The invitation that the sock is not to

little sum in arithmetic. The size of
the sock worn is to be multiplied by
two, and this multiplying of socks by
an abstract number produces product
which by some legerdemain is trans
formed into pennies. The pennies are
to be placed in the sillSen receptacle

CHINESE AGITAT0Rs

Washington, Feb. 12-Advices re-

New York and other cities in this
country of Chinese agitators, calling
themselves Performers. They are
said to be soliciting subscriptions
from Chinese for the importation of
arms into China to be used by the

1t is difficult to obtain any definite
information about these agents, but If
they can be run down it is not inn

will make representations to the
Uaited States in the matter. The

HAD MESSAGE
FROM SM00T
Alice PomeTene, Who Defended Nor
mon Senator in Debate, R0Ceiy-
es Word From Him.
DEBATE AT TRINITY REFORMED.

A large crowd attended the debate
at the Trinity Reformed church We'd
nesday evening.
The evenings entertainment began
with reading by Miss Carrie Du-
mont, Judas lscariot" The poem
was rather gruesome in its tone, and
as the lights were extinguished to ado
to its effect, the reader swayed the
audience with the varying cadences of
her voice and caused the chills to
creep up and down the backs OF her
hearers. William Strassner sang THE
Turkeys Song" with power and eff
feet He was accompanied by Miss
Marie Huber on the piano.
Rev. Herbruck introduced the de-
baters of the question, Should Reed
Smoot be Excluded from the United
States Senate" Harry Webber took
the affirmative and Atlee Pomerene
defended the negative.
Mr.. Webber gave strong argument
showing why Smoot should not be ad-
mitted to the halls of the senate. aver
ring among other reasons, that he
would probably, some day If seated,
demand that the laws prohibiting
polygamy in Utah be repealed and
would be able to gain enough adher-
ents by voting for the favorite bills OF
his colleagues in the senate to enable
him to carry out such plan.
Mr.. Webber also recalled the mas
sacres of the Danites in former years
and declared that the spirit of intol-
Grafton of those who differed in reli-
giOn from themselves still exists as
IN essential feature of their creed.
He ridiculed the missionary tours
of Smoot and his former life and hab-
It's and declared that seating such a
person I'm the highest deliberative
body in the world was ridiculous.
Mr.. Pomerene delivered a splendid
speech In defense of Smoot, showing
that while the religion of the Nor
mons may have some unpleasant
features, the views which they now
hold are in conformity with the laws
of the land, so far as known.
He said that Smoot is the husband
Of but one wife and that there was no
comparison between him and Brig
ham III. Roberts. who was excluded
some time ago.
He compared the attempt to deprive
the Mormons of the right to sit In the
senate to an attempt to deprive the
citizens of the states who seeded In
1861 from such privileges.
| He declared that It is unconstitu-
tional to discriminate against any man
because of his religious belief, which,
he said, Is the only ground upon
which his enemies are trying to oust
him. His character is above reproach.
Mr.. Pomerene received telegram
from Smoot on the subject as follows
{, Delayed letter just received. live
IN Provo. Am not polygamist Never
was. Am American citizen, honoring
all laws"
| Mr.. Pomerene declared that the
sanctity of the home and womanhood
is not at stake now. but the spirit OF
fair play and toleration Is in danger.
The decision was left to the audi
ence and before the debate opened
both speakers declared their willing
ness to accede to the position of the
other. The speeches of both abounded
In witty and trite sayings and the
large crowd was very much pleased
II with the entertainment.
