BISHOP SPALDING
TALKS OF MORMONS
Tells New Workers He Believes Polyg-
amy VIII Die Out Within the Next
Thirty Years.
Special TO The Tribune.

Special to The Tribune
NEW YORK, June 16.-Polygamy as
part of the faith Of the Mormon church
will end within thirty years. Such
is the view expressed today by
Bishop Spalding. Episcopalian church
leader of Utah The bishop has written
much on the subject OF Mormons. and
both by Mormons and others his con-
clusions have carried weight.
'Polygamy is going out of fashion, "
be said. "In theory it is a part of the
Mormon doctrine, but today it is prac-
ticed only by the older men. The
younger men do not believe in it as a
practical thing, and they don't practice
it. Within thirty years, depending
largely upon the death rate, 7 believe
it will disappear altogether. -
Bishop spalding preached yesterday
in old Trinity church, and last night
in Grace church. In neither sermon did
he refer to his work in Utah nor to the
Mormons. In an interview today he
said; "The people of Utah are inter
ested in the Underwood bill now in the
house because of two great Industries
in which they have large investments,
wool and beet sugar.

valuation and apportionment were not
sufficient TO warrant a reversal of the
finding of the lower court that the rates
were confscatory The rates as to the
Quincy, Omaha & Kansas City and the
St Joseph & Grand Island were annulled
because OF a stipulation between the

Navigation company and the Southern
Pacific company. That by the Oregon
Railroad & Navigation company was
brought to restrain the enforcement OF
an order OF the railroad commission OF
Oregon made April %, 1908. prescribing

company was Joined as complainanD the
suit was brought to restrain the en-

unconstitutional the Omaha (Neb.) ordi-
nance Of 1908. directing the city cleo
trician TO disconnect wires Of the Oma ha
Electric Light & Power company. The
court, through Justice Van Devanter
held the original franchise of the COM
pany had not expired by grant in per-
petuity and was not limited to twenty
years.
The court also held that the city had
treated the franchise as including right

the city from denying the company had

Preserved Constitution.
A remarkable story showing En-
peror William s attitude toward a con-
stitutional monarchy was related today
at the celebration of the twenty fifth
anniversary of his reign by the faculty
and students of Berlin university. Prof
Otto HiDtze, professor Of constitutional
and administrative history, declared
that the emperor himself had told him
years ago how he had first disregarded
and then destroyed the standing appeal
made by Frederick William " Of Prus-
sia to his successors to abolish the
Prussian constitution. The emperor said
the first documents he found in his
desk after his succession was an enve-
lope containing the political testament
Of Frederick William ", which was to
be delivered to each of his successors
on his accession. 1t urged in the strong
est terms the revocation Of the Prus-
sian constitution before the taking of
the coronation oath by the new mon
arch.
Frederick William ", who had grant
ed the constitution to Prussia during
the stormy days of the middle Of the
nineteenth century. always regretted his
act, but did not find either the oppor-
tunity or the courage to revoke it. EN-
peror William. like his father and
grandfather, had no inclination TO fol-
low the advice Of Frederick William
", but he went further and DESTROYED
the document for fear of the influence
il might have on some young and in
experienced successor. The emperor
said;
81 felt as il l had a powder cask
in the house and it worried me so that
! finally burned the testament -

Subcommittee Backed Up.

The senate put meat and hides on the
free list. leaving grains dutiable at 10
per cent ad valorem. The finance sub
committee, soon after receiving the
schedule. agreed to equalize the rates
and eventually voted 10 make the raw
materials and the finished products all
dutiable. No sooner had this conclusion
been reached than Senator Simmons and
other Democratic senators OF the finance
committee declared that the problem
would not be settled rightly II left that
way. They were of the opinion that
all products which enter Into the cost
of living should go on the free list and
President Wilson agreed with them.
Sena tor Simmons communicated this
information to the subcommittee and ii
reconsidered Its action placing all these
products on the free list. Later II was
announced that the committee would
adopt countervailing duty clause, which
would mako the products free only from
countries which did make them dutiable
from this country. This would operate
against the free entry OF livestock from
such countries as Canada and Argentina.
