WAR ON THE MORMON
Fight Opens Before the Senate
Committee in the Reed
.Smoot Case.
CHIEF OF THE CHURCH TALKS
Believes in Polygamy, but Submits to
Its Observation-Disclosures
Is Very Broad.

Washington, March 3.-An effort to
air the innermost secrets of the Nor
mon faith was manifested in the first
days proceedings before the senate
committee on privileges and elections
which is investigating the protests
against Reed Smoot retaining his seat
as a senator from Utah. President
Joseph ID. Smith, the highest official
Of the church, vas on the stand all
day. He was questioned closely In re-
gard to the principles of divine ~revela>
tons. He said he adherded absolutely
to all the teachings of the church in
that regard, and that he himself had
been visited by neutrality-suspicious. from
God directing him as to details in mat
ters pertaining to the welfare of the
church, though no angels had come to
him, as in the case Of the revelation
to his uncle, Joseph Smith, Jr., the
founder of the church.
Believes in the Whole Thing.
He subscribed to the standard Of
authority for the church in relation to
the revelation commanding polygamy
us made known TO the first president
in a visit from IAN angel in black"
He also said that he still believed in
polygamy. The testimony was direct
ed in a very slight degree at Senator
SmOOt, and 10 attempt was made by
the defense to curtail the admission
IF testimony until President Smith was
questioned In relation to poiygamous
cohabitation of certain officials of the
church before the manifesto of 1SyU.
Thought That Was the Limit.
The attorneys for the defense then
objected, and much time was devoted
TO the relevancy of such testimony.
The committee went into executive SEES
sion, and after a full discussion deter
mined to allow the utmost latitude to
the hearings, which means that any
thing may come in as testimony. The
committee will hear practically all the
prosecution has to offer and determine
for it: elf what is competent testimony.

CRUMpACKER TALKS

Indianapolis, March 4.-E. d. Crum-
packer, representative from the Tenth
Indiana district, has reached Indian
apoiis from Washington and will be
at the Claypool hotel for two or three
days. He says his trip is not political.
The business of the house was such
that he thought he could leave for a
few days. He will return to Wash
ington in time for the postofhce appro-
priation bill, which, he thinks, will not
come up before Monday.
Pay Of Rural Carriers.
There is great interest in this bill.
because it deals with the pay of rural
carriers. The postofice and post roads
committee has agreed on a bill increas-
ing the pay to $720 a year and depriv-
ing the carrier of tie right to do any
other business whatever. Crumpacker
was asked for his position on this bill.
Il am in favor of allowing the rural
carrier to do errands for the farmer"
said Crumpacker, under such regula-
tons and for such pay, if any, as the
postoffice department may determine.
Rural delivery is essentially for the
farmer, and I think that it is proper
for the carrier to accommodate him
in this respect.
What Crumpacker Opposes.
but l am opposed to letting the
NJ rio mt &c ooonf onI no1.a;< for
any business or for any publishing
house. If the carrier is asked to do an
errand, for instance to buy a quarters
worth Of tobacco, it could be provided
that a written order should be made
by the farmer" The late of the con
%gressional convention in the Tenth las

ably not be opposed for denomination.

The annual meeting for the appoint
ing OF city officers was held in the city
Office last Monday night and the slate
was cleaned up for the year by a COM
plete filling OF all the offices vacant.
Mayor Corcoran has given a great
deal OF consideration TO the matter Of
appointments, that being one OF the
knottiest problems that a mayor is up
against and glance over the list OF
officers appointed will convince the
most skeptical that Mr.. Corcoran has
scattered the offices well and that
every appointee is well qualified for
the position he holds.
The Office of street commissioner
was the one most sought for and the
appointment of Ed Grope is one that
satisfies even the disappointed aspir-
ants for the position. Mr.. Grope was
Injured by a set gun last fall and is un-

Mayor Corcoran has answered the de-
mands Of the people OF the city for a
reform In that oiiice and we believe
that the new marshal will fill the
Office to the satisfaction OF all. Her
