THE DECREASED BAPTIsMs.

President Joseph +. Smith announced
TO the conference that during the year
1909 there were 1891 baptlsms out in
the various missions of the Mormon
church throughout all the world
That is poor showing, even though
Mr.. Smith evidently made it with some
pride. It is the boust of the church
that over two thousand missionaries
arc constantly kept out in the field.
Even Mt the rate shown in the report
of baptisms given by President Smith,
rs compared with the number of mis-.
sionaries constantly at work. there
would be but two aud one half converts
Ia each missionary per annum. But
there is an element which enters INTO
the computation that materially changes
the complexion Of the thing Perhaps
at least one.baIf Of those baptisms were
of children OF the age OF eight years.
who were unable to help themselves for
the reason that they were simply,
dragged into the water by order of their
fanatical parents There are Mormons
living in the missions abroad who are
old converts, unable TO come to Zion
Tor lack of funds, These have fami-
lies which increase as others grow in
numbers, Therefore, as we say, it is
presumably a conservative estimate that
out of the total number of baptisms
performed in the various missions one
half of them are of these children who
are forced into ii. So the showing be-
comes less creditable as it is properly
understood and in all likelihood the
average Of actual conversions made by
Mormon missionaries nowadays is
about one each per annum. In the old
days the elders boasted of their hun

creasing faster now than IN those
times; and why is it that the Mormon
conversions do not keep pace with other
natural Increases 1t is simply that
the world is becoming better advised
concerning the church and its evil
practices; education is rendering igno.
rance more rare; and AS natural con
sequence Mormonism is making fewer
converts.

GLUTToNs CRY OUT "MoREl''

II is notable that the men who most
loudly clang in the Mormon church
for the payment of tithes are the fell
lows who feed at the tithing crib.
Joseph f. is the chief Of these &C.
clesiastical beggars, and he is CON
tinually at it. Then the apostles come
in as capable assistant beggars and
and the ward bishops. The latter, we
understand, receive ten per cent of the
amounts collected by them, and in real
ity they are the hardest worked and
the most deserving of the lot This
little perquiste does not begin to pay
them for their trouble, but it is never
theless better than nothing at all
OF course, the presidents of stakes
receive salaries, as do all members of
the hierarchical twenty.six. We arc
told by the chiefs of the church that
none of these salaries are paid out
Of the tithe funds; and perhaps they
are not, directly speaking; but it was
the tithe fund that originally made
possible certain investments that now
bring in such profits as to support the
ecclesiastical leeches. 1t is observed,
also, that there is never any statement
made as TO the amounts expended IN
the maintenance of church officials 1t
is merely said that they do not make
inroads upon the tithes for that pur-
pose; but what amount is expended, or
who gets most or who least. from the
funds provided for pricstly mainte-
nance is always a mystery to the saints.
For all they know, the church may be
robbed on the right hand and on the
left, even through this one source The
hierarchs declare that no man in the
church is paid regular salary, but
that all are paid only fwhat they
need - Extremely interesting, it would
certainly be, to learn what it is that
the multimatrimonial Melchisedeks
need in the course of year. But
that wouldn't t do; because, for in
stance. the hardworking t,the payer
with one wife would likely create a
Tow if he were to know point blank
that Joseph F. drew from him and his
likes much more than FIVE times the
amount be and they spend on his and
their own families.

TWo-THIRps PoLYGAMoUS.

People are not overlooking another
of John Henry Smith to the Mormon
first presidency. That quorum as now
constituted is two-thirds polygamous.
President Anthon n, Lund has but
one wife--a splendid woman who does
not take kindly to the varied and
multiple conjugal state. Joseph F. and
John Henry, however, glory in the pos
session of several households each, and
they constitute a majority Of the
quorum of three.

WILLIAM NORTON
BURNED TO DEATH.

A telegram from the sheriff at
Setser, Mont, received yesterday by
Mrs. Thomas Norton of the First
ward, indicates that her son, Will
liam Norton, was burned to death in
the forest fire which destroyed a
great part of the country in that Sec
tion of Montana during the past sew
eral weeks. According to the mes
sage, several bodies were found, one
of which is supposed to be William
Norton, but they were 80 badly dis
figured that Identification is impos-
sible. From this fact, it is still pos
sible to hope that Norton is not one
OF the victims, but the sheriff's mes
sage indicates that there is little
doubt in his mind that he has re-
covered the body of the Deadwood
young, man.
1t is stated that Norton, with a
number Of other fire fighters, was
cut off by the flames and perished on
August 21st. Since 1t has been pos
sible to penetrate the burned dis
trict, searching parties have been
covering the country, looking for
the lost members of the fire fighting
force. but 1t was not until Tuesday
OF this week that they, came upon the
bodies. The young mans parents

SAW HICKS AT THE
GILT EDGE MAID.

A party of people from the vicinity
of the Gilt Edge Maid mine were in
the city yesterday with story about
Eugene Hicks, the man wanted for
the shooting of Tom Hanley of Lead,
having been seen in that locality
Thursday night. The authorities ap-
pear to place little credence in the
tale and thus far have not acted on
it as a clew.
According to the statement of the
Gilt Edge Maid people, Frank Borsch
the proprietor of the boarding house
at that place, had occasion to go to
the barn about 1920 o'clock Thurs
day night and as he was passing
through the door, was knocked down
by a man, who was making a sud-
den and excited exit from the build
ing. Borsch says he is certain the
man was Eugene Hicks, as he ans
wered exactly the descriptions sent
out Of the much sought-for man.
The fugitive is said to have been
provided with six shooter and a
rifle, but made no move to use either
of them on Borsch, during the brief
miX-up between the two. He appear
ed too anxious to get away, to stop
even long enough to pull trigger
and disappeared in the darkness.
After his departure, an inspection
of the barn revealed the fact that
the supposed Hicks had opened a
bail of hay, which he had been using
as a bed and that before entering
the barn, he had made a raid on the
boarding house cellar, from which
he carried away some canned goods,
a loaf of bread and knife.

there to decline TO become a candi-
date for the principal executive office

lines of powerful secret society of

quests which they have made, would

City, as the place of the next con-
vention and in this instance his bal
lots were cast for the winner. There

FOUR JURORS OPPOSED
TO CAPITAL PUNISHMENT

In the selection of a jury to try
Coyote Belly, an Indian char ged with
the murder Of Frank Horne loud, an
Indian police officer, in the United
States court yesterday afternoon. it
developed that four Of the members
Of the panel called to serve on the
case, entertained conscientious scrup
les against infiicting the death pen
atty and consequently were excused
for cause. Another remarkable fea-
ture of the selection of the jury was
that only four peremptory chaI-
lenges were used by both sides,
before a full jury was Sc
cured. The government, in the
trial of the case is being represent
ed by U. S. District Attorney E. E..
Wagner and Assistant Attorney Hol-
man and the defense is in the hands
Of Judge ]. H. Burns and Robe rt C.
Hayes.
The trial of the case was taken
up at the beginning of the after
uoon session yesterday and at the
time of adjournment six of the gov
ernment's Witnesses had been exam
ined. 1t is understood they have
about twenty witnesses still to pro-
duce. The ante mortem statement
OF Horncloud, taken in shortha nd by
the physician who attended hi m on
his death bed, was introduced. 1t ap
peared from the evidence thu IS far
introduced, that Horncloud ca me in
his official capacity of police officer
to arrest Coyote Belly for tn COM
mission Of misdemeanor and that
the latter shot and killed the officer.
