EX-CUARD
CONDEMNS POSITION OF GOVERN
OR IN THE PENlTENTIARY
CONTROVERSY.
Goes Against Quoted Statement by Ex-
Warden Carr and Also Figures
Given by Prison Surgeon Hamil-
ton as to Weight Of Ex-Convict
Martin at Time of latter's Re-
lease.

D. Keller, who lives at 7OS Eighth
street in this city, called at this Office
this morning to have his subscription
to The Republican discontinued. He
said he did not care to read a paper
that took the stand this paper had on
the treatment of prisoners at the state
~Denitentiary. The Republican viii Ell
deavor to get along some way with
out the patronage of such high-minded
individuals as Mr.. Keller, and he heed
lose no sleep for the sake of this pa
per.
1t developed in the course of a pleas
ant few minutes talk with Mr.. Keller
that he had been a guard ct the peni-
Tertiary. and had left thai institution
some months ago. He said every word
EX-Convict Frank Martin had written
for publication in a morning paper was
true, as he knew of his own knowl-
edge, and that the statements of the
governor. as quoted by the Cheyenne
Leader and reprinted in these col
umns, We're at variance with the facts.
He o o issue with Governor Richards
en- almost every point, and stated that
he as a guard always knew OF the
coming of members of the board of
charities and .cform through the con.
victs themselves. He did not say how
the knowledge came to the con yicts.
Speaking of the statement attribu-
ted to Ex-Warjen r. jeff Carr by the
Cheyenne Tribune, and also reprinted
in these columns yesterday afternoon.
he said Mr.. Carr resigned for a very
different reason than the one ne is
said to have given the Tribune in the
reprinted statement. Mr.. Carr could
not agree with Lessee Boswell and re-
signed.
Mr.. Keller said he had been employ
ed as a guard in the Kansas prison
and knew much Of the methods of the
Missouri state prison, and he did not
hesitate to say that the treatment of
prisoners in the Wyoming state pris.
on was much more inhuman than in
either of these.
He. disputed the statement as 70 the
weight of the ~eX-conyict, Martin. up
on his arrival and discharge. and when
shown the figures given by Prison Sur
geon Hamilton to a reporter for this
paper, sale they were not correct. as
Martin did not now weigh nearly as
much as the figure fixed by DR.. Hamil.
ton.
The matter of difference between
Warden Mcdonald and Lessee Bos-
well, Mr.. Keller said, was concerning
the cigar factory. He (Mr. Keller
said he was n union workman, and fav-
ored anything that would do away
with the conflict between prison and
honest labor.
In short, according to Mr.. Keller,
about the only ones competent to tell
a straight story in regard to the prison
matter is an e~X-convict, the Boomerang
and a somnambulistic ex-guard.
A telephone message from the peni-
tertiary conveyed the information that
Mr.. Keller mad been removed as a
guard for sleeping while on duty. and
that he had been kept at the prison
some time after he was charged with
Icing asleep at his post.

Application has been made to Gov

S~chuckers, now imprisoned in the
state penitentiary serving a six years
sentence for forgery, from Albany

says the Cheyenne Leader.
S%chuckers' Cline was a daring one
end consisted of passing a forged
check on C. w. Bramel, the district

ASSA|LED
is CONSTlTUTIONALITY OF STATE
LAND BOARD IN THE FILL.
MORE-REID CASE.

That Board Shall Consist of Four

Comes now the above named appel
lee and defendant, by his attorneys,
Van Orsdel & Burdick, and moves the
court to vacate the judgment hereto
fore entered in the above entitled case,
and to dismiss said action from the
further consideration of this court. for
the reason thai this court has never
determined said action. The Lack of
jurisdiction consists in this, to-wit:
81. That under the provisions of
section Si3 Of the revised statutes of
Wyoming for the year 1899. the only
ground upon which an appeal IAN be
taken from the state board of land
commissioners is from the determina-
ton of said board rendered in a con-
test proceeding held before said board.
In this case no contest proceeding was
held before said board, hence no ap-
peal would lie from said board to this
court i'll this section.
20 That under the provisions of
section 10, article I. of the constitution
of Wyoming, the governor. secretary
of state, state treasurer and superin-
tendent of public instruction are con
a board of land commission
ers for the direction, control. leasing
and disposal of the lands of the state
granted. or which may be hereafter
granted, for the support and benefit of
the public schools; that the land in
question in this case is land donated
to the State of Wyoming by the gov
~ . y 'h' 'nlltu states IOr the
Of the public schools of the
state; that no action has heretofore
been a in said cas before said board
lane commissioners; that until a
determination of the rights of the par
ties herein has been had before said
board of land commissioners, no an
peal will lie in this court"
In section 10, article vii, constitution
of the State of Wyoming. provision is
that the board of land commits |
Sioners shall consist of the governor, |

superintendent of public instruction.
Section 3, article xviii. of the consti-
tuition reads as follows:
Section 3. The governor. superin-
tendent of public instruction and sec
of state shall constitute a board

TOO GRAVE FOR BAIL
The Crime With Which Emma Gold
 man is Charged.

Chicago. Sept. 11.-Magistrate Prindi- vile held Emma Goldman. the anarch- ist lecturer. under arrest without bail pending a decision by the upper court in the habeas corpus proceedings. This action extends only to Friday of this week. On that day the question will be reconsidered and the magistrate will decide whether she shall be held with out bail or released under bonds until the preliminary hearing of the charge against her of taking part in a con- spiracy to murder the president. which is set for September 19.
 Miss Goldman appeared for a hear ing during the forenoon. She had not secur-d counsel, but in a determined voice declared she was ready to act as her own attorney. The assistant city tinuance of the hearing till September 1e. the date set for the hearing of the other anarchists in custody. Judge Chetlain had already decided to hold Isaaks and Omen. the alleged anarch- ists. without bail until the 18th. when argument will be heard in the habeas corpus proceedings.
 Miss Goldman spent very comfort able nigkt in the women's annex to the Harrison street police station last night.
 She talked nearly the whole night to the matron. repeating her wonder that 50 insignificant a man as Mckinley should receive such widespread atten- tion.'
 Her words were even more violent than in the interviews she gave yester- day

Washington, Sept. 1.-All the mem bers of the Sehley court of inquiry are in Washington. Rear Admiral Howison. the third member, arriving last night Admiral Howison was extremely guarded answering inquiries respecting the court. He said it would not be proper to say anything in advance of the meeting of the court as to his own intentions or the probable line of ac- ton of the court It was evident how ever that he has not in any degree all tered his resolution to serve as a mem Der Of the court if the other members; accept his own view as to his qualifica- tions
 While observing all forms necessary to maintain the dignity of the court. there is no disposition on the part of the members to magnify it's importance by useless ceremony. There will be no waste of gunpowder in salutes, nor will marines be turned out in state as the three admirals make their way to and from the building where the court will meet
 Precisely at one o'clock the members of the court will be seated, Admiral Dewey at the center of q table placeI crosswise of the court room, with Rear Admiral Bsnham on his right and Rear <Aui'liral f1OWlSOn on ms IeIt. captain Lemly. the judge advocate. with Sc- licitor F. P. Hanna. his associate in the case. will occupy the other end of the table. A place has been reserved for Mir. Slayton. who is to represent cer- tain officers not officially named yet. He will not be recognized as counsel by the court. however, unless some of his clients are involved in the case by the testimony.
 The most interesting part of the pro- ceedings will be the challenging by Ad- mira1 Schley's counsel of the cornpe- tency of Rear Admiral Howison as member of the court. They will reiter- ate the charge that Howison had ex- pressed an opinion adverse to Schley, and it will be the object of counsel to support this charge by affidavits and perhaps by oral testimony. There will be no appeal from the decision of the court on this point
 Captain Francis A Cook. who com manded the Brooklyn during the West Indian campaign will probably be the first witness.

NO STEEL STRIKE PEACE
Meanwhile the Strikers are Living
 on $4 Week.

Pittsburg. Sept. 11.-While positive stories of a peaceful settlement of the strike of the Amsi igamated association continued to be heard today, President Shaffer continued to deny them em- phatically and said that the battle of the steel workers would go on until they won. He denied that the execu- tive board had instructed him to set tie the strike on any terms, and he said he would not go to New York or make a further peace movement for the present.
 Meantime the officials of the United states Steel corporation were putting forth active efforts to start their plants. During the day the company held the strikers pickets back and got lot of provisions and cots into the Monongahela mills. It was announced at the same time that there was an am pie number of men ready to enter the plant and start the mills as soon as they are in readiness
 Secretary Williams said ha was pre- paring to send out a secord installment of strike benefits during the day and would have all out during the week. The number to receive benefits is not more than 10000 and this will require about S4O,O00 weekly. It is said that the Amalgamated treasury, reimbursed by the lodges whose members are at work will be able to meet the payments with the aid of funds contributed by sym pathizers.

EMMA CAN'T BELIEVE IT
That Czolgosz Implicated Her in His
 Enterprise.

When shown the dispatch from New York stating that Czolgosz admitted that there was q plot to kill the presi- dent. and mentioned her. Miss Goldman said:
 T can prove that I have not been ih Buffalo sine I left there the latter part of August. I do not believe that Czol- gosz has confessed, because it does not seem reasonable that a man who de- clares that he had no one to assist him should duplicate me. He has not con- fessed anything of the sort. I do not know what means the police might use to extort confession. and a man is liable to say things that he does not mean''

Buffalo. Sept. 1.-The condition of the president continued favorable throughout the day and nothing occur red to shake the faith that the attend ing surgeons and physicians have eX pressed that he will recover. Danger tfcaIly over today The holes in the stomach proper caused by the perfora- ton of the bullet are now considered healed by pr. McBurney and his asso- ciates, and the eminent surgeon point ed to the fact that the beef juice, fed to the patient last night. was readily digested as proof of this.
 Sufficient time has also elapsed to warrant the doctors in asserting that the danger of inflammation where the bullet lodged has disappeared It is believed that the ball has become en- cysted in the muscles of the back. and unless 1t should prove troublesome later there will never be any necessity for removing it.
 The attention of the physicians is now, therefore. mainly directed to the care and treatment of the wound caus- ed by the incision in the abdomen above the navel. where the operation was performed. This wound is pro- gressing satisfactorily.
 The president continues in excellent spirits. Mrs. Mckinley displays the

The five members of the cabinet who are here talked over pend ing public questions for over an hour today at the Glenny house. adjoining the Milburn residence. but is is said no action resulted.
 The following bulletin was issued by the presidents physicians at 10 D. m: The presidents condition continues favorable. The blood count corrobor- ates the clinical absence of blood pois- oning. He is able to take more nourish- ment and relishes it. At 1O:30 his tenn perature was 1O04

MISS HEADS NOT HIS HEIR.
Millionaire Taylor Bitter Against His
 Ward for Her Secret Marriage.

Islip. l.. l.. Sept. 11-George c. Taylor the millionaire, whose ward. Miss Lena Head, was secretly married to Fred erick William Bodley on last Thurs day. is extremely angry over the mar riage. Mir. Taylor says Miss Head is rot his heir and never will be.
 1T will not give either of them a cent. said MT. Taylor This fellow Rodley was not an overseer: he was simply servant" Mir. Taylor said he had as yet made no will.
 The village people speak in high terms of Bodley. Neither Mir Taylor nor Mrs. Head ever entertained here and Miss Head's exclusion from social life is belieN ed to have been largely re- sponsible for her marriage. The couple are still at Blue Point Mrs. Head, the brides mother, shares Mir. Taylors anger. John Seaman. one of the employees on the place, who was a witness at the wedding, was discharged yesterday and forbidden coming on thu. place again.

 The opinion of bankers is that this week will witness slight recovery ar the part of the banks from the deple- ton of reserves shown last Saturday. Money is coming in ample volume from nearby places like Philadelphia, as was expected when the city drew several millions out of this city.
 Moreover, the return of the vacation crowds to New York Twill cause the rapid flow toward this center of the hundreds of thousands, if not millions, of dollars that have been spent at various resorts in this part of the coun- try.

 Phrrmann had paid a regular munic- lpal tax to the authorities of the city. When county tax was also levied he rebe.led and was imprisoned. The su- preme court released him on a writ of habeas corpus, and in final decision unqualifisdly affirms the validity of the amendms mt.
