MORMON DELEGATE
IS OBJECTED TO
But German Embassy Declines
to Be Drawn Into Utah
Controversy.

WASHINGTON, D. c., April A
Bearing a letter OF introduction from
Senator Dubois, of idaho, and a note
from Senator Kearns, of Utah, Charles
Mostyn Owen, of the Utah American
bureau of information, of Salt Lake
City, was received in audience at the
German embassy this afternoon by the
ambassador and protested against the
appearance at the international con-
gress on school hygiene, to be held in
Nuremburg, Bavaria, of Heber J. Grant,
who he charges is a Mormon and
morally untitled in every way to rep
appointed and which appointment is, Of
itself, an insult to the empire to which
he stands accredited"
The ambassador told Mr. Owen that
the embassy had no jurisdiction in the
matter, as the Berlin government was
not concerned in the appointment of
Mr.. Grant, nor would the case be diff
ferent if it were. There is a very firm
determination on the part of the en-
bassy not to become involved in the
Mormon controversy. So far as Nor
mons in Germany are concerned, the
German government has compelled
them to leave the empire.
Mr.. Owen, in an affidavit, alleged
that Grant had publicly declared him
self a polygamist in Utah, that he fed
the state after a warrant for his arrest
had been issued, and that while still a
fugitive he was appointed a delegate
to the hygienic congress.

LIE SUEUR, Mimi, April 4. - The
young marriageable women of this city
recently organized 1.-The Ladies' Bach

provide that no member shall reject
an offer of marriage, made in good
faith, by an eligible man, regardless of
age. He must, however, agree to have
the washing done at a laundry, build
the fires in the morning and not tell
how mother used to cook dinner. 1t is
further agreed that he must not visit
the lodge any more than one night a
month and not ask where his wife
was when she returns home from
the club at any hour or time.
The club members are strong on the

the rights accorded them by tradi-
ton as to proposals of marriage, but
insist on the young man, or old one,
paying for the license for the mar
riage ceremony. Provisions as to pin

1t is told that the president, vice
president and recording and financial

an exciting campaign is on to fill the

riages, as 1t is thought the of

OWATONNA, MIMI, April Awhile

was stealing ride to st. Paul was
brutalIy murdered by two tramps. Will
liam st. Martin, of Faribault, and A.
j. Driscoll, of Sac county, Iowa, saw
the hoboes kill the man and reported
the murder to the Owatonna police.
Two hours later two. men were ar
rested at Mortified, charged with hav-
ing committed the murder.
According to the story told by Dris-
coll and st. Martin, they were steal
ing a ride on the same train with the
two tramps and their victim. The ho-
boes and the murdered man were in
car behind the one in which Dris-
coll and st. Martin were.
AS the train neared Owatonna the
tramps demanded that the man, who
was in their company, hand over his
money. He was just about to COM
ply with their request when one of
the hOboes struck him over the head
with the butt of his revolver. The
other tramp then fired at the victim,
the bullet striking him in the center
Of his forehead
After assuring themselves that their
victim was dead, the two Weary Willies
coolly looted the dead man, taking ev-
erything Of value that he carried in
his pockets.
Driscou and ST. Martin, who wit
messed the deed, jumped from the train
mile north of OwatOnna and walked
back to town to inform the police.
They told the police that the murder
ers said that they would throw the
body from the train when they got a
few miles away from the village.
Searching parties are now hunting
for the remains Of the dead man, but
late tonight the body has not been
found The Owatenna police notified
