RICH MORMON TO BE
TRIED FOR POLYGAMY

Salt Lake City, Utah.-Matthias F.
Cowley is to be cited for trial We'd
nesday before the council of the
twelve apostles of the Mormon
church. The charges against him
are the same as those on which John
W. Taylor was tried q month ago.
Official announcement was made
last Wednesday, and there is author
ity for the expectation hat Cowley
will be asst off by the church as Tay-
lor was.
Until 1906 Cowley and Taylor were
apostles, and they are today among
the best known Mormons in Utah.
Both are past middle g and veal
thy. Taylor is rated a millinaire. They
were allowed to resign as apostles
because of their opposition to the
Woodruff manifesto against polygamy.
Taylor was charged with having ia
ken a second plural wife as long after
the manifesto as 1893 and with per-
forming plural marriages for others
in Mexico.
These apostles took the stand thai
the Woodruff manifesto could only be
offered to the members of the church
its Interpretation being a matter fol
the members themselves. Taylor ar.
gued that while it might apply to the
United States, itdld not in other coun.
tries-Mexico, for example, where ht
married several couples.
Cowley agreed with him to an ex
tent that finally brought a protes
from United States Senator Reet
Smoot, and on this protest Taylor ant
Cowley resigned at the annual con
ference of 1909.
1t is said the church will brini
charges against James NJ. Tanner
another conspicuous Mormon. H,
was president of the agricultural col
lege of Utah when Brigham H. Rob
erts was making his light for a sea
in congress.
In the heat of one debate Robert
demanded to know why he was beins
attacked as a polygamist when 9Th,
f~ederally appointed president of tn
agricultural college of Utah was III
disturbed in his position, although h,
was as much a polygamist as Rob
erts. Tanners removal followed.
Categorical charges have been mad,
that since 1890, the year of the Wood
ruff manifesto, no less than 225 9th
or men than these three have con
tracted plural marriages. There i
ground, apparently, for the expecta
ton that the church authorities will
proceed in order against all thes.

Corvallis, ore.-Urging the need Of
%itinerant schools of agriculture to
take to the farmers OF the remote
districts OF the state the best meth
DDS discovered by the college experts,
President w. j. Kerr Of the Oregon
agricultural college voiced again his
belief that the college was not estab-
lished for the benefit Of the thousand
or two students on the campus, but
for every man. woman and child in
Oregon. His address was the prin-
cipal one in last nights open meet
ing of the State Changers conven-
ton,
Even IL the college enrolment.
which this year is 1913, should grow
to three or four thousand. 1t would
be but a small per cent Of the pop
ulation of the state, all OF whom. it
is my belief, should be served by the
college," said President Kerr. I'VE
have this year in the college classes
representatives Of every county of the
state; 1889 students from oregon
cities and rural districts; l65 more
from 81 other states; and-19 repre-
sentatives of eight foreign countries.
All this speaks well for the educa-
tional advantages offered at the coll
lege, but of court it does not solve
the problems of the thousands
throughout the state who IA not
come to Corvallis.
