.P0IYGAMY STORY
II. DENlED,BY .SMOOT
Utah Senator Brands as a Lie the
Statement that He Has !.
Three Wives.
Journal Special Service.

Journal Special Service.
Washington, March 14.-The specific
statement that Senator Reed, Smoot Of
Utah has been guilty of polygamy, hav-
ing married two plural wives, attracts
much attention here. When the atten-
ton of Senator Smoot was called to the
statements made by Mr.. Clemenson, he
entered the most emphatiq denial Of the
whole story. si4a b
cit IS utterly false, !, said he, q and
reveals to what depth Of depravity
my traducers lave descended in order
to place me in false light before the
country. L am not a polygamist and
never have been. IhaVe one wife. and
six children. I was married at Salt
Lake City, Utah, on Sept. II, 1884, TO
Alpha NJ. Eldredge, my present and
5only wife. / never was married to any
other woman; never went thru a mar
rage ceremony Of any kind with any
woman but Mrs. Alpha NJ. Eldredge
aSmoot
The story Of Mr.. Glemenson is false
from beginning to end, so far as it con-
meets MY name with that Of any other
woman than my legal wife. I have not
met and do not know any woman named
or known as Rose Hamilton who is
alleged to be wife No. q; / have never
met, nor do | know any woman named
Lottie Greenwood, who is alleged Shy
Mr.. 6aemenson I'd be my wife No. 3.
!, The whole story is malicious alb
ssurdity n
n Mr.. CIemenson 4 statementsSg give
evidence of their own absurdity. He
alleges that three years ago I first met
Rose Hamilton at an Omaha hotel,
where he says my wife and stopped.
!. He gives the date; Of her marriage to
me. as Dec. 90, 1903, a little more than
two years ago. He says my marriage
with her was the basis Of the affidavit
Of Rev. J. T.. Lellich, charging me with
being polygamist. Yet Mr.. LeIlich s
sffdavite is dated three years ago on
Feb. 25,s 1908, ten months before the
marriage date given by Mr.. Clemenson,
80 AS to my meeting any such lady in
Omaha I will say that Il newer did at
any time. The statement about Mrs
Smoot and me being at Omaha hotel
| is untrue.

Hays of Idaho Declares Western
Federation Of Miners as !
- ~. Anarchists Band.

Journal Special Service
Chicago, March 14.-tThe members.
of the Western Federation of Miners
are not labor union men, but anar-
chists,' says s. H. Hays of Boise, Idaho,
who was attorney general Of idaho in
1899 and 1900 under Governor Steunen-
berg, recently assassinated for his eff
from the Occur d'Alene district into
Colorado.
"The efforts in Chicago and other
cities to raise money to save the dyna-
miters are entirely misdirected.. 50 far
as the unions are concerned. The West
ern Federation Of Miners is not labor
organization and it's leaders have pub
licly renowned union methods as too
slow. It has no sympathy for peaceful
and honest methods. It was Edward
'Boyce, one of its presidents, who adj
vised every union man to carry a gun.
"Tho the criminals have been sdriv-
en- from Idaho, in Colorado a lot are at
large. Governor Peabody, the Color
ado supreme court judges and Cover
nor Gooding Of Idaho, are not safe. 1t
was a Colorado man who came to idaho
and assassinated former Governor
Steunenberg for enforcing law and order
five years ago. The miners meant by
their act to say to every governor who
opposed their anarchy: I'VE will muir
der you in the end, no matter how long
it takes <g#
est is hard for people in this part
Of the country to believe the condi-
tions that existed in Idaho and Color
ado: Any person who opposed Moyer,
Haywood and the other leaders was
either murdered or. driven, from the
country. A reward Of $4,000 was Of
fered for the murderers Of "a mine su

STATEHOOD BILL
TO Be SMO1HERED.
Speaker Cannon to Refer Measure
to Committee to
Block It.

Washington, March 14.-There are
indications that the statehood bill may
be referred by Speaker Cannon to the
committee on territories. This actions
the friends of statehood for Indian
Territory and Oklahoma fear, will en
tirely defeat the measure. The COM

with the senate, the bill would not,
they say, be brought into the house. .

ate, amendment to a house bill which

prove to be mineral lands.
Altho the bill goes to committee with
out a Smotion in the house, it is still on
the speakers table. Unless some mem
Der insists that the reference be made
at once, the plan is to defer the refer
ence until the return of members who
have gone south on river and harboT
inspection tour. An agreement was
made before they left whereby nothing
was to- be done with the statehood bill
until their return.
The news that the bill was to go to
committee was somewhat disconcerting
to the insurgents who have been
bending their energies to strengthen
their numbers in the execution of a
direct vote on a motion to concur in
the senate amendments to the bill. t.
some way had not been discovered to

to concur would have been in order
