SIX HUNDRED MEN
TRAPPED BY FIRE
IN NJ ADOO SHAT 7

NEW YORK, April Six hundred
'-sand hogs employed in the McAdoo
tunnel were trapped underground to-
day when fire stopped the three cleo
trio engines which feed compressed air
into the caissons where the men work
In the hurry TO get 20 the surface many
OF the mon came out of the tubes with
out making the proper stops to get ac-
customed to the change from breathing
the compressed air TO free air. and as
consequence were doubled up with
bends" 1t is feared several viii die
as a result of their experience
The fire started in an oil room ad-
Joining the engine room from some mys-
terious cause. The engineers were driven
out of the next room. They LETT the
engines running and thus kept up the
supply of compressed air until the flames
stopped the engines. Otherwise every
man would have died.
Many fell unconscious passing from
one compartment to another. They
were assisted along by comrades. Ply
sicians from the downtown districts were
summoned. Several are in such serious
condition there is little hope for their
recovery.
With the stopping n the engines water
poured into the CaissOns and a heavy
loss was caused.

portunity to vote on the right Of Reed
Smoot to a seat in the Senate. Many OF
these representatives are casting their vote
not knowing one letter of the system for
which this man stands. We make no as
sault upon his character. morally or other
wise. 1t Is sufficient to say that he Is the
representative of a system that Is treason
able to our government. Every single
covenant in the manifesto has been broken.
Polygamy Is taught and practiced as much
today as ever. At a conference he'd last
June in Cedar City, Utah. one OF the lead
ing Mormon young women of Salt Lake
City appealed to the young people of that
district to support polygamy, saying. 1t
is the foundation principle of our church:
We must support it, Another covenant
made with our government says, There
shall be no more interference with the pub
lie school system" Religion classes are
held In more than 300 public schools in
Utah. The writer was in Utah last fah
when the call was made to state superin-
tendents to organize classes and appoint
teachers. At these religion classes on
biogra phical sketches of the apostles and
their writings taught. The lives of
Joseph F. Smith. B. fh Roberts. Reed
Smoot and others are the only text books
used. The pledge was given to our gov
eminent that the manifesto should be
printed with the doctrines and covenants
of the Mormon Church and bound toget Their
in one volume. This pledge was never kept.
House in Salt Lake City revealed the fact
that new editions of doctrines and cove
nants have been printed al intervals sine
1880 under the order of Joseph F. Smith,
not one of these containing the manifesto.
Our national holiday is ignored in many
parts of Utah. but July "A is celebrated
with national spirit. being the day that
Mormons entered Utah, naming it Their
Zion. Are not national leaders
pledged to defend our government? Sena-
tor Knox of Pennsylvania has taken it
upon himself to defend Reed Shoots right
to a seat from a legal standpoint. We
challenge Senator KnoX's reading of the
law on these broken covenants. What is
high treason against our nation? Is it not
a crime punishable by law? Reed Smo 1T
has sworn his allegiance to the hierarchy.
which is not only a union of church and
state, but a system Of government that
controls the industrial, religious and COM
mercial interests of it's subjects. inda-
pendent of the United States government
and contrary to the laws of our common
wealth. Reed Smoot apostle of this
system is guilty of crime punishable by
law. Would the Pennsylvania senator take
ii upon himself to defend criminal upon
such charge? Our national leaders can
ill afford to defend such a system before
the world. If we do the finger of scorn
will be justly pointed at us by the nations
of the world.
Our senators cannot afford to sacrifice
their positions Of trust by any aff1lia ton
with the Mormon hierarchy, no difference
what promises were made to dead men.
