MORE STORY THAN ROBBERY.

The daring robbery" reported as
having occurred in Swanton last Fri
day night or early Saturday morning.
at which time it was at first said thau
an entire family had been chloroform-
ed and So and IL valuable gold watch
stolen, has been investigated and il is
extremely improbable that any pro-
solutions will follow. The watch WAS
found and had not been stolen It
appears from Investigation that the
whole family was not chloroformed
and various details of tho affair match
so poorly that there is grave doubt if
anyone entered the premises at all In
fact from all that can be gathered in
tho matter il Is extremely probable
that no one entered the premises at
all. The footprints that were reported
as being numerous in the sand about
the house We're not in evidence but a
dog had paved up the ground a little
and the closest search failed to show
signs of hdder having been placed
against the house. HAD 4 ladder been
placed in ground soft enough to have
borne the imprint of footsteps it could
not have failed to have left Il deep
impression. Residents of Swanton are
losing no sleep over fears of n similar
visitation.
RUTLAND RAILROAD HAS LITTLE
FEAR.
Little fear is felt by the officials of
the Rutland Street railway and the
Chittcndcn Power companies that the
injunction granted Saturday, in Hud-
son, ~ y, in favor of the dcpositors of
the Merchants Trus'. company and re-
straining the trust company from pay
ing the Chittcndcn company 100000
will disturb either the operation of the
railway company or The construction
of the power station. 1t is underst God
that when J. q. White Il CO., contrac-
tors, resumed work on the power sta
tion. after Stopping operations, pend
ing settlement of the trust company's
affairs, their legal advisers brought 1t
about that 'he money necessary to
complete tho plant should be consider
ed as Il special deposit" 1t is not
supposed that the money was legally
regarded as such prior to the banks
troubles or else the contractors would
not have stopped work AS it is, the
depositors will not be able to get at
the money anyway. 1t is considered
possible, however, that at 'hc hearing
which will be held the Goth to dctcN
mine whether the Injunction shall he

'ory of the local companies will have
TO be told in court. Receiver Douglas

Seal Bill In Senate.
STILL DEBATED IN SENATE

Washington, January 20.-The state
hood bill and the fur seal indemnity bill
again divided the attention of the SEN
ate today, both again went over with
out action. Mr.. Fulton spoke in support
Iof the indemnity bill, and Messrs. Nc
Creary and Bate in opposition to the
statehood measure.
Immediately after the Senate was CALL
ed to order, President Pro Tenn Frye laid
before it a telegram from the Governor
of New Mexico transmitting a memorial
adopted by the legislature of that terri
tory protesting against the union of New
Mexico and Arizona in one state, and
urging the admission of New Mexico as a
state according to present boundaries.
Gre of the resolutions urged for admis-
sion was the fact that New Mexico sup
piled more than half of the members of
the regiment of Rough Riders command
e during the Spanish war by Col.
.codore Roosevelt.
Messrs. Foraker and German having
declined to act as tellers in the canvass
OF the Presidential vote, Pro Tenn Frye
announced the selection in their stead of
M.essrs Burrows and Bailey.
The Senate resumed consideration of
the statehood bill and Mr. McCreary
spoke on that measure. He announced his
advocacy of separate statehood for the
territories of Arizona, New Mexico and
Oklahoma as they are now constituted.
The Senate passed a bill authorizing the
Delta Southern Railway company to con-
struet a bridge across the Sunflower river
in Mississippi
Commenting on the memorial of the New
Mexico legislature presented in the SEN
ate today. Mr.. McCreary said it appeared
that the people of that territory were
about as unanimous in their opposition
as were the people Of Arizona. Hence. he
said the pending bill must be considered
in the light of a force, but distasteful
alike to all in both territories.
Mr.. Bate opposed in vigorous Ian
guage the consolidation plan, declaring
the union was not desired. He said:
This double territorial engagement was
coneoeted by the chairman of the House
committee on territories, and it is claimed
the report of his committee was Matched
in three and a half hours, the shortest
period of CESSATION known to biological
history"
Before Mr.. Bate concluded, the Senate.
at 1888 p. M, went into executive session,
and at Ais p. m. adjourned.

witnesses have testified here that the
statement of President Smith took the
people by surprise. What was your feel
ing In regard to that?"
Il was surprised at the number of chill
dren born in his families since the mani
festo, but not surprised at all as to the
number of his wives"
What was the state of your knowledge
concerning the family relation of other
apostles?''
The senator explained that he had no
intimate acquaintance with the families
of the other apostles at the time he be-
came an apostle in 1900.
Attitude Was Tolerant.
When asked about their general repu-
tations and whether he had made any
protest against those reputed to be liv-
ing in polygamous relations he said that
the government of the United States had
accepted the existing conditions; that
there had been no prosecutions and that
the attitude of the people was that Of
liberation. He declared that the people
felt that the best and surest way to settle
the conditions was to let the polygamsts
die off
Mr.. Worthington asked If that senti-
ment of liberation extended to plural
marriages which have occurred since the
manifesto.
"Oh, no. not at ALL" replied the Sem
ator earnestly. II do not believe there is
a good citizen of Utah who would con-
done new plural marriages"
What action did you take to put a
stop to the polygamous relations of othf
apostles?" asked Mr.. Worthington.
None at all. l never thought of 1t
any more than any other citizen would
have done.
Mr.. Smoot said he attended most of
the meetings of the apostles. In reply to
Mr.. Worthington he said the meetings
were held in a private room in tho temple
and Mr.. Worthington then asked: In
reference to the charge here that apostles
had entered into a conspiracy to further
polygamy what can you say?"
He replied emphatically "Polygamy
was never mentioned"
Continuing, he denied that there was
a particle of foundation for the story of
a conspiracy.
Did Not Know of Practices.
Asked again concerning the testimony
of President Smith that he had five wives
and was living with them in violation
of the law, Senator Smoot said until that
time he had no more knowledge than any
