LEGEND Ct THE LILY.

The beautiful flower known as tn,
easter lily holds significant part in
,rt and legendary literature. it being
egurded as the emblem of perfect pu-
rity This fragrant flower originated
n China, and an interesting tale is told
If its being transported to other lands.
Almost 1000 years ago the celestial
and was ruled by the barbarous En-
peror Chow. who was horribly cruel,
sacrificing even the most favored of his
wretched subjects to gain his ends.
Fearing the safety of his life, the prime
minister, Ii Chung, planned Il mode
IF escape for himself and many of the
Chinese. In order to carry out his pur-
pose successfully he cunningly took the
emperor into his confidence, telling him
IF message that he had received from
the gods, who demanded that Il great
number of men, women. beasts and Il
large amount of fruit be sacrificed, in
return for which was promised the ma
lions prosperity. This sacrifice was to
take place on Il sea island many miles
away.
The bloodthirsty AID mercenary en-
peror WAS delighted. and after months
of labor the finest ship in the royal fleet
was made ready. with the prime min
lister as commander. On this ship were
100 of the most perfect types of men
and women, and for the feasts they
had brought the choicest food, among
which was the delicate bulb OF the lily,
which offered a dainty morsel when
prepared. The second night had passed
when LII Chung told the youths and
maidens that they We're not to be sac
riticed. but instead were to inhabit the
beautiful island to which they We're
coming and live happily as his SUBJ
jects.
And the story that reached old Chow
was of the sad wreck of the royal YES
sci carrying the men, women and
beasts who were to have been sacrificed
to the gods Thus Japan was peopled.
The ilv grew in beauty and in time
was exported in bulb form to Europe
and later to America, where it Is now

SMOOT BROKE PlEDG:
Instead of Challenging PoIygamistic
Apostolic Quorum of Mormons
He ShunS Meetino

New York, April Ex-senator Rec.
Smoot has failed to make good his pledge
to the senate committee on privileges and
elections this spring, when his case was
under invests cation. by challenging the
polygamistc character of the apostolic
quorum of the Mormon church.
This information was contained in
telegram received by Mrs. Darwin r.
James, president of the lnterna tonal
Council of Women. for Christian and pa
triotc service from Frank ]. Cannon, cdi-
tor of the Salt Lake Tribune Mr. Can
mons telegram says:
According to Reed Shoots testimony
before the senatorial committee at Wash
ngton he had last October challenged the
polygamistic character of the apostolic
quorum. The investigation was prom
sed by President Smith. Tho present con-
ference ends without Shoots appearance
No reference to investigation. Instead
all monogomistic appearance swept away
and polygamist character established by
unanimous vote of church and minor &C.
Cesastics for pOlygamous hierarchy
'Smoot's challenge and investig ton
were mere pretense. Smoot guided entire
ly by Smith.
Senator Shoots case has not been finally
acted upon, either by the senate commit
tee or the senate itself. The committee on
privileges and elections is about equally
divided on Senator Shoots case, with a
possibility that majority may be against
him.

GERMANY GETS SNUBBED
All the Powers Interested in Morocco
Decline to Attend international
Conference

Paris, April 14.-Germany's efforts to
secure an international conference on
the Morocco question do not cause
further apprehension, as the govern
ment is aware that practically all the
powers having any political interests
in Morocco would not participate. This
applies to France, Great Britain, SPAIN
Italy and Russia. and the other Eu-
ropean powers have little or no inter-
est in Morocco. Consequently Ger
many would be practically alone in fa-
vOring or participating IN AN interna-
tional gathering.
1t is assumed that the neutral atti-
tude of the United States will probably
lead her to withhold from participa-
ton if all the interested parties except
Germany decline to take part in the
proposed conference.
The French authorities, therefore, do
not attach further serious Importance
to the international conference move
ment, being convinced that it is doomed
in advance to failure. Germanys plans
concerning the suggested conference
have not yet taken definite form.
