ters-Pierce Oil company to Texas. The
resolution will be debated next Monday
when 1t is expected both Bailey and Da-

tomorrow as substitute for the one
now before the body. The substitute seeks
to offset the charges made against Sena-
tor Bailey in the first resolution. stating
that he has admitted all his connections
with Pierce, Kirby and the Tennessee
Coal company, and has successfully re-
sisted the charges. The Bailey resolu-
ton suggests that the speaker appoint a
committee of seven members who shall
pass upon the Bailey Waterg-Pierce oil
case. If they decide there is foundation
for the charges, they shall so report TO
the Legislature. which then can decide as
to the charges to be preferred

CHANCE
APPEARS GOOD
Chicago Newspaper Believes
Apostle Will Retain His
Place in Senate.

Chicago. Jan. IA dispatch to the
Tribune from Washington says:
Senator Reed Smoot will hold his seat
in the senate unless before his tern ex-
pires he does something to justify expul-
sion.
There is at present a majority in the
senate who believe that he cannot be de-
prived of his seat under existing condl-
lions and that in no case can he be put
out of the senate except by the method
of expulsion which requires a two-thirds
vote
Senator Shoots term does not expire
until two years from next March A re-
port tayorIng his being dropped from the
rolls in some manner has been made by
the senate committee on privileges and
elections, as a result of a combination
between Democrats ana two Republican
senators. a majority Of the Republicans
on that committee, embracing some of
the greatest lawyers in the country are
OF the opinion that Smoot could not be
deprived of his seat unless it could be
shown that he had committed some crime
or had been guilty OF some improper act
since his election. which would Justify
the senate in expelling him.
majority of the sena tors embra cling
practically all the Republicans, take this
view, holding that on constitutional ba-
sis SmOot Is entitled TO his seat I'm the
first place, and, secondly, that the evil
dence brought out has not justified the
belief that he was personally responsible
or was even responsible as an officer of
the Mormon church for the practice of
polygamy. 1t has been positively proved
that SmoOt himself is not and never was
a pOlygamist.
For these reasons he will hold his seat.
in spite OF the natural sentiment through
out the country that no Mormon ought
TO be in the senate of the United States
so long as the president of the church is
admittedly the husband of plural wives.
