shot down a.Filipino,
flag. The Filipinos fired a volley at 1.-The
Wheeling's men who were sleeping ON
deck, and the Wheeling bombarded the
settlement. &
The expedition sent to the Orani river

harding Orani and landing a force.
Captain Cornwen brought one prisoner.

On Monday morning the expedition

itants of the,town simultaneously eVac-
uating it and carrying their belongings
with them. The gunboats bonbarded !,
Orani, the beaches and the surrounding
country for half an hour, receiving a
Mauser yolley in return.
The Urdaneta was towedIoff the bar
about 10 o'clock that evening, the oper-
atoms of the Americans being unmo-
les.aS.
The following morning the lombard
ment was reoDened to cover a landing /
of $50 bluejackets and marines, about
half mile above the town. On enter
ing Orani the Americans experienced a |
slight rifle fire from the Filipinos in the
trenches. They found the town unten-
anted and that the shells had ignited a !

How He Got His Money.

Mr.. Griggs does not accept Captain Car
ter's explanation that he Was dtsaling In
the securities with the funds of his ia
ther-in-law, Mr. Wescott, and was the
recipient of large presents from him. tOn
the face of it" he says, 1T is an improb-
able story"
Speaking further on the point, the at
torney general says: IF Mr.. Wescott
the alleged donor, had come upon the
witness stand and cOrroborated the story
it would probably have been sufficient,
but he did not come.
Continuing, the attorney general am
phasizes the fact that all efforts to Sc
cure the testimony of Mr.. Westcott were
unavailing.
Mr. Griggs also mentions other circum-
stances, which he pronounces suspicious,
including the fact that many of the
checks paid to the contractors were col
lected in cash over the counter at the
subtreasury, and the circumstance that
Carter was present in New York on July
6, 1897, when the large checks were de-
livered to Gaynor on that date, and that
he was on many other occasions,s from
1892 to 1897 present in New York when
payments were made to the contractors.
He presents a statement showing the de-
posits of currency made by Captain Car
ter simultaneously with the cashing of
checks given to the contractors in New
York. In this connection the attorney

draft horses, not included in Clydes-
dale, Percheron and English Shire

The Salt Lake herald. [volume] (Salt Lake City [Utah]) 1870-1909, 1899-10-06
He Robbed the Government.

The conclusion is forced upon the mind
that Captain Carter, during these years
from 1892 to 1897. enriched himself to a
large degree in some manner not account
ed for by his own testimony, and the ir-
resistible conclusion. therefore, Is that
the true explanation of this rapid Access
sion of wealth is one that he could not
safely make, and that it is to be account
ed for only by accepting the theory that
he participated in the fraudulent proceeds
OF the contracts under his charge"
The statement concludes as foilows:gH I
am, therefore, led to the conclusion that
the courtmartial was justified in its find
ings of guilty upon the charges and spec
September, 1896, and that the finding and
sentencing of the court with respect
thereto should be approved" q.
