Shortage In Melon Crop.

There is going to be a big short
age in watermelons this season, ac-
cording to Isaac Gotten, Chicago's Is
well-known watermelon king" He
has made tour of the southwestern
part of Texas and gives a very gloomy
account of the condition of the crop.
The San Antonia q Arkansas Pass
Railroad expected to ship ont /, 200
carloads of watermelons, but from all
present indications, the haul will net
be over 800 carloads. This great
falling off is attributed to lice on the
vines. Floresville expected to ship
1926 cars, but the haul will not ex.
ceed 90. Nj. Gotten has contracted

lice has not put in all appearance, sc

(HIASHINGTON. d. G. March 1i.-It
wv is expected a recess will be taken
in the Smoot hearing after to-
morrow's session until the attendance
can be secured of witnesses for whom
subpoenas have been issued. The COM
mittee is DESTROYS especially of hearing
the testimony Of Apostles Merrill and
Teasdale.
It was difficult today 10 secure a quo
rum of the committee TO continue the
hearing. and during the greater part Of
the afternoon session but four mem
bers-BurrOws. Beveridge. Dillingham;
and Overman-were present. Senator
Dubois was among the absentees, hav-
/ ing been called TO st. Louis on business
matters.
The ross-examina ton of Z. b
Critchlow this afternoon brought out
several statements evidently satisfacto-
~ TO Senator SmooJ and his friends.
Worked Together in Politics.
The cross-examination developed the
fact that Critchlow associated with
John Henry Smith and other polyg-
amous Mormons IN political campaigns.
and that he had voted and worked for
Republican candidates knowing them
to be polygamists. and that he had not
reprOved them for their disobedience Of
the law. and as United States assistant
attorney he did not admonish them for
wrongdOing or prosecute them.
In response TO Senator Overman, Mr..
/ Critchlow said the Mormon church was
divided politically, though in some in
stances 1t was evident church members
were influenced by church leaders.
There was a sharp parry between the
witness and Attorney Van Cott. who
conducted the cross examination
throughout the afternoon. and the wit
ness skillfully avoided making a direct
! answer to a question whether he would
! entertain at his home John Henry
Smith or other prominent Mormons if
| accompanied by one OF his plural
I wives.
An Objection Sustained.
/ One of the few decisions in Shoots
| favor by the committee was made to-
/ day, when his attorneys objected TO the
: introduction of an article in the salt
/ Lake Telegram giving a purported in
/ terview with Smoot. in which he was
/ reported as saying he did not know that
his fellow apostles We're polygamists. II
was denied Oh behalf OF Smoot by his
] counsel that he had made any such
statement, and the article was not per
mitted 70 be placed in evidence
/ II was noticeable that Witness
/ Cr!tchlow. in giving items OF news ma
ture connected with political events i'm
tan. made use OF files OF the Salt Lake
Herald.
