distress in the west of Ireland was
held here yesterday under the presi-

were passed condemning the govern

to earn their livelihood by honest la

THE sMooT HEARING
Witnesses Before tho smoot Inquiry
Tell Of the Powerful Influence Ex-
erted by tho Mormon Church in Poll
tics in Utah and Idaho.

Washington, Dec. 16.-In the Smoot
inquiry today Mrs. Annie Elliott, an
elderly lady who left the Mormon
church in 1896, corroborated the other
witnesses regarding the penalties and
obligations prescribed by the church.
She admitted she had never heard the
endowment house penalties had been
enforced, but said she expected to suf-
fer in business way by reason Of her
testimony at the present inquiry.
Charles H. Jackson, chairman of the!
Idaho democratic state committee, tes-
titled at length concerning the grow
ing power of the Mormon church, and
it's interference in state affairs, which
he said was made the paramount issue
by the democrats and Independents in
the last campaign in Idaho. He said
apostles of the church from Utah 60
into Idaho and direct the people how
to vote They tell their people that
there has been revolutions and that
they should vote certain ticket, also
that the Mormon church desires it. He
gave instances where candidates, who
had proven Satisfactory 10 lne FepuoA-
cans had been defeated for renomina-
ton by the influence of the church,
that of Ex-Governor Morisin being
notable example.
Jackson said that six of the twenty
one counties Of the state are known as
solidly Mormon. That in all the south
ern counties the Mormons who are In
control Of the church have practical
charge of all gatherings at which dele
gates are elected by the people.
delegates elected by these counties
are not always Mormon in religion,
but they are always Mormons IN polit-
ical action" said Jackson.
He had talked with many Mormons
who had told him that If it were known
they were to vote the democratic ticket
they would be ruined in business.

a reduction of II per cent in price.
The navy department, while gratified
at the reduction, is unable to assign
any reason for it, except the fact that
the shipbuilders are badly in need Of

Cincinnati Priest Advises Couples to
Avoid Dark Corners and Low Lights.
Latrobe, Pa, Dec. 16.-At the annual
retreat Of st. Xavier's the Aev. An
gelo Rauber, of Cincinnati, is in charge.
In lecture to the girls on courtship,
he laid down strict rules as follows:
"Avoid late hours, buggy rides and
walks thru lonely places. Courtship is
for the purpose Of learning the dispo-
sition and qualities of the one you in
tend to marry. The young woman
should find out If her suitor drinks or
CANDLES, and whether, he is a gentle
man. And as the young man seeks to
learn her temper and conduct, he
should see her at home, with her family
and friends"
He also advised that members Of the
family should not leave the room
where young couples are, but should
remain with them, neither should the
young couples occupy the sofa together.
They should avoid dark corners and
low lights.

of overconfidence in his friends. Ac-
cording to his bondamen he got little
of the missing funds, having kanded
the money to men who were organizing
various companies. Securities were
found showing that he had loaned $l3,-
600 to Wilson, Humphreys 4 Co.,
wholesale printing house that does
much of the county work and wished
to reorEanize; $4,000 to the Miskimen
Furnace Company, of which ne was
made president; $1,000 to Senator j..
G. Powell, who is completing a ditch IN
this county, and like sums to othefs
for similar ventures, with only per-
sonal security and charging no interest,".
The bondsmen allege that Obencha1n
purchased $4,000 worth of city feai
estate. invested $4,000 in oil and gas
companies In West Virginia ana 1ll-
diana and loaned probably $4,000 TO
individuals on personal notes OF mana.
They are convinced that he took httle
with him when he left. There is SUN
$4,000 of the county's money IN the
city banks. /,
some sources give the estimated
complete defalcation at $250,000. but

Mace the amount at much lower fig
ure.

gree Mason and a Shriner, an Elk and
an Eagle and Knight of Pythias Dur
ing the last campaign he was the demos
cratic county chairman. He had held
the treasurership for two terms run

chairman, although Obenchain bent
every effort to elect the democratic
nominee. in order to gain time to re-
place the funds, it is alleged.
