President in Favor Of Legislation Gov

Washington, Dec. a1.--Presidenl
Roosevelt embraced the opportunity TO.
day to take up with the members OF
the cabinet many questions OF detail
in departmental administration. the
semi weekly meeting OF the cabinet
being longer than usual. AT the con-
clusion Of the meeting the members OF
the cabinet said in response to In
qulries that little business OF serious
importance was considered.
After other members of the cabinet
had left the executive Office Attorney
General Moody discussed with the
president some phases of the railroad
freight questions. Both the president
and the attorney general recently have
devoted much time TO that problem
The latter is giving particular atten-
tion to the legal side OF the question,
so that he may be prepared 10 advise
with the president on the subject and
with such members Of congress as
may wish to consult him. II Is under
stood not to be the intention OF the
president and Attorney General Moody
to prepare and press the consideration

the assumption that the committees Of

Cutler Mountain Tragedy Is Being

BESSIE BoUToN. HER NAME

Looking for the Man Who
Passed As Her Husband.

Denver. Dec. s7.-The News today
says: Bessie Bouton. believed to b'
the young woman who was found on
Cutler mountain with bullet In hei
brain and her face burned beyond rec
ognition. was a guest at the Albany
hotel in this city from May to July
Is. This has been established by the
hotel register.
She was accompanied by man and
the couple registered as G. Boutou
and wife. Bouton became familiar
figure at sporting resorts and when he
left Denver. some time in August. ne
told his intimates that he was going
to Syracuse, N. Y.
The woman who knew the Boutons
best was Mrs. Mary Madison, maid
at the Albany. Mrs. Bouton told Mrs
Madison that her folks came from Ger
many: that her parents lived in Syra-
cuse, N. Y. and that her maiden name
was Kamter.
Clerk Doty of the Albany, in speak
ing of the Boutons. said:
"Bouton said they were from New
Orleans and they registered from there.
The description of the murdered wo-
man fits well with Mrs. Bouton, there
being no real points Of dissimilarity
that can now detect. During their
stay at the Albany Mrs. Bouton told
me her mother was sick and that she
must go back to Syracuse. He objected
and they quarreled but finally they
compromised by sending package t,
Syracuse"
DIR. Sherman williams prescribed fol
both the Boutons. while they were
the Albany. He had the following te
say: when l saw that the mur
dered woman's name was Bouton. at
once read the description given Of he
for / remembered two patients of that
name whom | treated at the Albany
hotel last summer. The description
printed in the papers tallies closely
with that OF Mrs. Bouton. This wo.
man has a good set Of teeth. but there
was much gold filling In them"
All describe Bouton as a tall an6
muscular appearing man.

ever, the government will attempt to

ment believes it was defrauded Of
Young is in the east. and it is unlikely
the government viii attempt to bring
his case to trial as the offense is NOT
extraditable. Sorenson was deputy
sheriff in Multnomah county several
years ago. and later was real estate
agent. He left Portland some weeks
ago and his present whereabouts are
unknown.
Senator John H. Mitchell has made
a request of the federal grand jury
that he be accorded the privilege Of
appearing before that body at the con.
clusion of the governments case, and
that he be furnished with digest Of
all the evidence there introduced
against him, and further that he be
furnished with the names Of the wit
nesses who may testify against him
This petition is set forth In a letter tc
Assistant United States Attorney r. J.
Heney, and in another letter to the
grand jury.
Mr.. Heney declares that the request
is most extraordinary one, and gives
It to be understood that it will not be
his policy to give to the senior senator
anything more in the nature Of privil-
eyes before the grand pury than would
be accorded any other citizen of the
United States in a similar situation.
1t is regarded as probable that the
diverging views Of the two officials
with reference to the rights or privil-
eges claimed by the senator may lead
to extraordinary developments.
1t was the original plan of Senator
Mitchell to appear before the grand
jury this afternoon, but he has changed
his mind, and instead of appearing to
testify has made the request stated in
the foregoing.
Mr.. Heney says 1t is within the prov
ince Of the grand jury to grant the re-
quest Of the senator IL 1t shall see fit
to do so, but he personally sees no
reason why he should be accorded more
privileges than the humblest citizen in |
the land Mr.. Heney appeared sur
prised at the new turn Of affairs, and
said that he had all along been pre-
pared to accord Senator Mitchell the
right to appear before the grand jury
as soon as he arrived, according to
desire expressed in the following tele-
gram from Senator Mitchell, dated at
Washington. December IS:
Francis J. Heney. Assistant United
States Attorney General: 1 will be in
