MOTHERS IN LAW
ARE DEFENDED
PRESIDENT SMITH OF MORMON
CHURCH SAYS HE WILL NEVER
DESERT THE MOTHERS OF HIS
CHILDREN.

Salt Lake, June -Mothers-in-law were
warmly defended by President Joseph Il.
Smith at meeting in the Mormon taber-
nacle today. President Smith was the
principal speaker at the Young Peoples
society of the Mormon church.
II would as soon think of ridiculing
the attributes and holiness of God, as to
make light or joking allusion to the mar
rige ties" said President Smith "A de-
spicable custom prevalent throughout the
world is that of holding up the mother
in-law to ridicule and contempt. Now |
want to say that the best friends | ever
had were my mothers-in-law. | loved
and honored them. and shall ever hold
their memory sacred. They were true
women and worthy of their daughters"
In speaking further of the marriage
relation, President Smith defended his
own course in living In polygamy, say
ing:
II dare not and will not cast aside
those whom God in His infinite wisdom
has Joined me for time and eternity. /
dare not and will not cast aside the moth
ers of my children. If ! did. | would for
felt all the blessings that God will bestow
on those who are faithful to their trust.
I will be true to my children, true to my
trust. true to my God and wives and my
children"

the night with a friend.
Returning this morning they found that
she still had not appeared and the police
searched more thoroughly, finding the
body this time. Physicians say that the
bruises on Mrs. Carlisle's body did not
cause death. 1t is not known whether
SHE was murdered, committed suicide or
died suddenly of natural causes. II muir

money was found in the closet of the
room where the body lay, and two dla-

to the fact that the government of the
United States through representatives of
its army. was participating in the exer-
cses. and that the government had col
lected the remains o. the Confederate
soldiers and had erected suitable stones
to mark their graves. He asked the ex-
-Confederates present If they would not
recognize that as true magnanimity. He
referred feelingly to the interest Mr.. Nc
Kinley while a member of congress had
taken in the proper care by the goveN-
ment of the graves of the Confederate
dead. and how the establishment of

fulfllment of Mr.. McKinley's cherished

boys drove in some bulls which they ran
around the arena in true wild west style.
The crowd soon became tired of this and
called for the bull fight.
The announcement was then made that
the bull fight would be proceeded with.
As the matadors came into the ring,
county official handed the announcer
paper, informing him that the proposed
show could not take place When this be-
came known to the crowd. they leaped
into the arena and demanded the return
of their money. Failing in this, the
crowd went to the office which was To-
Gated in small building outside the
arena, and began to stone the structure.
This was followed by attempts to burn
the arena which was an immense build
ing constructed of pine. The efforts were
finally successful and the whole structure
was soon in ruins.
A call was made for the fire depart
ment, but the single engine that re-
sponded became stuck In the mud and
