CASES DEBT
 IS SETTLED Bonding Company Paid
 State $6,664.2O. WILL WITHDRAW SUIT Claim Against Mobiles Ex- Tax Collector LiQuidated. Attorney General Wilson Says This Amount Does Not Include Miss ;
 ing Receipts That May be

The claim of the State against John Case as Tax Collector of Mobiel County was liquidated yesterday and the suit pending against the Fidelity and De- posit Company of Maryland as surety on his bond will be dismissed.
 When Attorney General Massey Will son opened his mail yesterday after- noon he found a letter from Bestor Gray and Bestor. attorneys of Mobile, enclosing a check on the Hanover Ma tional Bank of New York for $6.664.20. The check was signed by the Fidelity and Deposit Company of Maryland.
 The Mobile law firm wrote the Att torney General that as the proposition of the State was understood by them this amount covered all of the States claim against Case and they requested that the suit which was filed by the State some time ago in the City Court of Montgomery, be dismissed.
 It Is probable that Attorney General Wilson will on Monday make motion in the City Court to dismiss the suit against the sureties of case. The State will pay the costs.
 MT. Wilson said yesterday that the amount of the check, which was for warded to the State Treasurer for col lection, represented the sum reported by State Examiner Sedberry as due by Case and it includes two receipts made by Oscar s. Tam, as Deputy Collector in Cases office. approximating $75. The check does not include receipts that may hereafter be found which were taken from missing stub books.
 It will be remembered that Examiner Sedberry at first reported that Case was due something over 5000 on ac- count of errors in his office as Tax Col lector of Mobile County during the year 1900. A subsequent examination

 House Ceremony.
 Washington, Jan 14.-EleVen witnesses testified today before the Senate Committee on Privileges and Elections in the investiga- tion of protests against the seating of sena- tor Shoot.
 All except two told of political condi- tions in Utah and of the Mormon endowment house ceremony. Several witnesses said the ceremony included no obligations that were in conflict with tho duties of a citizen to his state nation.
 Chairman Burrows asked two of the wit nesses to give the nature of the ceremonies. but both refused the ground that they had given oaths not to divulge what had taken place within the temple. They both claimed not to be Mormons now. one having been expelled and the other voluntarily with drawing from the church.
 A former judge of the Supreme Court un- der territorial and state governments told of the prosecutions for polygamous cohaoita- tion, expressing the opinion that polygamy was now almost thing of the past and that tho sentiment of the Mormons in the state was against plural marriages.
