when not. ..--. ~.

ONE SIDE Of SN0O1
CASE IS FINISHED
Protestants in the Proceedings
Against the Utah Senator
Close Their Case
LAST WITNESS HEARD TO-DAY
smurthwaite, Of Ogden, Tells How the
Church Interferred With His Bus
mess and Nearly Crushed Him -
Counsel for Defense Of smoot Will
Rest for Few Days.

Washington, Feb 9-Counsel for
protestants in the proceedings against
Senator Smoot before the senate COM
mittee on elections closed their case
this morning.
c. A. Smurthwaite, of Ogden, was
the last witness. He said the usual
course to settle difficulties between
members of the church is to lay COM
plants with teachers of the ward in
which the aggrieved reside and the
bishop, after hearing the complaint,
ordinarily instructs the teachers to do
everything in their power to adjust
the differences. Worthington asked
Smurthwaite if he had any reason to
believe his trouble with President
Smith, over their rival salt interests
could not have been adjusted in the
same way Witness replied: Yes;
my knowledge of the leaders of the
church convinced me that was impos-
sible."
Senator Knox inquired if the Nor
mon first presidency had followed up
insisted upon continuing in the salt
business. He said his company went
on and made salt, but it's competitors
reduced the price of crude salt from So
to 81 ton. Witness said his company
had been compelled to pile up its pro-
duction. The effect, he said. was to
injure his credit and depreciate the
value of the stock of the company.
After explaining the tithing system
Of the Mormon church, Smurthwaite
was asked If tithes were invested in
Corporations.
II am fearful that 1t is" he replied.
He estimated tithing brought the
church a revenue of from million and
a half to two million dollars a year,
but no accounting had been made, as
far as he knew.
A. S. Worthington, who represents
Smoot, said he was not ready to pro-
ceed but would communicate with
Chairman Burrows within few days.
The character Of the evidence offered
this session, said he, made it necessary
to call from a hundred to two hun
dred witnesses to disprove the testi-
mony of the prosecution, unless the
committee permitted filing affidavits.
