WASHINGTON, d. c., Dec. 15.-Au-
gust Lundstrom was recalled for cross
examination when the Smoot investi-
cation was resumed today. Attorney
Van Cott, for Senator Smoot, asked
the obligations taken in the temple as
huge joke or in the light of vaude-
Vile, performance.
Il always regarded the oaths as sa-
cred,'' he said. Then he declared that
men cannot pass through the temples
to take endewments for women.
Mr. -Lundstrom again gave to the
committee the oath, the vengeance or
law Of retribution. The witness told
also of the practice of mutilation pre-
scribed for revealing the tokens or vio
iating the covenants The whole con-
gregation passing through the temple
repeated in the first person the obliga-
ton and penalties and executed the
signs accompanying them.
lectures were delivered by the wit
ness at the Swedish Lutheran church,
in which he gave his reasons for leav-
Ing the church
Were you ever taken to task for
your statements?" asked Dubois.
: We'll, the officials. of the church cali
ed me 'lfar,'" said Mr.. Lundstrem.
He was asked if he had ever married
in polygamy.
@Only in way" he replied
"Haye you had a plural wife2"
9Yes, sir"
Then he explained that the dead
woman had been sealed to him for
eternity, but that he had never lived
with but one wife.
z Witness Is Reluctant
Jehn Nicholson, the chief recorder of
the Mormon temple at Salt Lake, was
sworn. He proved the most reluctant
witness Of al, the church officials who
have been brought before the commit
tee. BY a slow process the attorney
for the protestants drew from him the
fact that he keeps the records of mar
riages, baptisms and endowments
which are Selemnized within the tenn
pie He explained that the endow
ments are placing upon individuals
blessings that will be upon them dur
ing this life and all eternity. The wit
ness declared that no marriages had
been performed within the temple ex-
cept when the legal license had been
issued by the clerks of courts: that the
marriages performed there had always
been for time and eternity, none for
time only. Mr.. Nicholson also said
that no record of marriage ceremonies
is kept by him.

J. M. Wallis was recalled. He said
that, in addition to others, he had re-
vealed the secrets of the endowment
house to number of Salt Lake min
listers; and also to other residents of
that city. He said that he is not now
connected with the Mormon church
"at least not so far as I know. I told
one of the bishops of my desire to
withdraw" He said that Mr.. Nichol-
sons act of giving out the secrets of
the endowment house had much to do
with changing his estimate of the sa-
credness of the covenants of that in
stitution.
Later in the day Mr.. Lundstrom, ex-
planning his marriage to a. dead wom-
an, said this ceremony Is called seal
ing and is for time and eternity. He
also was sealed to his legal wife. he
said, but no record or memorandum
was given him.
Garments Are Marked
The witness said he had heard the
endowment house obligations admin
istered six times to congregations Of
from thirty to sixty persons each. Not
to take the obligation, the witness said,
is regarded as a sign of weakness to
the faith. Robes are worn in the cere-
mony. There are no marks on the
priesthood garments. These marks are
to remind the person of the covenants
he had made. The witness said there
are marks of the compass and the
square on the left and right breasts, a
rent like buttonhole over the navel
and another over the knee.
when do you wear this garment ?"
Mr.. Lundstrom was asked.
Always
Then he added that the garment was
removed long enough only to change
to clean one.
1T is supposed to be shield against
all danger, temporal and spiritual" he
said. sss
"And the marks are to remind you
of the obligations taken?" asked the
chairman.
The witness answered In the affirma
tive, repeating that the breast marks
are for the purpose of making the OBJ
ligator remember his oath not to re-
veal his covenants under penalty of
having his heart and vitals cut out.
On cross examination he said the
marks never had been explained to him
and that he put his own construction
on them because of their association
with the ceremonies.

Washington, Oct. 25.-The annual re-

ritory population has increased con-
siderably and that the total population
now is between 165 900 and 10000.
1t expresses desire on the part of
the people of Arizona for statehood,
but says that finding themselves con-
fronted with plan to unite their terri
tory with New Mexico. the people of
Arizona have protested vigorously and
will continue to do so until they have
defeated this repugnant scheme. They
would desire that their commonwealth
remain a territory indefinitely rather
than to be joined with New Mexico"
The governor adds his belief that the
merger would not be acceptable to the
mass of the people of either territory.
The report says that the floating in
debtedness of Arizona. which on June
80. 1903. was s92.341. has been wiped

AMBASSADOR MoesED.
Russian Representative Hustled and
Chased BY London Crowd.

London, Oct 25.-Count Becken-
dorff, the Russian ambassador, re-
turned to London last night from cele-
brating his silver wedding with his
wife's relatives in Silesia and barely
escaped assault from a crowd at the
Victoria station, which followed him
almost into the embassy
Fortunately for the issue of peace or
war, nothing resulted, yet throughout
the night special force of police was
compelled to guard the Russian en-
bassy.
Count Benckendorff has been always
regarded in official circles here as a
friend Of peace. and he was as much
opposed as Count Lamsdorff to the
Russo-Japanese war. Indeed, he is al
most an Anglophile in sentiment.
There is no doubt that Count Benck-
endorff was deeply hurt by last nights
demonstration.
After escaping from the hostile
crowd that met him at the station, he
drove at gallop to the embassy.
half dozen rowdies followed, but the
ambassador arrived unframed.
His noisy pursuers encountered a
Gordon OF police that had been hur-
riedly dispatched to guard the en-
bassy. After singing Rule Britain
nia," the disturbers dispersed, no ar
rests being made, but the police con-
tinued to guard the embassy as II 1t
were a British fortress.
