The new proprietor said it was an
outrage and fatty refused to pay in

out the phone If he wished to do so.
Then the agent said he would see
what could be done. He also informed
the proprietor that the charges had
been advanced from 81 month to
$3.50 q month for that kind of a

WASHINGTON, D. c., March A.
AT the opening of the Smoot hearing
thiS~morning President Smith was
questioned by Senator Hoar as to
whether women had ecclesastic author
ity in the Mormon church.
President Smith said that, while
as voters the women were given recog-
milton with men, priestly authority was
denied them. They were not eligible
to election to the Office of president,
apostles, counsellors or any of the
general offices of the church. Upon the
acceptance or rejection of the revelation
the vote Of any woman member of the
church was just as powerful as the vote
of the witness himself.
Reading from copy of the Salt Lake
Desert News Of June %, 1908, report
ing a speech made by President Smith
in which he said the principle of plural
marriages was revealed from God and
any one who denied the divine origin
Of that doctrine might as well deny
other truths, Attorney Taylor asked as
to it's correctness. President Smith
said it was correct, so far as he could
recall.
He said the speech was not delivered
to more than dozen people, and if he
had been consulted he would have been
against its publication because of a
desire to abstain from giving any pub
lie offense. He reiterated that he per-
sonally believed in continuing the prae-'
tice, but that he had accepted the
proclamation against it in good faith.
Chairman Burrows asked if he be-
lieved he had obeyed the law when he
had had FIVE wives and ii children by
them since the date of the manifesto.
Il have already said in that respect, I"
responded Mr.. Smith, "that i have not
obeyed the law, but l preferred to dis
obey it rather than to abandon the
children and their mothers. The church
however, as church, has obeyed the
law, but I, as an individual, have taken
that chance"
When questioned as to the right
of his first wife to consent or object
to. the taking of other wives by her
husband, Smith after reading from the
revelation, which said that If the wife
did not consent she should be destroyed
by the Lord, he declared her opinion
had no weight on the subject. All
presidents Of the church and all those
prominent in business and professional
circles OF Utah, he said, had had plural
wives. b
Hoar, referring to the scriptural in.
junction that bishop of church
should be sober and have one wife, was
interrupted by the witness with the
interjection of that "at least" was in
that injunction.
Smith said it was made to people in
Judea in the midst of polygamous
people, and that it was obligatory on
the bishop to have one wife, because
the Lord recognized that bishop
should be an experienced man. laugh
teri
Smith positively denied that any
public teaching of the principle of poly
gamy had taken place since 1890, des-
pite the assertions of the anti-mormon
press,
A recess was then taken. This after
noon Taylor will read complete rev.
elation regarding polygamy and ex-
tracts from other standard works of
the church.

Little Arthur Hall. aged years.
left his home in Peaceful Valley this

never received q spanking. This
morning he was found in one of the
suburbs of the city and was unable
to give the direction of his home.
A driver brought the little fellow

Telephone employees seem to be
running a bunco game in Spokane.
Patrons who can be induced to put
up telephone charges three months
in advance and keep them paid three
months In advance are made to do 1t
by some of the agents. Those who
decline are threatened with the re-
moval of their phones If they do not
comply. but If they refuse to be
taken in by the scheme, call the bluff
and tell the agent man to take out
the phone If he wants to, are politely
informed that seeing it's you," etc,
the company will not demand the
three months payment in advance.
Handsome Surplus.
No agent Of the company would
make such demand to some Of the
citizens of Spokane. If all phones
were made to pay three months In ad-
vance, however. the company would
have a handsome surplus fund con-
stantly on hand. There are at least
5000 phones In Spokane. The prices
run from $3.50 up. If they average
50 month each, which, in fact is a
low estimate. or Sc in advance for
three months for each phone, the
company would have the handsome
fund of $4,000 constantly on hand
for it's use for which it had given
the patrons no service.
A constant fund of $4,000 would
pay s per cent interest on $720, 000
