Senator Fears He May Give His Col
leagues That Inpression-Esger for
Campaign Funo Investigation.

WASHINGTON. d. c., April II
Mr.. Ti!lmar today called up his resoiu-
ton directing the committee on finance
to make inquiry concerning political con-
trlbutions by rational banks. He eX-
pressed fear that his frequent speaking
on the subject would cause the feeling
that he was cranky on it. Neverthe
less he felt his responsibility to be so
great thai he could not refrain from
calling attention TO the facts. He then
had read al article by James ". Breen,
printed III the New York Herald en-
titled: How the Banks Filled Han
ma War Chests making it the basis of
his comments.
Mr.. Illlman stated that he had been
told that the total contributions TO the
Republican fund in 1896 had been So
100000, in 1900 $2,S00,000 and in 1904
$1,900,OOO. He added tLat statements
OF contributors and of those who did not
contribute were made periodically to the
committee and that the President knew
they were. He said Secretary Root was
responsible for the appointment of eX-
Secretary Morton as the head of the
Equitable Life. and chat the purpose of
his selection had been to head off the
insurance investigation. Mr.. Tillman
announced his conviction that the nation
al banks were even now contributing to
state campaigns in order to keep favor
lite parties i'll power. He would have
both parties investigated and wanted the
committee to send for the chairman and
auditor of the Democratic party as well
as the chairman ard auditor of the Re-
publican committee.

MORMONS ARE REWARDED
President Smiths Revelation Appoints
Son as Head of Church at
His Death

KANSAS CITY, Mo-, April 17.-Jo-
seph Smith, president Of the reorganized
Church of Latter Day Saints has re-
warded his followers for their fasting
and prayer by giving to the conference
of the church in session in Independence,
Mo-, a revelation which appoints his son,
Frederick NJ. Smith, to be his successor
in the event of his deah.
This was considered the most i'm
portant message ever given to the church
as nothing in the annals of the reorgan-
lied church has been considered so vital
as the question as to who would succeed
to the presidency.
For time it looked very much as
though the revelation would create q
schism in the church, as it was believed
by some that the revelation of April,
1902, conficted with the present message
as to President Smiths successor, but
after some discussion the revelation was
adopted unanimously. President Smith
soon afterward entered the church, fol
lowed by his son.

ST. PAUL, Mimi, April 1T.-Judge
Sanborn in the United States circuit
court of appeals today handed down
decision in the ease of Morgan Jones VS..
the Missouri Edison Electric company.
The court reverses the decree of the
lower court.
The case involves the merger of all
the electric light and power companies

cally holds that there is basis for an
action and while the issue was not ex-
actly he legality of the corporation. the
forming of that merger was legal under

that Mr.. DENLY was drawing on his

but that he had no personal feeling IN
the matter; that no one was more friend
ly disposed toward the Chinese than
himself, and that he would not seek to
make an issue of the misunderstanding.
