GREAT INTEREST IN The CASE
A Most Thorough Investigation Of the
Whole Subject May be Made
By the Committee.
ATTITUDE ur M. - CHURCH
An Effort Will be Made to Ascertain
What il is Towards the United
States Government.

Washington, Dec. 10.-Chairman Bur-
rows.of the senate committee on pirvi--
leges and elections, has called a meet
ing of the committee for Saturday to
consider whether any action shall be
taken on the protests and petitions for
the expulsion of Senator Reed Smoot
Of Utah. There is an immense mass
Of petitions, coming from forty differ
ent states.
Congressional callers at the White
House are manifesting increased inter-
est in the case involving the seat Of
Senator Smoot of Utah, and the indi-
cations are now that the contest, which
II is asserted is certain to result in the
present agltations, will rival in import
ance and IN earnestness the case of
Brigham II. Roberts before the house
OF representatives few years ago.
While the president Is familiar with
the developments thus far In the Smoot
case no effort Is being made by either
side 10 draw him into the controversy,
the realization being general that II in
wolves a question which the senate
must determine for itself.
That thorough investigation Of the
subject will be made by the. senate
committee on privileges and elections
now appears TO be beyond doubt BY
those who are pressing the investlga-
ton II Is said il will be more compre-
henslye and searching than any similar
inquiry ever held. An effort Will be
made TO ascertain accurately the attl-
tude or the Mormon" Church toward
the government of the United States,
and to learn whether or not member
OF that organization is bound by any
pledge or oath, the taking Of which Is
Incompatible with his oath as senator
VI the United States.
1t Is believed by some at least, of
those who are opposing Senator Smoot
that any effort made to prove he liz q
poygamist would result In failure, and
while that point cannot be said to have
been abandoned absolutely, II Is quite
certain the opposition Will concentrate
its endeavors to prove that the. position
he holds in the Mormon" Church Is
Incompatible with the oath OF al
legance he has taken to the United
States, That proof must be ample, In
the opinion of senators, before he can
be unseated.
As to the ability of the opposition to
Senator SmOot to establish such
proposition there is wide divergence
Of opinion among the senators, but
there is pretty general agreement
that II It should be established It's re-
suit would be the unseating of the
Utah senator

Two Wagon Loads of Men Come in
From Emery County Under
Escort.
OUTPUT YESTERDAY, 1900 TONS.
Twenty. Eight New Men Went to Work
In Various Camps of the
Company Today.
CspecIal to the "News.nO

Sunnyside, Dec 10-The foreign ele-
ment here has decided that they need
the union more than they need work,
consequently at meeting of strikers
held on private ground they asserted
that they would stay out until the
union is recognized and not take ad-
vantage of the posted offer of the Utah
Fuel company inviting them to return
to work A few, however, of the
strikers have applied for work. Some
Of them were not accepted.
Two wagon loads OF men came in
from Emery county yesterday under
escort and others will follow within
a few days. They are for the most part
young farmers and very desirable
class Of men.
This morning 2l5 miners are at work.
Yesterday there were S22 tons OF coal
dumped from the tipple at the mouth
of the mine. The output is increasing
and the Rubicon has undoubtedly been
crossed Everything appears quiet on
the surface, but some claim that the
future does not look excessively bright.
Reports from the coal camps this
morning, state that the increase of out
put yesterday over that of the previous
day was 2O2 tons, and the total pro-
duct was 1900 tons. Ten additional
miners went to work today, at Winter
quarters. and at Sunnyslde rs men.
New men are steadily applying for
work. and the output is steadily in
Creasing.
The officials OF the Utah Fuel COM
pany are inclined to make merry at the
report of Representative Thai of the
Federation of Labor on the situation
at the coal fields They say that Mr..
Thai never visited Sunnyside, Winter
quarters or Clear Creek, that he made
no examination whatever of the com
pany's books, and the only correct
statement he made in all OF his report
was that the coal mines at Scotield are
closed, These mines belong to the
Union Pacific road. and have not been
operated for six years.
