"So far as the Grain trust is concerned,
no effort will bo made to revive It and the
decision of the court will he compiled with,
I feel certain. As a matter of fact the
members of the association saw the hand
writing on the wal' aoon after we begun
our fight; they were forced to tho con
viction that it was uselesa for them to go
up against such a determined fight as we
were making, and so they simply cut their
cloth accordingly. As you know, they dis
solved their association soma wueks ago,
knowing this result waa Inevitable.
"I want to say we certainly must give
Attorney General Brown a vast amount
of credit for the part he played In this
fight. Had It not been for the prompt and
manful- stand he took we could not have
got through so well. And Judge Sullivan,
too, deserves great credit." -
M. I.. Learned of Kennedy 6 Letired,

statement until he had viewed tSe court's
decision In full. ' ' ' , . ;
"The court's decision Is In accordance of
tho Only law I know anything about,", re
marked W. ,J. Connell, attorney for the ma
jority council members exonerated by the
decision of the supreme court in . the gas
ordinance case. "When we went Into that
case It was such a dead open and shut
game of cinch that I really felt some mls-glvlngs-
just because It waa such a certain
thing. This decision wipes the whole thing
out. It pulls it' up by the roots and throws
it over the fence."
This litigation originated from th most
exciting and 'memorable council meeting In
many years in Omaha. It waa at that meet
ing when Mayor Moores stood In tha coun
cil chamber and exchanged heated words
with members and kept policemen sta
tioned at the doors to prevent councllmen
Inimical to the pending measure from leav
ing and thus avoid voting.
The measure under fire was the socalled
$.'$ gaa ordinance. Acting for Interested
parties, said to be a Cleveland lighting
syndicate which sought a franchise In
Omaha, T. W. Blackburn had secured th
Issuance of a restraining ofder to prevent
th council from passing this ordinance.
Five of the members attempted to pass it,
and claimed they did pass It, though City
Clerk Flbourn did not read It the third
time, and other, formalities, such as being
put from the chalr. were omitted. These
five men were fryball, Schroeder, Evans,
Huntington and Back and the four opposing
the ordinance and complying with the In
junction were Hoye, Zlmnian. Nicholson
and O'Brlon.
Nicholson was In the chair, Zlmman
having vacated it. When this ordinance
came up Nicholson refused to put it to a
vote. This precipitated the riot of words
which came near developing Into blows.
Huntington finally declared he wo chair
man for the time being and he would put
the question. He did so and declared it

PROF. W01FE SEVERELY CROSS-EXAMINED
Three Witnesses Testify to Taking
the Oath of Vengeance
in the Kndowment
Hon.
WASHINGTON, Feb. S.-The Senator
8 moot case, so far as introduction of testi
mony hy the prote.iants is conceined, prob
ably will be closed tomorrow. Announce
ment to that effect waa made by John G.
Carlisle, who hss been prorecuting the
case at the present session of congress,
at the close of the proceedings today.
The defense has not announced the num
ber of witnesses it' expects to call nor
when It will be ready to proceed.
Th hearing today dealt with alleged
Mormon Interference In business affairs
and with the endowment house ceremony.
Three witnesses testified that they had
taken thf obligation administered and as
they recalled It there was a variance in
the form aa it related to an agreement to
avenge the blood of the prophet. Henry
W. Lawrence of Salt tako City said he
had been called upon to promise to avenge
Joseph Smith, Hyrum Smith, David Pat
ten and Parley P. r'tt. all church lead
ers who met death at the hands of mobs.
The witness declared that no Mormon
could go through the endowment house
without taking the oath.
Chairman Burrows said today that lie
would Insist upon concluding the Investiga
tion and making a report to the senate
this session.

Senator Reed Smoot of Ctah before the

Prof. Walter M. Wolfe, who was a teacher
In Mormon schools and a member of the
chnrrh until very recently, was today sub-
.ected to a severe cross-examination by A.
8. Worthington. counsel for the senator.
A large number of letters which ha 4
been written by Wolfe to members of th
church were put Into the record to show
that he had not made complaints of the
conduct of Benjamin Cluff on the Mexican.

mlnatlon. He denied charges by counsel
that he had been Intoxicated In several pub
lic places and that he had expressed con
trition because of his refusal to nav tith
ing. Mr. Worthington will call a lane
number of witnesses to discredit Wolfe.
On re-dlrect examination the names of
a number of residents of Provo were read
to the witness and ten of them, he said.
wore living In polygamous cohabitation.
He said he knew George Taylor, brother-in-law
of Mr. Smoot and that Taylor had
asked him (Wolfe.) to give up his demo
cratic faith and come in with "the great
majority." This was Just previous to the
election of the legislature that elected
Smoot to th senate, h said, and further
that Taylor asked him to do all he could
for the election of Smoot.
. Plaral Wives la School.
"I told him," said the witness, "that I
would if I thought It to be the will of the
Lord. Mr. Taylor said he believed It was
the will of God and It seems to have been.
He told me then, tfiSt' Smoot's candidacy
had been discussed and endorsed by the
high counclt of Ctah, convened aa a prayer
circle." .
In response to question by several mem
ber of the committee Wolfe said that In
Brlgham Toung VoYlcge, Oveha Jorgenson
and Florence ReyhoKJs were - hm only j
students whom m'kne-w to have become j
plural wives. He" thought that children of I
polygamous relations 'looked upon po I
lygamy as a divine Institution. Of th 1
Provo citizens ' Whoso names wer read,
only one, Thoma Chamberlain, had en-
tercd polygamy since the manifesto. A '
number of the songs' alleged to have been
hostile to the government of the United
States were put Into the record and Wolfe
said these songs -were sung frequently. '
William J. Thomas of Spanish Fork,
Utah, the next witness, said he had gon
through the endowment houso in 1869, and
had taken an oath to "avenge the blood
of the prophet Joseph Smith, upon this
nation and to teach hi children to do j
so down to the third and fourth genera- j
Hons." He said he was dropped from the '
church in tn w s Det--uj no u. i"i
too openly against plural marriages.
Senator Knox asked if he had ever done
anything to carry out his obligation to
"avenge the blood of the prophet upon this j
nation."
"No. sir. I enlisted twica to defend this
natlin," said Thomas.
The witness told of M. Mlchelson, form
erly an employe of Thoma. going to
Mexico to take a plural wife. Mlchelson
told the witness he was going "where he
could live his religion."
John P. Holugren of Bear River City,
IT tali, a member of the t'tah legislature
from 1898 to 190S, testified that he voted
against the Evans bill, prohibiting th first
wife from testifying against her husband
in polygamy proceedings. Ha was de
feated after this, but said lie thought it I
was not bis vote tht defeated him. Ho j
said he took the endowment house oath in .
18S9. He repeated the oath of vengeance,
and, as he remembered It, he agreed to I

BUTTERMILK
A Dart Way Out.
The" buttermilk fad," which It follow
irs insisted was the cure for nil the Ills !
that human flesh Is ' heir to. has pretty
well had Us day.
Buttermilk Is a pleasant and healthy
drink, but there are a whole lot of desir
able things that It cannot do. A Nebr.
woman found something much more
worth wh'le. She says:
"Thre years ago my stomach was in
such a frightful condition that I could
scarcely bear to take any fond at all.
Indeed there waa once that I went for
14 day without a morsel of nourishment
preferring starvation to the acute agony
that I suffered when I ate anything. And
all this entailed upon me almost constant
headaches and nervousness. My condi
tion waa truly pitiable.
"The doctor warned me that th coffee
I drank wa chiefly responsible for
this condition, and ordered m to drink
buttermilk instead. But I despised but
termilk and could not bring myself to
use It.
"Then I was advised to try Postum
Food Coffee. It tia completely renovatod
and made over my whole system. The
salutary effect on my poor stomach was
simply marvelous, and that straightened
out, the headaches, nervousness and
other troubles soon vanished. For more
than a year I have not felt any distress or
pain, such a I one thought would
kill m.
"I can truthfully say that Postum
haa brought me th blessing of
th perfect health I enjoy, for I gav up
medicine when I began It use." Nam

"Th Road t WallvUi", In pkg.
by the Mormon church in April, lf5. II
IS a director In the Beck Salt works, and
told of having been called to Salt Lake
City to see President Joseph F. Smith and
member of the first presidency which held
th controlling Interests In the Inland Crys
tal Salt company. In company with Rich
ard Taylor Mr. Smurthwaite met th first
presidency, he said, and was t"ld by Presi
dent Smith that if he remained. In the
salt business In competition with th?
church he would be ruined.
"I told President Smith," SAld the wit
ness, "that I had the power to crush my
child, but not the right. Mr. Smith r
piled that this was business and I told him
that I thought business meant profit."
The witness then detailed the entire
Interview, which resulted In no agreement,
as the church Insisted that none of its
members should enter Into competition
with the church. Mr. Smurthwalte waa
excommunicated, he said, in consequence
of this disagreement. He spoke against
the church being In business and had
told his bishop that aa Joseph F. Smith
was the exclusive agent of God In th
church his participation In business was
equivalent to God being in business.
Finally he said he had publicly disclaimed
Smith' authority as a prophet and spoke
against his testimony on the subjeot of
polygamous cohabitation and was tried on
charges of apostscy and unchristtanlike
conduct and found guilty.
Lawrence Telia of Oath of Vengeance.
Henry W. Lawrence of Salt Lake City
was the first witness at tha afternoon ses
sion. He was born of Mormon parents and
left the church in 1W! because he became
doubtful of the church system. He said he
was associated with others In the publica
tion of the Vtah Magaslne, which advocated
the opening of mines against the teaching
of the holy prlesthopd. His associates were
excommunicated because of this policy esrly
In 1S9, but action against him failed for the
reason, he thought, that he was then a man
of affairs. , Concerning the endowment
house ceremony, which he said he took
early In his life, he said no oath was ad
ministered obligating him to covenant and
agree before God, HIS agents and the wit
nesses assembled to avenge the blood of
the prophets "Joseph Smith, Hyrum Smith, I
David Patten and Parley P. Pratt. His tes
timony is the first that has been given by
any witnesses using the names of David
Patten and Parley P. Pratt in the obliga
tion. Ife said that as administered to him
the oath did not stipulate that the ven
geance must be taken upon "this nation"
and In that respect the oath wa ambig
uous. He said he had participated later In
administering the ceremonies to others and
that no person could go through the en
dowment house without taking the oaths.
These were administered orally, he said,
and that as different parties officiated It
was likely that the wording of the obliga
tion might vary at the different cere
monies. Lawrence referred frequently to the
tyranny of the priesthood that existed dur
ing ills membership In the church and
Chairman Burrows ssked If that tyranny
existed today. The witness said that there
was more liberality shown now, but that a
man who desired to continue In good stand
Ing In the church must obey the leaders In
all things. In regard to teachings of the
church he said that nowhere In the books
was there to be found anything directing
loyalty to the government and that they
sang a song containing the lines. "Brlgham
Toung Is our king." He said from the
preochlngs he had heard he believed that
the teachings were the same today. He
said the revelation of polygamy must be be
lieved by a good church momber. whether
he practiced it or not, for to suspend one
revelation would be to suspend them all.
, - Mormon Control State.
C. M. Owen, who has been employed In
getting evidence against Mr. Smoot. was
then called." Mr. Carlisle submitted-a list of
th members of the constitutional conven
tion, all of the members of the legislatures
and state officers and others who have held
office since Utah was admitted to statehood.
Mr. Owen marked the list showing that of
those represented, every governor, secre
tary of state, treasurer, auditor and super,
lntendent of schools had been Mormons;
that two-thirds of the members of every
legislature were Mormons; that in each
legislature there had been from one to ten
polygamists and in the constitutional con
vention out of 115 members there were sev
enty Mormons, thirty of whom were polyga
mists. The supreme court was Gentile, he
said, and the other courts mixed. Mr.
Worthington sought to show that two
third of the Utah population was Mor
mon, but Owen said he did not think this
was true at the present time.
The committee adjourned until 12 o'clock
tomorrow. Mr. Carlisle aaid he thought he
could close protestants case at the forenoon
session tomorrow.

PITTSBURG. Feb. I. Notwithstanding
the fact that President John Mitchell of the
I'nlted Mine Workers of America has de
cided that local district No. t haa the power
In its present convention to oust President
Dolan and Vice President Belllngham of
the district No. ft, President Dolan still
maintains that he was elected by a referen
dum vote and can be removed only In th
same manner. President Dolan still defies
th delegates and refuses to vacate his
office, snd a split In the district Is not be
yond a possibility according to some of the
delegates, who announce that Dolan haa re
ceived a number of telegrams and letters
advising him to fight the Issue and If de
feated, to start an Independent organisa
tion.
I President Mitchell's decision was made
public In his instructions to National Vice
President Lewis, who read thm to tho con
vention todHy, Mr. Mitchell gave it as his
Judgment that the delegates had power to
oust Dolan and Bclllngham. Mr. Lewis re
ceived them last night, but held them until
late today before making them public.
Tarinoll In Convention.
When the decision was read to the con
vention there was turmoil, strife and con
fusion. Delegates rushed to tho center of
the floor, demanding that Dolan Instantly,
vacate the chair. Cheer and hisses rose
from the crowd of excited delegates and for
a time It eemed that the president would
be forcibly removed from his seat.
The storm was calmed by Mr. Lewis, who
made himself heard In moving a reeef-s
whllo the telegrams and decision of Presi
dent Mitchell Vere given to the newspapers.
When the convention was railed to order
again a number of resolutions amending
1 tne constitution were offered and rnssed. A
resolution was passed appointing a commit- i
tee to draft rules for a new election and to
fix the dite. It is said Dolan will be a can
didate for re-election, but that Belllnghani
will not.
While watting through the day for th
Mitchell decision the work Of th conven
tion was at a comparative deadlock.
Dolan' friends are bitter tonight against
President Mitchell's derision. They claim
that he has prejudged th case and I un
aware of the exact situation. Another ses
sion of the convention will be held tomor

In the absence of President John Mitchell,

TOPEKA, Kan., Feb. . "tittle If any
material strike sentiment Is being ex-
I pressed among Kansas coal miners," said
I H. C. Cowan, member of the legislature
I from the Cherokee coal district, today.
1 jfr. Cowan Is s mine worker and is fsmll-
tar with the conditions In the coal districts
of Kansas.
"I think Kansas miners do not want a
trlke," Mr. Cowan continued. "I am sat- 1
Isfled they will not favor a strike unless
they deem It unavoidable. But If there
Is a miners' ftrlke at all, It will be general,
and Kansas, Missouri, Illinois, Iowa, In
dian Territory and Indiana will be affected.
I think the difference between the miner
and th mine operator will be adjusted
through arbitration."
