SMOOT'S WEAKEST POINT His Oath to the Church May Be Held to Disqualify Him Mormon Meddling in Politics Checked. OREGON IAX NEWS BUREAU. Wash ington. Jan. 16. As the Smoot case pro gresses, there Is every Indication that no conclusion can be reached at this session ol Congress, but there is a prospect that the commltte on privileges and elections will .take testimony during the coming Summer. There is considerable curi osity among members of the committee, and some of them would like to get at the records which are held In the temple at Salt Lake City, and which were not proi duced during the investigation in Wash ington. Possibly some contempt cases would arise as a result of witnesses re fusing to testify or produce the records. The temple at Salt Lake City is not open to any man not a member of the Mormon Church. In the old days a man took his endowment in the endowment house; now the ceremony takes place In the temple, and only those who have ad vanced that far in the church are allowed to go into the temple. Perhaps members of the committee would like to go through the temple and see what it contains, and it Would be an interesting feature of the Investigation if the committee demanded the right to make an Inspection of the temple and wa refused. Smoot'g Oath May Decide. So far as developed the Impression pre vails that there Is not yet enough evi dence agninst Smoot Yo remove him, unless the 8enate takes the ground that any man who belongs to an oath-bound organization, and had to get the consent of the church, is not fit to be a Senator. One of the Democratic Senators puts It this way, "If Smoot believes in revelations, or ays he does, he Is either an Idiot or. a liar, and in cither case he Is not tit to bie a member of the Senate." Probably others will take a similar view. One of the most pronounced sticklers for Constitutional prerogative "-on the Democratic side privately state? that he has already made up his mind on the ground that Smoot had to secure the consent of the church before he could be a candidate for the Senate, and that is sufficient to disqualify him from being a member. Will Curb Mormon Church. The net result of the investigation so far will be to curb the propensity of the church to interfere in politics. That much -werns to have been accomplished. At the same time there is little doubt that the church will see that none save its friends are elected to office. The selec tion of cx-Roprcentat!ve Sutherland to succeed Senator Kcarns is sufficient evi dence of tills. Sutherland was no doubt agreed upon long ago a. a candidate. He wap Smoot's choice as far back as the Republican Convention In Chicago last Sunder, and it has been known that, if Smoot controlled the Legislature Suther land would be elected. Yet it is possible that no effort will be made in the Imme diate future, to press high church people forward for official position, at least where they arc to be sent to Congress. One reason why the Smoot case if not likely to be disposed of this session is because the debate on this subject Is likely to be very long and acriroonius-. There is a very deep feeling In the Senate on both sides, and, when the question once comes to the front. It is certain that there will be an explosion of the bottled up eloquence both for and against the accused Senator. MORE' LIGHT ON POLYGAMY. Leading Men of Utah Say It Is Dying Out. WASHINGTON, Jan. 16. Judge Wilr Ham McCarthy, -of the Supreme Court of Utah, a witness called for the de fense in the Smoot investigation, today declared that there was a tacit under standing in Utah that one Senator should be a Mormon and one a gentile. He said that Gentiles realized that, if the Mormons should unite, they could control and keep Gentiles off the tlckce and therefore Gentiles were apprehen sive until they knew whether thy were to get Mormon support. The Judge said It was his opinion that too much im portance was attached to the church as i political factor, and that as a mat ter of fact, there was little interfer ence. Judge James A. Miner, of Salt Lake, formerly of the Supreme Court of Utah, testified to Mr. Smoot's good character and to his prominence polit ically in 1S90, when Judge Miner went to Utah. He said that Mr. Smoot had always stood for the enforcement of the laws. Polygamy Is decreasing so rapidly, said the witness, that he be lieved Utah would be better in ten years than any state in the Union. "There is more polygamous or un lawful cohabitation in Utah than there is in New Tork or the District of Co lumbia," he added. Denies Church Is in Business. Ellas A. Smith, o fSalt Lake, cashier of the Deseret Savings Bank, was the next witness. He is a Mormon and was a member of the People's party (the Mormon party), until It was dis solved in 1SS1. Ha denied that at the meeting held for the dissolution of this party Instructions were given bv the church that certain persons should be Democrats, certain others Republican and some independent in politics. He said tnat every person was free to fol low his own inclination. Mr. Smith asserted that the Mormon Church does not control any business organization, although It does own stock in many concerns. Shaking of the Thatcher incident, Mr fcniith said it was because of differ ences with his brother apostles over religious matters, that the church ob Jectefl to Thatcier's candidacy for Senator. Mr. Smith said he had been through the endowment house,- once for hiaaself and twice for 'relative; iut be objected, to answering any questions concerning the ceremonies. He jpald he is the sec ond cousin of President Smith. Since the manifesto, he said, many polygamists have ceased to cohabit with their plural wives and these women, he said, iave sot been ostracised Because of their '"position. William P. O'Meara, a resident of Salt Lake City since ISM. testified that the sentiment of young Mormons is against polygamy and that many of them would be willing to have polygamous offenses punished by the Federal Government. He was of the opinion that the church does not intereiere in politics. Stocks of Mormon companies were offered for 3a le and not cornered by the Mormons. No Recent Polygamous Marriage. Judge Charles W. Morse, of Salt Lake, a Judge of the District Court, testified in regard to the work of a special grand jury In 1905, which Jnvestleated the charge of polygamous relations. The jury was in seesion four weeks. and many wltnesws were examined in regard to the alleged new pural' marriages. The Jury made a unanimous report to the effect that there were no .new cases to be found. A certi fied, copy of the report was offered In evidence. On cross-examination Judge Morse said the Investigations were made Into marriage? alleged to have taken place since the manifesto In Salt Lake County. It wap brought out that there had been no plural marriages for the past four years. "Taking Into consideration the matter of public sentiment, do you think there will be a movement now to put a stop to polygamous cohabitation V asked Chair man Burrows. Judge Morse yzld he thought there would be no prosecutions unless there was some unlocked for chango of sentiment. Judge Who Prosecuted Mormons. William M. McCarty, of Salt Lake, a Judge of the Supreme Court, who had perved as Assistant United States District Attorney and County Attorney In Sevier County, and was known as a' vigorous prosecutor of cases of polygamy, testified that after the prosecutions he was elected District Judge In a Mormon county. . Judge McCarty i!d that he made In quiry among young Mormons and found the consensus of opinion to be in favor of closing eyes in toleration of conditions and not prosecuting cases of polygamus cohabitation where the marriages were contracted before Jhe manlfeato. He said, however, that he did not agree with President Smith that the people of Utah condone the offense of old polygamists. He added: "1 believe that the sentiment Is decided ly against the practice of polygamy, even in cases where the marriages took place before the manifesto, but the people do not want to go on record as prosecutors." Judge McCarty was asked concerning his prosecutions of polygamists in the United States Court in 1893. He said he stopped bringing actions before the Com missioners because his superior officer shut off his fes. He thought the United States District Attorney had received an Intimation from the Department of Jus tice to "ease up" on the prosecutions. He thought, both political parties became op posed to criminal proceedings. Continu ing, he skid: "And that was the cause of the trouble this coquetting with, the Mormon church. Mea in both parties sought to learn whether the territory would become a Republican or Democratic state. I won't say they sought out the church as a political organization, but sought the politicians among the Mormons." Chairman Burrows asked Judge Mc Carty whether he thought the president of the church, confessedly living In polyg amous relations, had a tendency to pro mote or discourage the practice among the people. "To promote it. unquestionably I should say," was the reply. The witness thought. If the president of the church should put aside his plural wives and declare against polygamous practices, there would be an end to the practice except In a very few Instances. Equal Division of Offices. In answer to questions by Senator Du bois. Judge McCarty said the Mormons In Utah may unite to exclude every Gentile from the state ticket, and therefore the Gentiles were apprehensive until they knew whether a flght was to be made against them, but he said he thought too much prominence was given to the church, and that the Mormons as a church are not taking the active part in politics that has been attributed to them. He was of the opinion that Mr. Smoot has to get the concent of the church to run for Senator, and that, when a high church officer ran for office. It was un derstood that he had obtained the con sent of his superiors in the church. He -said there was a tacit understanding that one Senator should be a Morman and one a Gentile. Mr. Taylor asked Judge Mc Carty If he approved of this agreement, and he said: . "No. I do not: It recognizes the Mor mon church as a factor in politics, and I believe that we should get the best men on the ticket, and that fitness for office should be the only consideration." Dr. A. S. Condon, of Ogden. testified that he was a member of the first and last legislature. The last Legislature was the one which elected Smoot to the Senate. He joined the Smoot forces after he saw his own candidate had no chance of election, but said he had not been ap pointed by the Mormon church. 1 i n : - n : , i I m ii I i fm Wolf Hunting in England. , London Daily MalL In the wild fell country to the weit of Northumberland hundreds of the In habitants continue to follow the track of the wolf which, during the past few days has laid the flocks of the farmers under heavy tribute by f-laying their sheep. Two months ago a wolf escaped irom a private collection at Sbotlcy bridge, 13 relics from Newcastle, and all traca of it was lost until about three weeks ago, when sheep worrying com menced in the Allendale district. Raids have been organized, and the wolf chased over miles of the snow-covered fells bv men armed with guns and various wea pons, but without result. Some of the pursuers are said to have got within range of the animal with their guns, ye the disturber of rural peace has man aged to escape. In many a lonely home stead it is a source of dread to the In mates, whose Imaginations run riot over the wolf as they listen to or retail the latest news concerning Its whereabouts. On Saturday a supreme effort was made to bring him down, but he never allowed himself to get within range of his pur suers rifles. He was finally chased by horsemen over the snow-covered moors via West Burnhope, and when night fell ho had reached Dukesfleld. a dense, wild wood covering an area of not less than 7O0 acres, within the solitude of which ho doubtless spenfthe night.
