F. Smith According to the Same
teaching by Reed Smoot, Joseph r.
Smiths word IS absolute on this point.
When he says the word comes from
God, every member OF the hierarchy Is
bound to accept the word or the whole
fabric is false. As an apostle Reeu
Smoot cannot question that the reNela =

entire hierarchy and revelation which
comes to Smoot direct By making
such a difference he destroys the whole
theory Of the faith which he processes
he casts disparagement upon every
teaching of his own. lips and pen to the
Mormon people.
When Smoot says that he would
move to some other country to obey a
revelation from God II 1t we're
contrary to the laws OF this land, he
admits one of two propositions: First
that he would expatriate himself. desert
the Nation whose benefactions have
given to him the glory OF complete citi-

or license Is more elastic; or, second,
that he Ia a false and lying teacher

Throughout the long years Of presen-

never been uttered authoritatively

plural marriage appeared to public

Henry Smith were in custody OF a pa

enforcing the manifesto and absolutely
inhibiting further polygamy. This was
offered to appease the growing fear and
rage of GentileS who felt that they had
been betrayed. IL was never promul-
gated publicly because Gentiles called
IL "5osh."

the shelby Steel Tube Company for the

WASHINGTON. Oct. At the di-
rection Of the President official in

partments are in progress TO determine
what truth there is in allegations
made TO the hrst-naned department
that defective boiler tubes have been
furnished the Government ana In

Il has developed that the inquiry is
the outcome Of a communication from
Senator Foraker. inclosing charges
made by Frank L. Emmett OF Sharps-
WILLIE Pa. who was in charge of the
shipping department of the Shelby
Steel Tube Company. The serious na-
ture OF the charges induced the sena-
tor 10 bring them to the Navy Depart
nents attention. and the President i'm
mediately ordered both departments to
investigate.
Emmett confessed that as head of the
shipping and finishing department of
the Shelby tube mills he systematically
deceived the Government inspectors and
superintended the covering up of the
defects in tubes that had been rejected
and which were later used to fill Gov
ernment orders.

that the men who robbed the Japanese
bank are the same who killed-Johannes
Phtzner and William Friede a few
weeks ago.
One of the men under suspicion is
an American depositor, who, on Sat
urday last. placed SIS in Keeping of
the bank. On Monday he withdrew
this amount. The description of this
man tallies exactly with the tall slim
robber who was seen by at least three
persons emerging from the bank prem
ises after the murder and robbery had
been accomplished. a watch has been
placed upon this mans home and spe-
cial orders have been issued to ap-
prehend him wherever seen.
TWO SUSPECTS DISCHARGED.
Suspicion naturally attaches to this
man because Of the Irregular manner
Of transacing his business. Why he
should deposit small amount of
money in bank that had no par
ticular4 commercial standing and with
draw the deposit at the earliest op-
portunity is a circumstance demanding
