TRIED TO KEEP
A. Il. OPSAHL OUT
immigration Officials at New
York Make Him Prove
Citizenship.

Anton H. Opsahl, the well-known
photographer Of this city has been de-
tanned at New York, by the immigra
ton officials and has been prevented
from continuing his journey homeward
on the pretense that he is not an Amer:
lean citizen. He has been compelled
to send to Minneapolis for his citizen
ship papers and will be detained for
several days in New York at a time
when he is particularly anxious to be
in Minneapolis to get into the fall
rush.
Mr.. Opsahl has lived in Minneapolis
for quarter of century and has been
a voter and a taxpayer most Of that
time. He voted first for James G.
Blaine in 1884 and has participated in
every election since that time.
Mrs. Opsahl was furious when she
heard Of the treatment accorded her
husband. She has already placed her
self in communication with an attorney
and will push the matter to the limit
to secure satisfaction for the indignity.

Winnipeg, Man., Aug. ;23.--Professor
Reuben Andre, we'll known in Winni-
peg and Portage la Prairie, returned to
the city today with his fists full Of sdia-
monds in the rough which he says he
discovered somewhere within the con-
fines of the province of Manitoba. He
took them to several local jewelers.. who
pronounced them to be stones of the
first water. He has staked his claim
and forwarded samples to New York
by the Dominion Express, insured for
$4,000. 1': H.
To Winnipegers the only surprising
part Of this story is the fact that the
diamonds were discovered so close. to
the city, as the country surrounding
the city for many miles is but huge
wheat field and mineral discoveries are,
therefore, generally purely. accidental.

Paris, Aug. 23-Santos Dumont yes
terday was able to raise himself and
his new flying machine above ground
without a balloon and with no other
motive force than a 24-horse-power
motor, running indifferently, thus per
forming feat that never previously
was accomplished. @Ss.s. -.*t:...

and set the motor in motion. The
structure darted to the far end Of the
field, where it turned and came back.
On the next rush everyone present
saw the machine travel forward sup.
ported only on air six inchese above
ground.
ct am more than satisfied said M
:Dumont. II have accomplished more
than I dared to hope, and am now Ger.

sustain prolonged flight along the sur.

the telephone company there, thirty
were killed. - .~-
When the house Of President-elect
Mont collapsed, his wife fell from the
balcony into the street, and bandits
who were passing cut off her ears and
fingers to rob her of her jewelry. She
was taken in a dying state on board
the Chilean warship O'Higgins.
Among the dead at Valparaiso, is
Federico Varella, the famous capital
list and politician.
Heavy rains have been falling at
Valparaiso, which have increased the
hardships endured by the 100000
camping in the streets and squares or
on the hills surrounding the city.
Considerable alarm is felt here in
view Of the conditions in Chile, as no
food supplies are coming from that
| republic to Peru and the latter country
does not produce sufficient for the use
of it's inhabitants. Therefore partial
starvation at least, it is feared, faces
the middle and poorer classes Of the
Peruvian population.

non Mormon citizenship of Utah and
Idaho think they are entitled to the

erywhere in their efforts to maintain

and if they cannot receive that they

which is available for the American
people. Because OF this he pointed
out the futility of passing national
law prohibiting the practice.
Politically, he SAID, the Mormon
church holds absolute sway in Titan
and is extending its control into wy
oming, Idaho and Oregon. When
Brigham H. Roberts was expelled
from congress because he was a self
confessed polygamist, Mr.. Dubois
said he was at once elevated TO a
high position in the church. AS to
Senator Smoot he said it made no
difference whether he was or was
not a polygamist. The senator was
pillar in the church and in control
of its temporal, spiritual and politl-
cal policies and was selected for
the senate because OF his position in
the church.
"Smoot," he said, represents the
church and not the state, and would
do the bidding of the church before
he would serve the real interests OF
the state or the nation. By being an
apostle of the church, Smoot is one
of the chief conspirators and by his
acquiescence supports the plans and
aims of the conspiracy"
The breaking down of the influ-
ence of the church In politics, Mr.
Dubois asserted. would do more than
anything else to put stop TO poly
gamy.
