the same day. The laps also took Ia

Probably on the night Of June % or

Vladivostok again. They were accom-

squadron appeared of Gensan on the

went into Gensang harbor and sank a
japanese merchantmen and a coasting
schooner which they found there.
Then. after firing 200 shells into the
town, they sailed out to rejoin the
cruisers. Their entire visit lasted an
hour and fifty minutes.
Toxic reported that the Russian
ships proceeded southwark to Korea

Nipponese soldiers were quietly aroused

of their guns was threatened, but the
Kamada men drove the attackers off

CATION of the Mormon church has
been urged strongly by Senator Du.
bois, who throughout his entire
western political career has been OBJ
posed to the alleged domination of
the Mormon church in politics. SEN
ator Dubois represents in his opposi-
ton to Smoot what may be called
'the young Mormon idea," whose
leader is Frank j. Cannon of Ogden,
Utah, who is opposing Smoot through
his newspaper and in his public ut
terances. Senator Dubois will be an
effective force in the committee. es-
pecially with his democratic col
leagues, in making up the verdict
on Mormon church matters. Of
course, the members of the commit
tee on privileges and elections, with
several exceptions, have not ex.
pressed opinions to show that the
case against Smoot is prejudsed,
but enough has been said to Indicate
clearly that unless the investigation
is softened for political purposes,
the Mormon church will have to
show very clean bill of health if it
retains its representative in the state.
The approaching presidential cleo
ton, and the fact that the Mormon
church membership can control the
vote OF Utah, and maybe the balance
of power in Idaho and Wyoming,
may cause those high in the republi-
can party management to 'scall off,
the committee from too searching an
investigation.

SENATOR SNOOT
Will Be- OGSIED
ISSUE Is WHETHER AN APOSTLE OF THE
MORMON CHURCH IS PROPER MA
TERIAL FOR A SENATOR.

A Washington dispatch says thai
the senate committee on privileges
and elections has decided to investi-
gate the Mormon church, and the
personnel of the committee is now
of interest. AS is known, the charge
made against Sentor Smoot of Utah,
that he is polygamist has been
drouped Those who are protesting
against Shoots continuance in the
senate also practically have dropped
the charge that he took secret oath
as an apostle contrary to his oath as
senator. Consequently the inves-
LEGATION as it will be conducted will
be to determine not whether Smoot
as a man is suitable as senator. but
whether as an apostle and member of
the Mormon church he she'll retain
his seat. The committee on priv
leges and elections is composed of
thirteen members, eight republicans
and five democrats Its chairman is
Senator Julius G. Burrows of Mich
igan. Senator Burrows is LAWYER
by profession, and has been In con-
gress as member of the house aud
senate for Is terms. He has been
in the senate since 1895.
1t is known that Senator Burrows
has favored searching investiga-
ton of the practices of the Mormon
church since the question was raised
OF Shoots eligibility to the senate.
AS chairman of the committee his
influence will be great In making the
investigation far-reaching and effec-
tive. The other republican members
OF the committee are Senators Geo.
+. Hoar, Massachusetts,; Porter ]. |
McCumber, North Dakota; Joseph
b. Foraker, Ohio; Chauncy M De.
pew, New York; Albert j. Bever-
idge, Indiana William P. Dilling-

kins, Illinois. All of these are
lawyers, and several have served on
the bench. In the several committee
meetings in which the Smcot case
has been discussed, Beverdge is the
only member of the majority who
has expressed sentiments favorable
to Smoot, The minority member
