Travelling Photographic Charg-
ed With Grave Crime.
YOUNG GIRL COMPLAINS
CLAIMS THAT THE DEFENDANT
RUINED HER
Ella Alexander is the Witness For
the ProSecution-She Says That
in Addition to Seducing Her the
Prisoner Took Money and
Watch Under False Pretenses.

w. H. Palmer, the Park City pho
tographer who was arrested on Friday
on charge of adultery with Ella Alex
ander. was brought to this city yester-
day by Sheriff HowelIs and was lodged
in the county Jail. He will be arraign-
ed before Justice Nielsen tomorrow,
when he will doubtless enter a plea Of
not guilty.
Some new developments in the case
were brought TO light yesterday. and
they tend TO make the case against
Palmer a strong one. Miss Alexander,
VINO is a girl of but 20 years of age,
claims that he received 5000 and a gold
watch from her under false pretenses,
and she has demanded time and time
again that they be returned TO her. He
had promised to marry her, she says.
and on that supposition she loaned
him the money to start in the photo
graphic business.
When Palmer was searched at the
Jail letters were found upon him which
tended TO show that he had sent medi-
cine to Miss Alexander in an endeayor
TO secure an abortion.
Denies the Charge.
Palmer himself strenuously denies
the charge. He says that he was &C
quainted with Miss Alexander, and had
seen her and talked with her several
times, but he denies having had any
criminal relations with her. He is a
married man, his wife living in Butte.
He is a travelling photographer, and
took pictures at the joint building dur
ing the last sitting Of the Legislature.
The offense with which he is charged
was alleged to have been committed
with Miss Alexander in June, 1899.
Twin children were born to her last
Saturday, one Of which died and was
buried on Tuesday. Miss Alexander IS
at present living with her sister, Mrs.
Augusta Anderson, at 324 South Second
East street. She intends to vigorously
prosecute the case against Palmer.

Tooele, Utah, March 17.-Messrs.
Hammond and Smith arrived so late to-
night that people grew weary, while
the brass band and sheep dog
that had wandered in in search of his
master amused the crowd.
Chairman c. R. Mcbride finally in
trOduced Mr.. Hammond, the first
speaker, who said. in part: 1.-THE Dem
ocrats say the Republican platform is
too brief, but it, nevertheless, seems to
worry them. Why worry over moth
ings?" He endorsed both state and ma
tional administrations; dweIt upon the
Cleveland administration; harped upon
the tariff, and said much about wool
He also spoke of bank failures and
prosperity.
Instead of giving the people free sill
yer, he said the Republicans had adopt
ed another means of increasing the
money supply namely, high tariff,
which had brought prosperity. The
Democrats say that wheat is low,
which is the only thing they complain
of. He told the same story about eat
ing barbed wire and the prices Of coal
oil, sugar, ETC., were no higher. He said
that Bryan, in his search for an issue,
has finally settled on "bust the trusts"
AS to the Philippines, he said we should
hold all we have. As to himself, he
said he should be elected, because Re
publicans were in power in Washing
ton.
There was breathlees silence as Mr..
Hammond sat down, but the glee club
that followed was heartily greeted.
Smith Makes Another Break
George a. Smith, "papa's boy" as
the people here call him, had a bad
cold, and asked the audience to be
quiet. He mentioned McKinley's name
by mistake for Cleveland's. In the
laughter and confusion he thought he
heard a hiss. and said that only snakes
and geese hiss. By this he lost the
respect of his audience. He told some
stories, talked on prosperity, the Lehi
sugar factory, which was a Republican
enterprise and the fruit of a bounty;
he favored bounties; he scored the
Democrats for their failure to elect a
senator, and said that Hammond should
be elected TO congress because the Re
publicans were in power.
The meeting closed with a song by
the glee club. The congressional party
was at Grantsville this afternoon, and
go to Salt Lake tomorrow.

a vast audience assembled last night
at the Salt Lake theatre to hear Faith
er Thomas F. eastman tell the story
OF Ireland, as a benefit for the new
Catholic orphans home. 1t was a
mighty crowd; there were five floors
or IT, the four galleries with the or
chestra, AMI the lecturer said that he
had never before talked TO five floors
Of people.
All of Ireland that lives in Salt Lake,
and people of every other nationality
were there, too. Though the shamrock
doomed in brilliant green on many a
falr bosom and manly chest, the lee
ture was not an event for Irish men
and women alone. The carried audience
lent TO 1t wider scope. Whether these
persons, thousands Of them, had come
70 hear of Ireland or out of regard for
the orphans home, their presence made
or the event one far broader than a
mere celebration by a race OF one OF
its festal days.
Had st. Patrick, who never dreamed
of the far west, nor of anything be-
yond the close confines Of Europe anG
Britain known to him, looked down up
on such a throng in a new country in
the Zion Of a new religion, he must
have been struck with wonderment
and awe.
The musical numbers of the pro-
gramme were taken by Americans of
ancient descent, by Professionals and
by MOrmOnS- The event was more
than a lecture; il was a celebration in
song and prose, and the music was not
by any means the least entertaining
part.

Especial to The Herald.)


Ogden, March 17.-Charles s. Thomas.
governor of Colorado. came into Ogden
on this afternoons train, and proceeded
at once 70 the Reed hotel. The governor
is en- route 10 Butte on business con-
nected with his attorneyship of the
Anaconda company. His stop off in
Ogden was merely incidental. it being
necessary for him to wait for the north
ern train. 1t was a fortunate circum-
stance for the people of Ogden, now
ever, as the Democratic committee ar
ranged for him to address the people
of Weber county on the political issues
Of the day. Owing to the fact that the
train came in a little earlier than it
was reported, two or three Democrats
who were to meet the governor infor-
mally at the depot missed connections
and joined him at the hotel a few
minutes later This circumstance was
seized upon by the representative of
the Republican papers and taken as
an evidence of frosty reception. This
was about all the comfort they got
along that line, for during the entire
afternoon and evening Governor Thorn
as was the recipient of marked atten-
tons from leading citizens of Weber
county.

Political Issues Discussed.

Governor Thomas discussed the polit-
ical situation freely. When asked by
Herald reporter if the people of his
state were interested in the Utah spe-
cial election, he said:
They are interested in it because Of
the national questions involved. 1t is
virtually regarded as the opening Of
the presidential campaign. In 1898
Utah went Democrats by a large ma
jority. If at this time the state should
switch. no matter what other causes
might contribute to such a result, the
fact would be regarded in the east as
an indication that the people here We're
going back on the silver question. 1t
would be vaunted by Republicans as
cOnfirmatory of their predictions, and
might be instrumental in causing some
to lose heart in the fight for bimetal-
ism. The new financial bill will cause
temporary prosperity, as it may put
some currency in circulation, swelling
the volume of the circulating medium
However, the vital and Objectionable
portion Of the bill is that it gives the
very institutions who put this money
into circulation the power to curtaiI it
at any time"

Colorado and Silver.

Speaking further on the silver ques-
ton. Governor Thomas said:
Some former silver advocates who
have gone over to the gold standard
assume that bimetallism means reduc-
ton of gold values so per cent, and the
increase of silver values so per cent,
and call attention to Colorado's produce
ton last year of $31, 00n, 900 in gold and
$13,O0O,000 in silver, asserting that if the
one is divided and the other doubled the
aggregate result will be less than it is
under present conditions. Hence they
declare that bimetallism is no longer
desirable. This logic equals that of the
boy who argued that his brother was
a goat. All goats are animaIz My
brother is an animal. Therefore, my
brother is a goat
Let us see how free coinage would
help Colorado. Last year she produced
81 100000 in gold. That is money, for
1t has access to the minis. She produced
S13,OOO,O00 Of silver; that is not money.
but a mere commodity If we could
coin 1t with our gold we would have
added 1000, 600 instead of s31 900 900
TO The country's curI ency. But we would
have done more. We would then have
produced $90,000,000 of silver instead of
sl3, 600, and added more than $50. OO0.-
OVO 10 the national monetary stock We
would have given employment to 10 900
additional miners. to half a dozen more
shelters and added millions to the GEN
eral business of the state. Our railway
frelShtage, our commerce, our markets
for farming produce, our farming area
would each and all have been stimu-
lated in proportion.
Fortunately and Unexpectedly Colo
RADIOS increase of gold production has
been enormous. For that we are truly
thankful. 1t has made metallic money
more plentiful and by that fact it has
demonstrated the benefcient truth of
the bimetallic theory. I trust il NAV
continue to come from the mountains
in ever increasing quantities, but if il
does the gold standard men viii either
syndicate all the gold mines and thus
reduce production, clamor for a scarcer

against cheap money or behold all their
assertions refuted by the experiences
of the near future"
Governor Thomas referred to the

Songs of Ireland.

Before Father Cashman's lecture, and
during it, there were interpreted songs
of Ireland by singers whose voices
were a joy and delight. The over
ture of Irish airs by. Mrs. Keenan,, Mrs.
McGurr1n, Roy Williams and Miss Nora
Gleason, brought forth much applause.
Professor Heber S. Goddard sang in
magnificent voice Come Back to
Erin" and the audience was so pleased
that though time was being taken from
the lecture, he had TO sing an encore,
and he gave Believe Me, If All Those
Endearing Young" Then, at an ap-
propriate place in the lecture, when
Father eastman spoke of the Cathe-
dral of Shandon, George D. Piper sang
The Bells of Shandon."
When in his discourse he reached the
beautiful lakes Of Killarney, Mrs. ].
Hal Moore rendered killarney" She
has such sweet and clear soprano
voice, and sang with such ease and
control, that she had to come out and
do it over again. Roy Williams gave

reference to the generosity of Mrs.

Judge Powers. While approaching

Trusts and the Tariff.

The conversation drifted to trusts and
the tariff question. and Mr. Thomas
said:
I have never regarded the tariff leg
islation as primarily responsible for
trusts, though they are largely promot-
ed thereby. DISCRIMINATE ton in transpOr-
tation rates and facilities I regard as
primarily the foundation of the unlaw-
full combinations which, once started,
have been largely -fostered by discrim-
mating tariff legislation.
Mr.. Thomas illustrated this point by
the Standard Oil company and it's
operations, the most powerful trust in
the history of the world. Its operations
were clearly described. not only in it's
control of the oil supply and market,
but of railroad systems aggregating
about $4,000 miles.

lecture upon that most appropriate sub

When Father eastman came forward
he was received with an ovation. His
lecture WIS illustrated and therein lay
much interest He didn't speak of the
wrongs of Ireland. nor the tyranny OF
England. He made little reference to
absentee landlords and the eviction Of
tenants. His lecture was descriptive,
discussive and conversational. He had
pictured forth on the large curtain
beautiful illustrations Of old cathedralS
ana mOnasteries, of scenery that has
become the heritage of the world in
painting and poetry and song.
He showed in these pictures the places
where st. Patrick, labOring in the cause
of Christianity, had been in his wan
dering about the Emerald Isle. And
n
ton, obtained not from books, not from
The accounts of others. but from his
own observation. Father eastman has
been in all of these places. To him the
old cathedrals, decrepit with age and
crumbling with the weight Of time, are
familiar. The lakes of Killarney, the
streets of Cork, the once-embattled
castles of Antrim and TipDerary are
known to him as Zion is known to ma
tives OF Utah.
And he knows all the poetry written
about these ancient ruins and this
magic scenery of clear waters and roll
ing mountains. He knows of the wars
and the battles and the blood spilled
on the green fields since the reign Of
Henry II, when Ireland was attached
TO the British crown. He repeated bits
from Tom Moore and every other poet
who has sung of Ireland. He is full Of
humor too. for ne is an Irishman to the
core. His melif1uous accent which de-
fies the queens English as she is writ
ten gave these touches of humor and
his jokes flavor that made them de-
lightful.

about the Irish people and their land

The +" Glorious Fourth. E"

The Executive Committee of the 18th
Of July Celebration" met Thursday night
at the Chamber of Commerce.
The committees on the various features
have been at work and will report adop-
ton.
Every feature in the program will be
carried out in manner that will surprise
the people of Martinsburg and astonish
the thousands Of visitors coming.
The Mammoth Parade will be over one
mile in length and will be headed by 20
marshalls comprising prominent and rep
resentative citizens of this and surround
ing cities.
The Trade Display will comprise some
unique features and original ideas. Mr..
+. Nj. Yerlck and his committee is hard at
work planning the various details.
The Floral Pageant of which Mr.. w.
H. Crawford is chairman will be entirely
new in this section and promises to be
the prettiest feature in the parade, the
committee expect to have many entries
and hope thar every citizen will decorate
and turn out in line.
The Red Men under the Craftsmanship
OF Mr.. Caskey are hard at work and with
the visiting organizations with robaby
over 100 mounted men in lire in full var
paint.
The Military feature under the drec-
ton OF Maj. A. !. Moore is assuming
larger proportions than first contemplated
and will reflect credit on the committee:
although their instructors are absent eff
forts are being made to have the Military
Academy Cadets. parade in connection
with Company L and visiting commands.
The Great Sham Battle the most inter-
esting feature of the dav, will be the
drawing card. There will be an Emf.
grant Train such as our forefathers used
on the plains, this will be attacked bv the
Red Men, and during the massacre, the
troops will come to the rescue, not before
however the Red Men have set fire to the
wagons and carried off as prisoner, one Of
the emigrants who will be tied to the
stake preparatory 10 the war dance and
burning. In the attempt to recapture
the prisoner, the sham battle occurs, in
which all Of the Military and Red Men
will participated the maneuver has been
planned to last 50 minutes and will be
brilliantly executed and intensely exciting.
This will also be followed the Band Con-
tests, athletic amusements, and as finale
the pyrotechnic display.
The morning will be de-, oted to the
Hose Reel and Hook and Ladder Con-
tests. Special arrangements are being
made to receive and entertain the visiting
organizations before and after the parade.
Altogether, the program appears more
attractive than has never been attempted
by any city in this section, and the in
dications already point to one of the
largest gatherings ever assembled in
Martlnsburg.

COMING MONEY CENTER.
United States Acquiring Supremacy
In the WORLDS FINANCES.

Russell Sage thinks that in five years
from now we will be the money center
of the world And for this some of the
newspapers call Mr.. Sage an optimist.
In view of the facts of the case we
would call this statement of Mr.. Sage's
a very conservative one. With bal
ance of trade of $500,000,000 or more
rolling up in our favor every year we
will be the money center of the world
long before five years have passed over
our heads. In fact there are not lack
ing among men of sound judgment aud
good business sense those who believe
that the United States comes very near
to being the money center of the world
now. We of all nations have gold to
spare for export Money is much cheap.
er in New York today than it is in Lou
don. AS Mr.. Sage himself has pointed
out. money can be borrowed in New
York at as low a rate as = per cent,
while in England it commands per
cent or more This is of course in part
due to the South African war and the
consequent stoppage of gold exports
from the Transvaal. That helps to
make money scarce in England, but it
is not the cause of the plentifulness of
money in this country. For the cause
of that we must look to our protective
tariff policy, to which we owe the fact
that Europe is running up big bill
with us every year for the output of
American factories and the products of
American farms which her people buy
of us to an amount far in excess of the
amount Of their products which we buy
of them,
