GRAND RAPIDS, Mich., Oct. 13.—The trial of City Attorney Lant K. Salsbury, under indictment of the Kent County spe- clal grand jury for bribery and conspirac will be begun in the superior court tomor- row, uoless there shall be a sudden change in the program. Mr. Salsbury enjoys the distinction of being the most extensively indicted man in Michigan, three grand jurles in three different courts having found true bills against him and each for a different offense. He was Indicted by the Chicago grand jury last February on the charge of em- bezzling $50,000 from the Bartons of Omaha. Last summer a special grand jury In this county found three different indictments against him on charges of bribery nad con- spiracy. This week the United States grand Jury, In session here, found two more in- dictments for offenses under the national banking law. The three cases are entirely distinct and yet they all grow out of an alleged scheme to manipulate the Grand Rapids water works, About a year ago, after a long agitation of the water question, the council adver- tised for bids to supply the city with water from Lake Michigan on a fifty-year con- Propesal to Fase with Municipal Leag Echeel Board Ticket. REPUBLICANS TO GET NOMINATIONS Candidates Who Falled in Party Convention to He Given Their Own Recognition on A Mongrel Tieket, A movement is under way to give the democratic school board ticket a so-called nounartisan aspect, hit the scheme does not promise well for several reasons.

ON THE PGPE'S ANNIVERSARY Consistory of the Cath Church at Rome Probable in February. Next WAEHINGTON, Oct. 13.—In well-in- formed Catholic circles here It is belleved that the next consistery of the Roman Catholic church at Rome will be in Feb- ruary, when Pope Leo attains the twenty- fitth year of bis relgn. While there have been no definite advices to this effect ii Is thought likely that this assembly will open the jubllee to signalize the closiug of the quarter-century of Pope Leo's regime and that he will take advantage of it to deliver an allocutior, taking u strong position on the question of assassination among other things. Cardinal Martenelll will retain office here until time for the consistory. In view of his past experience it is quite likkely that Cardinal Martenelli will be as- signed in Rome to the congregations of tho holy office, known as the “Inquisition,” which watches the morals and discipline of the church, and the propaganda, which deals with the propagation of the faith. Cardinal Martenelli and two or three of the newly-created cardinals &nd possibly several cardinals and Dbishops who may in the meantime be ereated will receive the red hat at the public session of the coming consistory BALTIMORE, Oct. prints the following 13.—~The Sun today “The Sun has been for some’time in possossion of information | | gatned from one in close touch with the Vatican that no new cardinals will be created at the coming consistory, but if any names are presented no prelate in the United States will be honored.

Salsbury was indicted by the Chicago grand jury for the alleged embezzlement of $50,- 000 from the Bartons of Omaha. Salsbury emphatically denied that he was the party indicted when the news first reached this city, but a night or two later, in company of two detectives who came here after him, be Is declared to have gone to Chicago with the $50,000 in a valise to meet the Barions The Bartons were capitalists and Salsbury had succeeded in interesting them in the Grand Raplds water supply schome. As an evidence of their good faith and to help the | scheme through the councll, it is said, the Bartons placed $50,000 in a safety deposit vault in Chicago. This money. it Is alleged, was to be given to Salsbury after the awarding of the contract for distribution among the aldermen and other city officlale. Each party to the transaction had a key to the eafety deposit vault, but it is charged that Salsbury succeeded in gaining access to the box, and when the Bartons came later to take a view of the treasure all they found was a package of old newspapers. They made complaint to State's Attorney Deneen, and Salsbury’s indictment by the grand jury followed. The, case s still pending. It is declared here tha' Salsbury made enough of a restitution to insure the Bartons keeping away when the cage is called for trial, thus preventing conviction. The Chicago eplzode caused a great sen- sationvin this city and resulted in a public demand for a grand jury to investigate the first advertisement and the Lake Michigan contract, which came so near going through. No action was taken, however, until May, when the council, standing fourteen repub- licans to twelve democrats, re-elected Sals- bury city attorney by a vote of 16 to 8 in spite of the Chicago indictment. The grand jury met in May and after two months' work indictments were veturned against Salsbury, Stilson V. MacLeod, T. F. McGarry and Gerrit Albers of this city and H. 8. Taylor of New York, on charges of bribery, attempting bribery and con- spiracy. The investigation developed that Taylor had sent $100,000 to this city to secure the awarding of the Lake Michigan water contract to him and his associates. This money, brought here in $1,000 bills, it was alleged, was placed in the hands of MacLeod as custodian, and by him it was delivered to Salsbury as distributing agent. The money in the course of time disap- peared, and it is stated a demand was made for more, and when that was not forth- coming the fraudulent nature of the cer- tified checks put up as guarantees of good faith was suddenly discovered and made publie. Alber's part In the scheme, it is sald, was to approach certain of the alder- men to secure their votes for the con- tract. The others named were indicted as pricipals to the conspiracy. One blanket indictment returned names of all these respondents and “others,” and If the evi- dence warrants it other arrests may be made. The United States grand jury Indictment agalnst 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 as such is charged with issuing two $10,000 certificates of deposit to Salsbury for which no funds were deposited and of which he made no record In the bank books. Salsbury took these certificates to another bank and used them as collateral in ne- gotiating a loun. He paid the loan when due and then the fraudulent certificates were destroyed. The bank officials were ignorant of the transaction until the grand jury investiga- tions brought it to light, and when con- fronted with the charge MacLeod admitted the facts, and further admitted that he had borrowed bank money without the knowl- edge of the officials, in each instance re- storing it before its absence was discov- ered. In the United States court MacLeod is the chief offender, with Salsbury ac- cused as accessory and a party to a con- spiracy against the banking laws. The trial of Salsbury, which is scheduled to open Monday, will be the first of the series, and great interest will be taken in the devclopments. Many prominent citi- zens are on the list as witnesses and it is believed most of the aldermen will at one time or another be put on the stand to testify. It s believed some of the evi- dence will be exceedingly sensational as showlng the extent of the alleged con- spiracy and the parties involved in it.

So he rushed to Mr. Gilbert and begged him fo hold off the democratic convention until passing events would bring info the realm of possibilities and probabilities the nonpartisan scheme. When the demociatic convention met Saturday night Mr. Gilbert and his cohorts brought about a postponement of the nominations to Monday night, and now the interested parties are at work on their scheme, which contemplates the nomination of a ticket including two or three of the gentlemen who were defeated for school board nom- Inations in the republican convention Sat- urd; The promoters of this plan have an idea that the public will accept their proposed ticket as a nonpartisan production, uot seeming to consider the fact that the Mu- nicipal league is quite genmerally under- stood to be nothing but an organization of a few disgruntied democratic who have been innocently Jjoined by half dozen republicans.
