BARTCH PLEASED WITH VIEW
Uuli Jurist Satisfied with Hii Ctanc. for
' United Suws Sena'..
RESPONDS TO FRIENDS' APPEAL TO RUN
iri Senator Krirai Haa WIthrtrawa
tad Ei-roifKiimii Satherlnnd
la Hla Only Opponent for
the Place.
Oeorge W. Bartch, for year a Judge upon
the upreme court bench of Utah and a
candidate on the republican ticket for th
United Stiitea senate, waa In the city yes
terday. Judge ISartch has two daughter.
In the Boston Conservatory of music, and
one reason for Til trip east at this time Is
to visit the Boston Institution. From there
he will go to New York. Philadelphia and
Washington.
"My visit here has no significance," said
Justice Bartch at the I'axton. "I stopped
over to see some friends. To the question
as to whether I am a candidate for the
United States senate I must plead guilty.
While the primary object of my visit east
at this time Is to visit my daughters. 1
shall also call upon my friends at Washing
ton who have urged me to become a can
didate for the senate. I am a native of
Pennsylvania, and Senator Quay, who was
one of my personal friends, urged me to
enter the race.
"I have never given the matter much
consideration, but influential friends at
Washington have taken the matter up and
have pressed me to become a candidate. 1
hall not make a strenuous fight for the
place. President McKlnley, who was a
warm personal friend of mine, urged me to
become a candidate."
"How does Senator Tom Kearns regard
your candidacy?"
"Senator Kearns has withdrawn from the
race aJtogother. The only candidate op
posed to me Is ex-Congressman Sutherland,
who Is making a strong fight for the place.
What the result will be, of course. Is a
matter of speculation. I am entirely In
the hands of my friends. I nm surprised at
tha Interest that has been manifested in my
candidacy by my friends and by the press
both east and west."
"How dues the Mormon church regard
your candidacy?"
"That, of course, Is something I cannot
say. I never have had any conversation
with President Smith on the subject. I
think the Mormon element feels very kindly
toward me. I have sat In many important
cases involving Mormon Interests and they
feel my decisions always hnve treated them
with the same consideration as the Gen
tiles." Although very guarded In what he said,
back of Justice Bartch Is a very Interest
ing bit of Utah political history. When
Oeorge Sutherland waa a member of con
gress he wanted to appoint the postmaster
at Ogden, a prerogative Which, as member
of tha lower house, belonged to him. Sen
ator Kearns also had a man and he en
tered a strong opposition to Congressman
Sutherland's candidate. The latter Anally
pulled out of th race to the surprise and
chagrin of his friends and Senator Kearns'
man received the appointment.
Sutherland Crowds Oat Kearns.
Up to thla time Congressman Sutherland
had been a strong anti-Mormon man, but
ha threw his Influence with the Mormons,
who were already array eo against th
Kearns faction of Utah politics. Senator
Smoot, who led the Mormon fight, made
such a strong showing that he Immediately
became the recognised leader of the Mor
mon element of the republican party and
Senator Kearns stepped out of the race for
senator, while Sutherland stepped in. He
has been working hard for the office since
th victory gained by the Mormons In the
municipal elections a year ago. He led the
fight which resulted In a democratic mayor
and a majority of Mormons In the council.
Jn th last election Senator Kearns,
through his paper, the Salt Lake Tribune,
opposed the state republican ticket and took
aides with the new American party, which
made a good showing In the state elec
tions. While Sutherland claims to have votes
pledged for him In the legislature It If
claimed these votes were pledged for him
only when he was a candidate against
Senator Kearns and that they would not
weigh In the vote next January, but that
Justice Bartch would get the majority ot
votes. .
Justice Bartch is a Pennsylvanlan. In
the early days he was superintendent of
schools In one of the Pennsylvania cities.

SMOOT HEARING IS RESUMED
Committee Hart Three Witnesses Bilatite
to Attitude of Mormons,
PLURAL MARRIAGES SINCE MANIFESTO
Defendant Is Not Connected with Any
of the Altered Violations of
ata4e or National Stat
ntes on Marlage.
WASHINGTON, Dec. 12.-Thre witnesses
were heard today In the case of Senator
Reed Smoot before the senate commltteo
on .privileges and elections, the committee
resuming Its Investigation after a long re
cess. The first witness was Rev. J. M.
Buckley, editor of the Christian Advocate
of New York, who told of a Mormon meet
ing he attended In Salt Lake City, Utah,
last summer. In which President Joseph
Smith declared he would not give up his
plural wives. George Reynolds, a high offi
cial of the church, testified In regard to
the ceremonies that have taken place in
the Endowment house and concerning ec
clesiastical divorces granted by the church,
and John Henry Hamlin told of the plural
marriage of his sister, Lillian Hamlin, to
Apostle Abram Cannon, which ceremony
he said he understood to have been per
formed by President Smith since the man
ifesto of 1890. Most of th testimony re
lated to the Inside church policy, but did
not connect Senator Smoot with any of the
alleged violations of state or national
statutes. The committe adjourned until
tomorrow.
Former Representative R. W. Taylor of
Ohio acted as the counsel for the protest
ants. When the hearing opened the mem
bers of the committee present were Sen
ators Burrows (chairman), Foraker, Du
bois, Pettus and Overman.
Testimony of Dr. Bnekley.
The first witness called by Mr. Taylor
was Rev. J. M. Buckley, D. D., of Morris
town, N. J., editor of the Christian Ad
vocate of New York. Dr. Buckley told of
visits to Utah In 1901 and against last J una).
At that time ho attended a Joint conven
tion of the young men's and young women's
union of Mormonlsm. Those who spoke
were Brlgham II. Roberts, Elmlia S. Tay
lor and Pres. dent Smith. The audience was
estimated by tho witness at 11,000 persons.
The line of Inquiry introduced by Attorney
Taylor concerning the meeting was In ref
erence to what had been said at the con
vention about polygamous cohabitation.
The witness said this subject had not
been discussed by Mr. Roberts or Miss
Taylor, but the former told of "President
Smith's unequal conflict with the govern
ment" In connection with the testimony
given last winter by the privelrges and
elections committee. Dr. Buckley read from
an article he had written concerning the
convention and quoted from the speech of
President Smith on the subject of marriage.
The witness said that for ten or fifteen
minutes President Smith had talked of tho
responsibilities of marriage and how the
contract Is regarded by many persons.
"Then," said Dr. Buckley, "President
Smith drew himself up to his full height
and spoke on the subject of divorce. He
said that the mothers of his own children
had been given him by God and were saints
of God. He deplored the mother-in-law
Jokes and said that his own mothers-in-law
were the best friends he ever had; that
they were true women, worthy of their
daughters."
Dr. Buckley read from another article on
this meeting which said that President
Smith's voice rang out "as strong as Wil
liam J. Bryan's" as he defended the Mor
mon marriage and declared that polygamy
was not adultery, but was a system of mar
riage. President Smith was quoted by the
witness as saying that he could not give
up any of his wives; that it meant eternal
damnation to abandon a multiplicity of
wives.
Dr. Buckley said he had made Inquiries
concerning Senator Smoot and he had
found no one who said one word against
him. Everywhere, the witness said, Sen
ator Smoot waa given an excellent char
acter. On cross-examination Mr. Worthlngton
brought out that the statements quoted
from President Smith's speech had not
been reduced to writing until a day or two
later, but the witness declared himself
able to remember so perfectly that he can
make verbatim quotations from speeches
two or three weeks after they are de
livered. '
George Reynolds, a Mormon living In
Salt Lake City, testified that he Is the
first assistant superintendent of the Mor
mon Church Sunday school and secretary
of the mission committee of the apostles,
and former clerk or recorder of the en
dowment house. Thla relation was severed
In about 1871.
The endowment house was torn down in
1S90, but the temple is now used for the
same purpose. Mr. Reynolds told the com
mittee that he has given certificates of
marriages since he ceased to be recorder
of the endowment house In cases where
widows sought to obtain pensions. He
made the certificates from records In his
possession, but these records, he said, had
since been removed to the temple and h
ha not access to them now.
In answer to questions by Senator Over
man, Mr. Reynolds said marriage were
performed with dead person in the en
dowment house.
How Divorces Are Granted.
Mr. Taylor then asked if divorces were
granted In the endowment house.
"The church grants divorces to those who
have been married for time and eternity,
but does not divorce legal marriages until
the courts have acted," said Mr. Reynolds.
"Plural marriages are not recognized by
courts nnd therefore the church does hot
consult the court In granting divorce in
cases of such marriages."
Senator Foraker asked if such divorces
are granted from dead persons.
"In a few instances only, I should say,"
said the witness.
"For something done sfter death or be
fore?" the senator asked.
"In lifetime."
"Is the dead person given an opportunity
to be heard?" the senator asked.
"No. sir, It Is because such cases are
held to be unjust to the dead accused that
o few divorces of this kind are granted,"
said the witness.
"Is anyone appointed to defend the ac
cused?" "Never, but the complainant is given a
hearing If satisfactory evidence I furnished
to the church."
"Then It is purely ex parte?"
"Purely so."
Senator Overman was attempting to bring
out what assurance a man may have of
meeting his several wives in heaven If di
vorces sre granted after his death, when
a recess of th committee was taken.
Mr. Reynolds resumed the stand this aft
ernoon and testified that th president of
th church always has th authority to
Issue ecclesiastical divorces. Mr. Taylor
read from a republished address by Brlg
ham Young on the question of the unhappl.
ness A! first wives after plural marriages
had been contracted by their husbands.
In this address President Young said he
was going to give all women until October
1 (date of address was not offered In evl
dence) to decide whether thay wanted to
aocept th teaching of th church. In
the eveat they did not want to accept th
doctrlu President Young said h tu go
ing to give them their freedom to go where
they would. He said he was talking to all
women, his own wives Included, first wire
and all :lural wives.
Mr. Taylor asked Mr. Reynolds If that
promise to the women related to President
Young's authority to grant divorce. The
witness said he thought President Toung
did not mean that.
"Then what did he menn?"
"I think he was talking as a man who
was annoyed and did not menn what lie
said," replied Mr. Reynolds. Continuing,
he said the action of the president was
based on the same authority In "losing" on
earth'" or "binding on 'earth," referring to
divorces and mnrrlages.
Woodrnir Manifesto Not Enforeed.
Mr. Reynolds said he did not know of
any effort made by any officials of the
church to carry out the provisions of the
Woodruff manifesto, "putting an end to
polygamy."
Mr. Reynolds said the only plural mar
riages ho had heard of since the mani
festo was that of his daughter, which took
place In Mexico.
Senator Dubois, asked Mr. Reynolds If
his daughter or her husband had been cut
oft from the church because, of the mar
riage. The witness said that both of them
had been In Mexico and had never been
before the church authorities for trial.
Mr. Reynolds said he was one of the
advisors who aided In perfecting the
Woodruff manifesto.- which was first sub
mitted In President Woodruff's handwriting.
Ho testified that the committee had re
vised the manifesto. .
"I believe the manifesto Is said to have
been Inspired." said Chairman Burroughs.
"It was a revelation from the Almighty."
"And you changed It?"
"Not the meaning."
"You Just changed th phraseology?"
"Yes, sir."
"Then, as I understand it," said Senator
Burrows, "when this revelation came from
the Almighty the grammar was bad and
you corrected It?"
The witness said the phraseology had not
been Inspired; but was President Wood
ruff's own. This testimony kept the com
mittee room in an uproar.
Apostle Cnnnon'a Plural Marrlnare.
John Henry Hamlin of Salt Lake City,
the brother of Lillian Hamlin, who, the
Protestants hnve tried to show was mar
ried to Apostle Abram Cannon on the high
seas in 1806, said It was the family belief
that his sister was married to Mr. Cannon
In the summer of 1896 and that the cere
mony was performed by President Smith
on the Pacific coast. Lillian was said by
her brother to have been an attractive
young woman. He had not heard from her
for four or five year and did not know
where she was now. She had one child
ha said, a daughter, who goes by the name
of Martha Cannon.
"Well, nobody doubts that the child Is
Abram Cannon's . daughter?" asked Mr.
Taylor.
"No, sir," was the reply.
On cross-exnminatlon the witness snld he
had no positive proof that his sister had
married Cannon. His sister had attended
the funeral services of Mr. Cannon snd her
child Inherited the estate of Mr. Cannon.
Mr. Hamlin said he had heard from his
wife that Lillian had been married to Mr.
Cannon and that the ceremony had been
performed on the high seas by the president
of the church. His sister had attended a
normal school In New York after her hus
band's death, but the witness could not say
where she was now. He admitted that he
had kept track of all of his other sisters,
but did not know whether his sister Lillian
was now In Mexico or Canada.
The committee then adjourned until to
morrow. r

PROCEEDINGS OF THE SENATE
Pore Food nnd Ptilllpplne Govern
ment Bills Are Dlaensaed.
WASHINGTON, Dec. 12. The senate had
under consideration today the pure food
and Philippine government bills. Debate
on the former was confined to calling at
tention to the Inadequacy of the protection
accorded the people of the United States
against Impure food and drugs.
The discussion of the Philippines bill re
lated solely to the question of the guaranty
by the Philippine government of the In
come or Interest on bonds in those islands.
Mr. Spoouer of Wisconsin, leading in the
criticism. The suggestion was made by Mr.
Newlands of Nevada that the Philippine
government should construct the syHtem
of railroads proposed. The debate brought
out the first reference in the senate this
session to Judge Parker's attitude on the
Philippine question, caused by Mr. New
lands quoting from certain utterances ol
William J. Bryan and President Roosevelt.
Mr. Foraker Inquired why he had Ignored
Judge Parker and Mr. Newlunds replied
that Mr. Bryan for eight years stood as the
leader of the democratic party.
The senate today passed a Joint resolution
granting temporary occupancy of a part
of a government reservation in Washing
ton, D. C, for the American railway ap
pliance exhibition.
A bill to exclude from the Yosemlte Na
tional park, California, ceitaln lands and
attach them to the Sierra forest reserv
was passed.
Mr. Heyburrv (Idaho) then called up the
pure food bill, which was read.
In explanation of the bill, Mr.- Heyburn
said that it was directed at the evil of
adulteration of foods and drugs. Every
state had enacted a pure food law cover
ing in its general purpose the scope of
the proposed legislation. He declared that
some of the most injurious articles com
ing from foreign countries were manufac
tured In violation of the domestic laws of
those countries, but prosecution was evaded
because the goods were made especially
for American trade. Mr. Heyburn, reply
ing to Mr. Carmack (Tenn.), agreed that
these strictures with reference to Importa
tions should hold as regards goods made
in the United States for e..port.
Mr. Stewart (Nev.) said that to secure
the beBt results sufficient money should be
given the secretary of agriculture to make
a proper investigation and publish the re
sults to the whole world. Private parties,
he said, particularly the press, would not
publish an expos of the frauds In foods
and drugs "because the patronage is on
the other side."
Messrs. Heyburn and McCumber (N. D.)
made an earnest plea for early action on
tho bill, the latter deploring the fact that
In four years the pure food advocates hud
been unable to secure a vote.
At 2 o'clock the Philippines government
bill, which was the unfinished business,
was taken up.
Mr. Spooner (Wis.) attacked the pro
vision In the bill relating to tho guaranty
of lnrome or Interest bonds of railroads in
the Philippines and said the commission
should not be authorized to make such a
guarantee. Replying to Mr. Newlands
(Nev.) that the Philippine government
build the railroads themselves, Mr. Spooner j
said he was not much captivated with the
iaea or government ownership of railroads.
Mr. Dodge declared that tho United
States was not going into the ownership
of railroads and It was not worth while
to consume time in discussing' the propo
sition. At 8:20 o'clock the senate went into
xecutlve session and at 4:10 o'clock ad
journed until tomorrow.
