Rests with the Iowa Faction OF tn e
Mormon Church.
KANSAS CITY. March 3-Tsmpls lot. q
sacred piece OF Mormon soil In Indepen-
denos. for which the rsorg1nizsd charch Of
Jesus Christ Latter Day saints and the In
dependence faction Of the Mormon church
have been fighting in the courts for four
years was to-day decided by Judge Phil
lips. of the district court. to be the prop
erty of the reoTRanized church. Ths sue
oessful organization has It's headquarte Q
at Lamont, Ia. with a following of $4,000
souls. and its president Is Joseph smith,
Jr., son Of ophet Joseph Smith, founder
OF MOrmonism.
Besides settling the title TO the much
priced tsmple los, which Is known smong
hormons as the Garden of Eden, the
opinion incidentally finds, from the sYi-
donce. that the reoraan zsd church Of
Latter DaJ Saints az Lamont Ia, Is the
real church founded in 1880 by Prophet
Joseph smith. and that the factions OF she
Mormon church In Utah and Independence
have departed from the teachings of the
prophet.
Incidentally 20 the decision. Judge
Phillips numerically scores ths Utah
polygamist church. lie says; Among
she quorum OF tWelvs representing the
apostles was Brigham Young, man Of
intellectual power, and aggt essiVe. II not
audaoious. lie led the greater portion
Of Mormons 70 Salt Lake. Utah. From
this settlement sprung the powerful body
known as the salt Lake OF Utah church.
I here can be 40 question that brigham
Young's assumption of the presidency was
a bold and bald usurpation. The book OF
doctrine gave Joseph smith to be the pres
idsnt OF the church. The book tanRht
clearly that succession should descend lin
eally. And 90 20 tho nrst born; Joseph
smith so taught, and before his taking of
publicly proclaimed his son successor, aud
be was so announced. NounR'a assumption
of office was itself departure from the
law of the church. The book of Mormon
pronounced she severest anathsma against
she crime Of polyRamy."
