to Dispose Of.
Mayor Macrae's veto of the ordinance
?reatlng a Seventh ward out of portions of
the second precincts -of the Fourth and
fifth wards was sustained by tha city
ounrll last night by a vote of 4 to 3.
Councilman Younkerman was absent end
the vote on the motion of Councilman
Wallace to sustain the veto resulted as
follows: ' Ayes. Maloney. Wallace. Hen-
! drlcks and Olsen; nsys, Fleming. Knudsen
and Smith.
The communlcstlon from the mayor veto
ing the ordinance was as follows:
I herewith return ward ordinance un
signed. 1 cannot see a good reason for
making such a chnnge ns you contemplate
In Its reading. I would recommend that
ycu rescind your action.
It was generally understood that Mayor
Macrae Intended vetoing the ordinance
from the start and that his action In so
doing would be sustained by a majority of
the city council. The doom of the or
dinance, it Is said, was sealed when Coun
cilman Knudsen succeeded In having It
amended so as to materially change the
boundaries of the Fifth ward and throw
part of that ward Into the Fourth ward.
The ordinance If it had been sustained,
would have legislated Councilman Smith
lut of the Fifth word which he now rep
resents and made him a resident of the
Fourth ward. ,
Residents of the portion of the city lying
south of tha railroad tracks on Sixteenth
avenue, at whose Instance Councilman
Smith Introduced the ordinance, will, it Is
said, make another attempt later on to
have a new ward created out of that ter
ritory with boundaries that will not so
materially affect the present Fifth and
Fourth wards.
Following the session as a council, the
councUmen met as a committee of the
whole and resumed the reading of tha vol
uminous report of Expert 'Klersted on the
water works. At 10 o'clock Clerk Sapp had
completed the task of reading the docu
ment wltM the exception of thirty-five pages
and It was then decided to adjourn until
this evening when the reading will be fin
ished and some action on the report and
recommendations of the special committee
probably be taken.

Clerks Arrnngrlna; for Convention.
H. V. Battey, clerk of the district court,
will go to Des Moines today to attend a
meeting of the executive' committee of
the State Association of Clerks of the Dis
trict Court, of which he la president and
which meeting was called by him. The
purpose of the meeting Is to determine the
time and place for this year's session. Last
year the meeting was held in this city dur
ing the summer, at the same time as the
meetings of the state associations of super
visors, treasurers, auditors and recorders.
The same plan probably will be followed
this year, providing the other associations
are agreeable. By the several associations
meeting at the same time and the same
place, reduced railroad fares can be ob
tained, whereas otherwise they could not
be. If the different associations held their
meetings at separate dates and In different
places. A reduced railroad faro become:
an essential .feature now that the rail
roads are not handing out free transporta
tion to county ' officials, as has been the
custom heretofore. The "passing of the
pass" it Is expected, will be responslbh
for a smaller attendance at these annual
meetings of the state associations hence
forth. The eleventh annual convention of the
State Association of County Supervisors
opens In Dee Moines todny and will last
over Friday. Colonel W. F. Baker of this
city will represent the Pottawattamie
county board at the convention. He Is on
the program to lead the discussion of "Good
Roads" at the session this afternoon. He
left for Des Moines last evening.

Idea la to Give Property Owners n
(hance to Pay to
The supervisors of Pottawattamie county,
Ip session yesterday as a drainage board,
decided to extend the time of the bond Is
sue for the Pigeon Creek drainage ditch

meantime many of the property owners In

thereby materially reduce the' amount of
bonds to he issued. By paying up the as
sessment the property owners benefited by
the drainage ditch will save the Interest
on the bonds, which will run for fifteen
years.
The county auditor was authorized to ad
vertise for bids for removing dirt , from
Little Pigeon creek; which It Is Intended
to use as a lateral for the main ditch.
The bids are to be In his hands by 9 a. m.,
February a, to which time the supervisors
adjourned as a drainage board.

board the supervisors met Jn regular ad
journed session as a county board. The

The city council held a special session
yesterday afternoon to assess up the coat
cf the recently completed paving on Park
avenue between Pomona, street and the en
trance' to Falrmount park and on Pomona
street between Park and Glen avenues. The
total cost of the paving In Park avenue Is:
Cash, $6,859.36; certificate. $7,129.13; on Po
mona street, cash, $7U6.98; certificates, $796.12.
There will be no deficiency to be paid by
the city out of the general Improvement
fund unless the courts rule otherwise, as
the council decided that all of the abutting
property was able to bear the arsessinent.
Property owners on Olen avenue whie
holdings back against Park avenue assert
they receive no benefit from the paving, as
the street Is lnaccessable from their lots
snd have announced their determination to
appeal to the courts, as they did against
the assessment for the curbing on the
same street.

Insr of ,he Fan,
WASHINGTON, Jan. 22 -Senator Puther
land today csme to the defense of his col
league. Senator Smoot of Utah, defending
his right to retain his seat In the United
States senate. Prefacing his argument with
observations on the grsvlty of the charges
1 against Mr. Smoot. the Junior Utah senator
said there were extreme views held In his
state on both sides of tho question. He
said he did not expect to satisfy either of
these extreme classes.
"t am not here to Jurtlfv wrongdoing In
my own state," he said, "nny more than
I am here to Justify wrongdoing In any
other state. Whoever may be thus em
ployed must bear his own responsibilities.
"In public understanding." Senator Suth
erland said, "Smoot was s polygamlst. and
notwithstanding the fact thst this charge,
originally made by one man, had been re
pudiated by everybody connected In the
case, It was still asserted In the newspapers
and was given genersl credence In the
country. In sll probability this belief that
Smoot was a polygamlst had much to do
with the vast number of petitions which
have been presented to the sonata." Mr.
Sutherland declared that, however numer
ous these petitions, senators could not
affnrd to be swayed from a lust determina
tion of the case upon Us merits. "Each
of us must render his Judgment after a
paaslonles consideration of the evidence
and a Judicial determination of the truth."
Character of Witnesses.
Discussing the charge that Smoot had
taken an oath as nn apostle that conflicted
with his obligation as a senator, the sen
ator stated that this charge had originally
been made by the same man who had
charged Smoot with polyBHTiy. snd that
of the five witnesses who testified to It, four
had been shown by uncontradicted evidence
to be persons of bad repute, drunkards or
of unsound mind. There was m large amount
of evidence, said he, given by thoroughly
reputable cltlsens of the state to the effect
that no such oath Was ' taken, and that,
taking all of the testimony together, this
charge was utterly discredited.
The two charges remaining were that
polygamy and polyp ous cohabitation
were still being practiced by adherents of
the Mormon church and that the church
Interfered In political and temporal mat
ters. As to the first charge, the speaker
traced the history with reference to the
growth of polygamy until Its final aban
donment by the church In 1890. The thing
which the government of the United States
as well as the Gentile in Utah have been
striving for, said Mr. Sutherland, was to
get rid of the Institution of polygamy. He
took the position that It was recognised. In
the main, that the people who had entered
Into this unlawful relation did so under
a religious delusion; that they were good
men and good women, though of course
utterly mistaken in their views respecting
this matter.
Briefly reviewing some of the famous
religious delusions of the past, such as the
crusades, Spanish inquisition, witchcraft
and others, the speaker said that "from
the beginning the melancholy fact runs
through sll history that nothing has been
too absurd and nothing too cruel to be be
lieved, taught snd done In the name of
religion."
Status of Polygamy.
"The fact that polygamy was therefore
opposed to the united thought of the Amer
ican people and to that of ths Christian
world,"- he continued, "was no argument
that It was not conscientiously believed by
ths Mormon people who practiced it In the
past. When the- manifesto of ths church
was issued forbidding future polygamous
marriages, the general opinion among gen
tiles In Utah had been that the end of the
contest had come. At that time there were
over 2,000 polygamous marriages or house
holdsthat some of theae people had re
sumed their former associations was
beyond doubt. As a general thing. It had
been thought that so long ss these rela
tions were not flagrant not flaunted in the
face of the community that while they
were not approved, but were deplored, It
was a hard situation to me-t, and all

rknrrh In Pnlltlee.
Discussing tho question of the Interfer
ence of the church In political matters, hs
traced the church history, showing when
the Mormon pevple went to Utah In U47
their movement possessed all the character
istics of a religious exodus. In the begin
ning they probably felt no need of a civil
government at all. When a civil govern
ment was formed the religious leaders be
came their civil officers. Eventually tba
rule of the church became more and mors
until the government In Utah was a
Irtual theocracy. The gentiles, who or
ganised under the name of the liberal
party, sought to overthrow polygamy anil
hurch control In govemment matters, while
the Mormon people In opposition organised
the people's party. For twenty years ths
fight wss altogether pro-church and anti
church in character. In 1831. after the poly
gamy manifesto, the people's parly was
abandoned snd organisations effecfd alone
national party lines. Since then, while
charges of church interferenee have been
made from time to time, and while there
may have been Instances of Interference
by leading officials In politics, on tho
whole there has been marvelous advance
In electing officers the gentiles had not
been, on the ground that they were gen
tiles, unfairly treated by Mormon voters.
Said Mr. Sutherland. He thought that there
was at least no more disposition on ths
part of Mormons to vot against gentiles
than there was on ths psrt of gentiles to
vote against Mormons.
Conditions Are Better.
"I do not say that conditions srs perfest
in Utah; they are not perfect any where;
but I do say that conditions are Immeas
urably better today than they have ever
been befoie, and they will be better la
the future than they are today. I do not
claim that there are no evils among they
people, some remnants of the old objection
able conditions still persist, but I do claim
that these evils are fewer In number and
less In extent than they have ever been
before, and In my Judgment It Is only a
matter of a short time until they will be
eradicated altogether."
Mr. Sutherland declared that any charge
that life or property was In ths si If h teat
degree unsafe In Utah, that ths people or
disrespect the flag, or that there was any
feeling of hostility toward the general
movement wss a cruel falsehood.
Mr. Smoot himself, said Mr. Sutherland, '
had alfcays Insisted the practlcs of poly
gamy should be abandoned; he had never
been a polygamlst and not a line Of testi
mony could be found to Indicate that hs
had ever advocated the practice of poly
gamy. He said Mr. Bmoot's whols life hatt
been clean and above reproach, thst ths
demand of ths petitions that he should be
removed from the United States senate In
order that he might not from that exalted
place make war upon the American horns,
was hysteria, pure and simple.
