chair in the superior court room and
could notutter word in reply to ques-

his dead wife. which was conveyed to
him through Bright Star" the Indian

that his dead wife had really sent him
the messages he had received. Then
he brought suit for divorce and the
case was called for trial. AS Amos
went to the witness chair his eyes
rested for 8 moment on those Of his
wife. The glance transf1xed him and
he was spcechless from that time Not
a word did he utter when asked ques-
tons by his counsel and the court and
q recess was taken to inquire into the
cause, as it was plain that something
was the matter.
Doctor Says He Was Hypnotized.
The witness was led into an ante
room and examined by DR.. Kludge,
who reported to the court that he was
under q hypnotic spell and was not
able TO testify. Court then adjourned
and Amos was instructed by his attor-
ney not to look at his wife when he
went to the witness chair in the after
noon. At 2 p. m. court reconyened
and the old man backed into the chair
and kept his head turned away from
bis wife while testifying. At times he
was much excited, but succeeded final
" in telling the story of his wifes
messages from the spirit land and how
wife No. 2 had obtained his property.
He asks for a divorce and the return
Of his property.

It seems that work on the trolley
lines is much more attractive to mo-

city lines. For this reason a number
OF trusted employees with long service
on city lines are securing positions
on the interurban lines. The city
line managers are strenuous in their
objections to losing their valuable
men, but the interurban managers
seem obdurate in their presidency in

Put by President Smith as to
Those Contracting Plural
Marriages Before 1890.
PROBLEM FOR TIME TO SETTLE
Took His Wives in Good Faith and by
Solemn Ceremony-Has Forty
Three Children.

Salt Like City, Nov. 24.-Joseph r.
Smith, president of the Mormon church,
appeared in the district court before
Judge Richie, pleaded guilty to
charge of unlawful cohabitation, and
fine Of $500 was imposed. The charge
under which the Mormon prophet was
arrested and fined was based on the
recent birth of President Smiths for
ty-third child. born to his fifth wife.
Earlier in the day counsel for Presi-
dent Smith secured a transfer Of the
case from the criminal division of the
court, where Judge Armstrong pre-
sided, to Judge Ritchies division. Aft
er the noon recess, when the court
room was practically deserted, Presi-
dent Smith went before Judge Richie,
offered his plea and the fine was i'm
posed.
Problem Wants Time for Solution.
President Smith addressed the court.
He stated that his last marriage was
In 1884. All his marriages, he said.
were entered into with the sanction OF
his church, and as they believed with
the approval OF the Lord. According
to his faith and the law Of the church
they were eternal in duration. He con-
tinued: "In the tacit understanding
that was had in 1890 and the years
subsequent thereto regarding what
were classed as the old cases of co
habitation, have appreciated the
magnanimity of the American people
in not enforcing policy that in their
minds was unnecessarily harsh, but

difficult problem to the onward prog

prohibited. When l accepted the mani
festo issued by President MILFORD
Woodruff l did not understand that l

discard my wives. Knowing the sacred
covenants and obligations which had

WATER CONFERENCE CALLED
City to Renew Municipal Water Pro-
ject Next Week, and Prompt
Action Is Promised
Special to The Herald.

Special to The Herald
PASADENA, Nov las an evidence
of it's sincerity in backing up the
statement that it will push the mu-
nicipal water plant through to a sue
cessful conclusion, the administration
announces this evening that the four
big water companies have each been
invited to a conference with the city
for a different day next week. At
these conferences, If agreeable to the
companies, propositions for the water
people to sell out to the city will be
brought up and considered.
The smaller companies will be given
the first hearings, the North Side COM
pany coming up on Monday of next
week, the East Side on Tuesday, the
West Side on Wednesday and the Lake
Vineyard on Thursday. Whether the
conferences will be held on these exact
dates depends entirely upon the wishes
of the water companies.
1t is hoped as the outgrowth of these
meetings that valid options for the
plants of the four companies can be
obtained and then the question of vot-
ing bonds will for a second time be be-
fore the people. 1t is probable that the
water companies will want more than
they did two years ago when the
former options were given. If more is
demanded the wrath of the people will
fall upon the heads of the administra-
tion for resembling last week all pro-
ceedings leading up to and including
the successful voting of bonds over
year ago.
