2 THE MORNING ASTOMAN, ASTORIA, OREGON. WEDNESDAY, DECEMBER O, 1904 VICTIM IDENTIFIED Cutler Mountain Tragedy b Being Cleared Up. BESSIE BOUTON, HER NAME Hotel Rgitr Srv to Show Who tho Woman Wat and Polioo Art Now Looking for tht Man Who Pasd a Hr Husband. Denver. Dec ST. The News toJay aays: Bessie Bouton. believed to be th young woman who was found on Cutler mountain with a bullet in her brain and her face burned beyond rec ognitlon, was a rest at the Albany hotel in this city from May ! to July 11 This has been established by the hotel register. She was accompanied by a man and the couple registered as O. Bouton and wife. Bouton became a familiar figure at sporting resorts and when he left Denver, some time In August, he told his intimates that he was going to Syracuse, N. T. The woman who knew the Boutons best was Mrs. Mary Madison, a maid at the Albany. Mrs. Bouton told Mrs Madison that her folks came from Ger many; that her parents lived In Syra cuse, N. T. and that her maiden name was Kamter. Clerk Doty of the Albany, In speak ing of the Boutons, said: "Bouton said they were from New Orleans and they registered from there. The description of the murdered wo man flu well with Mrs. Bouton, there being no real points of dissimilarity that I can now detect During their stay at the Albany Mrs. Bouton told me her mother was sick and that she must go back to Syracuse. He objected and they quarreled, but finally they compromised by sending a package U Syracuse." Dr. Sherman Williams prescribed foi both the Boutons, while they were a the Albany. He had the following tr say: "When I saw that the mur dered woman's name was Bouton, I at once read the description given of h.dj for I remembered two patients of that name whom I treated at the Albanj hotel last summer. The description printed In the papers tallies closet) with that of Mrs. Bouton. This wo man has a good set of teeth, but there was much gold filling In them." All describe Bouton as a tall anc muscular appearing man. SENATOR BARRED (Continued from page one.) In the indictment It Is thought, how ever, the government will attempt to prove entry on the land the govern ment believes it was defrauded of. Young Is In the east, and It is unlikely the government will attempt to bring his case to trial as the offense Is not extraditable. Sorenson was deputy sheriff In Multnomah county several years ago, and later was a real estate agent He left Portland some weeks ago and his present whereabouts are unknown. Senator John H. Mitchell has made a request of the federal grand jury that he be accorded the privilege of appearing before that body at the con elusion of the government's case, and that he be furnished with a digest of all the evidence there Introduced against blm, and further that he be furnished with the names of the wit nesses who may testify against him This petition is set forth In a letter tr Assistant United States Attorney P. X Heney, and In another letter to the grand Jury- Mr. Heney declares that the request is a most extraordinary one, and gives It to be understood that It will not be his policy to give to the senior senator anything more in the nature of prlvll eges before the grand pury than would be accorded any other citizen of the United States in a similar situation. It is regarded as probable that the diverging views of the two officials with reference to the rights or privil eges claimed by the senator may lead to extraordinary developments. It was the original plan of Senator Mitchell to appear before the grand jury this afternoon, but he has changed , his mind, and instead of appearing to testify has made the request stated in the foregoing. Mr. Heney says it Is within the prov Ince of the grand jury to grant the re quest of the senator if It shall see fit to do so, but he personally sees no reason why be should be accorded more privileges than the humblest citizen In the land. Mr. Heney appeared sur prised at the new turn of affairs, and said that he had all along been pre pared to accord Senator Mitchell the right to appear before the grand Jury as soon as he arrived, according to a desire expressed in the following tele ' gram from Senator MItChell, dated at Washington, December 18: "Francis J. Heney, Assistant United States Attorney General: I will be in Portland Saturday morning next snd I demand a full investigation by a grand Jury of any and all charges, if any, against me. I aloa demand the right to testify concerning the same before the grand Jury. "JOHN H. MITCHELL," Following are the letters sent by Senator Mitchell to Mr. Heney and the grand Jury today: Portland.

President in Favor of Legislation Gov erning Rates. Washington, Dec. 27. President Roosevelt embraced the opportunity to day to take up with the members of the cabinet many questions of detail in departmental administration, the semi-weekly meeting of the cabinet, being longer than usual. At the con clusion of the meeting the members of the cabinet said In response to In quiries that little business of serious Importance was considered. After other members of ths cabinet had left the executive office Attorney General Moody discussed with the president some phases of the railroad freight questions. Both the president and the attorney general recently have! devoted much time to that problem The latter is giving particular atten tion to the legal side of the question, so that he may be prepared to advise with the president on the subject and with such members of congress as may wish to consult him. It is under stood not to be the Intention of the president and Attorney General Moody to prepare and press the consideration In congress or an "administration measure, deuling wltn tne railroad freight problem. Such a bill. It Is thought (to quote a member of the cabinet), would be destined to defeat. Both the president and the attorney general, It is said, are proceeding on the assumption that the committees Of congress are amply able to prepare their own measures, although the pres ident in conversation with senators and Representatives has presented clearly his own Ideas. At tho confer ence today no definite conclusions were reached. Postmaster General Wynne present ed to the president a report prepared by the department In response to the reslutlon of Senator Dubois, of Idaho regarding postmasters or other postal employes who may be living In polyg amy. The report will be transmitted to the senate when congress recon venes, next week. The report finds that there are four postmasters who have sustained polygamous relations saangM n into a ainoreoi woman as . PajsuDBirT, Homo If onsat Olcs. bottles Wine of Cardui. All theae are at small places, and the relations, It Is stated, have not been continued sines ths passage of tho Kd munds law, the offenses having oo- curred prior to that enactment In view of this tact. It has been determined not to take any action In their casus. HUSBAND DUPED. Doctor Advlist Farmer to Humor "Crasy" Wife, North Yakima, Wash, Deo. IT. The elopment of Dr. Edwin Hughes and Mrs. Theophllus Hatch, from this place, has brought to light parties un known here, neither one being a real dent of North Yakima, although It turns out that Yakima courts will fig ure prominently In the legal proceed ings that will follow.
