is for their general welfare.
Az forthe=chief Of police aud the
patrolmen, they are simply ODE ying
orders, and I, as mayor of our beau
tiful city, hold myself responsible
for their acts. That is, I, and not
they, am responsible to the people
of our city. The order has gone
forth that intoxicated men shall not
be allowed upon the streets Of Vir-
ginia and do not doubt that the
police force will obey it to the let
ter. Those furnishing men liquor
after they are drunk will not be al
lowed to kick them out into the
street after their money isz gone,
but instead they will be required to
protect both their persons and their
cash while they are in such :condi-
ton as to be unable to protect eth
er themselves or theiT pocketbook.
To the. anonymous writer I would
say, give your indignation ball

Hoping that you will give this

YOU rs truly,

--.. Mayor.
The anonymous letter to which
Mr.. Fay refers is as follows:
" Virginia, Mimi, March 80, 1904.
Hon. NJ. L. Fay, Mayor.
Respected Sir:-This is expected,
to be and. ought to be. the best
spring that Virginia has ever had.
The merchants, restaurants, hotels,
boarding houses, saloon keepers,
professional men and citizens gen,
orally expected to have a big spring
trade and business, and if things
were normal such ought to be the
case and their expectations realized.
All persons, even those who oppos-
ed your election as mayor, would
like to see your administration a
success, for even your political op-
ponents must recognize your ster-
ling integrity and good intentions.
But after all the foregoing antici.
patton, what is the real situation
and condition here? The lumber
jack is needed and out to be invited
to the city; without him Virginia
will grow grass in the streets this
year. Your police officers are too
strict, or at least some of them use
bad Judgment. Give the lumber
jack a chance to spend his money,
which can be done and complete
order still kept. Lumberjacks are
afraid to come to Virginia, as the
word has gone out that if man
strikes Virginia who is not dressed
in a dress coat and a white collar
he will be hunched2 out of town:
Three men who were quiet, but
poorly dressed, each with 500 ia his
pockets, have today gone to Eveleth
because, az they said, the police
had told them to get out. If things
go on this way an indignation
meeting will be called and some
officers will be asked to resign.
The chief of police is not right and
some of the patrolmen must be
called down. Respectfully,
| CITIZEN

1HIASHINGTON, March 3.-AttOrneys
wv FOR the protestants in the Smoot
investigation today said they in
tended to prove that the defendant is
associated with an organization which
practices polygamy ard connives at
violations of the law, and that his very
vote as a senator of the United States
is subject to the wish and command of
the Mormon church. President Joseph
+. Smith confessed that he himself had
continued to cohabit with his plural
family since the manifesto of 1890. and
that he realized fully that he was vio-
lating the laws. President Smith also
testified that Reed SmOot had to get
the consent Of his associate apostles in
the church before he could become
candidate for senator.
Sensation of the Year.
The confession Of President Smith
was the sensation OF the proceedings to-
day before the senate committee on
privileges and elections Mr.. Smith
said that the manifesto of 1890 had left
him and others with plural families in
the unfortunate situation Of being COM
PEELED to defy the law or desert their
families. For himself he had preferred
10 take chances with the law" rather
than to disgrace himself and degrade
his family by abandoning his wives and
the children they had borne him. He
admitted that he had had children by
all Of his five wives since the manifesto.
and said he had Acknowledged them
openly without interference or disturb
ance from the people OF Utah. whom he
spoke Of as liberal and brOad-minded.
The defense will take the witness to-
morrow

Lawton was i'm the path of the fire
