WASHINGTON. April 20-Wlth the re
opening of the investigation In the Reed
Smoot case, before the" senate committee
on privileges and elections, the prosecu
tion devoted considerable time to drawing
from Brlgham II. Roberts the character
of the oaths which are said to be necessary .
for a Mormon officlsl to take In order to
have th support of the church for politi
cal offices. Members of the committee
showed sn equal Interest In the obliga
tions which are said to be taken by Mor
mons who "go through the Endowment
house." Along both lines much evidence
waa brought out. It was shown by Mr.
Roberts' testimony that without the con
sent of the Mormon church he failed of
election to a seat In congress and later
with church recognition of bis candidacy
he was elected. In relation to the Endow
ment house obligation, Mr. Roberts was
extremely reticent. He said that the sac
redness of the ceremony was such that he
could not reveal It to the world and that
If he did so he would lose caste with the
church as having betrayed a trust.
Portions of the testimony given by Mr.
Roberts, especially In regard to his rea
sons for maintaining polygamous cohabita
tion with his plural wives, was almost a
duplication of the testimony given by other
polygamlstn who have been on the stand.
He Bald he regarded the laws of God as
higher than the laws of the land and that
his moral obligation to his wives was
greater than both the laws of God and
man.
Roberts on Stand.
Mr. Robertl said he was elected to the
position of one of the first seven presidents
In 1888 and entered politics about 1S8. His
interest was maniftsted In making speeches.
but he was not a candidate for office until
im.
He was then elected as a member of
the constitutional convention which met In
1896. He explained his candidacy for con
gress and the opposition that had devel
oped from Mormon sources. He said the
church had opposed the election of high
officials of the church to membership of
the constitutional convention and that he
had accordingly consented not to urge his
candidacy. He was nominated during his
absence and was informed that the order
had been rescinded. He said that Joseph
P. Smith was the member of the first presi
dency who said the ruling had been modi
fied. He explained fully certain criticisms
which had been made of an alleged Influ
ence which the first presidency had brought
to bear against the present aspirations of
himself and Moses Thatcher, because their
attitude Was not In harmony with the
democratic . convention, which adopted a
declaration of principles against the church
Influence.
Mr. Roberts said he protested and later
the church took up his protests. Mr. Rob
erts waa defeated the first time he ran for
congress. He thought the last child was
born three or four years ago.
First Plural Marriage.
In response to questions of Mr. Taylor
Mr. Roberts said his first plural marriage
was performed by D H. Wells, counsel to
the apostles, and the thought th ceremony
waa performed at the home of Mr. Well's
son.
8enator Overman Inquired whether his
first wife and his second wife had con
sented to )ils third wife..
"No. sir," said Mr. Roberts. Continuing,
he said they did not learn of the marriage
for three or four years.
"How was that?" asked Senator Bever
Idge. Do you mean to say that the marri
age was not known to anyone."
"It was known to some of my friends,
but not to my wives," was the answer.
"Why was this marriage concealed from
them.?" asked Chairman Burrows.
"Because, I did not want to embarrass
them."
"How embarrass them?"
"Well, wo knew the marriage was Illegal,
and It' might be embarrassing to them If
they should frr any reason be called on
to testify." .
Mr. Roberts tr.'.S his third wife was the
divorced wife of Dr. Shlpp, and. In regard
to his courtship, he said he always had
met her at the house of mutual friends
and had never called on her at her home.
He also said that she continued to live
In her home, but that he never had called
on her there until she removed to rooms
on Main street. Salt Lake City.
Mr. Taylor aked Mr. Roberts if he knew
that Maggie Shlpp Roberts lived In a house
where lived her divorced husband and two
of his divorced wlfes.
Mr. Roberts said he was not aware of
that fact.
Senator Dubois asked In regard to th
secrecy of his marriage and declared that
he (Dubois) believed Mr. Wells, who mar.
rled him, represented the Mormon authori
ties. The witness believed that, said Sen
ator Dubois, because of Mr. Wells' position
as counsel to the apostles. According to
Mr. Roberts, he said, there Is no record of
his last marriage, though the ceremony Is
"Do you think you ar morally bound
other marriage.
Wells Knew Wife Wns living.
Chairman Burrows desired to know
whether Mr. Wells knew the witness had
a wife living when he married the third
wife.
"He did," sold Mr. Roberts. "He married
me to my second wife."
Mr. Pettua asked If the church ever had
reprimanded him or the high official who
performed the ceremony. Mr. Robert said
nothing had been said to him.
Mr. Taylor asked Mr. Roberts why he
thought It Incumbent upon him to take
plural wives. "From boyhood," replied the
witness, "I had been taught the rightful
ness of plural marriages and I believed this
practlcw to be the law of God. 1 knew
that this practice was contrary to the man
doles of congress, bnt believed that the
law of God was the highest rule snd I felt
Impelled to obey It."
Chairman Burrows asked a number of
pointed questions which brought the con-
fesalon from Mr. Roberts that he still be
lieves In and la practicing polygamy. He
said that he believes the Woodruff mani
festo was divinely inspired snd that in
practicing polygamy he knows he Is dla-
obeying both the laws of the land and the
laws of God. He waa asked why he con
tinued to disobey the laws of God, If he
believed them to be the highest laws, and
with a resigned air he said:
Well, the manifeato left me In the midst
of obligations to these wives. I am trying
to do the beat I can to live within the laws,
but theae obligations I cannot shirk."
The committee adjourned until this after
noon with Dr. Roberts' examination un
finished. At the afternoon session Mr. Taylor
asked concerning Mr. Roberts' conviction
In 1SN9 of the crime of polygamy.
Church Takes No Action.
Senator Bailey objected to the line of
Inquiry In regard to Mr. Roberts' con
viction and Mr. Roberts' service tn the
penitentiary. He said he thought the ad
mission of the witness that he had vio
lated the laws waa sufficient. Mr. Taylor
said this was to determine whether the
authorities of the Mormon church had
taken any action In respect to the witness
living with more than one wife. Mr. Rob
erts said no action had ever been taken
by the church.
Questions were asked respecting Mr.
Roberts' views regarding th manifesto
of lb90 against plural wives and living In
polygamous cohabitation, and the witness
said he regarded the manifesto as an ad
ministrative act of the church and of bind
ing force upon all members. He admitted
to diaobey any of those laws would sub
ject the member to liability to church
discipline. The witness was asked then.
In regard to polygamous cohabitation, and
said that he and many others were living
In polygamy at the time th rule waa
made against such cohabitation, and that
they considered themselves under moral
obligations to live with the wives they
had married. -the
same as that which waa used In his
ta cohabit with all of your wives?" Chair
man Burrows aaked.
"I do."
"How many children have youT"
"Thirteen, living."
"How many not living?"
"Two."
"When was the last .on born?"
"About two or two - and a half years
ago." ,
The witness was then turned ever to the
dcfoi.se and Mr. Van Cott opened the
cross-examination. ' ' , "
Politics In Kah.
Senator Bailey called . attention to the
church rule which forbids an official to
accept an office without1 the consent of the
I church unless he resigns his office In the
church or is "reduced i, to the ranks."
"In the event of such a crisis," said
the witness, "I think 'one would have to
rely on the Individual's patriotism."
"But patriotism and religion in such a
case would be In conflict," said Senator
Bailey. "At one Urn you defied th
church, did you not?"
"1 did."
"And you were defeated."
"Yes."
Senator Bailey asked the witness If It
was not true that the political support
of the Mormon church in Utah waa sought
by political parties the same as th Irish,
German or Italian vote was sought in
other communities.
"And the negro vote," Interrupted Mr.
Worthlngton.
"I believe not," said Mr. Roberts. "There
may be Individuals who trim their sails
that way but not the church."
Chairman Burrows inquired: "If you
were invited to accept a political office
would you feel at liberty to accept their
request without first getting consent from
the church."
"I think not."
Resuming cross-examination and quot
ing from the records of the testimony of
E. B. Crltchlow, Mr. Vancott asked Mr.
Roberts If he 'ever had stated to Mr.
Crltchlow that he had a vision of his
dead ancestors which Induced him to
change his attitude toward th rule per
taining to permission to run for office.
Mr. Roberts said h never had mad such
a 'statement.
The witness said he had been through
the Endowment house, that the Endow
ment house oath or ceremony was now per
formed In the temples.
l(r. Roberts said that th obligations
were secret and he thought them not un
like th oaths of the Masonic order or
other secret societies,
"What would happen If you did reveal
what took place In the temple?" asked the
chairman.
"I would lose caste and be regarded as
betraying a . trust"
"And Senator Smoot could not reveal his
oath of that character?"
The witness nodded his hesd In assent.
Chairman Burrows again asked whst
there wss In ths obligation which makes
It necessary that It be kept from the world.
"Its general sacredness," answered Mr.
Roberts.
"Do you think there Is anything sacred
which ought to be kept from the world?"
"I think there are some things that should
be."
"Can you name one thing In that oath
which should be kept from the world?"
"I cannot state It."
Edward E. Barthell of Nashville, Tenn.,
Identified certain books and documents
which had been sent to him by the Mor
mon propaganda at Chattanooga, Tenn.
He had requested these documents for ths
purpose of preparing a paper on Mormon
Ism, which he was to rend before a Nash
ville club. Before ho left the stand he
related conversations with George E. Fox
of the Mormon church who railed on him
when the papers had been received. This
meeting resulted In Fox being Invited to
attend the sesalnn of the club, and In his
making an address. Chairman Burrows
evinced considerable Interest In the nature
of this address and Mr. Barthell said:
"Well, he told us miracles were easy;
that It waa no trouble, at all to perform
them. If a man had on arm and wanted
another he could get It."
Attorney Worthlngton. for the defense,
who Is compelled to use a cane, observed:
'T would like to meet that man."
Continuing his story, Mr. Barthell ssld
Mr. Fox also told about the order of the
church concerning polygamy, saying that
polygamy Is all right but It has been dis
continued. Though the "cobaba are still
following their cuatom." We did not know
what he meant by "cohabs," and he ex
plained thnt h? referred to those who con
tinued to live with plural wives.
The committee adjourned until tomorrow.

Proper Treatment for Pneumonia.,
Pneumonia is too dangerous a dlseas for
anyone to attempt to doctor himself, al
though he may have the proper remedies at
hand. A physician should always be called.
It should be borne In mind, however, that
pneumonia alwsys results from a cold or
from an attack ot the grip, and by the
proper treatment of these diseases a
threatened attack of pneumonia may be
warded off. There is no question whatever
about this, as during the thirty years and
mora that Chamberlain's Cough Remedy
has been used, we hav yet to learn of a
single case of a cold or attack of the grip
having resulted In pneumonia when this
remedy was used.
