GRAPEVINE SPECIALS,
THE paper that prints anything evil
IDENTIFY dld It this morning" said a
prominenent business man IN discussing
the Tribune special from Washington.
I'm which Governor Thomas was mem
toned as a star witness who would
save smoot IL do not believe the pa
per ever received the dispatch, and
that the mental who writes In Washing
ton for them, is also paid for allowing
his name 10 be used for fake dispatch
es OF local manufacture. IL Is wei
known that Senator Kearns dislikes
Postmaster Thomas, for the reason
that he once tried to have him removed
ana failed, and later tried to have his
cashier appointed ana failed. AT that
time The local charge was made IN the
Tribune tdat Mr.. Thomas had caused
a petition IN his behalf 10 De circulated
through Pennsylvania. This same
charge IL reiterated In the dispatch this
morning, which suggests It's local origin.
Associate Counsel Waldemar Van
Colt when shown the dispatch today
said THE Tribune's Washington
correspondent could not possibly have
known the names Of our witnesses. We
furnished a partial list to Chairman
Burrows, but / have every con-
fdence that he would not make
the list public lie kept
from us the list OF witnesses
summoned by the prosecution, and We
have every reason 10 believe that no
Will maintain the same silence In re-
gard to the witnesses for the defense.
The dispatch Is either a fake or mere
guess,
A. l., THOMAS DENIES STORY.
When shown the statement that no
was 20 be the star witness to rave Sem
ator Smoot Postmaster a. l.. Thomas
laughed and said u may be but II so
II Is news to me, ! have not heard OF
It yet. The animus OF the dispatch Is
seen IN the statement that should | 70
east / could stop of IN the Keystone
state to help on a petition similar to
another which Il mentions ! never
circulated petition IN my life I'm Penn
sylvania, and / have never heard Of
one being circulated for me / have
filed the offices OF secretary OF Utah,
superintendent OF census member OF
the Utah Commission, governor Of Utah
Territory, and postmaster OF Salt Lake,
but never 20 secure any OF these Offices
have / ever circulated a petition Of any
kind or knew OF one being circulated"
Most OF the men mentioned as pos
sihle Witnesses are not members OF the
Mormon" faith. James u. Talmage,
named by morning paper, said today
that he had received no lnumaton that
ne would be subpoenaed, and would be
very much surprised 20 learn Of g. as
he knew Of nothing he could tell, How
ever" he continued, these things, like
the taxes ana the measles, will some-
times hit US. when we least expect
them"
The hearing OF the defense will begin
IN Washington, Jan, No.
