MURPHY TOLD

OFFICERS WORKING ON
CLEWS THAT ARE EXPECTED

ROBBER GANG.

Deputies of the sheriff's office are
hard at work on a clew which
promises to lead to the capture OF
the pals of Dan Murphy, who was
recently convicted of an attempt to
hold up a Northern Pacific passen-
ger train near Trent, Wash, and
last week was taken to the peni-
Tertiary to begin sentence of
from one to 10 years.
Although Murphy was convicted
purely on circumstantial evidence,
the state made out a strong case.
Before leaving to begin serving
time, he expressed himself dis
pleased at the treatment his pals
accorded him in making no effort
in his behalf.
Just what he told the officers Is
kept secret, but 1t is said that he
made a clean breast of everything
and put information into their pos
session which may result in the
whole gang being captured.

UNCLE SAM DLSCLPLLNZNG
THE HA WALLAN MORINONS

HONOLULU, April 6.-The Nor
mon church in the Hawaiian islands
is in trouble. The federal authori-
ties have stretched out the arm of
the law against it, and its head.
Melvin NJ Harmon. has been ar
rested on a charge of subornation
of perjury.
The church is under the control
of white elders, who have been
sent out by the Salt Lake church,
and of these Harmon is the head.
The church has a widespread or
ganization in the islands and owns
a large tract of land at Laie.
The trouble began some months
ago when the u. S. district attor-
ney began an investigation of af'
fairs at Laie under the provisions
of the Edmunds act. The Mormons
contested strenuously that this act
had been directed by congress
against Utah alone, but U. S. Dis
trict Judge Dole, formerly the pres
ident Of the Republic of Hawaii, de-

cided that it applied In Hawaii.
One prominent Hawaiian Mormon
couple was sent to jail for violating
the provisions of the act. During
this trial 1t was brought out that
the Mormon church was cognizant
of the relations existing between
the couple. and the defense was
made that church secrets were
privileged communications, and
that therefore the elders could not
be forced to testify. 1t was this
that led to Harmon's trouble.
Poi Kekauoha, one of the men
of the church who knew the secret
of the couple. had testified before
the grand jury that he knew moth
ing about the case. Ii developed
that he had perjured himself When
he was pressed by the authorities
he admitted it, but stated that Har-
mon had told him to deny all
knowledge of the case.
Harmon was arrested and the
Mormons are now engaged in a de-
termined fight for their leader.

PASO ROBLES, Cal, April g.
Californians are determined that
Rear Admiral Evans shall enter the
Golden Gate with vice admiral's
flag at the masthead. Notice of
this fact will be sent to congress
in the shape of a bundle of petit
tions and resolutions from hun
dreds of organizations in the state.
The California delegation has
been wired to take up the matter
with Roosevelt.
People of the West evidently ap-
preciate Evans more than eastern
ers do. They believe the failure to
elevate him due to the intrigue
of cheap politicians.
Evans did not sleep well last
night, but felt better today. There
is a conflict between the admiral
and his doctors over the admiral's
plan to be with the feet when the
vessels leave Santa Barbara. The
doctors say he cannot do this, but
Evans says he will and that he will
be at San Diego If he can sit up.

STENOCRAPHERS on
TRAIL OF FULTON

PORTLAND, April 6.-Who the
employers of two mysterious ste
nographers are who have shadow
ell Fulton throughout his entire
speaking campaign and taken notes
of every speech, would be welcome
information at the Fulton head
quarters. The stenographers were
not discovered until Saturday night
at Salem, when a Fulton man, who
has accompanied him throughout
the trip, located them in the back
of the hall.
The theory Is advanced that they
may be employed by J. S. Smith
ex-senator who is suing Fulton for
SANDER, or by Gov. Chamberlain
who wanted to get complete copy
of Fulton's speeches for campaign
purposes.
