NO MARKET FOR STOLEN HAIR.
Dealers view of the Stories of
Girls Whose Brnids Disap-
pear Suddenly.

A reporter for the Sun asked dealer
in human hair whether men in his
line bought the braids reported from
time to time to have been clipped from
young girls heads in the streets and
elsewhere. He smiled and said:
"Many people think so, but they are
mistaken. If we did purchase the hair,
we would not give so cents for the pret-
tiest braid. Some people labor under
the impression that head of beautiful
tresses is worth $25 or $50. There are
in the large cities houses that buy wom-
ems hair but it is my opinion that very

cr other uspicious-looking individuals
offer US for sale hair that might have
been slashed from woman's $ head.
None has ever entered our place. Per-
sons with hair gotten legitimately some
times call to sell it, but we cannot use
it. No. human hair dressers do not
get their hair in this way. Look at
this hair. That is the only form in
which we buy it. Most of the hair used
in this country comes from France.
There women cultivate beautiful hair
for the purpose of selling it. Agents
go from house to house pay trivial
sums for it, and then skillfully cut
it off. Then it is sent to factories where
it goes through various processes be-
fore it is ready for the market. This

same length. The fine and strong hair
and the coarser and most feeble ard the
long and short must be separated. All
must be uniform. These are the reasons,
then, why we could not utilize hair Just

''How do you account for these hair

CHARGES FALSE.
Polygamy is Not Encouraged by
the Mormon Church.
PRESIDENT snow, of the Church of
latter Day Saints, is Opposed TO
Plural Marriages Election of
Roberts IA Secular Affair.

Salt Lake, Utah, Dec. 3O.-In CON
nection with the election of B. II.
Roberts TO congress and certain
charges circulated by the Presbyter
ian Board of Missions, President Lor-
EMO Snow, of the Mormon church,
furnished a statement to an afternoon
paper here yesterday in which he says
in part: Il declare most solemnly
and emphatically that the statements
which are being published to the eff
feet that the Mormon church is en-
couraging and teaching polygamy are
utterly untrue. Ever since the issu-
ance of the manifesto on this subject
by President Wilford Woodruff, my
predecessor in office, polygamous or
plural marriages have entirely ceased
in Utah.
"Since my accession to the presi-
dency of the church of Jesus Christ
of the Latter Day Saints | have re-
peatedIy asserted my intention to
stand by that manifesto and my de-
termination not to permit any mar
riage to take place under sanction OF
the church which is contrary to the
law of the state, and | now reatfirm
that statement.
The implied understanding with
the nation when Utah entered the
Union as state has been sacredly
observed. There is no intention or
disposition on tie I&rt of the aaur1E
to violate or depart from it in the
future. The enabling act required APP
probation in the legislature of the
state of Utah that polygamous or plu-
raj marriages should be forever pro-
hibited. Laws have been framed in
support of this constitutional amend
ment Heavy penalties are provided
for in case of their violation.
The election of Mr.. Il. II. Roberts
to the office Of representative in con-
gress from Utah was an entirely sec
ular affair. Non-MormOns participa-
ted in his nomination in the regular
contention of his party. Non-MGr-
mons also aided in his election. Many
Mormons not being of his party voted
for his opponent. He was elected as
an American citizen by American cit
liens and the question of religion did
not enter into the purely political
contest. The church has nothing to
do with the action of congress in re-

is to be taken of the wild statement
and anti-Mormon fulminations in the
pulpit and the press to the effect that
Mr.. Roberts has violated the state leg
islation and the requirement of the
enabling act, it is proper for me to
state. as | do most positively, that the
charge which incidentally effects the
church of which we are both mem
bers is entirely without foundation in
fact
There has been no polygamOus
marriages since 1890. There is no
movement in the church for the re-
vival of such unions. | am personally
opposed TO any such change. My as
sociates in the leadership of the
church unite with me in this determi-
nation. The excitement that has
been caused during the last few weeks
is without reason. and it appears to
me without excuse"
