Iy secured his signature to a contract
which he alleges defrauded him of

vate agreement was produced in court,
but Stevenson disclaimed any knowl-
edge of having signed this particular
instrument. He said he knew he had
signed an agreement, but he charged
Dowie with having had him under his
influence at the time of the signing of
the papers to such an extent that he
might have signed anything Dowle
wanted him to sign. He told of how he
and Dowie had an all night session of
prayer when the agreement was signed,
how he he'd implicit faith in Dowie and
all that he did and how he even left
all the legal technicalitieS of the agree
ment to DOWie'S own lawyer.

son, are engaged in drawing up a for
NAL protest against the minority find
ing of Admiral Dewey in the Schley
court of inquiry. Mr.. Campbell said
today:
I'VE are preparing brief and have
until Thursday afternoon to file it. 1t
is based upon the record of the court.
Three times, in behalf of Admiral
Sam pSOn, there was a tender of evil
dence to show who was in command at
the battle of Santiago. The court ruled
that such testimony was inadmissible
and the question was not gone into. AS
a matter of fact, Rear Admiral Samp-
sons flag was never down at Santiago
and he was in command of the squad
tiago has already been passed upon by
the court of claims, which awarded
that honor to Rear Admiral Sampson" !"
1t is understood that Admiral Samp-
sons attorneys will be given the same
time for filing the protest against the
approval of Admiral Dewey's report as
Admiral SchIey's attorneys have for
the majority of the court. This will be
until o'clock Thursday afternoon The.
officials decline to discuss what stand
ing, if any, protests filed behalf of
Admiral Sampson may have in the
present instance.

KILLED AND ROBBED.
Body of Man Missing Since Mon
day Night Is Found.


Salt Lake, Utah, Dec. 1S.-The body
of James B. Hay, secretary of the Pa
ciffc Lumber company, was found this
morning buried in a shallow trench
alongside the Rio Grande tracks near
Sixth and South street. Monday night
Hay called at the home of Peter Morten-
sen, contractor living at 2210 Walnut
avenue and collected So, 800 which Mort
ensen. owed the Pacific Lumber COM
pany, and which late in the afternoon
Hay had refused to accept, not caring g
to leave that amount in the office safe
over night. He gave a receipt to Mort
ensen for the money. and left the lat
ter's house with the remark that he
was going to take the money to Man
ager G.. E. Romney of the lumber COM
pany. Since that time nothing had
been seen or heard of Hay until this
morning when his body was found. The
money was gone and in fthe back Of
Hays head was a great Jagged wound.
Tt is the theory of the police that
someone saw Hay receive the money
from Mortensen followed him when he
left the house and murdered him and
buried the body in the hastily dug
trench.
Hay was 81 years of age, was promi-
nent in Mormon church work and was
implicitly trusted by his employers. He
came to Salt Lake from Australia sew
eral years ago.

SECRET IS OUT.
Joseph Helm Would Build To-
peka-Kansas City Line.
Rich Brewer Says That the
Electric Road Is a Go.

The Kansas City Journal says: Joseph
]. Helm said last night that he hopes
before January /, 1903, to have an cleo
tric railway in operat ton between KAN
sas City and Topeka. Kan, via Law
renee. and he expects this line will
prove so successful that within a few
years Kansas City will be connected by
interurban lines with all the principal
nearby cities. and towns in both Mis-
souri, and Kansas.
His plan is first to build the line to
Topeka This done, other projects OF
the same kind will be considered. Mr..
Helm already has In view line from
Kansas City to st. Joseph, another TO
Liberty, Mo, from which point branches
will run to Lexington and Excelsior
Springs and one to Cameron. Mo
Three routes for the proposed Kan
sas City and Topeka line are being con-
sidered," said Mr.. Helm. "A census is
being taken of the country lying along
each of them. When the results of this
are known a route Will be chosen. In
any event. it is certain that Lawrence
will be one of the stations. We may
enter Kansas City by way of Argentine.
or we may come in by Grandview. in
Kansas City, Kan. If we did this we
could come directly through the city on
the L line.
I'VE expect our cars to run from the
capitol in Topeka to the postoffice in
Kansas City in an hour and forty min

stand steam trains consume two hours
and forty minutes and upwards. Few
people realize the possibilities of the
interurban electric line as to speed. The
management of Berlin line claims to
have made more than 100 miles per
hour Last year l saw a speed register
where it had made 80 miles,
Mr.. Helm said that few preliminary
arrangements have to be made before
the company can be organized. What
they are, he declined to state. He said
that the making of them is vital to the
success of the plan. but that he had no
doubt that they would be easily dis
posed Of He expects the construction
of the line to Topeka to be commenced
early next spring. He thinks it can be
completed in nine months. Regarding
the other lines which it is proposed 10
build later, he said he had no idea how
long it would be before it would be
possible to commence work upon them-

John ID. Rockefeller Makes a
Present of 81 ,25O,OOO
To His Favorite Charity, the
University OF Chicago.
THIS MAKES ss,5O1,OOO
Which He Has Contributed to
the Big School.
He Will Continue to Give Until
Deficit Is Wiped Out.

Chicago, Dec. 1S.-The Christmas gift
to the University of Chicago announced
by President Harper is Sl625,000. John
D. Rockefeller's contribution was IL
million dollars Unannounced donors
gave the rest.
OF Mr.. Rockefeller's gift, 1 million
dollars in cash or securities, as asked,
was to the endowment fund. This makes
for that purpose President Harper
intfmated that another million might DO
expected at some time not very remote
and still other millions are considered
by friends of the university as in the
range of possibilities.
For the deficit of the current year
Mr.. Rockefeller gave u million dollars.
He began making up the deficit five
years ago and has been doing 1t ever
since. 1t is estimated that when he adds
one more million to the endowment
fund, there will be no more deficits.
He is pledged to make up this deficit
until the endowment fund reaches the
sum which he named wheE the new uni
versity was founded.
The students and friends of the uni
versity who crowded the Studebaker the
atre at the forfeit n convocatfon exercises
cheered the announcement of the holi-
day gifts. 1t has been a matter of gos-
sip about the university for the past
week. 1t has been DIR. Harpers habit.
however, to guard these convocation
announcements Jealously and the audi
ences attend the assembly with the size
of the gift still unknown. Nearly every
dollar that Mr.. Rockefeller has given
announced in this formal manner, until
it is generally understood that convo-
cation and the Rockefeller gifts go
hand in hand.

AS VIEWED IN WASHINGTON
President Endeavoring to Bring Con-
gressmen Together.

Washington, D. c., Dec. 1S.-There has
been such a furore stirred up over Mr..
Leland in connection with the Topeka
pension agency that the matter is at
tracing the attention of correspondents
of the large metropolitan dailies, and it
has become general topic of discussion
In Washington. 1t is learned that all
the facts in this case have not been pub
l1shed- The PRESIDENTS real desire it
is said, to reappoint Leland, as McKin-
ley had decided to do; but owing to
the bitter fight made upon Leland by
Senator Burton and Mr.. Mulvane he
merely mentioned General MetcaIf as
delegation could unite and thus end
a contest which threatens seriously to
rend the Republican party into factions
In the state Tne president knows Met
calf and likes him and would doubt
like to appoint ilin., under existing cir
cumStances, if the delegation would
unite for him; but this the delegation
