ADMITS IDENTITY OF MRS. KEI.-
LER But DENIES BIGAMY
CHARGE-TEII.S OF MINING
INTERESTS IN PLEASANT VAL.

Sheriff Butler returned last even
ing from Pleasant Valley with M. A.
Morris, whom ne went to arrest on
a charge of bigamy preferred by Mrs,
Keller, who claims to be his lawful
wife.
On his arrival here Morris imrhedi-
ately gave bonds to the amount of
$500 for his release. with Senator
elect House and M. F.. Rickard as
bondsmen.
Norris does not deny that he is the
husband of Mrs. Keller, but states
that he is not married to the woman
mentioned in the bigamy complaint
and never has been. He says that she
was only housekeeper for him and
that at the present time she is in
Europe.
When a News representative asked
Mr.. Morris last evening If he cared
to make a statement in reference to
the charges made against him, he
said that at the present time he had
nothing to say further than that the
whole thing was Matchmaking prop
osition. At the proper time, he said,
he would make statement which
would unquestionably place him in
right light with his friends.
When asked as to mining prop

Charges Both Roosevelt
and Taft With Irreeu-

partment Funds.
SPEECH ON BROWNSVILLE Az
FAIR IS HEATED-DETECT
GAVE FALSE EyIDENCE-SEN-
ATE CROWDED TO LISTEN.

WASHINGTON, Jan. 12.-Illegal
diversion of public funds by Presi-
dent Roosevelt and VIM. H. Taft,
while the latter was secretary of
war, to pay for investigation by the
presidents detectives of the Browns
Vile affair, was charged today by Sen
ator Foraker in a speech in the SEN
ate.
The government use of detectives
was characterized by Foraker as
'atrocious, shocking and revolving =
The charge of Illegally diverting
$4,000 from the war fund of three
million was made by Foraker in con-
clusion of his remarks on certain le-
gal phases of the Brownsville affair.
He produced a number of affida-
Wits from soldiers whose testimony
and confessions Detective Herbert j.
Browne alleged he had secured to
unravel the mystery of the identity
of the men who did the shooting.
These af1idavits, held by Mr.. Foraker,
denied with great particularly every
statement made by the detectives.
Speaking of the three million dollar
war fund, Foraker said:
ut probably will be surprising in
formation that the appropriation
made years ago at the close of the
American-Spanish war to enable the
president to meet emergency army
contingencies, such as were then aris-
ing, should have been construed to
be a permanent appropriation.
He declared that the statutes di-
rected the head of each department
to make annual report to congress
giving detailed statement of the
manner in which the contingent fund
of his department had been expend
ed. This report should have been
made by the secretary of war, but,
so far as Foraker had ascertained. no
report had ever been made. He
claimed that the payment under con-
sideration was clearly illegal and in
direct violation of the law.
Speaking of the reply of the presi-
dent and the secretary of war to
the senate resolutions calling for in
formation on the atrocious investiga
tions, Senator Foraker said, This
message of the president. with it's
exhibit, and this report of the secre-
tary of war. present a new and most
serious feature of this unhappy bust
ness.
''They not only disclose a deter
mined effort on the part of the pres
ident to bolster up the case against
the soldiers, but also show that he
resorted to methods which cannot be
fittingly characterized without us
ing language which might appear dis
respectful. 1t does not lessen his
offense, but he was thoroughly OBJ
livious to all restraint of law and de-
cency in his mad pursuit of those
hapless victims of his ill considered
action. No precedent for anything
so shocking can be found in the his
tory of American Jurisprudence
In conclusion Foraker asserted that
all the evidence obtained by the de-
tectives was obtained through de-
ceit, liquor and misrepresentation
and was utterly worthless. Fora
ker's speech called out a large gath
ering and received the closest at

SUCCUMBS To
MINE GAS
DAVID SIMMONS DEAD AS RE-
SUIT OF BEING OVERCOME ON
LOWER LEVEL OF BOSTON ELY
-BROTHER EXPECTED.

David Simmons. an employe of the
Boston Ely Mining Co., was asphyx-
lated by gas in the mine while work
ing on the lower level of the prop
erty yesterday morning. When those
with whom he was working saw that
the unfortunate man had been over
come by the deadly gas, they imme-
diately had him taken to the sur
face, but his constitution was not
strong enough to overcome the eff
fects of the poison and he died sew
eral hours later.
Mr.. Simmons was a young man in
the early thirties and had host of
friends in the district. He had been
expecting brother from Butte, Mon
tana, and it is possible that he may
be on his way here at the present
time. The undertaking firm of New
in, Brown e. Graham has telegraphed
to this brother, but up to late hour
last night no word had been received
from him. Mr.. Simmons recently be-
came member of the knights of
Pythias and it is understood that he
will be buried under the auspices of
that lodge, should the interment take
place here.
1t is said that the coroner at Riepe-
town was not notified of Mr.. Sim
mons death and that no official in
vestigation was made concerning the
causes leading up to it. In conse-
quence it is probable that an inquest
will be held today.

DETROIT, Mich. Jan. 12.-The
sheriff of Port Huron has given to
the press the remarkable story con
tanned in the letter left by Rev. John
Carmichael. the suicide minister and
confessed murderer The letter,
which amounts to a death bed con-
fession, in view of the fact that when
the man wrote the missive he had
made up his mind to do, goes into
the details of the terrible tragedy in
Columbus church and then tells of
the manner of the escape of the min

HOnored Sir:-I write this letter
to explain some things in connection
with the Columbus church tragedy.

influence over me that | felt that
something must be done felt
greatly ashamed that ii man said TO
be short minded should he able to
compel me to yield to his will but
| said nothing about it, At first ne
said: It's all right, Elder, don't be
afraid Then he began to talk about
how we two could get rich. Three
times he came to rear of my barn
and talked to me through the man
ure hole; twice he was at the river
when | went to water my stock and
each time felt that he was doing
something that he was proud of.
Once when | was going out to Colum-
bus, he was on the pike near the
Ping school house. When | overlook

could not refuse. He asked me If
ever | had driven up the pike to Port
Huron. to which answered no.
Then he said Come. let's drive up,'
to which | dissented, but he kept on
until he persuaded me to go. He got
out and stood at the corner while I
went to the barn with the rig. Then
after we had been at the restaurant
for food for which he paid and also
for the horse, he gave me half dol

tell him to go and do his own buy

thing like the look of snakes eyes.
Then | felt his influence tightening
its gria. on my pind, so | went, in
tending to go INFO the store and out

rush off for home. When l turned
to close the door he stood looking
upon HE through the window and l
just bought the hatchet and came out
again, but by that time he had dis
appeared, so | went n the barn, got
my rig and started for homa. When.
as l made the turn onto Military
street. he was at the corner to get
in. He rode as far as to Soush
Park, where he got out to take the
car. He took the hatchet with him
and said nothing, nor did l think any
thing at the time about the change.
Once at the depot at Adair. he came.
out of the house in his shirt sleeves
and exercised me by compelling me
to walk the rails. All the time /

Great Improvement In Schools.

Prospects are differing for Garrard
county To have three more graded
schools. A petition will be filed In
the Garrard County Court In a few
days from Bryantsville asking for a
graded school in that place and IL L.
almost certain that within twelve
months the people Of the Bryantsville
section will be receiving the benefits
of first class graded school. The
people OF Buckeye, we think will sooD
have one established.
At Manse school house on last Sat-
urday about one hundred and fifty
people assembled To talk over the ad-
visibility Of graded school IN the
neighborhood OF Paint Lick. County
Attorney, J. +, Robinson gave an in
teresting address upon the School
Laws OF the state. Much interest
was manifested at the meeting In the
proposed graded school.
AS result Of the meeting a petition
was filed on Monday in the County
Court asking that the boundary be
liked and vote be taken on the ques-
ton. The petition calls for the school
building near Old Paint Lick church
on the f. q. Whorter lot. No
doubt but there will soon be graded
school in that part OF the county. Let
the good work continue. Garrard
comfy should have the best possible
schools and we think these moves will
bring them into exlstance.
