ing in Los Angeles more interesting
individual than DR.. Mcmillan of New
ok He is the man who was de-
Hounced by Elder PenrOse in the Nor

Dr- Mcmillan is well known in Utah
Where he was engaged in missionary
work from 1875 to 1854 The Mormon

Mcmillan, and he is the head and front
of the movement to get a resolution
through the general assembly protest
ing against the seating of Reed SmOOt
as United States senator from Utah
Speaking about Senator Smoot today.
DR.. Mcmillan said:
I do not think he should have been
seated. Utah has violated her sacred
pledge made at the time of her admis-
sion and, I think, has forfeited her
rights as state. While 7 should not
object 10 an ordinary Mormon, such as
RaWlins, who now retires, I do think IL
Is an outrage on common decency and
an insult to the American people to
send an apostle for, while il may be i'm
possible 10 prove him a polygamist il
would be impossible also for him to
countenance certain laws against it,
although il is his solemn obligation to
do So"
DR.. Mcmillan declares he does not be-
lieve any apostle of the Mormon church
would feel bound by an obligation to
support any measure that COnf1icted
with the doctrine of his church. 1t is
believed the resolutions touching the
seating Of Senator SmOOt will be passed
with enthusiasm by the assembly and
Dr. Mcmillan may discuss the subject
before the meeting.

poraTy Suspension.

General Payne today received the Off
cial report of the investigation into the
recent intimidation of John Atwood,
the coIOred rural free delivery carrier
at Gallatin, Tenn The report says
only two persons were involved in the
affair, and that the sentiment Of the
community does not uphold their act.
The carrier is afraid to resume the
service, believing his life would be en-
dangered thereby, although Inspector
COnger, who made the investigation,
reports that he believes the carrier
would be entirely safe An irregularity
in the appointment Of Atwood has been
discovered and the matter has been re-
ferred to the civil service commission.
Senator Bate Of Tennessee had a con
ference today with Postmaster General
Payne and urged resumption Of service
on the suspended route but the post
master general deferred action pending
a careful consideration of the report.
subsequently Mr.. Payne declined to
say whether the service would be re-
sumed He said: There is not the
slightest doubt about the occurrence,
but whether the people on the route
were responsible for it is another ques-
ton, which has not vet been decided"

about half a million dollars in the
treasury. now there are three millions

advantage in the matter Of encouraging
