WERE NOT PUT
ON THE STAND
Smoot Case Closed Without Suther'
land and Thomas.
ARGUMENT BEGINS TODAY
JUDGE TAYLER WILL OPEN AND
CLOSE.
(special ID L. HeraldO

IAF ASHINGTON, Jan. 25.-A surprise
wv was sprung in the Smoot inquiry
today when the attorney for Sen
ator SmOOt Unexpectedly announced
that all the evidence in behalf of their
client had been presented, and that they
rested their case.
Interest in the inquiry had increased
in anticipation of hearing Senator-elect
Sutherland and Postmaster Thomas.
Both these prominent Utah men were
in attendance today and there was an
ticipatfon in the minds of the Specta-
tors that the session would develop
some interesting testimony. There
were special expectations of this sort
that on INSTRUMENTATION Attorney
Tayler would make things uncOmfOTta-
bic for both the distinguished witnesses
and might be able to force admissions
which would not be favorable to the
SmoOt side. While some persons re-
garded Attorney Tayler as a real bug
aboo in the eyes of Senator elect Suth-
erland and Ex-Governor Thomas, there
were also suggestions that Attorneys
Worthington and Van Colt determined
on this line of action as a good stroke
in behalf of their client to create the
impression of confidence in the sue
cessful conclusion of their fight in his
behalf.
Senator Smoot. when asked why the
two witnesses did not take the stand,
replied: IT would only have been re-
peating evidence given by previous
witnesses and we thought that was not
necessary"

SUICIDE FAVORED
New York Female Society Wants to
Restrict the Output of
Children.

New York, Jan. 25--The Women's So
Ciety for Political Study has discussed
the injustice done to children in large
families. where the parents are unable
u support them properly and. after due
consideration, those present came out
strongly in support Of race suicide.
The discussion was started by the
reading of the weekly municipal report.
It developed that the society desires
auti-paupeTism laws that shall restrict
the propagation of the human species.
The speakers expressed the belief that
such laws would furnish the solution
of the child labor question, of over
crowded schools and all other COM
plants that hang upon the rapid in
crease of children.
I'VE are wasting sympathy" de-
clared one speaker, ION people who
surround themselves with large num-
bers of little ones when they cannot
possibly feed them. Let the parents
starve if they bring paupers into the
world"

signed TO active service when they ex-
coed those of major on the active list.
Mr.. Lodge declared the provision was
directed at General Miles and was most
unfair

the New York Member
Was Shut OFF.

Washington. Jan. 25.-Upon conven-

The paragraph in the bill relating 10
charities and corrections furnished the
text for a speech of Mr.. Baker of New
York. who assaiIed the protective tariff
system and repeatedly called on some
one of the Republican side TO deny his
allegations. Finally Mr.. McCleary of
Minnesota, in charge of the BILL said
that while he disliked to interfere with
thi Storrent," he would insist that Mr.
Baker be required 10 confine his re-
marks to the bill.
The minority leader. Mr.. Williams of
Mississippi, supported Mr. Baker, say
ing il seemed to him that Mr.. McCleary
was afraid that the argument of Mr..
Baker was undermining his founda ton,
adding that it would be desirable, in
the interest of the Republican party,
for Mr.. McCleary to withdraw his point.
MIR. McCleary was insistent, however.
and Mr. Mann. in the chair, cautioned
Mr.. Baker that he could not agree that
a discussion of all the ills in the world

as the one under consideration.
