it was supposed that they had been
invited to participate.
| The Mormon missionaries distributed
church literature and lcctured the vlsl-

church monotony, were Rabbi and Mrs.
| Charles j. Freund and DR.. j. G, Han
chett. Among the invited guests who
were conspicuous by their absence werc

Boiled With Indignation.
Meanwhile, the International Coun-
ell of Women fairly boiled with right
eous Indignation ut the iusinuating pro"
polygamv talk of the self-appointcd
hosts The following famous women
openly expressed their disgust at the
manner in which the Mormon men and
women took occasion to deliver long
defenses of polygamy: Miss Creigh-
