session for the purpose of instructing
their scale committee that is to meet
the miners tomorrow. On number
of matters they are greatly puzzled
and possibly cannot act with unity un-
til the result of the Indianapolis con-
vention is known Should the eastern
miners strike there is a question as to
whether the Iowa operators would
continue the production of coal or by
shutting down the mines and stopping
the supply of money to the miners
keep them from giving help to the
eastern miners and thereby help to
bring an end to the strike. This, how
ever, is a question on which the oper.
ators are divided.
Fraternal Insurance.
Before going into executive session
this morning the miners considered
the matter of fraternal insurance pre-
sented to the convention by the Car
bondale union. The resolution was
changed and finally killed by the con-
stitution committee Saturday but the
author of the resolution wanted the
matter discussed in convention. The
miners favor some plan of fraternal in
surance but the one proposed by this
resolution is not considered the right
one John Sharpe, of Brazil. former
vice-president and secretary of
the constitution committee, at
the present convention told of the re-
suits of an investigation made by him
self regarding the working of the pro-
posed plan, to pay 25 cents each per
member in case of death from any
cause and 10 cents each per member
in case of permanent disability. This
he showed would cost the Iowa miner
about 25 cents for every work day in
the year. w. HI. Powell.

SM0OT CASE
REOPENED
PRESIDENT SMITH SAYS APos.
TIES HAVE NOTHING TO DO
WITH JUDICIAL AFFAIRS.

Washington, D. c., March. z. - With
President Joseph F. Smith Of the Nor
mon church again on the stand for the
defense, the second week of the inves-
tigation of the Smoot case opened to-
day before the senate, committee on
privileges and elections. Senator Du-
Bois put into the record the census
figures for Utah taken in 1890 to show
that instead of only or 4 per cent liy-
ing in polygamy as Smith had said in
reality there was about % Ia per
cent Mormon population of polyga-
nous age, who were living in the state
of polygamy in 1890.
Dubois gave it as his opinion that
there had been no material reduction
in the, number Of poly ygamists ;since
1890.
Explains Excomn1unication.
Mr.. Worthington conducted the, ex-
animation of Smith to ascertain the
process undergone in the cases of ex-
communication. The witness explain
ed the manner in which the church
was divided into divisions of wards
and states and the machinery of or
ganization through which charges
against any person would have to be
brought and passed upon. He said
the apostles have nothing to do with
the judicial affairs of the church. They
merely preach the Gospel and send
missionaries to other fields.

PIN NEGRO WITH PITcHFoRKs.
Murderer Assaults Guard Before
Being Executed.

Opelika, Ala, March 7-C. H.
Sparks, negro murderer, was hanged
her under exciting circumstances.
Before being taken from his cell
Sparks assaulted and severely wound
ed one of the guards with a knife.
Sparks was then pinned to the wall
with pitchforks and the sheriff and his
deputies overpowered and handcuffed
him, after which he was led to the scat
fold. The first drop was unsuccessful
on account of the rope being too long,
and it was necessary for the murderer
to mount the scaffold again. The rope
was shortened, and this time his neck
was broken. 4.

COMMITTEE GIVES TO HOUSE RE.
suit OF CONSIDERATION OF
POSTAL AFFAIRS.
MEMBERS UNANIMOUS
Transactions Involve Members of Con.
sress In Variable Desrees-com-
munication From Rristow Laid Be-
fore House.

Washington. March Z. - Another
chapter in the postoffice investigation
of last summer was revealed today
when Chairman Overstreet of the
house committee on postoffces and
post roads laid before the house of rep
resentatives a closely printed docu-
ment of 218 pages recounting the in
stances on file in the postoffice depart
ment in which the members of the
senate and house of representatives
have used their Influence" with the
officials of the postoffice department,
with more or less success, to secure
increases in salaries of postmasters,
additional clerk hire, and advantage
Gus leases of buildings for postoffice
purposes. Action will be taken We'd
lnesday. ~ Oh
Committee Unanimous Il
The report is made by the unani.
nous vote of the members of Mr. Over
streets committee, in response to a
resolution calling for the information
introduced by Representative Hay, of
Virginia. AS the information accom-
panies the report, the committee rec
ommends that the resolution lay on the
table.
Some of the transactions involving
members of congress recorded in the
report are held to be technical viola
tions of the statutes, others are pro-
nounced by members who have read
the report as clearly censurable, while
in the majority of cases it is held that
members in making their recon menda-
tions to the department, expected
nothing not in harmony with the rules
and practices of the department.
4 Three cases are set forth in which
members of; congress own buildings
which are leased to, the government for
post office purposes.
Bristow Makes Report.
The details of these cases are given
by Fourth Assistant Postmaster Gener-
al Bristow in communication to
Chairman Overstreet as follows:
Section 3739 of the revised statutes
provides:
mo member of or delegate to con-
gress shall directly or Indirectly, him
self, or by any other person in trust
for him, or for his use or benefit, or on
his account undertake, execute, hold or
enjoy, in whole or in part, any contract
or agreement made or entered into on
behalf of the United States by any Off
Ger or person authorized to make con-
tracts on behalf of the United States.
"The statutes further provides:
"All contracts or agreements made
in violation of this section shall be
void.
Yet in the face Of this statute, Beav-
ers has made contracts with members
of congress for the rental of the prem
ises, either in their own names, the
name of their agents, or some member
of their families.
