HELENA INFESTED
 WITH BURGLARS
Five Attempts in One Night to Burglarize Homes of the
 River City.

Helena, Dec. 21.-For the past four days there has been a veri- table carnival of crime in this city. Since Saturday ten houses have been entered or an attempt made to enter them by burglars.
 Last night there were five such attempts, though in only two cases was there any money secured.
 Twenty dollars was stolen from Ralph Ryder as he slept last night, the thieves leaving behind his and his wife's gold watches.
 The house of N. s. Bruce was also entered and fifty cents, which he had in his pocket, taken. His gold watch and some jewelry belonging to his wife were un- touched.
 The other attempts were all failures, though considerable skill was shown in every instance in seeking entrance.

 CLOSING AGREEMENT,
Hedging Themselves to Close Their Doors Mondays Follow ing Christmas and New

To laboring people the calen- dar seemed trifie unjust this year in brin ging Christmas and new year, two long observed holidays, upon Sunday, and thus apparently robbing them of the delights of a holiday.

The grocerymen reserve the right to open for a few hours in the morning to supply their trade with the necessaries of life. All the merchants have signed this agreement except w. B. Chastain and J. H. Elfrank, who promise to close those days, and s. G. Parker.
 AGREEMENT SIGNED.

ADMISSION WAS MADE BY PRES
IDENT SMITH IN SMOOT
INQUIRY.
PREDECESSORS ALL P0lYGAMlSTS
AND MAN CHOSEN TO SUCCEED
SMITH HAS MORE THAN
ONE WIFE.

Washington, March 6.-Interest in
the investigation before the senate
committee on privileges and elections
of the protests against Senator Reed
Smoot of Utah was undated yester-
day, although most of the time vas
devoted to introduction of documents
subscribed to as the law of the Nor
non church. In that connection Pres
ident Joseph F. Smith, who again was
on the stand, testified that if the prin-
ciple of plural marriage should be at
tackled it would be defended by the
church.
Intense feeling was exhibited by
President Smith against individuals
who, he said, had spied on the domes-
tic and marital relations of the high
officials of the Mormon church. and
for that reason he had favored the
passage Of the Evans bill
To Prevent Prosecutions
for polygamous cohabitation. unless
complaints were entered by husband
or wife against the other. This bill
was passed, but vetoed by the gov
ernor of Utah.
1t was brought out that all of Mr..
Smiths predecessors, as presidents or
the Mormon church, had been polyg-
amists and that the nan 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
conflict. He said he might obey the
revelation, though 1t was not COM
pulsory. He added: II should not
like to be put in a position where I
would have to desert my children
could not do that"
