Directors to Utah Senator Holdinq His
Seat Have Concluded Their
Case. ~

Washington, Feb. 12.-Counsel for thu
p~rotestants in the proceedings against
Senator Smoot before the senate COM
mittee on elections closed their case
this morning.
c. A. Smurthwaite Of Ogden was tho
last witness. He said the usual course
TO settle difficulties between members
of the church is to lay the complaints
with the teachers Of the ward in which
the aggrieyed reside and the bishop
after hearing the complaint, ordinarily
lnstructs the teachers to do every.
thing in their power to adjust differ
enCes.
Worthington asked S~murthwaite II
ne mad any reason to believe his trou-
Bile with President Smith over theii
rival salt interests could not have beer
adjusted in the same way.
The witness replied: Eyes. my
knowledge Of the leaders of the church
convinced me that it was impossible"
Senate Knox inquired if the Nor
mon first presidency had followed up
its threat to ruin him because he in
sisted upon continuing In the salt bus
mess.
Witness said his company went on
and made salt. but it's competitors re-
duced the price of crude salt from IS
to 50 q ton. Witness said his company
had been compelled to pile up It's pro-
duction. The effect, he said. was to
lnjure his credit and depreciate the
value of the stock of his company. AZ
ter explaining the tithing system of the
Mormon church Smurthwaite was asked
il tithes were invested in corporations.
4 am fearful that 1t Is" he replied.
He estimated that the tithing brought
the church a revenue of from 81 1900. 900
to $4,000 900 a year, but no accounting
had been made so far as he knew.
A.. S. Worthingtol, who represents
Smoot, said he was not ready to pro-
coed. but would communicate with
Chairman Burrows within a few days.
The character of the evidence offered
this session, said he, made it necessary
to call from 100 to 200 witnesses to dis
prove the testimony of the prosecution,
unless the committee permitted the fill
ing of affidavits.

sol in the community would then have
