Says Much Aid Has Been Ex-

Paris. Jan. 13.-The Associated Press
learns authoritatively that Russia's
note addressed to the powers relative
to China's breaking neutrality gives
what Russia claims to be absolute
proof of Chinese breaches. The three
main complaints are
First-That the islands of Niaotao, in
the straits of Pc Chi Ii. opposite Port
Arthur have been constantly used by
the Japanese without Chinese interfer-
ence as a strategical base and as har-
hor for Japanese torpedo boats.
Second-That the Chinese army on
the border has accepted the command
Of Japanese officers
Third-That Chinese firms have been
constantly working in behalf of the
japanese. supplying them with provis-
ions, military accOutrements and gen
eral war stores.
The note lengthily sets forth the de-
tails and complains that China has not
given satisfactory explanations Of the
breaches of neutrality and that there
fore Russia advises the powers that
she intends to use complete liberty of
action in regard to future abuse Of
neutdality.

Witness Says General Sentiment Is
Against Polygamy.

washington, Jan. 13-J. w. N.
Whitecotton, an attorney of Provo,
Utah, resumed his review of political
affairs in Utah, when the hearing
opened today in the Smoot investiga-
ton. No effort was made by the
church, he said, to restrict the polit-
icaI liberties of the people generally
or of any individuals. but it claimed
the right to receive the time and en-
ergies of men who have been elected
to important church offices. The de-
duction he drew was that the church
did not try to prevent its members
from engaging in politics without the
consent of the church. but thaI WneIl
certain members accepted important
church offices the church had right
to prevent such members from accept
ing other Offices which would take
their time. Mr.. Whitecotton said he
never had seen any difference IN ousi-
ness between Mormon and Genule,
but he thought the Mormon voters ad-
here more closely than the Gentiles to
their party Affiliations
It was shown by the witness that
Gentiles had always held the most i'm
portant state offices and that Gentle
Judges who had been active IN SEN
fencing Mormons for polygamous CO.
habitation received as large a vote as
other candidates when they came uP
for reelection. ''I think the decided
sentiment of the Mormon people OF
Utah is hostile to polygamy," said Mr.
Whitecotton. AS to the sentiment in
the state in regard to the prosecutions
for polygamy, Mr.. Whitecotton said
there had been a great deal said OF
an understanding that there should
be no prosecutions, but that he had
never heard of such a thing and did
not believe it existed. Continuing he
said:
ssBut I believe the people generally
do not want to stir this thing up and
start it smelling again-it has not a
good odor. Women went into Polyg-
amy-a delusion, probably-because
they thought plural marriage reli-
gious duty. The church prescrloes
that if a plural wife gets a divorce she
cannot be married to another nus
band, and the people realize tnat II
she is cut off by prosecutions from
her only protector, she and her chill
dren are in a precarious condition
They sympathy of Gentiles and young
Mormons opposed to polygany is all
for the women. I never heard Of any
sympathy for a male polygamist and
/ do not believe there has ever been
such sympathy for one unless perhaps
he should happen to be married to
three or four viragoes.

PLEA FOR RECIPROCITY
Made by Eugene Foss Before the EN-
pire Club.

Toronto. Ont, Jan. 13.-Eugene
Foss. of Boston, in an address to the
Empire club, made a. strong plea for
reciprocity betwees the United States
and Canada Protection, he said, was
not meant as a permanent trade policy
for any country, but rather as a tenn
porary expedient to build up infant
industries until they were in a position
to meet worldwide competition. It
did not contemplate the supporting of
pauper industries, industries foreign to
a country's soil and climate and re-
sources, nor did 1t contemplate the
building up of industries to a point
where they became monopolistic
This latter stage in the matter of reci-
procity he said was, in his opinion
notoriously erroneous. The movement
was not confined to Massachusetts nor
to the Democratic party. President
Roosevelt and other leaders of the
felt the need of cuItivating closer trade
relations with Canada. With this new
spirit in the United States, promising
more liberal view of internal rela-
tions. he hoped that Canada would
not adopt an attitude of provincial
isolation -

which would lead out of the difficulty.
Mr.. Spencer replied that the city
could do nothing as far as he could
see except go through the whole
length again of the foreclosure pre-
ceedings of the mortgages held
against the property and that the only
recourse from this lengthy legal ac-
ton would be that the Waterworks
company would bring in the third
mortgage bondholders as party to the
suit which might be instituted; an
adversary's suit and not suit for
specific information as had been sug-
gested by Mr.. Street.
With this tentative approach at the
Gordian knot the council and the at
torneys present adjourned.
No nearer approach has been ar
rived at. It is now up to the council
to decide what the next step will be.
