GLEN MILLER HEARD.
Former Kansan Testifes Before Smoot
Investigating Committee.

Washington, Jan. 20.-Gien Miller,
former United States marshal in Utah,
who had been a candidate for office
several times, testified before the
Smoot Investigating committee, that he
had defeated Mormon candidates in
strong Mormon district. He declared
Mormon officials gave impartial admin
istrations
Senator Dubois asked the witness
what had caused Mormons to bolt the
Republican candidates at the last cleo
ton in Salt Lake City. Mr.. Miller re-
piled that they objected to Senator
kearns management of the party and
charged that money had been used in
the pre-convention campaign Mr..
WOrthington objected to bringing in
the names of individuals and at his re-
quest the name of Senator K earns was
expunged from the record.
Following an inquiry by Senator Me-
ComaS, which brought out the state
ment that the Mormons held the con-
cessions for light and power, street rail-
ways and other franchises in Salt
Lake, Mr.. Miller said that the street
railway and the lighting companies
We're on the market, and were bought
by the Mormons. He testified also that
the majority of the business in Salt
Lake was controlled by Gentiles.
Jno. w. Hughes, of Salt Lake, editor
of q weekly paper, testified that the SEN
tinent among gentiles was that Presi-
dent Smith was a fanatic in religion,
but that he was thoroughly honest and
was keeping the church out of politics,
He believed the gentiles thought it was
best to let polygamy die out, as there
were few polygamists left He had
made an investigation into the number
of polygamists in Salt Lake City, and
found that there We're only "A men,

was a member of the legislature that
elected Mr. Smoot a senator. She said
she went unpledged, but was glad to
abide by the result of her party's eau
Gus. Before voting for Mr.. Smoot, she
said, she ascertained that he was not
polygamist. Speaking of the Mormons
in political affairs, she said they sized
up very we'll with the gentiles. Po-
lygamous relations were never Haunted
by the Mormons, said Mrs. Coulter, and
the young Mormons particularly were
opposed to the continuation of the po-
INFAMOUS relations. AS a member of
the legislature she said she was asked
by as many gentiles as Mormons to
vote for Mr.. Smoot.
On cross examination, Chairman
Burrows asked if it would have made
any difference in her vote for senator

HOCH SIGNS FIRST
Governor AfEixes His Signature

Governor Hoch this morning sent to
the house a message informing the
house that he has signed the Clark
resolution providing for the subn.s-
sion to the people at the election an
amendment to section II of article 2
of the constitution of the state. This
amendment is for the purpose of re-
lieving the legislature of a large
amount of local legislation which now
interferes with the transaction Of gem
eral business. This is the first legis
lative action to come back with the
signature of Governor Hoch.

1t has been the precedent to enforce

concerning smoking. A good many
gentlemen persist in the violation of
the rule during the hours when The
house is not in session.
The sergeant at arms will here
after see to il that the employees and
visitors do not smoke.
1T is the duty of the speaker to
enforce the rules of the house. There
fore if the chair catches any of these
members smoking, he will make no
promises as to what he will say and
" hat he will not say. It would be
very disagreeabl task for the speaker
to have to call upon any member by
name to cease smoking.
Personally the chair does not OBJ
1ect to smoking, for he has been
smoker for thirty years. But there are
some members to whom smoke is
very unpleasant, and therefore the
rule will be strictly enforced"
only twenty new bills were intro
duced this morning. This is the
smallest number so far introduced at
the morning session.

Mr.. Shoots apostles were polygamists.
Mrs. Coulter replied that possibly she
might have voted for Mr.. Srloot, be-
cause many gentiIes welcomed the OPP
portunity Of showing that their an
tagonism was not directed against the
church, but merely against the princi-
pies of the church known as polygamy.
She said further that she would not
vote for q polygarnist.
What do you think of a man who
would vote to elect a polygamist as an
apostle?" asked Chairman Burrows.
The witness replied that she could
not sit in judgment in such a case
Mrs. w. H. Jones, of Salt Lake, who
said she went to Utah at 16 years of
age as a bride, and who has been
prominently connected with the Liberal
and Republican parties in Utah, testi-
fed that neither she nor Senator Smoot
had Joined the Silver Republican party
and said that both OF them had too
much sense"
On cross examination, the witness
said she did not believe a polygamist
could be elected to Office by either gen
tiles or Mormons.
How about Mr.. Roberts?" asked
Chairman Burrows.
That was so long ago do not know.
