HEARING CASE OF SHOOT
Sstita Committee L tni U Etatenea.i of
Attorneji 'or ProteiUn.i.
CHARGES OF ONE PARTY ARE PRESENTED
Former Ttcitrenen t all ve Tnjlor Aban
fionn ( linrare of I'olBnmy and
Baaca Claim for Bxpnlaloa on
Cbnrch Standing,
WASHINGTON. Jan. ll-The senate com
mittee on privileges and elections met today
fcr the purpose of hearing the presentations
of the attorney on both sides of the case
involving the right of Senator Smoot of
Utah to occupy his scat. Former Repre
sentative Taylor of Ohio was heard for
some of the. prntmttnnts and T. F. Btephen
:'cn for those who are representing thr Na
tional Reform association. A. 8. Worthing
ton and W'nldrmar Van Cott were present
on behalf of Senator bmoot, who also waa
In attendance.
The first presentation was made by Mr.
Taylor, who began h!n statement by saying
that he did not know that any proof .would
b.j presented In support of the charge that
Mr. Smoot v-as a polypntnlst. He took up
the fjuestlun of the right of the senate to
expel a member, contending that the sen
ate's authority In the matter was limited
only by tho question of propriety. On the
pclnt of testimony Mr. Taylor said the Pro
testants expected to prove the following
charges:
What Mar Or Troven.
1. The Mormon priesthood, according to
the doctrine of the church and the belief
and practice of Its membership, is vested
with and assumed to exercise supreme au
thority in nil thing temporal and spliltual,
civil and political. The Head of the church
claims to receive ulvlne revelations, and
these Reed Hmoot, by his covenants and
obligations, is bound to accept and obey.
2. The tirst presidency of the twtjve
npoptles. of whom Reed Smoot Is one, Is
supreme In exercising the authority of the
church and In the transmission of the au
thority to their successors. Kach of them
Is called prophet, seer and revelator.
3. As shown by their teaching and by
their own llyes. this body of men has not
abandoned belief In pulvgamy and polyga
mous cohabitation. On the contrary, as
the ruling authorities of the church they
promulgate In the most solemn manner the
doctrine of polygamy without res rvation.
The president of the Mormon church and a
majority of the twelve apostles now prac
tice polygamy pnd uolvgamous cohabita
tion and some of them have taken
polygamous wives since the manifesto of
1XS0. The.e things have been done with the
knowledge ar.d countenance of Reed Smoot.
Plural .na-.vliiRc ceremonies have been per
formed by apostles since the manifesto of
IMtO and many bishops and other hiah offi
cials of the, church have -.nltcn plural wives
since that time. All of the first presidency
and the twelve apostles encourage, counte
nance, conreal and connive at polygamy
and polygamous cohuliltntlon, and honor
and reward by high offices and distin
guished preferment these who most persist
ently and defiantly violate tho law of the
land.
4. Th.Migh pledged by the compact of
statehood and bound by the law of the:r
commonwealth, this supreme bodv, whose
voice Is law to Its people and whose mm
bers were Indi'-'dually. dlrectlv responsible
for good fnlth ro the American people, per
mitted without protest or obfeetlon their
legislators to pass a law nullifying the
statute against polygamous cohnbltatlon.
For sll these things Heed Bmoot Is re
rponslble. In law and In conscience, to th'B
oody and to the American people.
Sara Ground of Protest la Changed.
In connection with the third specification
Mr. Taylor gave a list of the documents
recogniied by the Mormon church aa In
spired. In this list he did not Include the
'manifesto of 1S90, suspending the command
to take plural wives, but he contended
that this manifesto doea not prohibit
polygamy. He also declared that the doc
trines and covenants of the church are
still published by the church without any
reference to the manifesto.
In reply Mr. Worthlngton said the state
ments made by Mr. Taylor differ very mater-ally
from Ihe charges made In the
formal statements and he asked time in
which to make a reply, which waa grunted.
Mr. Worthlngton agreed that there waa
no limit to the power of the senate to pass
upon the qualification of Its own members,
but contended that Its Jurisdiction Is lim
ited. Ho then laid down the general prop
ortion, that the renite was without Juris
diction of offenses which may havo bean
comnltted, before a member became a
senator unless committed In connection
with his election.
. ,-Do you mean," asked Senator Pettua. a
member of the committee, "that this body

Is not permitted to Inquire as to any moral
quality as to one of its members with a
view to his expulsion; that no matter what
he did or said before his election, the elec
tion purified him?"
Mr. Worthlngton replied that such waa
his meaning and he quoted the action of
the senate In the Roach case and the posi
tion of the house In the Roberts case In
support of this view.
Admits Xo Offense.
In reply to a question from Senator Hop
kins as to what would be the effect if the
offense should be of a continuing character,
Mr. Worthlngton admitted that the senate
would have Jurisdiction. He also said, In
replying to Senator neverldge, that It was
not Intended to admit that his client had
been guilty of offense prior to his election.
Senator McComas asked whether there
was any one present who appeared for the
person who charges Mr. Smoot with being
a polygamlst.
No one answered, and Mr. Worthlngton
said that If any one did appear to support
that charge It must be borne In mind that
Mr. Bmoot has positively denied It. He
referred to Mr. Smoot's answer, setting
forth the circumstances of his marriage,
which Mr. Worthlngton said Is the only
marriage he has ever contracted.
Mr. Worthlngton referred to the charge
that Mr. Smoot took an oath to support
the church In connection with his election
In lyoo as an npostle of the Mormon church.
The oath taken by Mr. Smoot ns senator
had been declared, he said, incompatible
with the former oath, "and," continued
Mr. Worthlngton, "If any one has proof
that his oath of allegiance to the United
States was taken with mental reservation
let it be produced." If that charge could
be supported, said he, it would convict Mr.
Smoot of acting u He and would be a viola
tion of the eompact between Utah and the
United States before which Utah was ad
mitted into the union as a state.
(hargei Demand Proof.
These charges, he argued, demanded
proof, for If it can be shown that Mr.
Smoot lias furthered a movement to pro
mote polygamy, contrary to this compact,
"then we will say, of course, that Mr.
Smoot ought to be expelled."
Mr. Worthlngton read a large number of
court decisions leading up to the abandon
ment of polygamy and then read from offi
cial church proclamations, Including the
manifesto of 18!t0, declaring that polygamy
should be abolished. He also read the
amnetty proclamation of President Harri
son and declared that by this proclamation
and by acts of congress the people of
Utah had been absolved from the charge of
polygamy by complying with the enabling
act and admitting the state to the union.
Mr. Van Cott made a statement In Sena
tor Bmoot's behalf. He referred first to
the act of the Utah legislature nullifying
the polygamy act, and he confirmed what
Mr. Taylor had stated, that the bill had
been vetoed by a Mormon governor. Hj
said Senator Smoot had nothing to do with
the passage of that bill and should not be
charged with It.
He invited the fullest Inquiry Into Sena
tor Smoot's life.
"Wo throw down the bars," he said, "and
Invite you to investigate hla entire earner."
"If," he went on, "you find that he has
ever beer guilty of an offense against the
law, his counsel will throw up the case
and walk out. We also will throw down
the burs as to Mr. Smoot'a moral charac
ter." He denied that Senator Smoot had
cVer taken an oath which waa Inconsistent
wtlh good citlscnshlp.
Senator McComas asked whether It waa
true that the apostles take a secret oath
and Mr. Van Cott replied that not being
a Mormon, though a resident of Utah, he
could not reply of his own knowledge. It
was Lis understanding, however, that the
Mormon apostles 4ook no oath.
Senator Dubois asked how It was with
he elders, and Mr. Van Cott replied that
there might be some obligation taken In
connection with the endowment ceremony.
That was not, however, one of the charges.
Mr. Van Cott then entered Into an argu
ment to show the impropriety of Investiga
ting tho j-elatlons of other people In con
nection with the charges made against
Senator Smoot. He agreed, ho said, with
Mr. Taylor that the authority of the com
mittee In the matter of Investigation was
practically unlimited, but In view of the
fact that previous Inquiries by congress
had developed the facts with reference to
the earlier history of the Mormons, he
thought the Investigation should be con
fined to the periods since the admission of
Utah Into the union.
He thought it Improper to make inquiry
aa to what practices other Mormons might
have been engaged in. As for Senator
Smoot he denied emphatically that he had
ever encouraged polygamous cohabitation
or any other crime. He contended that If
the committee should decide to make Its
investigation general with reference to the
members of the Mormon church It should
confine Itself to polygamy and not to
polygamous cohabitation, for the reason
that It had been impossible, aa ho believed,
to entirely stamp out such cohabitation on
the persons who had entered Into polyga
mous marriages before President Wood
ruff's manifesto of 1890.
Senator Burrows, chairman of the com
mittee, asked Mr. Van Cott specifically con
cerning the charge that the first presidency
and the twelve apostles of the Mormon
church were today living in the practice of
polygamy. In asking the question he re
ferred to these officials as "the governing
power of the church."
Senator Smoot himself took exception to
the characteriratlon of the body, and nt his
Instance Mr. Worthlngton interrupted Mr.
Van Cott to say that they do not consti
tute the governing power of the church.
Joaepu Smith a Pol)-auilst.
Mr, Burrows waived the point and Mr.
Van Cott icatd that he had no personal
knowledge of the fact In the oase, but that
he understood and believed It to be a fact
that Joseph Smith, the president of the
church, was a polygamlst. As for Messrs.
I Young and. Wynder, his information was
that they wtre both monogamists.
With reference to the apostles Mr. Van
Cott said that it was his Information that
six or seven of the twelve are polyganilsts,
but be added that none of them ure living
In polygamous cohabitation. He said they
had lived in obedience to the law since the
Issuance of the Woodruff manifesto.
Replying to questions from Senator Mc
Comas as to the charge that polygamous
cohabitation was practiced by members of
the Mormon church within the knowledge
of the apostles. Mr. Van Cott said that It
was not true. He declared that Senator
Smoot did not know of such practice, and
If he did he would give the Information to
the committee. ,
Mr. Van Cott said that where the asso
elates of Mr. Smoot had practiced polygamy
or violated laws their acta would subj't
thera to punishment, but that would In no
manner unfit Mr. Smoot from qualifying as
senator.
Mr. Burrows asked Mr. Van Cott If his
answer would be the aame If It waa shown
that Mr. Smoot had knowledge of the vlo
latlona of the laws bv his rasoelates.
"If be had knowledge of auch violations
and encouraged them, then I would say
Mr. Smoot was disqualified for service as
senator." eald Mr. Van Cott, "for then he
would have been guilty of connivance at
the disregard of laws. But Mr. Smoot has
urged over snd over sgaln that every law
should be strictly observed."
Tailar Makes tatesneat.
Mr. Taylt-r replied to Mr. Smoofa attor,
ncya on the point as to whether It waa
competent for the senate to go Into the
acta of the senator prior to bia election.

Ho laid down the general proposition that
acts of a continuous character should be
Investigated, though committed before elec
tion, "nor," he said, "Is the church In gen
eral to be Investigated except as Its acts
affect the propriety of Mr. Smoot's being
here." He added, however, that It was Im
possible to know what Mr. Smoot stands
lor unless ft Is known what the' church
teaches with reference to the chnrges
against the senator. For instance, Brlgham
Young had declared that the church should
exercise control of temporal affairs: "we
want to know what has become of that
doctrine or canon," he snld. "All we want,"
he added, "Is Justice", He declared that
proof of Mr. Smoot's acta nnd his knowl
edge of other acts In enntruvention and
defiance of the law would be sunn'ted."
Six of the spristles who signed the plea
to tho president for amnesty, with vows of
patriotism and repentance, are today," he
added, "living In polygamy," end In reply
to a question by R member of the comrr.lt
tee. he said that this ws undoubtedly
within the knowledgo of Mr. Smoot.
The public hearing continued about two
hours sr.d nt Its conclusion the committee
went Into executive session.
The commit tea decided to receive from
the attorneys for Mr. Smoot a written replv
to Mr. Taylcr's argument. This reply is
expected to bo mnde Monday and Stnctor
Hurrowk will convene the committee at th9
earliest time convenient to the members.
From conversations ensuing In in? execu
tive session It wns mnde plain that ths
committee will prosecuto a thorough In-'
qulry Into the charges against Mr. Pmcot.

Kejling to (jucsllona by Mr. Uouglass

that In building up the free delivery nervlco

himself or whether ;'onn. one lu Muchen's

Mucheu did not have the right to rely
on his clerks to the extent that witness
