NEW xoEA 0u0 opec1dI 0e1VAC0s
Salt Lake, Utah, March 21.-Five
hundred young Mormons have united
to secure the enforcement of the
pledges against polygamy given to
the government when Utah became a
state. These young Mormons are par
ticularly vehement in their assertion
that the law must be obeyed by the
members of the Mormon hierarchy
as well as by other citizens.
They are thoroly American, and
they are not at all pleased by the
notorfety which the state received as
a result of the disclosures at the
smoot hearing. They were as much
surprised by the testimony Of Presi-
dent Smith as were the Gentiles Of the
east.
The movement to suppress poly
gamous practices has been secretly
going on for a week. It is stated
that the denouement will come al
the April conference of the Saints
The young Mormons will serve notice
that they will leave the church in 8
body unless President Smith and Other
high priests cease to violate the law
Mrs. Elizabeth Kompe, a German
emigrant, who recently arrived here
has set forth in an affidavit what she
alleges is the treachery Of the Nor
mon elders. She says that she was
induced by Mormon elders to leave
her husband and come to Utah. Sht
AYERS that she was offered polygamou!

SUPERINTENDENT
FOR PHILIPPINES
Secretary Taft Purposes Visit to
Islands as Preliminary to
Election.

Washington, March 21.-Secretary
Taft is contemplating return to the
Philippines in the event of Mr.. Roose-
velts election. The trip to be taken
by the secretary of war will mark the
first step toward self-government for
the islands.
The Philippine law provides that
two years after the completion Of the
census Of the Philippines the president
may direct general election in the
Philippines for the choice of delegates
to popular assembly Of the people
of the islands, to be known as the
Philippine assembly. The government
of the Philippines will then be placed
in charge of two houses, the Philip
pine assembly and the Philippine COM
mission, the latter appointed by the
president. Before this election can
take place, however, the president
| must be satisfied that a proper condi-
ton of peace has prevailed, and Sec
rotary Taft, by making a complete
tour Of inspection thru the islands,
will be in a position to report to the
president whether or not all conditions
1 make it advisable to permit the Fill
pinos to participate in a legislative
branch of the government. The
Philippine census now is practically
i completed, and it will be ready for
PRONUNCIATION within a very short
| time.
| Secretary Tafts present plans are
i to leave here in the summer of 1905

$l,500,000 SCHOOL
FUNDS ARE LOST
Texas State Senator Charges I'm
lawful Action in Payment of
Money.
New York Sun Special Service.

New York Sun Special Service.
Austin, Texas, March 21.-State
Senator Travis Henderson, who is a
candidate for the democratic nominal
ton for lieutenant governor, has is
sued a statement, charging that the
books of the state controller Of pub
lie accounts show that $1,500,OO0 of
public free school funds of the state
have been diverted and lost. He says:
The controllers report for 1888 shows
that the board of education purchased for
the school fund during 1888 $5l4,OOO of
state bonds. An examination of warrants
shows them to have paid therefor $7lS,-
9O1, entailing loss to the fund OF $204,-
9O1 in one years investment alone.
BY examining all the bond purchases
and payments made, find where this
fund has lost in premiums paid on bonds
and never returned not less than $3.50, 900.
Besides this item of premiums, salaries
of clerks in one or two departments were
paid out Of this fund without authority
of law and in direct violation of the con-
stitution, and the aggregate Of this item
alone will exceed $4,000.
Another great loss to this fund was
$500, 900 and more Of railroad bonds OF
the school fund loan of 1858, that have
been declared paid by the supreme court
of the United States in treasury warrants
issued during the war and Cancelled as
worthless.
These, together with innumerable small.
er diversions, none under authority Of
law or of the constitution, will bring the
aggregate losses to this fund since the
adoption of the constitution Of 1876 to a,
least s1,500,O0O, which that constitution
guarantees to make good to the educa
| tional fund.

Atlanta. Ga, March 21.-Suggesting
Senator Joseph w. Bailey of Texas as
a man eminently fit for the presidency,
Clark Howell, Georgia's national dem
>ocratic committeeman, declares that
with the election in November will end
the disposition of southern democrats
to stand back and let the presidential
nomination go always to some man Of
the north. Mr.. Howell says:
1.-The situation of the northern dem
ocracy on the eve of a national cam
paign as regards men of presidential
stature and harmony, invites southern
self-assertion as never before.
1.-THE south will not demand it this
year, but let the whole reunited coun-
try be put on notice that the forty
years embargo is ended with the ides
of next November, and that thereaf-
ter no point Of availability is to be
raised against the strongest men of the
nation simply because they happen to
hail from the southern States" @

CAPTAIN PIPER REPORTS
Investigation Shows Chicago Police
in Disgraceful Condition.

Chicago, March 21.-''There is prac-
tically no discipline and the force
could hardly be in a worse state"
With these words Captain Alexander
Ross Piper, United States army,
retired, former deputy commissioner
of the New York police department,
who has been in Chicago for seven
weeks Investigating the Chicago po-
lice force, electrified the members of
the City club.
According to. Captain Piper's re-
port, the Chicago police are in a dis
graceful condition of decentralization
and inefficiency. Instead of protect
ing citizens from criminals, the mem
bers of the force are drinking in sa-
looms, playing slot machines, or gos-
siping on the streets. Patrolmen were
accused of taking to their "holes'' at
every opportunity, instead of walking
beats. Old and incapacitated men were
found in soft snaps" robbing the de-
partment of active men sorely needed.
Wide-open gambling was found by
Captain Piper, handbooks are run
ming practically all over the city.
Some Of the station houses are as
serted to be unfit for use and a dis
Lgrace to the city.

DYING GIRLS
Her VICTIMS
This Is the Charge Now Made
Against the Edling
Woman.
Accused Of Impersonating a Dying
Girl and Securing Goods on
Credit.
When the Collector Called, the
Real Alma Johnson Was
Dead.

Learning that one Of the girls with
whom she worked at the city hospital
was about to die, the prisoner is ac-
cused Of going to a clothing company
and securing a $50 fur coat on credit
ia the name Of the dying girl.
This Is the remarkable charge now
made against Ida Edling who is al
ready under arrest.
II the charges against the girl are
proved, one of the most remarkable
and unusual forms of crime ever re-
corded in Hennepin county has been
unearthed. If convicted, Miss Edling
Will be shown up as a vampire whose
especial victims were dying girls, and
friends at that. Employed in a mental
capacity at the city hospital, the OPP
portunity for this peculiar form of
theft was not far to seek.
The prisoner does not look capable
of devising so ingenious a crime as
is now charged against her. She was
arrested a few days ago accused of Sc
curing the bank book of Anna Hill
man. while the latter lay at deaths
drawing $50, nearly all the sick girls
savings.
To-day the second charge developed
when a representative Of the Peoples
Credit Clothing company saw the Ed
ling woman in her cell and swore she
was the person who, under the name
Of Alma Johnson, had bought $50
coat at his place a week or SO ago.
She had paid 81 down and had
directed that the collector of the re-
naming installments call on her al
the city hospital. Even at that time
the real Alma Johnson was fighting
a fever contracted from typhoid pa
tents whom she attended at the city
hospital. When the collector called
Miss Johnson had died the day be-
fore. But the fur coat could not be
found among the dead girls effects
When the Edling woman was arrested
the Clothing company took steps to es.
tablish her identity.
Detective John Stavlo, who made
the arrest, says the prisoner has made
! damaging admissions equivalent to {
confession.
In recent reference to the Edline
woman, it was stated that she was EN-.
ployed at the Swedish hospital. AS {
matter of fact she has never worked
at that institution. She was in police
court this morning, but on account O
pending charges, will not be examined
until tomorrow.

JAPs MAKE QUICK MOVE
Army Hurried From Peng-yang and
OhelmulphO to An-ju. IS

Chi-fu, March 21.-The Japanese
army has made surprisingly quick
move in western Korea since Thurs
day. On that day Lieutenant General
Kodama, assistant chief of general
staff, with 200 officers, moved north
from Peng-yang, accompanied by three
brigades. The road had been made
clear north to ANU by the Japanese
cavalry week before and at least
16, 900 men of all arms are now on the
north side of the Cheng-chen-gang
river within three days easy march Of
the Yalu's mouth. i
The soldiers that had been canped
on the heights back of Chemulpho
were taken on transports Friday night
and hurried north into the bay OF
Korea, probably to be landed either
at Chinampho or at thu mouth Of the
tCheng-chen-gang river at Kasan,
where there is q good harbor, now free
of ice.
! Cruisers Of the second class were
with the transports and by to-day
probably 10000 troops will be north
Of the river. This indicates to, the
army officers here a swift blow this
week against the Russian lines!
