WASHINGTON, Oct. 13. In well-in

that tho next consistory of tho Roman
Catholic church at Rome will be jn Feb
ruary, when Popo Leo attains tho twenty-
fifth year of Ms reign. While thero have
been no definite advices to this effect it Is
thought likely that this assembly will open
the Jubilee to slgnallzo tho closing of tho
quarter-century of Pope Loo's regime nnd
that he will take advantago of It to deliver
an allocution, taking n strong position on
the question of assassination among other
thtngs. Cardlnnl Martcncllt will retain
ofllco hero until tlmo for tho consistory. In
view of his past experience It Is qulto
likely that Cardinal Martcuelll will ho as

holy office, known as tho "Inquisition,"
which watches tho raornls ami discipline of
the church, nnd tho propaganda, which
deals with the propagation of tho faith

SALSBURY'S TRIAL DUE TODAY
Attorney Who AVns Arrested on liar
ton's Coniplnliit In lo l'nee h
Mlelilunn Jury.
GRAND RAPIDS, Mich., Oct. 13. The
trial of City Attorney Lant K. Salsbury,
under Indictment of the Kent County spe
cial grand Jury for bribery nud conspiracy,
will bo begun In tho superior court tomor
row, unless thoro shall be a sudden chauge
In tho program. Mr. Salsbury enjoys the
distinction of being tho most extensively
Indicted man In Michigan, threo grand
Juries In threo different courts having
found true bills against htm and each for a
different offense.
Ho wns Indicted by the Chicago grand
Jury lost February on the chargo of em
bezzling $50,000 from the Bartons of Omaha.
Last summer a Bpeclal grand Jury In this
county found three different indictments
ugalnst him on charges of bribery nnd con
spiracy. This week the United States grand
Jury, In session here, found two moro In
dictments for offenses under tho national
banking law. The three cases nro entirely
distinct nnd yet they nil grow out of an
alleged scheme to manipulate tho Grnnd
Rnplds water works.
About n year ago, after a long agitation
of tho wntcr question, tho council adver
tised for bids to supply tho city with water
from Lake Michigan on n fifty-year con
tract, nt the expiration of which the en
tiro plnnt should become tho property of
tho city. In rcsponso to this advertise
ment two bids wero received, ostensibly
from different parties, but In reality from
tho same promoters. Tho most favornblo
of tho two proposals called for n dally
minimum supply of nbout double tho city's
actual consumption and nt n prlco per
1,000,000 gallons nbout doublo tho present
cost of pumping.
Tho two bids were held for scvernl weeks
and then word wns passed around that
enough aldermanlc Votes had been secured
to award tha contract on the so-called
Taylor bid. Instead of nwardlng tho con
tract, however, Mayor Perry mado the an
nouncement that tho certificates of deposit
put up as evidences of good faith were
bogus. This killed tho Taylor bid and
tho samo night tho council ordered tho ad
vertisement for n Lake Michigan contract
to be again published for threo months for
tho purpose of receiving additional pro
posals from other sources.
In February, Just beforo tho closo of tho
threo months' period, City Attorney Lant K.
Salsbury was Indicted by the Chicago grand
Jury for the alleged embezzlement of $30,
000 from tho Bartons of Omaha. Salsbury
emphatically denied that ho was tho party
Indicted when tho news first reached this
city, but n night or two Inter, in company
of two detectives who'enme here nfter him,
bo Is declared to have gono to Chicago with
tho $50,000 In n valise to meot the Bartons.
Tho Bartons wero capitalists nnd Salsbury
had succeeded In interesting them In tho
Grand Rnplds wntcr supply ochame. An nn
evldenco of their good fnlth nnd to help the
scheme through the council, It Is Bald, the
Bartons placed $30,000 In a safety deposit
vault In Chicago. This money. It Is alleged,
was to be given to Salsbury nfter the
awarding of tho contract for distribution
among the aldermen nnd other city ofllclala.
Each party to the transaction had a key
to tho safety deposit vault, but It Is charged
that Salsbury succeeded In gaining nccess to
tho box, and when tho Bartons came later to
tuko n view of tho treasure all they found
was n pnrkngo of old newspapers. They
mado complaint to State's Attorney Dencen.
and Salsbury's Indictment by the grnnd Jury
followed. The, caso Is still pending. It is
declared hero tha. Salsbury mado enough ot
a restitution to Insure the Bartons keeping
away when trie case Is called for trial, thus
preventing conviction.
The Chicago epliode caused a great sen
sation ln this city and resulted in a public
demand for h grand Jury to investigate the
first advertisement and the Lake Michigan
contract, which ramo so near going through,
No action was taken, however, until May,
when tho council, standing fourteen repub
licans to twelve democrats, re-elected Sals
bury city attorney by a vote of 16 to S In
splto of the Chicago Indictment.
Tho grnnd Jury met In May and nfter two
months' work Indictments wore returned
nBalnst Salsbury, Stllson V. MacLeod, T.
r. Aicuarry nnd Gerrlt Albers of this city
and H. S. Tnylor of Now York, on charges
of bribery, nttemptlng bribery nnd con
spiracy. The Investigation developed that
Taylor had sent $100,000 to this city to
securo the nwardlng of the Lake Michigan
water contract to him and his associates.
This money, brought hero In $1,000 bills,
It wns alleged, was placed In tho hands of
MacLeod as custodlnn, nnd by him It was
delivered to Salsbury ns distributing agent.
Tho money In tho course of tlmo disap
peared, and It In stated n demand was made
for more, nnd when that was not forth
coming tho fraudulent nature of tho cer
tified checks put up as guarantees of good
fulth was suddenly discovered and made
public. Albcr'8 part In tho schemo, It Is
said, was to approach cortaln of the nlder
men to securo tholr votes for tho con
tract. Tho others named woro indicted
as prlclpals to the conspiracy. One blanket
Indictment returned names of all theso
respondents and "others," and if tho evi
dence warrants It other arrests may be
mado.
The United States grand Jury Indictment
against Salsbury and MacLeod Involves an
other transaction, though it Is believed it,
too, related to the water scheme. MacLeod
was paying teller In the Old National bank,
and ns Such Ih charged with Issuing two
$10,000 certificates of deposit to Salsbury
for which no funds wero deposited and of
which ho mado no record In tho bank books
Salsbury took theso certificates to another
bank and used them ns collateral In ne
gotiating a loan. He paid tho loan when
due and then the fraudulent certificates
wero destroyed.
Tho bank officials wore Ignorant of the
transaction until tho grand Jury Invosttga
tlona brought It to light, and when con
fronted with the chargo MacLeod admitted
the facts, and further admitted that ho had
borrowed bank money without the know!
edge ot tho officials, In each Instance re
storing It before Its absence was discov
ered. In the United States court MacLeod
Is the chlof offender, with Salsbury ac
cused as accessory and a party to a con
splracy against the banking Ibwb.
Tho trial ot Salsbury, which Is scheduled
to open Monday, will be tho first ot the
series, and great Interest will bo taken In
tho developments. Many prominent citi
zens are on the list as witnesses and it Is
believed most of the nldormon will nt one
time or another be put on tho stand to
testify. It Is believed some of tho evl
denco will be exceedingly sonaational as
showing tho extent of tho alleged con
splrucy and tho parties involved In It.

A movement Is under wny to glvo tho
democrntic school board ticket a so-called
nonpartisan aspect, but the schema docs
not promiso well for scvernl reasons. Ono
obstacles Is that there nro old lino demo
crats in tho nominating convention who
would ns soon accept prohibitionists as
so-called republlcnn3 on tho ticket, nnd It
Is Improbable that thoy will permit tho
nomination of any but tock-rlbbcd demo
crats. Evcu should the attempt to put up
n "nonpartisan" ticket succeed, It would
not go down ns such with tho voters, who
would not bo slow lo understand the Im
port of tho deal. s
The nonpartisan schemo was born of n
flirtation botween a fow democrntic lendors
nnd tho uuccrtnln quantity known ns tho
Omnhn Municipal leaguo, projected somo
months ago by Euclid Martin nnd his silk
stocking compatriot. Will Hcrdmnn, W.
O. Gilbert nnd scvernl other of tho Jack
sonlnn lenders, realizing that any school
board ticket nominated by the democrats
alone must go down to certain defeat, sev
eral daya ngo hit upon tho brilliant Idea
ot Inviting the Munlclpnl league to name
tho candidates to be formally put In nom
ination by the democratic city convention.
Their first Invitation was on condition that
none but democrats bo named by tho
league, with n particular npcclflcntlon thnt
M. F. Funkhouser bo Included In tho list.
Euclid Mnrtln, nctlng for tho lengue, ac
cepted tho Invltntlon, nnd Inst Friday night
he Informed Mr. Gilbert that he would
hand In the flvo names on Saturday, In tlmo
to receive tho ratification of tho demo
crntic city convention Saturday night.
Then camo n change In the program. It
became evident on Saturday that certain
candidates for republlcnn school bonrd
nomination wero to bo cUcappointed and It
occurred to tho Hordmon-Gllbcrt-Martln
combination that two or threo of tho de
feated republicans might easily bo Induced
to accept nomination!) from tho hnnds of
tho Municipal league, even If tho nomina
tions had to como formally from the demo
cratic party. If nny coaxing wero needed
to bring these republicans to tho ordeal of
taking democratic nominations, perhaps
Superintendent Pearse, C. S. Hayward and
tho Commercial club politicians could do
tho work. Mr. Mnrtln, who prides him
self upon his political sagacity, behold a
gaping, hospitable void, which could bo
filled only by h nonpartisan school board
ticket. So he rushed to Mr. Gilbert nnd
begged him to hold off the democrntic
convention until paavlng events would
bring Into the realm of possibilities nnd
probabilities the nonpartisan scheme. When
the democrntic convention mot Saturday
night Mr. Gilbert nnd his cohorts brought
nbout n postponement of tho nominations
to Mondny night, nnd now tho Interested
parties aro at work on their scheme, which
contemplates tho nomination ot a ticket
including two or three of the gentlemen
who wero defeated for pchool board nom
inations In the republican convention Sat
urday. The promoters of this plan havo nn Idea
that tho public will accept tholr prpposod
ticket as n nonpartisan production, not
seeming to consider tho fact that tho Mu
nicipal league Is qulto generally under
stood to bo nothing hut nn organization of
a few disgruntled democratic politicians,
who have been Innocently Joined by a
half dozen republicans.
It Is not likely thnt tho schemo will go
through the democratic convention. Per
haps a majority of the delegates ap.ico with
John J. Mahonoy when ho says: "I would
rather glvo nil five nomlnntlons to women
than nllow them to bo dictnted by tho
Municipal lenguo."
Dr. Swobodn's defeat In tho republican
city convention Saturday night Is accounted
for by tho unwillingness of republicans
generally to bestow favor upon ono who
had ho recently nldcd and abetted tho
enemy. Nono of tho dclegntcs doubted for
n moment tho doctor's ability for the school
board, but they nil remembered tho wny In
which ho nllowrd himself to bn wed two
ycnr.i ngo to encompnss the- defent of nt
least three of tho candidates on tbo repub
llcnn county ticket. It was Dr. Swoboda's
acceptanco of tho democrntic nomination
for coronor In 1890 thnt brought to tho
democrntic tlckot -sufficient support from
tho Bohemians to carry through the candi
dates for clerk of tho court, sheriff r.nd
treasurer, although tho doctor himself fell
outsldo tho breastworks.
nenubllcans cenorallv nro gratified over
tho reorganization of their city commltteo
on a basis which makes thorough nnd com
plete campaign work n possibility. The
new central committee will hnvo eighty
flvo members, Including a representative
for every voting precinct in tho city and
r.n executive committeeman for every ward,
Each precinct committeeman will bo
charged with tho duty of supervising the
registration, canvassing tho voters nnd
general campaign work of his own baili
wick. Heretofore this work has bten given
out In much larger territories for each man
and It has been Impossible to attend to It In
detail.

WASHINGTON, Oct. 13.-It is probable
that n liberal building policy with respect
to havnl ships will be urged upcxvcongress
nt the approaching session. No authoriza
tion for new construction was given by con
gress nt tho Inst session owing In part to
n disagreement ns lo tho respective merits
of slnglo nnd superposed turrets. Congress
contented Itself with n direction to the
Navy department to submit full plans for
two battleships and two armored cruisers
to it nt the approaching session, so thnt
tho body could Itself choosu between the
designs.
Socretary Long, however, does not re
gard himself ns estopped by this direc
tion from recommending the construction
ot additional warships nnd nn n full year
hns been lost in tho execution of the unval
bill from the scheme laid down by the
Policy Bonrd nnd ns moro tlmo has been
lost through tho great delay In construc
