WEBER STAKE CONFERENCE
Statement Made by Apostle Francis
N. Lyman That Division
Would Soon Be Made.

From the remarks of Apostle Francis
M. Lyman at the regular quarterly con-
ference of the Weber stake yesterday it
IS taken that within a short time the We
Der stake. which is the largest in the
church, will be divided in order that the
iabors connected with handling the same
may be distributed among a greater
number of officials.
Apostle Lyman addressed the confer
ence and after cOmplimenting the people
on the work accomplished in this stake
he said the results obtained were all the
more remarkable when the fact that it
was the largest stake in the church was
considered He then assured his hear
ers that the stake would be divided
which would mean a decrease in the work
put upon them now. For long time
the question of dividing the stake has
been under contemplation. The fact that
this was being considered is said to have
delayed action on the building of a new
tabernacle in this city. Should a division
be made II would be unnecessary to build
new tabernacle here for some time to
come.
In addition to other important matters
the conference by unanimous vote sus-
tained the general and local authorities.
President l. W. Shurtliff reported that
Joseph Sanford. Joseph Parry, Ephraim
TillotsOn and James Burch had been hon-
orably released from the high council on
account of advanced age and i'll health.
As special feature to the musical pro-
gram a portion of the oratorio Elijah"
was sung by Miss Maud Belnap, Miss
Sarah Pingree and Caleb Marriott. Pro-
fessor ]. Z. Ballantyne explained the Sc
lection.
There were two sessions of yesterdays
conference. one in the morning and the
other in the afternoon. The inadequacy
of the tabernacle was again demOnStrat-
ed when It became necessary to hold an
overflow meeting in the lecture hall of
the Weber stake academy. The general
topic used by all of the speakers was the
recent action of the priesthood in deciding
TO hold weekly meetings in all of the
wards with definite outline of study.
This movement as planned is considered
a great undertaking and its success is
said to be already assured. The intention
is - adopt it in all stakes of the church.

BREWER BESET
BY CANDIDATES
Large Proportion of Able Bod
led Citizens of Ogden Look
ing for an Office.

At tonight's session of the city council
II is expected that Mayor Brewer Will
submit a list of his appointments for the
various offices. 1t may be. however. that
the list will be held over until later ses-
zion The matter will probably be de-
cided at a caucus to be held prior to the
regular council session. 1t is extremely
doubtful If the mayor Will submit any
names unless he is sure they will be con-
firmed.
Botn Republicans and Democrats are
asking for about everything in sight IN
the way of appointiVe offices. The Demo
Gratis maintain that they are entitled to
the large share of the patronage on &C
count of having five councilmen and the
mayor On the other hand, the Repub-
licans claim that they are entitled TO con-
siderable on account of their having an
equal number of cOuncilmen and having
elected the city ticket outside of the
mayor. The probabilities of a fight, the
same as there was during the Browning
administration, are SLIM II is thought
that an understanding will be reached
that will be satisfactory to all.
There is keen rivalry for appointments
and the applicants have been many.
Mayor Brewer was especially free TO Sc
lect his men on account of there being no
prediction promises on his part. That
the people of Ogden are DESTROYS of a
change is evidenced by their electing a
Democrat to the head of the administra-
tion.
1t is intimated that upon the mayors
stand with regard to the appointments
rests the question as to whether Ogden is
TO have third party in the political field
in the near future. Those who are anx-
fouS to see a straight Democratic admin
istration insist that unless the present
regime proves to be such. another party
VIII be the result. Further in support
of this argument il is held that there will
be little use OF having both Democratic
and Republican ticket in the field in the
future If both are TO maintain the same
people in office, which virtually means
that the same policy will be in effect
Mayor Brewer is especially reticent
about his selections for office. He saws
he Is anxious to get the best men avail
able for the places. as this is the only
way his administration can be a success.
The mayor has been very busy ever since
ne went into office. Two hours at least
he spends in his office at the city hall.
Usually during that time there is a
steady flow of callers. The executive
hears the statement of each with patience
and always invites his callers to come
again: He is hard worker and is not
man that mtnces words. If attention TO
duty means anything. Mayor Brewer
should have successful term of office

SECRET SECURE
IN LONDON BANK
Case of Lemoine, the "Dia-
mOnd Maker" ExCiteS
Attention in Europe.

Paris, AIN. 19.-The qualifications of
the case of Lemoine, the diamond
maker" whom Sir Julius Wernher Of
the De Beers Mining company is prose-
cutting for swindling him out of $780,
600, is attracting much attention, not
only in France, but in England and
throughout Europe generally. The case
in one particular bears a, resemblance
TO all the recent great sWindles, such
as the Humber safe mystery in France,
the Chadwick affair in America, and
the bruce case in England, namely, its
solution depends upon a secret beyond
the reach of investigators.
LemOine's formula for the manufac-
ture of diamonds is securely locked up
in a bank in London. the officials of
which, upon Lemoine'S demand, refuse
to deliver it to the French court, which
desires to make a trial OF its efficacy
in the presence of experts who are now
examining specimens of diamonds Lee
moline claims to have manufactured.
Meanwhile, LemOine, who a few years
ago was a canvasser for an advertising
firm, but who since he began his pres
ent operations has lived luXuriOuSly in
a magnificent house in the Rue Pigalle,
languishes in Jail, offering If released
to repeat his experiments and prove the
legitimacy of his invention. While
Wernher is convinced that he was
duped by clever Iegerdemain and the
public is amused at the many curious
incidents of the case, there is enough
division of opinion in the scientific
camp to keep up a lively interest in
the affairs. Scientists point out that
the substitution of a genuine diamond
in AN electric furnace would be i'm
possible, as the temperature of the cleo
trio arc would transform the diamond
into graphite.

When young Mrs. Th1w has conciud-
ed her testimony and has been put
through the fire of cross examination
the elder Mrs. Thaw will probably con-
clude her evidence. This will leave but
three or four regular witnesses to be
heard before the six insanity experts
retained by the defense are put upon
the stand to answer the hypothetical
question covering all of the testimony.
Two of these physicians, Drs. Evans

Attitude Due to Thaw.

The non-concurrence of the defense in
the plan for a closed hearing is said to
be due to the attitude of Thaw him.
self, who believes that he sees in Dis
trict Attorney Jerome's move motive
other than the public morals on which
he based it in his address to Justice
Bowling.
Thaw believes that behind closed
doors the prosecutor would go even fur
Their in his discrimination of his
wife than he did at the first trial, when
with pitiless persistence he drew from
her many of the details of the story
which were omitted in the direct evil
dence-details which did not reach the
public through any newspaper. Mr..
Jerome based his cross-examination last
year ON the ground of testing the cred
Utility of the witness, and under the
rulings of Justice Fitzgerald this threw
the doors wide open. Justice Bowling
is inclined, however, to cut down. both
direct and cross-examinations to the
material facts, and 1t is generally be-
lieved that neither Mr.. LittletOn nor
Mr.. Jerome will put the defendants
wife through the same severe ordeal as
last year.

NOT LIKELY To
EXCLUDE PRESS
Justice Downing to Determine
Whether Evelyn ThaW's Tes-
timony Shall Be Private.
SUGGESTION OF JEROME
DECIDEDLY AGAINST
THE PLAN.

New York, Jan. 19.-When the Thaw
trial is resumed tomorrow morning
Justice Bowling will be called upon TO
determine whether the testimony OF
Evelyn Nesbit Thaw shall be taken be-
hind closed doors. 1t is freely predicted
that he will refuse to exclude both pup
lie and newspaper representatives, Out
that a compromise may be reached by
the exclusion of those who come only
from idle or mOrbit curiosity. By leaV-
ing the newspaper men in the court
room, the constitutional provision as
to a public trial would be met, ana the
young woman on the stand would have
to face only a handful of people as

thronged the court last Friday after

prising suggestion, that if any newspa-
per cared to repeat the details OF the
recital it could do so simply by refer
ence to its files of a year ago.

Thaw's chief counsel, who partly con-

withdraw that concurrence and leave
the matter entirely in the discretion of
the court Under these circumstances,
it is declared, Justice Bowling will not
attempt to keep the proceedings secret.

neys in an endeavor to keep the general

Feat Not Impossible.

Henry Moissan, winner of the Nobel
prize, who died recently, produced mi
croScOpic diamonds from iron and car
bon in an electric furnace at a tempera-
ture of 1000 degrees, but they were of
insignificant commercial value, and the
majority of scientists say it is ridicu-
lOus to suppose that Lemoine succeed
ed where Moissan failed.
Nevertheless, others like Wertz, the
eminent chemist, are of the opinion that
it is not impossible to produce chemical
diamonds # the opsTgtiicl is performed
under sufficient pressure to the proper
solvent of carbon. Lemoine, it is known,
unlike Moissan, uses chemicals and moi
metals. They doubt, however, the dis
covery of a solvent for carbon They
think Lemoine's. crystals are silicate of
carbon.
Lord Armstrong, who witnessed the
experiments, publicly avows his abso-
lutte faith in Lemoine's method Dia-
mond merchants, although skepticaI,
are greatly interested in the outcome of
the case.
An American Victim.
Since Lemoine was arrested it has
developed that he has not confined his
operations 10 NJ. Wernher. He sold a
Hall Interest III Ills secret 10 EQSdf Co.
hen in 1901 and through an associate Sc
cured $1,000 from an American named

Neuilly, has complained to the police
that mysterious attempts have been
made against himself and his. wife since
his connection with the affair was re-
vealed.
A strange feature of the case is that

he was duped, offered Lemoine $780,

published, the principal ingredients of

The latest development is the testi-

and sell De Beers short, when he
should publish Wernher's contract and
