WOULD PROSECUTE
MORMON CHIEF.

SALT LAKE CITY, Sept. 2l.-Parley
P Christensen. attorney of Salt Lake
County, was cited today to appear on
Wednesday next in the criminal di-
vision of the State District Court be-
fore Judge Armstrong and show WIN
he should not direct the Issuance of
a warrant for the arrest of Joseph. F.
Smith, president of the Mormon church.
on a charge of sustaining unlawful re-
lations with one of his FIVE wives
The citation was issued on the pc
tition of Charles Mostyn Owen who
has been active in gathering testi-
mony against Senator Smoot in the
proceedings before the United States
senate committee on privileges and
elections On September il Owen ap-
peared before justice OF the peace
and swore to a complaint making a
statutory charge against President
Smith. The complaint was based upon
the fact that on May 81 last. President
Smiths forty-third child was born to
Mary. T. Schwartz Smith, the Mormon
presidents fifth wife. at her home in
this city.
AS witness to the fact, the complaint
cited the four other wives of President
Smith and several apostles and leaders
of the Mormon church. including SEN
ator Smoot and Governor Cutler
Under the law the warrant could not
be issued except on the approval of
the County Attorney. The complaint
was permitted to rest in the County
Attorneys Office without action, but
ii was commonly understood that there
would be no prosecution of the Nor
mon president by direction of the
County Attorney.
Friends of Christensen charged that
the fling OF the complaint was an at
tempt on the part of the anti -Mormons
TO embarrass him in his candidacy for
the Republican nomination for Con-
gresham. Christensen was defeated
for the nomination in. yesterdays con-
vention by Congressman Howell.

SPECIAL DISPATCH no THE CALL.

SPECIAL. DISPATCH TO THE CALL.
SANTA CRUZ, Sept. 21.-The Wat
sonvil1e train due here at12.3o collided
with the 1901 train for San Francisco
at Aptos this afternoon. Both engines
were wrecked and four people injured
The northbound train was standing on
the main track when the solthbound
over twenty minutes late, came around
the slight curve just above the sta
tion and crashed head-on into the
standing train. The locomotives were,
telescoped, the one attached to the Wat
sonvilIe train being lifted clear of the
rails, it's driving wheels splintered and
the boilers crushed.
George Watterson. capitalist of
Alameda, was hurled through a glass
door and suffered broken nose and
some bad cuts on the head. Watterson
is - years old, and was badly shaken
up.
Brakeman Charley Long of Santa
Cruz, who was on the southbound train,
received severe injury to his right
hand and was cat on the face
W. NJ. Elsonl of this city was thrown
fifteen feet but escaped with few
minor injuries. A passenger, who re-
fused to give his, name, received a bad
ly lacerated wrist and severe contu-
sion of the elbow.
The passengers on the morning train
were all thrown violently against the
seats and many were cut by breaking
glass The passengers were unanimous
in declaring that the accident was due
to carelessness on the part OF those in
charge of the southbound train Engi-
ner Kelsey. one of the Oldest men on
the road, was at the throttle and Con-
ductor Sam Richards was in charge
1t appears that Kelsey misunderstood
his orders and was trying to make
Capitola by 12:55.
The passengers declare that the curve
is not sharp enough to obstruct the
view, and that in trying to make up
lost time the engineer took no pres
caution
Mrs Senator Flint and three children
were on the San Francisco train. but
beyond a severe shaking up received
no injuries. They proceeded by auto
mobile. Rev Mr.. Kinby. presiding elder
of the San Jose district, was also on
the wrecked train, but escaped unhurt.

DOMESTIC TRADE
RECORDS BROKEN.

NEW YORK, Sept Pr G. Dun &
Co.'S Weekly Review of Trade will say
tomorrow: Unseasonably high tenn
epratures in some sections OF the
country retarded the distribution OF
fall goods, but with tire assistance of
special sales, reduced stocks OF summer
merchandise to most satisfactory po
sition. High rates for money have de-
layed mercantile collections som ewhat.
and there is still complaint of scarcity
of labor, but confidaneo in the future
remains unshaken. The volume of do.
mestic trade is beyond all records. and
foreign commerce exhibits some strik-
ing comparisons. Total merchandise
exports in August were valued at about
s12, ,000, 600 more than the same month
in any previous year. and imports rose
$40, 600, 600 above the prec sding record
for August. Foreign trade at this port
alone for the last week showed gains
of s2.sSo,567 in exports and sS3s,344 in
imports, as compared with s05. The
traffic blockades are frequent, despite
increased facilities that made possible
gain of Ill per cent in railway earn
ings in September thus far.
Bradstreet's tomorrow will say:
Wholesale and jobbing trade continues
active. though something like natural
reaction from the high tension buying

the country. for currency is still very
heavy and high rates are looked for
despite heavy gold imports, until after
October l. when the crop movement is
expected to enlarge. Business failures
are down to the minimum. bank clear

gross railway earnings exceed last

ket, containing also lot of silyerware
and a woman's bank book, were found
yesterday by Charles Wieman, mer-
chant of South Berkeley, in the front
yard of his residence at 5000 Adeline
street The jewels are estimated to be
worth about $500.
The entire collection reposes, secure
and perfectly safe, in the big vault of
one of the Berkeley banks. The police

in the strange find, unable to gain a
clew to show whether the valuables
discovered by Wieman were thrown
away by a den,ented person. by a flying
thief or by the owner Wieman is as
thoroughly mystiied as are the police.
He literally gives it up having re-
linquished the jewelry and other arti-
cles found to the authorities.
Not the least extraordinary feature
of the strange affair is the fact that
the basket containing the diamonds
and other jewelry lay in Wieman's
front yard for several days before he
took notice of the package. Wieman
