Salt Lake City, Utah, Feb.
13.-Considerable comment and

Utah over the action of Senato
elect Smoot in seating some

STAKEHOLDER. 1t must have

Friends of Smoot defend his
course. He himself is quoted
as saying in explanation: IF
President Roosevelt is not too
good to entertain a colored man
at the White House, l didn't see
why l shouldn't have colored
people as my guests"
The occasion at which this
incident took place was ban
quet given by the apostle and
Mrs. Smoot to the members of
the legislature and the state
officials in Provo. Invitations
we're given the officers of both
houses of the legislature.

murder of Christians in different parts of
Beirut continues. Disorder prevails and
traffic is destroyed. AT a meeting of the
consular corps ii was decided to call on
Rear Admiral Cotton for eventual protec-
ton of the foreign consulates, which he
later agreed to furnish. 1t is considered
that the Americans could land 500 men.
Some Americans ii is believed have already
landed. The American ships are cleared
for action. Other warships are expected"

of Admiral Cotton's intention to land

sulate at Beirut. If necessary. and of his
holding landing party in readiness to pro-
tect the foreigners there. The officials
here say 1t would be just what the Ger

easily calculated and will tend to excite
the Turkish government and add to the
perplexities."
Several OF the German newspapers, while
rather restrained in their language, look
with distrust on the presence of the Amer
lean warshfps at Beirut as likely to dis
turb the Mussumans. Other papers. how
ever, say that il is not fair to ascribe the
outbreak to the arrival of the American
ships. The Tageblatt says Admiral Cotton
is cautious and reliable commander and
not headstrong and compliments the tone
of his reports to Washington.

among whom. however. were no foreign
ers. The shops are closed, the streets are
deserted and the government is seemingly
unable or unwilling to assure the safety
of the residents.
The arrival of the American cruisers
Brooklyn and San FRANCISCO was oppor-
tune. Admiral Cotton is on the alert. Sig
nal men and a guard slept at the United
States consulate last night. The men on
board the warships are under arms, ready
to disembark on signal from the con-
sulate. The boats of the Brooklyn and
the San Francisco have reconnoitered the
coast below the property of the American
mission in order TO select landing places in
case of need. The American mission au-
thorities have demanded guards from the
Governor for the protection of the mission
printing office and the mission property.
An attempt TO enter an American residence
on Saturday was frustrated.
The Americans here think the United
States government should insist on the dis
missal of the valisof Beirut, notorious
bribe-taker, to whom all the disorders are
attributed. The opinion here is that the
powers should take action TO bring Beirut
under the jurisdiction of an autonomous
Christian government for the Lebanon dis
trict.
