Camera Ffend Makes Pictures of Nor
mon Sanctuary Interior.

Salt Lake City, Sept. 16.-The first
presidency of the Mormon church has
exposed an alleged scheme to blackmail
the church authorities by the sale ana
exhibition of a series of photographs
of alleged interior scenes in the Nor
mon temple into which no one is al
lowed to enter unless he be a devout
member Of the church.
In a letter received from New York
from a former resident of this city are
contained seven photographs which the
writer offers to the first presidency for
$780, 600.
In reply, the first presidency wrote
that they did not desire to enter into
negotiations with thieves and black
mailers.
It is stated by the church authori-
ties that the photographs probably
we're secured a short time ago when
the temple was being given cleaning
Some of the pictures show that the
furniture was covered with canvas as
it was during that time.
Furthermore the church leaders say
that they do not care whether the pho
tographs are published, adding by way
of explanation that 500 gentiles We're
allowed to go through the temple just
before it's dedication.

CAUGHT HIM.
Alleged Canadian Abductor Is Cap
tured on American Side.

Hannah, N. D., Sept. 16.-Eluding the
vigilance of Canada's mounted police
and posses of over 200 southern Mani
toba citizens and escaping across the
international boundary to North Da-
kota only to be captured today by
party of six Hannah residents after
having been led into a trap by farmers
west of the city was the fate of Bill
Miner, alleged abductor of Eleanor
Price, the Snowflake school teacher.
Miner had laid aside his gun and
hidden in a haymow on the Tony john
son farm, near Hannah yesterday. This
morning he went to the Hallasy farm
three miles west of Hannah, where he
had breakfast. While Miner was at
breakfast a boy on the farm notified
the Hannah officials and a half hour
later, after Miner had gone back to his
hiding place an automobile carrying the
Hannah party arrived.
Surprised in the haymow, Miner sub
mitted tamely. He declared he want
ed to be taken to Hannah instead
of Snowflake, evidently fearing violence
should he be taken to the latter city.

Both Parties Are Claiming Victory in
Canadian Election.

Ottawa, Ont, Sept. 16.-Sir Wilfrid
Laurier Will close his speaking tour
here Monday and Richard L. Borden,
leader of the conservatives, will have
his final word in Nova Scotia. The
political contest is losing none OF its
bitterness in the closing days. The
conservatives through their press and
orators, through campaign literature
and flaming posters, continue to assail
the government for entering into the
trade on the ground that it is only the
first step in a deeply laid plot by Presi-
dent Taft to detach Canada from
Great Britain and to absorb the coun-
try into the American republic.
The liberals, who have been fighting
the disIoyalty cry predicting an in
creased majority of that party in the
twelfth parliament, continue to point
out the economic benefits to be de-
rived, particularly by the farmers,
from the enactment of the reciprocity
agreement. The conservatives claim
they will gain in both Ontario and
Quebec which will give them the bal
ance Of power The liberals estimate
their majority in the twelfth parlia--
1nent at between 40 and 55, compared
with a majority of AZ in the parlia-
ment Just dissolved.
