Dec. 1.-THE senate
Wv committee on privileges and cleo
tions met today to outline
policy to be pursued in investigating
the protests filed against Senator Reed
Smoot being permitted to retain his
seat and decided that before taking
further steps in the matter Senator
Smoot should be given opportunity to
make reply to the charges.
Senator Burrows, chairman OF the
committee, was instructed TO notify
MI Smoot of the decision of the COM
mittee and to request that whatever
reply he may desire to make shall be
in writing In addition TO the innu-
merable petitions filed with the COM
mittee for the expulsion Of Mr.. SmoOt,
two protests from citizens Of Utah
were presented and briefly considered
by the committee. These protests
charged Mr.. Smoot with being po-
lygamist. They also charge that the
Norman church, of which SmoCt is an
apostle. holds its own laws to be SUI
periOr TO those of the state. and they
contend that the church still stands
for pOlygamy. Neither Senator Smoot
nor his opponents were represented at
the meeting and for that reason mem
bers of the committee avoided taking
any action which would IN any man
ner show the sentiment of indiVidu-
ais.
Leilich Made Charges.
The specific charge that Mr.. Smoot l.
a pOlygamist is made by John II. Leilich.
The other charges are signed by eigh-
teen citizens Of Utah Of whom fourteen
are Republicans and four Democrats. A
statement has been filed with the COM
mittee giving the occupations and other
facts concerning the signers. This state
ing. Their charges are:
/. The Mormon priesthood, according 10
the doctrines Of that church, is vested
with supreme authority in all things

Q The first presidency and twelve apo--
ties are supreme in the exercise ana
transmission Of the mandates of this
authority.

dOned the principles and practice Of po-
htical dictatiOn. so also it has not aban-
dOned belief in polygamy and polyga

by their teachings.

- AsTLE GATE, Dec. 12.-Notices
signed by superintendent Grow
were posted here tonight announc-
ing the purpose of the Utah Fuel COM
parry to resume work at this camp on

made application for work prior to that
date would be employed by the COM

that no discrimination between union

that strikers who may apply for posi-
tions viii receive the same COnsidera-
tion as other applicants. The notices
were not posted until too late in the
day to ascertain how the strikers view
the action OF the company. but 10 is
believed that the announcement fol-
lowing the statements of strike leaders
at Helper last night. indicate that
peaceful settlement of the strike is
near. This. Of course. cannot be stated
positively. but there is strong evidence
that this view is correct
Ready to Go to Work.
The organizers Of the United Mine
Workers have expressed themselves as
anxious to have the men now ON strike
return to work with the understanding
that union men Will not be discriminat-
ed against. Leaders of the striking
miners are on record as entertaining
similar views. and as there Is nothing
iu the notices to show that the COM
pany is disposed to draw distinctions
between strikers and non-strikers, the
reason for the belief that a settlement
is near is plain. The belief may prove
erroneous. but the hope is freely eX-
pressed by men on both sides Of the
struggle that an adjustment VIII be
reached speedily.

Doctor Lederle. The strictest measures
must be taken to have the evil stopped
Phenacetine is an antipyretic which has
grown into such common use to relieve
headaches and neuralgia pains as to be al
most known as a household remedy. 1t is
sold by all druggists over the counter with
out a prescription. It's price varies accord
ing to the whim of the pharmacist. from 15
cents to 30 cents, for five to ten grain pow
ders. Its Wholesale price is 81 an ounce. 1t
is made in Germany. and one firm of impor-
tiers has the monopoly of the United States.
1t comes in sealed packages.
Some time ago, according to the health
authorities, 1t became necessary for the de-
partment to have some absolutely pure
phenacetine for experimental purposes. and
the department building. Analysis showed
this to be impure and adulterated, and 1t
was determined to investigate. A corps OF
had visited 373 stores. They were of all de-
grees, from some of the best known and
oldest established to those of the poorer
quarters. The powders were submitted to
Joseph A. Deghuee, chemist of the depart
ment.
"Of the powders supposed to be phenace-
tine given TO me" reports Mr.. Deghuee. II
find that ffty-eight of them are composed
Of the pure drug. Two. hundred and sixty
seven of them are mixtures of phenacetine
and acetanilid, two of phenacetine and SUI
gar, four phenacetine and starch. thirty-two
pure a~cetanilid. four acetanilid and cane su-
gar. one phenacetine and milk sugar, three
acetaniiid and starch, one antipyrine and
one quinine sulphate.'

menace to the life Of persons with abnormal
heart action. when taken IN the five or ten
grain doses. which Is the usual quantity OF
pfienacetine. -
.Phenacetine is a household remedy for
headaches and 1t IS an outrage, l repeat. for
the public to be thus defrauded by unscru-
pulous druggists. The prices paid by the
inspectors for three ~ten-grain powder of
phenacetine varied between Is and 30 cents.
maxim. q fair average of 20 cents. If pure
phenacutine Is sold at this rate. an ounce
costa 81 is sold for $3.50, making a profit
OF nr.!e than 200 per cent. Such a profit,
however. does not appear to be sufficient.
Acetanilid. costing about ~ cents an ounce.
Is substituted and sold at the same price as
pure phenacetine.''
Druggists are greatly surprised at the
Commissioners revelation. and some of the
men mentioned in the list declared them
selves entirely g~uiltless of any dishonest
practice.
