A. a. NOON.
A. A, Noon OF Provo a Republican
justice OF the peace and former Nor

highly and was not surprised, he said
at his election as senator.
After his marriage Mr.. Noon said
he took the endowments MIR. Worth
ington asked him II he took an oath
TO avenge the blood OF prophets "on this
nation"
Witness said he was perfectly clear
that nothing I'm the obligation taken
expressed hostility 20 the nation or to
this government, lie said Il was taken
from the Scriptures, Revelations, chap
ter 6, verses 3 and 10. There was Moth
ing In II, he said, Of dlsloyalty to the
United States. He said Il had been
40 vars since he took the endowment
and he could not remember the exact
language, as II did not particularly linz
press him
On cross-eXa minatlon Mr.. Noon said
he did not concern himself with polyg-
amy and was unable to state who were
polygamlsts IN Provo. Many names
were read to him and he Identified them
by common repute, as living IN polyg-
amy.
Chairman Burrows asked Mr. Noon
also I'm regard to the endowment cere-
mony and he declined to state It's ma
ture' He would not say whether there
was a change i'm wearing apparel,
whether there was a severe penalty at
tached to revealing what had taken
place or anything connected with the
obligations
What would you say As to whether
the penalty was to have the tongue
torn out or the vitals cut out Of the
body?" asksd Chairman Burrows.

Mr.. Noon replied.
DoUGALL RECALLED,
MIR. Dougall was recalled and asked
whether there was anything in his en-
dowment ioath Incompatible with his
allegiance 10 his state and the nation.

Noon was recalled and answered the
same question IN the negative. Chair
man Burrows again recalled Mr. Dou-
gall and several senators wanted to
know why he would state part Of the
ceremony and would not state It all.
He said he could not remember the
exact wording Of the obligation OF ven
geance but was sure II was not hostile
10 the government and that It was eN-
clusively religious and not related In
any manner to civil or governmental
affairs.

his creditors would have had every
dollar belonging TO him.
To the gossip that the Schettler nome
was elegantly furnished with money
rlghtfully belonging TO some one else
Mrs. Schettler drew attention TO the
plainnessof everything In the household
and told how ever since her marriage 80
years ago, she had always performed
her own house work and had In every
way been economical. And this, she
said, was true OF the other Schettler
families. Little information about his
business affairs she said further, had
ever been impaired 20 her by her hus-
band. and the news OF the bad condi-
ton Of the bank came with as great
surprise to her as 10 anyone else, she
stated that the home I'm which she lives
and which has been hers for % years
without question, has never figured as
an asset Of the bank, and while per-
sonally she would be willing to give
any money she might be possessed OF 10
help her husband pay his debts, she did
not feel that justice demanded her to
give up her home IN her declining years.
A MATTER OF DISPUTE.
Mr. and Mrs. schcttler both declare
that Receiver Anderson, and not them
Thompson, and that Mr.. Anderson had
insisted that the means be raised for
that purpose. To. Mrs. sutherland II
had been made 10 appear by the recelv-
er, say the SchettlerB,th that they had PAID
the money themselves. and upon her de-
mand that she also be given her
money, at which time she was referred
TO the receiver the warrant charging
crminality was sworn TO.
THE MILLER MONEY.
In explaining the Livingston cage In
connection with the banks affairs, Mr..
Schottler said that during the life
time OF Mrs. Miller, who was the
original depositor OF the money IN
question, IL was mutually agreed that
when any money was TO be drawn out
It should be with due notice and I'm such
sums as would be perfectly satlstac-
tory to the banker After Mrs,
Miller's death the bank account passed
into other hands, and a demand for
the immediate payment OF the entire
amount proved embarrassing TO the
bank.
SOME BAD LOANS.
Many loans had been made, said Mr..
Schettler, which seemed good at the
time, but which had proved TO be al
most II not entirely worthless, How
ever, he maintains that If he had not
been unduly crowded no creditor
would have lost a dollar.
BLAME RECEIVER.
The Schettler family assert that Re-
ceiver Anderson, one week after eXam-
ming the books OF the bank, said he
would take an oath that Mr., Schettler
did not believe that he was insolvent.
Mr. Anderson is also censured by
the family for trying, as they say to
make II appear that they were respon-
sibe for his actions In the Thompson
matter, and also for the statement,
with which he is credited, in a morn
ing paper, TO the effect that what he
did In the way Of advertising the re-
turn OF money to one creditor was for
the purpose Of retaining the services
Of Mr.. schettler to help untangle the
banks affairs.

Washington, ID. c., Jan, H.--For the
oyst time since the smoot hearings be-
can last year the committee room was
without bevy OF women, who have
been constant attendants at each ses-
sion. Today, through the morning, Mrs.
T. NJ. owen was the only lady who oc-
eupied seat In the room. Apparently
,be testimony IN favor OF Senator
smoot produced to date has gone far
enough to convince spectators as well
A majority OF the senators that the
case Of the protestants has fallen fiat
IN that the senator has been able to
positively refute the charge Of Church
domination in temporal affairs In the
Intermountain states. Witnesses for
tho senator have at least been equal In
reputation TO any OF those brought here
BY Dubois and they have certainly con-
tadicted fatty the men who swore that
The Mormon" heirachy absolutely con-
trolls political affairs in Idaho and Utah.
Four witnesses testified during the
morning session, they were James e.
Lynch, Hugh Dougall, Alonzo A. Noon
and william Hatfield Their evidence
brought out nothing startling and was
simply In line OF the policy OF Senator
Shoots attorney to demonstrate that
"Mormons" like Methodsts, Baptists
or any other religious sect, vote as they
please or as the conscience dictates.
