OFFICIAL ACTION
STILL LOOKED FOR
Board of Control Remains Si-
lent Concerning Charges
Against Wolfer.

Yesterday was not productive of any
new developments in the prison shoe
contract scandal, and until Gov. Van
SAINT returns to the city, the board of
control consents to talk, or w. B. Jor-
dan can be communicated with, but
little that is new can be expected.
The general sentiment throughout
the city yesterday was that Warden
VOTERS explanation was one that did
not explain, and the people through
out the state who had their eyes open
ed by the statements of Mr.. Jordan,
made in Fridays G o b e, are Of the
opinion that something more than
vague denia1s should be made by a
man holding a position of trust such
as that vested in Warden Wolfer.
The members of the board of con-
troll, at least those who were in the
city, were not any more inclined to
discuss the matter yesterday than
they were the day before, and no state
ments from the board are expected I'M
til the matter has been thoroughly dis
cussed by that body.
Gov. Van SAINT, who has been out of
the city for some time, has not been
communicated with since the sensa-
tional charges We're made, but even
when he returns to st. Paul, which he
is expected to do today, it is considered
most likely that he will remain silent
until some statement is made by the
board Of control.
w. B. Jordan, who made the state
ment in which Warden Wolfer was
charged with owning $4,000 worth of
stock in the company holding the priS-
on shoe contract and with demanding
an additional $21 900 worth of stock,
left for the West after having waited
a sufficient time for the board to make
some statement, and an effort to reach
him at Miles City, Mont, yesterday,
failed, because he had left for Cali
fornia.
The general dissatisfaction aroused
by the unsatisfactory denial of War
den Wolfer, added to by the failure OF
the board Of control to make some
statement, was manifest yesterday
wherever the matter was discussed,
and many well known Republicans de-
clared that something more than a de-
NAL was due from both Warden VOL
fer and the board.
''Wolfer's explanation did not ex-
plain anything" said a prominent Re-
publican yesterday afternoon. 1T is up
to Mr.. WoIfer to do something more
than deny, and it is up to the board
of control to make public some state
ment regarding the matter without
waiting to fix matters up The people
of the state are entitled to this, and it
is due them from the officials of the
state affected by Mr.: Jordan's state
ment"

SMITH REPRESENTS
A MORMON HAREM
So Says Rev. DR.. Boyle Speak
ing of President of the Late
ter Day Saints.

""The representative of Mormon
harern, . said DR.. w. II. w. Boyle, pas
tor of the House of Hope Presbyterian
church, speaking last night, before his
evening sermon, of President Smith,
head of the Mormon church
Upon the subject 1.-THE Effrontery of
| Mormonism," DR.. Boyle maintained
| that the case of Senator SInoot, sent
| to Washington as the agent of a re-
| ligious and political organization, had
been compared to that of senatorial at
torneys for the great Industrial and
| railway organizations. But the cases
were different. Testimony recently
presented at Washington had sSown
| that the Mormon church, as a violator
of law, ventures far beyond the ordi-
nary corporation.
| President Smith has testified in
effect, that when revelation of the
| church teaches him he ought to have
five wives instead of one, he should
| accept the revelation and laugh at the
civil law.
| 'The letter of this testimony is bad
enough, but the spirit Of it, the I'M
blushing effrontery of it-that is in
fnitely worse. The strong arm of the
| law may stop the further commission
/ of actual crime; but the spirit that can
4 invoke the divine presence and then
| descend to blasphemy-what power
can suppress that Mormon spirit?"
! DIR. Boyle read resolutions adopted
recently in Ohio by ''the reorganized'
/ Church of Latter Day Saints, which
! church believed, without doubt. in
| polygamy. A letter from Salt Lake
/ related that high officer of the Nor
mon church announced, some time ago,
before students of the Utah State uni
1 versity, that he was the husband Of
! two wives, and the announcement was
received with applause.
Would BelittIe Opposition.
An attempt had been made, said DR..
Boyle, to belittle the opposition to
| Mormonisn. But that opposition, he
| insisted, was the moral backbone of
| the country, the accredited representa-
tiEes Of thirty-nine Christian
churches
That Smoot had owed his election
to the Mormon church was evident;
yet President Smith had made known
the guiding principles of the church
by confessing that, in a conflict be-
! tween the two authorities, he would
! take Gods law, not mans law; he was
/ convinced, moreover, that tIOu naQ Set

1 Nov, I don't believe in promiscuous

HANGS HIMSELF
BY HIS AECKTI[
George Manner. Despondent
Over the Loss of His Posi-
ton, Commits Suicide.

Despondent over a disagreement
with his employer, George Manner,
forty-three years old, teamster in
the employ of c. J. Ertz, commission
merchant, 10 East Third street, COM
mitted suicide yesterday by hanging
himself to the handle of a shed door
with his neektie.
Manner returned to his home, IS
seemingly very downcast, and when
questioned by his family as to the
cause of his dependency said that he
had had some trouble with his employ
er and had quit his job. He remained
In this mood all the evening, but finally
went to his room about II o'clock
AT O'Clock yesterday morning Mrs.
Manner found that her husband was
not in his room and made a search
for him through the house. His hat
and coat were in the same place where
he had left them the night before, so
thinking that he was probably in the
yard in the rear of the house she did
not look any further.
When, however, an hour went by and
the man did not appear she went out
into the yard and found that the door
of the shed was closed and locked.
The key was on the inside.
Find Him Hanging From Door.
After vainly trying to open the door
herself, Mrs. Manner summoned the
assistance of Patrolman Guerin, who
forced the door and found Manner
tied to the handle of the shed door,
through which he had passed his neck
tie and then fastened slip-knot
around his neck.
The officer at once cut him down and
tried every means in his power to
resuscitate the man, but all his efforts
were unavailing, Manner having evil
IDENTIFY been dead about an hour. Cor
oner Miller was at once notified and
was on the scene in few minutes.
An examination of the dead mans
effects cast no light on the matter.
From inquiries among the acquaintan-
ces of the suicide it seems that he was
working as usual on Saturday. He was
at the union depot during the day
attending to his firms business and
said nothing at that time which would
warrant the belief that he was at all
unhappy or in difficulties.
At p. m. he suddenly informed his
employer that he wished to quit. He
was paid off and was not seen again
until his return home at about o'clock
the same night.

by mail Immediately upon the shipment
of their displays notice conveying
full information as to character, des-

reach the exposition in advance of the

failed to appreciate the necessity of
this notification, which has resulted in
the consignment of the material to
storage and a delay of from one to
three weeks in delivery at the exhibit
space.
