POLYGAMY HEARING ENDS.
Committee Reports That II Was Not
Known the Appointees Were
Guilty of the 0Heuse.

WASHINGTON. March 13.-lThe investi-
CATION OF charges that certain Federal ap-
pointees are polygamists came to a close
today by an agreement for a unanimous
report from the house committee on post
Offices and post roads, which conducted
the investigation. The report has been
drawn UP by Representative Mcpherson.
Of Iowa, and win be presented TO the
house and made public later. today or to-
morrow. 1t Is understood to hold that at
the time the appointments were made the
president was not aware that the ap-
pointees were charged with polygamy.
AS to the facts OF the polygamous status
Of the appointees. the report states that
the common repute of the communities
in which they lived was that the parties
were poiygamists. but there is a want Of
definite and conclusive evidence on this
point.
Later in the cay Representative McPher-
son submitted the report. 1t reviews the
evidence and sums UP the finding as fol-
lows:
so your committee concluded:
"First--Neither Of the parties CPostmas-
ters Graham and SMITH are now nor have
they been under Indictment for the crime
OF poiygamy. so far rs your committee is
advised. one Of said parties is now under
information charged with the crime Of
being guilty Of poiygamous cohabltation
which crime. being m.sdemeanor. can be
lawfully charged by information in Utah
Said case has not yet been tried or in any
way determined by the court, where 1t is
yet pending.
Second-When both of said parties were
appointed. two witnesses testified the said
Graham and Smith had the repute. which
was open and notorious In the respective
communities. Of being polygamists.
.'Third-At the time a. aforesaid there
were on file as herein seq forth the pa
pers he~einpefore fe<Ste1 ana nothing
else. There was no nfidavit at any time
on nle with respect 10 either or both Of
said parties. And there Is no evidence to
show that either the president or post
master general or any assistant OF the
postmaster general, or any official con-
nected with the power OF appointment had
any notice or intimation or any fact or
facts in this report contained"
