MORMON CHURCH Law.
Dr. James Il. Talmase, an Expert, Tes-
tlfies 10 the Smoot Case.

WAsHINGToN, Jan. is-James Il. Tai
mage was the first witness to-day in the
Smoot hearing before the Senate Com
mittee on Privileges and Elections He is a
Mormon but not polygamist. He is
general superintendent of the Mormon
Sunday school He is the author of the
book called Articles Of Faith, one Of the
Mormon dOctrinal authorities. He had also
revised the Pearl Of Great Price He adj
mitted that he was an expert on Church
doctrine.
Prof Talmage gave ofrhand a clear de-
scription Of the complex official organiza-
tion of the Church. including the Church
courts. which he said had purely ecclesi-
astical functions, the object being 10 settle
differences between members.
"The object Of the courts is TO steer clear
of LAWYERS he said.
Mr.. Northington offered documents show
ing that the first presidency directed Church
courts not TO deal with matters belonging
to the civil courts
DIR. Talmage was asked to state TO what
extent the president of the Church could
instruct the witness as TO his vote in the
Senate, If he were a Senator.
1T is an indispensable case he replied,
shut using il for purposes of illustration.
II | were Senator and the president OF the
Church should direct me 10 vote in certain
way should remind him that was Senator
and that he was not.
DR. TalmaRe, discussing the revelation
10 the Prophet Joseph Smith, recognized
as permitting polygamy, stated that Il was
primarily revelation OF the eternity OF
marriage. and was never intended to be
mandatory except upon Joseph Smith him
self Celestial marriage is a marriage for
eternity as we'll as time, as authorized by
the revelation. 1t does not mean plural
marriage. The term sealing" means the
performance Of celestial marriage.
The Woodruff manifesto, prohibiting
polygamous marriage, was sustained by
the people and therefore became rule
as binding az a law. But Woodruf's con-
striction Of the manifesto. TO the effect that
il forbade polygamous cohabtation, was
never sustained by vote Of the people, said
DIR. TalmaRe. and was therefore not bind
ing. His conclusion was that there was no
manifesto or revelation prohibiting polyga-
nous cohabitation.
The manifesto having taken away the
power TO perform plural marriages from
The president OF the Church, IL followed
that plural marriages performed since the
manifesto were invalid in the Church as
we'll as in civil law.
DIR Talmage said he had taken part in
the endowment ceremonies between twenty
and forty times He denied that an oath
III ven geance upon this nation was given
or taken. There was no obligation taken
contrary 10 a mans duty as a citizen. He
said there was no oath whatever gwen or
taken in the endowment ceremonies.
ANY book that sets forth truth - an in
spired work" was DR.. Tnlmages reply to
question as to the inspired works Of the
DR. Taluage said ne did not know OF any
things revealed to the Church which have
NOT been made public.

CANNON ron A RATE BILL.
He is Inclined to Favor the Measure Hep
hIIrn Is Preparing.

WAsHINGToN, Jan ls.-A decided i'm
petus was given to-day to the efforts OF
President Roosevelts supporters In the
movement to secure legislation for an
extension of the powers of the Interstate
Commerce Commission, when it became
known that Speaker Cannon, after consult
ing with some of the House leaders, had
expressed the opinion that railway rate
Lii you'd be passed by the House within a
very short time.
Mr.. Cannon regards the spirit OF the
! 9u4e as favorable to such legislation, and
4 inclined to favor a measure along the
linz Of q bill which Representative hep
burn OF Iowa, chairman OF the Interstate
and Foreign Commerce Committee, ls pre-
pairing.
bin this week and he expressed a confident
hone to-day thtt it would be passed by
the House before the end of the week
The central idea in the Hepburn bill Is to
empower the courts to declare what is
reasonable rate for the present, and then
have the rate so declared to be reasonable
the rate for the future.
The period for which the Hepburn bill
will declare that this rate shall remain the
reasonable rate has not been definitely
determined. but it is likely that the period
will be fixed at one year. lhe cooper.
Cuarlns bill fixes il at one year, and the
disposition is to regard that as tho basis
measure.
The object Of Mr.. Hepburn in providing
that what the courts declare TO be reason-
able rate for the present shall be the rate
for the future il TO give assurance that the
courts will act as an efficient check upon the
Interstate Commerce Commission. The
other bills fail to do that, in his opinion.
hence his soicitude on that point At the
end of the period for which the rate ia fixed
it will he again subject 10 revision either
by the railroads or by the commission.

Health means everything. In clothes,
