Vote Republicans Ticket"
WASHINGTON, March 11.-one of
the most interesting and important
features OF the investigation Of the
Senator Reed Smoot case before the
senate committee on privileges and
elections was brought out in the testi-
mOny of Il. b. Critchlow, formerly an
assistant United States attorney in
Utah, who told the story of the Moses
Thatcher episode. According to his
version, which was borne out by Off
cial records, Apostle Thatcher persist
ed In continuing as a candidate for
the United States senate against the
wishes of quorum Of the apostles and
on that account was held to be mot in
harmony with his quorum" The his
tory of the campaign he made against
the wishes of his fellow Mormons, Of
his defeat and his subsequent trial be-
fore a commission of church officials
was given in detail, and then Thatch-
er's submission to the will of the
church was read and put in the record
Of the Smoot investigation. This re-
cantation showed Thatcher totally bro
ken in spirit and bowling absolutely TO
the mandates Of the church in that the
consent of an officers quorum NUT
be obtained in order that he may con
tinue in good standing,
Tho purpose of the testimony was to
show that it was necessary, accord
ing TO the rules of the church, for Reed
Smoot to have obtained the consent Of
the church before he could have be
come a candidate for the senate.
In addition to the Thatcher episode
Mr. Critchlow gave the history Of the
prosecutions in Utah of charges of
polygamous cohabitation since the pas
sage of the Edmunds law and the leg
islatlon in the territory and state
which affects Mormonism or polyga-
my His story was concise and enter
tanning, and he was interrupted but
little.
In response to an inquiry i'm regard
to Mr. Thatcher running for the sen
ate on platform not in harmony with
the church, Mr. Critchlow spoke Of the
influence OF apostles, giving as an Illus
tration that the apostles gave out the
instruction that 1T is the will of the
Lord that you vote the Republican
ticket this time"
Mr. Crltchlow said the Democrats
protested against the interference by
the church i'm such manner
Andrew Jensen. the assistant histo-
rian of the church, gave testimony
showing the supremacy of the presi-
dent of the church.

RACE RIOT
IN OHIO
Mob Violence at Springfield Re.
quires the Presence Of State
Troops.

SPRINGFIELD, o., March 1.-THE
race disturbances which have terror
led this town for the last three days
rs the result of the murder Of PATROL
man Coils and the subsequent lynch
ing of the negro Dixon, who shot Col
lis, is held well in check by the thir-
teen companies of state militia, and
the authorities are now Of the opinion
that no more troops will be needed to
control the situation.
Both Chief of Police O'Brien and
Sheriff Routzahn believe, however,
that it would be mistake to material
ly decrease the number of troops now
on hand. There are unmistakable
signs that there is an ugly feeling on
the part of the men and the boys who
have composed the mobs of the last
three days, and the authorities realize
that the shooting of either white
man or negro or even street fight
between men of opposite races would
be sufficient to start the mob again on
killing and burning expedition.
The burning of portion of the levee
and the vacating of several other ne
gro saloons and lodging houses by their
proprietors has only partially satisfied
the mob, which was thwarted by the
military in its attempt to burn the
"Flickers' Nest" n row of buildings
formerly occupied by about fifty fam
lilies, but now completely deserted.
The police have arrested negro claim
ing Cincinnati as his home and giving
Y. w. Smith as his name. He was ac-
companied by several strange negroes,
and wherever they could gain an au-
dience of one or more negroes on the
street they read a highly in0lmmatory
typewriter paper urging the negroes
to avenge the lynching of Dixon and to
apply the torch to the white business
and residence districts in retaliation
for the burning Of the negro quarters
on the levee.
In the opinion of City Solicitor Ia
tum neither the city nor county can
be held responsible for the burning OF
the levee district by the mob. II is an
admitted fact that, while the public
sentiment is against the means EN-
ployed to put the negro ont Of the
way, there is universal rejoicing that
he is dead, and il is realized that il
will be extremely difficult to secure a
Jury that will assess more than nomi-
nal damages if any at ALL While a
special grand jury will sit Monday to
investigate the lynching, It is thought
that 1t will be impossible TO indict Ell
Their the leaders Of the mob which did
the lynching nor the subsequent burn
ing

TRENTON. y. j. March lO.-Speak-
ing in opposition to bill for the de.
struction Of robins as fruit destroyers.
the following story was told by Hand
some Harry" Scovel, assemblyman
from Camden, in the legislature: ''rhe
robin was first magpie and gray IN
color and unprepossessing IN general
appearance, but with u most sympa-
thetic nature. He approached the cross
Of Calvary at the time of the crucifx-
ion, timidly uttering cries of grief.
With his wings he tried to wipe of the
face Of Jesus, and with his beak he
tried to draw forth one Of the thorns
from the forehead. A single drop OF
blood fell on his breast, and from then
until now he has been called red
breast He is the bird of God, the her
aid of the glad tidings Of spring, and /
shall vote to protect him If every man
in the house votes against him."

BOwlus. ~.


BOwlas. 80
SPRINGFIELD, o., March 10.-The
situation here is considered by the au-
critics to be more threatening than
q, any time since the beginning Of the
present race troubles. While Governor
Herrlck has not proclaimed state Of
martial law such a condition practi-
3ally exists In the down town districts
and the burned portions of the town
formerly occupied by the negro re
sorts. Ten companies of the Ohio ma
tional guard are on picket duty, and
seven more companies are expected.
The saloons without exception have
been closed, and many other lines of
business have practically ceased 1t is
estimated that fully $4,000 people
throng the streets, visiting the county
Jail, the telegraph pole at Main street
and Fountain avenue where the negro
Dixon was strung up and the burned
cut districts of the levee.
AS the result of repeated requests
from influential citizens Mayor Bow
lus has finally consented not only to
close the remaining negro saloons, ho-
tells and lodging houses which are I'M
der the ban of the mob, but has or
dered the proprietOrs in every instance
to move out all the intoxicating drinks
and in some cases even the fixtures.
including gambling apparatus.
The following proclamation has been
issued and posted by Mayor Bowlus:
ITO the People of Springfield-Yo
are earnestly requested to remain off
the streets of the city after nghtfall
except in cases where business Of ne
cessity requires you to go thereon and
to refrain from congregating upon the
streets or in public places of the city
compliance with the above request
Is deemed TO be necessary for the pres
ervatiOn Of the peace and good order of
the community and to prevent a repe-
tition of acts of mob violence Any
one found lettering in public places in
violation Of this request win be
promptly prosecuted"
Colonel Mead's troops i'm dispensing

dynamite that was intended for blow
ing up the remaining colored dives.
The troops are dispensing crowds and
will control the situation during day
light, but reign of terror after dark
is feared.
Two hundred armed negroes, it is re-
ported. have gathered in Clarke's
woods, near the outskirts of the city.
and it is feared that There will Ice
clash at any moment
The streets are crowded with excited
citizens. while terror stricken women
and children remain behind closely
fastened doors, mOmentarily expecting
the torch 10 be applied to their homes
by the half crazed negroes.
