THE HORIZONS
Tn a State of Panic Over the Shoot
 Case.

Case.
 Salt Lake Special to New York World.
 A secret conference of the apostles and bishops of the Mormon Church was held today in Barrett Hall. Only the highest officials of the Church were admitted.
 The conference was called to consider the Shoot case and adopt ways and means of meeting the charges brought against the Church. The Mormon lead CTS have just awakened to the fact that not only Shoot but the Church leaders as well are on trial, and in consequence there Is a panicky feeling in high Nor mon circles.
 It is said that at the conference plans for outlining a policy for the witnesses who will be called from Utah to Wash ington were discussed. and also the tesd- mony which these witnesses may give with regard to the Church and it's doctrines.
 It was announced that President Smith and his five plural wives and his children will probably be summoned as witnesses. This cast a damper over the Mormons. When it was stated that the Senate would compel twenty or more polygamous chill dren of high Mormon officials who have been born since the manifesto to appear before the Senate Committee as ocular evidence that poygamy Is still being practised by the Church leaders. there was weeping and gnashing of teeth. It was at this point that the assembled churchmen realized the full gravity of the situation.
 | It is known that many Mormons be- lieve that Shoot should resign and avert an investigation of the domestic relations of the leaders. but the heads of the Church are defiant and will fight to the last. They believe that the fact that this is a Presidential year win enabl, them to triumph because President Snitl is able to make Utah Democratic or Re publican by simple wave of the hand The apostles are frightened but Smith i game"

Houston. Tex, Feb. I--Attorney Hep4 penburg for c. F. Dodge, who was ar~ rested at Alice today by rangers. has made arrangements for contesting the arrest through habeas corpus proceed ings which will be instituted at Beeville tomorrow. Dodge is at Alice tonight with a guard of rangers.
 The party left Houston last week and went to Galveston where tug was char- tered. heavy bonus being paid. Every effort was made to have the party lands cd in Mexico but an agent for Attorney Parker of Houston representing District Attorney Jerome of New York city was on board and persuaded the captain he would be liable for arrest, hence the landing was made at Brownsviiles whence the party went Saturday moru- ing by stage to Alice. ~

 While Senator Bailey was speaking. Judge Parker, who sat beside Judge Dem his O Brien. also of the Court of Appeals, seemed to be only good-naturedly inter ested, but when he was presented with a souvenir in the shape of an expired round-trip railroad ticket to Washington he took more interest in the proceedings.
 When the applause which followed the references to Parker and the Presidency had subsided the Judge told story about Southern negro who found him self the object of an impressive demon stration.

 Washington, Feb. 10.
 Congressmen, in the varied and vica- rlous experiences which beset them at the seat of Government receive from their constituents many curious requests for curious things. Only the other day Congressman Sheppard of Texas read in the House letter from a man in his district who asked. In addition to con- signment of garden seed, that he be sent A "suit of union clothes, or anything else useful" When Generald Wheeler was in Congress, his generous disposition, along with the aid of the Government. subject, ed him to many lavish demands Tor all kinds of truck. One of the last requests he got from the Eighth Alabama Dls- trict was for a side-saddle. These are just a few instances Of now occasionally the gloom, of public slavery Is dispelled. Usually the good-natured legislative agent does his best to accom- modate his constituent who wants some thing that is not in the Congressional quota, although 1t Is needless to say that sometimes he finds it impossible to com DIV with requests for things that may not properly be classed as Congressional Iagniappe.
 Representative John W. Maddox of the Seventh Georgia District, who has de- cided to retire from Congressional life after a service of twelve years in the House, has not been an immune with re- spect to the bizarre necessities of his constituents. But MT. Maddox disclaims that such things have influenced him In his desire for private life on the um- brageous banks of the Coosa at Rome. Ga. He had bravely declared. with the announcement of his purpose to quit Con- gress, that during the remainder of his term until the 4th of next March, he would strive to serve his people more faithfully and industrionsly than ever be-

 There is much more of the fraudss as they ramify through various ingenious pretenses.l The testimony before the local grand jury also reveals the fact that extensive corruption existed in several of the land offices in the West. The San Francisco ring had the complete run in a certain local office. where their claims were put at the top of the list. ahead of other claimants, in distinct violation of the law. R. H. Watkins.

 Do they want me- or are they only shouting?"
 This was the point of humorous story which Chief Judge Alton B. Parker told tonight when he found himself the centre Of a Presidential "hurrah" at dinner gwen at The Hub. in State Street, by prominent Democratic legislators who make their headquarters there.
 Judge Parker's reference to his Pres idential boom has created great enthus- siasm as did the nonchalant manner in which he turned the incident.
