0. C. Porter, connected with tho World
Herald, who hat flRiircd conspicuously In
moro than one eentatlonal episode, was ar
rented late last night on a fugitive warrant
by Follce Detective SavaRO and Dunn. He
Is to he taken to liOgan, la., for a prelim
inary hearing on a chnrgo of perjury.
rorter Is said to bo Implicated with Krcd
M. Hans, chief of detectives for the Klk
horn road, In tho California Junction train
robbery case. On July G a freight train
was reported to havo been robbed at Cali
fornia Junction, la., and tho robber cap
tured after a pitched battle. Tho following
morning the World-Herald contained an
exclusive story undc,r glaring headlines re
lating tho capttiro by tho brave liana. This
great detective, according to the World
Herald story, "leaped from the flying train
and, single handed and alone, effected the
capturo of the daring dekperadoes, who were
armed to tho very teeth." It was Indeed
a great event In the criminal history of
Iowa, and It took two columns to tell all
about' It.
Subsequent developments have shown, ac
cording to tho police, that the eo-cnlled
robbory was a deep laid schemo on tho part
of Hans and Fortcr.
Conflou Hcvcnln Hip l'lot.
On the night of tho robbery Hans placed
ntchard tUitta of Omaha under arrest and
charged him with tho crime. A few days
later Latta' confessed, tho plot and Impli
cated, Francis Daniels', a brother-in-law of
Hans. When Daniels had hla preliminary'
examination at Logap Hans sworo that Dan
iels was not on tho train that was robbed.
Porter, who was on the train with Hans,
aworo to tho same thing.
Then Daniels mado a confession, stating
that Hans bad hired blm to bo on the train
and go through tho motions of robbing a
car: that he was arrested on July 6 by.
liana; that tho detectlvo turned him over
to. Porter, who allowed him (Daniels) to
escape.
.Thore and further developments resulted
In the Indictment of Hans for perjury by
tho grAnd Jury of Harrison county. Ho Is
now under bond to appear for trial at tho
November term of court.
Tho caBo agnlnst. Porter la tho sanio as
that., against .Hans,, .and the authorities
claltrf that tho evidence In tho hands of tho
Iowa, officers shows ono to bo as guilty
as the other. Tho complaint against Por
ter was sworn to by Krnncts Daniels, who
was tho dupo of Porter and Hans until ho
mado his confession implicating both.
ItcnlM .the OntiilnlM Action.
Porter took his arrest rather cooly. At
first he agreed to return to Logan, without
requisition, but later changed his mind and
declared he would not do so. Sheriff Skol
ton of Harrison county is expected to ar
rive today with tho necessary papers.
Assistant County Attorney Egan of Har
rison county was In Omaha last night on
matters In connection with tho case. He
said: "When Porter' Is taken to Logan he
will bn. taken before a Justice, whon ho may
hare a preliminary examination or waive it,
ns ho chooses. In any event ho will bo hold
to await tho action of tho grand Jury, and
his bond will not be less than R500. Tho
cases against Hans and Porter are Identical
and both uro so strong that thero Js not, to
my mind, a partlole of doubt of convic
tion." Cold Meilal to, Hydros Beverage.

SALT LAKE CITY, Oct. 10. Lorenio
Snow, fifth presldint of the Chuich of
Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints, better
known as tho Mormon church, died unex
pectedly at his private rotldence, the his
toric Bee Hive house, at 3:35 o'clock tills
afternoon, after an Illness that had been
serious only since yesterday.
Tho Immcdlato causo of his death waa
hypostatic congestion, superinduced by ag
gravated bronchitis. Several "weeks ago
President Snow contracted a cold. Ho
was nt his desk tending to business as
lato ns Tuesday. Yesterday morning ho
wns seized with a nt of vomiting, which
continued at intervals throughout yester
day, Ln it night his physicians were called
and remained ln constant attendance until
death came. Tho church authorities bo-
came alarmed at his condition early yes
terday and most of the leaders, together
with such members of his family as could
bo summoned by telegraph and otherwise,
remained ln tho sick chamber until the
end.
President Snow's death caused a shock
to the entire community nnd Is deoply
regretted by all classes, for ho was regarded
as a broad-minded, generous-hearted
Christian gentleman, who regarded the up
building of Utah as well as the progress
of his church. President Snow's death dis
solves tho first presidency, of which ho
was tbo head, his two counselors bolus
Joseph Smith and Rudgcr Clawson. Until
his successor la chosen, which may not
be until tbo annual conferenco next April,
tho leadership of tho church will devolve
upon tho council of twelve apostles, of
which body Mr. Smith Is tho recognized
head. Unless tloath should como to him
In tho meantime, Mr. Smith will probably
bo his successor.

WASHINGTON, Oct. 10. Just before the
Schloy court of Inquiry adjourned today
Judgo Advocate I.emly Introduced Lieuten
ant J, H, llolilcn, formerly wntch officer on
Scorpion, aa a witness. Lieutenant Holden
signed thet entry ln Scorplon'a log, giving
tno particulars of the receipt of n message
for Commodore Schley from Kagle, which
that vessel had brought from Captain Mc-
Calla on May IP, 1898. whon tho flying
squadron, then bound for Clentucgos, fell
In with Captain McCalla's subsquadron,
which. had lust left that port. The govern
ment had sought to show that by this mcs
sago Commodore Schley had been notified
that the Spanish fleet was not ln the har
bor of Clcnfuegos, and Commander South-
erland ot Eagle had testified that ho had
megaphoned to Scorpion that thero were
only a torpedo boat and several cannon-
leros ln that harbor. Captain Lemly told
the cqurt today that tho log of Scorpion did
not .show tho. receipt of the mcssnge ln this
form nnd thnt ho was prepared to admit
that the evidence did not carry that mes
sage to Commodore Schley.
Other witnesses of the day wero Lieu
tenant Commander W. H. Shcutze, who
served on Iowa, and Lieutenant A. W.

that tho Spnnlsh shoro batteries wero ex
tremely weak. Ho had scon no cvldcnco
of any disposition on tho part of nny of

ican vessels.
Commnnder Schuotzc was then excused
and Lieutenant Commnnder Albert W.
Grant, who wns senior wntch officer on
Massachusetts during tho war with Spall.,
was called.
Asked by Captain Lemly concerning the
blockado of Clcnfuegos, Commander Orant
said thero were no directions giving nn
order of bnttlo there, but that thero was
upon arrival n signal from tho flagship
that Clcnfuegos was to bo blockaded. Ho
had, on tho occasion of tho maneuver nit
Clenfuegos, seen tho Spanish earthworks
thero nnd tho masts of one vessel lying
in the harbor, but nothing to his knowl
edge' had been done to destroy thoso
works.
" Commander Grant said that ho remem
bered a signal from Brooklyn boforo start
ing from Clcnfuegos anylng tho fleet wns
bound for Santiago and would rendezvous
at Gonnlvcs bav The progress on that
