Twenty -four Mormon elders, includ-
ing a son of the late Woolford Wood
ruff, president of the Mormon church,
held three public conferences" in st.
Paul yesterday. They devoted the
Sabbath to the instruction of local con-
verts in the doctrines of the Mormon
church. After the evening conference
Elder Alfred M Croft, president of the
conference, declared:
Yes, I believe in the doctrine of
polygamy; I believe it was, and is,
doctrine of our church; I believe it
was a revelation from God.
Although it is a doctrine we ac-
cept, it is no longer put in practice;
and it is not a taught doctrine.
1.-The practice of polygamy was stop
ped by a manifesto which President
Woodruff issued in 1890 as the result of
the bar that the civil law had put upon
polygamous marriages; we don't say
that polygamy will never be practiced
again-we claim it won't be-"
Elder Croft had expressed his assent
to the published statement made Sat-
urday at Salt Lake City, by Edna L.
Lampson- Smith, one of the five wives
mon church. Mrs. Smith, one of the
two Lampson sisters who were stimuli
taneously sealed" as wives to Presi-
dent Smith, said:
81 am a plural wife and 1 am proud
of it. 1 believe firmly in the doctrine Of
pOlygamy; in fact, 1 know that the rev.
elation of Joseph Smith on polygany
was the direct command of God"
Twenty four Elders Attend.
At Room 5, Central hall, Sixth and
Seventh streets, where the conference
was held, the two dozen elders ad
dressed an average audience of seven
ty-fve people, of whom majority,
said Elder Croft, were converts to Nor
monism. A third of the meeting con-
sisted of women and children. There
were many young girls; a maid of six
teen years played the piano accompan-
iment when a solo was sung by a
rOund-faced, mustached elder.
1--WE have thirty converts in ST.
Paul." said Elder Croft, "two- thirds of
them are adults A number of the
people here tonight come from out of
town. In Minnesota altogether we must
have a hundred converts.
yes, we have missionaries all over
the United States. Of the twenty-four
at this meeting, one, c. l.. Ruckert,
is president of the Milwaukee branch;
he's a German and works among the
German population. We also have with
us Asahel H. Woodruff, of Chicago,
president of the Northern states mis-
sion. He's a son of a former head of
our church. No, I don't know whether
he used to practice polygamy; he
doesn't now, certainly. None of the
elders here mas more than one wife

large number of lawyers, representing
some of the best talent in New York,
Philadelphia and other cities, are in
Washington tonight, and others will be
here tomorrow, in the expectation of
the United States supreme court hand
ing down it's momentous decision in the
Northern Securities case
In all the number, however, and
among the leading officials of the ad-
ministration, there is no individual who
even pretends to know when the de-
cision will be given. Decisions are al
ways handed down on Monday, and it
has been expected weekly since the
midwinter recess of the court that the
merger case would be disposed of. But
1t is all guess work, and outsiders are
not only at loss to say the judgment
will be given, but they are utterly in
the dark as to the purport of the forth
coming decision. Even Attorney Gen
eral Knox, who, some persons have
supposed, would know when to expect
the decision, has no intimation as to
the date. Walter E. Clark.
