Investigation Began in the Senate.

Investigation Began in the Senate.
Washington, March 2.-The sem
ate committee on privileges and cleo
tions today formally began the
Senator Reed Smoot investigation.
Great interest attaches to it because
the inquiry besides fixing the status
of Smoot's claim to his seat, search
es Mormonism to see its relation to
political affairs. A. S. Worthington
of this city and Waldeman Van Colt,
of Salt Lake, represent Smoot. The
protestants against Smoot are rep
resented by John G. Carlisle and Il.
w. Taylor, former congressman from
Ohio. Joseph F. Smith, president of
the Mormon church, was called as
first witness by Mr.. Taylor.
Smith testified he was sustained"
as prophet, seer and revelator, and
had all the powers of his predecessors,
including Joseph Smith, jr, first
president. He said Reed Smoot was
one of the apostles governing the
church.

LAME ATTEMPT
TO SW|NDLE
Alleged Permanent Improve
ments" of Country Club,
ct al, to be Contested.

! The Cherokee Nation is confronted
with a gigantic swindle, or an attempt
to swlndle, that has already passed
the first stage Of being recognized"
by the townsite appraisers in spite Of
the united efforts of the Nations rep
resentative en- the board and the ef-
forts of its attorney.
An improved lot is appraised to the
owner at fifty per cent of the sum he
would have to pay were 1t not inn
proved. To save this fifty per cent.
the Country Club, of Muskogee, and
various spectators, or sharks, from
that town and Fort Gibson have
caused to be erected about I50 shacks
that are uninhabitable and are, with
out doubt, meant to be only tempo
rary. They claim these to be within
the meaning Of the law referring TO
permanent improvements.
That the jumble OF planks are ''per-
manent improvements" two of the
townsite commissioners have held, but
a vigorous protest and appeal has been
made by the Cherokee appraiser and
attorney.
Much interest attaches to the ap-
praisement of these lots at Fort Glib
son. The Country Club and specula-
tors holding possession Of these lots
seek to benefit by the provision of the
recent treaty by constructing board
shanties, some eight feet square and
others l0xI4 feet, on the $50 lots.
These structures are very fiimsy and
as many as twelve have been thrown
together on one block. They are con-
structed Of the poorest grade Of lum-
Der, with cracks between the boards
so wide in some places that a man can
put his arm through. In a great
many man could throw his hat
through the holes in the excuse for a
roof. No person could live in one Of
these shacks and they are Of no use
except TO store hay, and even then
there is but little protection from sun
or rain.
There is only one nail driven in each
end OF the boards, while the roof
boards remain at the length they left
the mill, no attempt being made to
saw them off.
1t Is Tie Hyident intention Of these
"fifty per cent. grafters to use the
lumber for some other purpose after
they have completed their scheme.
The representatives OF the Chero-
KEGS are standing pat" on the propo-
sition that these Improvements cost
less than twenty-five dollars, and thus
do not constitute permanent inn
pToyement. Our representatives do
not propose to accept the decision of
the two townsite commissioners, but
win carry the question to q just decis-
ion. True, the commissioners have
found shacks on lots in other towns,
but they have been isolated cases and
so few that they we're passed.
