rerns and in support oi this statement '
cited the experiences of stockmen in th.
markets. II. opposed a repeal of the for
feiture clause In th. Sherman anti-trust
law.
Mr. Stanley, a democratic member from
Kentucky, made an urgent appeal for re
lief at th. hands of congress for the to
bacco growers and the tollers In th. tobacoo
flells, and complained that competition had
been destroyed by combinations of capital.
Mr. Hedges (rep. Ia.) entertained th. house
with a few humorous thrusts at the Iowa
Jdea, which he opposed, and . with some
serious remarks on republican policies.
, Mr. Robinson (dem. Ind.), In cloning the
general debate on th. Indian bill, declared
that a monopoly existed In the coal busi
ness In th. Indian Territory, and expressed
th. belief that the subject should be In
vestigated by the Department of Commerce
and Labor. The controverted features tn
the Indian bill went over until tomorrow.
The house confirmed the right of Mr.
Sims (dem. Tenn.) to his seat. A repub
lican bad contested It
Methods of the Trusts.
Mr. Martin said that tha western stock
men had been forced to the conclusion
tl.at the great meat markets of the coun
try were manipulated against them. The
recertt meeting of the Stock Raisers' as
sociation had recognised this fact by reso
lution favoring the establishment of in
dependent packing houses.
Mr. Martin turned his attention to the
procedure of tho attorney general In 1902
against the "Beef trust," which was now
on appeal before the Bupreme court of tho
United States, "nut," continued Mr. Mar
tin, "so far as the rights of the producer
and consumer are concerned they are even
worse mare oerore this Injunction was
placed on this so-called trust. I think
there Is every Indication that after the
Injunction they changed their methods and
Instead of agreeing and combining In ad
vance their representatives go Into the
markets every day and when one buys a
lot of betf the others refrain fronj bid
ding against him and afterward divide up
the purchase among themselves."
This method, Mr. Martin declared, was a
clear violation of the terms of the Sher
man anti-trust hiw which be believed was
adequate to remedy the evil.
He paid his compliments to Senator
Forsker for Introducing a bill In the senate
to repeal the forfeiture clause of the Sher
man law and gained democratic uppiause
by declaring that Instead of rumovlng that
clause it should be enforced more rigor
ously. Mr. Martin related the experience
of stockmen In their efforts to dispose of
their stock on the Chicago market
Refased Soata Osuaha Hid.
One. be mentioned, received a bid on a
tralnload of stock at South Omaha, he did
not accept this bid, but his cars wer. all
ticketed by some on. after he had refused
the bid. When he reached Chicago h. could
get no other bid than th. precise on. mad.
at South Omaha. He determined not to sell
and had to wait for some time until finally
he accepted the bid of an Independent
packer of Indiana.
Mr. Martin said he was not one who went
Into hysteria every time the word "trust"
was mentioned. Tha trust had come to stty.
The question was would th.y let th. rest
of us stay. He believed a big monopoly ex
isted In one of the food products, which
should be Investigated by the Department
of Commerce and Labor In accordance with
his resolution.
"You will get .very vote on this side,"
said Mr. Stephens addressing Mr. Martin.
1 Mr. Martin was frequently applauded on
both sldee of th chamber.
Mr. Burk. (S. D.) replied to criticisms
mad. by Qeorge Kennan and the Indian
Rights association against the bill passed
by I he houae for th. opening of the Rose
bud, India reservation, lit denied that the
Indians were not securing their rights
under the bill.
Mr. Hedges (Ia.) suggesting that he had
been solicited to explain the "Iowa Idea,"
said that idea first contemplated tariff re
vision and now reciprocity with Canada.
Mr. Robinson (Ind.) closed general debate
on the bill. He charged that a monopoly
of the coal business existed In the Indian
territory and that 800,000 people In that ter
ritory had no redress.
The house adjourned at 5:J0 until tomorrow.

Trade and Industry are still Irregular, be

Demand for woolens for fall delivery has
not been up to expectations. Manufac

buyers disposed to purchase find dealers

The features In Iron and steel this week
have been the purchase of nearly 100,000

PREACHES POLYGAMY
(Cory
Inued from First Page.)
was proclaimed by Young and accepted as
a revalatlon.
"Does that answer your question?' asked
Mr. Smith.
"It answers as to when and where, but
not how," said Senator Foraker. "What I
want to know Is whether the members of
ths church were compelled to practice the
polygamous maniagee and If that Is true
why It Is that only 8 or 4 per cent of th.
Mormons have practiced what had been de
c la red to be a divine command."
Mr. Smith called for a copy of the book
of doctrine and covenants and read part
of the revalatlon, which he said bad been
accepted In the nature of permission to
tak. plural wives but was not made man
datory upon the members of the church.
Other passages from the same revelation
were read with particularly the portions
which prescribe the1 manner of taking mora
than one wife.
It was set forth that If one wanted to es
pouse a second virgin he could do so by
obtaining the consent of the first, but if
the consent of tne first was wltheld he
was at liberty to proceed without it. It Is
set forth also that where the first refuses
consent to share her husband with another
woman she would be "destroyed." Senator
Pett us asked the meaning ot the word "de
stroyed," In that sense.
Mr. Smith answered that she would be
destroyed by the Lord, but that he was
not informed "Just how the Lord would
go about It."
"Then It doesn't mean that the husband
could destroy her?" Senator Pet t us ssked.
"No, never."
"And I believ. few said that your stw
cesaor to the throne has more than one
wife," said Senator Dubois.
I wish to correct tho senator," re
sponded Mr. Smith. "There is no auo-
cessor to the throne."
Senator Dubois fixed the manner of suc
cession and said he would withdraw the
offensive term; that he merely wanted to
ascertain that the successor has been de
termined upon and that he ta now a polyg-
amlst. The witness admitted that was the
case.
What would you do If the principal of
plural marriages was publicly attacked T"
Senator McComas asked.
"We would defend It,' said Mr. Smith.
When this point was reached, and none
of the senators desired to ask any more
questions of the witness, Mr. Taylor was
Instructed to put In the various dociynents
and books which he Cealred to offer as ex
hibits. He said it would take him half
an hour to read them and the committee
adjourned until afternoon.
When the afternoon session of the com
mittee opened, Mr. Taylor read from he
book, "Doctrine and Covenants," the first
revelation to "Joseph the Seer," at Klrk
land, O., in 1831, declaring that he had been
ohosen to receive revelations and that none
other should be chosen "until he Is taken."
Many extracts from subsequent revelations
were read, Including that relating to polyg
amous marriages and the authority "to seal
for eternity" or to perform celestial mar
riages. These paasages were Incorporated
Into the records as a part of the testi
mony
The book on Mormonlam by Brlgham H.
Roberts was next taken up and treated
In the same manner. Senator Hoar, In a
lengthy statement going over the testi
mony that has been Introduced, si.'d It
would soon be known whether Mr. Taylor
expects to controvert the facts as set forth
by Mr. Smith, that there have been no
plural marriages nlnce 1890.
"I expect to show," said Mr. Taylor,
that many plural marriages have been
solemnised In Utah since 1K90."
'And that Mr. Smith had knowledge of
them?" asked Mr. Beverldge.
Whether with hla knowledge, I cannot
say. I cannot connect Hmoot's name with
every word I utter," said Mr. Taylor. Con
tinuing, he said:
gmoot's Ksoslrdge of Polygaaiy.
"I expect to show that these marriages
have been consummated among officer of
the church and that Senator Smoot as n
member of the hierarchy must have had
knowledge of the fact."
"Why Is it that the manifest does not
appear In the doctrine and covenants with
the other revelations?" asked Mr. Worth
lngton. "It Is an oversight, I should Judge. I
believe now from what I have heard. It
should be In, and I certainly will use my
Influence to have It Inserted In the next
edition published," answered Mr. Smith.
Mr. Smith testified that the law making
polygamous cohabitation a crime was
passed by the Utah territorial legislature,
which waa overwhelmingly composed of
Mormons, and that the constitutional con
vention was composed In a large majority
of Mormons, so that the existing raws of
Utah, leglxlatlng against polygamous co
habitation really were- the result of the
efforts of the Mormons themselves.
Mr. Hoar wanted to know what Mr.
Smith would do If the revelation con
flicted with the law. "Which would you
obey?" he asked.
"With me, perhaps, the revelation would
be th. uppermost," said Mr. Smith.
"Suppose you received a revelation com
manding your people to do something that
would conflict with the law of the land,
which would they have to obey?"
"Whichever they pleased," was the reply.
He read from one of the standards of au
thority: "Lt no man breok the law of
the land, for he that keepeth the laws of
Ood has no need to break the law of the
land." The committee adjourned at 4:40
until 10:30 tomorrow.
