WHOLE MATTER
Is EXPLAINED
Senator McLaurin Expiodes a
Newspaper Story.
HOUSE APPOINTS COMMITTEE
SALT LAKE MADE A PORT OF
DELIVERY.

Washington. March 12-In the senate
today Mr.. McLaurin OF Mississippi took
the floor 10 make a personal explana-
ton regarding a newspaper paragraph,
saying that authorities of Indianola,
Miss. are engaged in arresting people
for selling photographs of President
Roosevelt and Booker T. Washington.
Ordinarily. said Mr.. McLaurin, a story
OF this character may not be worth at
tention, but under the circumstances
he felt that he should refer TO it for the
purpose of refuting IT. as il is entirely
without foundation. Mr.. McLaurin said
that the paragraph had grown out of a
statement made in a newspaper letter
written by A. j. Paxton, an attorney of
Leland, Miss, who told of the arrest
at that point of three men who he said
We're engaged in selling pictures of the
president and MIR. Washington seated
at the table together. and also pictures
Of obscene character. These pictures,
he said. appealed strongly TO race pre-
judice.
Similar arrests also, Mr.. MeLaurin
said, had been made in Indianola, and 1t
was found upon the hearing of the cases
that a Cincinnati concern engaged in
publishing the pictures in question had
many agents out in the interest of these
works.
For Selling Lewd Pictures.
The men were tried and some of them
sent out of the country, and Mr.. Nc
Laurin expressed surprise that any
community should have permitted them
to be tried. He said the penalty i'm
posed by the law was entirely too small.
and expressed the opinion that the
death penalty would not be too severe.
He added that the arrests were not be-
cause the men We're selling photographs
of the president or of Mr.. Washington,
but because they were selling lewd pic
lures.
The following bills were passed:
Providing for the establishment of a
light and fog signal station at the en-
trance OF Bellingham bay, Washington.
Authorizing the secretary of war to ac-
cept from the citizens Of Nissoula,
Mont, lands for the enlargement of the
military reservation at that point.
Authorizing the erection of a federal
building al Sherman, Wyo., at a cost OF
$3.50, 900.
The bill making appropriation for for
| tifcations was then taken I'D.
All the committee amendments except
| one,' for the purchase of a submarine
| torpedo boat for experimental purposes
and that relating to the purchase of
sites for defense in the Hawaiian
islands, were accepted. The further
consideration OF these amendments was
postponed until Monday.
The senate then went into executive
session and shortly afterward adj
! journed.

Omcial Statement.

In the way Of general comment,
Chairman E. H. Gary and President w.
L. Corey say:
During the year general trade cOndi-
tions materially changed and the BUSH
ness OF the subsidiary companies. in
common with the business of all others,
suffered by reason of the falling off in
orders. So soon as it became evident
to the directors that there was likely to
be a large diminution in the net profits
TO be realized by way of dividends from
subsidiary companies il was deemed
wise and prudent TO reduce the divi-
dends on the common stock of this cor
pOration. and Iater for-the same reason
TO suspend payment Of dividends On this
stock. In the determination Of these
questions the directors gave careful
consideration to all the facts and cir
cumstances bearing upon the subject,
and due regard to the relative rights
and claims Of all who are interested in
the continuous and permanent success
of the corporation and the advance
ment Of It's business.
con Dec. 81, 1903, the tonnage of I'M
filed orders on the books was 3.215, 123
tons of all kinds of manufactured prod
ucts. in comparison with a tonnage of
5.S47, 25S at the corresponding date in
the previous year"

for the naynent Of the transfer Of
the postoffice. The bids for the re-
mOvai came through the former post
master, Mr.. Hahn. Mr.. Dietrich en-
deavored at this time TO bring out
from the witness that IL there was

gested that this was wholly a matter

until this afternoon.
William II DuttOn of Hastings relat-
ed how the arrangement with the c.. 4.
II. post had been made by which it
was agreed that Dietrich should pay
the post $500 for the fixtures. The con-
tract was entered into while Dietrich
was governor and before his election as
senator.
Dietrich had told him few days
after his election as governor that he
intended TO recommend Fisher as post
master. it being generally understood
that the governors accommodation
would be accepted.
The Furniture Deal.
The witness closed the deal between
Dietrich and the G. A. X. post regard
ing the fixtures and furniture for $500.
He then told of n conversation had
with senator Dietrich regarding the
renting Of his building for pOstoffice
purposes. the senator insisting that he
could not get rent enough for his build
ing from the government. The senator
at that time told Dutton that he
thought Fisher should take the fixtures
off his hands. but denied that he was
commissioned TO make any proposition
10 Fisher, and there was no money con-
sideration mentioned for the fixtures.
Dietrich told me he would recommend
Fisher for postmaster a week after his
election as governor" said Dutton.
Charles Emory Smith, then postmaster
general, while IN Hastings in the au-
tumn of 1900, had recommended that the
postofiice be changed and better quar-
tiers secured.

Hiles Stood His Ground.

Mr.. Van Colt attempted to take Judge
Hiles 70 task for his statement that Raw
Inns was q Mormon, and asked II, as n
matter of fact, his entire testimony was
not Just as reliable as his statement in
regard to Rawlins. The witness stood his
ground in regard to Rawlins and said thar
he knew what he was talking about. and
that with the qualifications he had made
Rawlins was n Mormon He added with
emphasis that there were no qualifica-
tons in regard to the remainder of his
testimony
The witness said his basis for believing
that pOlygamy was more fragrant since
Utah was admitted as a state was that
more polygamOus children were being
born and that pOlygamists drove through
the streets more openly than before.

Rawlins and the Church.


Mr.. Van Colt asked the witness how he
accounted, in view OF the testimony he
had given. for the MOrmOns sending nom
MormOnS TO the senate How about Jo-
seph l. Rawlins?" he asked. He is not
d Mormon"
Joseph L. Rawlins? Oh. yes. he is a
Mormon
What! RawIins a Mormon
'tIe was born into the church Of Nor
mon parentage.''
But surely you do not mean 10 say
that because a man is born OF Mormon
parentage he is always a Mormon
Pretty close TO it.
Mr. Van Colt mentioned the fact that
former Senator HaWlins stood out against
the church in regard to its principles. and
worked against il. Judge Hiles corrected
the statement by saying certain princi-
pies. and then said that with the quail
fication he had made he regarded Raw
Inns as a Mormon. Continuing, he said
he had heard President Joseph +. Smith
say that he considered Frank j. Cannon
a poor Mormon. but witness thought Can
non "a good Mormon" and while ii may
be said that RaWlins was not a good
Mormon" nevertheless he was q Mormon.
Judge Hiles said that both Cannon and
RaWlinS stood out against interference by
the church in politics. He declared that
Mr.. Rawlins once believed in the good
faith of the Mormon church, but that he
did not now believe in it.
