The morning Astorian. [volume] (Astoria, Oregon) 1899-1930, 1904-03-04

Washington, March 5.--In the Gmoot
case today attorneys for the protest
ants In the investigation said that they
intended TO prove that the defendant
lis associated with the organization
which practices polygamy and connives
at violations OF the law. and that his
very vote as senator Of the United
States IL subject TO the command OF
the Mormon church. President Joseph
y. Smith confessed that he himself had
continued TO cohabit with plural fam
lily since the manifesto Of 1890. and
that he realized fully that he was vio-
lating state laws. President Smith
also testified that Reed Smoot tried
10 get the consent Of his associate
apostles I'm the church before he could
become candidate for senator. The
confession OF President Smith was the
sensation OF the proceedings today be-
fore the senate committee on privi-
leges and elections.
Mr.. Smith said that the manifesto
OF 1890 had left him and others with
plural families in the unfortunate po-
sItlon OF being compelled 10 defy the
law and TO desert their families For
himself he had preferred TO take
chances with the law" rather than dis
grace himself and degrade his family
~
by abandoning wives and children they
had born him. and admitted that he
had children by all his Ave wives since
the manifesto.

President Roosevelt for having invited

Following lis the text of Mr. Cleve-
lands letter;
princeton. N. j.. March /, 1904
Hon. e. w. Webb, House of Represen-
tatives--Dear Sir: 1t Is a matter OF
small concern to me that Mr.. Scott
has seen fit to use my name in a dis
play of his evil propensities on the
floor of the house of representatives,
"In answer to your inquiry. however,
I have to say Of this statement that
the colored man, C. H. ], Taylor, took
lunch with me at the White House,
that 1t is deliberate Justification out
OF the whole cloth.
"As far as Mr.. Taylor is concerned
understand, prior to his appointment
as register Of deeds at Washington
that he had served as an assistant in
the office of the city attorney OF Kan
sas City. His nomination as register
was confirmed by the senate, and he
served in that place with intelligence
and with efficiency. He has since died.
Some people restrain themselves from
abusing the dead.
my inquiries concerning Mr.. Taylor
before his appointment, my observa-
ton of him during his incumbency
and the little have known of him
since convince me that his character
is very unjustly attacked in the dia-
tribe of Mr., Scott. One charge is made
against Mr.. Taylor by Mr.. Scott which
he doubly clinches with truth when he
declares, He was a black negro Il
am led, however, to doubt his familiar

Forces His Way Into War Department
and Causes Panic.
Washington, March s.--Armed with
a revolver william J. o'Brien. alias
William Duffy, an insane discharged
soldier, today entered the war depart
ment and going to the mail and rec
ord division shot Robert J. Manning, a
messenger and Arthur Wicker, a
clerk, and another bullet narrowly
missed Miss Emma Sexton, another
clerk. The injury to Manning is on
the right side and is regarded as dam
geroug. Wicker was shot in the arm.
Before the maniac could fire again he
was overpowered by James ]. Daw-
son, a messenger.
1t required the combined strength Of
half dozen men to finally subdue the
man. Prominent among them was
Lieutenant General Adna r. Chaffee,
chief Of staff. The lunatic still held
the smoking weapon in his hand when
General Chaffee noticed it and with
his left hand took the weapon from him
and also some papers In his pockets
Majors Kearn and. Ireland, Of the sur
geon- generals stan, were hastily sum-
moned and gave first aid 10 the in
jured men before they were taken to
the emergency hospital.
o'Brien. or Duffy. came to the war
department early and hung around the
building for more than an hour. He
was escorted to the record division by
Charles Brandt. the chief Of the divi-
sion, and expressed dissatisfaction with
his discharge papers. Then, without a
word of warning. he drew pistol from
his pocket and aimed 1t directly at Mr.
Brandt's head. Brandt ducked and the
bullet entered the arm of Mr.. Wicker
He then turned the weapon on Miss
Saxton and fired. She. too, lodged and
the bullet struck Manning. There were
five other clerks in the room at the
time and but for the quickness of Mes
senger Dawson the maniac undoubt-
edly would have shot them all. Daw-
son. however. grabbed him and held
him until assistance came.

not consider the total appropriation
OF sss.OO0,OOO carried by the bill as
excessive under the present policy in
the orient. he, however, crltlclzeo
that policy. as did other democratic
speakers. Money spoke Of the prow-

authority as predicting that in few
months the Russian fleet would be over
