Result Of His Investigation is Motion
to Dismiss Case Against Cap
tain Tapley Which
Court Allows.

Captain Tapley you are discharged
the words addressed to the captain Of
the bark st. James this morning in the
Federal Court by Judge Estee.
A motion to dismiss had been made
by Prosecuting Attorney J. J. Dunno.
The motion to dismiss was accompani.
ed oy an interesting explanation.
In the charge against Captain Tap
ley. he was not accused Of having
struck blow, but of having witness.
ed the Illegal punishment administered
to seaman by the second mate. From
talking with the captain and the prose-
cutting witness, Mr.. Hadley. Mr.. Dunno
became doubtful of the justnessof the
prosecution of the charge against Tap
ley. He therefore made experiments
on board the st. James last Friday.
which resulted in the discharge this
morning.
Accompanied by the United States
Marshal. the defendant and the prose-
cutting witness, Mr.. Dunno went aboard
the St. James. He asked the prosecut-
ing witness II all things were In the
they were at the time of the alleged
assault. Hadley replied that they
were. He then asked that Hadley sta
ton him at the place where Captain
Tapley stood, and that the prosecuting
witness take the position of the second
mate.
From my position" said Mr.. Dunno.
to the Court this morning, 81 saw that
it was a physical impossibility for the
captain to have seen the blow struck
then put the complaining witness in
the captains position and he admitted
to me that it was impossible for one
standing at the spot to see blows
struck by person standing where
the second mate stood He further
more frankly told me that he believed
should be withdrawn. make this
statement, with the hope that the
Court will agree with me that Captain
Taplcy should not he further bothered
with this business Mr.. Dunno then
called Hadley, the complaining wit
ness. to the stand and questioned him,
The attorneys statement was entirely
corrobOrated.
The Court said, while It is not
mandatory in a United States Court
to dismiss case upon motion of the
prosecuting attorney. 1t is usually
done,a certainly will be in this case. -
Captain Tapley thereupon was formal
ly discharged and his bondsmen re
leased.

American Dreyfus Case.

T HERE is NO TELLING when this
court of inquiry into Schley's
conduct at the battle off Santiago
will end its investigation, so long as
newspaper editorials like the one from
the New York Sun was allowed to go
on the record as evidence. Witnesses
for the navy department are still occu-
plying the stand. After wading through
columns of testimony in the daily
press, the reader may conclude that
the most damaging evidence against
Schley is that he said, Damn the
Texas!" when told by an officer that
the Brooklyn was pretty close to that
battleship while his own was making
the now famous loop. 1t may not go
on record, but, Analysing the jealousy
of naval commanders in that engage
ment, it is also extremely likely that
the remark, Damn the BROOKLYN"
mingled with the smoke at the tail
end of the chase. Another thing proven
against Admiral Schley is that during
the battle he recklessly exposed his
person to the Spanish gunners; but as
Admiral Dewey did the same thing at
Manila, it is thought the tribunal will
be lenient towards that offense.
Schley said after the battle off San
tiago that there was glory enough for
ALL" His enemies in the navy thought
he had won too large a share, and to
strip him of all glory that conspiracy
was concocted, in which the board of
strategy and certain captains who
were not in the van at Santiago are
chiefly concerned.
1t is time that the conspiracy should
be exposed before this American Drey-
fus case has gone any farther. This
vile plot should be probed to the bot
tom and the men behind it called to
the carpet. Their conduct is a dis
grace to the navy as it is offensive to
all who love justice and honor bravery

Death of President Snow.

T ORENZO SNOW, the venerable
III head and president of the Nor
mon church, died Thursday. No
notice being given of his illness, the
sudden and unexpected death was q
surprise to all. He was born at Man
tua. Portage county, Ohio. April g.
1914, and since 1886 his life has been
identified with that of the Mormon
church. Sixty-five years of his life
have been spent in the services of the
church. During his years of faithful
service he has filed many prominent
positions. His early work consisted OF
missionary labors in England and 9TH
er countries. Returning to America,
he was made captain of the Nauvoo
Legion. In 1852 he was elected a mem
Der of the Utah legislature and served
in both houses for thirty years To
him Brigham City owes its origin and
in great measure its growth. In
1849 he was ordained as one of the
twelve apostles, and in 1889 became
their president. On the death of Pres
ident Woodruff, Lorenzo Snow, as
president and senior member of the
twelve apostles, succeeded as president
of the church.
He was a devoted churchman, zeal
Que in espousing the cause of the
Mormon faith, in defense of which he
has written several works.
In Salt Lake he was highly esteemed
by all classes, regardless of creed. His
motto was to live in peace with ali
men. He did not wish to borrow
trouble or seek for quarrels in religion.
He was tolerant, and whilst uncom-
promising in his own creed, he wished
good to all who differed from him.
President Shows death will be deep
ly lamented throughout the entire
state. The members of his church.
whom he so long and faithfully served
and governed, are the real mourners.
To them The Intermountain Catholic
extends its deep coincidence. Also to
his immediate family, who will miss
his paternal care and counsel.

Lesson Of Drop in Copper.

THE DROP in the price of copper
shares and the reduction in divi-
dends of holders in such strong COM
panies as the Amalgamated and Ana
conda need not greatly alarm the
miners Of Butte who apprehend that
wages may be cut, or mines closed I'M
til a reaction takes place. Big efforts
are being made to hold the prices up to
present figures, and the copper supplies
are in strong hands. Yet there is a.
reason behind the bear movement other
than financial strategy which marks
the decline in the market, and the one
assigned is the Industrial collapse of
Germany. The demand for copper from
that nation has, in consequence. ma
terially decreased. Heretofore Ger
many has been, next to England, our
best customer for Americas most prof
liable industry
The Rocky Mountain News points out
the lesson to be learned from the pres
ent copper situation. It shows that no
nation, under ordinary trade condi-
tons, can prosper independently of
other nations, but more especially those
which belong in the column of adj
vanced civilization. This theory gives
additional reason for the recognition of
reciprocity in the makeup of tariffs
and commercial treaties. The more
prosperous these nations are the more
they can afford to buy from us. Lop-
sided trade will soon approach a con-
dition where REIMBURSEMENT is neces-
sary, else the lack of it will cause
losses at home and abroad A diamond
merchant in a drouth-stricken state
would not do much business. His finan-
cial condition would depend as much
upon rain as if he owned or rented a
grain farm. On a large scale it is the
same among nations. Live and let
live" is intelligent self1shness, whether
the application nf the mot>o be narrow

a FORTUNE TO CHARITY.
Report Concerning Estate of the Late
Patrick Phelan.


There is much speculation concerning
the contents of the will made by the
late Patrick Phelan nearly six years
ago and deposited in the hands of
Judge w. C. Hall, who is now holding
it pending meeting and action by
the executors named to act with him
in carrying out the wishes of the de-
ceased. 1t is estimated that Mr.. Phe-
Ian had acquired fortune of some
thing like 100000.
the fact that he had left will came
as surprise to his closest friends,
none of whom was in any way familiar
with his business affairs. Now comes
the assertion from those with whom
he spent his declining years that the
Catholic church, or charities associated
with the church. will be remembered
in the disposition of the estate with
generous hberality. In support of this
is the fact that the only known living
relative Of the deceased is a nephew in
California, who was not high in Mr..
Phelan's favor, and also the circum-
stance that he named Bishop Seaman
as one of the executors to act with
Judge Hall in executing his last wishes.
The third executor is Stephen HAYS.
his former business partner.
Since the death of Mr.. PheIan it has
leaked out that he was deeply inter
ested In local philanthropical work.
While his rigid economy and thrift
was byword. it was not generally
known that through his transformations
giving many poor family in Salt Lake
was furnished with fuel in winter and
food in summer. These acts of benev-
olence were conducted through the
agency of Bishop Seaman or rather
Kiely, more frequently the latter. The
recipients of his bounty never knew
the identity Of the donor.
Il don OF know the contents of the
will" said the bishop Wednesday. IT

Power of the Rosary.

IN OUR historical department this
week appears an interesting de-
scription of the famous battle of
| Lepanto and the causes which led up
| to it, from the pen of Rev. j. B. O'Con-
nor O. P It's publication at this time
serves to remind our readers of the
powerful efficacy, of prayer and devo-
ton to the Mother of Christ, Our
Lady Of Victory" for it was by rea-
son of her intercession, invoked
through the rosary, that the hand of
God hurled back the hosts of Selim II
in defeat and prevented forever the in
vasion of western Europe by the fol-
lowers of Mahomet.
In this great battle the Christians
were greatly outnumbered by the en-
envy, both in ships and soldiers, and the
Turks enjoyed the prestige of being the
best and most skilful fighters in the
world at that day. Hence the victory
of the Christians at Lepanto should be
regarded as a miracle, for, taking ev-
erything into consideration from the
material standpoint, their defeat and
slaughter at the hands Of the Turks
should not cover more than sixty min
utes. Nothing like it had occurred
since the fight at the Pass of Their
mopylae, where the Spartans routed
the Persians, although the army of
Xerses outnumbered the brave Greeks
ten to one.
The galleases mentioned in the de-
scription of the battle were large ships,
that is to say, as the word large, ap-
piled to naval architecture, was COM
pretended in that time. Galleases were
used for the first time in the battle
of Lepanto. They carried forty or fifty
pieces of cannon, had very little speed
and were manned by three convicts.
On another page is printed a Story
of the Holy Rosary also reproduced
from the Rosary Magazine. It's perus-
al will enable the reader to form new
thoughts in contemplation of the mys-
teries which make up the fifteen dec
AIDES of the rosary, which pious per-
sons can apply in their own way
towards perfecting themselves as
Christians and conforming to the Di-
vine Will in all the things of this life
The story will be continued in three
parts, the first taking in the Joyful
Mysteries and ending with the Glorious
Mysteries. as this Month of the Rosary
approaches its finale.

never talked with Mr.. Phelan of his
temporal affairs. He was a good, kindly
man. and not unlikely to remember
the church and philanthropic work
He was clean. honorable and frugal.
The world knew this, but he never
noised about any good acts that he was
author of. l hope that the report that
the church is handsomely remembered
is true, but it is hardly the thing to do
to seek informat ton on the subject be-
fore our dead friend is buried. There
fore l shall probably know nothing OF
the matter until the will is formally
opened"
1T would not be departure for Mr..
Phelan to engage in philanthropical
work. said Father Kiely. He never
allowed it to be known, but his ltber-
atty has made life pleasanter for many
an unfortunate. When 1 would en-
counter cases of restitution or families
in want 1 would call the subject TO his
attention, and he was always respon-
sive. He wanted to attract no atten-
ton and shrank from discussing his
affairs with anyone. That is why no
one knows concerning his estate, save
the lawyer who drew his will for him.
The latter. Judge Hail. refused to
discuss the will last night, pending
meeting of the other executors or Su-
thority from them to take such action
He said the document might not be-
come public for a week or more.

Tribute to Pat PheIan.

IS 5 A MAN lives so shall he die"
n From time to time good men
pass away. In life we do not
always see men in their real character
and nature. Generally we see the GOOD
side of human nature. An enemy will
often greet you with a smile, or a
dishonest person may receive praise
from the public for disposing of a part
of ill-gotten goods in behalf of suffer-
ing humanity or for some philanthropic
cause. We find, too, sometimes. though
rarely, persons who conceal from the
world their good deeds, men who glorv
in doing acts of charity which are hid
den from the world and known only to
God and those who share in their gem
crosby. Following the advice of the
gospel. their right hand knows not
what the left bestows." Their reward
consists in the inward happiness ex-
perienced, because they contribute to
make others happy. Among this latter
class, do not hesitate to number Pat
Phelan
Pat Phelan, though living in this
Sldle LUZ wei HlSn thirty years, was
unknown outside the circle of his
friends, acquaintance and those whom
he assisted in life. Even of the last
class there are hundreds who knew not
whom to thank for the food, fuel and
clothing which they received. He was
always doing good, yet his name never
appeared in public print. He never
sought the applause of the world for
any good he did. 1 have known num-
berless instances where he would send
aid to persons in need, and always with
the injunction that nothing be said
about it." To the testimony of those
yet living. and who knew him in life.
l might appeal as to the truth of this
statement. He studied to make others
happy, and his joy was to learn that he
succeeded.

The story of his life is simple one.
