CANNON HAS SIX WIVES
Mormon Leader Testifies as to Polyga-
NOUS Capitalization Much the Same as
President Smith.

President Smith.
Washington, April 22.--The feature
of the days hearing in the SmOot case
was the testimony of Angus M. Can
non, for twenty-five years president of
the largest Mormon stake" in the
world. The testimony was of a per-
sonal character, dealing with the con-
viction of the witness on charges of
polygamous cohabitation. His 6e-
Tense for cohabiting with six wives,
all Of whom are living, was the same
as that of President Smith and Rob-
erts = that he could not in honor
desert them.
He said he did not live with all
his wives now - that is he is "only
as attentive as fell common humanity
requires me to be-" He said: For
a long time | have lived within the
law as far as it was possible to do so
i'm the face of the obligations to my
families. I have not paraded my fami-
lies, but in honest pride l have nour-
ished them" In effect Cannon's teSti-
mOny did not differ from that of Smith
and Roberts.

SALEM
JUSTICE
DISTRICT
Question May Be Raised Over
the Boundary

According to several good authori.
ties, the Salem justice district is in
somewhat of a muddle. The condi.
lions were brought about by an order
of the county court changing the
boundaries Of the precinct at the term
OF court in January. AT that time the
justice district consisted Of 10 pre-
cincts, Salem Nos, 1. 2, 3, 4, East,
North, South, Salem, Englewood, Yew
Park and Prospect. The county court
made a more convenient arrangement
of the voting precincts, and estab-
lished new boundaries Of the city, but
did not definitely set out in the order
that the old territory, under the new
names, should be a part Of the Salem
justice district. Whether the dele
gates for the new precincts will be en-
titled to participate In the nomination
OF a justice OF the peace and con-
stable, and what authority the county
clerk has 10 place the names OF the
nominees for those ofices on the OF.
fetal ballot. without the action Of the
court is a question that Is worrying
some people, but II is generally con
coded that the delegates will have
power to act In the conventions, as the
same territory is included in the old
ward and East Salem will be consid-
cred in the district until some legal
point is raised in the courts.

LIMITATIONS STATUTE
SHIELDED PERRY HEATH.
Robb Declares to Senate Com
mittee That He Would
Gladly Have Prosecuted
Former Official.

Washington, March 5.-The Senate
Committee on Post Offices and Post
Roads to-day heard Assistant Attor
ney General Robb of the Post Office
Department in advocacy of a bill to
prohibit guessing contests carried
on by newspapers and circulars. The
bill was prepared by the Post Office
and introduced by Senator Penrose.
During the course of Mr.. Robb's
statement the subject of the post OF
flee investigation was referred to,
Senator Culberson asking il some
men had not been protected by the
statute of limitation.
Mr., Robb said he believed such
was the case.
Senator Culberson then asked il
Perry S, Heath was not one of those
protected by the statute.
Mr., Robb answered in the affirma
tive, adding that on account OF the
position which Heath occupied, both
officially and politically, he would
have been glad to have prosecuted
him.
Senator Scott at this juncture de-
clared that Mr.. Robb was going ou' :
side his province in making such
statements. He declared that the
Postmaster General did not author.
ize him to make such statement, and
would disapprove his doing so.
Senator Scott moved that all reie I.
ence to the matter be stricken from
the record.
This motion was carried by strict
party vote.
Senators Culberson and Clay
strongly objected to the proposition
to strike the statement made by Mr.
Robb from the records.
Subsequently, Mr.. Robb stated
that what he intended to say was
that il the evidence had warranted
the indictment of heath he "would
have been glad to see him take his
medicine on account OF the high
position he (Heath) held.
Robb also pointed out that in a
public document presented to the
Senate by Senator Hale, it was shown
that Mr.. Robb expressed the opinion
that only suspicion lay again
Heath, and that there was not sufti.
Gent evidence to warrant an indict
ment.
