A Mayor Assaulted.

Mayor Joel H. Cutchin and City
Councilman J. G. Page engaged in
personal encounter in Market Square in
Roanoke yesterday in which fists and feet
and heavy walking stick, carried by
the city's chief executive, were freely
used, and as the result of which Mayor
Cutchin is confined to his bed with a
broken arm, a cutand bruised face. Mr..
Page emerged from the fight with minor
bruises about the head and face. The
trouble was the outcome of a vigorous
arraignment ofthe Mayor by Mr.. Page at
Tuesday night session of the City Coun-
Gil. Mr.. Pages remarks wereprlnted In
part in newspaper and created SEN
sation. Mayor Cutchin, armed with
pistol and carrying heavy leather walk
lug stick with a metal rod through it,
went to Mr. Pages place Of business,
and finding that gentleman in the street
attacked him with the C. ne, striking him
on the head. The councilman seized

Mayor Cutchin was knocked down, but

above the elbow. Wounds on his head
and face were sewed up and he was re-
moved to his home in carriage. The
Mayor claims he was struck by brass
knuckles or scale weights. The Mayor
did not use his pistol, though it is alleged
he made an attempt to draw it. The
principals and Johnston have been sum
moned to appear in the police court today,
but it is doubtful if Mayor Cutchin will
be able to appear. Messrs. Cutchin and
Page have long been bitter political
enemies.

The Mormons.

Testimony of an unprintable charac-
ter was read in executive session yester-
day by the Senate committee on prigi-
leges and elections, which isinquiring in
to the right of Reed Smoot, the Mormon
apostle, to sit as Senator for Utah.
This evidence related to the divorce
proceedings in the case of Tessdale,
fellow apostle with Smoot in the Nor
mon hierarchy, and the committee adj
journed the public hearing during this
phase of inquiry, because Of an unwill-
ingness to hare the facts spread broad
cast.
Showing equal candor with his father
Joseph F. Smith, president Of the Nor
mon Church, Hyrum. NJ. Smith, who is
one of the twelve apostles, informed the
committee that as far back as 1894 he
had made speech in which he Informed
his co-religiouists that they all could do
as they pleased about obeying the laws,
with the qualifying admOnition that each
must be prepared to bear the consequences
of his act.
Smith, jr., was one of the several Off
GERS of the Mormon Church who were
witnesses today. Another was his father
President Smith, who was recalled. All
of the men examined testified that they
had plural wives, and had continued to
practice polygamy since the manifesto Of
1890.
Loren Harmer, formerly bishop Of
the Mormon Church, yesterday gave the
first testimony in fayorof thedeiense that
has been offered thus far in the eight days
of the hearings. He said he was conyic-
Ted of the crime of adultery, and that he
believed Reed Smoot was responsible for
his arrest.
Just before adjournment the prosecu-
ton stated that it had no more witnesses
ready to put on the stand on account Of
the failure of several summoned officials
Of the Mormon Church to appear.

Wilkesbarre, Pa, March 1O,-The

proposition to declare a strike by the BIZ
luminous miners on April lst, and the
decision must be made on Tuesday next
by the men who will be affected This
announcement was made today by the
district president who Seriously opposed
the granting of the voting privilege on
the ground that the vote Of the hard coal
men, whether for or against the strike
proposition, would be criticisedas due to
desire to escape strike relief assessment
or boom the anthracite trade. District
President Dettrey, says that a strike will
be voted on a big majority.
