Order Respecting Neutrality Hailed As

Example of High Craftsmanship.
Special to The Journal.
London, March 12.--No act of Pres
ident Roosevelt has been approved
more emphatically in European CAPT.
tails than has the strong pronounce
ment, in an executive order to federal
officials, on the subject of neutrality.
The communication is almost every
where regarded as an exemplifcation
of high craftsmanship and as calcu-
lated to have an immense official in
fuence among the neutral powers.
In it's effect upon the belligerents, it
Is expected to prove equally beneficial
calming the agitation in Russia, whose
press has been under grave misappre-
hension as to the policy of the Wash
1ngtOn government, and checking Jap
anese impulsiveness SO far as that has
been over stimulated by friends of the
island empire in the United States.
There is no doubt that the Russian
people have been profoundly de-
pressed by the displays Of pro-Japan-
csc feeling in America, Utterances
favorable to Japan in congress have
been. reproduced in the papers of ST.
Petersburg and Moscow and their APP
pearance has caused fresh Outburst
Of anti-Ame
1t appears to be the program of the
organs of the Beza brezoff- Alexieff
party to wheedle France and Germany
into a combination against what they
call the aggression Of Great Britain,
the United States and Japan" These
sheets are constantly prophesying an
extension Of complications, altho their
predictions are inuendoes rather than
open assertions. Roosevelt's course
will deprive them of more than half
their stock in trade. .cH 49,

died who were 5centenarians In several cases
they have been considerably over hundred

FRIDAY AFTERNOON
Attorney CritchIoW Does Not Believe
SmoOt Is Polygamist.

Yesterday afternoon Senator Bev-
eridge questioned the witness in re-
gard to the general reputation of SEN
ator Smoot, particularly as to whether
he is a polygamist. =.
Mr.. Critchlow had never heard it.
charged that Mr.. Smoot has more.
than one wife. Asked concerning the
protestants against Mr.. Smoot, he gave
the list, accompanied by a statement
as to their business connections, and
as a result a number of them will be
called as witnesses. In answer to in
quiries, Mr.. Critchlow said that he had
drafted the protest againstrMr. Smoot.
Reference was made to the neces-
sity of the Mormons getting the con-
sent of their associates to go into
certain business projects and the eff
feet of proceeding when such con-
sent was withheld. Mr.. .CritchloW
said that it was the. opinion Of non
Mormons and of many of the Nor
mons that If the officials, such as
apostles, should enter politics. there
was no chance for -laymen and they
would not dare to aspire to high po-
litical honors. The necessity OF apos-
ties getting consent is equivalent to
church Endorsement when that con-
sent is given, said the witness. 49,

aspire to Office said Senator Bever-
idge. What would happen If they
did,"
"They would be disfellowshipped

! over municipal affairs. .-.
| The people were demanding NUM-
cipal ownership for an electric light

| mayor, who took the case to Charles
| Kelly, president of the stake. Ac-
cording to Mr.. Critchlow Mr.. Kelly
then received a revelation from the
Lord that a company should De
| formed to take the lighting plant and
that he, should be it's president. The
revelation was submitted to the gener-
al conference at Brigham City and re-
iected. Many of the Mormons who

Senator Shoots Power.
| The witness, when asked concerning
! Senator Shoots power. to prevent the
| violations Of the laws in regard te
polygamous Capitalization, said:
"By one word Smoot could either
stop what is going on or cease to be
an apostle"
When the suggestion was made thai
President Smith would not allow {
person to have sthe Endorsement OF the
church for senator unless that person
subscribed to Mr.. Smiths religion. MI
Critchlow said he believed Mr.. Smith
would not permit person to become
