"Perfidy' of the Militiaman
Earns for Him an EXcOria-
tion at Hands of Leading
Journal Of Sunny South
Special Dispatch to The Call.

LOS ANGELES, Jan. 6.-Comment
ing on the sudden change of front of
General Prescott, the Los Angeles
Times will tomorrow say editorially:
When a Senator or an Assemblyman
goes to the State Legislature unin-
structed and unpledged he has the full
est freedom of action, and may vote
for measures or for men according to
the best Cor the worst) dictates of his
own conscience. But the case is differ
ent when a member of the Legislature
goes to that body under instructions
or under pledge to perform a certain
action.
Frank C. Prescott, now Speaker of
the California Assembly, was not spe-
officially instructed to vote for Thomas
r. Bard for United States Senator. but
he was elected with the understanding
that he would support Senator Bard
for reelection to the Senate. His con-
stituents so understood-at least the
ajorit.y of them did-and to certain
persons Mr.. Prescott positively pledged
himself to the support of Mr.. Bard.
Now Prescott comes out, to the amaze
ment of everybody, and announces
that he is a supporter of Frank P.
Flint for the Senatorial toga. 1t would
be interesting to learn-if the inside
facts were attainable-just what in
fluences have been brought to bear
upon Mr.. Prescott to induce him to en-
act the role of a turncoat.
His selection for the Speakership was
a surprise hardly less than that of his
flop to Flint. While it is not openly
charged that there was any connection
between these two events, there are
those who profess to find such con-
nection as the only plausible explana-
tion Of his singular change of front.
AT any rate, II is apparent beyond all
controversy that Speaker Prescott has
proved recreant to his pledges in behalf
of Senator Bard, though in Adeserting
the Bard standard he may have kept
promises made to others whom 1t is not
necessary to name. His recreancy, 1t is
true. is no crime in legal sense. But
it is a moral crime and a political Of
fense which his constituents whom he
has betrayed will be slow to forget. No
holder of public Office who is found to
be untrustworthy and Janus-faced is
likely to be given chance to hold Of
fee after his perfidy has been found out.
The perfidy of Mr.. Prescott will give to
Flint one more vote. 1t will not ma
terially affect the Senatorial situation.
But it will materially affect the politi-
cal status of Mr.. Prescott, as he will
discover later on.

SENATE FINALLY CONFIRMS
THE NOMINATION OF CRUl
Objection Raised by Tillman to the
Recess Appointment of
the President


the President.
WASHINGTON, Jan. 6.-The nomi-
nation of w. ID. Crum, negro, to be
Collector of Customs for the port Of
Charleston, S. c., was confirmed by the
Senate in executive session to-day by a
vote of 33 to IL. Crum had been nomi-
mated by the President three times and
had received three recess appointments.
He is now serving under the last OF
these recess appointments.
Senator Tillman made a speech de-
voted almost entirely to the constitu-
tional right of the President to make
a recess appointment when no actual
recess had occurred, the Senate having
adjourned one session and begun
another at noon of the same day.
The race issue played very insig-
nificant part in the debate, which was
participated in by fully dozen Sen
ators.
When Crum receives his commission
he will be entitled to receive the salary
which has accumulated since his first
appointment.

TRACED SOUTH
FROM THIS CITY
More Light on Movements OF
Mrs. Bishop, Who May Be
Cutler Mountain Victim
Special Dispatch to The Call.

COLORADO SPRINGS, Jan. 6.-In
following up the connection of Mrs.
Augusta I. Bishops name with the
Mount Cutler tragedy, some circum-
stances tending to support the theory
that she was the victim have been un-
earthed, although there is some con-
fusion in the name. A Mrs. K. I.
Bishop was in Cheyenne Canyon on
November Is in company with man,
who was evidently a stranger to her.
The couple called at the photograph
studio of J. M. Haves, keeper of the
tollgate, and picture of the woman
was made by Haves' assistant, J. r.
Miller Mrs. Bishop wanted her escort
to have his picture taken with her,
but he refused.
Miller describes Mrs. Bishop as O
woman about FIVE feet three inches in
height, about 125 pounds in weight and
with hair the color of the murdered
woman She displayed many diamonds
in the studio. She was neatly dressed
and wore a long coat and cap. Her
general description taliies with that OF
the murdered woman.
Miller is unable TO say Wnetner tnere
was gold in the woman's teeth. The
address left by Mrs. Bishop for the for
warding of the photographs was the
Palace Hotel, San Francisco. She asked
that they be mailed on November 15. Nc
word has ever been received from Sar
Francisco as to whether she ever re-
ceived the pictures.
A man and woman, registering as
Mr.. and Mrs. K. d. Bishop of Cleve-
land. arrived at the Palace Hotel in
this city 'on November IS and departed
a short time later for Los Angeles. The
woman's description, according to the
statement of one of the clerks of the
Palace, corresponded with that con-
tained in the above dispatch. The
couple, before leaving, said their des-
tination was Los Angeles and they re-
quested that any mail that might ar
rive for them be forwarded to the An
gelus Hotel in that city.
Later they sent another request to
the Palace to have their mail forward
ed to the same address, but as far as

Third Set of Teeth.

Appanoosc county has a man who IS
cutting his third set of teeth. From
the Centerville lowegian we learn the
following regarding it:
4 very remarkable case that is taking
place in Center Vile at this time is the
cutting of third set OF teeth by
Stephen Root, an old Appanoose settler,
a man of 81 years of age. This seems
remarkable and hard to believe but it is
fact nevertheless. In an interview
with one of the members of Mr.. Roots
family, she said: "of course it is the
truth. You see short time ago his
gums commenced getting sore and
finally two front teeth made their APP
pearancc followed by six more, his third
set"
Mr.. Root is an old settler in this
county and lives about one mile NORTH
of town on the Forbush road near the
top of Fishers hill. He is quite :
strong man for his advanced age, and
would have been hale and hearty had il
not been for two runaways he has hae
within the last twelve years. Center
Vile people have no doubt read Of in
cidents like the above, but now here a
home is man with his third set OF teet
and all sound.

Dunnlng Bank Creditors Will Get
Dividends.

Trustee ]. z. Scott, who has had in
charge the business Of settling up the
affairs of the defunct Citizens bank,
announces that he will soon be ready to
pay another dividend to the creditors
In fact he is work. ing on it now, and 1T is
p ,ssble the dividend will reach the
creditors in time so that the money
can be used for Christmas shopping.
&c 1t, and the total amount of this dis
bu semcnt will reach abo1t sixty thou
sa id dollars. The money has been de-
rived mostly from the sale OF the
Cunning land at public auction. The
land brought about SiS,00O, and added
to this amount is about ten or twelve
| from notes and accounts due the bank
Mr.. Scott is busy at present making out
the chects whicl, have 10 be counter
signed by Referee $. S. Etheridge be-
fore the money can DC disbursed. There
are about six or seven hundred of these
checks to be sent to creditors They
will probably go to Dcs Mones this
week, and will be returned to Mr.. Scott
as soon as they are counterslgned sby
Mr.. Ethridge. Tney will then be mailed
to the credi ors, and the money will be
paid from both of the Mt. Ayr banks.
The other dividend paid last May was
ten per cent, so i will be seen that
the bank will pay little more than a
twenty-five per cent dividend. 1t was
first feared by many that the bank
would not pay over ten or fifteen pen
cent in all, and for long time many
creditors would have been satisfied
with fifteen per cent In fact a number
of creditors sold their accounts TO
fifteen cents on the dollar. and few
were sold at even greater discount
Trustee Scott is very anxious to close
up the business of the bank, and h,
thinks the final settlement with TIN
creditors can be reached some time be
fore March lst The business is prac
tically all settled at the present time
A large number of notes due the ban
Still remain unpaid, and they amount t,
about seventyfve thousand dollars
However, these notes are not consider
ed gilt edged. In fact when it comes t
notes, Trustee Scott has some very dc
sirable holiday bargains, and he wi
close out the entire lot at greatly RI
duced prices. In order to close up til
business of the wrecked bank, Mr.. Scot
has concluded to put these notes up :
auction and sell them for just what the
will bring. \ list OF the notes will t

tion day comes the buyers will then !

Scott hopes to be able to pay anoth'
