SPECIAL TO THE sEsrrSKL-l
DEsNorNEs, Sept. 10.-Col. Geo. L. God
frey, . member OF the Utah Commission.
is in the city, and in an interview stated
that the Commission has agreed upon
some recommendations TO be made to Con-
gress regarding future legislation. Among
other things agreed upon is . marriage
law, which provides that all marriages in
Utah Territory shall be null and void
which are not in accordance with its pro-
visions. The bill provides that all mar
riages shall 30 solemnized in certain pub
lie places before witnesses. and parties
solemnizing the marriages and witnesses
shall make sfidavit that they are not
polygamists. The contracting parties are
also 4 make like afidavits as the parties
to marriages. The witnesses, the person
officiating. the place Of marriage and all
facts relating thereto must be put on pub
lie record. Proper penalties are attached
for violations regarding woman suffrage.
The Commission will probably make no
recommendation TO the Suffrage law. II
was enacted IL years ago and it is gener-
ally adopted in the Territory. Congress
has the power to repeal it. Godfrey said:
I'VE have no hesitstion in saying the law
has been . great obstruction to the speedy
settlement Of the polygsmy problem. We
shall recommend that the first, or lawful
wife, may be . witness in court in all pros
ecutions in polygamous cases."
Have you any changes to suggest
besides on your individual observation
which would be effective in accomplishing
the purpose OF the Edmunds bill ?" was
asked.
II believe il the Iowa law. giving the
right Of dover 70 the legal wife and
defendants. were put in force in the Ter
ritory 1t would aid very materially in
Graduating polygawy. Amarriage license
law would also be an effectual means Of
securing . public record Of marriage"
"Is the work Of your Commission
ended 2"
.sNo. sir. We meet again in October to
investigate some contested election cases,
in which, it 10 alleged. some polygamists

sustained. they will be impeached. Il is
Recommendation TO Congress. We really
can do but little more until further legis-
lation is had. We have done all We could
under the law We had, and We stretched
that 70 is utmost tension. No person
acquainted with the situation of affairs
win charge the Commission with being
swerved from their duty by Mormon
influence"
