NAN MAY TELL
Lord Chancellor Upholds the Conten-
tcntion Made by Former Home Sec
retary That a Certain Paragraph in
the American Government's Com
plaint is Improper.
LONDON, Dec. 17.—The privy coun
cil, which yesterday began hearing the
appeal of the United States against
the decision of the justice of the crown
at Quebec In the case of Green and
Gayner, adjourned at the conclusion
of the arguments today. Judgment
will be rendered December 19.
Donald MacMaster, K. C., of Mon
treal, concluded his argument In be
half of the United States tdday and
was followed by Herbert H. Asquith,
former homo secretary, representing
the two respondents. Mr. Asquith con
tended there was no ground for the
Intervention of the privy council. The
most their lordships could -do was to
express an abstract opinion on the
merits of the case. Mr. Asquith com
plained of the form in which the
American government had presented
the case. It seemed to him highly lm
proper. He read a paragraph in the
American printed case commencing
“Whether the Judge In the discharge
of his duty" and ending "nor Indeed
do they think Jt necessary to do
Mr. Asquith said he considered "It
was a serious matter that suggestions
of this kind should be made in
printed document in a legal inquiry
of this description."
The lord chancellor, Lord Salsbury,
concurred, saying:
Deprecated by Salsbury.
"The suggestion contained in that
extract is absolutely irrelevant
the question of legality. I must de
precate the introduction of such mat
ters Into the appellant's case. They
cannot affect our judgment on
merit*."
The paragraph In question is as fol
lows
"Whether a Judge in the discharge
' of his duty who certainly has done
nothing to merit such treatment may
be' threatened with discipline ‘Judi
ciary or administrative,’ by a law part
ner of the minister of Justice and at
torney-general of Canada; whether
one judge of the superior court can
cause his writ of habeas corpus
issue before another Judge of the same
court has disposed of a prior writ
issued in regard to the same matter;
whether it is seemly that the petition
of the latter writ should he applied
for in the name of a law firm In which
the minister of jusjlce aipd attorney
general of Canada Is a partner and of
which the premier of Quebec Is also a
partner, and that nearly a month
should elapse and several proceedings
intervene before It wns discovered that
the whole name of the firm should not
have been used but only hree-flfths
thereof; whether equally It Is seemly
that the partner of the attorney-gen
eral of the province of Quebec (the lat
ter being a member of the provincial
cnblnet and a colleague of the premier
of the province), ahould he counael
for the fugitives; whether It la^proper
that the crown should he
sented throughout the j
ceedlngs Involving not only serious
charges but International treaty obll
gatlona—are matters upon which the
appellants do not at this time desire
to make further comment, nor Indeed
do they think it necessary to do so."
MacMaster Confident
Mr. MacMaster said to the Asso
ciated Press that he was confident the
decision of the privy council would be
• in his favor, but he declined to say
what would be the next step of the
United States' attorneys. Mr. Mac-
Master did not expect Greene and Gay
ner to surrender for extradition.
As to Mr. Asquith’s complaint, Mr.
MacMaster said" It would have
effect on the case. Mr. MacMaster
agreed that the paragraph referred to
by Mr. Apqulth was Irrelevant, but he
added dthat by taking exception to It
the respondents emphasized the point
made by the American government.
Mr. MacMaster has left tor Queens
town to overtake the steamer Cam pa
nla, which sailed from Liverpool today
tor New York.
Famous Defendant Will Probably Go

NEW YORK, Dec. 17.—Nan Pat

nearly all the recent prominent n

Asked if he had ever concerned

Smith replied that, he felt that every
man was amenable to the laws; that
the courts have juridictlon and that he

answer did not appear candid. Mr.

WASHINGTON, Dec. 17.—More Im
portant testimony was brought out to
day in the Investigation of protests
against Senator Reed Smoot than at
any time In the present session of
congress. The witnesses were Charles
H.. Jackson, chairman of the Demo
cratic state committee In Idaho; John
Nicholson, chief recorder In the Mor
mon Temple at Salt Lake City; Chas.
W. Penrose, editor of the Deseret
News and an apostle of the Mormon
church; William Budge, president of
the Bear Lake Stake In Idaho, and
Apostle John Henry Smith of Salt
Lake.
Mr. Penrose was elected an apostle
last July, and the attorneys for Sena
tor Reed Smoot admitted that the sen
ator was present And participated In
the election of Penrose. Mr. Penrose
testified that he is a polygamist and
was known to have been such at the
time he was made an apostlo.
Church in Politic*.
As an Illustration of the local church
issue in the last election. Mr. Jackson
said the vote for Gooding, Republican
candidate tor governor, ran behind the
vote of Roosevelt in Gentile counties,
and ahead of Roosevelt In the Ivlormon
counties; while the vote tor Heltfeld.
Democratic candidate for Governor,
ran ahead of Parker in the Gentile
counties and behind Parker in the
Mormon counties.
On cross-examination Mr. Jackson
said that Apostles Matthias Cowley
and John Henry Smith were among
those who went Into Idnho nnd told
the people that there hnd been a rev
elation that they should vote the Re
publican leket. Questioned by Attor
ney Vancott, representing Senator
Smoot, the witness said ho never had
heard the apostles declare that there
had been kuch revelations.
Mr. Vancott brought out the fact
that there were about 20.000 Mormon
votes out of a total of 60,000 votes In
the state. He asked the witness If It
were true that although the Gentllea
were in a large majority, nnd that the
Democrats put an nntl-Mormon plank
In their platform nnd the Republicans
refused to put in such' a plank, the
Republicans carried the stato by a
very largo majority.
A Bald Fact.
"That Is a bald fact," responded the
witness, but he added that the Infer
ence drawn by the nttomey from the
question was not justified.
Mr. Jackson contended that there
were "Jack-Mormons, or gentllea who
are Mormon In political affairs, who
lire able to control elections."
Much time was spent trying to get
from Recorder Nicholson Information
ns to the whereabouts of the temple
marriage records; particularly the
book where sealings were recorded.
Wltneta would not admit he knew
where to find the latter.
He said he would not give up the
book even If he were arrested and put
In Jail.
Mr. Penrose said he was a polyga
mist with two plural wives living. He
hud children by his first plural wife,
but none born since the manifesto.
"Did you receive special amnesty at
the hands of President Cleveland, In
which one of the conditions was that
you ahould thereafter obey the laws
relating to living in polygamy?" ask
ed Mr. Taylor.
"Yes, sir.”
"And you have lived tip to that am
nesty?”
' "No, sir.”
Smoot Present.
Chairman Burrows said he wanted
to have it made clear whether Apos
tle Smoot was present at the confer
ence which elected Mr. Penrose an
apostle. Not receiving a direct an
swer Mr. Worthington, counsel for
Henator Smoot, said they would admit
that Mr. Smoot had been present.
"Was it known that you were a po
lygamist" aaked Mr. Burrows.
"I did nothing to conceal the fact,
but I had never flaunted it," the wit
ness replied.
Wm. Budge testified that he has
three wives, and that he has had three
children born since the manifesto of
1890. All of his Wives live In Paris
and he testified that he does not live
with one to the exclusion of the others.
Meet' of the children ore grown and
live In Idaho. Of these children, he
testified that one son Is a Judge of
the district court, one son prosecuting
attorney in Bear Lake county; one
son-in-law, H. Smith Wooley. is chief
asaayer of the mint at Boise City; and
daughter la postmaster at Paris
himself he admitted that he Is the
most prominent Mormon In Idaho,
having served In the state senate and
otherwise taken a leading part it
church affairs. ,
John Henry Smith became an apoa
tie of the church In 18*8 and Is the
second In^rank. He has two wlver. and
fifteen living children, four having
died. He could not say how many of
the seven living children of His plural
wife were born since the manifesto
but thought four. He testified that hs
was one of the signers of the appll
ration for amnesty. Asked concerning
his failure to practice the ugreement
thus made he said:
Will Stand by Family.
"Nobody can take from me

Settlement of the Great Labor Dispute
at Fall River, Involving 26,000 Mill
Hands, Appears to be as Distant as
Ever—Arbitration May Yet Prevail.
FALL RIVER. Maas., Dec. 17.—A
conference lasting for over four hours
was held In this city today between
representatives of the cotton manufac
turers and their striking operatives,
but no agreement was reached and a
settlement of the great strike, Involv
ing 26,000 mill hands, appears us dist
ant as ever. The conference was
brought about as the result of a trip
made by the leaders of the strike this
week to New York, where they dis
cussed the situation with President
Gompers of the American Federation
of Labor and other members of the
executive committee of the Civic Fed
eration. •
No proposition looking toward a set
tlement was submitted by the manu
facturers. Tho strike leaders suggested
an arrangement whereby.the operatives
should go back to Work at a reduction
of $% per cent, or one half the reduc
tion voted last July by the manufac
turers. And that the mill hands should
work at this reduction for at least three
months. It was also suggested that at
the end of that time another confer
ence be held, with a view to restoring
the old rate of wages. This proposi
tion was quickly rejected by the manu
facturers. The textile representatives
then expressed their willingness In case
sll other plans were rejected, to recom
mend to the other unions that the mat
ter be submitted to arbitration by a
committee of the executive board of
the Natlonat Civic Federation, this de-
clsion to be final.
The Idea waa discussed at some
length, tut no srtlen was taken on it.
A special meeting of the textile coun
cil will be held tomorrow when the
matter of submitting a dispute to ar
bitration will be dis< ur . ,j. • if the
general sentiment aw * to be de
cidedly in favor of the plan. It will b"
submitted to the m.ir.ufactorera hi
writing.
CLEVELAND. Ohio. Dec. 17.—Mra.
Chadwick was arraigned before Judge
Wing of the United States district
court today, pleaded not guilty to every
charge brought against her, declined
to give ball, nnd was remanded to jail
to await trial. President Beckwith and
Cashier Spear of the Citizen’s National
Bank of Oberlin were arraigned at the
same time and were allowed to depart
nfter furnishing bonds, each to the
amount of $25.000—an Increase
$15,000 over the value of the bond they
had previously given.
The arraignment of the three wns
very quietly arranged between District
Attorney Sullivan, United States Mar
shal Chandler and the attorneys for
the three Indicted people. It was
deemed best to have them called on
Saturday at ft time when few people
would be expecting to see them In
court, Instead of a regular session of
court, when a multitude of curious
people would attempt to Invade the
court ( room. Not over thirty people
were present when Judge Wing took
his seat to preside for the arraignment
only. Court was adjourned as soon as
It was over, the entire session not
lasting for over fifteen minutes. '
Mr. Beckwith wns the first of the
three to enter the court room. He
was ocrompanled by his wife os usual,
and took n seat by himself at the west
side of the court room.
Mr. Hpear came In a few minutes
Inter and sat besides Mr. Beckwith.
Examined Mrs. Chadwick.
When Marshal Chandler nnd Depu
ty Hampsoll arrived »t the Jail, Dr,
Wall, the physician of the government,
wua called to examine Mrs. Chadwick
nnd derided If she wna In condition to
stand the trip to the court room, a f#w
blocks away. Dr. Wall said that while
the woman wns In an extremely ner
vous slate bordering on complete ex
haustion there wns no danger In al
lowing her to be brought before lee
Judge. A carriage was then called
and Mrs. Chadwick wns told by the
mnrnluil to prepare to leave the Jail.
She dressed, assisted by the matron,
nnd then went down the three flights
of stairs. She wns so weak that rfho
had to lean on the arms of both of
ficials and was obliged to rest tdr sev
eral minutes at each landing. Dr.
Wall remained by her side in case hla
services were needed nnd ulso uccom
panted her to court.
Accompanied by Marshal Chandler
and Deputy Hnmpsoll, she entered the
court room so heavily veiled that It
wns Impossible to aee her face. Hhe
walked very feebly and was support
d at every step. As she approached
the bar she sank Into a chair betide
her attorney. J. P. Dawley, nnd plac
ing an elbow on a tiihlir beside her,
supported her hand and regained mo
tionless until the court p • d adjourned.
Attorney Sullivan then stated to the
court the nature of the case against
the three defendants and turning to
Mr. Dawley aald:
presume Mra. Chadwick will
waive the reading of the Indictments
and that Mr. Beckwith and Mr. Hpear
will do likewise?"
Mr. Dawley und the two bank offi
cials bowed In alienee and the former
rising said:
Plead Not Guilty.
’Your honor, we plead not guilty to
all of the charges.”
There was a pause and nobody spoke
cither for Beckwith or Bpesr.
"I understand that Mra. Chadwick
pleads not guilty.” said Judge Wing,
"but Is that the plea of the other de
fendants?’’
Beckwith and Spear hastily ex
claimed:
"We plead not guilty.”
"I would like to have your honor
flx the amount of fail! to be given by
the defendants” said District Attor
ney Sullivan.
"Your honor,” said Mr. Dawley, "In
entering a plea of not guilty, I ahould
like the privilege of withdrawing It, If
we should, at a later time, deem Jt ad
vlaable to do so. I have had no oppor
tunlty as yet to examine this ratty and
really know very little about It. I ulso
would ask that the court does not flx
the bonds until later. We are making
no application for ball.”
"You appear tor Mra. Chadwick
alone?" asked the Judge.
"Yes, air."
"She la now in custody. Is she not?”
"Yes, sir."
"In case where a prisoner Is In cus
tody and hall Is to be given," said the
court, "the initial move must come
from the person so held. If that per
son does not ask tor liberty and pie
fern to remain In custody there Is no
ijeed of fixing any amount of ball,
understand that Mrs. Chadwick does
not wish to give ball and she can re
main In custody.”
“That is perfectly satisfactory to
the government,” said District Afldr
ney Sullivan, and the rase ns far as
Mrs. Chadwick was concerned, was
ended.
The Prisoner Puzzled.
The nature of the proceedings V
h puzzle to Mrs. ffhadwlrk. The aflblr
had. been so hastily arranged that sh
hsd no previous knowledge of It. and
h«d no Ides what It meant.
