SOMEWHAT OF
A SENSATION
Alleged Deal Regarding Seating
of Apostle Smoot.
WAS SENT FROM SALT LAKE
PECULIAR STORY PRINTED IN
THE WASHINGTON TIMES.
Especial 10 The Herald.)


WASHINGTON, Feb. 16.-The Wash
w ington Times tonight prints a
dispatch, dated Salt Lake City,
stating that a deal is on foot by which
the opposition to the seating Of Smoot
VIII be withdrawn, the conditions being
that SmOot consents to the passage of
an anti-polygamy amendment to the
federal constitution, and that he Sc
cures the church influence to return
hearns to the senate two years hence.
When the attention of Kearns was
called TO the telegram he said the
whole matter was news to him.
Representatives. Howell visited
the senate chamber today in company
with Representative Sutherland and
was introduced to a number of sena-
tors by Senator Kearns. The visit
caused an unusual commotion, as the
report was whispered about that the
visitor was Senator-elect SmoOt. The
report spread to the press gallery and
there was a sudden filling UP of press
desks. which had been vacated during
the long argument of Senator Morgan
on canal matters. The public galleries
also filed up as the report was cir
culated that the apostle had arrived.
The members of the press and senate
were soon put right, but visitors in
the galleries still think they saw the
new senator.
Printed copies of the Salt Lake cit
liens protest against Smoot reached all
the members of the senate today. The
original document is still in the hands
of Chairman Burrows Of the elections
committee, who has announced his in
.tention of holding it until after the fl
Ing of Shoots credentials.
The Indian appropriation bill passed
the senate today with all the amend
ments recommended by the committee
on Indian affairs. 1t is expected that
a fight will be made in the house on the
amendment opening the gilsonite lands
of the Uncompahgre reservation, but
that the other amendments relating to
the Uintah and Fort Hall reservations
viii not be opposed.

ON FOREIGN SOIL
WALTER HARTRIDGE WILL, RE-
MAIN FOR TWO YEARS.
COPY. OF o'KEEFE'S WILL
HAS BEEN SENT TO SAVANNAH BY
MIR. PARTRIDGE IN HONG KONG.

Letter Confirms CHbIegram Sent
from Hong Kong More Than "A
Month AgO-INing of zap Had
Wealth at His Command and Sa-
vannahians Will at Least share
in His Valuable Estntes-Final
Adjudication to BE Made in May,
1904.
King David O'Keefe of Yap left an
estate valued at 100000 to his daugh-
ter in this city, Mrs. Lula Butler, and
to his illegitimate children in the Far
East.
This fact cabled from Hong Kong by
Walter c. Hartridge, Esq, more than
a month ago is again related in a let
ter from the Savannah lawyer to his
firm in this city. The letter goes more
into detail and with it was mailed a
copy of the will left by the Savannah
sailor.
The members of Mr.. Hartridges firm
in this city have persistently refused
to discuss the O'Keefe case. but the
contents of the will were made known
when the cablegram that cost $50 was
received in this city. Under this win
Mrs. Butler, the only legitimate child
of the King, is left a sum upon which
she could live comfortably during the
remainder of her days.
Will BE Away Two Years.
II will be two years probably before
Mr.. Hartridge sets foot on Savannah
soil again, unless the present plans are
changed. He will have to make another
trip to Yap next May and the same
difficulties that attended his last jour
ney to the South Sea island will have
to be undergone again. While no ar
rangements have yet been made for
the second trip, it is reasonably GER
tain to suppose that he will again go
to Yap on a United States vessel.
In the meantime Mr. Hartridge is at
work in Hong Kong, where O'Keefe
left a large estate. Whether an effort
will be made to break the will or
whether the Savannah heirs will agree
to take the large sum they can secure
under the provisions of the will. are
matters that have not been made pub
lie, even if they have even been deter
mined Under no circumstances can
the property be converted into cash or
even touched until next May.
Three Years Must ElRpse.
Although O'Keefe, who is believed to
have filled a watery grave, has been
legally dead since last May, two years
after he was seen alive, three years
must elapse before his estates can be
disposed of.
This is the law in the East, and
nothing can be done until next May.
Mr. Hartridge will probably sit it out
at Hong Kong studying the case and
the interesting country that he is in
He is reasonably certain to remain in
the Orient until the estate has beer
divided and everything in which the
Savannah heirs are interested has beer
adjusted. 1t is not unlikely that the
widow of King O'Keefe and her broth
err, Mr.. Lee P. Masters, will go to Hong
Kong or the Carolines when the day
arrives for the final adjudication.
