WOMEN BATTLE
FOR 01 ME
Ask Aid to Suppress
Polygamy.
Would Proteci the Country
Against Treasonable Prac
tices of State Church.
Stirring Circular Issued by the Na
tional Leagaie of Women's Organ
izations of Philadelphia.
Sn-i ial to The Tribune.
PHILADELPHIA, Jan 15 The Nation
al League of Women's Organisations, the
object of which Is "To protect the coun
try against the polygamous and treason
able practices of Mormontsm." has Issued
the following appeal to the women of
America:
The growth of the Mormon hierarchy In
power and Influence Is a grave menace
to the American home
The Mormon church as now constituted
Is a standing threat against the homo,
and a perpetual menace to free govern
ment. Polygamy Is now taught and practiced
In this country, and elsewhere, by the
Mormons.
Every tl'UO Mormon owes a higher alle
giance to the hierarchy than he owes to
the State, and the oaths of the endow
ment house ore treasonable to the Gov
ernment of the United Slaten.
The Mormon religion Is taught in more
than 3"0 of I 'tab's public schools by order
of the presidency.
Controls Fourteen Electoral Votes.
An apostle of a solf-confessod law
breaking organization la sent to the Sen
ate to legislate for the country, and Mor
mon Inlluence controls fourteen electoral
votes.
The power Of this un-American law
defying: institution mi)6t be met and over
come. It was the womanhood of the nation
that drove Mormon polygainist itoberts
from the House of Representatives.
It Is the womanhood of the nation that
now demands the expulsion of Mormon
Apostle Bmoot from the Senate of the
L'nlted States.
One man stood for the harem against
the home.
The other stood for church against the
State.
Both stand for Mdrmonlsm against
American lam.
Lot the twiec-n roused, womanhood of
the nation carry on the work, and to
the end that our daughters may nevi r
feel the touch of polygamy, and our sons
nwv hold unimpaired the sovuielgntv that
which of tight Is thelis.
Let us tear away the mask of religion
that Mormontsm wears, and show tint
behind It lurks an enemy to home and
country.
Dissemination of the Truth.
The dissemination of the truth In regard
to Mormontsm Is the strongest protection
against the Mormon mission. u y.
Therefore, the publication of "The Mor
mon Menace" now Is most timely. It has
neon arranged by Alfred Henry Lewis.
and his pn fare gives In strongest and

Senators Piod Worry I
in thejkioii Trial
Supreme Court Decision May Give the
Upper House as Disagreeable a
Task as Smoot Inquiry
WASHINGTON. Jan. 15.-Members of
the Senate are anxiously looking for the
Supreme court's decision In the case of
Senator Burton of Kansas, and with some
fear that the opinion of the court may
result in considerable embarrassment for
the uppe.- house
It appears that Mr. Burton's attorneys
arc making the defense on twM princi
ples: first, that the St. Louis court had
no Jurisdiction, second, that the evidence
presented was Insufficient to convict. It
Is explained that under the English com
mon law a crime begun In one shire and
cmpb-ted III another was wllle ml the ju
risdiction of any court To remedy this
defect the English Parliament passed a
law making It possible to prosecute In
either shire. Congress also passed a stat
ute making such a crime subject to trial
In cither county and subsequently
amended th statute by substituting tho
words "judicial district" for county.
The first contention of Si nator Hurton's
attorneys is tbat the crime of which ho
stands convicted was begun in the Dis
trict of Columbia and i . mi jh led in Un
judicial district of which St. Louis Is a
part: that the District of Columbia Is not
In any Judicial district, and that th i.
fore the St. Louis court lacked jurisdic
tion Should the Supreme court, as seems en
tirely possible, decide that the St. LOUlS
court lacked Jurisdiction, It would not. if
it follows Its usual custom, decide the
second contention, that the evidence was
Insufficient. Mr. Burton would go free on
i technicality and the Senate would then
io compelled to determine the propriety
of his retaining his seat In the Senate
or the necessity of expelling him from
that Cody. Of course, expulsion could
only follow a thorough Investigation of
all the faets by the Senate, a disagr. -able
undertaking, which Snators desire to
avoid, so that the hope of a majority of
the upper chamber Is that the Supreme
eourt will see tit to decide the question
whether or not the Idi ace presented
was sufficient to convict.

W ASHINGTON. D. C. Jan. 15. When
the Committee cn Privileges and Elections
adjourned last evening, seventeen of the
forty-four witnesses subpoenaed in be
half of Apostolic Senator Smoot had been
heard. Three of them, former Governor
Mi 'until II and Congressman French of
Idaho, and Jlyram K. Booth of Salt Iakc,
attempted stump-speeches, and all left

say the least, was not Ilrst-cluss.

polygamy, unlawful cohabitation, and a

he would do nothing to bring about en

legislation In order to put a political op

Dealt in Diamonds and
Other Stones.
More Than $250,000 Worth
of Jewelry Traced and
Located.
After Government Collects Unpaid
Duty. Gems Will Be Turned
Over to Receiver.
CLEVELAND, Jan. h'.. Investigation
Into the charge that Mrs. Casslo L. Chnd
wlck smuggled largo quantities of dia
monds, gems and other precious stones
into this country has developed that the
woman dealt In precious stones to a tab
uIoub extent. In order to make a caee on
the charge of smuggling It was found nec
essary for the Government to trace all
the deals for diamonds and Jewelry made.
by Mrs Chadwlck. both In this country
and Europe.
Collector of Customs Leach says that
more than $250,000 worth of Jewelry and
precious Stones handled by Mrs. Chadwlck
bus been traced and located. This great
amount of Jewelry has been uncovered
with the Investigation still Incomplete.
Tho Government Is Interested in about
one-third.
At Disposal of Receiver.
While the Government Is attempting to
collect only unpaid duties on diamonds
brought from Europe, all the evidence
secured will he placed at the disposal of
Receiver Nathan Iies.-er und he will be,
able to realize thousands of dollars for tho
creditors of tho woman.
The Investigation has led to the discov
ery that only a small portion of the Jew
elry was put up as collateral for loans
mad. by Mrs Chadwlck and that by fur
tho greater portion went as gifts to
friends.
The regular customs rato of duty on
diamonds and Jewelry brought to this
COuntrv Is 1" per cent of the value. Fig
uring on this basis the Government ex
pects to realize between $8000 and $10,OOX
Tho rest of the proceeds from the salo of
any Jewelry on which duty has not beim
paid will he turned over to Mr. Loesecr to
he distributed among tho Chadwlck credi
tors. Handled Jewels by Peck.
Mrs. Chadwlck handled pearls, rubles,
snpphlres. emeralds and garnets aim 0 I
b tin- peck. Th- testimony of experts
shows that i he woman did not handle
anything but the finest articles and there
l5 scarcely a penny's worth of cheap Jew
clry in the entire lot that has been traced.
By far the greater portion of the Jew
elry Is In tho hands of innocent persons.
The work Of Informing them that their
claim on the Jewelry Is to be protested Is
going on The anticipation Is that all of
those who have the Jewelry will agree to
i settlement without taking the matter
Into the courts. At the same timo the
Government authorities, as well ns Re
ceiver Loi ssrr. are taking steps to enfOD 8
their demands In the matter, if so com

Ges?ler Rossenu Not His Right iswH
Name, and He Refuses to Give
Reasons for His Crimes.
PHI LA DELPHI A. Jan. 15. "Gessler LL
RoSseau," who was arreBted here on
Thursday with nn unloaded Infernal ma
chine. In his possession, admitted to tho
police today that he Is the man who at
tempted to destroy the statue of Freder
Ick the Great In Washington last Tues
day. nnd also that It was he who sent the
trunk containing an Infernal machine to
tho British steamship Umbria In New
York in May, 1903. II
The- prisoner made thepe. statements In
the office of Captain Donnghy of the Phil-
Bdelphia detective bureau after he ha1 H
been Identified by persons brought hero
from New York and Washington. Ho
gives no reasons for the attempted out-
rages except that "there are too many J
foreign affairs In this country."
After having Rosseau under lire all aft- J
ernoon the police classed him as "an H
American patriotic fanatic." The prisoner
gave no Information voluntarily admitting
only those things which the police had 1
fastened on him. Both the Washington
and New York authorities want the man J
and It Is probable that he will bo turned
over to the police of tho latter city.
Attracted Rosseau.
The apprehension of Rnsscau was due to
the disappearance of Owen Kelly, a
wealthy Irish-American, who Is promlnont
In Irish-American societies tn this coun
try. Kelly disappeared on October and
from time to time the newspapers havo
published articles on tho mysterious dls
appearance. These the police believe at
traded Rosseau's attention.
On Thuredav Rosseau called on Patrick
Kelly and offered to take him to hi
brother In New York for $Go0. He said ho
and Owen Kelly belonged to secret so
clotles that were organized for the pur
pose of blowing up British shins in Amerl
can ports.
Patrick Kelly notified tho police . and
Rosseau was taken Into custody. The
valise ho carried contained an Infernal
machine of the clock arrangement vn
rloty, but no explosives. About tho ma
chliie was wrapped a Washington news
paper. This gave the clue that he might -know
something of the explosion at the
statue of Frederick the Croat, and his
picture was taken and sent to both the
Washington and New York authorities. M
In the meantime he was also suspected
of knowing something of the steamship
Umbria Incident.
Identified the Prisoner. LWi
Today Capt Robert Boardmnn of tho
Washington detective force and Alfred
Carter, a negro, and George H. Hazel, H
cabmen of Washington. vho .saw the
man who attempted to blow up the
statue, and Detective Sergeant Arthur IH
Carey of Now York and a Mrs. Curry,
Who Keeps a boarding-house In the latter
City, arrived here When Rosseau was
brought Into the office of Capt. Donaghy
Hazel said. "I guess you know me." to
whbh the prisoner replied, "How do you
mm
Rosseau bowed to Carter and then . H
greeted Mrs. Curry. Having satisfied
trg-mselvos beyond doubt that the identill
cation was complote, tho police set to
work to obtain a confession from the
prisoner.
He admitted the attempted outrage on mmm
the statue. He had manufactured the
Infernal machine himself, which consisted
of a candle, fuse and "dynamite engine
Where he made It he would not say. The
failure to destroy the statue must have
been due to the melting tallow spoiling
the fuse or interfering with the dyna-

Expected to Try Again. W
Rosseau then gave the police the Inter
estlng information that he had intended
making u second attempt to blow up th
statue, this time with a time-clock ma
chine. As It was difficult to get past the
sentries after nightfall he Intended going mm
to the urseiml at about dusk, arrange tho
Infernal machine so that it would explode
nt about midnight and then hang It on
the statue.
Regarding the sending of the Infernal
machine to the steamship Umbria, Ros
seau said that the police report of all his
movements after the I'mbrla Incident up
to tho time they lost track Of him was cor
ret t. Where he has been between May,
1808, and last week ho will not say, al

He said he made part of the I'mbrla 1
Infernal machine in Chicago and then took
It tn .New York In a trunk. In New York
he obtained a room nt Mrs. Curry's place
or.d there finished the work of making
the machine. He admitted writing the
pote to Police Commissioner Greeno which
"The ma da greets you and wishes you
well. The society has declared war
(i gainst England and has ordered the de
slruetlon of every ship flying the British

harbor of British ships, and it will sue- mm

It was this not- of warning that ld
to the finding of the trunk before It was
placed on the steamship.
An American Farmer.
The prisoner was closely questioned re
gardlng tho motive for blowing up the
I'mhrla. but was non-committal. He snld
thnt he was born In America and that
he was a farmer. H
He admitted his name was not "GeaS
lev Rosseau."' He said he had tend much
and that he wns a student of social ocon- J
omy. Ho took the name of "Gcssler Ros
scan'' because two of his Ideals had those 1
names. Albrecht Gesslor. the Swiss die
tator, who, tradition says, was killed by H
William Tell In 1307. and Jean Jacques H

writer, who died In 1778, B
