Senator Du Bds Of Idaho Sees
Danger in Spread Of 4
Political Power.
STAMPING OUT P0LPGAMr
He Wants An Amendment to the Con.
stltutlon Giving Federal Govern.
rnent Authority to Deal With
Unlawful Capitalization.

| Aurora, ILL.,, Aug Ex-senator Du
Bots Of Idaho, Sunday afternoon ad
dressed an audience Of 1000 persons
on the, probability of the spreading Of
Mormon political power to all parts
Of the United States. He urged hid
hearers to use their influence with
congressman to prevent the continu.
ance of polygamous marriages which
he said were still made among Nor.
mons.
Senator Dubois of Idaho, urged his
hearers to use their influence with the
Illinois representatives in congress
to secure an amendment to the CON
stitution under which the federal gov
ernmcnt win have power to deal with
unlawful cohabitation and polygamy.
He devoted considerable time to the
Mormon question, which he said re-
CURED attention In order to stamp out
the growing power of Mormonism.
you cannot convict the Mormons,
said he, "of polygamy. To prove
polygamy you must prove second
marriage. Plural marriages among
the Mormons are performed by high
officials Of that church in secret
places, either in their temples or in
foreign countries, and no record Is
kept of the plural marriages.
Unlawful cohabitation can be prov
on by circumstantial evidence, the su.
preme court Of the United States
having defined unlawful cohabitation
to be the holding out to the world, by
a man, Of more thon one woman as
his wife. "A law against unlawful CO.
habitation II the enforcement were in
the hands of the federal authorities,
would put the leaders of the Mormon
church in the penitentiary, and this
would destroy their political power,
and destroy polygamy. They exercise
their political power in order to pro.
tect Themselves in their polygamy,
and when they found out that they
had to go to the nenitentiary or give |
up polygamy, they would give up poly.
gatny, and with it, their political pow
Dr. would disappear.
THE M6rmons absolutely control
Utah now politically, and a United
States senator governor or congress-
nan cannot be elected III Idaho or
against the wishes Of the
Mormon church. They are a great
balance Of the power in Oregon, and
Will soon control the senators in
hat state. They are beginning to be
cry powerful in Nevada. Unless
hecled, they will become the balance
{ power in 1.-THE senate Of the United
tates. They have become an object
I solicitude to the great political par
les, and for the first time in the his
Dry Of the government this Mormon
nd polygamist question is becoming
question Of partisan politics"

"It must be nearly two miles to the
end Of the main street, where the mine
that makes the town is located. Here
hundreds Of men are employed in the
mine itself, the smelter and the con-
contractor. The plant has both steam
and electric railroads of it's own and
stretches over big section Of hill and
gulch.
my impression Is that this will be
the first time that an actress of Mrs.
Fiske's distinction, together with a
company comprising such noted play
ers as John Mason, George Arliss,
Charles Harbury, Marion Lea and the
others in the Manhattan company,
have appeared in a town like Globe.
The chance to see New York COM
pany and production, especially when 1t
is one of the notable successes of the
season, in the first year of it's career,
is something that even Los Angeles
not to mention Arizona mining camps
does not often have.'
The tour that brings Mrs. .Fiske tt
| the Burbank next week is another In
stance of her pluck in the face of the
obstacles that her independence makes
for her Though on account of this in
dependence most Of the theaters where
first-class attractions regularly play
are barred to her, Mrs. Fiske is making
a tour of unusual length that will in
clude merry all of the principal cities of
the west An odd feature of the jour-
ney is the fact that she and her COM
pany are travelling on Dunkard tickets,
though the Dunkards themselves alb
hor the theater and all it's people. But
the Dunkard rates were lower than the
regular fare and open to everyone, so
the company took advantage of them.

SHOWERS DRENCH
SUNDAY CROWDS
Rain, Unusual This Late in Season;
Catches Churchgoers and Holi-
day Seekers Without
Protection

Several thousand light-hearted An
gelenos who put their trust in the
weather prophets were previously dis
appointed yesterday when Jupiter Plu-
vius, in contradiction to all precedent,
unloosed his showers in the after
noon. Fair and cloudy" said the To-
cal seer; CLOUDY and unsettled said
the state prophet of things pertaining
to his field; and neither gave warming
of the rain which came about o'clock.
Rain as late as May rs is rara avis
and as unwelcome as 1t Is infrequent;
and perhaps none of the Sunday
crowds who received the dripping ap-
preciated the novel experience of show
ers at this time of the year.
At 1 o'clock a few scattered drops
fell, but not enough to make an inl-
preston on the dusty streets. At b
O'Clock, however, the precipitation was
more general and a great deal heavier;
and throughout the downtown district
the streets were cleaned and the side
walks drenched by the shower.
The later shower caught many peo-
pie on the streets. Everywhere cover
less automobiles made a hasty run for
the nearest garage, pedestrians sought
the closest shelter of friendly awning
or open store and everybody looked
surprised and grieved at the remarka-
BILE phenomenon.

NOTES OF INTEREST
FROM LONG BEACH

Special to The Herald.
LONG BEACH, 26.-The Apostolic
mission, the Holy Rollers church on
Locust avenue, has been the cause of
much unrest on the part of people liv-
ing near, as meetings are frequently
continued until 2 and 3 o'clock in the
morning Several persons have at diff
ferent times found it necessary to Sc
cure the aid of the police in quieting
the enthusiasts. Today the leader of
the flock, Rev. e. McCauley, negro,
applied to the police for protection from
persons whom he said make fun of his
services and interrupt them.
Beginning June 8, Profs. Neel and
Whittiker of the public schools will
open a six weeks summer school for
the benefit of pupils who have been
unable to pass their regular examina-
tions or for any who desire to try Tor
advanced standing.
A crowd which filed the seats In the
Y. M. G. A. gymnasium last night wit
messed highly creditable athletic ex-
hibition given by about fifty members
of the different classes which have been
in training under Director Merwin dur
ing the winter months. The leaders
in the classes were: Junior b, Glen
Carl, junior A, Albert Morosco; work.
ing boys, Charles Tharsing; inter-
mediate, John Richards; senior B, fly
ing rings, Merrill Foote; parallel bars,
Wilmot Long; tumbling, Harry Owens.
The Central NJ. r. team is now lead
ing in the first division of the Sunday
School Baseball league and the First
M e. lads are ahead in the second
section. These two teams will COM
pete next Saturday afternoon for the
championship of the league.
Owners of property in the Long
Beach Park tract are about to bring
suit against the Alamitos Land COM
pany to compel the latter to park the
bluff opposite the tract and also to oil
the streets and pipe gas into the tract.
The parlSites claim that the land COM
pany promised these improvements
when the land was bought by them.
Numerous inquiries are made as to
the length of Long Beach blocks and
the computation of distance. Accord
ing to city Engineer Shaw, three
blocks between California and Mag
nolia avenue make a quarter of a
mile. Beginning at First street, the
same rule holds good for the streets
running north and south.
At one time the security of the outer
wharf was threatened because of the
great holes which were secured out
about the base of the cylinders by the
waves and tides. This condition has
changed, however, and Wharfinger
Beattie states that the bottom of the
ocean beneath the pier is level as a
floor. During the last four weeks there
