PROSECUTE SMITH
WARRANT SWORN OUT FOR NOR
MON PRESIDENT.
Charged by Owens with Having Ille-
gal Relations With One Of His
Five Wives--Comes
Up Wednesday.

salt Lake City, Utah. Sept. 21--Pariey
p. Christensen, County Attorney of
Salt Lake County, today was cited to
appear on Wednesday next in the GRIM
inal division of the State District
Court, before Judge Armstrong, and
show why he should not direct the is
suance of warrant for the arrest Of
Joseph F. Smith, President of the Nor
mon Church. on charge of sustaining
unlawful relations with one of his FIVE
wives.
The citation was issued on the petit
tfon of Charles Mostlyn Owens, who
has been active in gathering testimony
against Senator Smoot in the proceed
ings before the United States Senate
Committee on Privileges and Elections
On September Owens appeared before
a justice of the peace and swore to a
complaint making statutory charge
against President Smith
The complaint was based upon the
fact that on May 81 last President
Smiths forty third child was born to
Mary T. Schwartz Smith, the Mormon
Presidents fifth wife lat her home in
this city.
AS witnesses to the fact, the COM
plant cited the four other. wives of
President Smith and several apostles
and leaders of the Mormon church. in
Guiding Senator Smoot and Governor
Cutler.
Under the law the warrant could not
be issued except upon the approval of
the County Attorney. The complaint
was permitted to remain in the County
Attorneys office without action, but 1t
was commonly understood that there
would be no prosecution of the Mormon
President by direction of the County
Attorney.
Friends of Mr.. Christensen charged
that the filing of the complaint was an
attempt on the part of anti-Mormons
to embarrass him In his candidacy for
the Republican nomination for Con-
gresham. Christensen was defeated
for the nomination in yesterdays con-
vention by Congressman Howell.
