LEE STORY WAS FALSE.
True Status Of Sutherland Relationship
-Prospective Senator Popular.

SALT LAKE. January 11.-There has
been number of specials published in
eastern papers regarding the parentage Of
Mrs. George Sutherland, to the effect that
her father was John D. Lee, executed for
completely in the Mountain Meadows mas
sacre. Mrs. Sutherlands father was John
Perciyal, the family being a branch of the
Virginia Lees. He was born in Tennessee
The John d. Lee family was from New
England There is not the remotest rela-
tionshp between the two families, by
blood, marriage or otherwise.
The reported selection of former Renre
sentative George Sutherland as the success
sor of Senator kearns in the United States
senate is being commented on among SEN
ators another addition TO the Younger
men of that body who have in recent wears
come in so rapidly to take the place of
older senator's. There are now only a few
senators whose experience extends back 10
the civil war.

were children or were born during the
war
Mr.. Sutherland was born in 1862. in
Buekin ghamshire, England, where he re-
ceiyed his comomn school and academic
education. He was young man when he
came to TINS country and began the study
of law at the University of Michigan, be-
ing admitted to the bar in 1888
Many statements have gone the rounds of
the press in relation to Mr.. Sutherland
that those who are most familiar with his
case are positive in declaring are entirely
without foundation. Among these is the
statement that he is a son-in-Iaw of John
ID. Lee. who was mixed up in the Mountain
Meadow massacre of 1857. Many years ago
a report to this effect was started, but in
vestfgation showed it to be entirely with
out foundation.
While Representative Sutherland was in
the F1fty-seventh Congress he took no very
prominent part in national affairs, but was
very favorably regarded among his asso-
ciates. He is man who makes friends and
Is generally spoken of as very popular He
is lawyer of good repute. and his friends
declare that he will be found not only an
able member of the Senate. but hard and
conscientious worker who can be depended
upon to do much laborious committee work
of a kind that is not always popular.

Russia Must Recognize Conditions.
RECALL NOT CONFIRMED.
Preparations to Reinforce Rojestvensky
Pointed to as Evidence

ST. PETERSBURG, January 1.-THE ad-
miraIty has not given the slightest official
confirmation of the report of the recall
OF Vice Admiral Rojestvensky's squadron.
On the contrary. the officials point calmly
10 the preparations being made to REIN
force the squadron with division of the
third Pacific squadron as sufficient evil
dence that Rojestvensky will not return
- European waters.

for the ships which are being made ready

Under the French regulations 1t is main
tanned that RojestvenSky ships could

Jtbutil. French Somaliand, in the waters
OF the island of Madagascar, and the island
or reunion and other French islands until
complaint from Japan, inasmuch as the
regulations are the same as those issued
during the Spanish-American war
Certainly only absolute necessity will
compel the admiralty to forego the strate-
gtcal advantage of keeping Admiral Roiest-
vensky In a position OF constant MANAGE
to the japanese while awaiting reinforce
ments.
The reports of the arrival of Japanese
warships at Diego Garcia, Chagos Islands,
are not credited at the admiralty, though
there is reason to believe that armed
Japanese colliers may be cruising as far
west as the Chagos Islands, but there are
no regular warships there.

delegation is interested only in the Okla
homa bill. He said also that the people
of Oklahoma and Indian Territory not
only want statehood, but want to come in
on the same footing as other states. I'VE
don't want any restrictions. he said. Let
them give us statehood, and let them give
II to us on footing of self-respect."
They found many senators friendly to

State Bank in Grand street, waited at the
doors OF that bank all night last night

persons We're waiting anxiously to with

number of excited depositors had doubled
and police reserves had been called out
to maintain order In the crowd.
The run on the bank, which began yes-
terday afternoon, was resumed as soon as
the doors We're opened today. The trouble
began yesterday from rush of depositors
to place their money in the bank The
excitable small depositors of the East Side
misunderstood the nature of the rush to
the bank. and, mistaking 1t for a run.
joined in and began to take out their
money.
The bank officers made preparations to
meet renewal of the run today and were
ready to pay over the money when 1t was
commenced again. A truck load of cam

100000 in gold arrived at the bank this

BEEF TRUST REPORT
IT WILL NOT BE READY FOR SEW.
ERAL WEEKS.

Commissioner Garfield of the bureau of
corporations of the Department of Com
merce and Labor said this afternoon that
1t would be several weeks before his report
on the beef trust inquiry was ready for
submission to the President In accordance
with the authorization Of Congress the
bureau of corporations has made special
investigation into the methods of the sew
eral large corporate bodies controlling the
better part of the fresh meat market of the
United States. Their books have been
placed at the disposal of the representa-
tives of the bureau and it Is understood
that every facility has been granted the
government in obtaining insight into
the many branches of the business
The work has been of immense propor-
tions and has covered an immense terri
tory, from the ranches of the far west to
the packing houses of Kansas City Omaha,
Chicago and other points. AS a conse-
quence the material which Commissioner
Garheld has had placed at his disposal
and which he is now having put into con-
crete shape will, when finished, make
large volume.
Mr. Garfield explained that the present
case OF the United States against Swift Il
Co. in the Supreme Court had nothing IN
common with his investigation of all of the
neat-packing industries of the country.
Ihe case now under advisement by the
supreme Court was brought by the United
states on charges that the defendants had
violated the Sherman antitrust law. If
such violations are proven it will result in
other cases Of like nature wherever the
violations are supposed to exist The law
on the subject is plain, and it remains to
be seen If the Department of Justice will
act as Congress intended when the Sher-
man act became "a law.
There has been no investigation of the So
called tobacco trust, but such action on the
part of the bureau Of corporations may b,
looked for some time soon. AIr. Garfield said
that there was no special case now being in
Vest1gated, but that his bureau was con-
tinually looking into matters which it.
has, under the law. the right to investigate.
Inc methods of all corporate bodies are to
be inquired into and II there are any vio-
lations of the law the matter will be taken
up by the President and submitted to Com
gress for action against tile concerns so
violating the statutes

tending authority to the interstate COM

made before the House committee on inter-

denial of the authorship of the statement,
whereupon Representative Mann called his
attention to the subsequent proceedings
before the committee when he had given
Mr.. Bacon opportunity to deny the state
ment and he had declined to do so. II

deny it, thought you ought to deny 1t for
your own integrity and that of your asso-

arrived from st. Petersburg, after lengthy
audience with Emperor Nicholas following
the fall of Port Arthur.
The admiral. who is chief of naval con-

Naval Plans Favorably Considered.
The outlines of this plan were cabled to
the Associated Press Saturday Doubasof
says the emperor gave it most favorable
consideration, and said it would be sub
mitted TO the council of ministers.
Il am convinced" said Admiral Doubas-
soft "of the immediate necessity for the
reconstruction of fleet at all the Rus
sian and foreign shpyards for the purpose
of securing strength sufficient TO command
supremacy at sea. This is absolutely IN
dspensable if We are TO expect victory of
the next war with Japan. The remnant of
our fleet is hardly more than debris, and
entirely unequal to Japan's naval strength"
Russia Must Recognize Conditions.
The admiral further said it was necessary
to recognize these conditions, however pain
full they might be to national self-love.
Therefore, lie added, Il do not hesitate
TO say that we tend toward not far eff
