doned every offense ever committed

laws Of the country by the Mormon
church. Not the least among the long
list of those ofrenses was the sending
10 this high legislative tribunal one Of
the active apostles of the Mormon or
ganization. These words are not ut
tered in hostility to, or out OF any lack
of respect to Smoot. They are spoken
to give expression to the views | hold

the public record which it has made
for itself"

spreading rail caused the wreck of the
White Plains express on the New York
Central railroad last Sunday night. in
which three persons were killed, was
developed at the coroner's inquest yes
terday.
Under the examination Of Assistant
District Attorney Nathan A. Sluyth,

maintenance of way, n. S. Balliett, tes-
titled that he found that the end Of one
of the rails on the outside of the curve
at the point of derailment had been
sprung sidewise distance of five
inches. The other end of the rail was
held in place, but where the rail spread
the spikes holding the outside of the
rail to the ties had been sliced off as
if by palmer. The heads Of the bolts
holding the end Of this rail to the next
rail were broken off.
A tremendous force, Mr.. Balliett

spikes, but he did not know whether
the speed Of the train would have been
sufficient The inquest will. be con-
tinued today.

Paul Morton Says the Equitable 10 az
Solvent as Any Company.
New York. Feb. 20-Rumors were
circulated In the financial district to-
day to the effect that receiver was
about to be appointed for the Equitable
Life Assurance society. When the re-
ports We're called to the attention of
Paul Morton, president of the society.
he made the following statement:
Mr.. Morton pronounced the rumor
OF an impending receivership for the
Equitable Assurance society not only
absurd but ridiculous. The person who
put it in circulation doubtless used as
a basis the recent decision Of the court
of appeals reversing Judge HazePs de-
cision sustaining the society's demurrer
in the case of ]. Wilcox Brown against
the society, in which Messrs Dos
Passos brothers are of the counsel for
the plaintiff.
The decision In this case Is upon a
very narrow question, and has not the
remotest bearing upon the society's
solvency.
Mr.. Morton said he knew of no corr
poration in the world which was more
solvent and less likely to go into the
hands of receiver than the Equitable.
John r. Dos Passos, who will repre-
sent j. Wilcox Brown and other pol
icyhohers that have brought suit
against the society, said he could fully
confirm Mr.. Morton's statement.

sin all the troubles you went thru,
continued Jerome, you never thought
of anything but that your mother

No"

thought about her daughter going on
the stage.
Mamma said that ought not go out

said that the show was all right. but
that she ought to go along"

ner that she had ever posed in the

lations with James A. Garland, whom
she knew before she met White. Mrs
Thaw said that she had been on Gar
lands yacht, but always accompanied
by her mother.
Were you named as a correspondent
in Garland's divorce suit?" asked Jer-

Mrs Holman's testimony.

retorted to Delmas, who had raised an
objection.
Mrs. Thaw's cross examination had
an absorbing interest for her husband.
He leaned far forward on his counsels'
table with his chin in the palm OF his
left hand. During the morning ses-

over and was heard to whisper to his
