Morale of Highest Type.


WASHINGTON. Jan. 12.-Testlmo.
ny intended to prove that the Mormon
morale Is Of the highest type and to re-
flute the word of witnesses who have
declared the contrary to be true was
offered by counsel for Senator Reed
Smoot. w. j. Mcconnell, formerly n
United States senator from Idaho and
twice governor of his state, and Repre-
sentative Burton l.. French. member
of the present congress ana reelected
for another term, were witnesses.
1t was the opening session Of the de-
Tense in the Smoot investigation. Sen
ator Knox. Il new member Of the com
mittee, attended for the first time
There is Il sentiment in the committee
in favor Of pressing the investigation
TO a quick conclusion.
Both witnesses denied many state
ments directed against the Mormon
church and its alleged interference in
political affairs. Former Governor Nc
Connell said that the gentle members
of the Idaho legislature have not as
high morals as the Mormon members
and that if 1t were not for questions Of
geography and knowledge Of legisla-
tive needs the interests of the state
would be better served by an entire
Mormon legislature.

ANARCHIST: Yes, the Village
Fathers passed such law but it was
only for a joke. II you must walk

CHARLES: There are several meth
DDS for bagping squirrels. One is to
use shells loaded with sawdust or
wood ashes. They make just as
much noise and come cheaper than
Griswold's
Another way is to climb tree and
make noise like nut. When the
squirrel sees lobster he can be cap
tured before he RECEIVERS conscious

But the most successful way is TO
use ammunition which you know
came from Griswold's. The kind
that kills every time you pull the

be imediately necessary. The Sox were coming along nicely when this happened and Gus was one of the best conditioned of the regulars when I left the club in Memphis. What his fast work means to the Sox infield can be recalled from the records of last season. 1t is painfully remembered that while Comiskey was ex- perimenting with Callahan and Isbell on second, the Sox were outside the money and slowly gravitating southward.
 Then Jones gave Dundon a chance at second. and the club with the help of Jones leadership, began climbing, and kept in the race so closely that the lead CTS felt a scare almost up to the finish
 It was Dundon's work in conjunction with George Davis, his quiek-witted way of picking up the fine points of a position new to him under the tuition of the vet eran shortstop, that made the Sox lead the country in double plays last season and that faculty of cutting in with many a Sox pitcher from defeat Dun don's fielding was so valuable that his weakness with the stick was overcome and almost overlooked.
 With Dundon on the hospital list and Callahan either out of the game on ac- count of sickness or learning to play first base, the right side of the White Sox in field will be pretty wobbly when the flag falls, and there is every prospect that they will have to be content with a poor getaway and the hope of acquiring some

Chicago. April 11.-onering to arbi- trate everything in connection with the Montgomery Ward strike with the ex- ception of the garment workers griev- ances. a committee of the commercial ex- change, an organization of Chicago em- ployers, deadlocked with representatives Of the Chicago federation of labor and the joint teamsters unions at the Grand Pacific hotel this evening. The meeting adjourned with no peace in sight.
 The union labor committee, fresh from a. conference with Mayor Dunne, set forth emphatically that the teamsters were out in sympathy with the garment workers only and that if the grievances of the garment workers were not to be considered there was nothing to arbi trate. It was charged that the whole sale tailor manufacturers association had entered into conspiracy to bring back former sweatshop conditions among the garment workers and that conspiracy had been successful in New York, Ro- chester and Philadelphia and was being pushed here in Chicago. Another con ference will be held tomorrow Neither side appeared hopeful of results making for peace.

NEW TURN IN TIE
 EQUITABLE CASE
Charges Made Against Super
 lntepdent of Insurance
SHOWED RANK PREFERENCE
E. M. Shepard Declares Hendricks Re- fused His Client a Hearing When Naturalization Plan Was
 Under Consideration.

New York, April 11.-Today's proceeding before Justice Maddox in the supreme court, Brooklyn, on the application by Franklin B. Lord for an injunction to re- strain the carrying out of the Equitable Life Assurance Society naturalization plan were enlivened by an attack made by Ed ward M. Shepard, counsel for Lord, on Francis Hendricks. superintendent of in- suranee.
 MT. Shepard declared that MT. Hen dricks had refused his client a hearing when the naturalization plan was under consideration, although at the same time he was.in conference with the attorneys for the society's officers. Mir. Shepard declared that MT. Hendricks had forced MT. Lord to remain Tn outer darkness while he had rushed through the mutual ization plan with the representatives of the directors. Anotehr feature of the hear ing was the announcement of George Za- briskie as counsel for Charles W. Morse, that his client wished to intervene in the suit of MT. Lord. MT. Zabraskie informed the court that his client was the owner of fifteen shares of Equitable stock. His request to intervene, both within and without the action was agreed to by tho other parties.
 MT. Utermeyer gave formal notice that he would intervene in behalf of James H. Hyde.
 William B. Hornblower, who said he represented the Equitable society and it's GO0,0O0 policyholders contended that the stockholders privilege to vote for direc- tors was not a property right. This was disputed by MT. Untermeyer. There was considerable argument also between MT. Untermeyer and MT. Hornblower as to what constituted the Equitable society surplus above reserve requirement. Of the $S, 0G0,O00 carried as surplus. Mir Horn blower said $70. 000. 900 should be considered as reserve money to meet obligations. This left $10000, GOO clear In which, how ever, he held the stockholders had no in- terest, that money belonging to the policy holders. MT. Untermeyer questioned the placing of the reserve to meet obligations at $70,000. 900. and asked If the courts had not decided $46. coo, 900 to be sufficient re- serve fund. To thls MT. Hornblower did not reply. At the close of the arguments Justice Maddox gave the lawyers until Friday to file briefs
