MORMONS CONDEMNED
RESOLUTIONS ADOPTED BY CON-
GREss OF MOTHERS.

The committee on resolutions of the
Mothers Congress today reported, through
It's chairman, Mrs. Cotton, series
of resolutions, which were adopted unani-
mously after extended consideration. The
most important Of these resolutions was
upon the Mormon question, and 1t recites
in part that:
THE investigation into the right of Reed
Smoot to sit in the United States Senate
has proved that the Mormon hierarchy has
broken it's vow to the government by which
Utah received her statehood and that
president Joseph +. Smith and eight of
the apostles are confessedly living in polyg
amy and are still. through their book of
doctrines and covenants, teaching that it is
right and necessary to salvation" II is al
legged the investigation has clearly proved
that every member of the Mormon Church
takes an oath which is reasonable TO the
government of the United States.
Review of Testimony.
After reviewing the testimony given be-
fore the Senate investigating committee by
the superintendent of public education in
Utah, and stating that but four lives stand
between Senator Smoot and the presidency

Police Trying to Find Man Last Seen
With Victim

NEW YORK, March 1.-THE body of the
girl found in a Newark hotel last night
with evidence that she had been strangled
was today identified as that of Miss Mamie
Dennis. She a working girl who lived
with her relatives at 139 Hopkins avenue,
Jersey City, but had not been seen by them
since Wednesday morning, when she left
| home ostensibly to go to work.
Two young men who were employed in
the hotel have been arrested and held
witnesses.
The man who hired the room in which
the body was found and shared 1t with her
was still missing today.
Miss Dennis was twenty-five years old
Her identity was discovered by detective,
| who submitted her shoes and described the
| body of the girl to the shoe dealer who had
! sold the shoes to her. The shoe dealer at
once identified her and the identification
was confirmed by the Dennis family.
Mystery still surrounds the case. Every
effort thus far has failed to establish the
| identity Of the man who accompanied her
! to the hotel, or even to reveal to GER
tainty the cause of her death. While
| faint blue-black mark on her throat which
| might have been caused by the pressure of
| murderous fingers, together with other cir
cumstances. point to crime 1t will not be
known positively until after an autopsy
has been performed whether the young wo-
man was murdered.
The man for whom the police are search
ing in connection with the case is described
as about five feet eleven inches TALL with
dark hair and smooth face. He wore a long
gray coat that reached almost to his feet
and appeared to be about twenty-five years
old. The servants of the hotel are certain
that they can identify the man If found,
as he was seen by them several times after
| he came to the hotel with the woman.
The police hope to learn something about
| him through articles found in the room.
They believe, also, that with the identity of
| the girl established something of the miss
| ing man may be learned from the same
source.
An examination of the hotel register made
1 by the police today revealed the fact that
| the man for whom they are searching in
| connection with the young woman's death
had visited the hotel several times within
| the last few weeks. In each instance the
man was accompanied by woman, and
registered as I'D. Edwards and wife, Tren-
| ton" All the entries were in the same
handwriting. When this discovery was
| made the police at once arrested Theodore
and Albert Young, brothers of Mrs. Sarah
Young, the proprietress of the hotel They
are held as witnesses.
| In which the body was found resulted In
| tho discovery of a drinking glass with a
| white sediment at the bottom The sedi-
| ment will be subjected to chemical analy-
| sis. The police believe that the girls slayer
gave her a drug to induce sound sleep, that
he might not encounter resistance;
An autopsy which was performed On the
young woman's body this afternoon dis
closed the fact that death resulted from
natural causes. The marks on the neck,
the physician found, were caused by
pressure from the collar after death

of the Mormon hierarchy, the resolutions
ask the United States Senate to remove
Reed Smoot and to take such measures as
Will effectually prevent any organization
from "defying civil and divine laws"
The resolutions commend the United
States Senate for its action in refusing
statehood to Arizona and New Mexico, as
the polygamous conditions there render it
unsafe for them to receive statehood, and
1T is urged that no polygamist may be ap-
pointed by the United States government to
hold official positions, and that, as authen-
tic information shows that many are now
that the government do not give its in
dorsement TO crime by appointing polySa-
mists in government Places
Mr.. Cannon's Services
The thanks of the mothers congress are
extended TO ex-senator Frank ]. Cannon of
Utah for tine valuable service he has rem
dered to the nation in the clear, brave
manner in which, through the Salt Lake
Tribune, he has called the Mormon HER
archy to account for broken faith fo-
polygamy and church domination in poll
tics. Though expelled by the Mormon HER
archy, he is welcomed into the ranks Of
loyal. law-abiding citizens as a brave de-
fender of home and purity"
1t is also recited that the national con-
gress of mothers accords to the United
States senators who have stood bravely
with the women of America in the battle
for the home their earnest thanks and
gratitude.

WI. oAAo4S NAOWs
Colonel Biddle mentioned that the work
has gone SO far up. to this time tina, it
would be impossible to modify the plans
for the present project, and that if any
thing were done to place the outlet further
down the river that a new pumping plant
would have to be constructed, as the PRES
ent pumping plant has been designed with
the view to having the sewer outlet near
the naval magazine
THE whole question, think" said Col.
Biddle, turns upon the point as to
whether or not the location of the outlet
above Alexandria will constitute menace
to the health Of the people of that city. In
estimating the amount Of sewage to be
deposited in the river provision was made
for a population of 100000 persons in
Washington. The test of the matter,
believe. would be to try it. and then. If the
conditions anticipated arise, new plant
can be constructed"
Commissioner mcfarland expressed the
opinion that the engineers who located the
sewer outlet undoubtedly considered the
question as to whether or not sewage
would be offensive to Alexandria.

AMERICAN CITIES PAGAN
REV. WILLIAM KINKAID, DID,,
FORMER PASTOR OF ANDREW
PRESBYTERIAN CHURCH, STAR
Tiles CONGREGATION.

"The churches will never realize the
extent of their responsibility until they
recognize the fact that the average
American city is a pagan city. Chris
tianity is to great masses Of our people
nothing but a name. To all intents and
purposes they are pagans.'
Such was the startling climax Of a
sermon at Andrew Presbyterian church
yesterday morning, preached by for
mer pastor, DR.. William Kinkaid, now
pastor Of the First Presbyterian church
of Honolulu. DR.. Kinkaid spent Sunday
in Minneapolis and occupied the pulpit
made an impassioned appeal for an
awakening among Christian people to
their duty, and for quickening of the
public conscience. The corruption of
politics and high finance was especially
condemned. DR.. Kinkaid quoted Con
gresham Hepburn Of Iowa, who spoke
at a banquet in Honolulu when the Taft
party was entertained in the city. He
said in effect that all the efforts and the
prayers of the people of the United
States were powerless when opposed tC
the wishes of a $2O0,OOO,OOO corpora
tion.
"What shall we say Of our boastei
liberty and Christian citizenship, sale
DR.. Kinkaid, "when such statements
are possiblea We know that there arr
full than $2OO,60O,OOO corporations, ant
we know how fagrantly they have
treated the laws and the rights Of tht

DR.. Kinkaid held the lack of true
| Christianity and conscience in the busi
ness world responsible for such STATE
| of affairs.

FOWLER PULPIT
IS LEFT VACANT
SITUATION IN LOCAL METHODISM
AS YET UNSETTLED.
DR.. P. A. Cool Is Appointed Associate
Pastor of Wesley Church by Bishop
Mcdowell ll-Friends of Former Fowler
Pastor Disappointed Because He Was
Not Made Presiding Elder.

Methodist appointments reported
from Eveleth would seem to indicate
that Bishop Mcdowell found the Min
neapolis tangle too much for him.
He has left the Fowler pulpit vacant
and has made DR.. P. A. Cool associate
pastor of Wesley church. This is un-
derstood to be only until he can find a
church for DR.. Cool of the same grade
as the one he left. This will probably
ence and arrangement of transfers.
DR.. Cool's many friends in this city
are deeply disappointed that the bishop
did not see his way clear to make DR..
Cool presiding elder of this district, a
position for which he was strongly
backed. It is thought by some that
Dr.. Montgomery, when he is apprizeed
come to Fowler church, and that the
bishop can still restore peace and order
in Methodism by making DR.. Long
pastor of Fowler church and DR.. Cool
presiding elder. Methodists Of the city
! are keenly alive to the Importance Of
the great revival movement in the city
this winter, and they want spiri itual
man who can take a leading part in
the work at the head of this district.
