SENATE TOPICS COVER WIDE RASGE
Naval Appropriation, Battleships, War
and Philippines Are Dlsoasaed.
WASHINGTON, March 8-For almost
four hours today the senate, while technic
ally engaged on the naval appropriation
bill, discussed a wide range of subjects,
Including the policy of the United States in
the Fhlllpplne Islands and the Russo-Japanese
war. The prlgclpal participants were
Messrs. Hale, Bacon, Lodge, Depew, Pat
terson, Perkins and Money. Mr. Hale, In
charge of the naval bill, criticised the
plana of the naval board as tending to an
establishment beyond the needs of the
country.
Mr. Lodge, Mr. Depew and Mr. Perkins
defended the naval officers. Mr. Lodge de
clared a large navy essential to the main
tenance of peace. Mr. Money said he did
hot consider the total appropriation, $97,
000,000, carried by the bill as excessive
under our present policy In the Orient,
He, however, criticised that policy, aa did
other democratic speakers.
Mr. Hale explained the bill. He classed
Great Britain first, France second and the
United States third In naval strength, say
lng the popular Impression that 'Germany
outranked this country was fallacious. Mr.
Hale acceded to a proposition by Mr. Per
kins that In effectiveness of appliances the
United States stood next to Great Britain.
This was due to the fact that we had been
able to take advantage of the mistakes of
European powers.
Mr. Hale said that Japan was the small
est of the naval powers, with the exception
of Austria, but had an advantage In being
only a few hundred miles from the farthest
naval operations in which It might become
Involved.
"In our navy," said Mr. Hale, "there Is
talk of putting many of our vessels, such
as the Oregon, Indiana and others 'Of the
same class, on the retired list."
"I hope they won't retire the Oregon,"
said Mr. Stewart.
"Well, they ought not to," said Mr. Hale
"But it has not the stateroom facilities
that meet the fancy of naval officers. It
has the same number of thlrteen-inch guns
and the same fighting capacity. Nothing
suits many officers except the largest bat
tleshlpa"
Mr. Hale said he had no censure for the
officers of the American navy, "but the
naval officer Is the naval officer pure and
Imple and the American navy bounds his
complete horlson.
The naval board program contemplated
forty-eight battleships and twenty-four ar
mored cruisers and when that stage was
reached an appropriation of $200,000,000 a
year would be necessary for the navy. He
thought it probable that the appropriation
required next year would be 5)20,000,000. If.
however, the scale should be kept down to
the present rate of :rJcreaso the appropria
tion would be Increased. "Wo should," ho
said, "get aiorSx with $100,000,000 a year."
Mr. Perkins defended the officers of the
navy, saying they were entitled to great
credit
Mr. Hale admitted that the American of
ficer was a man of merit. "I want a power
ful navy. It is necessary on account of the
conditions; but there Is danger of going
further than necessary."
Mr. Money spoke of the prowess of the
Japanese and quoted a high authority as
predicting that in a few months the Rus
sian fleet would be overcome; then would
soon follow the success of the Japanese on
land. They would secure Corea and prob
ably a part of Manchuria. Next they would
go to tho Philippines. It was not the Eu
ropean nations that ws were to fear In ths
Orient
At the suggestion of Mr. Hale an appro
priation of $400,000 for the reconstruction of
the frigate Constitution was Inserted. The
senate at 6:09 p. m. went Into executive
session and at 6:16 adjourned.

lations?" Mr. Taylor asked.
Committee lias Encash.
Mr. Smith faced Mr. Taylor and In a low
but penetrating voice said: "I don't like
to be Impertinent, but I should like you to
ask any woman who Is a wife " at that
point Mr. Foraker and Mr. Bevertdge ob
jected, and In discussing the questions both
expressed the opinion that the witness had
stated fully that he had violated the laws
and that he had been frank in regard to his
reasons, snd finally that the committee was
advised on that subject. Mr. Foraker aald
that after such a statement as had been
made by Mr. Smith It was unnecessary to
ask the witness concerning his opinions on
the subject of good morals.
Mr. Hoar moved that such Questions be
not allowed at this time, but If at a future
time it was found that Mr. Smith's state
ment was not full and complete the com
mittee might question him.
Mr. Dubois then asked Mr. Smith If It
was not understood by those In authority
that It was the duty of the polygamlst to
contlt ue to provide for , and support his
plural family after the manifesto of 1890.
Mr. Smith answered that It waa "gen-
so while I myself was practicing the sys
tem." Mr. Smith was asked about other apostles.
"Mr. Cowley Is." he said, "a reputed polyg
amlst. Roger Clauson IS no!."
He was especially questioned concerning
F. M Lyman, president of the apostles and
In the line of euccrsslon to himself. Mr.
Smith said that Mr. Lyman hflng present
should answer for himself, but the commft
tee Insisted and he repllttl that Mr. Lyman
was reputed to have two wives.
"Have any of these men tnken plural
wives since the manifesto of 1S107" asked
Senator Beverltlge.
"I repeat," said Mr. Smith, bringing his
hand down on the table with some em-
Ungulsh between the two. He would have
to obey or resign his apontleshlp.
Mr. Taylor asked Mr. Smith where his
property would go in case of his death.
"My property would go to my heirs,"
said he, "and the property which I hold In
trust for the church would go to my suc
cessor." He was asked concerning the manage
ment of the Decerct News and said there
was no more Independent newspaper In
Utah, and that It waa not governed by the
church.
"Who Is the editor?" he was asked.
"Charles V. Penrose," answered Mr.
Smith.
In answer to other questions, Mr. Smith
man has entered Into plural marrlnfre with
the knowledge or approval of the church."
He was asked by Mr. Taylor about Marlon
Booles TessdaJe, deceased, who. It was
stated, had never met Mrs. Teasdale until
18M.
Mr. Smith renlled that he had .never
known the woman, but that he had under
stood that Mr. Tensdale had not known
when he married her that he had another
wife;
"When your deacons are snt out and
make converts in other lands, do they not
present the rightfulness P polygamy as a
religious virtue?" .
Do Not Prearh Folyaamy.
This Question waa put by Senator Hoar
and was answered in the negative. "They
never discuss polygamy," Mr. Smith said,
"unless compelled y do so to meet at
tacks. They do not advocate polygamy In
any way. Tndeed. the elders are Instructed
to not advocate plural marriages at all. It
Is a thing of the past."
Mr. Taylor then Inquired concerning In
structions given to missionaries as to the
first teaching of polygamy. Mr. Smith snld
tho book called "Ready References" Is
used by missionaries. This book, he said.

that practice to be divine. He said the

Taylor asked:
"How many children have you had since
the menlfesto of 1890?"
Mr. Worthlngton objected on the part of
the defense and both Senators Beverldge
and Foraker again said that they thought
that as the witness had said his wives had
borne him children since the manifesto It
made no difference how many aueh chil
dren had been bom to him.
"I contend that it does make a differ
ence." aald Mr. Taylor. "It makes a dif
ference how well ,the. fact was advertised
that he waa violating ths law. It makes a
difference whether it was two or twenty

upon others In the church.
rtas Five Wives.
Mr. Burrows asked Mr. Smith If tu had
married any wives between the first and
the last that he had mentioned during his
statement to the committee.
"I have," said Mr. Smith.
"How many?"
"Three."
"Then you have five wives now?" aald
Mr. Burrows.
"That Is correct," was the response.
Mr. Burrows ruled that the question ob
jected to was in order and directed the
stenographer to read the question.
"How many children have you had since
tip manifesto of 18n0?" was read.
Jleven since 1890," said Mr. Smith.
Continuing, he said: "Each of my five
wives have borne me children,"
"Since that time?" asked Mr. Burrows.
"Since that time," the witness repeated
In answer.
"I rather think," he added, "that one of
them has had three children; I could tell
you a little later."
He said In reply to Mr. Taylor that he
had attended the dedication exercises at
the St. Louis exposition and had been ac
companied by a plural wife, Edna Smith
by name.
Senator Smoot had been with them on
that occasion when they had been photo
rraphed In a group.
In reply to a question by Senator Smoot,
he aald: "Each of my families has a home
of Its own In Salt Lake City, and com
paratively near to each other. Since the
manifesto my custom has been to live with
my first wife at her home, but I have
lslted my other families."
He also said, replying to Mr. Taylor,
that he had been present at the reception
to the president at Senator Kearns resi
dence in Salt Lake City and that he has
had one of his plural wives with with him,
but that she was not the one whom he
took to St Louis.
My attitude towards my wives was one
of general knowledge," he said. Senator
Smoot' s counsel objected, however, to the
assumption that Senator - Smoot knew all
the circumstances connected with Smith's
wives. "We prefer to put Senator Smoot
on the stand and let him tell what he
known," remarked Mr. Van Cott.
Being asked whether he had taken the
test oath In 1896, before voting, Mr. Smith
hesitated, and his counsel asked that ha
be confronted with the oath. The ques
tion was temporarily withdrawn.
Hot on moot's Advice.
Senator Overman "Did Senator Smoot
ever advise you to persist in your polyga
mous cohabitation?"
Mr. Smith "I think not. I have never,
so far aa I remember, discussed my pri
vate affairs with him."
"Are tb- apostles your advisers?"
"I recelw advice from all good men, but
no more from them than other elders of
the church."
"Did they ever advise you to desist from
the practice?"
"Not that I know of."
"Has Mr. Smoot visited you at your rest
dence?"
He has been to my first wife's house.
where I make what may bs called my offi
cial residence."
When asked about Charles Teasdale, one
of the twelve apostles, Mr. Smith said he
knew nothing of his present domestic re
lations. He thought, however, that until
two or three years ago, Mr. Teasdale had
had two wives. Mr. Smith also was asked
about Apostle John W. Taylor and he aald
"He Is reputed to be a polygamlst. I could
not say of my own knowledge."
"Have you the slightest doubt of it?"
"I haven't much doubt of It."
Asked where Mr. Taylor now Is, Mr.
Smith said be did not know; that some
weeks since Taylor had boen sent to in
vestlgats a tract of land offered the Mor
mona and he had not heard from him
since. He had been in Mr. Taylor's home
In Salt Lake City only once.
"Could an apostle be a polygamlst with
out your knowledge?" asked Senator Du
bola.
"No, sir, not unless he violated the rul
of the church and I don't think any of
them would do that."
"Then why say 'I think' and 'I sup
pose' ?"
"Because," replied the witness, "I never
saw any of them married to any woman.'
Mr. Smith said that AVoatles Merrill and
Heber J. Grant are reputed to be polyga-
mists; he had seen two women who were
pointed out as Mr. Grant's wlvea Mr

"John Henry Smith is," the witness also
said, "the husband of two wlvea. He Is a
kinsman of mine," he said, "and I know
positively about him."
"Did you ever advise hira to desist from
the polygamous practice?
"I mm did, I oould not ooamUtgnUy do
phnsls. "that since the manifesto of 1890 no admitted that Mr. Penrose Is a polygamlst
In answer to questions concerning reve
lations, Mr. Smith reiterated former state
ments that such revelations were acorpted
or rejected at will; that there Is no restraint
upon any memlier except his or her volun
tary wish. He said he should not always
obey the revelations from God. "One oun
oboy or disobey with Impunity," he added.
"Then that Is the kind of God you be
lieve In," said Mr. Taylor.
"Tes; that Is tho kind of a God I be
lieve in," declared Mr. Smith with em
phasis. A nil's of the church was quoted In re
gard to the release from duties of certain
members of the apostles or others In high
positions in order to perform other duties,
and Mr. Taylor asked: "Was it necessary
for Mr. Smoot to get consent to run for
senator?"
"He had to get the consent of his asso
ciate apostles and the first presidency,"
said Mr. Smith, "In order to go before the
legislature. He obtained that consent."
Itelraae Irom Charrh Dntles.
When asked if any one else was given
consent to run for o31ce Mr. Smith aald no
one had asked (or, such consent.
An effort was made to show that Mr.
Smoot could not act of his own will, but
Mr. Smith declared that the consent
amounted to nothing more than a release
from his duties In the church in case he
was elected,
Senator Hoar asked if Mr. Cannon waa
given consent to come to congress and Mr.
Smith answered that Mr. Cannon had never
been an official of the church and there
fore did not require consent.
Mr. Smith said if Mr. Smoot had per
sisted In running for office without the
consent of his associates he would not
have lost his official position, but would
have been out of harmony with "the
twelve."
The Moses Thatcher incident was taken
up and Mr. Smith sold he had remained for
many years an apostle In the church,
though not In harmony with his associate.
He remained In that position until finally
removed by the apostles.
When asked the reasons for the differ
ences of opinion between Mr. Thatcher and
the other apostles Mr. Smith said there
were various causes.
"Waa it because he desired to become a
candidate for United States senator?"
"For United States senator or something
of that kind," answered the witness.
Mr. Taylor asked concerning Janes Tan
ner, formerly president of the Agricul
tural college of Utah, who. It was stated
resigned his position for the reason that the
United States threatened to withdraw Its
support on the ground that the head of the
school was a polygamlst. Mr. Smith said
Mr. Tanner was a polygamlst.
The recent controversy at Brlgham City
over musicians was declared by Mr.- Smith
to have been "a tempest In a teapot and
only a newspaper furore" to connect the
church with a matter In which It was not
interested officially.
Mr. Smith, In answer to questions by
Chairman Burrows, declared that he had
performed no polygamous marriages aince
18OT anywhere on earth. Mr. Burrows
aaked if any of the apostllea had per
formed auch a service and Mr. Smith said
if they had they would have been fined and
imprisoned If found guilty and If the charge
could be proved the offender would be
excommunicated.
Sonator Hoar made another request for
books which have been described by Mr,
Smith as the standards of authority, say
ing that they would be needed In consid
ering th$ case. "But," Interposed Senator
Dillingham, "I suppose we can furnish our
own Bibles?"
Mr. Smith volunteered to supply all the
Volumes himself, even the Bibles, If the
committee desired to have loplee of that
book. '
Mr. Taylor devoted considerable atten
tion to a discussion of the Mormon mar
riage ceremonies. It was brought out that
all high officials of the church and all of
the elders are authorized to marry persons
and that such marriages are registered in
accordance with the state laws in that
question.
The celestial marriage, or the marriage
for eternity, Mr. Smith said, was one of
the things the Mormon church believed In,
but the practice had been in disuse for
twenty years or more. This marriage was
described as one to carry two persona
through heaVen In happiness and that
often that was performed when one party
was dead and some times when both par
ties were dead. In that event the relatives
of the . contracting parties represented
them. When questioned closely Mr. Smith
admitted that a man and woman, both
living, were sometimes married for "etern
ity." Mr. Taylor concluded with Mr. Smith
and the defense will examine the witness
tomorrow.
knowledge of recent publications. The
marginal note on polygamy was given as
"Polygamy Is right In the sight of God."
Mr. Smith added, however, that the use
of this book Is almost entirely abandoned
by tho Mormon elders doing mlarlonary
work. The standard works of the church,
he said, were the books taken with them.
In reply to questions from Chairman Bur
rows Mr. Smith said he did not know
whether or not the missionaries took with
them copies of the manifesto of 1890 sus
pending polygamy In the church.
Mr. Taylor asked Smith how many wives
he had In 1890. "Five," said Mr. Smith.
He was questioned In regard to a wife
named Itvtra. who was divorced fom him
and died many years before 1890.
Mr. Smith protested that the questions
wero very embarrassing and trying to
him. "I dislike." he said, "to announce
my private and personal affairs. I do

required to do so before this honorable
committee. This matter Is going before
the publlo and I do not want It to ap
pear that I am a 'spotter' or an 'In
former.' " He added: "If there Is any
thing I despise It is an Infamous 'spotter'
and 'Informer.' "
Mr. Worthing objected, but no attention
waa paid to the protests, though Mr. Tay
lor nntcid tho questions objected to. He
asked, however. If Mr. Smith had not
claimed in 1896 or 1897 that his wife.
Levlra. waa not divorced, and whether he
did not claim a part of her estate for
that reason. ,
Mr. Smith declined to answer the ques
tion In regard to the property, hut denied
that he had aald she was not divorced.
Mr. Taylor asked concerning Brlgham H.
Roberts' position as' first president of the
seventy" and asked if Roberts was not
elected to that Hi" position after he
was elected to congress. Mr. Smith said
he could not remember.,
No Objection to Roberta.
In answer to questions by Senator Du
bois the witness said Mr. Roberts was
elected by the "seventy" and he had no
knowledge that any objection had been
made to his retention In that high posi
tion.
Continuing, he said: "I could not con
sistently object to Mr. Roberts myself and
know of no one who could have done
so better than myself."
"Then you place all of the 'aeventy' In
the same category with yourself?" said
Senator Dubola
Tea I auppose so," said Mr. Smith.
Do you mean that because all members
pf the 'seventy' are polygamlsta they could
not object to Mr. Roberts?" asked Senator
Foraker.
"No, not at all." said Mr. Smith.'
"You say that when you place yourself
In the same category aa 'the seventy,' "
said Mr. Foraker.
That was Senator Dubola' word, not
mine," aald Mr. Smith.
"When you answered you adopted the
word," responded Senator Foraker.
Senator Dubois went over the ground
gain and brought out the fact that ob
jection had not been made to Mr. Roberts'
continuing In office after it had been proved
he was a polygamlst.
Inquiry having been made by several
members of the committee aa to what Mr.
Taylor expected to prove by certain ques
tions, the latter said: "I expect to prove
that Mr. Smoot could not by any possibil
ity put himself up against his associates in
his actions."
"Not even in his vote as a United States
senator?" asked Mr. Beverldge.
Not even in his, vote as a senator," re
sponded Mr. Taylor.
Boand by the Church.
Mr. Taylor said Mr. Smoot would be
bound to follow the direction of the church,
not only In spiritual affairs, but also in
temporal things, because under the defini
