OF REFORM ASSOCIATION.
But Missionaries Of Smith Hierarchy
Assert Their Church is Now With
i'm the Law.

pittsburgh, Dec. 1.-The fifth an
nuai convention Of the National Re-
iorm association convened here to-
day and the first session in which
Mormonism" was the subject occa-
stoned a lively debate. Prof. o. f.
SAWS Of New Richmond, Wis. chair
man Of the world commission on Nor.
monism, introduced resolution.
which was adopted. calling upon con-
gress to prohibit polygamy in all the
States of America, territories and de-
Tendencies. r. Murray Stewart of
Ambridge, Pa, a missionary Of the
church Of Christ Of the Latter Day
Saints, Immediately objected.
Such an amendment is not neces-
sary to the laws Of our country" he
said. For polygamy is not and has
not been practical in Utah or any
other State since 1890"
DR.. William PaGden Of Salt Lake
City answered Mr.. Stewards objec-
tons.
L have lived for Is years among
the Mormons and I know that they
fear the adoption Of that amendment
to the United States constitution more
than any other amendment ever sug-
gested. AS for the assertion of Mr.
Stewart, that polgymay has not been
practiced since 1S90-the year of the
Woodruff manifesto-I have here a
picture showing Joseph Smith and
his wives and their children taken in
the year 1912. Is that not enough
proof that polygmay has been prac-
ticed since the issuance Of that man.

Leonard Burdick, also a missionary
of the Church Of Christ of the Lat
ter Day Saints, said the church was
ready at any time to disprove the
charges of polygamous actions OF the
Mormons.

Washington, Dec. 3.-Two thous-

crowded into the great caucus room
OF the house office building today,
and masSed in the corridors, where
Il hearing was given by the house
rules committee for and against hav-
ing a house committee on woman suf-
frage. Two hours were allotted each
side. The women were warned to
refrain from any applause or dem
onstration.
During the discussion Miss Jane
Adams mentioned that at a former
conference in which she took part
she had stated to Congressmen Hard
wick of Georgia that congress had the
power to extend the franchise to wo-
men under the fifteenth amendment.
Il now realize that was not q happy

CHILD LABOR LAW HOLDS.
supreme Court Sustains Kentucky
Grain Rates-Must Pay Corporation
Tax

Washington. Dec. 2.-The Supreme
Court OF the United States handed
down n number Of decisions today
some Of them being Of national i'm
porrance.
The Illinois Child Labor law was
sustained as constitutional in the case
of Arthur Beauchamp, 15 years DID,
who recovered q verdict Of $4,000
from the Sturges G. Burn Manufactur-
ing Company for having his hand
lacerated in a press. Justice Hughes
announced the decision.
The company also defended on the
ground that the boy represented that
he was more than 16 and being more
than IA, should be held responsible
for his statement.
The court held the company en-
pioyed him at it's peril.
Rates on grain and other commo-
dities over the Louisville and Nash
Vile Railroad were approved in the
so-called Kencucky State rate case.
The decision Of the Federal Court OF
that State affirmed.
The McChord law enabling the
Kentucky State Railroad Commission
to fix reasonable rates on intra- State
business was held valid.
The Louisville and Nashville con-
tended that the rates affected largely
grain shipped from Ohio, Indiana and
Illinois to Kentucky cities, and has
the effect of lowering inter State rates
Mining corporations must pay the
corporation tax imposed by the
Payne-Aldrich Tariff act, according
to another decision.
Eight or ten million dollars has
been paid to the government by such
corporations under protest, and 500
suits and claims were started to re-
cover the money.
porations were not entitled to deduct
the value of ore before it was mined
as depreciation"
Chief Justice White and Justices
McKenna and Holmes dissented on
the latter point.
The uniform system of accounting
prescribed by the Interstate Com
merce Commission for railroads was
upheld.
The Lackawanna Railroad must pay
$4,000 fine for transporting it's own
| hay to feed mules in its mines. That,
in the opinion OF the Supreme Court,
was a violation of the commodities
clause Of the Hepburn law, and a
conviction in lower court was main
tanned.
