Distmiiog Accidtnt.
YOUNG WOMAN'S HAIR TORN FROM HEAD
V offerer Kihlblta Wonderful Forti

Her Scaln sad Hair
(or Hr.
Miss Lillian Sullivan, living at US North
Nineteenth street, met with a moat dis
tressing acldent yesterday afternoon about
J 80 at the wholesale grocery of the Mc-Cord-Brady
company. Her scalp waa
completely torn from her head, beginning
at a point Just above the eyes and taking
off the whole covering of the head clear
around over the eara and to the nape of
the neck.
The mutilation Is one of the most com
plete and one of the most horrifying of
the kind In the annaU of surgery, say the
physicians who atended Miss Sullivan. And '
yet so great la the nerve and atamnla of
th victim,' a young woman of IS, that
shS did not faint, or collapse In the slight
est degree. Bhr was fully conscious, the
doctors say, 'of what happened to her, and
to Dr. Stuart MacDlarmld, who was at
once calif d,' she conversed with ns much
composure as any of those about her. In
fact. Miss Sullivan waa less excited than
the onlooker who saw her fearful plight,
for the aight of the girl' mutilated head
nearly overcame several of the men who
went to her assistance. ,
Hair raairht by Shaft.
Miss Sullivan Is forewoman In the dried
fruit cleaning department of the McCord
Brady company and yesterday afiernoon at
the time of the accident. In pursuit of her
duty ahe was placing a box of packed
fruit on a shelf above the work bench In
tier room. Over thia bench runs a line of
haftlng from which belts are suspended
to drive small to drive small machines
managed by the girls who clean and pack
the fruit. While reaching up to place the
box on the ahelf the spinning steel rod
caught a looae whisp of Miss Sullivan's
hair, which was extra long .and very lux
uriant. -Immediately the front portion of
her hair, dressed high loj the prevailing
pompadour fashlo '
pompadour style, waa dragged around the
haft, and almost before she could sound
a not of alarm tho beautiful head of hair
and the scalp to which It waa attached
were dangling from the awlftly whirling
haftlng:
Several of the young women working
with her ran to Miss Sullivan's assistance
ai did the men In the room. She did not
faint or fall, however, but patiently en
dured the pain of her great hurt until Dr.
MacDlarmld arrived. He was closely fol
lowed by Dr E. C. Henry, who had also
bean summoned, and the two physlolans at
Santa Claws can find the
dressing gown or house coat
here that will please the
boy or girl sure enough.

once applied temporary bandages and lo
tions to the wound, and even while the
wound was being cleansed and she was
being prepared for the anaesthetics which
the doctors felt It necessary to admin
ister the brave woman did not give way
or utter a whimper. She bore her grt
agony with even more heroism than
women hhave always displayed under fear
ful circumstances.
Mar Save the Scalp.
Afttr the sufferer had been placed under
the Influence of an anaesthetic the doctors
found It necessar yto take upward of sixty
stitches In replacing the torn scalp back
on her head. They cherish the hone that
because of the patient's superb hyslcal
condition and the quick action had In put
ting the scalp back In place. It will unite
and make a complete cure. In cane It
does not do so Dr. MacDlarmld expressel
the opinion that skin grafting will have to
be resorted to and a njw scalp built up
In that way. The skin grafting process
is a slow and tedious one, and In a recent
case mentioned by the doctor a woman
who suffered a scalping almost as severe
as Miss Sullivan's and In much the same
manner was confined to St. Joseph's hos
pital for longer than a year.
Immediately on being Informed of the
accident to Miss Sullivan Mr. Hal McCord
enjoined on the physicians and the hos
pital attendants to spare no expense In
treating the case, and to secure every ap
pliance or remedy known to medical sci
ence for her benefit. The Injured Voman
has been In the employ of the McCord
Brady company for several years and I
very hlghl esteemed by them. In her ca
pacity as forewoman, too, she has teen

WASHINGTON, Dec. 20.-The Senator
Reed Smoot Investigation today reached
that period where counsel for the protes
tants have concluded the examination of all
persons who could be reached by the sub
poenas issued by .the senate commission.
Attorney Taylor announced that he was
ready to rest his case, except for the Intro
duction of documentary evidence and possi
bly the examination later of some person
on whom It has been Impossible to get serv
ice. The case of the respondent will be
opened January 10, to which date the hear
ings have been adjourned.
Just before adjournment of the committee
opposing counsel engaged In a controversy
over the admissibility of certain reference
works as evidence of the doctrines of the
Mormon faith. No agreement could be
reached and after heated arguments Mr.
Tsyler recalled Apostle Penrose to Identify
certain reference books. In a number of
Instances Mr. Penrose denied that the
works had been accepted by the church as
authoritative publications and said many of
the matters contained In the documents
were subject to dispute. Chairman Bur
rows ruled that the utterances of leaders
of the church may be offered as tending to
prove doctrines of the church organisation.
The principal witness on the stand was
Charles M. Owen, who has been employed
In gathering data to be used against the
Mormon church In the Smoot Inquiry. He
testified In regard to the bringing of action
against prominent church officials and as
to the attitude of courts and prosecuting
attorney In such cases. He declared that
such prosecutions are unavailing, as when
convictions were obtained small fines were
Imposed and In most cases, these were paid
by popular subscription.
Apostle Smith on Stand.
Attorneys for tho protestnnts today In
tended to conclude the examination of
all the witnesses that they have been
able to reach with subpoenas and In
all probability will rest their case.
Summonses have been issued by the senate
committee on privileges and elections for
a number of Mormon officials wanted by
Attorney Taylor, but the senate officers
have not succeeded In getting service on
them. Among the more prominent of these
are Apostle Taylor, Merrill, Grant and
Cowley, who are charged by the protestants
with taking plural wives since the Wood
ruff manifesto.
Apostle John Henry Smith was the first
wltnees called. Mr. Taylor asked: "Is the
taking of the endowment a necessary
prerequisite to a marriage In a temple?"
"In the main, yes; I should answer both
yes and no to that question."
"Could Senator Smoot be elected an
apostle without making the endowment?"
"He could have been, yes, sir."
"Could he have been married to his wife
for time and eternity without taking the
endowments?" j
"He could have been, yes, sir."
As to Smoot aad Oath.
"Do such marriages occur now?"
"I presume not."
"Then th Inference we are to draw
from your testimony," said Mr. Taylor,
"Is that you have no knowledge Mr. Smoot
look the endowment or not?"
"No, sir, I do not know. Of course I
have my own belief," said Apostle Smith.
"And your belief Is that he did take the
endowment?"
"Yes, sir."
"And It would have made no difference
to you in voting for him for an apostle
whether he had taken the endowments or
not?" asked Mr. Taylor.
"Knowing Senator Smoot as I do, no,
sir," replied the witness.
Then, In response to questions by Chair
man Burrows, Apostle Smith said he had
no knowledge of any apostle who has not
taken the endowments, nor had he any
positive Information to the contrary.
B. B. Heywood, United States marshal
for Utah, who received subpoenas from
the sergeant-at-arms of the senate for wit
nesses wanted by the committee, was
sworn and testified that be had subpoenas
for fourteen or more persons that he had
not been able to find. He gave the list,
which Included Apostles Heber J. Grant,
reputed to be In Liverpool, Eng.; John W.
Taylor and Cowley, neither of whom he
could find. Taylor was said to have born
absent a year and Cowley was said to
have been In Canada, but no information
could be learned concerning him. Others
who could not be found were Lillian Ham
lin, alleged to havo been a plural wife of
the late Apostle Abram Cannon; Wlnslow
and Sarah Parr, Mary Brlnhurert, Ella C.
Btoffison, Thomas C. Chamberlain, Mary
Danes, J. M Tanner, Charlotte Robury
and Nell C. Brown. AH of these persons
were, said the witness, reputed to be
polygamlsts. Apostle Merrill was found,
but was unable to appear here on ac
count of illness.
Objects to Form of Qarstlon.
During the examination of the United
States marshal. Attorney Worthlngton ob
jected to the character of Mr. Taylor's ex
amination on the ground that it was
leading.
"I have not objected heretofore," said
Mr. Worthlngton, "but there has been a
persistent effort here to throw smut on
Senator Smoot, because some person has
tried to evade service. Surely the counsel
ought to come closer to proper examina
tion." He charged Mr. Taylor with asking
questions that he would not attempt in a
court of law. Chairman Burrows replied
that this case Is not a trial, but an Inquiry
and the committee would follow every trail
In order to get at the truth of the condi
tions; that the names of persons reputed to
have knowledge on the subject should be
brought out In order that they may be
summoned as witnesses.
Marshal Heywood, In narritlvt form, told
of his efforts to find the persons for whom
he had subpoenas. One deputy made a
drive of 120 miles and reported to the mar
shnl that he had been followed and his
movements watched by a young man, who
claimed he was soliciting subscriptions for
magazines.
Marshal Heywood testified that polyga
mous msrrlages were numerous up to the
time of the Edmunds-Tucker act In W),
and on cross-examination said practically
no effort had beer made to put a stop to
these marriages.
Plaral Wife Teatiaes.
Mra Pannl C. Thurber, a plural wife of
Joseph Thurber, was sworn. She said she
has four children and that ber husband's
first wife has eight. Both wives live In
Richfield, but In houses one block apart.
The youngest child of th witness Is 2 years
I months old.
Charles M. Owen, who has been associ
ated with Mr. Taylor in accumulating evi
dence In th Mormon investigation, was
sworn. He said he became Interested In
th question In January. 1&K0, by receiving
an offer from a New York paper to look
after Its Interests In the anti-Roberts cam
paign th paper wa conducting. Later
he wit retained by the Women' Inter,
denominational society of New York, and
later by tlis protestants against Senator
Smoot retaining his seat. Mr. Owen tes
tified that he had the closest Information
possible about polygamy In Utah and never
accepted any one man's word about
polygamous marriages. He said that
Apostle Taylor Is reputed to have
taken two wives within two or three year
and that Apostle Cowley ha taken a new
wife within three years. Taylor now has
five wives, said the witness.
"Where are Apoetles Cowley and Tay
lor?" asked Mr. Burrow.
Witnesses In Hiding.
"I understand they are In hiding In Can
ada," said the witness. Continuing, ha
said Apostle Merrill had nine wives, two
taken since the manifesto. Consulting the
church encyclopedia, the wlthesa said
Apostle Merrill had forty-five children and
127 grandchildren.
"And he Is the man who Is said to be
very 111?" asked Mr. Burrows.
"He is." was the response. ,
Attorney Taylor then brought out a
great many names of persons reputed to be
living In polygamy, together with dates of
marriages and the namber of children born
of these plural marriages since the mani
festo. Witness Owen testified to swearing out an
Information for Apostle Heber J. Grant be
cause of his holding out his polygamous
relations In an address before a Utah sem
inary. Mr. Owen said .Grant left the
country and has not slnoe returned.
Action waa also begun by Mr. Owen
against Angus M. Cannon on his plural
wives. Mr. Cannon was convicted under
this prosecution In September, 1P99.
Five persons in Sevier county and one In
Box Elder stake were convicted on the In
strumentality of Mr. Owen, and many other
complaints were filed by him, according to
his testimony. The fines In all cases were
merely nominal, said, Mr. Owen, from 5
to $150, and In nearly every case the fines
were paid by public subscription. He said
he satisfied himself that action In the courts
was unavailing.
Attorney Taylor at 2:50 announced that
the protestants had presented all their tes
timony In the case against Senator Smoot.
At this point a recess was taken.

DEPOSITIONS IN BLAIR CASE
Inauranca Company lki to Cancl Policj
for $230,000.
ALLEGE THAT FACTS WERE CONCEALED
Company Ala Holds that Deceased
Intended to Commit Snlrlde la
Case His Forgeries Be
came Known.
ST. LOUIS, Dec. 20 Attorney P. A.
Schofleld of Hannibal, Mo., appointed to
take depositions In the suit of a New York
life Insurance company to cancel the $200.
000 policy held by the late James L. Blair
of St. Louis, former general counsel of the
Louisiana Purchase Exposition company,
began the taking of testimony at the fed
eral building today. The cancellation of the
policy Is asked on the grounds that Blair
concealed the fact that he was uninsurable
at the time he took out the policy in 1902.
because of forgeries, embesxlements and
other crimes; also on the ground that Blair
Intended when he took out the policy to
commit suicide In case his alleged crimes
were discovered. One deposition has al
ready been taken and Is on file In the
clerk's office of the United States circuit
court. It wa made by R. C. Knnn, Blair's
bookkeeper, who now resides In Atlanta.
Oa., during a visit to the city several
months ago.
Blair's Rooks Prodnred.
At the Instance of the plaintiff's at
torneys. Attorney John F. Lee, one Of the
executors of Blair, produced at the hearing
the private books of Mr. Blair, showing his
financial operations. Copies of the con
tents of these books were recorded in
Kann's deposition.
The plaintiff company seemingly relies
upon these books to show what became of
the vast sums of money received by Blair
from Dick, Bros. & Co. of Philadelphia,
clients.
All the money obtained from Dick, Bros.
Co. Is credited to them In these books
and the various Interest notes on the se
curities aileged to have been forged are
charged up to Blair's private Interest ac
count. Money Is Mlsslngr.
This account shows that during the period
from 1894 to 190S Blair received from Dick,
Bros. A Co. about $320,000. During the same
period his personal expense amounted to
more than 1140,0m, and he paid out about
$120,000 for Interest, in addition to upward
of $26,000 .for real estate and about $10.ono
or $11,000' for life insurance, while his re
ceipts from his profession were about $60,ono.
A summary of the accounts Is said to show
that about $150,000, which the books show
Blair received during this period, Is not
accounted for.
