HOW DEMOCRATS TURNED
DOWN MORMON FIGHT

DENVER. July 1.-THE anti
polygamy plank was that adopted
four years ago at st. Louis. Briefly.
it demands the determination. of
polygamy and the absolute 4separa-
ton of church and state.
Former Senator Pettigrew, South
Dakota member of the committee
on resolutions and an influential
member of the subcommittee that
framed the platform. presented the
plank.
Judge King succeeded in having
consideration deferred. and 1t was
not again brought up until late last
night. when Pettigrew offered it..
Judge King moved to lay 1t on the
table. This was met by the threat
by Mr.. Dubois that IL the motion pre-
vailed. the contest would be carried
TO the convention. Then King with
drew his motion. Senator Dubois
was given the floor. and he made a
vigorous argument for the insertion
of the plank. His speech, which was
lengthy, included an attack on Jo-
seph F. Smith and other leaders of
the Mormon church He Is quoted as

TO BALE GREASEWOOD.
Local Company Proposed for Purpose
of Furnishing East With Kind
Iings From Nevada Deserts.

Whether it be joke or a serious
fact, there was much talk around the
court house yesterday about starting
a kindling company to collect, bale
and ship to eastern points grease
wood brush growing along the Ne
vada Northern right of way for use
in starting fires.
The officers of the company as
they were named yesterday. are
William Mcknight president; K. c..
Davis. manager; G. f. Boreman, Sec
retary and treasurer; Anthony Ju-
rich, director and legal advisor. 1t
was pointed out that the brush covers
millions of acres in Nevada and is
known as the most inflammable green
plant growing In the state, the resin
Gus oil with which its fibres are filled
making quick blaze. There is
nothing in plant life which produces
greater amount of heat.
The only objection to the use of
the plant as fuel is the fume which is
emitted This is said to be one of
the most excellent remedies for ca
tarrhal affections known. While at
present the company is only In a for
native state. it Is probable that some
step toward organization will be
made and the capital stock placed on
the market.

He gave examples of what he call

years ago. Concluding, he pledged
the state of Idaho to Bryan if only
the plank were adopted.
Judge King followed at some
length, taking up Mr.. Dubois charges

mittee. Without yielding the floor
he moved to lay the resolution on the
table. This failed by tie vote. 90
