' u As EDUCATORS D
HIGH PRAISE IS GIVEN THEIR

Judge Powers Continues Testimony
Before Senate Committee-Story
of Apostle Grant.

washington, April Z0.-JuQge y. w,
Powers was on the stand again at the
opening of the Smoot investigation be-
fore the senate committee on privileges
and elections Monday and Attorney Van
Colt resumed cross-examination. He
questioned the witness in regard to Nor
mon interest In educational affairs.
Judge Powers praised the people high
ly for their application to trades, profess
sions, art and the sciences.
Mining schools and other scientific
institutions were praised by the wit
ness, who said that Mormon schools
easily rank with the best institutions of
learning in the country.
In regard to the disinclination of Nor
mons to inform on polygamists, Judge
Powers said that no person likes to be
called or considered an informer. Ref
erence was made to the attitude of DEM
ocrats who were gentiles in nominat-
ing Brigham H. Roberts, a Mormon, for
congress.
"Well," said Mr.. Powers, 1--WE thought
Roberts was going to be the Moses who
would lead us out of our political difh-
culties. We thought he would take us

much of the educational policy in Utah,
he said the admirable system was in
augurated before statehood. In answer
to a question by Senator Bailey the wit
ness said he understood that in some
sections the public schools were dis
missed early for religious instruction.
The Mormons found much to complain
of in regard to that, said the witness.
Chairman Burrows ascertained from
the witness that he knew Apostle Heber
J. Grant, who is now in Germany at
tending an international kindergarten
convention, and asked:
Apostle Grant is a great educator, is
he not?'
I'm some lines," said the witness,
laughingly. He then detailed speech
before Utah university made by Grant,
at which, he contributed $3.50 for the
school. According to the witness Grant
said $50 was for himself and $50 for each

only sorry that the law would not per-

Chairman Burrows desired to ascer-

has been issued for him, but he has not
been reached.
rs there any special reason why
Grant left so SUDDENLY" asked the
chairman.

issued for him and he went to Ger

Mr.. Van Colt asked Judge Powers il
it was not we'll known that Grant was
going to Germany before the warrant
was issued. '35''~,, .,'- . ~, "o
"Oh, yes" was the answer. Il do not

GUS END.
OUTSIDE INTERFERENCE
WILL NOT BE TOLERATED
Authoritative Report from St. Peters,
burg Declares Efforts Of Kings Ed
ward and Christian Have Failed
Jap Ship Sunk.

st. Petersburg, April 26-It is an
nounced authoritatively that the talk OF
mediation in the Russo-Japanese war
was founded upon the personal desires
of King Edward and King Christian of
Denmark to avoid further bloodshed
and end the conflict, but that the steps
initiated have utterly failed. The en-
peror, with the full concurrence of the
imperial family and his advisers, has
firmly decided not only to reject all pro-
posals looking to Intervention, but to
prosecute the war with all the resources
Of the empire until victory crowns the
Russian arms, and then when the time
comes for peace to make terms directly
with the enemy. The interference of
outside powers will not be tolerated.
There is to be no repetition of the Ber-
lin congress.
Furthermore it is stated that Russia
will in no wise consider herself bound
by the propositions made to Japan prior
to the war. The hostiuties have wiped
out the engagements Russia offered to
make with Japan regarding Korea and
Manchuria. Russia will consider her
self free to impose. such terms as she
desires.
Russians Sink Jap Ship.
Toxic, April 26.-The Russian Vladi-
vostok squadron, after a long period of
inactivity, suddenly appeared off Cen
san, on the east coast of Korea Monday
morning, and sank the Goyo Maru, a
Japanese merchant steamer of 600 tons.
A brief telegram received from Gensan
said three Russian cruisers had entered
the harbor and that they were still there
when the telegram was sent. Their ar
rival created CONSERVATION in the I'M
protected Japanese colony at Gensan.
It is thought here in Toxic that this
Russian naval movement was made in
the hope of intercepting some unpro-
tected Japanese troop ships. 1t is not
believed that the squadron will remain
1t Gensan long.
