MORMON CHIEF
SAYS HATS FOR |
WIFE SUFFICE
President Smith Supports Sew
eral, Though 0beying U. S.
Monogamy Statute.

WASHINGTO June 30.-Polygany
no longer is practised by Mormons,
and tho man who is caught taking a
plural wife is promptly excommuni-
Gated. SO Joseph +. Smith, president
of the Mormon Church, is quoted in
an interview in the Post today.
President Smith said that he still
wives he married prior to the decision
of the Supreme Court of the United
States I polygamy was unlawful
nd before the church issued it's ia
nous manifesto %forbidding plural mar
riages. Since his elevation to the presi-
dency his efforts, he >. have been
directed toward Inducing his followers
to practise monogamy.
Asked II he thought it best for a
man to have but one wife. the husband
of five wives and the father of forty
three children. replied:
In these days of the high cost of
living there is no doubt that the aver
age ma is much better off with one
wife. If a man canno support one
wife decently it would obviously be
impossible for him to support more.
THE women of today all demand
that they be dressed and fed and housed
as well as possible, and the mar with
an average income would be in terri
BILE straits If he had several wives On
his hands, all crying for the latest
thing in hats and go MS"
President Smith. who came to Wash
ington to appear before the sugar
conmitt~e' of the House, said he ex-
pected to leave the city today.

County Organization Makes Up
Slate-TrOuble Ahead

No lack of confidence was shown by
the Progressive Republican League
last night, when candidates for county
Offices were chosen. What vas re-
garded as a reflection on former Sheriff
Frank II. Sommer was made by Her
man B. Walker, in nominating Wal
ter f. Simpson as candidate for sheriff,
when he said that one point in favor
of Mr.. Simpson was that he would not
use the office as a means of persecu-
ton.
Alexander f. Cashir, retaliated,
leaving the room when he was done
speaking. The lack of harmony made
many of the members predict trouble
in the coming campaign.
The following tentative slate was
agreed upon:
For sheriff, Walter F. Simpson. of
Newark.

Record Demand for STARS
Free ice Tickets Cuts Big
Hole in Fund.

The STAR hopes to give free outings
for mothers and babies as in the past,
but the outlook this year is not as
bright as 1t has been heretofore. Let
tiers are pouring into the Office with
requests for outing tickets and infor-
nation about when the first trip will
be held.
Because of a shortage OF funds, the
STAR annot announce today whenthe
first outing this year will be held. De-
mands for free Ice are eating a big
hole in the STAR fund, and If the moth
ers and babies are to have free outings
persons c%haritably inclined will have
to send in contributions.
The STAR has not lost confidence in
the friends of the poor who have not
contributed up to date, and the ma
received at the office each day Is closely
examined for donations In the hope
that in a few days the fund will be
large enough to warrant the STAR in
announcing definitely the date for the
first outing. Any sum, no matter how
| small, is welcomed.
These outings have been pronounced
by physicians to be of great benefit to
mothers and. sickly babies. The trips
are made by water and the guests are
given the opportunity of drawing in
great breaths of invigorating salt air.
Commends STARS Work.
The following Is the tenor of many
letters received at the STAR Office each
day:
ITO the Editor Of the Star;
THE names on enclosed slips are OF
families that are very poor. There are
several small children In each. If n
arrangement could be made to give
them an outing it would prove a bless
ing to- them.
II am in hearty sympathy with the
benevolent work you are doing and
trust that it will receive a continually
increasing recognition and support.
Very truly yours,
"REv. Il. o. WILSON,.
"Pastor of Emmanuel Baptist Church.

There is a record demand for free
ice tickets. The ice Is essential
for babies milk in the sum-
mer. The tickets are available at
all the hospitals for those whose cir
cumstances merit them. Tickets have
been given to the Society for Improv-
ing the Condition of Infants, which to-
day opened another consultation sta
ton at 222 Eighth avenue. This sta
ton will attend to the cases in the
Fifteenth ward.
Two *25 Donations.
The Hill section is attended to by
the society, which has established a
station at Beth Israel Hospital This
station has also been given a large
number of free ice tickets for distribu-
ton, as the physicians and nurses see
fit.
The doctors in charge of the station
at 222 Eighth avenue are Julius Levy
and F. r. Di Matteo.
Tickets have also been sent to the
Jewish Day Nursery, at 10S Montgom-
cry street. This section of the city is
very congested and a great deal of
good work among infants will probably
be done.
The latest contributions to the STAR
fund are SIS from Frederick Freling-
huysen and $25 from DR.. Charles F.
Kraemer.

YOU GET DIAMOND
IF YOU WIN 9TH
EVE. STAR PRIZE
OF a "Purest Ray Serene" Set
in Ring and Cost

Diamonds and romance are compan-
Ions in~separable.

the Evening STARS Proverb Contest

There is a little room near the front

Nothing startling about it at all.
A trim, business-like man enters,
opens the door of the tiny wall safe
and draws out a long, dark, red metal
box somewhat battered looking, 1t
contains what looks for all the world
like a vast number of neatly labeled pay
envelopes made of folded white paper.
The man puts the box on the table,
seats himself quietly at the table,
takes up a pair of forceps and selects
one of the packages from the box.
And what doe the box contain?
oh, nothing much, just a few thou
sand Of the diamonds forming the
NlSS STOCK.
Albert II. Peal, the manager of the
retail store, where the jewelry end of
the Wiss business is handled. grades
and sizes the diamonds himself at the
little table with the little scales.
One of those many folders contains
a small handful of karat diamonds,
scintillating and dazzling bits of purity.
They are splendid flawless stones, every
one of them.
Another paper has some of a little
less value.
And in one package is a single stone
alone worth nearly a thousand dollars.
That is why Wiss & Sons are doing
so large a business. They select and
grade their own diamonds and sell
them for what they are. e
The diamonds are bought by the lot.
with payment per karat. Mr.. Peal
and the diamond expert, J. T. Hunt. get
the stones in their original packages.
Then they are sorted and graded and
sized.
Most Of the stones are cut in this
country, although the small ones still
come from Holland. Ten per cent. is
the added duty on a cut stone. and the
saving Of that helps to cover the price
Of more expensive and more efficient
labor.

S125,OOO IN AUTOMOBILES
STOLEN BY CHICAGO BAND.
Theft of 40 Machines Laid to
Organized Band.

CHICAGO. June 30.-Forty-nine au-
tomobiles, valued at more than SIPS, 900,
have been stolen in Chicago since June
], according to the police records.
The automobile thieves, according to
the police, are of two general classes,
the "joy-riders" and those who steal
the machines to sell. The machines
taken by the first class are usually re-
covered after they have been ADAM
doned in some out-of-the-way section
of the city. Few of the machines
stolen by the professionals are eyer re-
covered by their owners. 1t Is the
opinion among automobile owners and
dealers that a completely organized
fence" is In existence, which is used
as a clearing house by the thieves.
