THE CASE OF REED sMooT
Inquiry Before the Senate Investiga-
ton Committee Brings Out Facts
Concerning Mormonism

Washington, March 1.-THE Reed
Smoot hearing yesterday brought out
the fact that the Mormon church insists
on controlling the votes of it's members
Andrew Jensen, assistant historian Of
the Mormon church, testified that he had
never known of prosecution OF a polyg-
amist who continued to cohabit with
plural wives he had married prior to the
manifesto of 1890.
Washington, March 12-The only
witness On the stand yesterday in the
investigation of the Smcot case before
the senate committee on privileges and
elections, was E. B. Critchlow, former
assistant United States attorney for
Utah. He continued his history of the
Mormon church.
Washington, March 14.-That Reed
Smoot could not have been elected to the
United States senate without having first
been chosen as an apostle of the Mormon
church and that after he was so chosen
he could not have been defeated, was as
serted by Judge Ogden Hiles, assistant
United States attorney from 1886 to 1890
and later a judge Of the district court OF
Utah, who was a witness Saturday in the
Smoot case before the senate committee
on privileges and elections. The COM
mittee adjourned subject to the call OF
the chairman.

RIVERS OVER THEIR BANKS.

Wilkesbarre, Pa, March 1.-THE
city of Wilkesbarre and the Wyoming
valley have suffered immense loss by
floods At Plymouth the entire bust
ness section of the town was under wa
ter. Only few business houses es-
capped the flood and as a result the
merchants have lost thousands of dol
lars worth of goods.
At Middletown between 700 and 800
houses were surrounded and could only
be reached by entering the second-story
windows, and many houses were en-
tirely ruined.
Summing up the situation in brief
over s1,0OO,OOo worth Of property has
been destroyed in the Wyoming valley
and over 1000 families rendered home
less. Though the river was falling at
Wilkesbarre towns in the vicinity OF
Bloomsbury were experiencing the
worst flood in their history. Five spans
Of the great steel bridge erected by the
state at Catawissa were swept from
their piers and carried 400 yards by

suspension of mining throughout the

When the Halliday twins were ba

enough, for they shared everything
from their baby carriage to chicken
pox.
AS they grew little older, however
there were slight differences between
Elnora and Eudora, but Mrs. Halliday
took no account of them. When they
had reached the age of seven, she still
referred to them in way which struck
casual listeners as amusing.

A Queer Accident.

An accident occurred to a logging
train near Burwel that has proved
more serious than the first report sug-
gested. One of the cars broke in two
and the front part derailed, the engine
dragging it for distance of between
five and six miles. One of the wheels
on the front truck was broken off, and
the engine dragging it over the ties,
caused it to act as huge saw Or knife,
cutting off the ends of the ties in
pieces about foot long and hurting
them upon the track in front of the
car This went on for the entire dis
lance between Burwell and the North
ern Pacific junction before the engineer
noticed it, cutting off the ends of over
10000 ties.
The story seemed almost incredible,
but is nevertheless fact. All travel
over that piece is necessarily slow,
while all freight traffic is suspended.
It will take several days to repair the
damage.
