GREAT CROWDS PRESENT.
Trongs Gather In Zion at Annual
Conference.

With three meetings, comprising
five sessions, the seventy-eighth an
nual general conference of the Church
of Jesus Christ of Latter.day Saints
came to a close Sunday afternoon.
Sundays services in the tabernacle
were attended by numbers that found
the vast auditorium inadequate. Presi.
dent Joseph +. Smith invoked the
blessing of the Divinity on the people
of all the world, particularly those
who dwell In Zion; he prayed that
mercy be extended to the enemies of
the church. Anthem II. Lund, second
counselor of the first presidency, dis.
cussed the subject of marriage and
the growth of the Mormon people.
Apostle Oron F. Whitney talked about
the duty of the church membership
In sustaining the authorities, VINO, he
declared, were appointed according to
the will of God. Apostle Francis M.
Lyman urged the necessity of assign
ing properly equipped men to the mis-.
sionary field. Apostle J. II. Smith
spoke on the evil resulting from the
indulgence In an excess of worldly
pleasures.
II Is estimated by a man who took
account of the number of Sundays
attendants in the tabernacle, assembly
hall and outdoor meetings that there
were $4,000 in attendance.

THAW'S SANITY
BEYOND DOUBT
SLAYER of White Wins Victory
After a Rigid Mental and
Physical Examination
District Attorney Jerome Enters Wig.
orous Protest Against confirma.
ton Of the Commissioners
Report by the Court
Trial to Proceed.

New York.--Harry X. Thaw was de-
clared sane on Friday by the unani-
nous report of the commission In lu-
macy appointed to inquire into his
present mental condition. The moment
the decision was handed down from
Justice Fitzgerald's desk, District At
torney Jerome was on his feet vigor-
ously protesting against It's confirma-
ton by the court. He declared he had
been excluded from the last session
of the commission and demanded to
be allowed to have access to the min
utes and stenographic notes Of what
transpired at the final mental and
physical examination of the defendant.
When Justice Fitzgerald declined to
turn the minutes over to the district
attorney, Mr.. Jerome declared he
would carry the case to the appellate
division of the supreme court, asking
that a writ of prohibition or manda-
mus be granted to prevent contin-
uance of the Thaw trial until the
higher court had ruled upon the legal
fly of the commissions course.
Unless Mr.. Jerome should secure a
writ of prohibition in the meantime,
Justice Fitzgerald Is expected to an
nounce on Monday morning that he
has confirmed the report of the com.
mission and order that the trial pro-
coed without further delay.

IT'S UP TO STOCKHOLDERS.
Opinion Regarding the Alton Deal
Submitted to Governor.

Springfield, Ill.-Attorney General
Stead, in an opinion submitted to
Governor Deneen expresses doubt as
to whether 1t Is the province of the
state of Illinois to proceed against e.
Fl. Hartman and his associates for
the alleged manipulation of the Chi
cago G. Alton railroad properties. If
the state should revoke the compa-
MES charters the loss would fall on
the stockholders, the Hartman peo-
pie already having disposed Of a
large portion of their holdings. The
attorney general concludes, therefore,
that the best plan would be for the
company itself to seek remedy for
the situation, or even for one or more
stockholders to act. At the same time
Mr.. Stead assures the governor that
should he become convinced on fur

President Smith Asks Mercy for Enc
mics Of the Church.

Joseph F. Smith, president Of the
Church of Jesus Christ Of Latter-day
Saints, delivered brief address at
the afternoon session of the confer
ence on Sunday. President Smiths
remarks were in the nature Of an in
vocation of the divine blessing upon
the people of all the world in general
and those of the Mormon faith in
particular. President Smith said in
substance. IL pray that the blessing
of God be upon the people of Zion,
upon the officers of the church, upon
the people of the world. pray that
the blessing of God be upon the presi.
dent of the United States, upon his
cabinet and upon our brethren and
our sisters wherever they may be.
pray that the mercy of God be upon
our enemies. 1t is my hope and our
hope that these enemies will see the
errors of their ways and be led tc
repentance. The church does not wish
them misfortune, nor the suffering OF
a penalty-they will bring upon them.
selves the ret,ibution which all must
endure who transgress the laws of
God and o, man and who deal I'M
fairly with and maliciously malign
their neighbors. This retribution will
be in extent as the degree of offense
has been. The great judge will meas
ure the punishment that is to be
meted out 20 the enemies of his peo-
pie"
President Smith referred to no one
specifically as bearing luminosity to-
ward the church, but included all
who criticise adversely its works, its
creeds and dogmas under one head
The speaker declared that the church
was following the will of God AL
mighty as proclaimed by Jesus Christ
his son. President Smith, said that
Zion was growing constantly and that
presently there would be demand for
more room. We will not be confined
by the restricting boundaries of a
valley between two mountains, nor
valleys between many mountains. Our
people and our doctrines and our
teachings are spreading and will, with
the help of the Lord. cover the whole
earth"

AWFUL HORRORS OF FAMINE.
Starving Chinese Eating Corpses OF
Those Who Have Succumbed,


Washington.-To correct an erron-
eous report that has found general
circulation with harmful results, the
Red Cross has issued the following
statement in regard to the Chinese
famine:
THE famine in China is unprece-
denied in severity and the period OF
greatest agony Is yet to come. Many
weeks must pass before there will be
relief from new crops, and millions to
day are kept alive only through the
contributions of the American people
who have sent their donations to the
National Red Cross at Washington
and to the Christian Herald of New
York. These two great organizations
are working together for the common
cause, and have furnished over two.
thirds of all relief supplies sent to
China. The large amount of money
and shipments of supplies already
made have only partly relieved the
situation, while hundreds of thou.
sands of lives have been saved, hun
dreds of thousands must yet die un-
less large additional sums and ship.
ments of food are Immediately pro-
vided
When people have been reduced
to such straits that they will dig up
and eat their own dead, the severity
and wide extent of the famine can be
realized"

TORNADO CAUSES
MARINE DISASTER
Speaker Cannon a Witness of
Rescue of Thirteen People
From Sinking Ship.
People Rescued Were Nearly Starved
to Death, as They Had Lived for
Week on a Few Water.
Soaked Biscuits.

New York.-Nearly every vessel
that has arrived from Southern ports
during the past week has brought
some story of marine disaster wrought
by the tornado off Hatteras during
the last ten days of March. The
Bluecher, arriving from West Indian
ports, was no exception. Standing in
disconsolate groups about her decks
were thirteen people, whom the liner
had saved from their laundering bark,
the GulfpOrt, as the vessel was on the
verge Of going down. The rescue was
witnessed by Speaker Joseph G. Can
non and others of the congressional
party on board the Bluecher.
Those taken by the lifeboat Of the
liner from the waterlogged wreck
were near starvation, as for nearly a
week they had had nothing to live on
except a few water-soaked biscuits.
Thursday morning the Bluecher al
tered her course to head for a wreck
that had been sighted. The passen-
gers hurriedly quilted the breakfast
table and gathered on deck to see the
crew Of the bark clustered about the
aft rails. Little difficulty attended
the work of rescue. The lifeboat, in
charge Of Chief Officer Boyer, was
lowered from the Bluecher and rowed
to the wreck. Into this went Captain
Larsen of the bark and twelve men,
bers of his crew and in a short time
had the refugees safely on board the
Bluecher.

acknowledged their error of judgment
and are glad that the senators voted
as they did. Apostle Smoot delivered
an interesting address; one OF the
features of his talk was the recital of
list of instructions which. he said,
his mother had given to him, and
which follows:
Pray to God for guidance and bless
Ing.
Take for your MOTTO Faith in
God, self-relance, honesty and indus

Inscribe in your homes this motto:
"Euck is fool: pluck is hero"
Be careful from what source you

Rise above the envious and willful
liars.
Place your ambitions above the
goal you intend to reach.
Remember that energy and deter
mination are the levers that move the
world.
Don't drink. chew. smoke, swear,
deceive, read trashy books or pay at

Be in earnest. Be generous. Be
civil.
Love truth and virtue. Love your
country and pray for its success.
Be strong. Shun not the struggle.
Stand up and speak out bravely in
Gods name.

FIRST presidency. spoke at some length.
The drift of his remarks was that It
were far better for the church to rep.
resent itself than to be misrepresent-
ed by others.

and Elders Rulon S. Wells. b. II.

Constantinople.-Th following dis
patch was received here Thursday
from the Rev. Royal NJ. Cole, head Of
the American mission at Bitlis:
AT 10 o'clock in the forenoon Of
March 20, there burst upon us unan-
nounced the worst earthquake wit
messed in forty years in these or the
Erezerum volcanic regions. Such was
its force that our city seemed to be
in the jaws of some monster, who
would shake us into shreds, as a mas
tiff does his game. Down came the
plastering. the furniture was over
turned, cracks were opened in strong
walls, roofs were shattered and rain
poured in. During the first day there
were fourteen shocks and they still
continue. There have been altogeth.
err twenty-eight shocks. or the 1000
houses here over 800 have fallen, and
half the remainder have been seri-
pusly damaged, about $50 to $500 be-
ing needed to repair each house. The
officials report that eight persons
were killed by falling walls, but they
are all unknown 1t Bitlis"

no faster than he gets knowledge.
Mormonism is not destructive of
the sanctity of the marriage relation.
Marriage was not designed as merely
an earthly union, but a union for eter.
nifty.
The generations of people born and
reared in Mormon homes will compare
favorably in Christian virtues with
country.
The charge that the church aims
at absolute domination in commercial
affairs is untrue; 1t is true that the
church claims the right to counsel
and advise members in temporal as
well as spiritual affairs. This has
been done without exercise of arbi.
trary power and has resulted from
wise counsels, persuasively given and
willingly followed.
II has been the policy of the church
to foster home industries.
Government by consent of the gov

ecclesiastical government exists itself
by the will of the people; elections

erty to vote as they choose.
The elective system operates by
popular acceptance rather than
through popular selection.
All church officials are answerable
to the church for their conduct. Such
a government cannot be classed as 4
tyranny nor considered a menace to
free institutions.
The tithing SYSTEM Is not an oppres-
sive tax, but system Of free will
offerings. 1t is a voluntary offering
for religious purposes and not q
scheme of extortion for the enrich.
ment of higher officials.
Neither in mental attitude or in
conduct has the church been disloyal
to the government.
The only conduct seemingly incon-
sistent with the profession of the
Mormon people as loyal citizens Is
inv olved in controversies concerning
plural marriages. The law against
polygamy passed in 1862 was consci-
entiously disregarded by Latter-day
Saints In their observance of prin-
cipal sanctioned by their religion, and
as being contrary to the constitution.
The supreme court decision did not
obtain until 1878, and no attempt was
made to enforce the law until six
years later. Surely. this federation
binds the people of the United States
to the exercise of patience and char
ity in dealing with this question. What
the Mormon people did in disregard
of the court decision was in the spirit
of maintaining religious rights, and
because the law developed conflict
between a duty to God and a duty to

President Roosevelt's agitation
against race suicide seems to
have inspired Mormon fathers and
mothers, for during 1906 there were
542 more births In the stakes of Zion
than during the previous year. This
fact was pointed out in an address by
Counselor Anthem II. Lund of the
first presidency at the conference. FL
der Lund gloried In the fact that the
Mormon people are increasing their
numbers and prayed that all of the
children would be brought up In the
faith and eventually become leaders
