nafe deposit box of Mr. R. H. Armour In
the New Kngland National bank and sold
them. Hhe wan young, entertaining and
close to the widow of the late pecker, o.)
fond had Mm. Armour become of her and
so satisfied was she of the young woman
business ability that she had named her
as an executor In J.er will. Since the tlH
covery the will hati been changed.
The most remarkable thing about the en
tire disappearance and sale of the securi
ties ia the faot that, so far a can be s-eii,
there has been no Interruption In the
friendship of Mr. Armour for the young
woman.
On one occasion, beiW questioned by a
tradesman about her extensive purchase,
the young woman explained that a wealthy
brother was sending l.er money and that
when she had accumulated V0.000 frtm her
brother's gifts she Intended to "retire."

by the citizens of Memphis to Invite him
to make his home In that city that he

Representative Slsson of MlHalsslppI and
Hoblson of Arkansas and Duke C Bowers

I his could easily raise S2.O0O.000 If that
would he any Inducement to have Mr.
B'-yan In his city.
Mr. Bryan replied that It was not a
money consideration and If he looked at
it In that light he would not be worthy of
such an Invitation. He said he knew he
bad friend In the south who would stand
by him and that ws why they did not
need him there; they needed him more In
th6 north.
Puggetitlng that he should not be on one

WASHINGTON. April .-8enator Ii
Follette today Introduced a resolution pro
viding for another Investigation of the
Senator Iorlmer case. It names as the
committee of investigation. Senator Works
of California. Townsend of Michigan, Mc
liean of Connecticut, Kern of Indiana, and
Pomerene of Ohio. No action was taken
as Senator La Follette Intends to speak
upon the resolution another day.
The resolution recites the action of the
senate last session when a move to declare
the seat of Senator Iorlmr vacant because
of alleged corruption of the Illinois legisla
ture which eleoted blm failed. The resolu
tion says:
It appears from the published reports of
the proceedings of the said Illinois state
senate committee that witnesses who were
not called and sworn by the committee of
this senate appointed to investigate said
charges, have appeared before the said
committee of the Illinois state senate and
on being Interrogated have given Important
material testimony tending to prove that
JlnO.OdO was corruptly expended to secure
the election of William lxjrlmer to the
I'nlted States senate.
After naming the special committee which
It Is proposed to have appointed to con
duct a new Inquiry, the resolution pro
vides for meetings of the committee during
spsslona of the senate and gives to it full
authority to aubpoenae persons and send
for papers and to administer oaths.
Resolution Will B eOpposed.
It Is expected the adoption of the reso
lutln will be opposed by senators who voted
for Senator Ixrlmer last session and that
an effort will be made to have the reso
lution referred to the committee on privi
leges and elections, of which Senator Dil
lingham of Vermont will be the new chair
man. The Vermont senator, as a member
of the committee, voted laet session against
the resolution to unseat Mr. Ixirlmer. .
xNever before In the history of the senate
has an Individual member sought Jp.jname
a committee of Investigation touching on
the right of a senator' to retain his seat,
or for n other matter. When" spevisj
committees have been named for any pur
pose, the personnel has rested with the
vice president or the senate Itself.. In the
larter- Instances the committees Invariably
have been subcommittee! of standing com
mittees. All 'of the men nominated by the I.a
Follette resolution began their terms In
the senate with the convening of the pres
ent, extraordinary session. It is understood
they were selected at a conference of pro
gressive senators.
Senator Stone of Missouri made the pre
diction at the White Houne today that the
senate would be compelled to investigate
for the second time the charges of bribery
In Ixirlmer's election. Senator Stone be
lieves that a new committee will be ap
pointed to prosecute the investigation.
"The testimony In the Investigation in
Springfield Is so ugly" said Mr. Stone,
that It seems to me that congress must
take notice of It and If I am not mistaken
the senate will take some action. The
proprieties of the situation might Influence
the senate to wait until the Illinois Inveatl-,
gatlon Is finished. Testimony produced In
Springfield undoubtedly will be brought of
ficially to the attention of the senate."
JOHNSTOWN. Pa., April .-Arrling at
the station here at 1:M this afternoon Sen
ator I,orlmer of Illinois was shown a tele
giam from Washington, D. C. announcing
that Senator I .a Follette had Introduced
a resolution In the senate calling for a
new Investigation of Ixirimers election to
that body.
Mr. Txi rimer read the mens age calmly
and then stated that he would not com
ment on it except on the floor of congress.
He announced he would return today to
Waahlngton. leaving here early this even
ing. Arriving on the train with Senator Ixirl
mer were two Chicago men. They also
refused to discus the case.

Here they found enough of the remains
of an officer of the military transport

A military cordon was thrown about the

President J. F.Smith
Says Plural Nuptials
Are Still Solemnized
Head of Mormon Church Asserts Men
Who Perform Ceremonies Are
Hard to Find.
SALT LAKE CITV. I'tah, April S-The
position of the Church of Jesus Christ,
I -e iter Day Saints, or, as it is commonly
called, the Mormon church, on marriage
was reiterated today by' President Joseph
F. Smith In his t rraim opening the eighty
first conference. He said In part:
"We ought to obey the rule of the church
with regard to marriage. As announced
time and time oaln, at these conferences
plural marriages have ceased In the church.
There Is no man authorized to perform a
plural marriage. We have been doing all
In our iower to stop this. We have been
doing all we can to trace the men who
art performing such ceremonies. It is hard
to locate them but when we do find them
we will deal with them.
"With respect to the Idea proposed by
some, to Induce the congress of the L'nlted
States to amend the constitution so as
to give the federal government power to
regulate plural marriage, so far as I am
concerned, I have no objection whatever
to such an' amendment. Neither has any
other Latter Day Saint. It the state
petition to the national congress to regu
late the whole subject of marriage In the
I'lited State and It will be a Godsend to
the people everywhere."
President Smith announced that during
the year Just closed there was one divorce
to each 5.000 chinch members a compared
to one divorce to each 1.1(0 person in the
I't.lted State.
President Smith denounced the appar

as well In the country at large to patronise
plays of a vulgar and demoralizing char
