UTAH ATTORNEY ON THE STAND
IN THE SENATOR sMooT IN.
vEsTIGATIoN.
DISCUSSES POLITICS IN THAT STATE
DECLARES GENTILEs HAVE Al.
WAYS HELD MOST lMPoR-
TANT OFFICES.

Washington, Jan. III. w. N.
Whitecotton, an attorney Of Provo,
Utah, resumed his review of political
affairs in Utah when the days hearing
opened in the Smoot investigation. No
effort was made by the Mormon
church, he said, to restrict the political
liberties of the people generally or OF
any individual.
1t was shown by the witness that
Gentiles had always held the most i'm
judges, who had been active in SEN
fencing Mormons for polygamous CO.
habitation, received as large a vote
as other candidates when they came
up for reelection. Il think the de-
cided sentiment of the Mormon peo-
pie in Utah is hostile to polygamy,"
said Mr.. Whitecotton.
AS to the sentiment i" the state in
regard to the prosecutions for po-
lygamy Mr.. Whitecotto- said
81 believe the people generally don't
want to stir this thing up and start it
smelling again-it has not good
odor. Women went into polygamy-a
delusion, probably-because they
thought plural marriages a religious
duty. The church breaches that if a
plural wife gets divorce she cannot
be married to another husband and
the people realize that it she is cut off
by prosecutions from her only pro-
tector she and her children are in q
precarions condition. The sympathy
of Gentiles and young Mormons Op-
posed to polygamy is all for the wo-
men. never heard of any sympathy
for male polyga1nist."
Gentiies Hold All Offices.
Speaking of the character of state
had not been a polygamist elected
since statehood.
Mr.. Van Cott asked when Senator
Smoot first took an active part in poll
tics in Utah
'.He was in politics when went to
Utah. He was in the Peoples party"
After the division came what party
did he take?" ~
well, he had some Republican
heresies and he joined that party He
was in the woolen mill business said
the witness.
What other heresies did Mr.. Smoot
show?' asked Senator Foraker
We'll, he developed habit of al
ways voting the Republican ticket and
it was unpleasant to us Democrats to
have too many of those fellows
around"
"Along the line Of Mr.. Shoots early
heresies, did he oppose polygamy?"
asked Mr.. Van Cott.
Eyes, sir; he was looked upon as
the young man in Utah to redeem Is
rael.'

TRYING TO PROVE AN ALlRl.
Members Of pr. koch's Family Testify
in Murder Trial

7 y !
s5aw lJlm, Mimi, jan 14.-ln the
trla. Of Dr. George r. Koch, accused
of the murder of DR.. Gebhardt, E. G..
Koch, the aged father Of the defendant,
swore that his son entered the house
the fateful night Of Nov. 1 at 9::33S and
with painful exactness he added all
the circumstances SO often previously
repeated by him of the clock being
seven minutes fast, of his son saying
that he had seen rabbit and thought
he would go after it, of his returning
in two or three minutes, of his going
down into the cellar after an apple
and OF eating it in the diningroon.
Miss Ida Koch, a teacher and sister
of the prisoner, testified that on the
night of the murder she wrote letters
until 9::30 and then read until s.: Ia,
when George came home. She declared
that George did not appear hurried or
excited in any way,
The defense is making strong
point Of the fact that Koch wore the
same clothing before and after the
murder and that there were no stains
or marks upon them. The state is
trying to break the alibi by showing
that the witnesses remember exact
time only of the night Of the homi-
eide.

WILL COST FIVE MILLIONS.
Engineers Decide the Brooklyn Bridge
Must Be Rebuilt.

Z
New York, Jan. 14.-Fearful lest the
strain to which the Brooklyn bridge is
being subjected will weaken it to such
an extent that great catastrophe
might be possible engineers of the de-
partment Of bridges are reported to.
have determined that the structure
must be almost completely rebuilt. TO
do this it will require at least two
years and meanwhile traffic between
Nea York and Brooklyn will have to
be diverted to the Williamsburg
bridge, the new Manhattan bridge and
to the Brooklyn subway tunnel, now in
course Of construction. Four or five
years may elapse before this can be
accomplished, as great traffic problems
will have to be solved before hand.
Though an inspection of the Brook
lyn bridge shows it to be in safe con-
dition at present it is admitted by all
the engineers who have been connect
ed with the work, according to the
Herald, that even steel has an age
limit and that this limit is being rap
idly approached 1t is estimated that
the cost will be about S5,QO0,0OO

NOTE TO TIE POWERS.
Russia Complains Of Chinese Viola
tions of Neutrality.

Paris, Jan. 14.-The Associated
Press learns authoritatively that Rus
sia's note addressed to the powers
relative to China's breaking neutrality
gives what Russia claims to be abso-
lutte proof of Chinese breaches. The
three main complaints are:
First-That the islands of Miaotao,
in the straits of Pechili opposite Port
Arthur, have been constantly used by
the Japanese without Chinese inter-
ference as q strategical base and as a
harbor for Japanese torpedo boats.
SecOnd-That the Chinese army on
the border has accepted the command
of japanese officers.
Third-That Chinese firms have
been constantly working in behalf Of
the Japanese, supplying them with
provisions. military accoutrements and
general war stores.
The note lenethily sets forth the de-
tails and complains that China has
lot given satisfactory explanation Of
the breaches of neutrality and that,
therefore, Russia advises the powers
that she intends to use complete lib
erality of action in regard to future
abuse of neutrality.

CALLS ON SECRETARY HAY.
Russian Ambassador Discusses Ch

( ID. (
Washington, Jan. 14-Count Cas-
sini, the Russian ambassador, called
at the state department during the
day to talk with Secretary Hay re-
specting the formal and general pro-
test made by Russia against alleged
violations of neutrality by China dur
ing the present war.
The belief obtains that the action
OF Russia in dispatching this note to
the powers is intended, not to indi-
cate immediate action toward oblig-
ing China to remedying the matters
complained of at present, but rather
to have on file record of a grievance
against the Chinese government
whicn can be brought up for consid-
GRAFTON at the conclusion of hostilities
and during the negotiations which will
effect permanent settlement of the
Eastern question.
