SEARCH LIGHT ON SMOOT.
The Senate Committee to Investigate
the Charges Against Him.
(By the Associated Press. }

Washington Jan. 23.-The Senate Com
mittee on Privileges and Elections today
determined to enter upon an investigation
into, the charges against Senator Smoot
in connection with the demand for his ex-
pulsion from the Senate, and authorized
Senator Burrows, chairman of the COM
mitee, to present a resolution in the Sen
ate permitting the committee to send for
witnesses and documents.
The committe did not attempt to decide
how extensive the inquiry should be,
leaving that point of future determine
ton The committee had before it Sena-
tor Shoots amended reply to the specific
charges made by Mr.. Tayler at tho meet
ing on the 10th instant, and it was agreed
that the charges and the reply constitute
a sharply joined issue, especially on the
point as to the interference of the Nor
mon Church in temporal affairs. Mem
bers of the committee express the opin-
ion that this and the charges that Mr.
Smoot is polygamist will constitute the
principal points of inquiry. Senator Du-
bois stated today that he had received as
surances that there would be testimony
on the polygamy charge.
Mr.. Smost's reply to the charge that
the authority OF the churcn Is accepted as
supreme in all matters is as follows;

minutes the entire suite was in flames
and the light shaft Of the building was

The thousands of occupants of the
building were alarmed when clouds of
smoke filled every floor and rushed to
the elevators. Many woman tainted in
the scramble to get into the elevators,
but none were seriously injured. The large
building was emptied within half an hour
after the fire was discovered.
That the damage to property and in
jury 10 individuals was not greater was
probably due largely to the efficiency of
the fire drill of the employees, organized
since the Iroquois fire. When the great
bell at the top of the rotunda sounded
the alarm of fire, every ianitor, engineer
and fireman in the building responded
and long before the fire department had
reached the scene the Temple Fire Brigade
had attached hose to the stand pipes which
extend from the basement to the dome of
the structure and eight streams of water
were turned upon the confagration by
the volunteer firemen.
