WASHINGTON. March 6. AdmlM lon
drawn from Joseph F. Emlth, president of
the Mormon church, respecting his con-vL-tlons
.f violations of the law forbtiding
l)tamous cohabitation again constituted
feutare of the proceedings today before
the senate committee on privileges and
election against Senator Iteod Smoot of
Utah.
The witness, angered by the persistent
efforts of some members of the committee
to obtain from him every detail, turned on
congress and charged that body with Inter
fering, without authority. In his private do
mestic affairs and usurping the r" wen of
the Utah courts, which alone, he said, pos
sessed the right to hold him to, account for
bis conduct.
While the witness had been taken In
hand by the defense for Qurpofes of cross
examination the members of the commit
tee In reality consumed the greater portion
of the time, and matters were briukht
out along thai Hoe followed by the prosecu
tion In the three first days of the hearing.
Some of the testimony proved highly sen
sational. The hearing will be continued at
10:30 Monday morning.
Calling President Joseph E. Smith of the
Mormon church to the stand today, Attor
ney A. B. Worthlngton resumed cross-examination
for the defense In h- lnvestlgH
tlon before the senate committer on priv
ileges and elections In the case of Reed
Bmoot of Utah. He asked Mr. Smith If he
had any statements showing the propor
tion of polygamlats In the Mormon church.
Mr. Smith said his reco'.leotion Is that
' when the Utah commission was created In
ISM and undertook to administer the laws
of the territory 12, OC polygamlnts were ex
cluded from voting. "As the women vote
In Utah," he said, "and as It requires two
women to one man to form polygamy In
kthe state probably
eluded as polygai
than 4.000."
Senator Dubois
probably the number of males ex-
y garni l would not be more
exercised a right to ques
tion the witness on this point and said the
population then was about 230,000, and of
that number there were i-bout 60,000 Gen
tiles. He wanted excluded from considera
tion the number not Inclined to enter a
state of polygamy. Ho said President
Smith's statement of the percentage In
polygamy Included suckling babes and chil
dren and that he objected to having Mr.
Smith's statement go before the country
unchallenged.
After a further statement of pie number
of polygamlst families In Utah, Mr. Smith
read from an Interview be gave to a rep
resentative of the Associated Press In 1902,
showing the following:
In 1K, at the time of the late Pres
ident Woodruff's manifesto, there were
2.461 such families. In October It was
found that this number had been reduced
an follows.:
By death. 750: by removals beyond the
confines of the republic, sixty-three; b)
divorce, ninety-five; leaving at that tlm
1.643. It Is now ascertained that the orl
Inal number has" been reduced by 1,654. or
St Mr cent, lea vine- only S97 still living,
and a great majority of them are of ad
vanced age- 1
Senator Dubois asked If any United
States officials now took statistics oh po
lygamy and the witness replied In the nega-
Senator Dubois, ."thess
figures are only church statistics."
As to Other Officers.
Mr. Worthlngton asked regarding Mr.
Smith's son, Hiram Smith, and was told
that he Is S3 years old and has a wife and
children, but Is not a polygamlst. He la
one of the twelve apostles.
The first counselor now Is John R. Win
der. He and his fellow counsellor and two
apostles have been appointed since Mr.
Smith became president. He said he could
not say whether these men are cohabiting
with more than one wife, but that "they
. are reputed to be the husband 'of more
than one wife." In regard to John Henry
.Smith, a cousin, Mr. Smith said their
families ars Intimate and "I am strongly
Inclined to be of the opinion that he Is
cohcbitlng with plural wives."
deferring to Senator Bailey's questions
yesterday In regard to the manifesto. Mr.
Worthlngton read from a sermon of Pres
ident Woodruff, delivered a year after the
manifesto against plural marriages, In
which President Woodruff declared that
he was moved, and 10,000 Latter Day Saints
were moved, by the speech of God to aban
don the custom of plural marriages. Sen

This Is bow Llquosxme came to be'
known lit America.
A few years ago some Chicago men In
' their- travels learned that a new product
had been discovered which would de
stroyat once and forever the cause of
a germ disease.
This product had for more than 20
years been the constant subject of scien
tific ami chemical research. It was man
ufactured solely from gas, made In large
part from the best oxygen producers,
and by a secret process requiring 14
days. The product was then known as
liquefied ozone, because it accomplished
what oxygen does.
The remarkable cures due alone to
this product led these men to investigate
( It. For two years they, tested It, through
physicians and hospitals, in this country
ami others. They cured with it thou
minds of the most ditticult cases obtain
able. Including every disease which was
then called lucurable. Then these men
combined and staked on this product
their fortunes and their reputations.
We I?aid $100,000
For the American rUhts to Liquosone

is the highest price ever paid for similar

We alit (bat price because we had

Then w appropriated $.VJ,0iO to give
a minion bottles away, one to each of a

ator Bailey contended that It was In
obedience to the demand of the law or the
consequences r.f the law that proved the
revelation. Continuing, he said:
"For my pwrt. I don't have much faith
In a doctrine that doesn't get a revelation
commanding a change of conduct until
there Is a stntute compelling It."
"All that, of course. Is a matter of
opinion," said Senator Foraker.
"I don't think It Is a matter of opinion.
either." said Senator Bailey. "I, myself, !
have been rompeJIed to submit to certain
rules Just because It was the law, and
vicious law at thst But how far I would
have submitted If I had received a revela
tion from God to do something else, I am
not prepared to say. I think the whole
thing was more a matter of law than of
revelation."
"When the law were passed, which
were not In harmony with the teaching of
our church." said Mr. Smith, "we held that
that they were unsuccessful. Of course,
our own rules commanded that we obey
the constitution of the land, but we fought
the validity of the new laws from the low
est to the highest court and when It was
settled by the supreme court of the United
States that plural marriages could no
longer be Indulged In, of course we were
Inclined to obey."
Witness Visibly Affected.'
But we had a revelation on our own"
statute books In regard to plural marriages
and It was necessary to obey that In ogder
to obtain certain blessings that could not
be received without obeying It. Whether
we should obey the law of the !and or con
tinue to practice the. law of tHe chrurch was
a serious question.
"We hold that the president of the church
Is entitled to receive revelations Inspired by
the Almighty God. President Woodruff
sought guidance from the Lord and the
Lord made It manifest to him that It was
his duty to stop plural marriages. He pro
claimed that revelation ' and It was sub
mitted to the entire church and accepted
by the entire church, and thus became bind
ing, and from that day to this the law of
the land has been kept so far as plural
marrlage are concerned. But there Is a
great difference between taking a plural
wife contrary to law and In taking care of
the wives taken before it was a violation
of the law.
"I would not desert my wives. I would
not abandon my children. I will run my
risks lefore the law."
President Smith's voice shook with emo
tion. He showed more feeling than he had
at any previous time exhibited, as ha
leaned forward and suld: ' But It Is to the
law of Utah that I am answerable; It Is thu
laws of my state that have the right to
punish me. The courts of Utah are of
competent jurisdiction. Congress has no
business to Interfere with my private af
fairs. If the officials of my Mate do not
see fit to call me to account for my con
duct. I cannot help It. Congress h?a no
right to Interfere. It has no right to pry
Into my marriage relations and call me to
account."
Chairman Burrows at this point ques
tioned the witness. He asked: "Tou say
you would not abandon your wives or your
children. Why do you consider It neces
sary to have Issue from your plural wives i
In order to clothe and care for your chil
dren that had been born before unlawful
cohabitation became a crime?"
"Because my wives are Uke all other
women. I Is necessary to maintain peace,
harmony and good will between myself and
my good wives. That, is the kernel In the
nut. That Is why I have chosen not to
obey the laws of my state prohibiting
polygamous cohabitation." ,
Senator Quotes Scripture.
"The church gave me my wives, and I
do not think the church would be consist
ent In taking then)," said Mr. Smith In
answer to a question as to why he did not
agree to the Woodruff manifesto.
"The Lord glrelh and the Lord taketh,"
quoted Senator Bailey from the scriptures.
Continuing, the senator aald It appeared
that polygamous cohabitation Is forbidden
by both the law of the land and the law
pf the church as laid down In the Wood
ruff manifesto. And addressing the witness
he asked: "Then as head of the church
you are violating the laws of the land and
the ordinances of your church as well.'"
"Not the ordinances," said Mr. Smith.
"Well, the law. then."
"No, the rule," aald the witness.
The rule after all la the law for con
duct," aald Senator Bailey.
"I was only trying to emphasize what
the revelations are. I don't know as much
about the nice distinctions In religion as
I hope I do about the law, but It appears
that both the rule of the church and the
law of the land forbade polygamous cohab
itation, and you as the head of the church
violated both."
"I will not quarrel with the senator about
that," the witness replied. Later he said
that Senator Bailey's assumption was cor
dial. In reply to Senator Overman,. Mr. Smith

proved the power of Liquozone to most
of the sick in America.
Kills Inside Germs
The great value of Liquozone lies In
the fact that it kills germs in the body
without killing the tissues, too. There

and it cannot be taken lnttrnally. Medi
cine is almost helpless in any germ dis
ease, as every physician knows.
Liquozone is so certain that we pub
lish on every bottle an offer of $1, On) for
a disease germ that It cannot kill. , Yetr
to the human body Liquozone is as harm
less as air. And it is a wonderful tonic.
Those who know it best use it in every
gluss of water they drink, to prevent
germ contagion and to keep them well.
Acts Like Oxygen
The virtue of Liquozone lies in the fact
thst it does what oxygen does. Oxygen
is the vital part of air, the very source
of vitality, theailost essential element of
life. It is oxygen that turns the blue
blood to red tu the lungs. It Is oxygen
that eliminates the waste tissue ami
builds up the new. It is the nerve food,
the blood food: and every function of
life depends on It. '
But an excess of oxygeu-the very life
of the auhuul Is deudly to vegetable
matter. 4ud ytrnu art veyetabltt.
There is no doubt that oxygen was in

against germs.

edition of doctrine and covenants, but that
this was an oversight and would be cor

Smith said that he does not teach polygamy
and added: "I am not openly and ob
noxiously practicing polygamous cohabita
tion." "How could you better teach polygamy
than by practicing It?" Mr. Burrows con
tinued. The reply was: "I am not practicing
polygamy. J am practicing polygamous
cohabitation, which Is not polygamy. Poly
gamy Is plural marriage and I have taken
no plural wives since the manifesto of
1S0O."
Replying to a question from Senator
Overman Mr. Smith said that the pamph
let containing the manifesto did not state
In terms thst It was a revelation from
God, but that the statement was made that
It was published by authority of the
church, which was sufficient. It then'np
peared that the manifesto had not been
put In as evidence, and Mr. Taylor then
Introduced It with other documents.
A few minutes before the time for ad
journment arrived, a photographer ap
peared In the room with a huge camera,
and was about to focus It upon the com
mittee and Its distinguished witnesses, but
Senator Dillingham made strenuous objec
tion. Chairman Burrows stated that no
'photograph of the committee or of the room
would be taken without the consent of the
committee. The photographer then folded
up his apparatus.
The committee then adjourned until Monday.

CHICAGO, March B. Circulars of the
Zlon Co-oporatlve Mercantile Institution of
Utah, bearing on the Smoot case and sent
out from Salt Lake City, have been re
ceived In Chicago. The full text of the cir
cular Is a follows:
From the Zlon's Co-operative Mercantile
Institution, Salt Lake City. Utah.
Gentlemen: Once more the country Is be
ing disturbed by an anti-Mormon agitation,
the purpose in view being the expulsion
from the United States senate or Reed
Smoot, a senator from Utah, who was duly
elected and seated, notwithstanding the
disturbance created at the time by over
xealous and "mistaken religious enthusiasts.
It Is conceded by his opponents that Sen
ator Smtoot Is not. and never has been, a
polyramLst; that his personal character Is
beyond reproach; that nothing can be al
leged against him except that he is an
apostle In the Mormon church.
The hostile public sentiment has been
fomented by a coterie of sectarian min
isters In the city, whose heated harangues
have excited religious circles until appeals
to their reason, justice and Christian tol
erance seem to be In vain.
Senator Smoot la a director In this Insti
tution. Is a thorough business man and Is
Identified with a number of Utah enter
prises which have relations with the manu
facturing and mercantile world. He Is a
representative man. and no constitutional
or rational objection can he raised against
him. The present commotion Is injurious
to the business Interests of this Institution
and of this state. It hinders fhe Influx of
capital and obstructs commercial progress.
We therefore appeal o you for such proper
aid as you may be able to render In pre
venting the wrong thnt would be done to
Utah If the present demand should prevail
against the right of a state of the union
to freely choose Its own representatives In
the national congress.
A word from you to the senators from
your state, to strengthen them In resisting
the forces of rellsloift prejudice, certainly
would receive due consideration and It
would be In the Interest of republican prin
ciples, of civil and religious liberty and of
this entire nation as well as the state of
Utah. We are. s-entlemen, vours respect
fully, JOSEPH F. SMITH.

When Yos Have a Bad Cold
You want a remedy that will not only give

Farmers Dispose of Wheat.
. HURON, S. D., March 6. (Special.)
Much wheat has been marketed at this
point and at all stations on the Chicago V
Northwestern system and fne Great North
ern during the past week. .The Inoreaae In
price prompted a majority of farmers to
dispose of their surplus from last year's
crop. A goodly number ' ve already sig

wheat acreage the present season. There

Germ Diseases
The diseases in this list are known to

only way to euro them is to kill those
germs, and medicine cannot do that.
Medicine sometimes acts as a toulc, aid

those results are Indirect and uncertain,
and they depend on the patient's condi

Liquozone is the only way to directly
attack the cause of these troubles. For
that reason, diseases which have resisted
medicine for years yield at once to Liquo

list that we will gladly send to every

Report on rostofflce? Appropriation
Bill Gives Occasion for Referring
to Alleged Conditions la that
Department
WASHINGTON, March 8. The report on
the postoffice appropriation bill, containing
a summary of the contents of the bill made
public at the time of its completion, wss
filed In the house today. The report Is
acoompanled by a statement of the views
of the minority signed by Representatives
Moon, Griggs, Cowherd, Flnley and Kluts.
Mr. Moon also submitted views of his own,
condemning railway mall subsidies and the
provision In the bill for the lease for fifty
years of postoffice facilities of the New
York Central railway In New York City.
In the minority report proper an Investi
gation Is urged. The conclusions of the
Brlstow Investigation are made a part of
the report, which Is declared to be a dis
closure "of startling corruption Id the di
vision Investigated and a method of diiing
businees naturally conducing to fraud."
The report then states that this lnvestlga-4
tlon was confined largely to one division
and It Is Impossible to say whether or not
the same corrupt methods obtain In other
divisions. The business Intercourse be
tween the divisions make such a condition
possible, It says, and some system of
checks Is advocated so that fraud could
not easily be accomplished. The .minority
report concludes on this subject:
In view of the Interesting report men
tioned and of the hearings, and of the de
tailed proof furnished by the department
to the committee on Impsnper conduct of
pootofflcn officials and of the charges of
other division of the department and the
Imperfect methods of obtaining fivts as
to the conduct of affairs In that office. It
would seem to be the part of wisdom that
the houne should proceed to a' full and
complete Investigation of the Postofnce de
partment In all of Its branches, for the bet
terment of the service, the prevention of
frauds and the general protection of the
public lntereMs.
May Veto Rosebud Bill.
Representative James Sherman of New
York, chairman of the Indian affairs com
mittee of the house of representatives, had
a conference today with the president re
garding the bill providing for the opening
to settlement of 416.0TO acres of land In the
Rosebud reservation In Gregory county.
South Dakota. By the terms of the measure
the land may be sold to settlers for not
less than $6 an acre, the amount of the
purchase price to be paid in five annual
Installments, the land not sold under the
first offer to be allotted at 14 an acre.
President Roosevelt informed Mr. Sherman
that he was opposed unalterably to the
terms of payment fixed In the bill as It
passed the house. In fact, his opposition to
the price of the laiul as specified In the
house bill Is so strong that. If the measure
were passed by congress In that shape, he
would veto It It hae been shown by excel
lent authorities that the land la Worth an
average price of at least W an acre at the
lowest and some of It la worth as much as
$25 an acre.
It Is understood that the president Is In
clined to adhere to the suggestion that the
lan be disposed of at auction, but It aeems
likely Jie may relinquish that Idea, 'If the
senate should fix a minimum price for the
land that Is appreciably higher than the
house bill.
Will Kind Out Abont Influence.
The house committee on postofllces and
post roads unanimously agreed today to
report the resolution calling for Information
relative to the use of "Influence" by mem
bers of the house In behalf of' Increases In
salaries of postmasters. Increase of clerk
hire, etc.,. to the house with the recom
mendation that It "lay on the table." The
resolutions will be accompanied. By all of
the Information which the committee has
been able to secure. Including confidential
exhibits In the Brlstow report of the postal
Investigation and other Information. This
will be printed and made public, and as It
meets the demands of the resolution the
order to "lay on the table" will not be
opposed. The report Is to be made Monday.

the land is worth an average price of at

should the senate fix a minimum price for
the land that Is appreciably higher thurt

value of the land. Mr. Sherman Intimated
that a compromise price of $5 'or 6 an acrej
might be agreed upon. In such an event he
thought the president might sign the mea
