]. G. Houghton, the building inspector,
had made an inspection of the standing
walls, but had given no orders concerning
them. he had ordered the demolition of
other walls that seemed to threaten to
tall. Guests at the hotels had been
afraid because of the proximity of the
wall and had moved elsewhere, but as
nearly week had passed and the wall
stood apparently firm they had come
back. The terrific northwest gale was

laws with reference to polygamy was
given by two members of the faculty
OF Brigham Young University.
j. H. Wallis, of Salt Lake City, was
the witness who revealed the bloody
nature of the oaths exacted in the en-
dowment house. He considered him
self absolved from bis oaths of Sc
crecy, as he said he had given notice
to his bishop several months ago that
he would not continue as a member Of
the church. These oaths, which all
who took part in the ceremonies
agreed not to reveal under penalty of
mutilation, We're given by Mr.. Wallis
as follows:
That the throat be cut from ear to
ear and the tongue be torn Off
That the breast be cut asunder and
the heart and vitals be torn from the
body.
That the body be cut asunder at the
middle and the bowels cut out.
That if demanded we will give all
we possess to the support of the
church.
Questioning by counsel and Senators
brought out the admission that he had
never taken the oaths seriously, but
had considered them as something OF
a joke, and he thought many others
had considered them the same way.
George H Bremhall, president of
Brigham Young University, testified
that he had two wives, married before
1890. Senator SmOot, who is a men,
Der of the university board, frequently
addressed the students. he said, and
always urged them to obey the law.
Josiah Hickman, a teacher in the
university, testified that for ten years
he had lived with two wives. The wit
ness said he went through the temple
with his second wife two or three
years ago, and they were sealed, but
no legal marriage had taken place. He
said he had taken no steps to conform
to the law in relation to marriages.
"Than, as you understand it, you
are not legally married to your pres
ent wife? asked Mr.. Taylor.
mo, sir; not so far" He explained
that he had been "a little negligent"
but that he and his wife had decided
that they should be married.
Arthur Morning, a teacher in the
public schools of Utah, said he had
been called on to conduct religious
classes in his school. He read letters
from his superiors instructing him how
to outline the Mormon class work.
Mr.. Taylor, for the Protestants, said
this testimony was to prove that the
Mormon church was teaching its re-
Hgion at public expense. Morning said
the lessons were composed largely of
biographies Of polygamists.

The most effective cure for strikes
and lockouts is trade agreement pre-
viding for arbnration,'' declared andrew
Carnegie in an address that Ralph NJ
Easley read for him at a meeting of the
National Civic federation held in New
York City.
we should always remember with
satisfaction that peace reigns in six-sev-
enths of the industrial world" said Mr.
Carnegie. There are only 100000 out
of 100000 engaged in gainful pur-
suits, in mechanical and manufacturing
occupations. Now we hear nothing of
war in the agricultural branch, which Of
itself has more than 100000 of work
ers. In domestic service, comprising
100000, all is peace; perhaps in this
department the relations of employer and
employed are most satisfactory of ALL
These facts lead us to the cause of
much of the tension and strife found in
the manufacturing and mechanical de,
partments. 1t rests just here: The former
bring in the personal equation, and into
the latter nowadays that scarcely enters.
