Interest In Smoot Inquiry.

WASHINGTON, D. c.. March l.
During the next week or 50 the objec-
tive point Of public interest promises
to be shifted, in a large measure at
least, from the warfare in the far east
10 the smoot inquiry before the SEN
ate committee on elections and privi-
ieges. The date set for the opening
of the case has arrived and it is I'M
1erstccd the investigation will pro-
coed without delay.
All kinds of stories are afloat as to
the scope of the investigation and its
probable results. 1t is said to be the
intention Of the organization which
has been formed to oppose the seating
of Senator Smoot TO summon the
head OF the Mormon church and each
OF the twelve apostles. including the
senator. Whether this is true or not
II IS certain that the investigation will
be made to take the form of an indict-
ment against the entire Mormon peo-
pie, the purpose of the anti-SmoOt
forces being to focus public atten-
ton on the conditions alleged to exist
IN Utah at the present time.
Several photographs have been Sc
cured in which President Smith, the
head of the Mormon church, has been
pictured with a Wife, and the photo
graphs, it is alleged, show that they
are different women One of them is

tentiOn is made that it can be proved
that since Utah has been admitted as
state and the manifesto declaring
there would be no more plural mar
riages solemnized new wife has been
sealed to one of the twelve apostles.
Attorneys for Smoot allege that
they will be able to cOntrovert any
testimony which may be offered to
show that any new wives have been
sealed to any Mormon since the ad-
mission Of the territory as a state.
Senator Smoot will swear that he
has only one wife, and the apostles
who are blessed with several are ex-
pected to take oath that they have
lived with only one in recent years.

at that, Alaska has a greater popula-

At present the league is COMPOSED Of

While Ogden is anxious to take part

so that all of the these towns could

BY this arrangement there would be
an opportunity Of making a break in
