other senators counted on hy the rail-
roads are showing great friendliness
for Smoot and his vote, and 1t is not
unlikely that one Of the test votes be.
tween the administration and anti
administration forces will be on the
acceptance or rejection Of Smoot. The
Mormon church is in partnership
with the Hsvemeyer interests in a
number OF beet sugar factories. The
suagr trust influence consequently
has been secretly for SmoOt for some
time.
Smoot was formerly director in
the San Pedro, Los Angeles Il Salt
Lake railroad, and, 1t is understood,
still retaiss his interest. He is also
interested in some iuterurban rail
road enterprises in Utah. The re-
lations of the Mormon church and
the Union Pacific interests have al
ways been close. President Joseph
F, Smith is a director in the Union
Pacific at the present time and it is
asserted that the powerful influence
Of r. H. Hartman and his allies will
be exerted for SmOot at the proper
time.
An additional obligation was in
cured when the church elected State
Senator George Sutherland attorney
for the Rio Grande Western road and
for one Of the subsidiary corporations
OF the asphalt trust. In return for
this service it is expected that Gould
interests are for Smoot.

ONE MORE WINTER
Bethany Home Will Remain in
South Rock Island
Quarters.
ARE NOT READY FOR CHANGE
Moline Is More Successful in Raising
Its Share of Funds Than is
Rock Island.

At a meeting of the Bethany Home
Protective association held last even
ing it became apparent that the home
must remain for another winter at
least in the quarters in South Rock
Island. 1t has been the desire of most
of those in charge of the institution to
get into another building, one more
comfortable and convenient during the
winter months, but this has practically
been given up Ii is the intention to
secure such quarters. when they are
secured, that another removal will net
be necessary. and such a place can
not be found in haste. nor can the
amount of land necessary be purchased
and the home built with the means now
in hand.
Fund for Expenses.
The fund of four thousand dollars,
which wSs being raised in Rock Island
and Moline. the amount being divided
equally between the two cities, for run
ming expenses, is still considerably
short. Moline has been considerably
more liberal TO the institution thus far
in the canvass than has Rock Island.
and their share has been almost raised.
A canvass of the business men will be
made there for donations to be taken
out in trade. Rock Island is far short
in its amount. and the indication is that
the right persons have not become in
terested in the institution as they have
in Moline.
The reports received indicated that
the work at the home is going on in
manner as satisfactory as can be under
the present conditions
