SON SUESFORA A
PART Of ESTATE
MORMON WOMAN DENIES THAT
SHE CLEARED ECClES OF
POLYGAMY IN SMOOT CASE
ECCLES ESCAPED ON TECHNlCALIn

OGDEN, Utah, June 22.-Denial that
she had cleared David Eccles of po-
lygamy when she testified in the SEN
ator Reed Smoot's investigation before
the United States congress, was made
today by Mrs. Margaret Geddes OF Salt
Lake, when she appeared as the first
witness in the suit of her son, vari-
ously known as Albert Geddes and Al
bert Geddes Eccles, for part OF the
David Eccles estate.
When she was asked to relate the
evidence that she gave in Washington
regarding her relations with David
Eccles, she said that she was first
asked to name her children. That this
was followed by an inquiry as to
their parentage, she stating that all
but one we're the children of w. S.
Geddes. Mrs Geddes testified that she
declined to answer the question as to
who was the father of the youngest
child.
"Then they asked me if Mr.. Eckol
was the father and said No." she
testified today.
Mrs. Geddes said that when she re-
turned to Salt Lake, Eccles cOngratu-
lated her on her testimony and for
clearing him and that she answered
him and said she did not clear him, but
testified that Mr.. "Eckol" was not the
father.
Albert Geddes, or Eccles, is asking
that the court declare him an heir of
the Eccles estate and entitled to one
thirty-third part of the property, valued
at over $6,00O,00O. This claim is based
on the allegation that David Eccles
and Mrs. Geddes were married in 1898
in Ogden by the late Apostle Mariner
w. Merrill, Mrs Geddes claiming on
the witness stand today that this mar
riage ceremony was performed and
that she was acknowledged by Eccles
as his third wife, and Albert Geddes,
or Eccles, as his son. Mrs. Minnie
Stoddard Eccles of Logan, the second
wife, was in court today, but Mrs.
Bertha Eccles is now in New York
According to the evidence given by
Mis-. Geddes, she was married to David
Eccies outside the church." but by
one Of the II apostles, who had pre-.
viously performed the ceremonies by
which Eccles married his second wife
and also Ey which Mrs. Geddes be-
came the second wife of w. S. Geddes
The marriage, she said, was kept Sc
cret because of tn. manifesto. Mar
riages outside the church" are not
recorded by the church.
When the wedding is under the rites
of the Mormon temple, the wife is
sealed to the husband "for life and
eternity" Mrs Geddes testified that
she was sealed to Geddes for eternity,
but to Eccles only for life.

The average for each fire was ten and one-half acres. The big fire in the COconino forest strrJed early in the season during windy weather and gained strong headway before the fire-fighting force could get 10 it.
 ThirtyNwo fires were discovered on the Coronado reserve. surround ing Tucson. during the year Eff teen Of these were cxtinguishcd be- fore they could burn over one-fourth of an acre, eleven were put out be- fore burning over ten acres tnd siy fires averaged 13O acres each.
 The origin of nineteen fires in the whole district is attributed to light ming striking dead trees Six fires in the Huachucas are believed to have been incendary, as they were close together and were started at abou. the same time The greater part of the forest fires are believed to have been caused by campers and branding fires.
 The forest service is better pre- pared to fight fire this year in this part of the country as the telephone system has been extended and men can be hurried more promptly to the danger point than before.
