WHITMAN FEELS AGGR|EvED
Octoroon Who Figured in Recent Di-
vorce Controversy Makes
q Statement.

c. w. Whitman. whose wife was award
ed a decree of divorce Monday, feels that
he has been placed in a false position as
a result of the suit.
Originally Mrs Whitman made some
ugly charges against her husband. and he
came back with an answer in which II
was stated that Mrs. Whitman had negro
blood in her veins. Later Mrs. Whitman
withdrew the serious charges against her
husband and the decree was awarded on
the ground OF desertion.
MIR. Whitman said last night that he
came west with his wife from Toledo and
left her in this city when he went to
Phoebe to look up business location. He
asserts that upon his return he found her
masquerading as a Spanish woman, under
had formed new acquaintance during his
absence and showed a determination to
sever all relations with him.
Mr.. Whitman is very frank in admit
ting his own lineage; In fact, seems rather
proud OF IL. He has credentials showing
that his father a. A. Whitman, who died
seven years ago, was known as the poet
laureate of the colored race and was a
man of good standing in his home city.
Atlanta, Ga. The elder Whitman was
born in slavery. the son of a Spaniard and
a mulatto woman Mrs. Whitman. the
mother OF c. w. Whitman. is the daughter
okee Indian c. w. Whitman is thus an
octoroon and frankly casts his lot with
the colored race. He has excellent rec
concentrations from people Of standing
in the south. His sisters are now ap-
pearing in vaudeville as the Whitman sis
ters, and they. too. make no attempt to
disguise their colored blood. Mr.. Whit
man has certified copy of his marriage
license. issued at Birmingham, Ala, in
1903, which stipulates that both parties
are colored. He feels aggrieved that in
Salt Lake Mrs Whitman should assume
the position of white woman.

POLICE COURT -GLIMPSES

ards live in the same neighborhood with
the Kooymans. whose fame has already
spread all over Salt Lake.
The case of Orbin Allen, who was ar
rested by Detective Harris Monday night
on a charge of gambling did not come
before the court yesterday. but was post
poned until today for the purpose of Civ
ing City Attorney Rogers time to con-
slider whether or not an offense had been
committed.
Allen at the time of his arrest carried
six pocket roulette wheels. which he said
he was demonstrating for the New York
Novelty company, through its agent, the
Salt Lake Hardware company. The de-
vice consists of ball and wheel in mimi
AZURE of a regular roulette outfit. Ii is
called the parlor Monte Carlo and is about
the size of a watch.
Allen asserts that II. Z. Houstn, the
man who had him arrested was under
the influence of liquor at the time he
was demonstrating. The only regrettable
circumstance connected with the whole
affair was that Mr.. Houstin had a loose
s. gold piece which he played on a num-
Der just for fun. AS luck would have
it, the ball stopped at the number on
which Houstin had his money. He de-
manded that he be paid, and Allen re-
fused on the ground that he was paying
no bets, but just demonstrating the ma
chine. Then Houstin got sore and had
him arrested for gambling. The case will
come up before Judge Diehl today.

person of Taylor Lyman, 14-year-old boy.
His sentence has been suspended until

Old son. who came crying to his papa
and complained of the way that bad

ing to Mr.. Shepards son. the Lyman boy
had held him on the ground while all
the little and big boys of the neighbor-
hood had tried new clog steps on his
face. This happened three times in one
week, and Mr.. Shepard thought it should
be stopped, so he went forth in quest OF
the Lyman Terror" and found him on
the street innocently riding his wagon
around the block in front of his home at
1l59 East Second South. He handled lit
tile Taylor rather roughly and thought he
had taught him lesson. until Taylor

Shepard. Mr.. Shepard found out from
Judge Diehl yesterday that he had done
wrong in punching small Taylor Lyman
in the face and kicking him and on the
second day of October he will find out
just how much wrong he did.
Mr.. Shepard accused the Lyman boy OF
teaching his son TO use profanity and
smoke cigarettes. but the Lyman boy
said he had nothing to do with it. II

BRINES SONG RECITAL

1t was a splendid program, pro-
gram of wonderful possibilities. all of
which were realized, that NJ ]. Brines
presented to his audience at the First
Congregational church last night
Every number, from the opening to the
closing one, possessed artistic merit.
Beginning with the glorious recitative
Comfort Ye.' from Handers Mes
siah, the rich tones of the singers
voice ranged through all the fullness
of the song, closing with the sacred
air Every Valley" This was fol-
lowed by Verdi's Celeste Aida"
which was probably the most ambi-
tious, if not the most difficult, of the
numbers. A group of German songs,
two of them by Eugene Halle, followed,
the group closing with two favorite Sc
lections, ''Du Bist Die Ruh," by Schu-
bert, and .Lockruf." by Ruckauf.
A group of French songs, opening
with the ''L'heure Exquise," followed
this group containing Victor Hugo's
beautiful poem "Oh, While l Sleep"
which was certainly one of the gems
of the evenings entertainment. Three
gypsy songs by Dvorak gave opportu-
nifty for the weird tones for which
that composer is known.
The closing numbers were English.
Scotch and Irish ballads, for which Mr..
Brines possesses ability rare in even
the best singers. Two songs of this
group were sung by Herbert Wither-
spoon, the great tenor. who was heard
here last year. and certainly Mr..
Brines' singing suffered nothing by
comparison. They were Forever and
Day" and Mother o. Mine
The applause was hearty and genuine
all through the program. and at the
end, when the singer had finished 'The
Dear Little Girl" the audience still de-
manded more, and he returned and
sang You'd Better Ask Me-
Mr. Brines was perfectly accompa-
MED by Mrs. Judith Evans Brines. In
addition, Mrs. Brines played two beau
tiful selections, "Grillen," by Schu-
mann, and composition by Reinhold
A number of the short ballads were

The Lion Tells Why He Didn't Eat
Him Alive.
(St. Louis Post-Dispatch)


Continuing their retreat beyond the
Ruwenzori mountains, the animals
were overtaken by a badly mutilated
lion. He Iimped. one of his ears was
shredded. and his neck and shoulders
were terribly gashed.
They all laughed as he came up.
Thought you were going to stay and
have it out with him. they said.
He only moaned with pain, and trot-
ted along with the rest.
How did it happen?" they asked.
He trotted out ahead, but they moved
up with MIN, amused and curious.
Did you have it out with him?
There was a great laughter at this,

Maybe he killed him. one Of them
ventured.
He shuddered. and pushed on toward
the interior.
.'Of course" said one of the hippos.
He leaped upon him from tree and
ate him alive, just as he said he
would"
They all screamed at this, and big
rhino said:
1t is all plain enough. Our brother
here engaged him in mortal combat.

was in the tree as he came along. Be
tween them was a big thorn bush. Our
brother leaped through this thorn bush
to get at him, which accounts for his
shredded ear and the slashes on his
head and shoulders"
The mountains resounded with fresh
peals of laughter, and one of the ele-
plants said:

TRUST COMPANY
SECTION MEETS
More Discussion of Guaranty
of Deposits by the Associa-
ton of Bankers.
VOTE WAS NOT UNANIMOUS
GENERAL CONVENTION TO DEAL
WITH POSTAL SAVINGS BANKS.

Denver, Colo, Sept. 29-The trust COM
pany section of the American Bankers
association went on record this afternoon
In opposition to the bank deposit guaran-
tee proposition, making the third subsi-
diary association OF the American Bank
ers to declare itself on this subject. A
motion to vote on the proposition for pos
tai savings banks was defeated. All the
speeches made were against postal saw
ings banks plan, but ii was the sense
of the meeting that as the savings bank
section had already voted against It, and
as II was scheduled to come up before
the general convention. there was no need
of the trust section voting on the subject.
The resolution against the guarantee of
bank deposits was offered by F. II. Fries
of Winston-Salem, n. G, who acted for
the legislative committee. The introduce
tIon OF the resolution precipitated a de
Nbate. led by Breckenridge Jones of st.
Louis in the negative, as to whether the
section had a constitutional right to con-
slider any proposition not of exclusive In
terest TO the trust companies. After a

every political faith to unite with us in
the election of William J. Bryan. the
greatest living advocate of popular rights.
whose ideal of democratic government is
that the people rule.
We pledge the candidates nominated by
this convention TO favor and support:
Liberal approximations for the public
roads and. highways of the county and
state.
The enactment by the state legislature
of law providing for a railroad commits
sion.
The enactment of laws rendering effec-
tive the constitutional amendment adopt
ed by the vote of the people of this state
at the election in 1900. providing for direct
legislation. sr-.fra
We believe that in country where the
people rule they should have the right to
pass judgment by their vote upon the
questions vitality affecting their interests.
no matter whether that question Is the
voting of bonds by public municipality.
whether the sale of intoxicating liquors
shall be allowed or prohibited in the COM
munity.
Local Option Pledge.
We believe in local option and pledge
the candidates of this convention for the
state Legislature to so vote.
We call attention to the packed con-
vention and fraudulent primaries held by
the Republican party in this county, no
longer ago than last week. and demand
in the man, of political decency and mo-
rality the enactment of a primary law
which will permit a fair expression of
opinion and fair choice of candidates by
the people even in the Republican party.
We particularly commend the provision
of our national platform providing for the
guaranteeing of the funds of depositors
In banks. and direct the attention of the
people % the Inconvenience occasioned
them during the Republican panic of 1907,
and 1t is self-evident that at that time
had funds of depositors been guaranteed,
there would have been no occasion for the
fear of loss by those who had deposits in
our banks, nor the loss through the fail
ure of banks. which fell upon the people
of many communities throughout our
country
And we also commend that provision of
our national platform favoring the cleo
ton of United States senators by direct
vote of the people. and we are convinced
that such measure would shortly relieve
the people of the state of Utah of much
of their present troubles. 1t Is a fact that
ever since Apostle Reed Smoot entered
into an active participation in partisan
politics and was elected United States
senator. the highest office in the gift of
the people of state. he has been the
source and cause of strife and bitterness
among our own people. and has brought
upon us the suspicion of the people of the
entire United States. We believe that the
peace of our people, their mutual good
will and happiness is of more concern
than the ambition of any man. and we
pledge the candidates of this convention
to do all in their power to secure the cleo
ton of a successor to the Hon. Reed
Smoot upon his merits as a Democrat and
his allegiance to the principles of De-
mOcracy.
