If William Winsor can be found he
will fall heir to one-third of an estate
of 100 acres in Garden Springs, valued
at $4,000, left to him by his father,
Joseph Winsor.
Attorney John B. Minor who has the
matter in charge is unable to find tho
man. Winsor left this city 20 years
ago and all of the efforts of the attor-
ney to find him have been unavailine.
He has not given up hope Of ultimately
finding the man, and has addressed
letters to all of the mans known rela-
tives and to prominent men in all Of
the large cities where he thinks there
10 possibility of finding him.

SMITH RECALLED

ed revelations since he became presi-
dent, Smith said no. A man could
not receive revelations at will, but
that he had the impression Of the
spirit upon his mind many times.
Senator Hoar asked how he recon-
ciled his statement that officers Of
the church would not perform plural
marriages with the fact that some
Of these officers are still living with
plural wives.
We've felt not only that public
opinion, but general conditions in
Utah, more or less would justly pur-
suing the course we did In regard to
plural marriages, and don't believe
any Of our officers would violate that
sacrament" said Smith. -.

WASHINGTON, March 9.-Presi-

stand again this morning and ques-
toned about an interview in the Des-
eret News Of December 8, 1902, in
which he was quoted as advocating
the election Of Reed Smoot to the
senate. He admitted the accuracy Of
the report He was examined as to
Benjamin Clough, Jr., president of
the faculty of the Brigham Young
academy. He admitted that Clough
was a polygamist, but said he did not
know his wives. Smoot is a trustee
of the academy When asked as to
whether he had seen the statements
published that Abraham Cannon had
married Lillian Hamlin as late as
1896, Smith said he had paid no at
tention to that charge, because 1t had
come from newspaper viciously bit
ter toward the church.
From the same source he had seen
a statement that Cannon claimed that
he was entitled to take Lillian Ham,
lin as plural wife because she was
betrothed to his dead brother. He
had seen a statement printed that
Apostle George Teasdale took a
plural wife since 1890. AS head Of
the church he had not felt called on
to investigate. 1t was the duty OF
the bishops, he said, to investigate
the moral character Of the official
members Of the church.
Senator Dubois asked whether LII.
