MORMONISM A
REAL MENACE
Minneapolis Woman Says Utah
Will Cause the Government
Much Trouble.
THE MORMON WOMEN
SEEN IN NEW LIGHT
Miss Bonsall Tells of Her Horrify-
ing Experiences Among
Them.

The highest officials of the Mormon
church lie cheerfuliy about polygan1,
and all Mormon children are taught to
speak falsely Of subjects Of the church.
Mormon women submit to what Gentiles
regard as degradation because ''polygamy
is in their blood. =
Many plural wives dress exactly alike
SO that others of the same husband may
not be Jealous Of the others attire.
Mormon women ostracize Gentle women
from society, and Gentle business men
who speak against the church are boy
cotted.
Utah Is practically bit Of foreign ter
ritory in the United States and Mormon
ism is a menace of greater magnitude
than Is realized.
These are few Of the things learned
by Miss Marian Bonsall of Minneapolis
in several months residence among
Mormons in the rural districts of Utah.
Miss Bonsall is associate editor Of the
Housekeeper and she went into the
Mormon country TO study th s cond ann;n n
of articles, the first of which appears in
the July number Of the magazine. She
| wanted to know whether, as has been
asserted, polygamy is still practiced to
any extent, and It's effect upon the
women and children.
| What Miss Bonsall has to say about
polygamy in Utah has peculiar interest
because Of the manner in which she OBJ
tanned her facts: Polygamy has been
attacked often, but always when some
violent agitation was afoot, such as
that which demanded the unseating of
| Congressman Brigham III. Roberts OF
Senator Reed Smoot. At those times
the disturbed conditions in Utah made
a search for facts difficult Now Miss
Bonsall has gone into the state when
both Mormons and Gentiles are undis
turbed. She lived both in cities anc
rural districts for several months, aTc
obtained information particularly con
heretofore has been little discussed
Her experiences were novel and anus
4 ing, as well as sheerifying.

Washington, June Git is intimated
in official circles here that negotiations
are proceeding looking toward an armis-

one or both governments as to their
Willingness to agree to an armistice.
There viii be no official fa an1 S;9;a?e.
Of an armistice before the president re-
turns, nor is il. certain that even then
there will be anything to make public.
The feeling in official circles here is
strongly in favor Of a cessation Of hos
tilities, as it is believed that a clash
before the peace conference would ham

and might prove a serious menace to
their efforts for peace.

st. Petersburg, June 21.-President
Roosevelt evidently has taken a new
and important step in the negotiations
between the beliigerents.
While there are collateral reasons for
believing that it relates to an :,rnlistice
which will prevent the impending battle
in Manchuria, this cannot be positively
affirmed. All that can be stated def
nitely is that Ambassador Meyer went
suddenly to the foreign office late last
night and had an interview with For
eign Minister Lamsdorff, at which it
is believed the ambassador communi-
GATED an important message from
President Roosevelt. but at neither the
bassy is the slightest light thrown on

From the extreme secrecy observed,
the matter, beyond doubt. is one Of the
greatest dehcacy, but as the statement
is youched for. at the foreign office
that the negotiations are proceeding
without a hitch, the inference follows
that it relates to a new phase in which
