MORGAN MAY
COMEJO UTAH
Millionaire After Bank
in Utah.
Representative Now in Den
ver on His Way to
Salt Lake.
ITow Yorker Will Probably Make a
Deal With Bank in Which
Church Is Interested.
Special to Tho Tribune'
DENVER, Oct. 17. J. Pierpont Mor
gan Intends to have a chain of banks
across the continent, according to state
ments made , today by a prominent
banker, who Is unwilling to have his
name used. The local banker said to
day: "Morgan is constructing a chain of
banking houses across the country. Re
cently he invaded the St. Louis terri
tory. He Is now perfecting plans to get
into Kansas City, and preliminary nego
tiations for a Denver institution have
already been started. When assured of
a location here he will go on to Salt
Lake City and then to San Francisco.
"Plans for the Denver bank are Im
mature ht present. Morgan Is In com
munication with one of Colorado's lead
ing bankers regarding a Denver loca
tion, and Kansas City capitalists expect
to be associated with the enterprise.
The rumor of a banking trust is
ridiculous. Such a tiling would be Im
possible, oven -with one bank ln each
of tho leading citlc-s of tho West."
When shown the above dispatch, last
evening several gentlemen largely In
terested ln financial Institutions stated
that it was extremely probable that this
would oventually mean another deal
with prominent leaders of the Mormon
church, whose aim does not end with
ecclesiastical success, but combines tho
business and financial end to a marked
degree.
Several of the hierarchy are promi
nently Identified with large banking In
stitutions of this city, as well as others
In the State. The church, through Its
president. Is interested ln the sugar
trust. Joseph F. Smith sits with the
Standard Oil people and a great rail
road syndicate.
This Is the way the church mixes
business and religion, and. in the
opinion of tho men talked with, It Is
ten to one that If Morgan gets Into
Utah it will be through one of the Mor
mon banks.

Episcopal House of Bishops to Take
Up This Question at To
day's Mooting.
BOSTON. Oct. 17. Tho house of bishops,
ono of the legislative bodies of the Epis
copalian general convention, today adopt
ed an amendment to the canon on divorce
and marriage, forbidding tho remarriage
of any divorced persons. Tho amendment
was substantially the samo as that which
was rejected by tho house of deputies
on Friday last. The action of tho blshop3
was not unexpected, as tho sentiment of
that body was well known. In fact, a
similar amendment was passed at the San
Francisco convention three years ago, but
tailed, as did tho effort this car, to se
cure tho support of the other house, A
conference of committees representing tho
houso of bishops and deputies will be held
to consider tho disagreement, but lending
clergymen do not anticipate that the dep
uties will recede from their vote of last
wjjek. The amendment Is as follows:
"No minister shall solemnlzo a marrlago
between any two persons unless by In
quiry he shall have satisfied himself that
neither peruon has been or Is the hus
band or wlfo of any other person now
living, from whom hc or she has been
divorced for any cause arising after mar
riage. "
The bishops voted to nomlnato mission
ary bishops for Cuba, Hankow, China, and
Salt Lake tomorrow.
Tho house of deputies devoted the en
tire afternoon session to tho further con
sideration of tho report of the special
committee on courts of review and adopt
ed a majority of the sections.
MONK SUFFERS AGONY.
Endures Abscess in Jaw Until Almost
Insane.
LOUISVILLE. Ky., Oct. 17. Father
Cyprian, for many years at the head of
the Gethsemane college and one of the
most widely known monks in America,
Is in St. Anthony's hospital suffering
from an abscess of the upper Jawbone,
which it is feared may cause hla death.
Three operations have been performed
by Dr. August Schachner and a large
gold plate has been placed in his cheek,
but the calm acceptance of the suffer
ing on the part of the patient makes It
almost' impossible for the physicians
really to know to what extent the ope
rations have aided him.
Father Cyprian Is 60 years of age. The
abscess is one of long standing, and the
physicians say that It would be impos
sible for them to estimate the great
amount of suffering that the patient has
gone through. The pain Increased con
tinually, and at last his Iron will was
forced to surrender. He went to Father
Obrccht, the abbot, and told him of the
pain which he was unable to stand long
er ln silence. Immediately the abbot
sent Father Cyprian to the hospital
here.

BROWN MEN
Sure to Enter Mukden,
Perhaps Harbin,
London Press So Views the
Final Result of Battle
Now Raging.
Great Admiration Expressed for
Kuropatkln, However, in Way
He Protects His Retreat.
LONDON. Oct. IS. The greatest admira
tion Is expressed by the London newspa
pers today for tho tenacity displayed by
Gen. Kuropatkln ln protecting his retreat,
but nowhere Is tho Idea entertained that
the Russians first success on the Sliakho
can change the broad character of their
defeat, or have any effect beyond slightly
retarding the Japaneso advance to Muk-
den and probably to Harbin, since tho
Japanese appear to bo fully prepared for
a winter campaign.
Question of Intervention.
The Question of Intervention Is hardly
discussed at nil, because It is believed
that the Russian 'Government Is ln no
mood to accept It.
The Standard's correspondent with Gen.
Kurokl, telegraphing under dato of Octo
ber 15, says. "Kuroki, as usual, has borne
tho brunt of tho struggle and sustained
a majority of the casualties. We are now
occupying tho lino of Shakhc, with out
posts near Mukden."
Hope for Kuropatkln.
Reports from Russian sources glvo a
more hopeful view of the situation of Gen.
Kuropatkln's army. That commander has
reocUDlcd and holds tho town of Shakhe,
tho possession of which for several duys
was llrst with one and then with another
of tho contendlns armies.
No Word From Loft Wing.
Reports from tho Russian left wing, tho
safety of which there had been much
anxiety nbout, ore no Inter than tho night
of October 13. They had been lighting for
two days for tho po..sesslon of Tumln
pass, an Important strategic point, but
up to the point of sending tho last dispatch
tho Japanese wero still ln possession of
the puss.
Must Hold Bridge.
In order that this column may be able
to rejoin tho main Russian army, It Is
necessary that Gen. Kuropatkln should
hold tho bridges over tho Hun river and
tho position ho now occupies on tho
Shakho river.
Battle Not Ended.
There Is no Indication that tho end of
the great battle Is at hand. Estimates of
tho losses show a wldo divergence, but
are, as a rule, lower than those given in
Sunday's dispatches.
Russians Capture Guns.
A dispatch from Mukden timed at 1:S0
o'clock yesterday afternoon, said tho Rus
sian forces at 11 o'clock this afternoon
penetrated tho Japanese center and. it is
reported, captured eleven or twelvo guns
and 150 prlsonors east of tho railway. At
another point during tho day the Siberian
regiments took twenty-four guns. The
Russian operations today have been qulto
successful,
Japs Are Undaunted.
Tho Japaneso, after a torrlllelally stub
born resistance, wero compelled to retire
along their whole line, lllled with the Jap
ansao dead In one notoworthy large
trench there were counted COO corpses of
tho Japanese. In spite of their losses the
Japaneso were undaunted. They nave
brought up slego guns and havo left no
stone unturned to maintain the mastery
of the situation.
Cost Russians Dear.
Every step the Russians have pushed
forward today has been ln tho face of a
roslstanco that has cost th Russians
dear. The Japanese seem to be willing to
light until they are annihilated. Tomor
row will bo the tenth day of tho battle.
JAP LOSSES ENORMOUS.
Trenches at Soukhotung Stormed, by
Russians.
MUKDEN. Oct. 17 Yesterday tho
Russians were not only success
ful on their right, but carried out
some brilliant movements on the left,
whore they assumed an energetic of
fensive against the Japanese position at
Soukhetung, southeast of Hun pass.
Soukhetung Is on the high road which
runs to Bentsluputze. Joining the Man
darin road where the Hun river inter
sects It. It Is a mile north of Hun pass,
which is four miles north of Shakhe.
The Pctrovskly, Neuchlot and "Wll
mlnstran regiments stormed the Japa
nese trenches at Soukhetung and car
ried them after desperate resistance,
capturing ten guns. The Japanese loss
es were enormous.
BROWN MEN ADVANCE.
Gen. Oku Has Attacked the Russian
Right.
TOKIO, Oct. 17. It is reported
from reliable private sources that the
Japanese are continuing their advance
and that they have occupied additional
positions south of the Shakhe river. The
left army occupied Wufuklatun at noon
yesterday, dislodging four or live bat
talions of Russian infantry and several
batteries of artillery and crushlngly re
pulsing a subsequent counter-attack.
Artillery from the center and infantry .
from the loft army are harassing the
Russian retreat. Gen. Oku has at
tacked the main strength of the Rus
sian right, bases ut Chlen pass . and
Chuangtzou, and is now operating to
block the Russian retreat along tho rail
road. Official confirmation of the-above
is not obtainable.

EXCORIATES BORAH.
Senator Heitfeld Throws Limelight
on Boise Man.
Special to Tho Tribune.
WEISER, Ida,. Oct. 17. Tho striking
and stinging element in Senator Helt
fcld's speech Saturday night here was his
attack on Borah.
"In his Coeur d'Alenc speech Mr. Borah
last Tuesday evening followed tho patent
plan adopted by Mr. Brady (chairman)
and so obediently followed by Gooding,
Heyhurn and French, of saying that tho
polygamy Issue was only a dream in tho
mind of Senator Dubois," said Senator
Heitfeld. Then the big candidate for
Governor asked the audience to view
Mr. Borah as a dclogate last Juno
to his national convention ln Chi
cago, urging beforo members of the
platform committee a plank In the na
tional Republican platform against po
lygamy, and view him now trying to
spurn and evade the great Issue. This
led tho Senator to the following very ad
roit arraignment of Mr. Borah, and hc
said:
"Whon God made Mr. Borah he endowed
him very handsomely with some talents
that nro of great pride and highly orna
mental; but In his entire composition ho
signally failed to sprlnklo ln tho least
degree any morul courage,"
Ho said further that Borah knew and
had so stated and would not now deny
that a delegation of three Mormons wait
ed on him beforo tho election of a Sen
ator two years ago this winter and asked
him to prejudge the Reed Smoot case In
tho United States Senate and pledge them
that were ho (Borah) elected to the Sen
ate ho would work for his (Smoot's) re
turn .as a Senator from Utah, and that,
upon his refusal so to prejudge the Reed
Smoot caso. Borah was defeated for
Senator and Hoyburn was elocted as a
Senator.
Ho wild further that Heyburn went
straight forth and began responding to
interviews from Seattle to Now York, In
sisting that thcro was absolutely no
"legal grounds" upon which Smoot could
bo unseated and that tho approaching In
vestigation would shrivel for want of llfo
and die down unobserved by the public
(generally.
Heitfeld made many votes for himself
and his ticket here Saturday night. His
speech tonded to prove, first, Borah's ab
solute belief in the existence of polygamy
in Idaho last Juno and tho necessity of
stringent laws to punish the perpetrators
of tho crime, and, second, the fact that
Senator Heyburn made a deal with tho
church for his election as a Senator, which
Borah refused to make, and that this deal
was essential to tho election of either
Borah or Heyburn, and that the former
lost and was now sorry ho did not mnko
