Mormons viii x-Communicate All
Polygamists. Says Leader

WASHINGTON, d. c., June 30
Polygamy will no longer be practiced
by the Mormons and the man who is
caught taking plural wife will be
promptly accommodated So says
Joseph Smith, the aged president of
the Mormon church, in an interview in
1.-THE Post today.
President Smith said he still sup
ports, but does not live with, the
wives he married prior to the decision
of the United States supreme court
that polygamy was unlawful and be-
fore the church issued it's famous man
ifesto forbidding all plural marriages.
Since his elevation to the presidency
bis efforts, he said have been direct
ed toward inducing his followers to
practice monogamy When asked If
he thought it best for man TO have
but one wife, the husband of five
wives, and the father of forty-three
children, replied:
an these days of the high cost of
living, no doubt the average man is
much better off with one wife. II a
man cannot support one wife decent
ly 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 man with an average income
would be in terrible straits if he had
several wives on his hands, all cry
ing for the latest thing in hats and
gowns"
President Smith, who came 10
Washington only to appear before the
Sugar committee" Of the house and
will leave the city this evening.

OUTLOOK NEVER BETTER.

l.. r. Rudolph, principal owner of
the Della-Newcastle and Lucky Four
Mining companies, came in from the
east last night and departed for tho
La Plata this morning. Mr.. Rudolph
just returned from trip to New York
City, Cleveland, Detroit, Chicago and
a number of other eastern points.
BUSINESS is good and there is no rea-
son to anticipate panic or hard
times. There is plenty of money in
circulation and lots Of it for use in
mining operations.
While he has been in the east the
past three months, Mr.. Rudolph said
he had heard splendid reports of the
La Platas during his absence and look
ed for a good summer season. For
several different reasons mining men
operating in the La Plata district feel
that the future was never brighter.
A. II. Amidon accompanied Mr.. Ru-
dolph from Pueblo and left with him
for the hills this morning.

Cardinal Gibbons Celebrates Fiftieth
Anniversary of Priesthood

BALTIMORE, Md, June 3G.-Car-
dinal Gibbons today rounded out half
n century as a priest of the Roman
Catholic church and quarter of a
century as a member Of the Sacred
College, combined distinction which
no American ever before attained. It
was on June 80, 1861, that the prelate
was ordained to the piesthood, and
it was June 30, 1886, that he was in
vested with the princely insignia by
the Pope.
The double jubilee was permitted to
pass today without any special obser-
vance beyond the special masses cele-
brated throughout the diocese and the
receipt by his Eminence of large
number Of congratuatory letters and
kilograms from friends and admirers
throughout America. Added to the
American greetings We're feicitous
messages from the Pope and from
personal friends at the Vatican.
Cardinal Gibbons jubilee was cele-
brated some weeks ago by great
nonsectarian gathering in this city
which was attended by President Taft,
'eX-President Roosevelt, Chief Justice
White and many other notables.
About the middle of October, when the
season is more suitable then at pres
ent, the ecclesiastical celebration will
take place. AT that time it is expect
ed that the most noted preates of the
church in America will assemble in
Baltimore to do honor TO the Cardi-
nal.
Next month Cardinal Gibbons will
be n years old He enjoys good
health, although he is somewhat fee
bic, and he continues TO perform the
active duties Of his office

sAssING THE HELLO GIRL.

Missouri has law which went into
effect yesterday making it peniten-
tiary offense to raise rumpus with
a telephone girl. The Times has not
seen copy of the law, but judging
from the Kansas City Journals report
Of it, it is pretty rough on the men.
No matter what the telephone girl
does she mustn't be jawed or cussed,
and IL won't do at all TO jerk the
telephone off the wall and jump on it.
The girl may keep the business man
waiting till she finishes conversation
with her best feller over the line or
with the girl next her who is telling
her how a swell feller" smiled at her
On the street as she come" in, or
while she goes to get n "chaw" of gum
and then when the man shows some
impatience at being kept waiting she
may ring back vieiously in his ear, but
he must smile and take his medicine
OF he will be in danger Of the peniten-
tiary. There appears to be nothing in
the law to prohibit the girl from sass-
ing the man, or from shutting him off
in the midst of an important conyer-
sation, or from beaking in with: "Hel-
lol Hellol Still talking" Talk anout
