DEBATE WAS HOT
Hopkins and Dubois Clash Over the
Discussion The Resolution Un-

Vote of AZ to %.

Washington, Feb. 20-In anticipa-

vote upon the resolution declaring
Reed Smoot not entitled to his seat
as U. S. Senator from Utah, fixed for
four o'clock today, the galleries were
filed. Dubois took the floor in opposi-
tion to Smoot. He charged that the
senators supporting the Utah senator
had taken advantage of all the tao
tics of special pleading, and declared
that Hopkins had put the Mormon
church above all other Christian org
anizations. 1.-The Senator is making

MRS. THAW UNDER
CROSS EXAMINATION.

New York, Feb. 20.-A ruling was
made late in yesterdays session of
the Thaw trial that District Attorney
Jerome may examine Evelyn Thaw as
to the truth of her statements. 1t had
been held all along that under the
law it is immaterial whether the story
of Evelyn Thaw is true or not. the
point being that Thaw believed it to
be true. Justice Fitzgerald. however
held that Jerome could investigate
the truth of her story in order to at
tack the credibility of the witness.
The cross examination of Mrs.
Thaw continued when the hearing
was resumed this morning. Jerome
jumped from one part of her story
to another in his examination. BY his
questions he indicated that he did not
intend to spare the feelings of the
young woman in anyway. He interro-
gated her sharply as to the details
of her dress when she posed for art
lists in Philadelphia and New York.
He persisted in certain questions
even after Delmas objected and insist
ed on definite answers, though Mrs.
Thaw usually said she could not re-
member. She fenced with the district
attorney quite skillfully at times,
keeping her wits about her Jerome
spent an hour or more upon the sub
ject of Stanford Whites letters. Mrs.
Thaw declared that fourteen of the
letters which Thaw turned over to
Hartridge were the only ones she
positively knew to be in existence.
When Jerome asked occasionally a
very pointed question with the pur-
pose evidently of tripping her up,
Mrs. Thaw would reply with an en-
phatic nod of her head, ST didn't say
that
Finally Jerome dropped the subject
of letters and to Mrs. Thaw's story
of the letters and turned to Mrs
Thaw's story to her husband
0Mrs Thaw was also on the wit
ness stand yesterday, but people who
read Bocaccio under the pretense of
studying literature will have to buy

tails 1t was too tough for the Rec

to abide by the verdict of the arbitra-
tdon board, l will serve; but if the
board of arbitration is to be a farce,

and reform organizations, who have
waged fierce fight against Smoot ev-
er since his election In most of these
petitions Senator Smoot is charged
with polygamy, regardless of the fact
that he has been expressly exonerated
from this charge by the senate COM
mittee on privileges and elections. n
the report of this committee, of which
Senator Burrows of Michigan is chair
man, it was stated:
"As regards the charge that MIR.
Smoot has a plural wife, the fact, If
proved, is conceded by Mr.. Smoot and
counsel to be sufficient to disqualify
him from holding a seat in the Unit
ed States Senate. This accusation
seems to have been made i1adverte2t-
ly and without any sufficient evidence
in support of the same. This charge
counsel for the protestants at the out
set of the investigation very frankly
admitted that they had no proof to
offer in support of their allegation
The only valid charge made against
the Utah Senator was that he was a
member of the body of twelve apostles
of the Mormon church. It was alleg-
ed that in this capacity he had uecid-
the laws Of the state and the nation.
AS a specific instance, it was pointed
out that he voted to elect Joseph F.
Smith to the presidency of the church,
knowing that Smith was polygamist
Personally Senator Smoot is highly
popular in Washington and among
his colleagues of the Senate Even his
enemies are not animated by any per-
sonal animosity, but have fought him
solely Because of his connection with
the Mormon church. Senator Dubois
of Idaho has been his most vigorous
but confesses to liking for
the man. Dubois will leave the senate
next month and it is said will imme
diately take the platform as al anti
Mormon lecturer

SENATE WILL SEAT sMooT.

Washington, Feb. 20-The senate
is today giving final consideration to
the Smoot case, which has occupied
it's attention intermittently ever since
the senator from Utah entered the por
tails of the Milliolaires club. That
he will be declared entitled to his
seat in that respectable body by the
vote to be taken late this afternoon,
is reasonably certain. Many Demo
Gratis will vote against Smoot, as will
a few Republicans, but the Utah Scion
will probably be vindicated with ma
ny votes to spare. despite the fierce
opposition of various reform organiza-
tions.
Ever since the proposed vote was
announced all senators have been re-
ceiving scores of petitions from the
members of Women.s Christian Tenn
perance union and other religious
