WASHINGTON, d. c., Jan. 17.-At-
torneys for Senator Smoot today put
upon the stand witnesses to discredit
the testimony of the three witnesses for
the protesfants who gave what they al
legged to be the oaths taken by Nor
mons who go through the temples and
take the endowment ceremony of the
Mormon church. The session was
shorter than usual today beeause-o of the
absence of Witnesses.
Judge William M. McCarty, of the
supreme court of Utah, was recalled by
Chairman Burrows and examined con-
corning the division of offices between
Mormons and gentiles. He said there
was no agreement, but that it is un-
derstood that the candidates on the
tickets shall be about evenly divided.
Richard w. Young, of Salt Lake,
president of one of the four Mormon
stakes of Salt Lake City and a mono
ganist, said the sentiment of the Nor
is decidedly hostile to polygamy
In relation to "whisperings, in politics
he said he knew of no instance where
the whispers" had been traced to any
Mormon authorities. So far as he was
concerned personally, he said, no per-
son had ever sought to influence his
vote.
Bishop and Traitors
Mr.. Taylor called attention to dis
patch from Eureka, Utah, to the effect
that at meeting, Sunday night Bishop
Daniel Conolly denounced those who
had betrayed endowment oaths at
Washington as traitors and said he
had known traitors to be shot,
Mr.. Young did not approve the refer
ence to the shooting of traitors, but
said he thought that otherwise the
bishop had expressed the sentiment of
Mormon people toward those who had
testified here concerning the endowment
house ceremonies.
Attorney Worthington, for Senator
Smoot, asked:
Is there anything in the oath that
relates to your government
Mr.. Young declined to answer. He
said he had never heard of any person
being harmed because of revealing
oaths of the endowment house.
e. D. r. Thompson, an attorney of
Salt Lake and a gentle, testified that
one of his neighbors was Bishop Nor
ris and that it was understood that he
had three wives and has children by
them since the manifesto.
Charles ,DemoiSh, of Salt Lake, COM
missioner of the state bureau of sta
tistics and a nom Mormon, testified
that he thought the story of church in

Mullikan for the state yesterday, in
which he identified the word sample"
on the bottle of poison as being the
handwriting of DR.. Koch. He said that
the state had sprung surprise on
them and that they were not prepared
to call any of their experts on hand
writing, as they had left the city. The
motion was denied by Judge Webber.
Two letters which had been intro
duced in evidence purported to have
been written by DIR. Koch were yolun-
tarily withdrawn by the state on re-
quest of the defense
Gen. childs' Address
AT this point the state rested it's
case and at $3.50 o'clock Gen. II. w.
Childs made his plea to the jury and
consumed five hours, finishing at 4
o'clock. 1t was a strong plea. He
carefully reviewed all the testimony
adduced by the state and the defense.
He impressed the jury with the great
responsibility which it had assumed
and expressed the hope that the jurors
would do their full duty. and render a
verdict which their conscience dictated
according to the evidence. He said that
many states were closely watching
every phase of the case and We're ea-
gerly awaiting its termination.
Gen. Childs pictured the bright fu-
ture of DR.. L. A. Gebhard and the pur-
ity and uprightness of the murdered
man, and portrayed the agony and
heartrending scenes enacted when all
that was mortal of the dead dentist
arrived at the home of his aged mother
at Black River Falls, Wis.
In summing up the evidence submit
ted by the state he cleverly linked
each movement and circumstance con-
nected with the homicide and dis
puted the contentious of the de-
fense. In his mind it was a premedi-
tated murder in which the accused man
had cherished for long period the ut
most contempt for his professional
rival and which finally was the cause
of most brutal murder, shocking the
entire state and northwest. He fol-
lowed the movements of DR.. Koch on
the evening Of the murder from the
time he left the offices of Hoidaie &
Somsen until his arrival home, de-
scribed minutely his many suspicious
movements, and told the jury that it
was one of the strongest cases OF CIR

Soil
The land of Swift county is unsur-
passed in the Northwest for agricul-
ture and stock raising, mixed farming,
being a rich rolling prairie drained by
the Minnesota, Pomme de Terre and
Chippewa rivers, as well as numerous
lakes. The soil being a very rich black
loam mixed with just the right guam
tity of sand makes this land not only
richly productive and very durable, but
enables it to withstand the excess of
either drouth or moisture. For twen

Gus properties as we'll as the sound
ness of our commercial ratings. 1t is
a common remark among men who
have watched the transformation of
the wilderness into business marts and
the virgin soils into the productiveness
of wealth for fifty years that nowhere
else in all their observations have such
rapid changes and substantial inn
provements been apparent as here.
Based on soil unsurpassed for pro-
ductiveness and, reliability, and on the
integrity of honest toll, we can face the
future with an unfaltering trust and
enjoy the prospect of coming improve
ments and increased business activi-.
ties, stimulating us to renewed efforts
and guaranteeing to those who may
come to dwell among us the advan-
tages of Swift county. Comfortable
homes can yet be secured at moderate
prices, and he who is prudent enough
to set aside a part of his earnings and
invest in real property here now lis
sure to reap satisfactory benefit.
Those who have Travelled the farthest
and have seen the most famous fields
east and west, north and south, are
unanimous in pronouncing this coun-
try not only equal but superior to any
of them. Some parts may be prefera-
bic in one particular, others in some
respect, but in all respects Swift

whether it is feasible to build DAM
If it is found that dam is not practi-

Stratton estate through the Inheritance
tax. Mr.. Stratton died in October,
1908, leaving an estate valued at sew
eral millions of dollars.
The attorney general is starting to
collect the tax and is having prepared
a petition to be presented to the
County Court of Ell Paso county. The
state claims $36S,00O as it's share of
the estate. OF this $34S. 600 is against
the Myron Stratton Home bequest.
Under the law the tax is charged with
different fees according to the nature
of the bequest. The principal part of
the estate went to this home and is
taxed at Sc on each 800. There is a
$4,000 exemption.
The inheritance tax belongs in the
