CHALLENGE MORMON VOTES.
Plan of the Democratic Committee In
! Idaho.

Boise: Ida., Oct. 30.-The Demo-
cratic state committee has given out
the following statement:
1.-THE Mormons of Idaho will be chal-
lenged as to their constitutional right
to vote in Idaho. Charles H. Jackson
will leave at once for the southeastern
part Of the state to take charge Of the
work leading UP to these constitu-
tional charges.
ISL The state committee took the view
that under the sworn testimony of the
church leaders in the Smoot case no
Mormon can vote under the provisions
Of the Idaho constitution.
L. ''The committees view of the situa-
ton has been augmented by the posi-
tive statements made in various cam
paign arguments by Senator Hepburn,
in which he contended vigorously that
the constitution was an effectual bar,
without the enactment of a statute, to
any one voting who teaches polygamy,
,lural or celestial marriage, or who
places the ecclesiastical law above the
civil law. = 49,.
1.-THE challenges will lay the founda-
ton for contest in congress as to
the right Of Mormons to exercise cleo
tive franchise under the provisions of
the Idaho state constitution"

Land RUSH
ENTER RACE FOR
CLAIMS ON NEVADA INDIAN
RESERVATION.

Thorne, New, Oct 30.-Early in the
morning thousands Of men were pre-
pared for the dash into the Walker
Lake Indian reservation, although the
signal for the start was not to be
given until noon. Promptly at IL
o'clock a big charge Of dynamite was
exploded and the race for gold was on.
Launches, rowboats, automobiles,
horses and burros were used to speed
the prospectors to the place where
the mineral deposits of the reservation
are located.
Charges have been freely made that
favoritism was shown in allowing GER
tain prospectors to enter forbidden
ground and stake out their claims be-
fore the signal was given. Owing to
the extent Of the territory to be guard
ed the small force Of Indian police has
found 1t impossible to keep the thou
sands of prospectors in check.

Diplomacy Alone Necessary TO Induce Utes to Return to
ReserVatiOn--lell Settlers They Would Starve
If They Remain at Their Old Home

Gillette, Wyo., Oct. 30.-Three hun
dred and fifty 5Utes,.. whom United
States troops have been sent to inter-.
cept, are still cannped on Powder
. river, north of here, but are making
preparations to move northwest to join
the Northern Cheyennes on the Grow
reservation. The Indians have already
sent messengers ahead to select camp
Ing grounds and to notify the settlers
and ranchmen that they mean no
harm. #&
It is believed by old Indian fighters
here that if proper diplomacy is used
there is no chance of battle with the
redskins, who are inclined to be peace
able, but resent the action Of the gov
eminent in demanding their return to
their reservation. They assert they
left. their reserve because they were
dissatisfied with conditions there and
would starve if compelled to remain
on the reservation. They simply left
for self-preservation and are going to
big water, wood, big game and life
happy" as Chief Appah expresses it.
Major Grierson, in command of the
Tenth cavalry. has recommended that
Indian inspectors and Sioux Indian
diplomats be sent here by the govern
mentkto hold big powwow with the
Utes and in connection with the army
try to induce the Indians to return.
Major Grierson is confident the In
dams will not return to their reserva-
tion unless confronted by an over
whelming force and will resist any
small force against them. When the
Indians are rounded up they will be
escorted, says Major Grierson, to Fort
Meade, there to be held pending fur

CONTINUE PROBING
San francisco Court Holds ". H. LandOn Legal District
Attorney Prosecution Of Alleged Municipal
81 GrafterS viii Now Proceed

San Francisco, Oct. 3o.superior
Judge Graham, at the opening OF his
court, decided that W. H. Langdon
was the legal de facto district attorney
Of San Francisco. He then adjourned
court until afternoon. An attempt to
debate the question at issue was over
ruled.
Judge Graham's decision means
that the appointment of F. j. Heney
as assistant district attorney stands
and that the Indictment and prosecu-
ton of alleged municipal grafters will
proceed. .
In anticipation of trouble fifty po-
hcemen were delegated to maintain
order in Judge Graham's court.
The days proceedings were unat.
tended by excitement or disorder
such as marked those of last Friday
The decision authorizes Mr.. Heney to
proceed with the examination of the
members of the grand jury to deter
mine their qualifications to serve. S
M. Shortridge. attorney for Abraham
Ruef, was refused permission to ad
dress the court, supposedly in obiec
ton to the ruling.
The brief character of the proceed
ings surprised and bewildered many
of those in the courtroom, who hat
expected long argument before thu
decision was rendered. The fact tina
District Attorney Langdon had beer
recognized by Judge Graham was no
generally known until the police begar
to clear the courtroom.

NONPARTISAN
HEARST DEPENDING. ON LABOR
VOTE FOR SUCCESS IN NEW
YORK STATE.

New York, Oct. 30.-As the last
week of the campaign draws near it
becomes more and more apparent,
says the Herald, in spite of the rain
bow statements put out by the Repub-
lican managers, that Hearst has gained
in strength in many counties outside
this city and that here he is, at least,
holding his own. ~.
He is directing all his energies to
capturing the entire so-called labor
vote, Democratic and Republican, and
he apparently is making a great sue
cess of the movement. If he had to
depend upon straight Democratic votes
exclusively there is not the slightest
doubt that he would be buried under a
mountain of votes, for the so-called old
line Democrats are as bitter as ever
against him and the number Of them
who say publicly that they will not
support him, on the ground that he is
not a Democrat, is large.
In spite Of all the stories to the
contrary little money is being spent on
either side, for the simple reason that
they have it not. The Democratic Or
ganization up state has not had any
patronage for dozen years or more
and, as most of the prominent wealthy
members have bolted Hearst, the treas
ury of the party is empty. Hearst is
a rich man, of course, but those who
know declare he Is not throwing any
money away and that those who fondly
hoped to tap his barrel have been dis
appointed.

ATTORNEYS KEEP THEIR SHARE

NeeQ MOT hefund Fees Collected TOR
"a Fraudulent Claim. H..
Washington, Oct. 3O.-According to
an opinion delivered in the supreme
court Of the United States attorneys
cannot be compelled to refund money
paid to them for the prosecution of "a
claim against an insurance company,
even though the claim is afterwards
found to have been fraudulent. The
decision was by Justice Holmes and
was delivered in the case of the Fidel-
ty Mutual Life Insurance company VS..
United States Senator Charles A. Gull
berson and other attorneys who repre-
sented the defendant in the case of the
Fidelity company against Jennie
Smythe Of Texas. Mrs. Smythe held
IN insurance policy on the life of her
brother, which was settled by the COM
pany upon his disappearance, with in
dications of drowning, half the amount
going to the attorneys. The brother
afterward was found to be alive and
Mrs. Smythe was ordered by the Tex
as courts to make restitution Of the
amount received by her, but the court
refused to make that order with refer
ence to the sums received by the attor-
aneys. The supreme courts decision
upholds that finding. Justice Holmes
said in his opinion that it was evident
that the money had been taken In
good faith. ,&4&

learned that the proclamation of a

and incapacity of their commander,
General Subbetich, who was relieved
Of his duties as governor general
simultaneously with the issuing Of the
proclamation, the soldiers were en-
tirely out of hand and had been hold
ing great meetings at which they dis
cussed a plan for the troops to aban-
don the frontier, march through the
empire to st. Petersburg and replace
the Romanoff dynasty by a military
