Governor Brodie on Joint Statehood.
A special from Phoenix, Arizona, to
the Denver News Of last Saturday
says:
president Roosevelt never said
that he favored joint statehood said
Governor Brodie, to the News cores
pondent today.
"I know that President Roosevelt
never said such thing, because when
a few weeks ago, l mentioned to him
that such a measure might be proposed
by Arizona's enemies, his reply was:
" 4 have no voice in the statehood
question. If | interfere the Senate
would tell me to mind my own bust
ness.
Democrats Favor Single Statehood.
The Democratic members of the
committee on territories of the House
and Senate held a conference on Fri
day morning which was attended by
Senator German and Representative
Williams, the Democratic leader of the
minority in the Senate and House, re-
spectively. The question of statehood
for the territories was the cause OF the
meeting. The trend of the Democratic
sentiment is in favor of single state
hood and the indications are that the
Democrats will strongly oppose the
plan OF making but two states out OF
New Mexico, Arizona Oklahoma, and
Indian Territory. They desire to keep
up the struggle for the fulfillment OF
the promises made in both the Repub-
lican and Democratic national plat
forms for separate statehood for New
Mexico, Arizona, Oklahoma and In
dian Territory. The question OF con-
certed action along this line was dis
cussed with the Senate and House
leaders on the same morning.

THE PROPORTION
OF POL LYGAMISTS
Senator Dubois Shows it to Be Much
Larger Than Smiths Testimony
Indicates.

Washington, March with Presi-
stand for the defense, the second week
of the investigation of the Smoot case
opened today. Senator Dubois put in
to the record that census figures of
Utah for 1880. which showed that in
stead of three or four per cent in poly
gamy as Smith asserted there were
about 23 IA per cent of the Mormon
population of pofygamous age, who
were living in state of polygamy in
1890. Dubois expressed the opinion
that there had been no material reduc-
tion since that time. WorthingtOn
conducted his examination of Smith to
ascertain the process undergone in
cases Of communication.
In answer to question Smith said
that Reed Smoot became an apostle
on April g. 1900 Worthington asked
when Smiths last child was born and
the prophet replied: 81 don't know as
that has any bearing on the case but |
believe it was the day that Smoot be-
came an APOSTLE
Worthington then inquired whether
at any joint meetings of the first presi-
dency and the apostles, the question
of polygamous cohabitation had been
discussed Smith said it had not. He
declared that when Smoot became an
apostle the status of most of the poly
gamists had been fixed many years be-

said that Smoot had never advised for
or against the continuance of polyga-
nous cohabitation. Worthington read

tives elected from Utah since the man.

asked, "Was he Norman or a gen.

Vladivostock, March 7-Outside of a
killing of woman and slightly
wounding five men, in yesterdays
bombardment of Vladivostock, the
Japanese feet did no material damage
A wooden cottage of an artisan was
the only building wholly destroyed. It
was pierced by the shell of twelve
inch gun which after traversing the
roof and the wall fell in the yard kill
ing the woman referred to. The fact
that the Russian batteries did not re-
ply to the Japanese bombardment was
partially due to the slight chance OF
hitting the enemy's warships at such
range and partially because of the de-
sire not to betray the position of the
batteries 1t is now thought that the
attacking squadron consisted of battle
ships, four armored cruisers and two
unprotected cruisers.
Search for Japanese Being Made.
Vladivostock March Last night
passed quietly. A strict search is be-
ing made throughout the town for
Japanese, and rewards are offered for
