WASHINGTON LETTER.

The examination of Reed Smoot
Apostle, elected to the Senate from
Utah, is proceeding before the Com
mitted on Elections of the Senate,
seventeen mormon witnesses are
present, summoned aud brought
hither by the government. At
their head is the venerable Presi-
dent of the Mormon Church, Joseph
F. Smith, a nephew of the cele-
brated founder of that religion.
Before a committee of Senators last
week he stated that he had FIVE
wives who had borne him eleven
children, since the government
manifesto; and when asked why he
had disobeyed the law proclaimed
in that prohibition, he frankly
stated that to desert his wives and
abandon his innocent children
would be unmanly and he preferred
to receive any punishment that
might be inflicted. He said that
he had not married an additional
wife since that time and that no
Mormon had added his wives since
that prohibition was issued. The
purpose of the anti-Smoot crusad-
ers is to prove that Senator Smoot
the church and not the
State, but the president of the
denied this roundly and
repeatedly and declared that the
church had nothing whatever to
co with the election of civil officers. I
On the 23rd inst, the Senate in

on the Naval appropriation bill, as
presented by Senator Hale, of
Maine. In round numbers the bill
Will carry one hundred millions of
iollars for the next fiscal year.
While this is a very large sum
senator Hale admitted that if the
laval program is carried out, in a
ew years the naval establishment
will cost two hundred millions of

$1,000 sailors ahoat. This will
make the navy of the United States

1t is understood here that Mr.. Powell
will challenge Mr. Burnett for joint

a challenge has already been sent
through the agency of one of Mr.. Powell s
friends.
Mr.. Burnett had not received any chal-
lenge up to yesterday, but when inform

The Coal Barons will open up a series
of fifteen games at home today and this
/ will be the last real baseball to be OBJ
served in Slagtown until the daisies begin
to bloom early in the spring of 1906.
New Orleans come today for a final
try out against the Slagtown contingent
and the Vaughanites are preparing to
give these pennant floating Pelicans a
real run for their money
Rip Reagan will probably be the first
of Vaughan's twirlers to get on the firing
Franks team as he has been against
ether aggregatons there should be no
question as to the result 1t is also prob
able that Breitenstein will do the pitching
for New Orleans. Wigs worked yester-
day and French the day before. so it is
lot likely that either of these premier
slabnen will go against the Slagtown
standard bearers this afternoon.
The game today will be called at $3.50
o'clock and all past masters in the art
Of roofing should be on hand early to
get q front seat.
Pisgie Ward who has been out of the
game for sevcra days will be in the
game today and his hitting should be of
material advantage to Vaughan.
The eyes of the whole league are turned
on New Orleans just as everybody is anx-
ious to observe the result of the last
eastern trip of the Pelicans. Consequent
ly all eyes are turned on the Barons and
If Vaughan gets away with majority
of the games it will be a big feather in
his cap.
Arlie Latham comes here to umpire and
it is to be hoped that he treats us better
than he did on the road. Over in Nash
Vile he ran the game into darkness but
with the start made at $3.50 o'clock the
finish can be made in time. AS Matty
rays all the lights at the park are gone
and the games will have to be finished
before dark
Birl ingham has only twelve games
scheduled but there are three postponed

people, Mr.. Davis is a great baseball en-
thusiast. I'VE have the greatest anna
teur baseball team In the state of Ala
bama,' said he. II would like to see our
boys arrange a game with the Birming-
ham aggregation after the Southern
league season comes to an end. While
we would be outclassed. still think that
our boys would make a good showing
against the leaguers. During the coming
winter we intend to organize a company
with capital of $1,000 to back up the
baseball club. We have now one of the
finest diamonds in the state. We propose
to fence In the park erect a grand stand
and bleachers and put the baseball busi-
ness in Pell City on a paying basis
