NEW APOSTLE CHOSEN
FOR MORMON CHURCH
VOTER WHO PROTESTS AGAINST
PRESIDENT SMITHS CONFIRM
ALTON Is ELECTED.
Especial to The News }

SALT LAKE CITY. Oct. 7.--At the
closing session of the seventy-eighth
semi-annual conference of the Church
of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints,
Anthony Woodward lvins, president
of the Juarez stage in Mexico, was
selected as a member of the quorum
lof the Twelve Apostles to succeed
Apostle George Teasdale, deceased.
The newly chosen apostle is ma
tive of New Jersey, is 55 years of age,
and lives with his family in Colonia
Juarez, Chihuahua, Mexico. The
election was unanimous.
President Joseph f. Smith and the
present authorities of the church
were sustained. During the reading
by President Smith of his own name
for endorsement some one in the CEN
trail part of the great tabernacle in
terrupted, but his words could not
be understood distinctly. Their drift
was in protest to the sustaining of
President smith, however.
At first President Smith paid no
attention to the Interruption, but
when the man persisted he said:
Here, you sit down, there" Still
persisting, the president directed that
some one attend to him." He was
attended to by being summarily eject
ed from the hall.

MAY Be RELIEVED
OF HIS COMMAND
''FIGHTING BOB" EVANS DISRE.
CARDS ORDERS OF GENE
RAJ NAVAL BOARD.

NEW YORK. Oct. 7.-"Fighting
Bob" Evans is decidedly on the outs
with the general naval board at
Washington. Serious friction exists
| between the admiral and the bur/-u
officers who rank him. He has dis
regarded their orders and run things
lis own way, they complain.
The trouble, coming as it does on
the eve of the cruise of Rear Admiral
Evans fleet around the Horn, has
caused a sensation among naval men
and government officials. Naval cir
cles in this city fairly buzzed with
gossip about it today.
Only the peculiar position of
l'righting Bob," it is said, saves him
from official reprimand or perhaps
court martial. Another officer who
treated the board orders as Evans
did undoubtedly would have been
called to the front for explanation.
But nothing has been done in his
case because of his unquestioned abil-
ity and the public's deep affection for
him.
The so-called defiance of orders
happened during the summer when
the North Atlantic ueet was practic-
ing battle tactics. For at least six
months previous to that time, the
general naval board had worked ar
duously preparing plans for the prac-
tice. When completed, they were for
warded to the secretary of the navy,
who then sent them to Fighting
Bob"
When Admiral Evans read the
plans over, he is said to have thrown
up his hands and, navy men declared
today, he gave vent in his usual
frank and hearty sea-dog style to GER
tain sentiments concerning the un-
wisdom of "old fossils" in Washing
ton being allowed to give instructions
how to fight battles to man who
was fright on the spot" with the
feet and who incidentally had taken
something of a part in naval melees
himself.
Certainly, officers say, he did not
follow instructions. He ran the bat
tie tactics according to the battle
ideas of Robley d. Evans, and not of
the general naval board. And in
vigorous letters he protested against
the boards orders. His protests
were of no avail. He was told to fol-
low the orders sent to him by the
secretary. Even then, it is said, the
pugnacious admiral had his own way
and continued disregarding Washing
ton entirely.
1t was privately admitted in Wash
ington today that Evans was re
calcitrant" But no one at the navy
department would say that Eight
ing Bob" was to be in any way dis
ciplined of that any conduct of his
had come under official notice.
Admiral Dewey is chairman of the
general naval board. He declined to
discuss the affair. So, too, did Rear
Admiral Goodrich, commandant of
the Brooklyn navy yard, who was
chiefly responsible for the technique
of the order which Evans did not fol-
low. Secretary of the Navy Metcalf
said he had heard nothing of a diff
ference between the admiral and the
board.
Lesser officers, conversant with the
situation, fear that Fighting Bob
may, by reason of the affair, be re-
lieved of his command IL the big fleet
in it's great cruise to the Pacific. This
is not regarded as very likely though.

VISITING CAL|FORNIAN'S
IMPRESSION OF NEVADA

J. A. Walker, father of c. A. and
Bert Walker, came in Saturday from
Chico, Cal, on months visit to his
sons. This is Mr.. Walkers first visit
to Nevada and coming from Chico to
Nevada in the fall of the year this
state does not make as favorable an
impression on his mind as it would
have made had he entered the state
in the spring or early summer
months. He saw snow on the hills
and mistook it for alkali. Mr. Wal
ker said that Nevada might be a
great mining state but speaking of
it agriculturally he thought it was
sadly deficient. If on his trip from
Verdi to Cobre he had taken side
trips to the wonderfully productive
valleys of that section, he would have
been surprised. The Southern Pa
cific railroad runs through the most
uninviting section of the state and
the impression made on Mr.. Walker
is the same that Is made on all con-
tinental travellers.

RADICAL CHANGES IN
PLANS OF BATTLESH|PS
CAUSED BY RECENT TESTS OF
HIGH EXPLOSIVE ARMOR
PIERCING SHELLS.

WASHINGTON, Oct. After a
series of tests at Sandy Hook and
Indian Harbor, extending over a pc
riod of ten days, the feasibility of en-
ploying large charges of high ex-
plosives in armor piercing shells,
equipped with slow fuses, has been
demonstrated. The navy has adopt
ed a new brand of high explosive,
made under a secret formula which
is designed for use in exploding
shells behind the armor of the ships
of the enemy. The success of the
tests is regarded as a matter of the
highest military Importance.
The general adoption by the lead
ing navies of the world of this new
principle will result in compelling
radical changes in the construction of
warships. 1t is likely that as re-
suit of the discoveries made during
the past ten days at the government
proving grounds the plans for the
armament of the 10000 ton battle
ships recently contracted for will be
altered.
Congress voted large amount of
money for a trial of the Gatham gun
for hurting guncotton, but the trials
were not impressive. William Ish-
man haunted the par department for
years in order to get trial of his
shell for carrying high explosives. He
got the cold shoulder at every turn.
1t was only in the last few months
that the military authorities woke up
to the fact that they were way behind
the times in this important branch of
warfare and that Japan as well as
other nations had solved the prob
lem of exploding big charges of high
explosives inside the armor of an
enemys ship.
1--WE saw enough at Indian Har-
bor," said a naval officer today, ''to
convince us that this new feature of
modern warfare will compel radical
changes in the plans of battleships. "

SW|TCHMAN INJURED
ON COPPER FLAT ROAD

Paul B. Place, employed as a
switchman on the Copper Flat con-
struction train, which is engaged in
the work of removing the debris from
the ore strippings at the Nevada Con-
solidated, was injured at an early
hour Monday morning by being
thrown from the train on which he
was working.
The young man fell upon his back
between the cars, and with rare pres
ence of mind, rolled from the track
barely in time to avoid the wheels of
the moving train. 1t was reported
that he was seriously if not danger
ously injured, but he fortunately es-
capped with a severe bruising and
shaking up.

DISTRICT ATTORNEY
NOT DISCHARGED
PUBLISHED STATEMENT THAT
OFFICIAL WAS DISMISSED Is
REFUTED BY BOARD.

At the meeting of the board of
county commissioners which was held
yesterday morning at the court house,
the matter of the recent misstate-
ments in local publication, in which
it was incorrectly stated that the
board had discharged District Attor-
ney Clarence A. Eddy, was brought
to the attention of the board by At
torney G. A. Walker, one of the as
sociate counsel employed to assist
Mr.. Eddy in the matter of the COM
piling of the assessment rolls.
Attorney Walker said that he had
been asked many times by taxpayers
what the action of the commissioners
had meant, and in explanation said
that at the time the meetings are
held, scratch minutes are made of
the proceedings. The scratch min
utes, he said, are merely for the
guidance of the clerk of the board
in preparing the actual minutes of
the session.
1t was intimated that the careless
Interpretation of these scratch min
utes had been the basis for the pub
lished statement that District Attor-
ney Eddy had been fired"
An order was made that hereafter
the scratch minutes would not be ex-
hibited. and that the only minutes of
proceedings which would be opened
for inspection, would be the regular
minutes after they had been tran
scribed and approved.

the board of school trustees, appeared
before the board in the matter of the

TOO MUCH PROSPERITY
FATAL FOR GAY GLENN

CRIPPLE CREEK, Oct. Cay
Glenn, a well known miner, who in
1899 cleared more than 100000
from his lease on the Pinacle mine,
was placed in the insane ward at the
county jail last night. Making a big
fortune suddenly proved bad thing
for Glenn, for he began drinking and
it is due to overindulgence, it is
claimed, that has brought him to his
present condition. He believes his
left foot is immersed in bucket of
warm human blood, and he contin-
ually harps on the deportation of
miners during the big strike four
years ago.

INCONS|OERATE WOMAN
SPO|LS FUNERAL PLANS

WHEELING, w. Va, Oct. REL
atives were weeping today beside the
coffin of Mrs. Fred Hantsell, the wife
of a young farmer living near Hunt
ington, when she suddenly sat up,
and with a dazed look, climbed out.
The mourners, terror stricken, fled.
The minister swooned when pale
faced woman, over whose pody he
had been caned to conduct services,
met him at the door.
The family was too poor to have a
physician, and the woman fell into a
swoon, in which state she remained
for three or four days. Her husband
believed her to be dead and sent for
the undertaken. He prepared the
supposed corpse for interment with
out discovering that life fingered in
the body. In another half hour she
would have been nailed in the coffin
and lowered into the grave.

reported in good condition but be-
teams have great difficulty in getting
through. At Phoebe there is much
activity and it is reported that one
mine has uncovered a so foot vein
of ore.

camp and as soon as he makes ar
rangements to have his affairs here
taken care of he will return to Utah
and conduct work on his oil pros

George, Utah, and while there was
presented with bunch of grapes
that took the first prize at an agri-
cultural fair in California short
time ago.
The farm of bishop Judd is about
$50 miles from here and is renowned
for the fine quality of fruit which il
produces. Mr.. bennett has a quanti-
ty of grapes grown on this ranch
with him and they have been much
admired where shown.

BAD NIGGAH
CONVICTED

Officer Stubbs and Mr.. Beardon of
the Rock Island detective force return
ed this morning from Fort Worth
where they went to get Murray Mol
and, the negro who was implicated in
the shooting Of O. o. Staten, fireman
in the Rock Island yards here in the
early part of December.
All trace Of Mr.. Slaten's assailant
was lost at the time but some time ago
holland was arrested at Fort Worth
for slugging and robbing a man there
and an accomplice who turned states
evidence confessed that holland was
the party who shot Staten here
The Chickasha officers found that
holland had been convicted last Satur-
day and sentenced to three years in
the penitentiary. The Texas officers,
however, expressed a willingness to
have the man brought back here for
trial for the crime, and a bench war
rant will be sought for that purpose
It is likely that when holland goes tC
prison several years will have been ad.
ed to the sentence imposed by the Tex
as court.

JUST FOR AMATEURS
VIII Devote Friday Nights to Aspirants
for HistriOuic Honors.

The new Radieum vaudeville theatre
is going to set aside Friday nights Of
each week as amateur night. The ex-
perience Of other places where this has

idea that they have any histrionic tai.
ent will have a chance to show what
they are able to do. Amateur nights
have produced some of the best vaude-
vile talent in the country, which i
it had not been for the opportunit!
offered would still be unknown. Many
Of the attempts proves failures, how
ever, but still all Of them are grea
entertainments for an audience.
