Dpc. 19.-The aenata rommittee on privileges nd .pctloni de veloped nothing wnnatlonal In the 8enator Bmoot Investigation. Interest waa evi denced by members of the committers In Statements by A. C. Nelson, superintendent of public Instruction for I'tuh. concerning the use of school buildings for the teaching of the Mormon religion. Apostle John Henry Smith was on the stand for two hours. Other witnesses were Isaac Rlrd Mll. a Mormon, who said that his daughter was excommunicated because she would not obey a bishop s court which had deprived her of a piece of property to which she had the lawful title, and William Balderson, editor of tha Boise (Idaho) Statesman. wn teatlrted In regard to the political affairs In Me state. Apostle John Henry Smith or the Mormon church wni recalled as the first witness today In the Senator Bmoot Investigation and was cros examined by A. 8. Worthington, counsel for Mr. Bmoot Apostle Smith said he had known A. F. McDonald (who died during tha present year), who was charged by one witness with having performed a plural marriage In Mexico. "It had come to the attention of President Lorenzo Snow that McDonald had been exercising the right to marry or seal persons In plural marringes," said the witness. 'Treeldent Snow In structed me to call McDonald to account. I went to Mexico, but did not learn that any plural marriage hnd been performed. I never have heard of any president of the church authorizing plural marringes since the manifesto." Denial was'mnde by the witness that the Mormon church owned a majority of stock In the Sugar munufucturles of Idaho. He was examined concerning his participation In politics In Idaho and his teaUmony chiefly was In contradiction of the testi mony given by Charles H. Jackson, chair man of the democratlo state committee, who testified Saturday. He emphatically denied that he' had said there had been revelations that a certain political ticket should be supported. Aa to Plaral Marrlnir. Apostle Smith, however, admitted tak i... nart in hrlnaina: about thi repeal of the territorial test oaths which I practically excluded Idaho Mormons from . voting. He Bald he nan maae- pemm-a. speeches In Idaho In 1902, but appealed to the voters as a cltlxen and not as a mem ber of the Mormon church. When Mr. Worthington concluded his cross-examination Senator Dubois asked Apostle Smith if an apostle could take a plural wife now and retain his' standing. "Unless perchance he were handled by the laws of the country." was the re sponse. 1 "You mean that some gentile would have to make complaint?" - "No. sir. If submitted to h! council 1 think it would deai with him. I know I . juld." Pressed for a more deflnlt aDswer, the witness said If the fact or a plural mar riage should be demonstrated in the courts, aa apostle contracting .such a marriag would lose his standing. Aa to Lillian Haaulln. Attorney Taylor, for the protestants, questioned Apostle Smith concerning his knowledge of the alleged marriage of Apostle Abram Cannon and Lillian Ham lin, charged by witnesses to have been per formed by President Joseph Smith on tha high seas, neur Los Angeles, In. 18S6. The witnes said ha went to President Smith and asked him Jf he had performed such a ceremony, and the reply was that ha had not. He admitted that if the president of the church' had wanted to perform a ceremony of that kind he would be at liberty to do so. "But I believed In him absolutely," concluded tho witness. Apostle Smith said ' he had made Inquiry aa to who performed the ceremony, but obtained no information or. the subject. Tha witness said he had serious doubts whether Abraham Cannon had married Lillian Hamlin. "T'-ien what Is the explanation you made ta yourself aa tha status of your brother apostle and Lillian Hamlin?" he was asked. He said he had not concerned himself on tha moral question, as Abraham Cannon was dead. "If you knew President Smith had per formed a plural marriage ceremony yes terday what would you do?" "I would go before a grand Jury and give my testimony." "Then your only Interest would be to see that the guilty person was punished. What about the effect upon the church?" "Tha church would have to take care of Itself." Tha witness aald he would take no action mi- Long AffoLLL the maiden of sunny France trampled the grapes fortheannulwinem&king.

People Rale the Chares. Apostle Smith said there was much con tention between members of the church on the subject of tha legality of plural mar riages until polygamy was prohibited by the church In President Woodruff's mani festo. Chairman Ilurrows drew from the witness some statlKtlrs relating to the church, but no reglcter of the total membership. In regard to colonization, Apoatle Smith said there Is a large settlement in Mexico and that one-third of the population of Idaho and one-fourth of liie population of Wyom ing are Mormons. Other states and terri tories having large settlements were Ne vada, California, Arizona, Colorado and New York, while Iowa has a large settle ment of the Reorganized Church of Latter Day Saints, which drew away from the other church because It did not believe In polygamy. Apostle Smith said the suspension of the practice of polygamy was the result of a revelation and that It would take another revelation to put It Into force. "Then the president of the church might put polygamy In practice by receiving a revelation T" "Not unless the people should receive It. Nothing Is forced on the Mormon people," he replied. Telia of Charrh Trials. Isaac Blrdsall, formerly a Mormon, now living at Elslnore, I'tah, was sworn and was examined concerning a civil trial In a land cape In which ha and his daughter were defendants. The case was heard In the bishop's court of Monroeward, In Utah, where Blrdsall and his daughter were charged with unchrtsttailike . conduct. James E. Leavltt brought the action to obtain possession of sixty acres of land which he Is alleged to have purchased from the Birdcalls, but to which he did not have title. Mr. Blrdsall lost the case and It was decided against him also in the high coun cil, the next higher church court, and ap peal was refused by the office of the first presidency, the highest court, Before an appeal to the flrat presidency was attempted the witness said his daugh ter was given notice to carry out the ver dict of the church courts or the first pres idency would take action by cutting her off from the church. Records in the rase were Introduced showing that Cora Blrdsall, the daughter, was excommunicated In June, 1903. Mr. Blrdsall said that the decision so wore on his daughter that she neither ate nor slept nor drank and appeared to lose her mind. Her condition was brought to the attention of the president of the stake and her parents were told their daughter would be tormented and led by evil spirits until she had complied with the decision of the church In regard to the land. In which event rebaptlsm was promised her. Later she was rebaptlned In the church and then made the deed, conveying the land to Leavltt. The witness said h.m daughter sent word to him by her mother that she had been forced to deed away tha property in question. At the afternoon session Mr. Blrdsall was cross-examined. He said he severed his connection with the Mormon church at the time his daughter was offered baptism u she would convey her property to Leavftt, but could not give the date. . . , William Budge of Paris, Idaho, was re called by counsel for Mr. Smoot. He said that as a bishop of the Mormon church he never entertained a case Involving the title of land, for the reason that presidents of the church hnve given Instructions that bishops and presidents of the states should not hear such cases. Apostle Smith was recalled and ques tioned by Chairman Burrows concerning the Immigration from foreign countries. He had testified that from one-third to one half of the converts to the church had come from Europe. The emigrants, he said, are usually placed In charge of an experienced man and brought over on steamships with which the foreign missionaries do business. There are about four sailings a year he said. To Mr. Tayler he said he was pres ent at the meeting at which Mr. Penrose was elected an apostle.' The fact that Mr. Penrose was a polygamlst was not men tioned or thought of, and he added: "That question does not enter Into the election. It Is nettled In our country that the people must obey the laws of the land." "Do you?" said Mr. Tayler. "Well, I try to." "But you have not succeeded very well?" asked Chairman Burrows. Political Conditions In Idaho. "Well, not so far." Apostle Smith was then discharged and William Balderson, editor of the Boise (Ida.) Statesman and formerly connected with the Salt Lake Times, testified in re gard to the political conditions In Utah about the time of the issuance of the Woodruff manifesto nnd in Idaho after 1891. Asked concerning the passage of a resolution calling a constitutional con vention, which was believed by Gentile? to be for the purpose of repealing the Idaho test oath, ho said during the session of the legislature Apostle Smith asked lilni if he thought the time had come when an amend-nent could be made to the constitu tion to eliminate that portion so distaste ful to his people. t ' ,ut. Shortly afterward the resolution passed both houe ana senate without comment. The wltnefe auld that pulygamlttts living In Idaho have Increased, despite the fact that there have been few plural mar riages within the state. He said that up to the late campaign, both .political parties In Idaho were disposed to go to 6alt Lake to "get a straight tip" as to which would get the Mormon support. Mr. Tayler a.Hked If they got this tip and received the re sponse: "Yes, but they never knew whether It was straight." It was brought out by Mr. Taylor that the Idaho attorney general Is reputed to have taken a plural wife within the last two or three years. Mormon Hrllglon In Schools. A. C. Nelson of Salt Lake, stata super intendent of public Instruction and a Mor mon, was sworn.. He la now making an Investigation ol tha extent in which re ligion classes are maintained In the school?. Answers have been received, be said, from all county superintendents except three. Classes are held In about 300 buildings. These classes are amembled after the ad journment of he regular school day, which varies from 2:30 to C p. m. Mr. Nelson read a letter which' be had sent to all school eupeiintendenta calling attention to a state statute prohibiting sectarian teach ings in the public schools. So far as he had information, Mr. Nelson said tha school teachers usually taught the religious classes. On cross-examination Mr. Nelson was asked If Senator Smoot had been pres ent when matters relating to any of the religious classes had been mentioned. 'Well," answered the witness, "I re memlier meeting Senator Suioot and telling him I was about to begin my investigation and that I believed the us of school build ings for religious purposes was contrary to law." "Is that intended to be Senator Smoot's' answer on tha witness stand V asked Mr. Taylor. "It Is wen enough In an investigation of w hich he Is the subject to tisve Bbnato.- Smoot's.name mentioned at least onos a week," responded VI r. Worthington.

He is a graduate of the academic depart ment, but is now taking his first year In the law school. The board devoted most of its time to a disucsslon of the schedule. Negotiations are in progress with both Minnesota and Michigan, and it Is strongly probable that the Cornhuskers will play both of these teams next year, nlthough no definite announcement Is expected until after the holidays. Several members of the board stated that they had been approached individually and sounded on the subject of resuming rela tions with Kansas university. The de 1 slon was that Nebraska would not give consideration to any proposition etnunatlns from Kansas until It wa officially pre sented by the Juyhawkcr board. Nebraska's position.

O. Fears of the dlstr.ct court addressed the social science department of the Woman's club yesterday afternoon on the property rights law of Nebraska as It affects women, some of Its injustices and si-me of the changes desirable. Unfortu nately, he was not provided with a copy of the present law and so could dl-cu'S Its limitations In only a general way. He em phasized the Injustice that results in thp 1 widow through the provision that gives her only the life use of one-third of the real estate in case the husband dies with I out a will and there are children. He ex ' pressed It as his opinion, based upon his expert nee. that where a man and wife had started out with nothing their Joint ao . cumulation was as much the result of the j wife's ability to save as to the husband's ; ability to acquire and as she Is equally re j sponsible for the accumulation she should oe anoweo; to control it In case of the hus band's death. He said further: "The chief reason for the opposition to granting further rights to women Is that the men. generally are Ignor ant of the law as It Is and so of the In justice It works. If the members of th legislature knew more about It and thor oughly understood what It wanted, I think there would be little trouble In pass ing the new bill. The Injustice of the pres ent law meets the minds of nine out of ten men when It Is once explained to them It Is only when a matter like this comes home to a person that he really gives It proper coni-lderatlon as a rule and I foun l not a single member of the last legl.li ture that I talked to but said that If he were disposing of his property by will he would give his wife much more than th law gives her If he dies without a wil1." As the new bill to be presented to the leg islature this winter 1s not yet finished, there could tie no discussion of It, but th general club has postponed the program for its meeting of January 9 and at that time Hon. D. L. Johnson, who is preparing It, will present it to the club. There was also some discussion of the new Juvenile court law, and Judge Louis Berka and several members-elect of tho legislature discus-ed it. A letter to the chairman of the department from Judge Ben Llndsey of the Juvenile court of Den ver expressed willingness to stop In Omaha about January 8 or 19 while enroute to and from Chicago. It was announced that It was thought advisable to have Judge Llnd sey address the members of the legisla ture on the bill to be presented to them If that can be arranged, and It Is thought that it can be, or to confer with the com mittee to which it may be rendered. Judge Berka favored that plan, saying that thtr. was more need of an explanation before those who are unfamiliar with the system than there Is in Omaha, as practically all of Douglas county recognizes Its necessity. Representative-elect Nelson said that he thought that the unconstitutionality of such a law could be gotten around this year and the system put Into practical operation. It was announced by a member of the department that a letter hnd been received from Mrs. Florence Kelley, secretary ot tho Consumers' league, expressing a desire to stop in Omaha and speak on the work of the league some time in the spring, when she Intended to pass through Omaha. Tho following tbnely remarks on women speaking In public by Miss Louisa B. Pop penheim, corresponding secretary of the General Federation oT Women's Clubs, ap pear In a recept (edition of the Keystone. Each year, as women's conventions grow more, frequent and the attendance grows larger, one is impressed with the necessity for women generally to train themselves In clear and distinct speaking. If they would be heard In these assemblies, for the finest rhetoric or the strongest logic Is lost on an audience that does not hear the speaker. Too often women are careless In their enun ciation, nnd while one does not wish elo cutionary effects In a meeting one should certainly expect clear, distinct tones from those addressing an assembly. We need not fear being led off away from the time honored low sweet voice" for clearness and distinctness of speech need never inter fere with the sweetness and charm of a r 'Tii . ?uli. womc'n speak in large as semblies let them learn to speak so that nil who should hear them can enjoy that op portunity without effort and with a certain degree of pleasure. ORDINANCE STAYS IN EFFECT Antl-Srnlplna Measure is Not Wiped Off Htatate Books of the City. Efforts of the ticket brokers to have the onllnarce adopted last summer prohibit ing dealing In non-transferable, Blgnrd, contract tickets sold at reduced rates, re pealed, failed before the council sitting as n general committee yesterday afternoon. The repealing ordinance was ordered placed on file. Commissioner McVann of the Commercial club said that body was agalnsc the repeal because it would Injur the business in terests. He asserted that without the ordi nance nt present in effect the railways will not give the city concessions In the way of merchant' rates and stop-over privileges, whereas Kansas City and St. Joseph would get the concessions because they have the ordinance among their laws. Attorneys Kelby and Sheean and J. N.
