Joseph Fielding Smith was prest-
dent Of the Mormon church, the
Church Of Jesus Christ Of Latter-Day
Saints, the seat ot which cult is in
Utah, though ita members are scat
tered in COLONIES throughout the
world TO- the numtbs Of some. 40o,-
0oe.1 The church Is ruled BY council.
but Smith was its nominal head, and;
laid claim to the authority Of the
original Mornon Prophet, !: Joseph
Smith, his uncle. This claim was
disputed BY several apostate organi-
zations; /. includipe the Missouri
branch at the head q which was Jo-
seph Smith, son q the prophet. who
died in 1914. \
With the deathsof both Smiths, has
passed probably the last OF the Nor
mon leaders whose birth occurred
prior tosthe settlement pf the cult in
Utah. Joseph Fielding Smith was so
years old. His father. Hyrum Smith.
and his uncle, the "a ktnal Prophet
Smith, were shot to kkh bysa mob
which stormed the Jail ct Carthage,
ILL.,, where the two were confined
shortly after they began to preach
plurality of wives. When his moth
|er. with the rest of the Mormons,
was driven from Nauvoo, ILL.,, the
eight-year-old Joseph Fielding Smith
drove an OK team across the plains
into Utah and became herd boy,
and then missionary, when, in 1852
Brigham Young established the head
quarters of the Mormon sect, at Salt
Lake City, Utah. He was sent on a
mission to Hawaii when only, / S. years,
|old. s,f,n
He entered the army which Young
despatched to intercept the United
States troops which were to invade
Utah; and performed active service
as scout, harrassing the federal ex-
|pedition until the presidents proc
lamation ended the Mormon war"
Joseph Fielding Smith was an
avowed polygamist. According to
his own testimony in the United
States senate inquiry into the case
OF Reed smoot, United States senator
from Utah, Smith had five wives. It
ts said his children numbered 43.
President Smith, like : number Of
his associates, was atsvarious times
subjected to prosecution and ON one
occasion paid q fine OF $500.
!. He directed vast business enter
prises in connection With his admin
istration Of Church afafirs. In the
inquiry into the sugar trust he told
how the church had half million
dollars invested in sugar.
Smiths private fortune was also
reputed to be large.
Aside from his religious activities
Smith was several times q member Of
the Utah state legislature and Of the
city council Of Salt Lake City. He
was q widely Travelled man, having
made lrl many trips to Europe. In 1874
he was sent to England as a mis-
sfonary and was so active with the
Mormon propaganda that his work
attracted wide attention. .5y;,5 5.sS

Say British Engineers
Aid Interned Enemies
The Ne,u York Tribune
Foreign Pres Bureau


The Amalgamated Society of En-
gineers, familiarly known as the A. S.
E., which has got in bad odor with the
British public on account of it's stand
on the man-power question, is now
being called upon to explain it's posi-
tion toward German members.
According to "The Globe" of Lon
don, it appears that the Erith district
secretary and member OF the execu
tive committee have been visiting a
number of Germans interned in the
Hackney Workhouse, of whom about a
dozen were wearing the A. S. E. badge.
"They are" writes the Firth secretary
"as nice body of men as you could
wish to meet" Two of this mice
body" were members of the A. S. e.
Reform Committee" before the war,
and on this occasion they received
$1675 from their visitors, presumably
money provided out of funds contrib
uted by British workmen.
The A. S. E. circular containing the
above intelligence states that this sum
of $16.75 was collected at meeting
prior to the May strike" That
strike nearly resulted in the stoppage
of the flow of munitions to British
fighting men in France, and would have
the majority of engineering workers in
England are happily imbued with pa
triotism. In returning thanks for the
s16.75, one OF the interned Germans
had the impudence to express the hope
that he and his fellows would "soon
be able to join in the fight that mat
ters."

Aero Mail Service
Opposed in Senate
Plan to Purchase Pneumatic
Postal Tubes Is
Questioned

WASHINGTON, May S.-Considera-
tion of the annual postoffice appro-
priation bill, carrying total of s37l.
100000, was begun by the Senate to-
day, with opposition developing
against an appropriation of 100000
for the continuance of experiments in
s.rplane mail service, government ac-
quisition of pneumatic postal tubes in
large cities, and flat wage increase
of Is per cent for virtually all postal
employees.
The disputed provisions were passed
over temporarily and the Postoffice
Department was asked for a report on
expenditures from previous appropria-
tions for the airplane mail service.
Senator Wadsworth, of New York.
Republican, said he had seen airplanes
for the mail service under construc-
tion by the Curtiss Company, and
Senator Bankhead, of Alabama, in
charge of the bill, said he presumed
part of previous appropriations un-
expended was to pay for the machines.
Senator Gallinger, of New Hamp-
shire, Republican, declared that the
"a cents an ounce charge provided in
a Senate bill for mail delivered by
planes would render the service use
less.
Senator Weeks contended it would

Exemption Granted Arms
Workers May Be Revoked
at Bridgeport

BRIDGEPORT, Conn.,, May s.-Local
draft boards tonight sent out scouts
to verify names of strikers at the
Remington Arms plant who had been
exempted from the draft for indus
trial reasons. 1t is understood that a
number have been summoned before
their boards and arrangements are
being perfected to see that no time is
lost in sending them in a military
camp.
There is no local sympathy for the
strikers. Public opinion is hostile 1t
is the general view that the men have
been treated we'll. City authorities
plan to enforce new ordnance COM
pelling all ableSodied males to do
forty-six hours per week of useful
labor. 1t is understood that if any of
the strikers set themselves up as
pickets they will be taken in by the
police and offered the alternative of
resuming work CT leaving the city.
Strike leaders say 1000 skilled men
are out and many more will follow.
Conservative sources say not over 600
men, including many small shops, have
refused to work. Virtually all Of the
men who have quit work were engaged

cure $2,O00,O0O for relief work at the

that several large contributions had
brought the total at the end of the

work of the Salvationists in the
trenches and behind them.
A check for 81 500 was received from
the Barber Steamship Company, with
a statement that several years ago a
captain of one of the company's ships
took to drink and was discharged. He
was picked up by the Salvation Army
and his manliness restored. He OBJ
tanned position of still greater trust
with the same company and is now
receiving twice the salary he formerly
earned.
With four days remaining, the bor-
ough committees must obtain about

Auto Industry
Pledged to Meet
All War Needs
Manufacturers Will Help
Speed Up Government
Programme

WASHINGTON, May 8t-Representa-
tives of the National Automobile Cham
Der of Commerce to-day completed q
three-day conference with officials of
the War Trade Board, during which
the war demands of the government
upon the automobile industry were out
lined and the industry was pledged to
comply. Besides greatly reducing the
output of passenger cars to conserve
labor and materials, the manufacturers
are expected to concentrate their ener-
gies upon war work.
On the committee of manufacturers
are w. C. Durant, j. N. Willys, John F.
Dodge, w. e. Flanders, c. G. Hanch
and Hugh Chalmers. They ISSUED this
statement to-night:
after a thorough investigation the
committee was convinced that the de-
mands of the government, direct and
ing that these demands should be
given unquestioned priority, volun-
teered all possible assistance and
pledged the entire resources of the
automobile industry to speeding up the
war programme, at the sametime keep
ing in mind it's accomplishments with
SO little disturbance to general busi-
ness as possible.
"Until the government r. r.quirem ents
are more definitely known, the auto
mobile industry, in addition to the
manufacture of airplane engines, am
bulance trucks, tanks, tractors, gun
other munitions, will apply itself to
helping to solve the great problem of
transportation, which is directly in it's
line"

William II. Anderson, state superin-
tendent of the Anti Saloon League, is
after William J. Bryan again because
Mr. Bryan, as the head of the National
Dry Federation, uses stationery saving
that the Methodist Episcopal Church is
q "constituent body" of the National
Dry Federation. In long open letter
sent to the former Secretary of State
he says:
II will personally contribute five
hundred dollars to the so-called Dry
Federation through you if you will
prove the statement on it's letter-head
carrying your name that the Meth odist
Episcopal Church is constituent body
Of the National Dry Federation.
THE public has right to know
whether the claims made by the So
called "Dry Federation" are true, and
if not whether you have been imposed
upon or are a party to the deception.
If you have been imposed upon, why do
you not admit it frankly, and why do
you not direct your anger against
those who deceived you instead of
against one who exposed the decep-

for conspiracy, were returned yester-
day against William Hamlin Childs,
