WILL HAVE NONE OF 1T.
Men Are Almost Unit Against
Joint Statehood Plan.

J. Thompson Lindsey, commercial
man, who lately covered every part
of Arizona and New Mexico, yester-
day afternoon before leaving Santa
Fe on the Santa Fe train for the
south, made the following remarks re-
garding the attitude of Arizona on
the joint statehood question: "Ari-
against joint statehood. In all my trav-
els through that territory l have not
met business man in favor of joint
statehood, and if it should come to a
vote the proposition would be over
whelmingly defeated. They are, how
ever, more enthusiastic over single
statehood, l think, than the people of
New Mexico, of whom l found quite
a number opposed to any kind of state
hood However, except for few po-
litical leaders and several newspapers,
l find the same strong sentiment in
New Mexico. as in Arizona, against
joint statehood, Mr.. Lindsey said in
conclusion. and his statements seem
to be borne out by the observation of
others. He has his headquarters in
st. Louis, but has for the past %
years made several trips per year
through New Mexico and Arizona. He
is thoroughly acquainted with the
business men in the cities and towns
of the two territories, as well as with
the country merchants. He meets
many of them on his periodical trips
annually.

WANT TO REGAIN
ISLAND Of SAkHALIE]N
Was Coded to the Russians But
Fisheries Situated There Are I'm
portant Base CT Food Supplies for
the japanese.

ST. Petersburg, March S.-There is
no truth in the reports that Japan
ese fleet bombarded Vladivostock al,
day long yesterday According to the
latest information the fleet simply
showed itself and sailed away without
firing shot. One reason for the ap-
pearance of the Japanese in northern
waters advanced here, is their proba-
BILE desire to regain possession of the
island of Sakhalien, which was ceded
to Russia by Japan. 1t is pointed oul
that the whole of northern Japan will
be threatened with famine if the food
supply derived from the island of
Sakhalien fisheries is cut off. About
100000 tribesmen inhabiting the trans
Baikal territory, have petitioned the
young Czarina to be allowed to con-
tinue their tribal relations and not be
placed under the Russian administra-
ton system, with the alternative of
permission to migrate to Mongolia.
The Gear telegraphed declining to
grant the tribesmen's request.
Suspected Japanese Arrested.
Vladivostock, March 8.-Despite the
appearance of the Japanese fleet off
the harbor yesterday and the lombard
ment on Sunday, the inhabitants are
in good spirits.
Many suspected Japanese have been
arrested, but when examined they
proved to be Chinese or Koreans.
Snow has been falling for the last two
days.
Official Report Expected.

naval attack upon Vladivostock is not
confirmed officially, although the navy
admits that the attack was

MISS CLARA KENNEDY
ON THE STAND
Apostle TeasdaIe Had Refused to Solemnize
the Plural Marriage Because the Custom
Had Been Done Away With.

Washington, March S.-Mrs. Clara
Kennedy resumed the stand today in
the Smoot case Worthington for the
defense, continued the cross examina
tion of the witness and inquired into
the reason for her marriage being con-
summated at JuareZ, Mexico, instead
of at the Mormon settlement at DiaZ,
where she lived.
She said she knew no reason and
had no information regarding the at
tempt to have the ceremony performed
elsewhere. She said she did not
tell anyone that the man whom she
was to marry had another wife and so
far as she knew, those performing the
ceremony did not know that the mar
riage was q plural one.
Later, Mrs. Kennedy acknowledged
that an application had been made to
Apostle Teasdale, and that he refused
to authorize or conduct the plural mar
riage. What did he say?" asked
Worthington. HE said it could not be
done as all that had been done away
with" said Mrs. Kennedy.
Charles F. Merrill, son OF Apostle
Merrill, was placed on the stand. He
said he was the son of his fathers
third wife and that he was himself
polygamist. He married his first wife
in 1887. She died in 1889 and he mar
ried his legal wife in 1891. In 1888
while his first wife was living he mar
ried his second wife, but according to
the law she was not his legal wife as
he had wife at the time of the mar
riage. He had five children by his
illegal wife, and four by the other.
Merrill said his father was still liv-
ing, although very feeble, and was an
apostle Of the church.
In regard to his fathers family. he
said his father had six wives and that
he had 20 brothers and seventeen sis
ters. He thought that three OF his
brothers had married plural wives and
that two of his sisters had married in
to polygamous families.
