WOULD GUST SMOOT
w. c. 7. U. Calculates Petitions
Asking for His Expulsion.

The United States senate will be pc
titioned to investigate the charges OF
polygamy against Senator Reed Smoot,
of Utah. The matter has been taken
up by the national w. C. T. e., which
body has sent out blank forms of Pc
titionS to be circulated throughout the
country. Copies of these petitions
have been received by the St. Paul w.
c. T. u, and will be circulated at
once.
The petitions will ask that if Senator
Smoot be found to be a poiygamist
that he be expelled from the senate as
1t is requested that the petitions be
signed by persons representing organi-
cations and those having some in
fluence
Another suggestion is made to keep
up the storm by sending along the pc
titions by installments as they are Sc
cured, and then following them up by
personal letters and kilograms to men,
bers of congress. 1t is the intention
of the union to GUST Senator Smoot and
nothing will be left undone to accom-
plish this end. The petition sent out
by the National w. c.. T. u, which
the local unions are asked to circulate,
reads as follows:
Further, the Mormon church claims
and teaches supreme authority, divine
ly sanctioned, to control it's members
in civil as well as in religious affairs.
We, therefore, urge that Senator
Smoot an apostle OF said church, be
expelled from the United States senate
as one giving his highest allegiance to
a government other than the republic
of the United States of America, and
as therefore wholly Ineligible to a seat
In the highest legislative body of the
republic"

SOLDIERS BARTER
THEIR CLOTHING
Kobbe Says Uniforms Have Be-
come a Common Article
of Trade.

According to the annual report of
Brig. Gen. w. A. Kobbe, commander of
the Department. of Dakota, a large
trade in soldiers clothing is carried on
between the enlisted men and civilians
in the vicinity of army posts.
This trade, Gen. Kobbe says, is det-
rimental to discipline and is directly
responsible for many irregularities. The
report recommends a change in the
system of issuing clothing and urges
that uniform wearing apparel be placed
in the same class as other army ac-
coutrements. If this is done the pur-
chase, sale or trade of clothing will be
felony under the United States law.
Gen. Kobbe's report, which was is
sued yesterday, says that with troops
returning from insular service and the
relatively large number of young or
more or less inexperienced officers,
progressive instruction throughout the
year seemed of the first Importance.
Unusual interest was taken in the
course Of physical training, the report
says, which extends throughout the
year, and field days either have been
or will be held at all posts. with prizes
of considerable value for the victors.
Officers Become Studious.
Continuing, the report says that off,
GERS have been infinitely encouraged in
providing and pursuing courses of in
Struction by considering that with the
organization of a general staff these
will not, as has frequently happened,
fall into disuse, but what is good in
each territorial department eventually
will be adopted for all, and that the
army will make progress everywhere
with the same approved methods.
Post schools for enlisted men and
for children, says Gen. Kobbe, have
been maintained, and progress in all
cases has been good and satisfactory.
Gen. Kobbe reneWs a recommends
ton made last year, that in each COM
pany and troop a permanent squad be
instructed as scouts.
AS rule, the report further states,
the discipline of the command has been
good and with evidence of steady i'm
provement. There have been, according
to the report, 1924 trials by court mar-
tial. These trials have embraced 1890
counts, of which nearly one-half were
for drunkenness or offenses growing
out of drunk enness. There were forty
convictions for desertion.
Wants System Changed.
Gen. Kobbe expresses the opinion
would follow a proper change in the
method Of issuing uniform clothing,
which. he says, is directly responsible
for many Irregularities. The report
says that under the present system the
great majority Of men accumulate
clothing, and with many it becomes an
article of barter and sale, not only
among themselves, but with civilians
in the vicinity of the posts.
In a separate recommendation Gen.
Kobbe urges that uniform clothing
shall be the property of the United
States, as arms, accoutrements, etc.
now are; that it shall be. easily; identi-
fable, and its sale or purchase be a.
felony by law. .a

WILL BUILD BOAT
CLUB A STAIRWAY
This Is to Pay Club for Holding Up
the Bridge.

Because the Minnesota Boat club
has allowed one Of the big piers of
the Wabasha street bridge to rest on
its island without protest the council
will present to the club nice iron
stairway leading from the bridge down
to its boat house.
At the meeting of the board of al
dermen last night bid of 1850 for
the construction of the stairway was
received from the st. Paul Foundry
company and it was accepted.
The members of the club were pres
ent to offer suggestions in case any
question was raised, but no comment
was made by the members. The ac-
ton of the board was un&nimous
The stairway, which will be of iron.

Automobiles Are Elusive.

In the morning the board tackled
the automobile proposition once more,
but found it as perplexing as when 1t
first came up. Additional information
gathered In the meantime from vari-
Gus sources tends to show that in some
of the counties of the state all sorts
of vehicles, and even contrivances that
could not by any stretch of the fancy
be classified as vehicles, have been
listed as automobiles. Some counties
have, it was stated, included baby
carriages, wheelbarrowS and go-cartS.
and nearly all of them have classified
motorcycles as automobiles. 1t was
found that in Beltrami county a hose
cart and in another county a thresh-
ing machine have been so scheduled.
All efforts on the part of the men,
bers to agree upon common stand
ard of value for the so-called auto
mobiles proved unavailing by reason
of the generally muddled condition of
the schedules, for the rural districts
were not singular in this respect, and
the returns from Ramsey, Hennepin
and ST. Louis counties were also blind.
Hennepin countys schedules disclosed
but two autos, but it was explained
that $50 had been assessed under some
other heading Ramsey county return
ed twenty EIGHT machines. but their
average valuation was 1877, which. in
Will Tie OIIl6T
was remarkably high. st. Louis coun-
ty owned up to 131 automobiles.
{ Chandeliers Make Music.
Incidentally it was found that in
some of the northern counties chande-
Tiers have been listed as musical in
strumentS.
The board decided to increase the
automobile assessment for Duluth 100
per cent. for Morrison county so per
cent and for Mcleod county &c 2-3 per
cent.
The board took up the subject Of
street cars also at the morning ses-
sion, and decided to consider that d.
vision Of the schedule as 1t applies to
Ramsey, Hennepin, st. Louis and
Washington counties at a special
meeting, as is customary.
