Robert Lowell HUT, the four-and-a-
half-year-old son of Gid and Grace HUT
of Pittsfeld, died at the home of his
grandparents, Wednesday morning, July
81, at l; 80 o'clock. He was taken i'll
Tuesday morning with slight attack of

indigestion, followed by commissions.
The attending physicians were Drs. F. C.
Fletcher and Fred Edmunds. Every
thing that loving hands or medical skill
could do was to no avail. 1.-THE Master
had stretched TO tn his hands, the little
child must respond"
So sudden and unexpected was the
news of little Roberts death that spirit
of gloom was cast over the whole COM
munity, for he was loved and petted by
all.
The funeral services Thursday after
noon at o'clock were in charge of Rev.
Fred Wilson Day, pastor of the Cong'l
church. His text was the last words OF
III Kings 426, SIS it well with thy
child? 1t is well.n The thought that
was emphasized and accomplished in
Mr.. Days discourse was, "Your little
child is safe"
"Safe in the arms OF Jesus.
safe on gentle breast.
There by Bis love o'ershaded,
sweetly my soul shall rest.
Hark tits the voice of Angels
Borne in a song to me
Over the fields OF glory,
over the Jasper sea,
Jesus, my he,rt's dear refuge,
Jesus has died for me.
Here let me wait with patience,
Wait till the night is DER;
Wait till see the morning
Break on the go den shore"
Music was furnished at the service by q
quartet composed of Mrs. Gould, Miss
Rogers, Messrs. Chedel and Day, with
Miss Alice Chedel, organist.
lnterment was at Mount Pleasant ceme-
terry, under the direction of Martin Wy
man, Jr. Amid profusion of flowers,
he was laid to rest. With sad hearts, his
friends and loved ones left him, and yet
there was the joyous consciousness that
their little boy was sweetly sleeping in
the arms of that One who when He was
upon earth folded little children to his
breast and loved them.

 Hon. F. P Sargent. commissioner gem eral of Immigration, reviewed the work of this department of the national gov ernment and suggested methods by which the tide of immigration could be diverted from western and eastern states to the southern farms, factories and workshops. He declared that the national government was doing all possible to have the large influx of foreigners scattered over the various states in order that they would "assimate or become Americanized in customs and business methods. Out of 1,1O00O0 foreingers coming to this country last year. only small percentage had come to the southern states. He de- clared that the south offered more varied advantages to the homeseeker than any other section of the country, where one could labor every day in the year because Of the equable climate.

 Loudly Cheered.

Berlin, February 19.--Emperor William opened the new Reichstag today amid a gorgeous stage setting in the greate white hall of the palace. identified for centu- ries with great events of the house of Hohenzollern. Members of the Reichstag In uniform or evening dress, assembled on the floor of the hall, but there was not q socialist among them, for being anti-mon- archists and republicans they refused to countenanoe the sovereign in any form. The Empress, attended by the Crown Princess Cecelia and numerous Princesses of the German ruling houses, occupied great box at one end of the hall, while from another box, adjoining the imperial loge, the diplomatic corps surveyed the scene. Among those in the latter box were Ambassador and Mrs. Tower and Professor and Mrs. Burgess.
 The Emperor attended divine service in the private chapel fthe palace at 10:5o a. m and listened to a sermon by Court Preacher Faber, who took as his text the words of the prophet Isiah, Be not afraid" After this the Emperor waited in the picture gallery adjoining the white ball until the ministers of state, generals admirals and all the great off, cers of state had grouped themselves on the right of the throne, while on the left were the members of the federal coun- cil, representing all of the states of the empire, the imperial chancery, Prince Von Buelow, standing a pace in advance of this body.

POLYGAMY DENIED BY MORMON SENATOR Never Had But One Wife, Says DEFENSE BEFORE SENATE Address Is on Subject of Mormonism. Polygamy Part of Religion, But
 Not obIisatory-No ln-
 consistent Oath.
DEFENSE BEFORE SENATE

Washington, February 19.-Speaking in his own defense Senator Reed Shoot ad- dressed the Senate today on the general subject of Mormonism. He condemned polygamy in the strongest terms and de- clared emphatically that he had taken no oath inconsistent with that he has taken as senator. MT. Shoot spoke as follows:
 MT President In what l shall say to the Senate, do not intend to analyze the voluminous testimony taken before the committee or to make an argument thereon. The greater part of this testi- mony has been before the Senate for more than two years, and all of it for nearly one year. It has been fully argued by the distinguished senator's who have al- ready spoken upon this question, my own testimony, covering more than 125 pages of the record is before you, and l do not feel that I should trespass upon your time by indulging in any extended dis cussion. Indeed, I should have been con tent to submit the case upon the record and speeches made by others, without saying anything myself, except that there are certain matters which can be known only to myself; and I think that the Senate is entitled to a frank statement from me as to my personal attitude re- specting these matters. The Senate is en- titled to my personal attitude upon the subject of poygamy and upon the sub ject of loyalty to this government upon these two matters. l shall express my self briefly but with entire candor.
 Not a PoIysamist.
 First, I desire to state, as I have re- peatedly heretofore stated. to the Senate and to the country that I am not and never have been a polygamist. l have never had but one wife and she is my present wife.
 There has been a more or less preya- lent opinion that the doctrine of polyga- my was obligatory upon the members of the Mormon church, whereas, in truth and fact, no such obligatory doctrine has ever existed. The revelation concerning polygamy as originally made and as al- ways interpreted is that it is permissible and not mandatory As matter of fact, only d small percentage or the adherents of that faith have ever been polygamists. The vast majority of the adult members of the church from It's foundation to the present time have been monogamists.
 ''The Mormon people, however regarded this doctrine. although permissible in character-as part of their religious faith and when the law was passed denouncing it's practice, the exel fion or the law was resisted on the grol that 1t was un- constitutional. as b, an interference with their religious | Appeals were taken to the highest of the land. every phase of the was tested fin the courts and tn vas upheld.
