HOW NORTHWEST MEN VOTED.
OTVBGONIAN NEWS BUREAU,
Washington. Feb. 20. Senator Fulton
and Mulkey, a. veil as Senators
Pilot, Ankeny nd Heyburn, voted- for
Senator Smoot on all three rot leal Is In
the Sena-te today.
Senator Dubois, leader of .the anti
Smoot fight, showed his keen disap
pointment at the large vote which
Smoot received. He had contended to
the last that Smoot would be ousted.
WASHINGTON. Feb. 20. Senator Smoot
retains his seat in the United States
Senate. This was decided today by a
vote of 42 to 28. ending a long contest.
Eighteen Senators were paired, making
the actual standing on the resolution 51
for and 37 against. Smoot did not vote
and Wetmore was absent and not paired.
The Smoot resolution was called up soon
after the Senate convened. Every seat
In the galleries was filled and during the
actual voting the standing room on the
floor was crowded by members of the
House and employes of the Senate. Sel
dom has there been a proceeding affecting
the standing of a Senator that has at
tracted such marked attention. In the
audience were representatives of a num
ber of prominent women's organizations
which have been active In circulating and
having presented petitions of remon
strance against Smoot. These women se
cured many thousands of signatures to
their petitions.
Two-Thirds Vote Required.
Numerous speeches have been made for
and against Smoot since the resolution
to unseat him was reported from the
committee on privileges and elections,
Just prior to the adjournment of Congress
last . year. Today Dubois, Hansbrough,
Newlands; Bacon and Burrows, the last
named chairman of the commitee. spoke
against Smoot, while Beverldge, Dolliver
and Foraker spoke for him.
When the voting began Smoot retired
to the Republican cloak-room to await
the result. Hopkins offered his amend
ment o the committee resolution and it
was adopted. Under this a two-thirds
vote , would have been necessary-to carry
the resolution, which declared that Smoot
It not entitled to his seat. Carmack then
offered as a substitute for the amended
resolution a simple resolution declaring
that Smoot should be "expelled." The
effect of this would be to displace the
committee resolution, if adopted, and it
was defeated. Then came the vote on
the committee resolution as amended,
which was as follows:
"Resolved, Two-thirds of the Senators
present concurring therein, that Reed
Smoot is not entitled to a seat as a
Senator of the United States from the
State of Utah."
Some Surprises in Vote.
' Although it was a foregone conclusion
that the resolution would fall, and thus
end the long fight against the Utah Sena
tor, the rollcall contained some surprises.
Of the 42 votes in favor of Smoot. three
were cast by Democrats. They were
Blackburn. Clark of Montana and Daniel.
Teller was paired in favor of Smoot. Of
the 2S votes against Smoot. nine were
Republicans. They were Burrows, Clapp,
Dupont, Hale, Hansbrough, Hemenway
Kittredge, La Follette and Smith.
' At the conclusion of the voting there
was a rush of Senators to the cloak-room
to congratulate Smoot. A large number
of the members of the House followed,
and there the .senior Utah Senator was
patted on the back and his hands were
shaken In hearty fashion by men who
expressed their admiration of his hearing
in the long and trying ordeal through
which he had passed. On the floor of
the Senate and in the gallaries It was
many minutes before order could be re
stored. Hopkins and Dubois Spar.
. The proceedings opened with a short
skirmish to secure a division of time
among those desiring to speak for and
against the resolution. When Hopkins
suggested a division of time, there were
many negative observations among Sen
ators. "That Is a procedure of the House,
where they have no preliminary law, and
I object." asserted Money. Fifteen 'min
utes were occupied In discussing the
question of procedure. Then further ef
forts in that direction were abandoned,
and Dubois took the floor In opposition
to Smoot. He charged that Senators sup
porting the Utah Senator had taken ad
vantage of all the tactics of special
pleading. When he declared that Hop
kins had put the Mormon Church above
11 other Christian organizations, Hop
kins sought to Interrupt.
"I will not yield." declared Dubois,
with some heat: "you would not permit
me to Interrupt you."
"But the Senator is making an absolute
misrepresentation." shouted Hopkins.
Dubois said the only fair speech that
had been made Tor Smoot had been by
the Junior Senator from Utah, Suther
land. "He would not have dared to utter on
thifl floor what other Senators have ut
tered." he added, "because he knows bet
ter the actual conditions in Utah."
Takes Issue With Knox.
Dubois .took direct issue with Knox's
statement that "polygamy In Utah has
ended."
"Five out of the 12 apostles have gone
Into it since the manifesto," said Dubois.
"The president of the church . performed
the ceremony between an apostle and
his fourth wife."
Turning his attention to Smoot, Dubois
remarked:
"Senator Smoot is the son of a polyg
amlst. His father had four wives. When
he reached the age of manhood, he mar
ried the daughter of a fourth wife of
her father. I would not say this If it
hurt the feelings of the Senator. It does
not. No one In Utah will blame him for
it. Many will honor him."
Concluding, Dubois declared there were
not ten Senators who would vote for Reed
Smoot If they had read the testimony.
Beveridge followed with a plea for
Smoot's retention. He believed the great
est wrong that could be done any man
was the ruin of his reputation when his
life had 'been stainless.. The millions, of
petition-signers against Smoot, he said,
expressed the sentiments of a misin
formed public.
Beverldge Exposes Burrows.
Senator Beveridge referred to the re
cent speech of Burrows, saying:
The Senator from Michigan quoted from an
address of Mr. Smoot before a Mormon con
gregation .in Salt Lake City, made in 1905,
since he has been a Senator. This was to
show the Senate that Reed Smoot is now the
upholder of crime and the advocate of all the
practices of his church in the past. Yet of
this quotation, set out as a single passage,
its Ave sentences are selected from five dif
ferent portions of the address, varying from
tvooto1600words. apart. Isolated from their
eontext"and Rearranged. Worse than that, two
of them were altered. "Worse than that, the
address was not on the subject of polygamy
at all or on any other violation of the law,
but upon the expenditures of the church funds
which the church authorities had been charged
with spending corruptly. Yet this alleged quo
tation Is used to blacken the Senator, and so
effectively that the Senator from Arkansas
based most of hla - speech upon it.
Mr. Beveridge disposed of what he re
garded as the charge of treason against
Smoot In that he had taken a church
oath against his country by giving the
record of Mormons in the recent war.
They had fought and died for their
country.
Carmack offered a substitute resolu
tion, providing "that Reed Smoot. Sena
tor from Utah, be expelled from the
Senate." It would, he said, require a
two-thirds vote of the Senators to adopt
this substitute. Previous to the recent
speech of Knox, Carmack said it had
been his intention to vote for the com
mittee resolution. Knox had demonstrat
ed that the commitee resolution wag an
attempt to do by a majority vote what
should be done under the Constitution
only by a two-thirds vote. .
Hansbrough on Mormon Rule.
.Hansbrough supported the resolution In
a brief speech in which he denounced
Mormonlsm with vigor. He said:
"I shall cast my vote in favor of the
resolution now pending. Were I to do
otherwise I would feel that I had con
doned every offense ever committed
against good morals and the written laws
of the country by the Mormon Church."
He denounced the action of the Mormon
managers in sending to the Senate one
of the active apostles of the Mormon
Church as "another sample of brazen
effrontery in further defying the public
sentiment of the country relative to the
obnoxious Institutions for which they are
responsible. Having entrenched itself In
political power in many states and terri
tories, Mormonlsm comes here seeking a
clean bill of health in the form of an
Indorsement of all its flagrant misdeeds.
The defeat of this resolution will be
tantamount to putting the seal of official
approval upon a conspiracy conceived, as
I believe, in treasonable antagonism to
our republican institutions."
He declared that the establishment of
a Mormon society in any city or village
was met with a storm of protest. He pro
ceeded: Higher Law Than Constitution.
"After the most serious consideration of
the question I have been unable to reach
any other conclusion than that in this
very peculiar and exceptional case my
action must be controlled by a law more
profoundly fundamental than the liberal
texts which have furnished the eloquent
arguments of Senators with whom I am
obliged to. disagree. In dealing with the
dangerous doctrine of an Institution es
tablished upon the principle that it is su
perior to the governmental system under
which we live, we can afford to arise
above conventional constitutional con
struction. The higher law should be In
vokedthe unwritten law embraced in the
inherent duty of every citizen of the Re
public to defend the written Instrument
from the assaults of those who would
destroy it."
He denied that Mormonlsm found 'its
inspiration in religious convictions and
had no sympathy with an organization
whose oath-bound members array them
selves in "the livery of heaven" in order
that they may gain control of temporal
affairs, social and commercial. He then
said:
"In this respect the Mormon Church Is
not curiously unique. Its scheme of sal
vation Is based wholly upon its success
in dominating the political fortunes In
which It conducts its operations. With
out this advantage It would be a failure.
Once In political control. It moves rapidly
forward until it acquires commercial su
premacy. At all times the saving of souls
is but an Incidental part of its strange
business."
He regarded the present as an oppor
tunity to give a check to the strange and
devious course of Mormonlsm.
Smoot Model Citizen.
Senator Foraker, who followed Mr.
Hansbrough, said:
No ease whatever has been made that will
Justify us in either declaring vacant ithe
seat or expelling the Senator from Utah.
Reed Smoot has proved a better character
than any other Senator here has a right to
claim. He is so good a man that 1 almost
doubt him. He does not drink, smoke, chew
or swear, and he is not a polygamlst.
Bacon gave his reason why he should
vote against Smoot to be that, as an
apostle and member of the governing
body of the Mormon Church, Smoot
countenanced polygamy and a union of
church and state.
There was no one who had a more
perfect hatred of Mormonlsm than
himself, said Dolliver. but after a care
ful study of the testimony, he could
not Justify a vote to expel Smoot from
the Senate.
Burrows' Final Appeal.
At 2:15 P. M. Burrows took the floor
to make the concluding address. He
dealt at length with the contention
that the constitution prescribed the
qualifications of Senators. What the
constitution really did in this respect
was to make certain limitations which
must be complied with, the Senate it-'
self to be the Judge of all other quali
fications of its members. Burrows be
lieved Smoot had taken a secret oath
"to avenge the blood of the prophets
upon this Nation." He also spoke in
severe condemnation, of Mormon prac
tices as developed by the testimony.

MOODY WILL FIGHT HARD
Miss Lang's Term Nearly Ended and
Senators Claim Both Appoint
ments Moody Has Strong
Official Backing.
OREGONIAN NEWS BUREAU, W'ash
lngton, Feb. 20. It is understood that no
successor to Register Nolan, of The Dalles
Land Office, will be selected immediately.
On the contrary, it is believed this ap
pointment will be deferred until after
March 4, when Senators Fulton and
Bourne will Join in recommending not
only Nolan's successor, but a successor to
Miss B. L. Lang, the Receiver, whose
term . expires March 3. x
Mr. Nolan's removal Is attributable to
the fight made on him by Malcolm Moody,
who accomplished his end through For
ester Plnchot and Secretary Hitchcock.
When Mr. Nolan, formerly Mr. Moody's
lieutenant, turned and attacked the ex
Congressman, Mr. Moody got busy
through Mr. Plnchot and Mr. Hitchcock.
The acceptance of Nolan's resignation
was withdrawn at this late day, just as
Hitchcock was about to retire. Mr. Nolan
was dismissed for Insubordination and
making charges which it is contended
were not true. On the other hand, Mr.
Nolan, it Is understood Insists he was not
given a fair show, but was crowded out
under pressure.
Hot Patronage Fight On.
This patronage fight has really just be
gun, and, while Mr. Moody won the first
round, he will have trouble In having
Miss Lang retained in office after the ex
piration of her term, for the Oregon Sen
ators keenly resent Mr. Moody's Interfer
ence and will probably exert their influ
ence to force Misa Lang to retire, espe
cially as she is Mr. Moody's personal ap
pointee and friend.
The Dalles contest will be one between
the 'Moody and anti-Moody forces, and
will determine whether the President. In
filling Oregon positions. Intends to give
ear to Mr. Moody or the two Oregon Sen
ators. Mr. Plnchot is standing stanchly
by Mr. Moody, and Mr. 'Plnchot is closer
to Secretary Garfield than he is to Hitch
cock. Through Mr. Plnchot Mr. Moody
will reach the new Secretary and the
President, and the Senators, in order to
fill both positions at The Dalles, will have
to overcome Mr. Moody's influence.
Senators Will Win in End.
Mr. Moody, it Is understood, is at
tempting not only to hold Miss Lang In
office, but to go further and name Mr.
Nolan's successor. .
In the event that Mr. Moody should win
out and persons of his selection should
be appointed to The Dalles, they would
never be confirmed, as both Senators
would unquestionably oppose their con
firmation, and with both standing to
gether the Senate would respect their
wishes. However, up to this time neither
Mr. Fulton nor Mr. Bourne will say a
word about Mr. Nolan or Miss Lang, nor
will either give the slightest intimation
of what action they contemplate taking.

BESOLD'S NECK IS SAVED
I-os Angeles Wife Murderer Guilty
int Second Degree.
LOS ANGELES. Feb. 20. Anton Besold,
the Bavarian butcher charged with the
murder of his wife, whose body was
found in Temescal Canyon, a month after
she was killed, was this evening found
guilty of murder in the second degree.
The evidence against Besold was entirely
circumstantial and his attorneys offered
no defense whatever.
The body of Mrs. Cladie Besold. who
was afflicted with tuberculosis, was found
last August. It was in an advanced
stage of decomposition, and for a time
was not recognized. It was through a
laundry mark on a garment that the
attention of officers was directed to the
disappearance of Mrs. Besold and the
subsequent departure of her husband.
It was established that Besold and his
wife had gone to the beach together about
a month before the body was found and
that the husband remained there alone,
telling friends that his wife had gone
for a visit. Besold then made a visit to
his former home In Belllngham. "Wash.,
where he told friends that his wife was
dead. A few days after the body was
found Besold returned to this city and
was married under an assumed name to a
woman whom he deserted within ten days.
He fled to Washington, D. C, where
he was arrested.
