Washington, D C Feb. 1 9. The fate
of Reed Smoot will be determined to
morrow, when the Senate will vote to de
termine whether he shall be accepted as
the representative of Utah in that body
! The indications are th:t the Senate's vot
wiU be expressive of their confidence in
Mr. Smoot. . The opposition, however, ie
carrying the fight to tha last ditch and Is
hopeful that tha vote will be against the
Utah man.
It takes a two-thirds vote to expel from
the united States Senate. As tha Sen
ate is nearly two-thirds Republican tms
means that all tha Democrats and half
tha Republicans would have to vote to
turn Smoot out There ie little in the
private comment of Senators to indicate
that any such degree of opposition to Mr
Smoot as this exists. '
If Smoot is u .seated it will be because
he is a member of the governing body of
the Mormon church. It is alleged by
Senators Burrows, Dolliver, Bailey, Pett
us and others who would unseat him that
by repeated acts he has, as a member of
the quorom of the twelve apostles, given
aid and support to the hierarchy in its
defiance of the laws of his own state and
of the general government. It is alleged
that he as a member of the inner circle
of the apostles has .ndirectly, if not direct
ly, encouraged polygamy. Many persons
have received the Impression that Sena
tor Smoot has been guilty of polygamy,
but thie is entirely erroneous. Tha fact
is that the committee of the Senate which
by a vote of eeven to five reported in
favor of unseating the Senator exonerat
ed him from the charge of polygamy.
Washington Feb. 19 United State .
Senator Reed Smoot today mad the only .
speech that he ever mad In the senate,
in defense of his right to his seat. He .
said "I solemly aver that in every vot or
action as a Senator, that I have bean and
snail siways be guMiiu u ' Cir.vlct-.
ions of what is best for the whole people. '
I have never taken an oath (or obligation '
religious or other wis which conflict with
my supreme allegiance in civil affair to '
my country, an allegiance I freely, full 1
and frankly give." He eaid "I am not nor
never was a polygamist and have declar- '
ed that any man who was married to a
poligamous wife since the manifesto
should be prosecuted. - Thie regardless of ,
his personality or position'" He declared .
that there is nothing In the church oaths
to suggest hostility to this or any other
government. He continued by stating that
Utah had played her full part in all of the .
wars of this country from tha Mexican
clear thru to the Phillipines insuirection
When McKinley called for men Utah fur
nished her full quota and offered more.

New York, Feb. 19. The Thaw trial
was called promptly at 10:50. Evelyn
was the first witness and Attorney Del
mas resumed the direct examination.
Eve'yn was pallid but self possessed,
faced the court with a steady eye, were a
blue dress of former days designed with
a low, btoad, girlish collar of white. She
wore a broad drooping black hat trimmed
with a bunch of violets. Her hair was
tied in a school girl fashion.
During the examination Evelyn stated
May McKenzie told her in 19:6 that
White had said of Eve'yn ''Nuver mind
I'll get her back."
Delirm continued the examination by
showing Evelyn a bune1 of letters written
bv White, for her identification. She took
the letters one by one and looked them
over carefully and swore that she
recognized them as being in White's hand
writing.
In all there were 42 papers and letters
handed to the vitness nd they became
part of the recori . The presentation of
the lotterscausedgrea; interest and many
rumors about the trial room. Somo say
that were notes written by White to Eve
lyn that will tlmw light on the case and
some declare that they were written attor
her marriage to Thaw.
Dilinasthen asked Evelyn regarding
the stones she had repeated to Thaw as
coming from McKenzie.
"Did you ever state to Thaw about 1906
any conversation you had with May Mc
Kenzie relating to White and yourself?"
Je-ome's objection overruled.
"I told him" eaid Evelyn, '.'That May
vlcKenzie told me that she had had a
conversation with White,' In which she
stated of the nice way that Thaw and
Evelyn were getting along and that they
were so happy together. White replied
that he did not believe It. She told him.
'Yes, it is true.' 'I am so glad,' White
answered, 'Well, it, won't last long. I'll
get her back.' " .
"When you repeated this to your hus
band, what did he say and how did ha
act?" "Acted as ha always did when
White's name was mentioned, got excited .
and gnawed his finger nails."
At 12 o'clock Evelyn Thaw was turned
cv;r to Jerone for crots examination.
Delmas asked "Did you undergo an
operation in 1905?" "Yes." "Who paid
the bills?" "Thaw paid all of the bills." '
How much?" "They amounted to about
i6000 in all. This was paid after wa
were marred." . - . "
In response to questions Evelyn con
tinued "Thaw continually talked of White.
Sometimes he would wander in the night
talking about White or of something ha
did. White was always on his mind."
She then told of her visit to May McKen
zie while in the hospital who said that
White tried to sit with her on th9 bed and
she struggled against him. She then re
cited the efforts of Thaw to get legal
action against White. She told him it
would be impossible bee tuse White was
so influential and that he would be able
to block the proceedings and besides no
body would believe the story.
