self absolved from his oaths of Sc
crecy, as he said he had given notice
to his bishop several months ago that
he would not continue as q member Of
the church. These oaths, which all
who took part in the ceremonies
agreed not to reveal under penalty of
mutilation, were given by Mr.. Wallis
as follows:
That the throat be cut from ear to
ear and the tongue be torn off.
That the breast be cut asunder and
the heart and vitals be torn from the
body.
That the body be cut asunder at the
middle and the bowels cut out.
That if demanded we will give all
we possess to the support of the
church.
Questioning by counsel and Senator's
brought out the admission that he had
never taken the oaths seriously, but
had considered them as something OF
q joke. and he thought many others
had considered them the same way.

ligion at public expense. Morning said
the lessons were composed largely of
biographies of polygamists.

Or. ABBOTT DISCARDS BIBLE.
His Religion Founded on Science and
Needs of Human Heart.

His Religion Founded on Science and
Needs of Human Heart.
Dr. Lyman Abbott, in sermon to
Harvard students, has announced his be-
lief in a religion founded not on the Bible
but on science and the outreachings of
the human heart, says a World dispatch
from Cambridge, Mass.
IL wonder" he said, eff you will under
stand me when l say that l no longer
believe in a great first cause. My God
is a great and ever-present fore, which is
manifest in all the activities of man and
all the workings of nature.
81 believe in a God who is in and
through and of everything-not an abb
sentee God, whom we nave to reach
through a Bible or some other outside
aid, but God who is closer to us than
hands or feet. Science, literature and
history tell us that there is one eternal
energy, that the Bible no longer can be
accepted as ultimate, that many of its
laws were copied from other religions,
that the ten commandments did not
spring Spontaneously from Moses, but
were, like all laws, gradual growth, and
that man is an evolution, not a creation.
''No thinking man will say there are
many energies. The days of polytheism
are past. There is only one energy.
That energy has always been working.
1t is an intelligent energy. No scientist
can deny it. 1t was working before
Christ's time, even as it is now"

Russian Secret Service Men Claim -
Have Discovered Such.

D1SCOYeTeQ
Russian secret service agents claim to
have discovered a new and alarmingly
formidable plot to assassinate the Gar.
The discovery, coming at the same time
with the frantic anti-war demonstration
in front of the Governors palace at
Moscow, has caused great excitement.
The secret service has discovered that
the plot to assassinate the Gar and
other Russian leaders was laid in Eng
land. and hurried requests were sent to
the police of London, Manchester and
Liverpool to seize the plotters. 1t is now
known that many, perhaps all, of the
plotters fed England before the warn
ing reached the secret police there, and
STA on their errand of murder.
The wild unrest, following the stu
dents riots and anti-war riots in Moscow,
st. Petersburg and other Russian cities
will, it is feared, serve to hide the plot
tiers until they can make their attempt
on the life of the Car and his minis
tiers.
The plot, it is declared, was discovered
through the seizure of discriminating cor
respondence between plottcrs in Moscow
and in Manchester, England, and the
two men wanted at Manchester had fed
before they could be apprehended.
Four persons were killed and sixty
wounded during the battles between the
troops and the 5000 students assembled
in front of the Governors palace in Mos
COW. Three hundred have been arrest
ed. More than 5000 students participant
ed in the riots and they were not dis
persed until after the police had made
savage attacks with drawn sabers and
had fired several volleys into the crowd.
The authorities knew in advance that
trouble was impending, and several
sgdadrons of mounted gendarmerie were
concealed in the court yards of houses,
ready for an emergency.
