MORMON is GAFfED.
Smith Gives Further SaIacious Testi.
mony Regarding Domestic Affairs
Of Latter Day Saints.

Interest in the investigation before
the senate committee on privileges and
elections Of the protests against Sena-
tor Reed Smoot, of Utah, was anabat-
ed Friday, although most Of the time
was devoted to introduction OF docu-
ments subscribed to as the law OF the
Mormon church. In that connection
President Joseph F. Smith, who again
was on the stand, testified that If the
principle of plural marriage should be
attacked, it would be defended by the
church.
Intense feeling was exhibited by
President Smith against individuals,
who, he said. had spied on tho demes-
tic and marital relations Of the high
officials of the Mormon church.
It was brought out that all OF Mr..
Smiths predecessors, as presidents OF
the Mormon church, had been poiy-
gamists, and that the man chosen to
succeed him has more than one wife.
Mr.. Smith was asked which he would
obey, the law Of the land or revela'
tions from God, if the two were in con-
flict. He said he might obey the reve-
lation, though it was not compulsory.
He added: 81 should not like to De
put in a position where would have
to desert my children-I could not do
that"
Senator Hoar desired Information on
the subject Of rights Of women in the
church, and whether they hold any
priestly authority. Mr.. Smith said the
women are regarded as the equals OF
the men in all matters Of voting, but
that in holding "priestly authority
women are not regarded on the same
plane. He explained that the women
have charitable association known as
''The Woman's Relief Society,"" in
which they have authority to perform
certain prescribed duties. This author
ity is limited to the relieving OF dis
tress, but women are not ordained
high priests, apostles or elders.
Discussing plural marriage, Presi'
dent Smith said if a Mormon wanted
to espouse a second virgin, he could
do so by obtaining the consent OF the
first, but If the consent Of the first was
withheld he was at liberty to proceed
without it. 1t is set forth also that
where the first refuses to consent 10
share her husband with another wo'
man, she would be destroyed" Sena'
tor Pettus asked the meaning Of the
word destroyed" in that sense.
MI. Smith answered that she would
be destroyed by the Lord. but that he
was not informed "just now the lord
would go about 1t"
Then it does not mean that the
husband could destroy ner?" Senator
Pettus asked.
mo, never"
II take it then that the question OF
getting wife's consent to marry again
might just as we'll be eliminated en-
tirely," said Senator Beveridge.
"Just as we'll" answered the wit
ness.

rLAD|VOST0CK BOMBARDED
Japs Tackle Second Strong
hold of Russian Bear But
Lydite Shells Fail to Do
Any Great Damage.

An Associated Press dispatch from
,yladivostock says: A feet OF i've
japanese battle ships and two cruisers
appeared of this place at 1:25 O'Clock
this (sunday) afternoon and lombard
cd the town and shore batteries for
dtty-tive minutes.
The feet approached from the d.
rection of Askold island at the east
entrance Of Ussuri bay, and about
80 miles southeast Of Vladivostock.
Entering Ussuri bay the enemy form
ed in line Of battle, but did not ap'
proach a closer range than 5 1-S miles.
They directed their fire against the
shore batteries and the town, but no
damage resulted, as most OF their z0o
lyddite shells failed to burst.
The Russian battery, commanded by
Generals Veronez and Artamof, did
not reply, awaiting closer approach
OF the enemy.
The Japanese fire ceased at 2:2o
D. m, and the enemy retired in the
direction OF Askold island. Simulta-
neously the torpedo boat destroyers
appeared near Askold island, and two
more near Cape Miadel.
The japanese ships were covered
with ice.
The attack resulted in no loss to the
Russians, but cost the enemy 20o,ooo
roubles .(s100,0o0) in ammunition
Most of the projectiles were six and
twave-inch shells.
The population Of Vladivostock was
warned in the early morning OF the
presence on the horizon Of a hostile
aeet and the prospect Of an attack
during the day, but it remained tran
quill.
Interest now ce1ters on the proba-
bic encounter between the Russian
Vadivostock feet, comprised OF the
cars four finest cruisers and several
torpedo boats and destroyers, and the
Japanese squadron which has just
bombarded vladivostock. A cable re-
ceived Saturday night states that the
report that the Russian squadron was
not in Vladivostock March 1 is correct
When last seen it was of Usulie bay.

"a Fatal Error"

It was ST Paul vs.. louisville and
the grandstand and bleachers were
full of fans to see the great nation
al game Of baseball.
In the first inning after two men
were gone, ball was batted to short
stop, who stopped 1t, but In his anxi-
ETY. to put the man out, he threw over
the first baseman's head into the
bleachers, allowing the runner who
should have been an easy out on first,
to make third. Later he was brought
in by a base hit from one of his team
mates.
That run resulted in the loss Of the
game to St. Paul., for Louisville scored
one run in the tenth after st. Paul
had. tied the score in the ninth. The
playing was gilt-edged after the first
error, batteries and fielders did splen-
did work; but in vain; the die was
cast; what was done could not be un-
done; the fatal error had been made.
Life is game the world is the
field: and we are the players. We
show some strength and skill, but
foolishly fail at the critical time. Try
ever so hard as we may, we lose, and
what should have been our gain is
