MORMON CHURCH
STILL POLYGAMOUS

| Washington, March S.-After hav-
Ing Joseph F. Smith, president of the
Mormon church, on the stand for near
ly five hours yesterday, before the Sen
ate committee on privileges and elec-
tions, which is investigating the right
of Reed Smoot to sit as Senator. both
| the prosecution and the defense an
nounced that theyswere through with
him and another witness was called.
This was Mrs. Clara Mabel Kennedy,
who told some secrets of the Mormon
church, which If not broken down, will
prove as important as the statements
of President Smith that ne and other
officials have been persistently cohab-
fting with plural wives in violation OF
the law.
Mrs. Kennedy said she was married
by Brigham Young, an apostle of the
church, to James Francis johnson, a
polygamist, since the manifesto OF
1890, and that she has had two chill
dren by that husband. The marriage
was performed in Mexico, according to
the witness, at the home of high Of
fetal of the church.
When the hearing opened yesterday.
Senator Dubois put into the record the
census figures for Utah. taken in 1890,
to show that instead of only three or
four per cent. in polygamy, as Mr..
Smith had said in reply, there we're
about 23A per cent. of the Mormon
population of an age enabling them to
be polygamists who. were living in a
state of polygamy in 1890. Senator
Dubois gave it as his opinion that there
has been no material reduction in the
number of polygamists since 1890.
President Smith was questioned as
to the process of accommodation in
the Mormon church, and also in regard
to the number of his children born
since the Woodruff manifesto, answer
Ing to the last question that there had
been eleven according to the best of
his recollection.
Both the prosecution and the defense
announced that they were through
he was allowed to leave the stand
Chairman Burrows inquired:
How many children have you now,
Mr.. Smith,"
"Forty-two," was the answer, "twen-
ty-one boys and twenty-six girls, and
l am proud of every one of them"
The witness was asked by Senator
Burrows If Joseph Smith, Jr., the
founder of the Mormon church, was
polygamist, and after answering af-
firmatively, he said that Mr.. Smith
was married to Eliza r. Snow in 1912
and to Maria Partridge in the forties.
His first wife was living with him
when he married the second"
Witness offered to give the dates
later. but Mr.. Burrows said it was not
necessary and he inquired only be-
cause he had been informed that he
was not polygamist.

RUSSELL BOLLES
FOUND GUILTY

Denver, March 6.-"We. the jury.
find Russell Bolles guilty Of murder in
the first degree as charged in the in
formation, and fix .Ae penalty at life
Imprisonment"
This was the verdict of the jury in
the case of Russell Bolles, charged with
the murder of Harold Fridborn, Deem
ber 81, 1901.
AS the twelve men, selected to be the
judges of Bolles. filed into the West
Side court room yesterday morning at
11:45 O'Clock, and took their places in
the jury box. a solemn hush fell over
the room, and Russell Bolles, who was
sitting behind his attorney. ]. Maurice
Finn, leaned forward, his white face
and tense muscles betraying the awful
suspense he labored under as he
watched it. knew that he had been con-
victed Of one of the most heinoua
crimes ever committed. He bowed
his head on his hand and said in low,
broken tones. as though speaking to
himself. MY God. they're going to
murder me. anyhow"
At a motion from the court, Clerk
Bishop addressed the jury: Gentle
men, have you agreed upon a verdict?"
he asked, and Foreman Frank O'Neill.
rising, handed the written verdict to
the clerk, who in turn handed it to the
court. Judge Dixon read the pagea
several times, then nodded and gave II
back to the clerk, who said: Gentle
men. you will now listen to the reading
Of your verdict"
The Fridborns were exultant. They
shook hands with District Attorney
Lindsey and his assistant. S. N. San
born. complimenting them, and also
shook hands with each juror in turn.
After the reading of the verdict Mr..
Finn arose and addressed the court:
Your honor" said he. Il wish to
note an exception to the verdict and. In
behalf of my client. request stay OF
execution for thirty days. that may
prepare plea for new trial"
Gould you rot prepare such plea in
ten days. Mr.. Finn?" asked the court
Ordinarily, yes. But in this case J
will need longer time"
You may have twenty days" said
Judge Dixon.
In discussing the verdict after It had
been rendered Foreman O'Neill said
that the first ballot showed that it was
unanimously believed that Bolies was
guilty.
THE only difficulty we had" said he,
was deciding what punishment should
be meted out to the guilty man. Zen
of us thought that the evidence in the
case only warranted life imprisonment,
but there were two who wanted to
hang him."

Postottiee Investigation.

Washington. March S.-Another
chapter in the postoffice investigation
of last summer was revealed yesterday
when Chairman Overstreet of the
House committee on postoffices and
postroads laid before the House of
Representatives a closely-printed doc
ument of 21S pages. recounting the in
stances on file in the Postofice De
partment in which members of the
Senate and House of Representatives
have used their influence with the OFF,
cials of the Postoffice Department with
more or less success. to secure in.
creases in salaries OF postmasters. ad-
ditional clerk hire and advantageous
leases OF buildings for postoffice pur-
poses.
Some OF the transactions involving
members of Congress records in the
report are held to be technical viola
tions of the statutes; others are pro-
notinced by members who have read
the report as clearly censurable, while
In the majority of cases 1t is held that
members in making their recommend
ations to the department expected
nothing not in harmony with the rules
and practices of the department.
Two cases are set forth in which
members Of Congress own buildings
which are leased to the government
for postofilce purposes.

Important Freight Ruling.

Denver. March S.-Judge Booth NJ.
Malone in the District Court has de-
eided that railroad claim agent Is
not the arbiter OF all the disputes over
excessive freight charges. as the COM
panies have been claiming for many
years. There is a law on the. books
saying in effect that all such differ
snces shall be laid before the claim
agent; but yesterday Judge Malone
ruled that an aggrieved party could go
into court direct without any consider
alton of the claim agent.
This ruling was given in the case OF
the South Platte Canal and Reservoir
Company, which Is suing the Colorado
L. Southern railroad for excessive
freight charges on stun hauled to the
Cheesman dam. The railroad hoped to
sustain a demurrer on the ground that
the reservoir company had not pre-
scented its claim to the claim agent and
therefore had not complied, with the
law. But the court held that the courts
Of the state are greater than claim
hgent.
