and at Long Island sanitarium. Mic
oil declared that Duke was insane and
that he was an habitual drunkard.
The motion was opposed by Lawyer
Louis s. Phillips, who represents Duke
and who maintained that his client is
perfectly sane and that the allegations
in his sons petition are untrue.
Henry w. Younger. counsel for Mrs.
Alice L. Webb-Duke, whom Duke mar
ried last December, also appeared to
oppose the motion.
During his argument in opposition to
appointing a. commission Lawyer Phil
lips presented an affidavit from Duke
which began:
'I do not think I am drinking
man."

NOT A FRIEND
OF POLYCAMY
So Declares Mormon Digni-
tary Quoted as Defending
Plural Marriage System

SALT LAKE. Utah, Feb. al. G..
KimbalI, general secretary and member
of the first council of the seventy of
the Mormon church, who was credited
in a special dispatch from Logan to the
Salt Lake Tribune on Sunday last with
having defended polygamy and de-
clared before the Cache Stake confer
ence that Congress would be unable to
stop the practice, to-day issued a
signed statement in which he declared
that the report attributing to him any
defense of the practice of polygamy is
false He asserts that he made no ref
erence to the subject of polygamy,
either openly or covertly, by inference
or innuendo. What he did say he claims,
was to refer in the following language
to resolutions recently adopted by a
body of women in the East:
Women in the East want Congress
to stop this thing (bringing children
into poor families). Congress will have
q rough time in trying to prevent poor
people having large numbers of chill
practice down and legalize race sui
eide"
Continuing Kimball said: 81 then bore
my testimony that Mormonism is true,
that 1t had found Its way into my
bones and into my blood, and that
felt it in every fiber of my being, and
that 'Mormonism cannot be destroyed,
and the more they try to destroy 1t the
more it will grow. I believe in it and
will live It.

MANY BALLOTS
ARE IDENTIFIED
Colorado Voters Show Up
Alleged Handwriting Ex-
perts Before Legislators
PEABODY LOSES GROUND
Markings Declared Fraudu-
lent Readily Picked Out
by Men Who Made Them

DENVER, Feb. 2.-One of the mys-
teries of the alleged ballot box stuffing
at the election last November was
cleared by a witness in the Peabody
Adams gubernatorial contest before the
joint Legislative committee this aft
ernoon. The. experts in a number of
precincts have declared a number of
ballots probably were illegal because
they were not creased in such man
ner as was necessary for them to be
passed through the slot in the ballot
boxes Alderman A. d. Mauff was
called by the Democratic attorney
simply to identify his ballot. He was
successful in this and on cross exam
ination he was asked to show how he
folded his ballot to put 1t through the
slot.
This brought out the statement that
many Of the ballots in that precinct
had never been in the ballot box, be-
cause there was not room for them.
Instead, with the consent of the cleo
tion officials and the Supreme Court
watchers, they were cast into the out
side case of the box and were not folded
in the same manner as those which
were put into the ballot box proper.
Most of the witnesses examined this
afternoon were foreign born persons
residing in Elyria. suburb of this city
whose ballots had been declared by the
Peabody experts to be fraudulent
Each witness was asked to write the
word Democratic" as he had written
it on the ballot. and in each case the
handwriting was Identical with that
on the ballot
The unsealers of ballots reported on a
number of ballots which the experts
had testified were written by the same
hand. In one of the punches of ballots
alleged to be in the same handwriting
were found those voted by John c.
Twombley, formerly Postmaster oi
Denver, and Milton Aufanger, a Re-
publican State Senator, and two mem
bers of his family.
