Arrested on Charge Based on Birth
of Forty-third Child.

SALT LAKE CITY, Utah, Nov. "a
A charge under which the Mormon
Prophet Joseph Smith was arrested
and fined here was based on the recent
birth to President Smiths fifth wife of

ident Smicn went before Judge Richie,
offered his plea and was fined $500.
President Smith addressed the court,
saying that his latest marriage occur
red in 1884. All his marriages. he said,
were entered into with the sanction of
his church and. as they believed, with
the approval of the Lord. According
TO his faith and the law of the church,
| the unions were eternal. He continued:
''Since roe year 1890 Il large rercent-
age of the polygamous families have
ceased to exist until now the number
within the jurisdiction of this court is
small, and marriages in violation of
the law have been and now are pro-
hibited.
when l accepted the manifesto is
sued by President MILFORD Woodruff |
did not understand that | would be ex-
pected to abandon and discard my
wives"
Judge Richie imposed the maximum
fine, but omitted the Jail sentence OF
from II day to six months Which ne
might have imposed under the Utah
statute.

MURDER TRIAL
State Attorney COnfrOnts Gillette
With Silent Witness -WOman'S
Hair Found on CleatS.

HERKINIER. n. Y, Nov. 24-The
twelve foot cedar rowboat, sharp at
both ends. n typical pleasure craft of
the better class, in which Chester Gil
lette and Grace Bro wn veptured forth
| upon the waters OF Big Moose lake
last July, the girl never to return alive,
was the most Important and interest
ing witness produced against Gillette
ut his trial here on the charge of muir
der.
Clinging to the clients in the bottom
of the boat at the stern and twining
about the braces which hold the rear
seat in place were Q score of strands
of long dark hair. The man who found
the boat floating bottom side up on
enough hair from the cleats and
braces to make a lot'k the size of u
lead pencil. This hais was also intro
duced in evidence.
Then Immediately followed a dramat-
ic sequel. The prosecutor called to the
stand young Frances Brown. a sister
of the dead girl. She hail brought with
her a lock of hair cut ron the dead
girls head after her body was brought
home. 1t was identified, rIsiced in evil
dence as an official exhibit and attach
ed to a piece of paper sb1e by side
with the hair taken from the bottom
of the boat. Then the paper was pass
ed to the jurymen to make their own
comparisons.
The defense fought the Introduction
of the samples of hair through all the
legal open to them. They
protested with especial vis,or against
the jurors comparing the two locks side
by side and denounced what was term
ed the improper procedure of the pros
ecuting officer.
Judge Devendorf overruied all Of the
objections of the defense. but granted
the demands that exceptions be noted
upon the record.
District Attorney Ward was graft
fed az his success in getting the exhib-
it's of hair before the jury. vt is his
contention that the girl was struck
down in the boat and that her hair be-
came entangled in the cle3 is and
braces when she fell. Then, as Mr..
Ward stated in his opening address,
the hair was pulled out when tiie body
was picked up and thrown overheard.

was found guilty Of having pinched
and annoyed women and girls in the
monkey house in the Central park ZOO.
He was fined $40 by Magistrate Baker.

would appeal from the decision to the
court of general sessions.
The magistrate handed down his de-
cision after carefully weighing the
evidence several hours after the crowd
had left the Yorkyille police court.
He then ordered that Frederick w.
Sperling of the counsel for Caruso
and the son-in-law Of Heinrich Con-
ried be Informed of the decision so
that he might so to the court and pay
the fine.
The fine Of so must be paid whether
an appeal is taken or not.
Director Conried declared that the
conviction would not interfere with
Caruso's appearance with the opera
company in LA 9oheme" on Wednes-
day night next.
Stung TO the quick. his feelings out
ragged by the scathing accusations
made by Deputy Police Commissioner
Mathot in his closing address, Signor
Caruso went to his Hotel Savoy apart
ments to await the decision.

ness:

called, though your companion refused
to make a complaint:n
Caruso was shaking his head, but
before he could answer Mr.. Dittenhoe-
Ter objected on the ground that the
question was irrelevant TO the case on
trial. He accused Mr.. Mnthot OF know
Ing that the question would not be al
lowed and of having brought up the
matter simply 10 get into the newspa-
pers.
Magistrate Baker sustained the o.
lection.
Mr.. Mathot announced that he had
every reason to believe that Mrs. Gra-
ham would be in court. but he had
learned that she had left the iurisdic-
ton of the court on account of the no
toriety and tlTlt she could not be
reached. "Do You want to know
why Mrs. Graham was unwilling tc
come here and tell what She kncw?'
he asked. Then lie turned and waved
MS hand toward Che elgerly listening

There's the reason.' he cried, ant

porting His Recent Action.

JERSEY CITY, Nov. 24;-Accom-
panied by a Japanese who had been
n~aturalized in Rhode Island ten
years ago, another Japanese last
week applied for citizenship papers
at the office of County Clerk John
Rotterdam, in Jersey City. Deputy

The federal laws provide that only
free whites and Africans or their
descendants can be ~naturalized. Yes

ceived the following letter from
Washington: p
ut is noted that you have declined
to accept a declaration of intention
from a Japanese, in which action you
are upheld by the bureau. The law

other than free white persons and
aliens Of African nativity and per-
sons of African descent. as bearing
upon the subject, Sec in re Saito,

F. r., 274.
"While the list of titles furnished
by the bureau includes tho Iikado
of Japan, that fact should not b.
construed to indicate that the sub
jects of that country can become
American citizens.
ut is possible, however, that free
white persons and persons of African
descent or African nativity may be
subjects of that sovereign and desire
to become naturalized citizens of this
country, in which event it would be
necessary for them to renounce their
former allegiance.

RATS GET DRUNK
ATTACK WOMAN
Housewife Troubled by a
Swarm Of Rodents CarOus-
ing on Wine in Cellar.

PATTEN. Ne. Aug. 6.-Rats which
got drunk on elderberry VINE attacked
Airs. jeremiah Sibley TWO weeks ago
and so badly lacerated her tnat for sever
al days her life was despair OF. Blood
poison was feared. but as prompt meas
ures were taken it is believed that all
danger o. this dread disease Is now
passed and that the woman will eventu-
ally regain her fun health.
The wine was I'm a vat IN the Sibley
cellar and one day when the housewife
went 10 draw bottle for a sick friend
she saw half dozen rats scurrying
away. Closer inspection showed that
they had gnawed through the cover and
helped themselves. Setting the light on
a barrel. she retired for a broom. When
she returned she says that one rat was
holding another by the tan head down
IN the vat and he was sucking himself
full
This so angered Mrs. Sibley that she
started in with the broom and whacked
AT every rat she saw One began 10
squeal and instantly the ceiiar seemed
fun or drunken rodents. They ran for
the woman, fastened their teeth IN her
legs, tore her dress TO shreds and rip
ped her shoes from her feet. When at
tackled she started 10 run. but fell over
shovel and a score OF the animals bit
her in the neck and shoulders before
She could make her way up the stairs
10 the kitchen. There she tainted and
was later found by the husband OF the
sick neighbor when he came for the eld-
erberry wine.
Investigation showed thar the rats
had got into the vat only the night be-
fore and that the whole colony was
drunk when Mrs. Slbley went into the
cellar.
