Comus. The marines went ashore In themost perfect "order, as If limply for a land-ing drill, and quickly drove th rioters ictohiding. Commandant Palmer cheerfullygave up the custom house, railroad depot,cars, locomotives and merchandise, etc., toLieut. A. C. Baker, U. S. N-- . taking thelatter's receipt for the property and thenthe commandant (an insurgtnt official) re-tired into private life once more.

By order of Lieutenant Baker the flag cfNicaragua was asrain hoisted to th iiag-eta- ff

in front of the custom house, and thestars and stripes were hoisted on the flag-staff at the northeast side of the customhouse. The British flag was hoisted byLieutenant Lewin, of the Comus, on thesouth si3e of the building and also on thewest end of the railroad station. A squadof marine?, under a lieutenant and two mid-shipmen, was Etationed at the office of theUnited States consular eqrent, who Is alsothe consular agent for EngUnd and for Italy.Lieut. J. V. Dodd, U. 8. N., was In com-mand of the United States marines 'ashore,and he soon had the custom house officethoroughly cleaned and disinfected. Hethen quartered his men as comfortably aspossible, posted sentries and got the signalcorps in working order.

During time Lieutenant Baker, ofthe Alert, and Lieutenant Lewin, cf theComus, with squads of marine, hurriedthrough the town, releasing the citizens whohad barricaded themselves in terror, fromtheir house, closing all the liquor ahops anadisarming all the ciScers and soldiers of theinsurgent army who could be cornered. Inless than half an hour after the marineslanded perfect order and peace prevailedin Corinto and the residents hurried to be-de- a'c

themselves in holiday attire, in honorof their gallant rescuers. Captair. Dykeand Commander Hanford then came ashoreand, together, inspected the posts occupiedby the marines. They received the heartythanks of the citizens arhore and of therefusee.i who had been,-i- n as much dangeras the inhabitants.

The wires having been cut no telephone ortelegraphic communication could be hadwith Corinto, Chinandega and Leon, andthe railroad track had been injured at sev-eral places between Chlnandega and Leon,rendering travel extremely difficult and slow.As there Is no cable station at Corinto theAmerican and British commanders were un-able to communicate wiuv their respectivegovernments before landing the marines.

During the afternoon Mr. Talazio sent amessenger to Chinandega to notify the com-mander of the Honduran troops there thattha situation at Corinto had - become soalarming as to necessitate the landing ofAmerican and British marines, and that thegsrt was occupied by them. In the evening

Metuta, of Honduras, and abouteighty soldiers arrived at the outskirts ofCorinto and sent forward a messenger de-manding the surrender of the cusom house,railroad station and port immediately, andthat the marines return to their Ships.Lieutenant Baker received the message andsent a reply asking for a written requestfrom President Zelaya or some official of hisgovernment competent to represent him.General Metuta evidently had no such au-thority and he returned to Amayia highlyoffended, after writing Lieutenant Baker anote, full of self-eulog- y, telling of his great-ness and pointing out what pigmies allother persons are when compared to him.

IN A TRAP.At about 11 o'clook In the morning on

May 3 General Metuta again appeared atCorinto with about eighty Hondurans andproceeded toward the custom house. But,when he reached the west end of the rail-road station, he was halted by a Britishmarine sentry and the Honduran. soldierswere ordered Into a narrow street betweenthe walled up south side of the station anda high plank fence, a position which placedthem almost directly under the rifles of adotatchment of British marines who occu-pied the upper veranda of the custom houseand also opposite to and within 600-ya- rd

range of the six-Inc- h breech-loade- rs andrapid-fir- e guns of the Comus.

General Metuta, after a parley with theyoung lieutenant in command of the Brit-ish marlnee, was allowed to pa&s with somecf .his aids to 'the headquarters of Lieuten-ant Baker, of the Alert. There he statedhe had come with authority from GeneralBonilla, Vice President of Honduras andcommander of the Honduran allies of Presi-dent Zelaya, of Nicarragua, to occupy theproperty of the government of Nicaragua,etc.

It was not then known In Corlnto whatgreat outrages the-Hhi- rr sMdiers hadcommitted on women, aid girls at El Veyjo,nor was it known that they had destroyeda great deal of property while occupyingthat place during the past two months, orGeneral Metuta's reception might not havebeen as pleasant as it was. However,Lieutenant Baker signalled for CommanderHanford and Captain Dyke, who soon ar-rived at the custom house. For an houror so they patiently listened to Metuta'sbluster, but when he threatened to occupyCorinto without waiting for President Zel-ya- 's

orders, although the latter was onlyabout thirty miles away, the American andBritish commanders decided to teach theHondurans a lesson.

A few sharp orders were given, and theAmerican and British marines, fully armedand equipped, wero drawn up. at their dif-ferent stations ashore, the Alert was sig-naled to steam up to and opposite the cus-tom house, and the Comus cleared foraction. These preparations had a calmingeffect on General Metuta. He bean toapologize as energetically as he had atiirst attempted to bluff, promised to retirewith his troops if the American and Britishcommanders would permit him. Finally Itwas agreed that General Metuta and hissoldiers should be allowed to come in outof the hot, tropical sun and roost upstairsin the telegraph ofUces at the northwestcorner of the custom-hous- e square. Butthey were warned to keep quiet and. to be-have themselves until advices wero receivedfrom President Zelaya.

A train at about 6 p. m. arrived at Cor-into from Chinandega, bringing about sixtyNicaraguan soldiers, under General EmelloHlerrera, with a letter from General Aure-liu- s

Estrada, a close personal friend ofPresident Zelaya, and commander-gener- al

of the civil department of the republic. Theletter was addressed to the JJnlUd Statesconsul at Corlnto, notifying him that Gen-eral Hlerrera had been appointed com-mander at Corlnto and assuring him andthe commanders of the United States andBritish warships that Hlerrera was an hon-est, cool, prudent and reliable man, whowould protect life and property and thatCorinto might be turned over to him withsafety as the representative of tho legalgovernment of Nicaragua.

General Bonilla, Vice President of Hon-duras, also reached Corinto by the sametrain and, at the conference with Com-mander Hanford, Captain Dyke and Gen-eral Hlerrera, apologized for the .conduct ofGeneral Metuta. Terms were agreed on,and at about 8 o'clock in the morning ofMay 4 Corlnto was turned over to theNicaraguan force.

When Presldnt Zelaya was Informed ofthe occurrence tie at once telegraphed hisapproval to the American legation at Mana-gua, with his thanks, and late; telegraphedan invitation to Commander Hanford andCaptain Dyk? and their officers to visitManagua and enjoy the hospitality of thegovernment of Nicaragua.

(Copyright, 1S0G, by the Associated Press.)MANAGUA, Nicaragua, May 14, via New

York, June 1. In view of the fact that thegovernment controlled the wires at the time,the correspondent of the Associated Presshas been compelled to send by mall thefollowing account of the landing", on May2, at Corlnto, of a force of about one hun-dred American and British marines fromthe United States cruiser Alert and the Brit-ish cruiser Comus, who, acting in the mostperfect harmony, occupied that port andprotected, until May 4, the property of for-eigners In the custom house and at the rail-road station, subduing a riotous and drunkenmob which threatened to cause the mostserious disturbances.

"

During the recent revolution In Nicara-gua there were remarkable Instances of thelawless manner In which so-call- ed ministersof provisional governments can act whenthey have the opportunity. For instance,about March 24, Samuel Mayorsa, who wasMinister for the Treasury In the Baca, orrevolutionary government, made a demand-o- n

Mr. II. S. Harding, an English subject,controller of the branch at Leon of the Lon-don Bank of Central America, for a loan of$S0,00O or about 133,000 of Nicaragua bond3 ofdoubtful ownership, threatening to withdrawprotection from the bank if the demand wasnot complied with within a given time. Mr.Harding succeeded in z taving the matter offuntil he managed to have letters deliveredsecretly to Commander Franklin Hanford,of the United States cruiser Alert, then theonly war ship at the port of Corlnto, and tothe United States consular agent at Corlnto,Mr. Henry Palarlo. Commander HanfordImmediately assured Mr. Harding that hewould resist any effort to take by force theproperty of citizens of the United States orof subjects of foreign governments in friend-ly relations with the United States. Com-

mander Hanford sent this letter by theUnited States consular agent, who tookprompt action and succeeded in saving themoney of the English bank from the Nicara-guan.om'cla- ls.

while, at the same time, clear-ly showing the insurgents that the propertyof foreigners could not be interfered with.

On April 16 Minister Mayorga issued adecree, . in the name of the revolutionarygovernment, declaring that the officers andbooks of the custom house at Corlnto wereto foe at once removed to Leon, the capitalof he"T0ltIona?yTe"renCv situatedabout thirty miles in . the Interior, addingthat "owing to the fact that the troops ofHonduras (sent to assist the force' of Presi-dent Daca's troops at Corlnto and seize themillions of dollars' worth of merchandiseIn the custom house belonging to citizens ofNicaragua and to foreigners, as they hadrobbed private dwellings and stores in. thetown of Elviejo, twenty-fiv- e miles fromCorlnto.) Samuel Mayorga, Minister of theTreasury, had gone to Corlnto with railroadtrains in order to remove the merchandise,belonging largely to foreigners, fromthe custom house of Corlnto toLeon. It was evident, however,that the real object of Mayorga's movewas to obtain possession of this property andhold it as security for a war loan. Theforeigners protested to Commander Hanfordand to Capt. Henry H. Dyke, of the Britishcruiser Comus, which had arrived at Corlntoabout April 5.

THE MINISTER ENRAGED. ,

The American and British commandersdecided that they would not allow tho in-

surgents to take possession of tha propertyof foreigners in the custom house or rail-road depot at Corlnto. As the latter build-ings were within six hundred yards of thegun3 of the two war ehlpa tbey were atleast as safe as if the property was at LeonThis enraged Minister Mayorga so muchthat- - he caused the arrest of all nativemales in Corlnto between the ages of sev-enteen and seventy years on the plea thata great battle was imminent at Momotombo.After detaining them on the railroad carsfor a few hours Mayorga released all thosewao could pay .htm from $100 to cashand returned to Leon with the other unfor-tunate inhabitants of Corlnto, without giv-ing any receipt for the money collected,but declaring that he would return again toCorlnto. This he did on, May 1, when hisparty disbanded and sought safety in flight,with ponalderable sums of money extortedfrom the people of Nicaragua. They es-caped to Guatemala in a small, schooner,the commanders of the American and Brit-Lf-a

war ships having no authority to arrestthem. But their flight showed the necessityof protecting the property of foreigners tobe greater than ever.

Although the chief of the Insurgentparty succeeded in escaping, a great num-ber of the officers and solJieTS of the insur-gent army, with their arms, flocked to Co--rinto In the hope of getting out of the coun-try, but were unable to get away owing tolack of means. The disappointed soldiersbecame reckless after their leaders desertedthem, and began drinking and rioting. Someof them succeeded in crossing the esftuaryand made for the woods. Others commencedrobbing houses and threatening the lives ofeverybody of the law and order class atCorlnto. Women were insulted, and an at-tack on the custom house was planned.

The native commandants and the handfulof police at the port were utterly Impotent,and, at about 9 o'clock in the morning ofMay 2, the commandants, at the request ofthe peaceful residents, sent a committee toChinandaga with a letter to Manuel Bonilla.Vice President of Honduras, who was incommand of the troop of that republicsent to support President Zelaya.' SonorBonilla was at El Vayko, and when he re-ceived the "request from Corinto to send aforce to protect the port he promised tocomply. There was considerable delav, andthe few policemen sent did not reach Co-rlnto until 7 p. m., which would have beentoo late to save the custom house and itscontents, although Chinandaga is only abouttwenty-tw- o miles from Corinto.

While the committer was away the mostserious disorders broke out at Corinto. Thedisbanded &olilers, seeming to be-- insanewith drink, violated .women and younggirls and began gathering about the customhouse. Palmer, the commandant of thecustom houe, hurried a written request forprotection to Mr. Henry Palazio, the UnitedStates consular agent, requesting the lat-ter to appeal for help to the commandersof the (American and British war ships inport, the Alert and Comus, asking them toland men and take charge of the iort andprotect the persons and property of Nicara-guan- s

and foreigners and of the govrn-me- nt

of Nicaragua until the government ofI resident Zelaya could send troops.MARINES LANDED.

Commander Hanford and Captain Dykeagain consu'tej and decMei to comply withthe request. Both of these officers had beenashore, and from personal knowledge wereaware of the terrible state of affairs exist-ing. Consequently, at about 1 p. m. on May2, a force of about 100 marines, commandedby four officers and a number of midship-men, were landed from the Alert aad the

Have None Fixed.

Special to the Indianapolis Journal.WASHINGTON, June 1. The complete vie-to- ry

of the free-silv- er Democrats In Ken-tucky 13 conceded In Washington to be thedeath knell of all hopes held by Mr. Cleve-land that the sound-mone- y men might con-

trol the Chicago convention. It is nq longera question of passing a sound-mone- y resolu-tion, but merely a fight by the sound-mone- y

men to prevent the free-silv- er majority fromruthlersly sweeping everything before it. Itis no secret here that certain members ofthe 'Cabinet are Inwardly rejoicing at thecrushing defeat of Secretary Carlisle,amounting, as It does, to his absolute repu-diation by his own. State. . For some timecertain members of Mr. Cleveland's councilhave been compelled to swallow tho Presi-dent's angry taunts at their lack of influ-ence in their own States. Secretary Herbertwas swept away in Alabama; Postmaster-gener- al

Wilson went to his political death InWest Virginia; Secretary Smith has failed tohold Georgia; Secretary Morton could onlyorganize a bolt In Nebraska. Time aftertime they were told, to regard Kentucky andlearn there how a really strong man couldcarry his State, even against fearful odds.Secretary Carlisle was held up constantlyas a model. Hence the Secretaries who havehad "Carlisle" dinned Into their ears areto-d- ay accepting the result la Kentuckywith more than resignation.

Now, while the victory of free sliver inKentucky means that the silver men willcontrol the Chicago convention, it would bea premature assumption to claim that theDemocratic platform will come out openlyfor free and unlimited coinage of sliver atthe ratio of 16 to L A Democratic Senator;whose past services and present leadershipIn his party make his statements of value,said to the Journal correspondent this after-noon: "The result In Kentucky settles thequestion as to which policy will control theconvention, but I feel certain that the plat-form will not promise free coinage at 16 to 1,

just as I feel certain that your platform atSt. Louis will not promise gold monometal-lism. The free-silv- er men at Chicago willdemand a 16-to--l plank, but they will bemade to yield. It' Is my belief that the Chi-

cago platform, while a silver platform, willsay nothing of a ratio; certainly It will notfix as low, a ratio as IS to L Possibly 20 to1 may be named, but I do not expect to seeany definite' statement on that point. - Foryou must Temember that (while the free-silv- er

men will have the majority, there willbo between two hundred and three hundredsound-mone- y men, and we do not proposethat the free-silv-er men shall ride rough-shod over us. The East, you must remember,will line up solidly for sound money, and wewill be able to force concessions. They arestrong enough to build the platform, butthey cannot nominate a man to stand onthat platform without our votes.

The Coliseum Building; Tested.CHICAGO, June 1. The Coliseum building,

at Qixty-thlr- d street and Stony Island ave-nue, in which the Democratic NationalConvention Is to be held, was thrown opento the public to-da- y. Buffalo Bill, with hiscowboys, rDronchos, Indians and other socialbright lights from the West and his aggre-gation of rough riders from sundry ends ofcreation, had the honor of drawing the firstcrowd in the building, ard they drew onesufficiently large to prove the building willaccommodate in splendid shape any crowdthat may gather to watch the work of thepoliticians. The work of choosing a(residential nominee by a great po-itic- alf party transcends the anticsof a pack of bucking bronchos indignity, importance and all other thingssave one, and that Is drawing power. Asmany people may come to hear the oratorsas came to-nig- ht to listen to the "You-you- "

Chairman Harrity. of the Democratic na-tional committee, watched the Indians, thebuffalo and the bronchos to-nig- ht, and in-cidentally took notes concerning the build-ing. He expressed himself as more thansatisfied with it, and said: "Tho show isall right, too."

OALT LAKE CITY, Utah. June L It Isbelieves that Rev. Francis Hermans, the al-leged murderer of OIIss Clausen and others,has been located. G. M. Nolan, an employeof the California . Wine Company, declareshe met Hermans in his recent travels andwas on a railroad train with him two days.From the description given he is certain hehas mada no mistake in the man. For thepurpose of securing the reward Nolan leftthis city last night accompanied by two of-

ficers to make the arrest. He will not saypositively to what point he Is but Itis believed to be some place in the wilds ofIdaho. He cays Hermans will be found ata point seventy miles from railroad or tele-graph communica'tion.

The. St. Paul Globe contains this Interest-ing sketch of pastor Francis Ilerznans'slife: The disappearance of Rev. FrancisHermans from Salt Lake City and the sus-picion of murder attached to his namecaused no j small amount of excitementamong the ministers of the Norwegian-Danis- h

Methodist Conference, now In session inSt. Paul, among whom Dr. Hermans wasnot unknown. The feeling seems to bedivided as to the possibility of the missingpreacher's guilt, though tho majority leantoward the theory that. In the face of suchstrong evidence, and the fact that uglyrumors have before been connected with hiscame, his Innocence is douotful. Rev. Fran--,exs Hermans has many acquaintances amongthe Scandinavians of the Twin Cities, hav-ing: come to Minneapolis hi 1S31, through theInstrumentalities of Elder Rev. Jacobson, ofthat city, in whose residence Hermans liasbeen regarded almost as a member of thefamily.

Six years a so He v. Jacobscn went to Nor-way. On the voyage he became acquaintedwith a clergyman whose prepossessing ap-pearance and winsome manners attractedgeneral attention. Rev. Jacobson becameinterested in the man and when he learnedthat his new acquaintance was at the headof the Seamen's 2ll3sion at Glasgow, Scot-.an- d,

he became anxious to learn somethingmore regarding him. That clergyman wasFrancis Herman?, a Swede by birth, but aprominent worker for the mission museether countries besides his own. notablyFrance, where he was the proprietor of .axtenalve tailors' home, and in Scotia-wher- e

he resided, and, a already sta.ipresided over the Seamtn's .Mission at ii'.u- -

The acquaintance thus formed ripenedfrow. the warmest mutual friendship. Noth-ing would do but lUv. Jacobson should ac-company Hermans to his home, which heUd. finding him coror&tiably situated andC3j?7in3r the highest riVjject among allc'zrrs. Thui church people 'were profuse in

THE "DROIMERS" WILL TAKETERRE IIALTE BY STORM TO-DA- Y.

National Meettnsr oil the TravelersProtective Association Will Havo

Six Hundred Delegates.

Special to the Indianapolis Journal.TERRE HAUTE. Ind., June 1. There will

be six hundred delegates In the national con-

vention of the Travelers' Protective Asso-ciation which - meets here to-morr- ow

and it is expected that fifteenhundred or two thousand more mem-

bers of this, the only national organizationof commercial travelers, will be here to-morr-ow

evening to take part In the Illuminatedparade. The annual conventions are madean occasion for a week's reunion and a gen-

eral good time and the T. P. A. men willbe dropping In during the week if only for aday. The city Is being ehVborately decoratedand tihe illuminated parade to-morr-ow hasbeen arranged on a big scale.

The election of John C. Wilkinson as pres-ident, which had been assured, has beenupset by Mr. Wilkinson's withdrawal. Ithas always been conceded that the Missouridivision should name tho president becausethe headquarters were formerly located inthat . State. Mr. Wilkinson has decided thathis business affairs and his health will notpermit him to accept. Col. John A. Lee hasserved three years and announced that hewould not be a candidate for a fourth term,but since Mr. Wilkinson's withdrawal hehas consented .nd he will be elected withoutopposition. He is the editor of the Inter-state Grocer, published in St. Louis, and Isa member of the Board of Police Commis-sioners in that city.

The most important question to come be-

fore the convention is that of railroad rates.The T. P. A. was organized for the purposeof securing better railroad rates, improvedhotel accommodations and legislation ' onmatters in which the commercial , worldmight fce interested. It was mostly throughIts efforts that the railroads Issued the In-

terchangeable mileage books which recentlywere abandoned by the companies. The T.P. A. men think the railroads are treatingthem unfairly in the matter by making Itappear that traveling men have been dealingwith 'scalpers and that therefore the bookshad come Into misuse. The traveling menhad agreed to most any measure of. pre-caution in this" regard, but the traffic asso-ciation does not seem willing to give themthe books. The abuse of them according tothe Taellef of the traveling men, was dueto the acts of the railroad companies them-selves, as the scalpers bought them directfrom the agencies. The feeling of resent-ment towards the railroads has been in-creased by their refusal to grant special ex-cursion rates for the convention. Severalhundred men in Decatur and Peoria wantedto come here to-morr- but no better ratethan one fare for the round trip could besecured. At the same time the companiesare making rates at less than that for ex-cursions to St. Louis. The traveling mensay that they patronize the railroads theyear around, whereas the St. Louis excur-sions are patronized by persons who neverride on the roads except on some cheap ex-cursion.

It is probable that the convention willstart a movement for legislation In the tev-er- al

States in the middle West for a gen-eral rate of 2 cents a mile for all personsand for all distances.

The convention 'will be called to order to-morrow morning in the opera house, whenan address of welcome on the part of theState will be made by Governor M,atthws,and on the part of the city by Mayor Boss.CoL R. W. Thompson is also expected toadd to the welcome. The afternoon sessionwill be for association business. There willbe sessions Wednesday and Thursday morn-ings.

The ladles Who accompany the visitors tothe city will be met at the hotels by com-mittees of Terre Haute ladles and to-morr- ow

morning will be guests at the TerreHaute Club. Wednesday morning theywill toe taken riding by a com-mittee of ladles. Wednesday night therewill be a special vaudeville perform-ance at Harrison Park, one of the perform-ances being dancing by Miss Fuller, a sisterof "La Loie," who will use the lights andapparatus used by the slater in the danceswhich have made her famous. Thursdaythere will toe racing and athletic sports atthe fair grounds and that night there willbe a banquet and dancing at the TerreHaute House. Friday morning a Fpeclaltrain will carry all who want to make thetrip to Put-in-Ba- y, going by the way ofDayton over the Panhandle, and to Toledo.Saturday evening the excursionists will goby boat to Detroit, where they will remainuntil Sunday night, returning to Toledo byboat and back here, or so many of themwhose convenience it will be to return tothis city, Monday morning.

After Rev. Jacobson's visit to Norway heagain made a brief call upon Rev. Hermansat his Scotland home, during which thelatter expressed a strong desire to come overto America. Jacobson agreed to bear hiscase in mlnd and immediately upon his re-turn to the Untied States, laid Herman'scase before the various church authoritieshere. But at the time no place could befound for him. A year later, however. Rev.Tollefson, of Minneapolis, decided to leavehis charge, and Rev. Hermans wras sent for.He came and at once took charge of Rev.Toilefson's congregation, over which he pre-sided for about six months, after whichhe removed to West Superior. Meanwhile,Hermans, who claimed having been awidower while In Scotland, had married aMiss Bertha Wangea, of Minneapolis. Thestory goes among Ids friends that the wifeproved to "be of unsound mind, which con-dition grew worse after the removal of thecouple from Minneapolis to West Superior,and in February, 1S92. It was decided tosend her to the insane asylum. Death, how-ever,: came., to hw. relief a fev hours prevlous.to the time set for her removal. Ayear afterward he married a Miss t.omen,of Iowa, the ceremony being performed inMinneapolis. Rev. Hermans continued toreside at West Superior until the fall of1883. when he removed to Salt Lake City,Utah, where his wife died shortly after-ward.

About four weeks ago Rev. Hermans wasin St. Paul and Minneapolis on a tour ofthat country., soliciting and collecting meansfor his Salt Lake City church, for which hewas duly authorized toy the bishops. Hewent from here to West Superior, returnedto the Twin Cities, and then left for Chicago,from where word was received of him inSt. Paul from Mr. Hansen, of Chicago, thebook agent of the Norwegian-Danis- h church;and also from editor Hagensen, of DenChrlstelige Ta'smand. Rev. Hermans is ashort, heavy-s- et man, of light complexion,sandy hair, and wears gold-bow- ed glasses,being somewhat near-sighte- d. He is aboutforty-fiv- e years of age, and a favorite withthe fair sex.

F. A. Scarvie. who Is presiding at theconference in St. Paul, was seen after themeeting last evening and said that themembers had intended sending a telegramof Inquiry to Salt Lake City In regard totho matter, but had not yet done so. Mr.Scarvie is the pastor of the church at WestSuperior. where Rev. Hermans formerly pre-sided, and knows the man well. He saysreport has not been idle with the suspectedman's name before, there having been somepointed questions asked at the time of hissecond wife's death, who only lived a fewmonths after the marriage. Mr. Scarviesaid no doubt this old trouble would comeup should the Salt Lake City matter cometo trial. Mr. Scarvie said he himself hadalways distrusted the? man Instinctively,though he really knew no harm of him;that he was popular with the women. Rev.Hermans has had photographs taken, bothwith and without a mustache.

Hermans was In Minneapolis April 8,calling at the home of Rev. O. L. Hanson,2106 Ninth avenue south. He had been inthe city some little time, collecting sub-scriptions for his church in Utah. Thatnight he left, saying that he was goingto Chicago. Mr. Hanson says that that wasthe last he saw of Hermans, but later, whenhe went to Chicago, he learned that theUtah clergyman had received a telegramfrom the presiding elder at Utah, orderinghim to return at once. When the presidingelder of the Utah district passM throughMinneapolis somo time ago, he gave outmeager information to the effect that Rev.Hermans wa In trouble, but said littleabout It. He (left the Impression, though,that a woman was involved.
