Forecast of Such an Organization
Made at "A Meeting.
New York, Dec. 15.-The creation
of an international body, based upon
the National Civic Federation as it ex-
lists at present in this country, was
forecasted by Ralph M. Easley, chair
man of the Executive Committee. in
a report to the National Executive
Committee of the National Civic Fed

city to-day.
The meeting of the committee was
executive. and Samuel Gompers, pres
ident of the American Federation of
Labor. presided.
Andrew Carnegie was present.
Mr.. Easley in his report said the
movements for the organizat tion of
Civic Federation are making good
progress in England, France Germany
and Canada. He believed their sue
cess might logically lead to the crea-
ton of an international body to i'm
prove the condition of wage earners
and their relations with their employ.

throughout the world.
A letter from President Roosevelt
was read to the members of the fed
GRAFTON, which said:
Il am in hearty accord and SYM
pathy with the purposes of the Ma
tional Civic Federation, in its effort
for the establishment of more right
full relations between employers and
employees 1t is a movement so praise
worthy and so thoroughly American in
conception that it should. as a matter
of course, receive the earnest support
of all good, citizens who are awake. to

Views upon economic and sociologi-
cal problems often differ. There can
be, however, no division of opinion that
the highest aim of all should be to-

basis of mutual respect and friendship,
the relations between employers and
workmen."

Lundstrom Told the Committee
That He Had Been Married for
Eternity to "A Dead Woman-Rec-
Ords of the Temple.
Washington, Dec. 15.-August
Lundstrom was recalled for cross-ex-
animation when the Smoot investiga-
tion was resumed to-day before the
Senate Committee on Privileges and
Ele. .tions.
Attorney VanCott, for Senator
Smoot, asked. the witness if he had
ever considered the obligations taken
in the temple as a huge joke or in the
light of vaudeville performance.
L always regarded the oaths as sa-
crei," he saIi.
Then he declared that men cannot
pass through the temple to take en-
dowments for women.
M. Lun Istrom again gave the COM
mittee the oath of vengeance, or law
of retribution. The witness told the
committee also of the penalties Of
mutilation prescribed for revealing
the tokens or violating the covenants.
The whole congregation passing
through the temple repeated in the
first person the obligations and PEN
alties and executed the signs accom-
p; nying them.
He was asked if he ever married in
polygamy. , H.
only in a way" he replied.
Have you had plural wife?" -
Eyes, sir.''
Married to N Dead Woman.
Then he explained that dead wom-
an had been. sealed to him for eternity,
but that he had never lived with but
one wife.
John Nicholson, the chief recorder Of
the Mormon temple at Salt Lake, prov
ed the most reluctant witness OF all
the church officials who have been
brought before the committee. BY a
slow process the attorney for the
Protestants drew from him the fact
that he keeps the records of marriages,
baptisms and endowments which are
solemnized within the temple. He ex-
planned that the endowments are the
placing upon individuals blessings that
will be upon them in this life and in
all eternity.
Attorney Tayler questioned Mr..
Nicholson closely concerning the man.
ner of keeping the records, and if he
had access to all the records, but he
would not admit having authority over
them, nor that he knew who is in au-
thority.
The witness said he had brought
with him records of marriages per-
formed in the temple, but not the en-
dowment house records.
On cross-examination the witness
declared that no marriages had been
performed within the temple except
when the legal license had been issued
by the clerks of courts; that the mar
riages performed there had always
been for time and eternity, none for
time only.
Was Sealed to Both Wives.
Mr.. Lundstrom was recalled to the
stand and asked to explain his mar
riage to dead woman. He said this
ceremony is called sealing, and was
for time and eternity. He was also
sealed to his legal wife, he said, but
no record or memorandum was given
him.

THE REAL REASON.
Thomas w. Lawson's Motives l
 Writing Story of AmaIgamated.

Owing to the fact that thousands of peo- pie now reading "Frenzied Finance in Everybody's Magazine, did not see the July forward" in which MT. Lawson ex- plains his reasons for writing the articles, the publishers have reprinted in their de- partment, with the Publishers" in the December issue, the following paragraphs from the July number:
 My motives for writing Frenzied Fi- nance are manifold: I have unwittingly been made the instrument by which thousands upon thousands of investors have been plundered. I wish them to know my position as to the past that they may acquit me of intentional wrong doing as to the present that they may know I am using all my powers to right the wrongs that have been committed and as to the future that they may see how I propose to compel restitution.
 My desire in writing 'Frenzed Ff- nance while tinged perhaps with hatred for and revenge against the system as a whole and some of its votarles, is more truly pervaded with a strong conviction that the most effective way to educate the public to realize the evils of which such affairs as the Amalgamated are the direct result, is to expose before them the brutal facts as to the conception, birth, and nursery-breedlng of this the fore most of all unsavory offsprings of the system Thus they may learn that 1t is within their power to destroy the brood already in existence and render impos- sible the creation of their like"

AN IMPRESSIVE FEATURE
 OF UNWILLING CEREMONIES.

At the ceremonies attendant upon the unveiling of the Davis monument the past week, the most impressive and touching feature was the part taken in the exercises by Margaret Davis and Elizabeth Davis, the little daughters of the beloved physician. To their hands was entrusted the loosening of the cords holding in place the white veil about the monument, and standing on either side of the statue of their father they gave the needed touch of innocence and adoration that was alone sufficient to in- spire the artist or the poet.
 To those who were in close proximity to the monument the scene impressed itself indellibly and brought tears to many eyes.
 The Davis children" as they are called when being pointed out by the hundreds of people who know them by sight, are the most charming of children, and they are adored by every one who knows them. People are attached to them not alone because of their beauty but for their brightness as well. and they re- spond with the sweetness of childhood to much of the affectionate interest that is shown them by the friends of their lovely mother and their lamented father.
