NO RACE SUICIDE IN UTAH.

FACTS which have been brought out
in the Senator Reed Smoot investigation
case at Washington show that Utah
easily leads the nation in the matter of
large families. The president may be
assured there is one locality in the
United States where his charge of race
suicide does not apply. For instance
there was present, Joseph F. Smith,
head of the Mormon church, who re-
joices as the father of forty five children.
Another interesting witness was NJ. w.
Merrill, one of the twelve apostles.
This gentleman is husband to eight
wives. His offsprings number forty five
of more: he is the proud grandfather of
no less than $50 girls and boys. These
two are merely typical of large num-
Der. Included in the list summoned as
witnesses were half dozen Mormon
chiefs with an aggregate of twenty-cne
wives and $50 children. As the spiritual
and temporal head of a religious organi-
cation numbering half million souls,
President Joseph F. Smith is the most
interesting of all who gave testimony in
the Smoot inquiry. President Smith is
now quite an old man, with wonder
fully long grey beard; but mentally and
physically he is in the prime of life.
Apostle Merrill, who has eight wives, is
in charge of the temple at Logan. This
'sfather in Israel is credited by the
Latter Day Saints biographical die
tionary, issued four years ago, with be-
ing the father of forty-five children
Since that book was issued at least
three other children have been born to
him. Twenty-six of Apostle Merrill's
children are married, and he is the
grandfather of 15O. At least three Of
his sons are known to have two or more
wives each.

in the famous Northern Securities Co.,
merger case, the same being in favor of
the government and against the merger,
claiming that the later was not in the

BUDD REEVE of Buxton who has Just
returned to the state after trip cover
ing several weeks through the middle
states says that in his opinion there will
be greater demand this year than ever
for lands for actual use. He expects
some falling off in the purely speculative
demand, but North Dakota looks big to
the people who are paying large rents
for land, and they don't see why they
should not own their farms themselves.

A DECISION Of Judge Martin Of Phil
adelphia is attracting much attention.
1t seems probabl il it applies to the
prohibition law in North Dakota, and
will not do SO until it is made INSIDE
meanor to buy as we'll as to sell intoxi-
eating liquor. The Boston Herald
comments on this decision as follows:
Judge Martin, of the court of quarter
sessions, of Philadelphia, has lately
given decision on appeal which is of
consequence to the public, and especl-
ally to the agents of all organizations
which are engaged in spying upon viola
tions of the law. The case was one in
which an agent for Sunday closing as
ISOLATION made purchase of cigar and
then used the act in testimony against
the vendor as violator of the statute
on the subject. The Judge held, first
that the Sunday legislation was intended
to enjoin the observance of the seventh
day as religious duty; second, that al
worldly employment was by these laws
strictly forbidden, necessary work ex.
copied; third, that buying, as we'll as
selling, is prohibited: and, fourth. that
buying by an informer to obtain evid
ence is worldly employment, not 9
work of necessity.
This proceeds upon the broad doctrine
that there are two parties to bargain
and sale, the vendor and the buyer, and
that they have exactly the same rela
tons to the law regulating such trans
actions. The buying and the selling
constitute single transaction, and
both parties are equal participants
therein. Hence, it is held that buyer

The Denver Republican, or
rather Bill Stapleton, charges
gross frauds in the last cleo
ton throughout the state. This
is a lie in consonance with the
multitude of lies told by that
sheet during the entire time of
the campaign. 1t prates of in
decency in the News, but be-
side the Republican the News
is purity itself Unquestion-
ably and it is the general con-
census of opinion throughout
the state, the Republican has
been mendacious in every state
ment made. 1t had no regard
for the truth and its villifica-
ton and untruths told of Gov.
Adams should bring down upon
it the contempt of the public,
who have any regard for the
right. There has been no fraud
practiced throughout the state.
The Republican lies when it
speaks generally of the state
at large. There may have been
frauds practiced in LasAnimas
county and Huerfano by the
Republicans, but aside from
these two counties the election
was carried on decently through
out the state and the Repub-
lican knows it lied when it
made such statements as it
did.

ATTORNEYS ARRESTED
ON THE INDICTMENTS
Willis Brewer, Jr., and George P.
Howell Matter-The Helm
Case Was Dismissed.

Willis Brewer Jr., and George f. How.
ell two young attorneys, were arrested
yesterday on indictments returned
against them by the grand jury charg
ing perjury. Bond in the sum of $500 was
fixed in each case.
The arrest Of these two young men
grows out of the testimony offered by
them at the preliminary trial, of Roland
T. Shugart before Judge IL. b. Aber-
nathy. They testified in behalf of the
defendant and were shortly afterwards
arrested at the instance of Solicitor Hef-
lin, but were afterwards released by
Judge l. II. Benners, for want of prose-
cutting witnesses.
The trial of Solicitor Heflin yesterday
before Judge Alternately on the charge
of subordination of perjury resulted in
the case being dismissed 1t was called
yesterday before Judge Alternately but on
account of no witnesses being pres
ent to prosecute the solicitor, the
case went off the trial docket Several
days ago the solicitor and his brother
j. Thomas Helm were arrested on war
rants sworn out before Judge Alternately
by Willis Brewer, Jr.
AT the trial Brewer refused to fur
nish the names of any of his witnesses
He stated to the court that he had nance
of witnesses who were to be summoned
but would not say who they were. 1t
was for that reason that the case was
dismissed

CHEF MULLIN THINKS
1T WAS SET ON FIRE
Says Burning of Temerson Bros Store
Seemed to Have Been Work
of Incendiary

Chief Mullin believes that the store of
the Temerson Brothers at zoos Second ave-
nue., which was badly damaged by fire
Thursday night, was set on fire by some
one who desired to burn it down.
The chief says he has no idea who set
the place on fire, but that from the ap-
pearance of the fire when he arrived, and
the rapidity with which it burned, there
can be no doubt that it was started by
an incendiary, and that he made a good
job of 1t.
In speaking of the fire he said:
I believe some one arranged things and
set the place on fire. | was at the fire
in a minute after it was discovered, and
the Games had spread over the entire
place, and were even licking their way
around the awning on the front door. The
fire started in the rear of the building,
and 1t must have had a big start before
IL was discovered. ! do not think the
loss could have been over $4,000, although
everything in the store was ruined.
