Cklcasjo deratloa of Labor Says He

Ordinance.
CHICAGO, March 7. Mnyor Harrison has
Man put on the "unfair" list of the Fed
eratlon of Labor.
The fight on the mayor was brought into
the Central Labor organisation by John O.
Delaney,a member of the Stationary Engl
risers' union and an Inspector under the
city board of examining engineers.
The grievance of Delaney and his aaso
elates Is that he refused to permit the ex
amining board to be made an organising
agency for the union. The charge waa that
unlicensed engineers were working In the
office buildings and hotels in the places
vacated by the union men who atruck Jan
uary L and that the city authorities ar
afjald to prosecute them.
Proclaiming an Individual as "unfair"
when he is not engaged In any buslnesa Is
almost unprecedented. It was taken to
mean that union men should refuse to sup.

elae.

SAN FRANCISCO, March 7. (New York
Heifld Service Special Telegram to The
Bee.) Prominent rallrond officials are still
wondering why Horace O. Burt abruptly"
resigned the presidency of the Union Fa
ciflo railroad, with Its salary of $.15,000 i
year, a few weeks ago and quietly went
to the Orient by way of Ban Francisco. A
local paper says there has been no explana
tlon of Mr. Burt's conduct until now.
It la known that through Count Casslnl,
the Russian ambassador to the United
States, Mr. Burt has been given a year's
employment as an expert by the Russian
authorities on communications and rail
ways. They want him to make a report
on needed improvements for the Trans
slberlan road and the new Orendburg and
Taahkcnd railway.
It is said his remuneration will be $100,-
000 for making these two expert reports.
As near as can be ascertained. Mr. Burt
la to consult with the Russian engineers
on the problem of building around Lake
Baikal Instead of using a ferry system,
forty-eight miles tn extent, across the lake.
He is also to criticise the alignment of the
Siberian road an its bridge and culvert
work and the rails.
The Orendburg and Tashkend line la in
tended to shorten the distance and lessen
the difficulties of conveying troops to the
Afghan frontier and the Pamirs, and like
wise reduce the distance between the heart
of Russia and the Chineae by many miles.

ter In the poslofTlce Investigation of last

man Overstreet of the house committee
on postofflce and pnstroads laid before the
house of representatives a closely printed
document of 218 pages, recounting the In
stances on file In the Poseofttce department
In which members of the senate and house
of representatives have used their influ
ence with the officials of the Postofflce de
partment, with more or less success, to
secure Increases in salaries of postmasters,
additional clerk , hire and advantageous
leases of buildings for postofflce purposes.

said to be tebhnlcal violations of the staN

apoctle. Senator Foraker asked Mr. Smith
If he had had any objection to Mr. Smoot
becoming a candidate for senator and Mr.
Smith said: .
"I gave my consent to his becoming a
candidate."
"Why did you think your consent neces
sary?" asked Chairman Burrows.
'Because it is a rule that any one of the
general authorities of the church desiring
to engage in any business outside of his
churoh must get the consent of the first
residency ana the twelve apostles before
he can do so," mid Mr. Smith.
The presiding officer of Mr. Smith's ward

said Is reputed to be a polygamlst.
Regarding; Smith's Children.
Mr. Taylor returned to tho testimony In
regard to the number of children Mr. Smith
has had since the manifesto of 1890 and he
repeated that there had been eleven, to the
Wb. of his recollection.
"Are you sure of the number?" asked Mr.
Taylor.
"I cannot say that I am absolutely sure."
"Now 1 don't want to be Impertinent, but
Isn't It a fact that there have oeen twenty?"
asked Mr. Taylor.
"No, nothing like that," waa the answer,
"Well, how many by your wife nmed
Alice? Please give the names."
"By Alice there waa Fielding, Jesse and
Andrew. The youngest is about 4 years
old," answered the witness.
"That Is the one born on the day of Mr.
Smuot's acceueion as an apostle, Is it not f"

dren are Silas, James and Agnes, he stJd,
"Whose child Is Samuel?" aiked Mr.
Taylor.
"He Is Mary's," he answered. He stated
that he could not give Samuel's age or
the age of his son, Calvin, and that by
each of his other three wives he had had
at least .wo children since the manifesto
Mr. Taylor pressed the witness for a de.
tailed statement of the children by t.ie
other three wives and the witness pro
tested vigorously.
"Am I to understand that I am not to
be permitted to save children by my law
ful wife?" he asked of the chairman.
"tlnless I am compelled to da so, I shall
decline to answr'J-hy questions in regard
to the number ofT children I laave had by
my first wife."
What do you mean by lawful wife?'
asked Chairman Burrows.
"I have a legal wife," answered Mr.
Smith. . "I mean the woman I married
first; the woman I man-led many years
ago. She Is the mother of eleven of my
children."
"Do you 'nclude the number of children
you have Had by this woman since the
manifesto of 1890 In the number of chil
dren you have had by all your wives since
that time?" asked 6enator Hoar.
"I do," was the response.

Has Forty-Tiro Children.
Mr. Teller questioned the witness In re
gard to the ages of several others of the
children and Mr. Smith answered! "I sm
not In the habit of carrying birth records
about with me."
Several question weTe addressrd to the
witness in regard to the alleged marriage,
of Apostle Teasdale to a plural wife since
the manifesto of 1MM. Attorney Vancott,
for the defense, entered a protiet on ac
count of the manner In which the questions
were, put. Before he waa allowed to leave
the stand Chairman Burrows Inquired:
"How many children have you now, Mr.
Smith?"
"Forty-two," was the answer, "twenty-
one boys and twenty-one girls, and I am
proud of every one of them."
The witness was asked by Senator Bur
rows If Joseph Smith. Jr., the founder of
the Mormon church, was a polygamlst, and
after answering affirmatively he said that
Mr. Bmlth "was married to Elisa R. Snow
In W2 and to Maria Partridge in the '40s.
His first wife waa living with him when he
married the second."
Senator Overman said he had a pamphlet
saying that Jesus Christ was a polygamlst.
Turning to Mr. Bmlth, he asked:
Jeans and Polyarniny.
"Is that what your church teaches?"
"No, sir," was the response. "What we
teach Is that Jemis Christ was desr-endod
through a long line of polygamlsts,
through David and down to Abraham."
With that Mr. Smith loft the stand, hav
ing been the only witness in the five days
the hearing had progressed.
The prosecution then called Mrs. Clara
Mabel Kennedy of Sevier county, I'tah, to
the stand, who testified to having been
married into a plural marriage since the
manifesto of 1S90. She said the ceremony
had been performed by an apostle of the
Mormon church. Mrs. Kennedy was born
In Albany, N. Y., twenty-seven years ngo.
Her parents went to Vtah when sho was 2
years old. Her parents were Mormons.
She had been taught the propriety of plural
marriages and In fact never had known
any different life until after her marriage,
at the nge of 17, when sho was married to
Jame Francis Johnson who already had
one wife. Mrs. Kennedy said she met the
first wife and they had a "slight interview"
about g-olng Into the family as a second
wife. The first wire 3ave her consent to
the arrangement.
Mrs. Kennedy said she lived with Mr.
Johnson about five years, part of the time
In the same house with the first wife. Sho
said she had two children 1 Mr. Johnson,
one of whom Is now living.
Coold Not Stand the I'ressnre.
She separated from Mr. Johnson at the
end of five years and about a year after
that married Mr. Kennedy, by whom she
has two children. Her present husband Is
an Episcopalian, but she remains in the
Mormon church. .
"Why did you separate from your hus
band?" Senator Foraker asked.
"Well, I could not stand the pressure any
longer," she replied. She was unable to
give a description of Apostle Young.
Chairman Burrows adjourned the hear
ing until tomorrow with Mrs. Kennedy still
on the stand.
IOWA MORMONS DEMY TESTIMONY.
Members of Rtorgiali ed Clmrcli Pro
test .gainst Smith's Statements.
W At'III NGTON, March 7. Chairman Bur
rows of the senate committee on privileges
and elections has received from E. F.
Shupe, president, and A. E. Tabor, secre
tary,' of the Eastern Colorado cpnferenoe
of the Reorganized Church of Jesus .Christ
of Latter Day Saints, a telegram denying
the testimony of Joseph F. Smith, president
of the Mormon church, that Joseph Smith,
jr., was the originator of the doctrine of
polygamy. Chairman Burrows has caused
subpoeinas to be issued for Messrs. Shupe
and Tabor.
The telegram to Senator Burrows declares
as untrue the statement of President Smith
that revelations commanding polygamy
ere first given to Joseph Smith, Jr. It as
serts that Brtgham Young alone U respon
sible for that "pernicious doctrine" and
that the polygamy religion-was introduced
first by Brigham Young In 1862, nearly "nine
years after the death of Joseph Smith, who
never had but one wife." The te'.ogrum
continues:
Statements to the contrary are false. Ask
Smith to show any children from any of
tha alleged plural wives of the first Joseph
Smith. The courts have decreed that the
I'ttih Mormon church Is not like the church
organized by Joseph Smith and that the
first Mormon church's successor is the re
organised Latter Day Saints, headquarters
at Lainoni, la., consisting of l,0u0 honorable
members, who do not believe In nor prac
tice polygamy. The Mormon covenants
were changed In 185t and what purported
to be tliu polygamy revelation was in
serted. The original book does not contain
such a doctrine. If you will examine sec
tion 42, Rook of Mormon, page 111), you will
find It condemns polygamy in the strongest
terms.

books for the special county bond election,
unless the Hoard of County Commissioners
arranges so that the county government
will pay the bill. It was argued that muni
cipal finances are stringent and as this Is
purely a county affair, the city was hardly
called upon to foot the cost. The city clerk
was directed to open negotiations with the
commissioners with this end in view.

REVIEWS THE CABINET RESIGNATIONS
Falls to f ee Tleason for Discussing a
Were Ont "ahjert and Tarns
Batteries on Lord
Hamilton.
1ONDON. March 7. In the House of
Commons tonlsht on a motion of adjourn
ment for the purpose of giving the premier
an opportunity to relate the circumstances
surrounding the resignations from his cab
inet lust autumn, Mr. Balfour reviewed at
length the entire situation prior to and
af,ter the crisis. He said ho welcomed thl
opportunity, but fulled, to see a re.-wou
for taking up the time of the country In
dlsctis.olng n worn-out iuKjcct.
Referring to his pamphlet which was sent
to the cabinet members In August th
premier turned his batteries on Lord
George Hamilton, formerly secretary for
India, saying he had failed to deny the
statements attributed to him Until Mr.
Balfour had publicly declared them to be
"totally untrue." In September came the
conclusion.
It was nut within the region of practical
politics to suggest a tax on f.md, tho pre
mier continued, and Joseph Chamberlain
had reached a similar conclusion.
Concerning tho allegation that he had
kept any material facts from his col
leagues tho pre vl'T said he rould not
imagine a more piynosterous statement or
a more discreditable one, were It true.
Never hud a more foolls or more hoseloss
charge been made than that he had
Jockeyed his right honorable frlemls out
of the cabinet by keeping Mr. Chamber
lain's resignation secret. Mr. Chamberlain
himself had announced his resignation.
He said he never knew what great men
resigned ministers were until they resigned,
and that he believed there waa no feeling
on either side that Bhould strain personal
friendship.
In conclusion the premier paid a tribute
to the duke of Devonshire.

"Use Hyomei
at Our Risk."
Sherman & McConnell Druj Co. Wll
Pay For HYOMEI Treatment If l
Tails to Cure Catarrh.
Bo pronounced has been the relief and
curs following the use of llyomel In catar
jhal troubles, that In nearly every city and
vllluge all over this country the leading
druggists have advertised that they would
pay for llyomel themselves If it did not
effect a cure. In this city, Sherman ,& Mc
Connell Drug Co.. have publicly announced
In The Bee and others papers, "1'aa llyomel
at our risk." The result has been an
enormous demand for the llyomel outfits,
and many unusual euros have been made.
The fact that Hymnal Is so convenient
and complete and that it cures by merely
breathing and nut by drugging the stomach,
no doubt has had considerable lnfluenre In
creating confidence) in the treatment. When
Hyotncl Is ustd, every particle of air that
enters the head and throat and goes to the
lungs, is charged with healing balsams that
kill the g'-nns of catarrh and soothe and
heal tho Irritated muoous membrane.
Sherman & McConnell Drug Co. urge u'.l
who are subject to catarrh or catarrhal
colds to get a Hyomei outfit from them and
use It at thflr risk. No matter how skep
tical you may be, you cannot dispute the
faJrnes) of this offer. L'se Hyomei for a
month. If, at the end of thirty days, you
can say to 6herinan & McConnell Drug Co.,
corner lth and Dodge Bts., Omaha, "It did
not help me," they will refund your money
without question or argument This Is tht Ir
wsv or removing all doubts as to the power
of Hyomei to cure catarrhal troubles. They
believe It the alrot.geat evidence that can be
offered lu lh curatlv power ut llyomel.
