POWERS ASSERT
THEIR HONESTY
Have No Intention of Carving
Up China When War Ends.
HAY GIVEN ASSURANCES
CELESTIALS SEEM SAFE FOR
THE PRESENT.

ASHINGTON. Jan. 19.-Secretary
w Hay has secured positive assur-
ances from the powers that there
shall be no attempt made upon the in
tGgrity OF Chinese territory. Recently
il was reported that some OF the pow
els contemplated extending the terri
tOrial possessions they already had IN
China at the conclusion of the war in
balance Of power in The east asserting
that the outcome Of the war would bc
a readjustment of Chinese territorial
boundaries. A circular note was dis
patched by Secretary Hay to the pow
ers based on this Information with tho
result that they have NOW all positive
y disciaimed any such intention.
In a long cahlegram received 1T the
state department today from the Amer
lean rnbaSsy at Paris the FUcCch gov
erument reiterates it's position and as
suranCes in favor Of preservation of
China's administrati tive entity and ter

The American government was
p ompted 10 lake this action by Ger

cations abroad, that the powers were

GENTLE WOMEN
TAKE THE STAND
Two Utah Women Testify for
SmOof.
GLEN MILLER'S TESTIMONY
ALL WITNESSES ON HAND HAVE
BEEN EXAMINED.
lsnecIaI to ID IieraId-l

tHt ASHINGTON Jan. 1.-Two wo-
w men politicians of Utah were wit
nesees today before the senate
committee on privileges and elections in
the SmOOt hearing. They were Gentiles
and Republicans, and spoke warmly of
their regard for Senator SmOot as "A
man of high character. Both expressed
their adherence of polygamists, and
said they would not favor such men for
public office. These women attracted
great attention as notable exDonents
of equal suffrage and the woman in
politics. Their ardent and efficient
work, as related on the stand. was
surprising to those who supposed they
had some knowledge Of the subject.
Mrs. W. II. Jones showed that she I'M
derstandS the duties of a political boss
among women. She was one of the
original five whom Judge Miner select
ed TO start his endless chain which
helped TO defeat Senator Kearns
Richard Young, when on the stand
today was closely questioned as
TO the line of demarcation between the
temporal and spiritual power of the
church. He admitted that two apostles
are now in exile, one in Mexico and one
in Canada Rumor said they We're
there to evade the federal laws. Young
testified that both absent apostles arc
in as good repute in the church as those
remaining behind.
MI MllcI, formerly OF the starr OF
the Salt Lake Tribune. wEs a willing
and eager witness. He expressed the
opinion that high Mormon officials
should ask permission of the church TO
hold political office, as the require
ments of such office would interfere
with their church duties. Miller was so
voluble that he was several times re-
quested TO make his replies short.
John w. Hughes reported having
found seventy-four heads of poIyga-
nous families in Salt Lake City.
At the morning session Professor Tai
mage, under cross-examina ton, proved
a very tiresome witness His replies 10
all questions were evasive. He endeav-
ored and succeeded IN clouding every
issue, and in reality contributed little
TO the actual knowledge sought by the
committee. SO evasive and indirect was
Talmage in his testimony that he was
finally excused.
1t Is expected that Senator Smoot will
be called to the stand within a day or
two

COAL STRIKE Is

Nearly a Quarter of a Million

EMPEROR WILLIAM ACTIVE
PUBLIC SENTIMENT FAVORS
THE STRIKERS.

Berlin, Jan, 20 4 a. m.-The Voer-
waerts this morning estimates the
number of strikers in the coal mining
district at 24O. 600. The news from the
sCene of the strike shows no change in
the situation. Several cases of minor
disturbances are reported. such as
crowds hOOting strike breakers and po-
lice dispensing crowds. woUnding sew

Sentiment appears to be drifting in

Complaints in Writing.

Is thought that several weeks must

can be worked out.
Much interest attaches to today's sit

Aid for Strikers.
Cardinal Fischer of Cologne has sent
the strikers $3.50 to assist the needy.
Accompanying the donation is a letter

count Of lack of fuel.
Emperor Active.
Emperor Williams active interest in
the coal strike and his personal exer-
lions to settle it have produced a good
effect on the BOerse. Today the en-
peror received a member of the firm OF
Haniel & Co, one of the powerful coal
owning families of the lower Rhine and

Among the petty requirements of some

FIVE NEW COMPLAINTS
FILED AGAINST SWAN
Especial to The HeraId.O


Ogden. Jan. 19.-Thc developments in
the bounty frauds in Weber county to-
day were mostly such as were fore
casted I'm The Herald Of this morning.
The FIVE additional complaints charg-
ing w r. Swan with fraud in con-
nection with the certificates issued to
John NJ. Lee. who acted merely as
dummy for the purpose of getting the
money, were issued by authority of the
district attorney and were sworn to by
Sheriff Bailey.
Swan was taken into custody and
detained at the sherihs office. He has
engaged Judge W. l. Maginnis to look
after his interests and is making no
statements for publication.
Owing to an apparent conflict in the
laws applicable to the payment of
these certificates by the county treas
urerS, Mr.. Chambers, the treasurer for
Weber county, has refused to cash any
such paper and consequently Weber is
entirely free from any financial loss in
the matter Of the bounty steals ex-
ceptfng as II shares ia the general loss
of the state.
Mr.. Chambers states that the law

SENATE ACTS
ON BOUNTY LAW
Repeal Bill Goes Through With
out a Hitch.
Mr.. BRIGGS is ANGRY
OFFICIALS WORK WITH THOSE
OF OTHER STATES.

Little short of a miracle can now
save the wild animal bounty law that
has been so prolific Of fraud during re-
cent months in the larger counties of
Z tab. The senate passed a repeal bill
yesterday and the house Of representa-
tives is expected to take like action to
day. The bill as il passed the senate
leaves the penalty clause of the old Law
in effect and the understanding is that
a, new law devoid Of the old lOOpholes
viii be enacted before the adjournment
of the legislature.
No intimation is given out as to what
Will be done by the legislature to pro-
vide for the flood of certificates now in
the office Of the state auditor. The
joint committee Of the legislature ap-
pointed TO investigate the bounty
frauds and map out a course to be fol-
lowed is at work, but will make no def
mite move until after reports have been
received from all the county clerks in
the state
Investigating in Other States.
No additional arrests were made yes
terday either in Salt Lake or Ogden.
Both County Attorney ?. p. Christen-
sen and Sheriff G. +. Emery are work
ing quietly on the case and the i'm
preston grows that before they are
through there will be some sensational
revelations. No intimation VIII be Civ
en- out as to the nature Of the reveIa-
tfons to come or as to who are likely to
be brought into the net of the law. 1t
is an open secret that the officials in
Utah are working in harmony with the
officials in the surrounding states, and
it is assumed from this that the pro-
graRnme is to round UP the entire gang
that has been operating in the inter
mountain region throughout the year.
Prisoners Arraigned Today.
It is expected that Charles w. Jones
and D. 3. Davies viii be arraigned and
have their preliminary hearing before
Judge c b. Diehl today Both viii be
represented by counsel, and both refuse
to talk.
The information that comes from
Cheyenne to the effect thar the Wyo-
ming legislature in session there is con-
sidering an appropriation of $4,000 for
bOunties on wild animal skins is caus-
ing a smile to pass around among the
knowing ones in Utah. 1t is wondered
II there is a deficit 70 be cared for in
the neighbOring state as large as the
one here. In the proposed Wyoming
law the bounty on wolves is fixed at
81 and on coyotes at 81.

Gardner Lathrop OF Kansas City and
Cyrus p Waldridge, former mayor of
st. Louis, are mentioned as possible
compromise candidates should the con-
tinuance of the deadlock make neces-
sary the choice of another nominee
1t was stated today by Kerens men
that the real fight is on Thomas J.
Atkins. national Repu committee
man and former chairman Of the Re
publican state committee. The declara-
ton was made that should Niedring-
haCs be elected to the United States
senate on the endorsement of Atkins IL
would mean that Kerens would be
shorn of political power and prestige.
Olympia Wash. Jan. 19.-Today's
joint ballot for United States senator
by the legislature resulted as follows:
Foster, A; Piles. IS; Sweeney. 20:
Wilson. l6; Biethen, Democrat, 4;
Jones, 8.
Statement of Boilers.
Eight members of the legislature who
voted against Thomas X. Niedring-
haus today for Uniterd States senator,
tonight gave out a long statement in
which they Justify their action. They
say that it behooves the Republican
party of Missouri TO elect a senator
who is free from suspicion in any way
The statement then reviews the charges
against Mr.. Niedringhaus in connection
with a contribution of $4,000 by St
Louis brewers to the Republican cam
paign fund, and says:
We feel that it would be a great in
justice to the Republicans of this state
10 elect any man to the exalted position
or United States Ssenator who is
tainted in this manner"
The statement protests against the
activity of the federal fice-hoIders of
Missouri in Mr.. Niedringhaus' behalf
and declares that the eight members
viii continue to vote against him.

FAR-REACHING EFFECT.
Hays Note Likely to Preserve China
for Time.

Tor a lime.
Parts. Jan 19.-The French govern
nIent and other powers have received Il
communicable from the American
government which, If approved by the
powers. will exert a far-reaching effect
in preventing the territorial breakup
OF China when peace is eventually made
between Russia and Japan The Amer
lean initiative in this direction is dis
tinCt from the recent note relative TO
Russia's protest against Chinas alleged
breach of neutrality. This latter note
treats of the continuation of China 5
neutrality in the pending war. but the
other communication treats of Chinese
territory after the war is concluded
This step is based upon Information
reaching the United States government
that some of the powers are apprehen
sive that the eventual consideration Of
peace between Russia and Japan viii
lead to claims on portions of Chinese
territory. The American COmmuniCa-
ton tends to avert the possibility of
such claims being made, thus ensuTinE
g continuance of the present policies
Of the open-door and the territorial in
tegTity of the empire
The French. British and italian gov
ernments have approved the American
communication If other powers ap-
prove il il will constitute notable IN
Outstanding that the powers VIII not
make claims on Chinese territory when
peace is ultimately concluded
