 Against the Mormon.

Washington, Dec. 1.-The specific charge that MT. Shoot is a polygamist Is made before the Senate Committee on Privileges and Elections by John l.. Leil- ieh. The other charges are signed by eighteen citizens of Utah, of whom four teen are Republicans and four Democrats. A statement has been filed with, the Com mtttee giving the occupation and other facts concerning the signers: This state ment shows them to be men of standing. The charges are as follows:
 F1rst-The Mormon priesthood, accord ing to the doctrines of that church, Is vested with supreme authority in all things temporal and spiritual.
 Second-The first presidency and twelve apostles are supreme in the exercise and transmission of the mandates of this au- thority
 Third--As this body of men has not abandoned the principles and practice of political dictation, so also 1t has not abandoned belief in polygamy and polyg- amous cohabitation.
 Fourth-That this is the attitude of the first presidency and apostolate even since the suspensory manifesto of 1890, is evil dence by their teachings.
 Ftfth-This body of officials, of whom Senator-elect Smoot Is one, also practice or connive at and encourage the practice of polygamy and polygamous cohabita- tion and those whom they have permitted to hold legislative office have without pro- test or objection from them sought to pass 8 law nullifying enactments against polygamous cohabitation.
 During the meeting 1t was stated on be- half of Senator Shoot that he had em- ployed counsel and that John G. Car lisle would conduct the prosecution. There was considerable informal discussion of the case in the course of which Senator Hoar spoke of the charge that the Mor- mon Church had undertaken to dictate the course of political affairs and said that if true this way very serious matter. He urged careful inquiry on that point. The consensus of opinion was that if the investigation was entered upon it should be thorough.
 After the Committee adjourned Senator Burrows notified Senator Smoot in writ ing of the Committees action and for warded him a copy of the charges.
 The Utah Senator discussing the matter said that he would be glad to prepare a statement in denial of the charges affect ing his integrity as a Senator as soon as practicable and added that if necessary he would bring witnesses to substantiate his assertions.

LAWYERS WERE EASY.

 the AttornAvs

SAAO OA0Cy0s
 New York, Dec. H.-A prosperous look ing man giving the name of Gottman and bearing with him a touching tale of do- mestic infelicity, has found a profitable field for the accumulation of ready money among the shrewdest lawyers of the east side. These men of legal gift are said to have shown great willingness to part with sums ranging up to $50 in exchange for bad checks and refrained from mak- ing the tale public until some one told it on his partner as 8 joke.
 Then reports of Gottman's operations came from many leading law offices along Broadway, showing that the swindler had been acting for several weeks on the same plan.
 Gottman's scheme was to visit . law- yer and retain him in an action for di- vorce, after telling of his troubles at home. As a retainer he offered an ap- parentiy good check for $10O and asked for change. which was always forthcom- ing in cash. Gottman never came back. but the checks always did, and they were cancelled as being worthless by the bank.
 Gottman has not been apprehended He Is supposed to have secured q large, sum before the swindle was expossd

 T believe the day will come when the license of editors of our great daily pa- pers will have to be curtailed.
