the time being, and no further at

taken until November 10, when the la
bors of the commission will be resumed.
Just before the committee concluded
Its labors for the day, Goff was ten
dered a vote of thanks for his energy
and persistency In conducting the ex
amination, and with loud cheers for
that lawyer the crowd dispersed.
Mrs. Hermann resumed the witness.
chair before the Lexow committee to
day. At the outset she made a vol
untary statement: "I am not afrajd
of Judge Hogan or Recorder Gray the.
I see In the morning papers that they
deny what I said. I can prove that
what I said is true, and I can tell lots
more."
"Lots more?" repeated' Goff.
"They have threatened to Indict me
for what I have said; I am,not afraid
of Judge Hogan."
Here the woman became Intensely
cxcltedi and Ipointed out Policeman
Petterman. who sat near. She shriek
ed: "You are a thief. How dare yon
sit there looking at me bo? You took
money from my sister."
The witness half rose, and .trembling
with emotion, continued: "You. are the
man, you and another policeman, who
ruined my niece, who was once a
good B'rl. The police ought to be
ashamed ashamed."
This caused great excitement.
Dr. Newton Whitehead took the
stand. He. Is a person charged with
having performed a criminal opera,
tlon. The witness said he had been
arreted four times. Once for sending
imDroner literature through the malls,
and three times for committing abor
tion, but the charges In all the cases
were dismissed when he paid money.
He said Detective Frink, who arrested
him. urged him to retain Lawyer
Friend, who the officer said had a
"pull" with the police and courts.
"When I was brought to the police
court, Friend demanded $500, and I of
fered him a check. He wanted money.
While I was waiting for the Judge to
arrive, Lawyer Friend askd me for
$200 more. I said, 'I have already given
you $500.' Friend answered, 'Don't
ltlpk. doctor, about $200 more. I do not
get it all. I give .$50 apiece to the po
lice; that's how I get my case. "
Lawyer Friend was In court, and
appeared uncomfortable.
"Well." continued the witness,
"Judge Ryan discharged me, Just as
Friend said he would."
"Last spring a woman named Alex
ander came to me. She wanted an op
eration performed. I declined on the
srround that I had been In 'trouble
enough. She said, 'a Judge is respon-
sibl3 for my condition,' and asked me
what Justice I had been arraigned be
fore. When I told her Judge Kerch,
she exclaimed: 'Great God, that's the
Judge who has gotten me this way
five times." She told me to see Judge
Kerch, and I did so. He said, 'Why,
has my girl been to you? I have had
her that way five times.' Just then
Mr. Friend came In. Judge Kerch
turned to Friend and said: 'I'm In
trouble with that Alexander woman
again.' The woman came to my house
again. Meanwhile I had told Goff.
He was to have a dozen detectives on
hand to hear the statements regard
ing Judire Kerch. She came before
the appointed time, and when I put her
off, Bhe went to another who treated
her."

lisle today wrote the following letter
to Hon. Herman Stump, superintendent

vious to his arrival, In violation of the

dered released. In the letter, the sec
retary says:
' I reached the conclusion that How.'
aril comes within the first provision of
Section 6, cf the act provided February

Spauldlng, that Immigrants who come
heie under employment strictly as do
mestic or personal servants, cannot be
lawfully admitted into the country,
or permitted to remain here unless they
actually come with their employers,

Immigrant officials attached to the de
partment. You are directed to make
a proper order for the release of How
ard, and for his return to the place
froin which he was taken, If he de
sires to go there."
' THE UTAH SITUATION.
Church Influence Said to Be Used In
the Campaign.
Salt Lake. Nov. 3. Today practically
ckses one of the warmest political con-
testa ever waged In Utah. Church In
fluence appears to be significant In the

successful ticket will have to carry a
majority of the Mormon Church vote.
It is conceded by the best political
authority on both Bides that will
rc:t.lt in Utah will eventually con
trol ' the destinies of from six to ten
United States senators. This Is claim
ed on a theory that the Mormons hold
th balance of power In Utah, Wyom
ing, Nevada, and Arizona, and that the
Mormon vote In these states will be
coto permanently allied with the dom
inant party in Salt Lake. Betting Is
In favor of the Republicans.

THEY DISGORGE.
Frank Turk Is Forced to Furnish the
Iroquois Sailors with More
Clothing.
The nineteen sailors mentioned In
yesterday's Astorian, who were shipp
ed on the Iroquois by Frank Turk,
one of the notorious Turk gang of
Portland, were yesterday supplied with
an amount of clothing, that under fa
vorable circumstances will last them
on their trip to New York, and keep
them comparatively comfortable after
the equator Is reaohed. When he found
that the payment of shipping money
had been stopped, he was not long In
going to one of the stores and purchas
ing a quantity of clothing and other
things requested by the men. The
latter seem 3d satisfied to go to sea
with Captain Nickels, but no sooner
was this difficulty settled than the first
mate anJ carpenter notified the cap
tain that they would not go to sea
with the crew then or. board, as half of
them' were green men. The captain
tried to persuade them that they
should be willing to take the chances
if he was, but no amount of argument
would change their minds. Captain
Nickels feels very much worked up at
the manner In which he has been
treated In this port, and as the matter '
stood late last night, he had no idea
when he would be able to get away.
Yesterday morning the Astorian r,iado
a mistake when it stated that an offi
cer notified the captain that he would
wire the insurance companies if the
rreen men Turk had shipped were not
rvniareA bv experienced sailors. The
j Insurance feature was not mentioned.
