BOOK CONCERN CIS UP METHODISTS WILD WITHDRAW FROM TYPOTHETAE. Eight-Hour Day to Bo Granted Printers and Open Shop Established. CHICAGO, Oct. 1. (Special.) The Meth odist Book Concern will grant an eight hour day, establish the open shop and withdraw from the Un..ed Typothetae of America. This announcement was made today at the Rock River Conference. A remarkable scene followed the reading of the report, which had been signed by both the Eastern and Western divisions of the concern. Ministers and lay delegates cheered for 16 minutes. The resolutions commending the action of the concern were adopted at once. This action is considered a victory for la bor, but not wholly so. because ' of the recognition of the open shop. The fight against the Book Concern has been for an eight-hour workday. At last year's conference the Book Concern was criticised for the stand It maintained on the labor question. The new working day and open shop will go into effect on No vember 1, but the secession from the Typothetae becomes effective immedi ately. Presiding Elder White, in charge of the hop meetings which have been held here and elsewhere, praised the ac tion. "At some of the shops we have been barred from holding meetings because of the Methodist Book Concern's position relative to labor," said he. "The union men have become antagonistic to our meetings In some of these places because of the concern's attitude. Now I believe all shops will be open to .us."

FIVE MRS SMITHS E T Mormon President Charged With Crime of Polygamy. .. , TO VINDICATE OFFICIALS Accuser and- Magistrate Are Both Mormons Action Due to Criti cism for Xot Pushing Case of Baby Xo. 43. SALT LAKE CITY, Oct. l.-The Pres ident of the Mormon Church, Joseph F. Smith, was arrested and bound over to the .District Court today on the charge of living unlawfully with five wives. The complaint was sworn to by a Mormon deputy sheriff, the warrant wag served by a Mormon sheriff and. the committing magistrate is also a Mormon. Smith was arraigned immediately after his ar rest and waived preliminary. After be ing bound over he was released on his own recognizance. Smith reached here two days ago on his return from Europe. He then learned that an attempt had been made to secure his arrest for a statutory offense in con nection with the birth of. his forty-third child. The complaint was made from a distinctly anti-Mormon source. The County Attorney refused to approve a prosecution on this charge. The County Attorney was then cited to appear in court and show cause why he should not be compelled to act in the matter. After the hearing the court held that the at torney was Justified in refusing to prose cute because the complainant offered no evidence that the mother of the child was not the wife of Smith. Whatever the motive back of today's proceedings the effect will be to disarm criticism that has been directed against the authorities for their failure to take cognizance of the admissions made by Smith before the Senate committee dur ing the investigation of the Smoot case.
