LAWS OF CHURCH
Mormon Professor Tells How
It Is Governed.
MEMBERS SHUN LAWYERS
Faithful Settle Suits Amicably, but
Church Allows Resort to Civil
Courts Polygamy W as Only
Required of Prophet.
"WASHINGTON. Jan. IS. Professor
James B. Talmage, of the Utah State
University, author of some of the doc
trines accepted aa authoritative teachings
of the Mormon Church, was on the stand
all today In the Smoot Investigation be
fore the Senate committee on privileges
and elections. He gave an interesting ac
count of the church organization and the
church courts, and proved to be "well In
formed on nearly every Bubject of church
policy. He -will continue his testimony
tomorrow.
Professor Talmage "was born In Eng
land and has been a Mormon all his life.
He testified that he is the author of the
book called "Articles of Faith," -which he
prepared at the request of -the first presi
dency. The book was approved and pub
lished by the church. He also revised
the last edition of "The Pearl of Great
Price." He -was a member of the high
council of Utah State in 1884. Professor
Talmage gave a detailed description of
the organization of the Mormon Church.
The apostles, as a body, have no author
ity over the first presidency except In
their advisory capacity, said the witness.
Church courts were described, and Sen
ator Overman asked if the parties to suits
In the church courts are permitted to have
counsel. The witness replied that they
do not have legal counsel, as it Is the
purpose of the church to "steer clear of
the lawyers."
A number of letters showing the action
of the church in appeals of land cases
were shown to Professor Talmage. He
Identified the signatures, and the letters
were offered In evidence to prove that
the church authorities seek to have dis
putes settled amicably, but that they do
not prevent the taking Into civil court of
such matters as involve questions of law.
Professor Talmage, at the afternoon ses
sion, was asked by Mr. Worthlngton if
President Smith could exercise authority
over Senator Smoot, so far as concerns
his duties in the United States Senate: or
to what extent the president of the church
could exercise authority. The witness
said there was nothing to prevent Senator
Smoot from reminding the president of the
church that he (the president) was not
the Senator.
As to polygamy, the witness said plain
English would have to be Interpreted far
differently from the construction he
placed on the marriage revelation to im
ply that there is anything mandatory
about It. He said not one paragraph In
the revelation contalnes an Implication
that polygamy should be mandator' ex
cept upon one man the prophet Joseph
and In 'all other cases polygamy was per
missive. At the death of the prophet
Joseph the command contained in the rev
elation descended to his successor, ac
cording to the construction placed on
Mormon doctrines by the witness. Celes
tial marriage, explained the witness,
means a marriage for llmo and eternity,
or for eternity only.
Mr. Worthinglon had put Into the record
certain acts of the 74th conference of the
Mormon Church and by these brought
out of the -witness the statement that
any woman who became the plural wife
of a man since October G, 1890, is no more
a wife under the rules of the church than
she Is in the eyes of the law.
Professor Talmage said he had partici
pated in or witnessed the endowment cere
monies between one and two-score times.
He denied that the alleged "acts of
vengeance," given by certain witnesses
for the protestants. are a part of the
ceremony and said further that no
"oaths" are taken in the ceromony. The
coligatlons taken, he said, contain noth
ing of the character given by the pro
testant witnesses.
The witness, who is a member of the
"board which exercises supervision over
Sunday school work, said there had been
no Instructions for the use of school
houses for the conduct of religion classes,
and that it had been made clear that the
religious and educational classes should be
kept entirely separate
On cross-examination. Professor Tal
mage said he did not know whether the
plural marriage revelation ever, had been
laid befpre the people to be sustained,
except as It was adopted In the book
known as "Doctrine and Covenants." The
witness said he believed that any woman
who became a plural wife since the man
ifiHto was technically unchaste. He said
he knew of no such marriages and that no
P'-oof had been offered that Abram Can
non had married Lillian Hamlin in 1896.
If such a marriage had taken place, the
witness thought Mr. Cannon had put the
wrong Interpretation on the manifesto.
Mr. Taylor read from an address by
George Q. Cannon to the effect that some
things have been revealed to the Mormon
leaders that could not be made public.
The witness said he did not remember the
address, but that he did not take issue
with the sentiment expressed. Professor
Talmage will continue his testimony to
morrow. FAIL RIVER STRIKE ENDS.
Both Parties Accept Offer of Media
tion by Governor Douglas.
BOSTON. Jan. IS. The strike of the
cotton mill operatives at Fall River, which

wages 10 per cent eight months previbus
ly. The mills affected 'have a combined
capital of $25,000,000 and have 200,000

tunity to subscribe.

cessful and the leaders determined to pro
ceed unaided. The regiment was assem
bled In the- Armory and Lieutenant Quln

the subscriptions so splendidly begun on
Friday night. The cadets responded with
enthusiasm and In a few minutes the $2200

IN FIELD OR BARRACKS
PE-RU-NA IS EFFICACIOUS
The constant exposure to the ele
ments experienced in an outdoor life is
not so apt to cause coughs and colds as
sedentary habits.
Those who are brought face to face

on account of coughs and colds.
No one is exempt. The strong and
healthy are less liable than the weak
