he had his gun. Mooney refused TO

was in the house. On the way down
the hill Lawson jumped forward and
thrust his hand into his hip pocket.
Mooney turned around and told him
he had gotten into the wrong pocket;
that he would not give Lawson the re-
volver, as he would then shoot him.
When they reached the foot of the Hill

officer in charge what had happened

AN OUTRAGEOUS ACT
Was His Arrest, Says Frank Mooney,
innocent of the Crime of Which
He is CharEed-Had Never Seen

Innocent of the Crime of Which
He is Charged-Had Never Seen
Cox Until His Arrest.
In the case of the State VS.. Frank
Mooney, charged with a vile crime,
Mooney was alleged to have taken
advantage Of the youth of Cox, Justice
Rodgers rendered a verdict that the
plaintiff had not sufficient evidence TO
commit him. Mooney was defended by
S. o. Boyce. When the three boys,
Clarence Cox, Joe Donahue and Chris
Roberts, were asked by the justice II
they would know the man were they
to see him again, they replied that
were they to see him again they would
know him." During this conversation
Mooney sat in plain view few feet
away.
MONEYS sisters and others employed
at the Peninsula testified that at the
time Mooney was supposed to have
committed the crime he was in the
stable cleaning the horses. Thus an
alibi was easily proven.
Mooney Makes Some Statements.
When seen by a representative Of
the Register yesterday Frank Mooney
said:
Il was standing in the yard when a
man stopped on the road and motioned
to me. | went out to him and asked
If he wanted to order grave dug?'
He said no, but wanted me to walk up
the road with him.
We started towards the upper cor
ner of the Peninsula. On the way we
passed a man who later proved to be
Mr.. Fox. The man walking with me
was Officer Lawson. He was dressed
in citizens clothes and his badge was
not visible. We came across three
boys, and Lawson said, Is this the
MANI Clarence Cox said yes. Again
Lawson said is this the MANI This
time the three boys said yes.
Then Lawson grabbed me by the
arm and started toward the upper end
OF the graveyard"
Mooney showed these marks to Law
yer Boyce.
Mooney refused to go. and asked
Lawson what he wanted?"

THE PUERTO RICAN BILL.


The compromise on the Puerto Rican
bin. which has passed the House and
which has fair chance In the Senate.
does not seem to give satisfaction to
either side.
The reduction OF the duty on Puerto
Rlcan products from 20 to Is per cent
was opposed at FIRST on the ground that
II was believed Congress could not law
fully levy any duty at all on the prod
ucts Of the island. But this objection
was overcome by clause making the
bill provisional" to be In force only
two years.
The reason why this Is regarded as
unsatisfactory 10 both sides is that II
leaves the great principle unsettled
Some time It VIII come Up again, and
perhaps at time not more opportune
than the present.
The sentiment is quite general that
the acquired islands. and Puerto Rico
particularly, should be treated as part
Of the United States. The view OF the
Chicago Times-Herald, stated a few
days ago, is extensively endorsed. That
journal said:
1T is our plain duty Ia Puerto Rico
to recognize II as an integral part OF
the United States and take II under
the protective wing Of our institutions,
giving II free trade with our States and
Territories. This is the kind OF free
trade that does not conflict With any
protection principle any more than free
trade with Alaska, New Mexico and the
District Of Columbia does"
The great prosperity Of this country
Is conditioned on the maintenance OF
unrestricted trade between its different
parts. When patriotism went forth to
the rescue OF oppressed races at our
threshold II was with the understand
ing that Uncle Sam had room enough
for the outoasts maltreated at his very

WHAT MAY COME.

The future possibility OF that COM
merical wonder OF our age--the depart
ment store--is limited at In an incident
said TO have occurred recently In Du-
buque. Iowa.
This cnterprislng city has a depart
ment store which used 20 advertise
that It supplied everything needed for
the happiness Of man. A farmer, too
busy presumably to pay attention TO
every little detail OF life, saw In this
advertisement what he needed and i'm
mediately wrote TO the store for
wife,
The story goes on TO say that the
business manager promptly set TO work
TO all the order with the same punctu-
alIty with which he would have attend
ed to an order for soap, or barrel Of
-four. The girls in the store were given
the first chance. but they all declined.
Then the newspapers took up the mat
ter. and since then several women are
said to have written TO the store for
particulars. and the letters have, Of
course, been forwarded to the farmer.
Clearly this shows what the depart
ment stores may come TO. Matrimonial
bureaus are no new thing. but the idea
OF keeping prospective husbands, or
wives. In stock. with other necessarles
OF life would be new. And 1t is eapa-
bic OF evolution. When the principle
is adopted, there is no reason why
bachelor, or widower. should not enter
the store on one side, care-worn and
lonesome. and leave II on another side
married man happy and expectant
The store should be able TO attend TO II
ALL like the mills In the fable that turn
ed out new generation Of old material
When marriage Is but clyil contract
and a business affair. there is no reason
why II cannot be attended to in de-
partment store.

CELIBACy.

Mgr. Martlnelll Is quoted In Harpers
Bazaar as arguing In favor OF the celiba-

life on her ministers. There Is
no other Scripture quoted In support Of
the doctrine, but IL is pointed out that
the church from the earliest ages has
taught celbacy as the highest Ideal OF
human existence.
To an ordinary student Of the Scrip
lures 1t seems difficult TO find any logi-
cal connection between the inspired
word quoted and the Roman doctrine OF
single holiness. AS will be seen by the
context our Savior discoursed upon the
sacredness and invlolability Of the mar
riage covenant, and In SO doing He came
In conflict with some popular notions
apparently sanctioned by the Mosaic
law. He spoke against the divorce evil,
and His disciples therefore remarked.

Teacher, II is not good to marry" To

Apostle Paul ON that question Is best

THE POLITICAL CANDIDATES

The political conventions have met
and separated, and the chief results OF
their work appear In the nomination OF
two candidates for the office OF Repre-
sentative from Utah In the Congress Of
the United states. The adoption OF
platforms was also attended TO, and
these have been published for the in
spection Of the people Of this State
Readers Of the Deseret News can study
them all
The Democratic convention, which
was held first, selected Hon. W. H.
King for Congressman. The gentle
man is known throughout the State,
having already served II in Congress
and In territorial and judicial offices,
IN which he exhibited such sterling
qualities and exceptional abilities, as
established for him an envlable repu-
tation. which extends beyond the limits
Of this region. His personal character
is above reproach, and his talents as a
public speaker are recognized as of a
very high order. while his presence Is
pleasant and dignifed He IL one OF
Utah's bright native sons. and II elect
cd will maintain It's honor and support
It's interests, in the future as In the
past.
The choice made by the Republican
Convention was also fitting recogni-
tIon OF Utah ability and integrity. Hon.
James II. Hammond, though perhaps
not so widely known, personally. as his
competitor for the office OF Representa-
tive In Congress. has first class repu-
tatIon throughout the State and wher-
ever his name is mentioned. Born and
reared in Utah. he has distinguished
himself from early youth as a studlous,
upright, capable Incumbent OF the sew
eral public positions ne has occupied,
and IL recognized In private and public
life as man OF sound judgment and
careful management Of important af-
fairs. As attorney. legislator and Sec
rotary OF State. he has exhibited quail
ties that have secured for him the re-
spect and confidence OF his associates
and the general public. II he gains
the position for which he has been NOM
mated he will do honor to II and TO
Utah.
The Populist convention, representing
a small minority Of the electors, but
one not by any means to be despised or
ignored, named the Democratic candi-
date as Its choice for Congressman, as
he represented more closely some Of the
chief tenets Of Its party creed than the
other nominee.
The campaign will soon commence In
earnest, and the citizens OF Utah viii
have full and fair and free opportunity,
to make their choice Of a man TO repre-
sent this growing and important State
in the National Legislature. In this
they should consult the best interests
OF the whole people and exercise their
own judgment. az wisdom shall guide
and as God shall give them light.
