RECALLS CANNON'S MARRIAGE
Brother of Lillian Hamlin Testifies
He Believes She Wedded Apostle on
High Sea Dr. J. M. Buckley
Is Also 'Called.
"WASHINGTON, Dec. 12. Three "wit
nesses were heard today in the case of
Senator Smoot before the Senate commit
tee on privileges and elections. The com
mittee resumed its investigation after a
Jons reeoss. The first witness was Rev.
J. M. Buckley, editor of the Christian Ad
ocate of New York, who told of a Mor
mon meeting he attended in Salt Lake last
Summer, in which President Joseph Smith
declared he would not give up his plural
wives.
George Reynolds, a high official of the
church, testified In rogard to the cere
monies that have taken place In the en
dowment house and concerning ecclesiasti
cal divorces granted by the church, and
John Henry Hamlin told of the plural
marriage of his sister, Lillian Hamlin, to
Apostle Abraham Cannon, which cere
mony he said he understood to have been
performed by President Smith since the
manifesto of 1IX).
Most of the testimony related to the in
side church policy, but did not connect
Senator Smoot with any of the alleged
violations- of state or National statutes.
Women Dominate Among .Spectators.
The room was crowded, women pre
dominating among the spectators, as
was the case last session. Senator
Smoot arrived early, accompanied by
"Waldemar Van Cott. a Salt Lake at
torney, who is assisting A. S. TVorth
ington. of this city, in the conduct of
the defense. . Judge, Franklin S. Rich-,
ards, of ' Salt Lake, adviser to Mormon
witnesses, and Mr. "VVorthington also
were present. Ex-Representative R,
"V. Tayler, of Ohio, 'acted again as
counsel for the protestants. When the
hearing oponed the members of the
committee prosont were Senator Bur
rows, chairman : Foraker, Dubois, Pet
tus and Overman.
The flrst witness called by Mr. Tayler
was Rev. J. M. Buckley, D. D., of New
Jersey, editor of. the Christian Advo
cate of New York. Dr. Buokley told of
visits to Utah in 1901, and again last
June. At that time he attended a joint
convention of the Young Men's and
Young Women's "Unions of Mormonism.
Those who spoke were Brigham H.
Roberts, Elmlra S. Taylor and Presi
dent Smith. The audience was Qsti
. mated by the witness at 11,000 per
sons. The line of Inquiry Introduced
by Attorney Taylor concerning the
meeting was in reference to what had
been said at the convention about
polygamous cohabitation.
The witness said this subject had
not been discussed by Mr. Roberts or
Mr Taylor, but the former told of
"President Smith's unequal conflict
with tho Government," in connection
with the tostlmony given last Winter
before the privileges and olections
committor. Dr. Buckley quoted from
the spooch of President Smith on the
subject of marriage. The witness said
that for 10 or 15 minutes President
Smith had talked of the responsibili
ties of marriage, and how tho contract
is regarded Tjy many persons.
Then." said Dr. Buckley. "President
Smith drew himself to his full height and
pokc on the subject of divorce. He said
that the mothers of his children had been
given him by God and were saints of God.
He deplored the mother-in-law jokos. and
paid that his mothers-in-law were the
best friends Tie had; that they were true
women, worthy of their daughters.'
Dr. Buckley read from another article
on this subject, which said that PresI
oem. &toiui s voice "rang out as strong as
William J. Bryan's, and he defended the
jionnon marriage and declared that
polygamy was not adultery, but was a
system of marriage.
President Smith was quoted by the wit
ness as saying that he could not give
up any of his wives; that it meant eternal
damnation to abandon a multiplicity of
wives.
Dr. Buckley said he had made Inquiry
concerning Sonator Smoot, .and he had
found no one who said one word against
him.
On cross-examination Mr. Worthlnirton
brought out that the statements quoted
from President Smith's speech had not
been reduced to writing until a day or
two later, but the witness declared him
self able to remember so perfectly that
ho can make verbatim quotations from
speeches two or three weeks after they
arc delivered.
Church Official Called.
George Reynolds, a Mormon, living In
Salt Lake, testified that he Is the flrst
assistant superintendent of tho Mormon
Church Sunday School Society, and sec
rctary of the missionary committee of the
apostles, and formerly clerk, or record
cr, of tho Endowment House. This re
lation was severed in about 1S71. The En
dowment House was torn down in 1S90,
but the Temple is, now used for the same
purpose. Mr. Reynolds told the commit
tec he has gH'on certificates of mar
rlage since ho ceased to be recorder of
tho Endowment Houses, in cases where
widows sought -to obtain pensions. He
made the certificates from records in
his possession, but these records he said
had since been removed to the' Temple,
and he has not access. to them now.
In answer to questions by Senator Over
man, Mr. Reynolds said that marriages
were performed with dead persons in the
endowment bureau.
Mr. Tayler then asked If divorces were
granted In tho endowment bureau.
"The church grants divorces to those
who have been married for time and
eternity, but does not divorce legal mar
riages until the courts have acted, said
Mr. Reynolds.
Senator Foraker .asked if such divorces
are granted from dead persons.
"In a few Instances only I should say, '
said the witness.
"For something done after death or be
fore?"
"In life time."
"Is the dead person given an opportu
nity to ba heard?" the Eenator asked.
"No, sir; It Is because such cases are
held to be unjust to the dead accused, so
that few divorces of this kind are
granted," said tho witness.
"Is any one appointed to defend the
accu.ed?"
"Never, but the complainant is given a
hearing If satisfactory evidence is., fur
nished to the church."
"Then it is purely ex parte."
"Purely so.."
Senator Overman was attempting to
bring out what assurance a man may
havo of having his several wives in
heaven If divorces are granted after death.
Church President Has Power.
Mr. Reynolds testified that the presi
dent of the church has always the power
to Issue ecclesiastical services. Mr. Tay
ler read from a republished address by
Brigham Young on the question of the
unhapplness of first wives after plural
marriages had been contracted by the
husbands. In this address President Young
said he was going to give all women until
October 1 (date of address was not of
fered In evidence) to decide whether they
wanted to accept the teachings of the
church. In the event that they did not
want to accept the doctrines. President
Young said he was going to give them
their freedom to go whore they would. He
said he was talking to all women, his own
wives Included, these flrst wives and all
plural wives.
Mr. Tayler asked Mr. Reynolds if that
promise to the women related to President
Young's authority to divorces. The wit
ness said that he thought President Young
did not mean that.
"Then, what did he mean?"
"I thing he was talking about a man
who was annoyed and did not mean what
he said," replied Mr. Reynolds. Continu
ing, he said the action of the president
was based on the same authority In
"Loosing on Earth" or "Binding on
Earth," xeferrlng to divorces and mar
riages.
Tayler showed the witness a contract of
separation between George T. and Ellen
watson, which Mr. Reynolds acknowl
edged he executed In 1897. He was un
able to state whether the marrlasre he
dissolved was a plural one or not.
"Are you a polygamist?" Mr. Tayler
asked.
"Yes, sir," answered Mr. Reynolds.
"Have you any children married in
polygamy?"
"I believe so; one daughter."
"To whom is she married?"
"If married, it Is to Benjamin Clough."
The witness explained that the marriace
had taken place In Mexico, but he had no
knowledge of the ceremony, and never
had made any inquiries concerning It.
It was brought out by Mr. Tayler that
the witness had displayed no. curiosity on
the subject of marriage because he be
lieved the marriage to be a plural one.
Has Twenty-Six Children.
Mr. Reynolds testified that he had 26
children. He gave the names of the seven
presidents of the seventies, of which he
Is fourth in rank. Three of the seven
were polygamlsts. He (Reynolds) had
two wives now.
Senator Dubois asked Mr. Heynolds if
his daughter or her husband had been
cut off from the church because of the
marriage. The witness said that both of
them had been In Mexico, and had never
been before the church authorities for
trial.
Mr. Reynolds said he was one of the
advisers who aided In perfecting the
Woodruff manifesto, which was first sub
mitted in President Woodruffs handwrit
ing. He testified that the committee had
revised the manifesto. "I believe the
manifesto is said to have been inspired?"
asked Chairman Burroughs.
"It was a revelation from the Al
mighty."
"And you changed it?"
"Not the meaning."
"You just changed the phraseology?"
"Yes, sir."
"Then, as I understand it." said Sen
ator Burroughs, "when this revolatlon
came from the Almighty, the grammar
was bad, and you corrected It."
The wltnoss said the phraseology had
not been Inspired, but was President
Woodruff's own. This testimony kept the
committee-room in an uproar.
John Henry Hamlin, of Salt Lake City.
the brother of Lillian Hamlin, who the
protestants have tried to show was mar
ried to Apostle Abraham Cannon on the
high seas In 1S96. said it was the family
convlotlon that bis sister was married to
Mr. Cannon In the Summer of 1S96. and
that the ceremony was performed by
President Smith on the Pacific Coast

"well, nobody doubts that the child Is
Abraham Cannon's daughter?" asked Mr.
xayier.
"No, Sir," was the reply.
On cross-examination, the witness said
he had no positive proof that his sister
had married Cannon. His sister had at
tended the funeral services of Mr. Can
non, and her child inherited the estate of
Mr. Cannon. Mr. Hamlin said he had
heard from his wife that Lillian .had been
married to Mr. Cannon, and that the cere
mony had been performed on the high
seas by the president of the church. He
admitted he had kept-track of all of his
other sisters, hut did not know n.-hMtn.r
his sister Lillian was now In Mexico or
Canada.
The committee then adjourned until to
morrow.

fore unable to make an immediate attack,
pending the discovery of the nature of the
Russian precautions and the condition of
the forts still held by the Russians which
cover the position of the Sevastopol. The
discovery that the Russian destroyers are
not anchored in the shelter of the Llaotl-
shan Mountain, but are lying behind cover
of three hospital ships flying the Red
Cross flag, has prompted the Japanese to
make efforts to ascertain whether there is
merely a coincidence or whether the Rus
sians are abusing the Red Cross flag. In
the latter event the Japanese, though ear-
nestly desirous of observing the stlpula-
tlons of the Geneva convention, would
nevertheless feel constrained to open fire
on the destroyers.

FORTRESS WELL PROVISIONED
Capitalist Declares He Knows It Can
Hold Out Three Months.
CHICAGO. Dec. 12. (Special.) The Chi
cago Dally 'News has a Hong Kong dis
patch from a staff correspondent today
which says:
"According to a leading-capitalist of tho
Chinese coast, who has financed many
efforts to run the blockade to Port Arthur,
it has been ascertained that the fortress
Is well provisioned, and unless carried by
assault can hold out for throe months. Ho
estimates the garrison at 15,000 .men. The
main shortage, he says. Is In big gun
ammunition, but there is- enough of all
kinds to last for some time.
"Steamers of- all .kinds arc in great de
mand on the Chinese coast. They are be
ing bought by both belligerents for hos
pital ships, transports and colliers. It Is
believed in Shanghai shipping circles that
the Baltic -fleet will make Its base In the
Pescadores Islands, the only typhoon war
ship anchorage near Formosa. I am in
formed on excellent authority that the
warships will be able to break their way
through the Ice to Vladivostok, In case
the fall of Port Arthur should take place
before the arrival of the relieving fleet."

Expected Reinforcements.
ST. PETERSBURG, Dec. 13 (7 A. M.)
The, Cap tain Clado case promises to pass
the limits of a mere perfunctory arrest
for breach of discipline and possibly to
become a celebrated case in Russia. The
Novoe Vremya this morning outspokenly
takes up the Captain's demand, made
yesterday, for a courtirjartial. declaring
that both as an honorable officer and as
an expert naval critic. Captain Clado
spoke nothing but the truth, which should
be clearly presented to the Nation, and
adds:
"Foreign reports of the sinking of the
remnant of the Port Arthur squadron
emphasize the urgency of reinforcing
Rojestvensky and prove that the warn
ing should have been heeded rather than
punished."
The Russ simultaneously prints a letter
over Captain Clado's signature, reiterat
ing all he has previously said concern
ing the necessity of reinforcing Rojest
vensky, and declaring that the Admiral
before starting for the Far East expected
that this would be done.

"Three, years of delicate health
trying doctors' prescriptions and
patent medicines" without benefit
might well sap the courage of any
woman. And yet Mrs. Bryant proved
that the question of the cure of wom
anly disease is only a question of
using the right remedy. A few doses
of 'Favorite Prescription restored
her courage and revived her hope,
because she could see "a decided
change from the first,'' Three
months' use of the medicine re
stored her to perfect health.
Dr. Pierce's Favorite Prescription
cures irregularity, dries weakening
drains, heals inflammation and. ul
ceration, and cures female weakness.
Mrs. Sarah Bryant, President of Memphis
Social Science Club, residing at 271 Atkinson
Ave., Memphis, Tenn., writes: "I suffered
with delicate health for three years, trying'
doctors prescriptions and patent saedianea
until I lost courage and thought 1 would
never regain my health; but a few doees of
your 'Favorite Prescription' made mechange
my rniud. Could see a decided change from
the first, so I kept on taking it for three
months faithfully and am now in perfect
health."
Dr. Pierce's Medical Adviser, in
