EARLY DECISION
IN ShOOT CASE
Settlement Is Looked for
at This Session.
ARGUMENTS ON WEDNESDAY
Former Secretary John G. Carlisle VIII
Present the Case of the
Prosecution.

John G. Carlisle, attorney for the
prosecution in Senator Reed Smoot's
case before the Senate Committee on
Privileges and Elections. will present
his side of the case on next Wednesday
at 1880 o'clock He viii argue for the
unseating OF Senator Smoot on the
grounds that he has been, is now a
Mormon, and that under his obligations
TO the church he is not fully eligible
to perform the duties Of an United
States Senator.
Chairman Burrows has given notice
that Mr.. Carlisle conclude his opening
remarks in one hour. Following this.
Col. A S. Worthington. defending SEN
ator Smoot. will present the other side
Of the case.
AS inferred by the line of testimony
adduced by the defense. Mr.. Worthing-
ton will argue that the Mormon Church
observes the national holiday and that
1t has incorporated in the song books
in use in its Sunday schools all the
patriotic songs familiar TO non-Mor-
mons. Along this line he will endeavor
to shoS that much of the evidence sub
mitse5 by the prosecution is unground-
ed and that the compact of the church
in no way impairs a man in exercising
all the functions OF a Senator.
The Smoot adherents are confident of
VindicaJion. They point out that even
in the recent hearings the prosecution
has not established one single conten-
tion as fact. and claim that when
the Senate committee digests the tes-
timony and the arguments of counsel
a report favorable to Mr.. Smoot viii be
rendered.
The opposition is not making any
statements as TO results expected. 1t
claims that clear case has been es-
tablished. and, in so far as Mr.. Smoot
is concerned has recorded the fact that
he is not a Mormon.
Attorney Carlisle will close the case
with an argument in answer to Mr.
Worthingtons summing up OF the evil
dence. Senator. Burrows hopes to con-
clude the case by Friday. 1t will then
be taken up by the committee for final
report The prospects for Il being settled
during this session are exceedingly
bright.
