men were convicted and sentenced I'M
der the Edmunds law.
An opportunity was given by the
courts to the persons convicted to es-
cape Jail service by promising that in
the future they would obey the law,
but the chance Of escaping punishment
was not accepted generally, only three
persons complying with the ruling of
the court. He said: Among these
was Bishop Sharp, director of the
Union Pacific railroad and an old man,
who accepted the terms. and was
promptly removed, that being under
stood to be the policy of the church
where the doctrine of the church was
not upheld by members
The history of the church between
1885 and 1890 was given by Mr.. Critch-
low, including the circulation of a story
that plural marriages had been given
up entirely and that unlawful cohabi-
tation was on the wane. The purpose
of this statement was to show that the
Normons continued to create the senti-
ment that. the laws were obeyed, but in
secret had practiced polygamy, and
that the church was irreconcilable to
new conditions and its members were
conspiring to evade the laws.
In relation to the Moses Thatcher
incident, Mr.. Critchlow said letter
had been sent out which had the pur-
pose of dividing the people as equally
as possible between Republicans and
Democrats so as to maintain re-
serve which could be swung either way
in the interest of the church. The
church afterward denied this letter,
said Mr.. CritchloW, but Moses Thatcher
continued working in the interest of
the Democratic party, and in the au-
tumn of 1896 carried on an active cam
paign for election to the United States
senate by the succeeding legislature.
This campaign was in conflict with the
wishes of the members of his quorum
of apostles and he was finally dropped
1t was taken UP as a church affair,
and, said Mr.. Critchlow, "the editorials
in the Deseret News declared that the
church had right to interest itself in
the elections for the United States SEN
ate.''
The popular sympathy was with Mr..
Thatcher, because it was understood
that he stood for absolute liberty i'll
political affairs. Mr.. Thatcher con-
tinued in the field up to the final result
of the contest, which ended in the cleo
ton of Joseph L. Rawlins as senator.
He said it was well known that the
apostles were working against Thatch-
er, their object being to prevent di-
rect blow at the principle that the
quorum of apostles could control the
action of one of their members. The
Mormons, he said, were responsible for
the election of Rawlins.
In response to an inquiry in regard
to Thatcher running for the senate on
a platform not in harmony with the
church, Mr.. Critchlow spoke of the in
f1uence of apostles, giving as an illus
tration that the apostles gave out the
instruction that sit is the will of the

BILL COMES UP
Senator Nelson Speaks in Favor of Ter
ritory's Representation.

WASHINGTON, D. c., March 1O.-The
senate today passed bills relating to
Alaska, but failed to act on the measure

people of that territory were entitled to
representation in congress. He express
ed the opinion that within the next fifty

LOCO, 900 people. He said the agricultural
possibilities of the territory were as great
as those of Finland or Northern Sweden.
The Alaskan bills passed included those
for the improvement of roads the main
tenance of schools, the appointment OF an
additional Judge and the extension OF the
coal laws to the territory.
Several other bills were passed, includ-
ing one increasing to 500 the pensions
of ex-soldiers who have. become totally
blind on account of service. In connec-
ton with this bill Mr.. McCumber, chair
man of the committee on pensions; stated
that 600 cases were covered by the pro-
visions of the bill and that the increased
cost to the government would be Sl0l,-
500 annually.
