A witness who told Perry S. Heath.

cerning President Smith ard other high

after President Smith. on the witness
stand here. had declared that he had
not performed marriage ceremony for
a plural marriage between Abraham NJ
Cannon and Lillian Hamlin Cannon
since the manifesto of 1880 forbiding
such ceremonies. 1t was alleged that
such a ceremony had taken place on

fornia. in 1886.
Once Contradicted Smith.
When President Smiths denial reached
Salt Lake. it was characterized as un-
true by the witness of today, Cannon,

others. according to his testimony at
the Capitol today. He did not want TO
! come 10 Washington 10 testify, how
ever, and said he would tell what ne

Reasons for the Move.


ised TO hand in his decision within a
short time
Reasons for the Move.
. The reason why the President and Ad-
ministration leaders demand the nomi-
nation Of Mr.. Cannon is patent 10 those
who know the inside of the situation in
Illinois. Notwithstanding the fact that
the Republicans carried that State four
years ago by $4,000, there are grave fears
entertained that it may be lost tc
them this year. unless heroic measures
are adopted. Not only are the Demo
Gratis gaining in strength, but the Re.
publicans are split over the nomina-
tiOn for governor. They realize that II
Governor Yates is renomlnated, the
Democrats Will have an excellent chance
Of carrying the State, and they fear
that he may also drag the national
ticket down TO defeat with him.
In case Yates is not nominated, the
State administration will be against the
ticket which Is named. so that in either
event there is trouble ahead for the
Republicans. The President and his ad-
ViSers feel that Uncle joe is the only
man who can reconcile the warning fac
tiOns and save the State, even If the
gubernatorial candidate should lose as a
result of the Yates and anu-Yates agi-
NdA4Oll. II mas Dteh an open secret lOf
the past two or three months that the
Republicans are in deep water in the
Prairie State. and now the time has
come when something must be done Il
prevent inundation.
Distasteful to Cannon.
1t has been pointed out TO Mr.. Cannon
who has always persistently fought the
Senate in its encroachments upon the
House, that he now has had his ambi-
tion to be Speaker gratihed, and hC
should give up his position tor the good
of the party and become reconciled &c
the Vice Presidency. II is all very dis
tasteful TO Mr. Cannon, but the Repub.
lican leaders believe that he will not
let his desire TO remain Speaker stanC
in the way of party success nationally
then, too. IL is secretly suggested thai
perhaps the Republicans might lose tn,
House.
II is admitted on all sides that Mr.
Cannon is today one of the most popular
men in public life, and his name woul,
no doubt add thousands of votes to tn,
! ticket. And then in the event that any
thing unforeseen should happen 10 tn,
/ President, in case Of the election of Mr.
! Roosevelt. his successor would not b,
another Roosevelt, and this is one rea
son why many a Republican wants I,
/ see Uncle joe nominated. All admi
| that ne would be a great vote getteT anC

reason why they want him even agains

WALKS OUT OF JAIL
St. Paul Youth Escapes From
Minneapolis Police Station.

S. D. O.Connell, ST. Paul youth who
had been locked up in the South Side
police station, Minneapolis, on a charge
of forgery, made his escape at 9 o'clock
yesterday morning and has not been seen
since. The manner of his fitting was
somewhat peculiar.
O'Connell didn't break jail He merely
opened the door of his cell, walked out
side, where he found a bicycle standing
against the station wall mounted the
wheel and rode away. 1t is not of record
that he is professional cyclist, but he
certainly violated the anti-scorching or
dinanee and was several blocks away be-
fore his departure was discovered.
The man who placed O'Connen in the
cell Is responsible for his escape.> The cell
doors at the South Side station are lock-
ed by padlocks, and when the jailer at
tempted to lock O'Connell in he carelessly
passed the lock through the staple, but
neglected to place the hasp In position, SO
that the door was not locked at all. The
st. Paul youth noticed the omission and
proceeded to walk out the first minute he
was unobserved
Beyond the fact that the charge against
O'ConneH was forgery the police will give
no information. He is said, however, to
have passed several forged checks for
small amounts on South side business
men.

MINNESOTA IRON
MINES CLOSED
Towns in ST. Louis County
Fear Disastrous BUSH
ness Depression.

Special to The Globe
/ DULUTH, Mimi, May 8.-With all five
mines closed at Ely on the Vermillion
range, and the Mesaba mines operating
with greatly reduced forces, some of them
being entirely idle, range towns are taking
an exceedingly gloomy view of the situa-
ton. 1t Is anticipated that unless some
tnlng IS done within a short time the in
activity will have marked effect on the
business interests of northern st. Louis
county, and that eventually it will make
itself felt in Duluth
factor which has made the situation
even more complicated arises from the
announcement, made last night, that all
negotiations looking toward settlement
between the Masters and Pilots associa-
ton and the vesselmen had been declared
off, and that in all probability there would
be prolonged struggle before an adj
juStment could be reached. This difficulty
arising at a time when navigation of the
great lakes is about to open, is regarded
as doubly unfortunate.
The operation of the Minnesota, mines
will depend now solely on the lake carry
ing trade. Most of the ore-producing
properties, which are. underground propo-
sitionS, have exhausted their stock pile
capacity and they are compelled to re-
main idle until they can clear off some
of their surplus stock. The open pit
mines employ steam shovels and load di-
rect to the cars. These can be worked
only during the lake shipping season.
1t is possible that issues between the
vesselmen and their former employees may
be forced within a few days. Some of the
lumbermen have advertised for men to
load boats on Tuesday, and there is now a
fight on with the lumber showers In the
event trouble occurs in that quarter it
may precipitate- a conflict in other allied
interests of lake shipping.
