ORGAN OF CROOKS
IS Taxing AGAIN
Tribune Springs One Of Its Usual
Stunts on Front Page
Today.
POLYGAMY MARES NEST NOW
Springs Great Sensation on An Alleged
Letter-What Bishop Cook
Says About IL,

The Tribune this morning makes
itself ridiculous with the usual anti
Mormon mares nest which occupies
the place of honor in the first column
of the front page under the usual
scare head. all of which is manufac-
tured out of whole cloth and by this
time, undoubtedly, has been telegraph
ed all over the country.
Here IS the heading; First Presi-
dency Issues an Ultimatum All
Saints who Fail to Pay Their Tithes
Shall Lose Their Standing. Letters
Read by Bishops on Sunday, Dec. 30.
Announcement Also Made That Soon
There win Be &. Revival of Polygamy.'
Upon investigation this morning 1t
was demonstrated, 1t goes without say
ing, that every section of the head is
deliberate lie.
Persons in position TO know state
that no such letter was sent out. Con-
sequently no such letter was read by
bishops on that Sunday, or any other
Sunday.
An effort was made to reach Presi-
dent Joseph ii. Grant of Davis stake
this morning. but up to n late hour
he could not be located. Bishop David
Cook, ST., of Syracuse ward, where
this ''bombshell Is supposed to have
une, was reached on the telephone by
the News this afternoon.
As Bishop Cook does not read the
organ of the crooks the yellow story
had to be read to him over the wire.
Here is what Bishop Cook said at the
conclusion:
There was a letter read at the meet
ing In my ward on Sunday, Polygamy
was not mentioned in II. nor was It
referred to, directly or Indirectly. neith-
er did the letter say that all saints, or
any saints, who fail TO pay their tith-
ing shall lose their standing in the
Church. The letter was the same letter
which was read at the quarterly con-
ference at Kaysville on Dec. 81 and y.
1t was read so that those saints who
did not attend the conference could
have the privilege of hearing 1t. 1t was
letter to the presidency of the stake
and the tenor of 1t was that those who
denied the principles OF the gospel for
feited their rights as Latter-day
Saints"

TO WIDEN FIELD
FOR ATHLETICS
Prof. Dudley A. Sargent Of Har-

gestion.
TOO MANY PHYSICAL WRECKS
He Would Debar Students from High
Honors Until They Have
Sound Bodies.

Chicago. Jan. 1O.-Prof. Dudley A.
Sargent of Harvard, makes a unique
plea for the uplifting of college ath-
letics and physical culture in an ar
ticle, Compulsory physical education"
published in the January number OF
the School Review issued from the Uni
vorsity OF Chicago press yesterday. He
advises that mo student should be
given honors in his studies unless he
has attained a certain grade in his
gymnastics or athletics" He draws
this conclusion after criticizing the po-
sition of college faculties which forbid
students to take honors in athletics
unless they have creditable standing
in their studies.
This requirement" writes Prof. Sar-
gent would insure the conscientious
student against sacrificing his health
in view of raising his scholarship, which
at the present time he Is likely TO do
on account OF the keen competition to
which he Is subjected"
