SLOANE TRIAL
IN NOVEMBER
Young Slayer of Father to Answer
For Crime
Spokane, Wash., Oct. 12.—The
trial of Sidney Sloane for the murder
of his father was set yesterday, in
Jude Huneke's department of the
distriot court, for November 12.
Sloane was seen in the county jail
immediatly after the setting . of the
case and informed of the fact. He
occpuies a double oell on the sec
ond floor, and has as cellmates Reed
and Hete, who are awaiting sentence
for robbery. He was reclining on a
folded blanket and, with a paok of
well worn cards, was playing "sola
tire.'' He jumped to his feet when
accosted, and, with a smile, admitted
the game was a monotonous thing.
His six feet three inches of stature
completely filled the door, and indi
cated, as he afterward admitted, tha t
he fared well for food. Pale from
idlenness and the close atmosphere
of the place, he yet wore a self satis
fied look.
"I find the time hangs heavily on
my nerves, and I shall be glad of a
change," he said. "Iam a great
reader and just now I am deeply in
terested in Kipling's works and think
him a great descriptive writer.
There's no library in the prison, but
my mother, and friends keep me well
supplied.
"In my school days, and until at
ter I left the high school, I was very
fond of athletics, with a special lik
ing for running. I weighed 178^
pounds when I came here, and guess
1 weigh about 170 pounds now.
"When I left the high sohool 1
meant to matriculate at Berkeley,
Cal., and but for this affair .should
be there now. In order to be able to
enter Berkeley I went to a private
school for ooaohing in the several
studies required at that university

"We can be clean," pointing to a
bathtub, "and that is a great privi

SENATOR DUBOIS
ON M0RM0NISM
Delivers Telling Blows Against
Polygamistsl
Senator Fred T. Dubois addressed a
good audience at tbe Auditorium last
evening. The platform was occupied
by several promiuent democrats of
this and Shoshone counties. Tbe
speaker was introduced by J. L. Mo
Clear, candidate for state senator.
The speech was almost wholly
olong anti-Mormon lines. He epoke
of tbe organization of tbe American
party in Utah, and said |tbe Mormon
church, being a "treasonable organ
ization," could not live In peace
with true Amerian citizens. He re
ferred to tbe Edmonds Tucker set
which caused hundreds to be sent to
prison and tbeir property confiscated,
and stated that there were at times no
Mormons in tbe republican party.
He said the manifesto, after being ra
tified by tbe oburob rand its poeple,
was openly violated. He said be
was glad when tbe plea for amnesty
was granted, and welcomed the Mor
mens again as citizens, but the Mor
mons again violated their agreement.
Senator Dubois chargee that former
Governor Morrison became a mark of
tbe chnreb and his political prestige
destroyed because he refused to take
the test oath from the constiution.
He charges former Attorney Gen
eral Bagley with being a Mormon,
"having taken a polygamous wife
while holding office."
He asserts that the *ngar bounty
Is an act of the Mormon hierarchy,
and that hundreds of dollars of the
people's money will go to tbe church
under pretense of being gWen tbe

French was powerless
than testify In the Smoot investiga
tion that the citizeu* of Idaho con
done polygamy. He asserted that
George C. Parkinson, a regent of tbe
university, is tbe highest official of
the church in Idaho. He spent a
term in the penitentiary. Bishop
Hunt of Bannock was elected speaker
of the laiit bouse. He cited Prwii*
(lent Budge as a leading offender,
but can Dot be punished because
county offices are held by relatives,
and that polygamists can not be con
J vlcted undeT the present laws, first

j He say* "the revolt in tbe republi
j can ranks is caused by tbe fact that
republican voters have discovered
that tbe state ticket is sustained by ;
the Mormon hierarchy, the tioket be
ng named through Borah snd Brady
by tbe church." It is useless for
Bomb to deuy be wss tbe attorney
for the sugar factories, and that he
is the attorney of record for Heed
Smoot, declares Senator Dubois, who
admits he eau do nothing with the
question from tbe senate, but should
be be reelected be looks to tbe Anti
Mormon legislature of Idaho to take
steps to curb the peril. He chargee
Mr. Borah with being insincere in his
offer two years ago to oonviot a single
Mormon who could be found to have
polygamous wives, for he backed
down after being confronted with a
list of 20 prominent polyagmists who
had more than one wife.
He said Mr. Borah's only means of
retaining his political prestige "ie
through forming au alliance with the
church, and that he can not attempt
to deny it. "
Senator Dubois also asserted that
the health and birth registration laws
would be fought by tbe church, as
they would cause polygamy to be
more easily detected.
The Smoot investigation proved,
be averred, that religious classes are
in all the public schools of Uteb.
The same is true In southern Idaho,
la these religious classes they hold up
as examples to the gentile children
of tender age in Mormon communi
ties tbe lives of Mormon church offi
cials.

Booker Washington Talks to Col

New York, Oct. 12.—The annual
salon of the National Afro-Ameri
can council, which baa been In pro
gram bam, waa brought to a olose last
night with aarvloaa In Zion church.
Booker T. Washington made the
principal address. He said in part:
"In the season of dletntanoe and
excitement. If others yield to the
temptation of losing cqntrol of their
judgment and give way to paaaion
and prejudice let us, as a rasa, teach
the world that we have learned the
great lesson of calmness cud self con
trol, that we am determined to be
governed by reason rather then by
feeling. Our victories In the past
have oome to us through our ability
to be calm and patient, often while
enduring greet wrong.
'If others would break the law and
trample It under foot, let us keep
and respect it and teach onr children
to follow our example. In this con
nection I repeat what I have uttered
on a recent occasion, every lota of
influence that we possess should he
used to get rid of tbs criminal and
loafing element of our people, and to
make decent, law abiding citizens.
"To the members of my raoe who
reside in the northern states let me
utter the caution that In your en
thusiastic desire to be of service to
bretbern In the south you do not
make their path mure thorny and
difficult by rash and Intemperate ut
terance. Before giving advlee to the
negro of the south the negro in the
north should be very sure that what
he advisee is that which be, himself,
would be willing to take into the
heart of the south and put Into prso •
tics. Be careful not to assist in

that Instead of this being abulution
It will but add to the complexity of
the situation.
' The indiareriminate condemnation
of all white people on the part of any
member of oar raoe is a suicidal and
dangerous policy. We must learn to
discriminate. We hare strong friends
both in the south and In the north,
and we should emphasise and magni
fy the effort* of our friends mot*
than the efforts of those who wish us
evil. The country must also learn to
differentiate between black people.
It is a mistake to place ell in the
earns clam, when referring to labor,
morality, or general conduct. Them
is a vicious dam whteh stall always
receive commendation. Further we
must frankly face the fact that the
great body of our people am to dwell
in the south, and any policy that
does not seek to barman Ire the two
races and oement them is unwise and
dangerous.
