troll Vacancy.
Des Moines, Jan. 2O.-Thee latest po-
litica1 rnmor, which seems to have a
persistent way Of bobbing around the
lobbies is that. State Treasurer Henri
oft is to resign his present position
and is to. be appointed as a member
of the board of control, to fill the va
'cancy caused b. the resignation of
William Larrabee. There seems to be
ia lack. ofsofficial authority with regard
to the fumor, and denials no doubt will
be Forthcoming in a few days, but new
ertheless the common herd of politi-
clans who make the corridors ring
with their prophecies and speculations,
seems to give. credence to the story.
There are thousands of people who
would like to see John Herriott APP
pointed to a membership on the board.
They say that if Kline is ftewith less
aggressive men on the board he will he
the whole thing and that John Henri
OFT is a man of his own mind and will
insist on having his say about matters
Therefore, they favor Herriott. 1t is
not known that Mr.. Herriott would
accept. His acceptance would invoice
his resignation as treasurer of state
and he might not want to resign at
the present time.

ROBERTS CASE REPORTS
Both Majority and Minority Re-
ports Presented Today.

/ Washington, Jan. 2o.--(By Associat-
ed Press.)-The reports of the commit
tee on the investigation of the case of
Roberts of Utah, were presented to
the house today. The majority report
was sisHad by Chairman Taylor and
six of his associates. 1t is, a. volumin-
Gus document, accompanied by a sum-
mary of the law and the facts. 1t
gives the details of the hearings, the
ample opportunities afforded Roberts
to present his case, his refusal to tes-
tify and the voluminous finding by the
committee of the facts, heretofore
published, that Roberts is guilty of liv.
ing in polygamy. 1t proceeds: "The
committee is unanimously in the belief
| that Roberts ought not Ito remain a
member of the house. The majority
of opinion is that he ought not to be
permitted to become member; that
| the house has a right to exclude him
| The minority of opinion as to the
proper course of procedure is to per-
nit him to be sworn in and then eXpel
him by a two-thirds vote under the con
stitutional provision providing for ex
pulsion."
The minority report was signed by
Littlefeld, (rep.) of Maine, and Dear
mond, (dem.) of Missouri. 1t is devot
ed to an argument in favor of seating
Roberts and then eNpelling him on thu
ground that he was legally elected ane
his, polygamous practices are not {
constitutional bar. The report makes
a special point of the danger of eNclu
sion on any except constitutional
grounds, lest in the future it be taker
advantage of by some party with
narrow majority to strengthen its pc
sition.

MRS. YATES IN PRISON.
Granddaughter Indictment In the Tabo
Faith Healing Case

Council Bluffs, Jan. 49,. Mrs., P. B.
Yates, of Tabor, against whom the
grand jury Wednesday returned an in
dictment for manslaughter in connec-
ton with the death of her daughter
Ethel in this city January 5, was ar
rested at her home yesterday and is
now in Jail here, awaiting the perfect
ing of her bond in the sum of $4,000.
Mrs. Yates was accompanied by her
husband and party of friends, and
passed the night in jail. During the
afternoon, when it appeared impossible
to secure signers to the bond, the party
llnelt on the Jail floor and prayed for
help, after which Mr.. Yates took the
next train to Tabor to hustle for sure
ties.
Healer James of South Omaha, in.
dicted along with Mrs. Yates, has disap.
peared. A deputy called at his house
Wednesday evening, but James had
just been "called out" and has since
remained in hiding. He has retained
attorneys to defend him, and will
not go to Iowa without requisition pa
pers.
His defense is that he cannot be Ia
ken out of the state for an alleged
crime committed in another state. His
attorneys also claim that if an indict
ment had been returned in Nebraska
it would have been for practicing with
out license instead of for man
slaughter.
