LOCAL RAILWAY COMPANIES LAY.
ING IN UNUSUALLY LARGE
SUPPLY OF COAL,
Believed That Miners Strike is I'm.
pendins-Space is Cleared in Yards
and Hundreds of Cars of Coal VIII
Be Stacked on the Ground.

There is growing belief in railway
and manufacturing circles that coal
miners strike of immense proportions
Is impending and there is a noticeable
activity among local concerns in lay
ing in an unusually large supply Of
coal for this time of year. The spirit
of unrest being manifested at the vari-
GUS miners conventions throughout
the country is viewed with considera-
BILE alarm by those who would be the
first to suffer and the railway and
large manufacturing companies while
recognizing that strike may be avert
ed believe it best to be on the safe
side.
At the Burlington round house this
morning an extra gang of about 80
men were at work clearing a space
on the ground where several hundred
cars Of coal may be unloaded. A side
track was hastily constructed and
thirty-five cars of coal that were
standing in the yards were unloaded
1t is stated that another large gang il

Married Three Wives.
Charles F. Merrill, son of Apostle
Merrill, was the next witness. He
said that he was the son OF his fathers
third plural wife, and was himself a
polygamist, that he had been married
three times, his first wife being dead
and mis- last marriage having been per-
formed in 1891. He said that he was
living with his second wife when he
married the third. Merrill said that
he now was cohabitating with both
wives, that they were living mile
apart In. different homes. When he
married his third wife he was living
with his mother, but his father was in
hiding most of the time as there were
prosecutions for polygamy going on,
Merrill said that he had twenty
brothers, seventeen sisters, and that
his father, who is now very feeble,
had six wives. He said, "My father
lives with his first wife and comes to
the nome OF my mother probably not
more than once month. My father is
very busy man." Merrill thought
that three of his brothers have married
plural wives and two of his sisters
had married into polygamous families.
Mrs. Matthews Called to Sand.
The prosecution called to the stand
Mrs. Emma Matthews, mother of Mrs.
Clara Mabel Kennedy. Mrs. Matthews
said that she had been a member of
Mormon family for twenty-five years
and was Mormon herself, that she
had been plural wife.
Is PoIygamist.
Francis M. Lyman, member of the
first presidency of the mormon church
and prospective successor Of Smith
as president of the church, followed
Mrs. Mathews. He became an apostle
in 1880, and frankly acknowledged
that he was polygamist and had been
married three times and had two wives
living. He said that by his second
wife, whom he married in 1884, he
he had five children, the last being
born in 1900. The pith of his testi-
mony was summed up in question
by Senator Hoar as follows: $50 you
are an apostle Of your church, expect
ing to succeed Smith in the presidency
and in that capacity to receive divine
revelations yourself, confess that you
are now living and expect to continue
to live in disobedience to the law of
your country, your church and God.''
The witness answered "yes," but
added that he considered it his duty
to live with and protect his wives.
Forty-Two Children.
When the manifesto Of 1890 was
promulgated Joseph F.smith, the pres
ent head Of the Mormon church had
thirty or thirty-one children - he does
not remember exactly. Now he has
forty-two = twenty-one boys and TWEEN
ty-one girls.
"And l am proud Of every one of
them," he told the senate committee
on privileges and elections yesterday
just before concluding his testimony as
a witness in the Smoot investigation.
