HE DEFENDS PoLYcAMY.
Elder Roberts Declares Church Has Not Surrendered One lota of It's
 Belief in Plural Marriages.

Salt Lake City. June 11.--A sensa- tional feature of the controversy which has been waged between the ministers of the Evangelical churches and the Mormon priesthood was the address delivered in the Tabernacle Sunday by Elder Brigham H. Roberts, once excluded from congress because of his polygamous practices. He spoke in reply to an open letter pub lishel by the ministerial association. Elder Roberts frankly declared that the church had surrendered not one iota of it's belief in the principle of polygamy. but countenanced no poly gamous marriages while they were for bidden by law. Of himself he said:
 ''I stand exactly where l did ten years ago, namely that though the church proclaimed against the contin- nation of this relationship, though the state proclaimed against it, neither the church nor the state may absolve the moral obligations I am under, or release me from that moral daty.''
 Mr. Roberts characterized the minis ters as belonging to third sex neither male nor female and said they were better qualified for pink teas than statesmanship. All of the high of ficials of the church, including Pres ident Smith, were present and tactic ally endorsed the address of Mr. Rob. erts as an utterance of the church bedy.

West of the District of Columbia, and James D Richard son, the sovereign grand commander of the Ancient and Accepted Scottish Rlte of Free Masonry of the Southern Jurisdiction. There was music by the Marine band and the singing of the hymn America"
 An interesting feature was the fact that the gavel and the trowel used Tn the ceremony were the same as those used by President Washington when the cornerstone of the United States capitol was laid, September IS. 1I93. The Bible, is the one used by Fredericksburg Lodge No. of Vir- ginia when Presldent Washington was made a Mason.
 For long time the Masons of Washington have been looking for ward to the construction of a new temple, the initial steps having been taken ten years ago.

STILL CHILLING ORCHARD
cross Examination of States Wit ness in Haywood Trial at Boise,
 Idaho, Continues.
ASSUMPTIONS BY ATTORNEYS DENIED
Miners, Attorneys Make Strong At tempt to Show that Independence Station Outrage Was "Plsnt" of the Enemies of the Federation and intended to be Harmless.

Boise June 1.-The defenders of william D. Haywood, continuing their eross examination of Harry Orchard, are making a strong attempt to show that the independence station out rage instead of being procured by the Western Federation of Miners, was plant" of the enemies of the federation intended to be compara- lively harmless, and converted by mischance into great tragedy. Or ehard had testified that he and Adams pulled the trigger of the mine before the train reached the station and the defense seeks to make it ap- near that it was planned to blow up the station, not only before the train arrived, but before the non-union men. working in the neighboring mines, came down to the tram.
 orchard in explanation of his act in setting off the mine before the train arrived, swore that Sherman Parker, of the Western Federation of Miners, had friend on the train --one Bush, who had previously been a friendly witness in the train wreck ing case-and asked that care be taken not to injure him. Orchard also denied that the mine owners or the railroad detective managers had plotted the explosion.
 The defense had previously shown that as far as the witness knew, Mover, Haywood and Pettibone had nothing to do with the Vindicator plot, and that Mover and Haywood had nothing to do with planning the murder of Lyte Gregory.
 Orchard said he believed that they were parties to boun plans, but he could not, of his own knowledge, say that they were.
 The defense made attempts to show that Orchard is testifying under the coaching and control of Detective Mcfarland but this the witness de- nied with spirit. saying Mcfarland and Attorney Hawley had cautioned him to tell nothing but the truth.
 In the course of the cross examina- tion. Orchard admitted he had burned his cheese factory, near Brighton, in Canada. and collected s6o0 insurance.
 The Western Federation of Miners fin convention at Denver sent the fol. lowing telegram to Messrs Mover, Haywood and Pettibone, at Boise:
 Fifteenth annual convention sends greetings. Confident of our in- nocence and we are with you until your honor is vindicated and your freedom assured"

Shoshone county It Is believed that Adams nas made up his mind to refuse to testify when he is placed on the stand.

Washington. June S.-The indorse- ment of Senator Knox for the presi- dency by Pennsylvania republican state convention in Harrisburg Friday followed by the senator's open declar- ation of his candidacy in New York Friday night are regarded by politi- clans here as very significant events in presidential politics. The effect of the action of the convention in Harris burg was largely discounted, as it has been known for several weeks 1t would be taken. But the senator's prompt announcement that he was for mally in the race for the nomination caused politicians here to take notice
 It was at once realized that the sen ator's announcement meant business of the liveliest kind and that from this on there will be busy times in the presidential field on the repub- lican side. The senator's announce ment was not made without mature deliberation, full consultation with his friends and a careful canvass of the field and of the resources that can be brought to bear in his behalf The senator and his friends have decided that they Have chance to win the nomination. 1t is believed here that from this on there will be an ener getic organization in various states in Senator Knox's interest Under the leadership of Senator Murray Crane, of Massachusetts and other New England senators and political leaders that section of the country will be contested county by county with the supporters of the admins traitor, who are bent on swinging it for Secretary Taft. Senator Crane Is very astute and resourceful politi- clan and he has friends in plenty sup piled with the sinews of war.
 If the Massachusetts delegation is instructed for Crane himself that will mean it's delivery to Knox when the proper time comes. In the opinion of politicians in Washington the devel- opments of Friday make Senator Knox the most formidable opponent to Sec retary Taft i'll the contest for the re publican nomination.

OPEN TALK OF WAR WITH UNITED STATES
Leader of Opposition in Tokio Says if Diplomacy Fails to Bring About Satisfactory Solution of Differ ences an Appeal to Arms Must be Resorted to.

Washington, June 1I.-That the progressives, a political party of Jap an, have entered into an alliance which has the earmarks of an international conspiracy with the overthrow of the present ministry in Japan and the an nulment of the clause in the immigra- tioR bill excluding Japanese coolie la bor from continental United States as the ultimate objects, was learned au- thorititatively here Sunday, The prelim- mary steps in this scheme, it is said, will be to induce the Tokio government to recall Viscount Aoki, the Japanese ambassador to the United States, and to dsmand an apology and perhaps an indemnity from this government for the alleged acts of violence against Japanese subjects residing in San Francisco.
 With this end in view, represents tives of the faction hostile to the Saonji ministry have been in Washing ton to consult with the Japanese am bassador and the state department of ficials regarding the objectionable clause in the immigration bill, the California school question and lhe recent riots in San Francisco.
