First Testimony in Behalf
 of the Utah Senator
AN UNEXPECTED SOURCE
It Came From Mormon Bishop Whose
 Arrest He Had Caused for Unlawful Cohabitation-Prosecution Has Ex-
 hausted Visible Supply Of Witnesses

Washington, March 9.-SeveFst sff- cials of the Mormon church testified ts- day before the senate committee that they had plural wives and had contia- ued to practice polygamous co,1abita- ton since the manifesto of 1890.
 Just before adjournment for the day the committee held an executive session for the purpose of having read the Vn- printable testimony in the Teasdale di- vorce case. The prosecution stated that it had no more witnesses ready to put on the stand on account of the failurr of several summoned officials of the Mormon church to appear. President Joseph F. Smith was asked to use his influence with the witnesses and he promised to get in communication with them if possible.
 Loren farmer. foI merly a bishop of the Mormon church, today. gave the first testimony in favor of the defense that has been offered thus far in the eight days of the hearing. He said he was convicted of the crime of adultery and believed Smoot was responsible for his arrest. The charge aSainst Har- mer was unlawful cohabitation ~ith a woman who was not his wife, and rss prosecution on account ot coAsbtbs tiOn with his plural wives. PTeSdeeA Smith and a number of officials OS ss-' church who have been witnesses ia tse 1, case today were excused from fHFtAer attendance and will return to ttsA. he a-n nEN President Smith was asked to identify
 the Book of Mormon. Then turning tn , the revelation of the prophet, Jose.h Smith. Chairman Burrows asked iu
 regard to the manner in which it was revealed and was informed by Mr- l Smith that it was revealed to him b. | God.
 1 Burrows asked if polysamy was | taught in the book and Smith said it was emphatically forbidden. Reading from the hook which is termed the
 Mormon bible, Burrows called atten- | tinn to the words of God in refcrence | to David and Solomon and his dis
 pleasure because of the fact thas they ! kept more than one wife and many | concubines. The chairman asked if that did not prohibit polygai1y and- | if that was the case. when the law of the Lord changed in order to pre-
 mote the practice.
 1 Smith took the book and read a
 verse which declared when the Lord
 wanted his seed propagated he would
 command it. This, the witness declared, i justifies polygamy when a person is
 commanded by the Lord to enter int"
 that state. He said the command
 came to individuals as revelations
 from the Lord.

tion bill in the senate today MT. Bacon protested against the acceptance of the statue of Frederick the Great of Ger many, rendered by Emperor William on the ground that the former German King was not in sympathy with the American institutions.
 MT. Stewart defended Frederick against what he characterized as MT. Racon's gross misrepresentations.
 The army appropriation bill was passed. The senate passed the Philip pine shipping bill. after speeches in op- position by Culberson and Patterson.
 MT. Bacon added some observations relative to the acceptance of the statue. prefacing his statements with the eX- planation that he meant no affront in what he might say either to the presi- dent or the German emperor or the German people. He would be pleased to have statues of many Germans erected in the capital of the United States, men distinguished in science or arts, but, he went on to say, T do not believe that the erection of the statue of Frederick the Great in this city is in accord with the wishes of the peo- pie of the United States"
 He said there is no single thing con nected with the history of Frederick that would make him an ideal for the people of the United States except his courage and his devotion to his pep pie. MT. Bacon said it is inconsistent with the traditions and hopes of the people of the United States that there should he erected here monument to the memory of man who. perhaps, to 2. greater extent than any other man in modern times was the type of ab- so'utism."
 MT. Bacon also contended that no authority short of congress with pro-
 priety could assign a file in the na-
 tional capital for statues, adding thtt
 the congress had especial control of all
 public grounds in the District of Col umbia.
 What I protest against he said, "is the idea of making the country the
 dumping groInds for statues of men who, while heroes in their own coun- try, stand for ideals different from our nwn.''
 He said he would be glad if the em- peror would send the statue of another German.

What chance has a boy got to hold his own in the fierce struggle for exist ence without skill of some kind? None at all.
