"Have any Of these men taken plu-

asked Beveridge. Il repeat" said
Smith, bringing his hand down on the
table with some emphasis, THAT since
the manifesto Of 1890 no man has en-
tered into plural marriage with the
knowledge or approval Of the church"
when your deacons are e u out
and make conversions In other lands
do they not present the rightfulness
Of polygamy as a religious virtue?'
This question was put by Hoar and
was answered in the negative. They
never discuss polygamy," Smith said.
unless compelled to do so to meet at
tacks. They do not advocate polygamy
in any way. Indeed, the elders are
instructed not to advocate plural mar
at all; it is a thing of the past"
Inquiry having been made by sever
al members Of the committee as to
what Tayler expected to prove by GER
tain questioning the latter said: Il ex-
pected to prove that Mr.. SmoOt could
not by any possibility put himself up
against his associates in his actions,
not even in his vote as United States
SENATOR" Tayler said Smoot would
be bound to follow the direction Of
the church not only in spiritual af-
fairs, but also in temporal things, be-
cause under the definitions Of the
church it is impossible to distinguish
between the two.
Smith said hat If Smoot had insisted
on running for office without the con
sent of his associates he would not
have lost his official position, but would
have been out Of harmony with 1.-THE
twelve" In answer to questions by
Chairman burrows he declared he had
performed no polygamous marriages
since 1890 anywhere on earth. Dubois
asked If any Of the apostles had per-
formed such a service and Smith said
If they had they would have been fined
and imprisoned if found guilty, and if
the charge could be proved the Of

As TO CONFLICTING LAWS

Church in such Cases.

smith Would Probably Obey Those of the
Church in such Cases.
Smith testified that the law making
polygamous coh%abitation a crime was
passed by the Utah territorial legisla-
ture, which was overwhelmingly CON-
posed of Mormons. Reference was
made to the Evans bill which passed
the Utah senate March s, 1901, and a
few days later the house. This bill
provided that no prosecutions for
~polygamouS cO~habitation should be in
stituted except ON complaint of hus-
band or wife. The bill was vetoed by
Governor Wells.
Smith had said he was in favor Of
the bill and was asked why. We'll, 1t
was rather a personal matter with me.
l was one of those unfortunately
othcrwise-men who had a numerous
family, and we were made the prey of
a prying individual who was con.
%tinuously spying into our marital rela-
tons. l thought that If such a law

self as well as a relief to those in a
similar position, and put an end to this
continual 'spotting' Of our private af-
fairs. 1 spoke to a few friends about
the bill, but to none of the members
of the legislature"
HOar asked what Smith would do
if the revelations conficted with the
law. (which would you obey?" he
asked. with me, perhaps, the revela-
ton would be uppermost," said Smith.
Can you say perhaps to such a
question? 2" interrupted Hoar, severely
continuing, he asked: Suppose you
received a revelation commanding your
people to do something which would
conflict with the law of the land,
Which would they have to obey?"
Whichever they pleased, was the
reply. There is no compulsion."
Then he read from one of the stand
ards of authority: Let no man break
the law of the land, for he that keepeth
the law of the land" Smith, in an
swer to Senator Beveridge, said that
under the discipline that had been
maintained for the last twenty years
the people in the Mormon church
obey the laws rather than any revela'
ion which might be in conflict.
(which would you do?" asked Bur
rows. Il would would strive with al
my might to obey the laws of the
land,' said Smith, and he added: But
l should not like to be put into a po
sition where l would be compelled te
abandon my children. I could not az
that"
This closed the interesting part OF
the examination.

Hoar said it is stated that there is a

"Well, we don't construe it that way

amid laughter. "What 1 wanted to get

Smith. IL believe that 1t was COM

Tayler next had a batch OF doctrines
from Mormon books put int, the rec
ord, and said he expected to show that
plural marriages had been solemnized
since 1890, and that Smoot must have
had knowledge of the fact. He read
more quotations from Mormon books
to show that Smo0t must necessarily
be, as a senator. a tool of the Mormon
hierarchy, and then turned Smith over
to the defense, and Worthsngton took

Foraker wanted to know when,
where and how was the injunction in
favor of polygamy received by the
church. What l want to know is wheth-
er the practice is arbitrary or mere
ly permissive." Smith said the reveal
ton was made to Joseph Smith, Jr., at
NauvoO, in 1913, as to how MIR.
Smith called for a copy of the book Of
doctrine and covenants and read a part
of the revelation to show that if one
wanted to espOuse a second virgin he
could do so by obtaining the consent
of the first, but hat if the consent
of the rfst "a withheld he was at
ibe' :, to proceed without il.
1t is set forth also that where the
first refuses consent to share her hus-
band with another woman she would
be destroyed" which he said was not
meant in the sense that the husband
could destroy" her, but the Lord. He
admitted that thepoint'about the wife's
consent might just as well be elm

not mandatory, but permissive. Over

regard to the latter has been obeyed.

AT that point Foraker and Beveridge

Washington. March ). = Interest in

Smoot, of Utah, is undated. Presi-
dent Joseph f. Snith again was ON
the stand. Hoar desired information
on the subject of the rights of wom-
en- in the church and whether they
hold any priestly authority. Smith said
the women are regarded as the equals
Of the men in all matters of voting,
but that in holding ''priestly authoIi-
ty" women are not regarded on the
same plane.
Plural Marriage Declared Divine.
Reading from The Desert News Of
June %, 1903, regarding a speech by
Smith at the Weber state reunion, be-
fore prominent Mormons, Tayler asked
Smith if he was correctly reported in
saying that the doctrine of plural mar
riages was a revelation by God to Jo-
seph Smith. Jr., and that to reject
that would be equivalent to a rejection
of God himself. Smith said he believed
he was correctly reported. He did not
consider the meeting a public one, and
said he had refrained from teaching
polygamy in public.
Just TO Get History Right.
Hoar called attention to the fact that
the speech was teaching polygamy
in private to the important and influ-
entail gathering at the reunion, includ-
ing SmOot. Smith said his statement
was merely to set right a matter of
history in regard to the president who
inaugurated the system of plural mar
riages. Some persons held that Brig
ham Young was the first" he said,
and l knew it was Joseph Smith, and
l brought forward my aunt, Bethsheba

dowment from Joseph Smith at Maui
