TIE MORMON CHURCH
E. 3. CRITCHLOW CONTINUED HIS
TESTIMONY IN SMOoT CASE.
Tells of Power of officials of Church to
Compel Obedience of Its
Members.

E. 3. Critchlow,- former assistant United
States attorney for Utah. continued to
testify yesterday afteroon after The Stars
report of the proceedings in the case of
Senator Reed Smoot was closed.
He continued his history of the Mormon
Church, detailing incidents where the high
officials of the church have manifested their
power over the members. in order to COM
pei obedience in all matters. and where
accommodation has been the price of
an independent spirit.
Senator Beyeridge assisted in the cross
examination of the witness, and his at
tempts to prove certain evidence incom-
petent livened what otherwise would have
been the first dull day of the hearing.
Revelation as to Electric Light.
Mr. Critchlow testified as to a revelation
that had been received by President Kelley
of the electric lighting plant at Brigham
City, Utah, and also president of the stake.
He said that In this case the people of
Brigham City wished to establish a public
electric light plant, and whereupon Presi-
dent Kelley remarked that he had received
a revelation to the effect that it was the
Lords will that Brigham City should be
lighted by electricity. that the work should
be done by a private company and that he
President Kelley, should be the president
of the plant.
The witness was questioned rather closely
to the manner in which he acquired
this information, and he said that it was
common report. but that he had secured
it from the mayor of Brigham City as. in
his judgment, the person best informed to
give such Information.
Mr.. Critchlow also told of practically the
same method in preventing the Mormons
of Brigham City from using the public
dance hall there. In that case the Mormon
Church was reputed to own an interest in
competing opera house, and they did
not wish their members to patronize, the
dance hall that was owned by others who
were not in the church. There was no OBJ
lection to dancing such. An edict was
issued by the Mormon Church throwing
out of the church any persons continuing
to use that dance hall.
Smoot Not Polygamist.
Mr.. Critchlow was questioned in regard
to a former statement that Mr.. Smoot was
reputed to be not polymagist, and asked
If he could not state positively that Mr..
Smoot is not polygamist. He replied

Recalls Big Blizzard.

A dispatch from New York last night
says:
Sixteen years ago today was the great
blizzard of 1888. The last two days have
been almost exact counterparts of the two
days storms that were the precursors Of
the blizzard. Those who~ were In that bltz-
zard remember how the sun shone fitfully
for few hours, and that it was followed
by rain and snow and hail and sleet, with
little mist and fog thrown in to vary
the monotony. Then II settled down to snow
for three days, accompanied by howling
hurricane that demolished telephone and
telegraph wires, blew trains and cars from
the tracks, destroying lives and thousands
of dollars worth of property.
Evening star., 1904-03-12

that the question never had been raised
until after Mr.. Smoot's election to the
Senate. Then the suggestion was made
that President Smith would not allow a
person to have the Endorsement of the
church for senator unless that person sub
scribed to Mr.. Smiths religion. Mr..
Critchlow said he believed MIR. Smith
would not permit person to become an
apostle who is not polygamist or expected
to become one. Mr.. Smoot bee ame an
apostle before Mr.. Smith became president,
and the witness said that he does not be-
ieve Smoot to be polygamist.
The names of John r. Winder, President
Hatch and President Clough we:e read to
show that persons who are not poIyga mists
have attained high pos, ,tions in Mr. Smiths
reign as president. Mr.. Critchlow res pond
ed that they were exceptions because OF
their great popularity, and the fact that 1t
was we'll known their wives had greater
influence over them than the church Each
OF the men mentioned, he added, is said TO
nave an exceptional wife.

ward the Mormons, Mr. Van Cott brought
out In the cross-ex animation that Mr.
Critchiow had voted to elect polygamists
as members of the constitutional conyen-

To Open Subway With Pomp.

dispatch from New York says: One
of the biggest celebrations ever held in
this city. and certainly the most elabo-
rate since the triumphant return of Ad-
miral Dewey from the Philippines, is being
planned for the formal opening of the rapid
transit subway. which the officials in charge
are now confident can take place in June.
Already steps have been taken to secure
the presence of important national figures
to occupy places in the first regular train
to be sent through the tunnel
The idea at present is to have the first
train carry as passengers more distin-
guished men of the world than ever has
been carried by any other one train in the
history of railroad enterprise and to
have this train and the various stations
along the route elabora ely decorated

THE MOGUL EMPIRE
Wonderful Career of Timour
the Tartan.
SUCCESS AS SOLDIER
CONQUERED MORE NATIONS
THAN ANY OTHER MAN.
Greatest Warrior of His Time Before
He Was Thirty Years
of Age.
BY WILLIAM +. CURTIS.

spe.ial Correspondence Of The Evening Star and
Chicago Record Herald.
AGRA. India February 10. 1894.
To understand what is to be told in the
next few letters YOU must know something
about the mogul empire. which embraced
almost as much of India as is controlled by
the British today and extended westward
into Europe as far as Moscow and Constan-
tinople That empire was founded by
young warrior known as Timour the Tartar
called in historical works. He was a native
Samarkand. the capital of Bokhara, which
was known as Tartary in those days This
young man conquered more nations ruled
over wider territory an,4 larger number
of people submitted to his authority than
TO any other man W ho ever lived. before or
since His expansion policy was more sue
cessful than that of Alexander the Great or
Julius Caesar Charles or Napoleon
and he may properly be estimated as one of
the greatest. If not the very greatest, and
most successful soldier in all history. Yet
he was not born to throne He was a
self-made man. His father was a modest
merchant without wealth or fame. His
grandfather was a scholar of repute and
conspicuous as the first convert to Moham-
mechanism in the country in which he lived
Timour went INTO the army when he was
a mere boy. There were great doings in
those days, and he took active part in
them From the start he seems to have
been cast for a prominent role in the mill
tary dramas and tragedies being enacted
AIpon the worlds wide stage. He inherited
a love OF learning from his grandfather and
a love OF we'll as military genius
from some savage ancestor. He rose ra D.
idly Other men acknowledged his supe-
riority. and before he was thirty years old

dispatch from Albany, N. Y, last night
says: The recent experience of Rochester
and Baltimore with various styles and sizes
of fire hose couplings used by the fire. de-
partments of different cities is the basis of
the bill introduced today by Assemblyman
Moreland. requiring standard uniform hose
