WHEAT CROP OF EUROPE
Smaller in Western Countries,
Slightly Larger In Itussia.
WASHINGTON. Sept. 17. The Kuro
pean reports to the Department of Ag
riculture say that the wheat harvest
over the greater part of Europe is al
ready completed. Prospects point to a
smaller harvest than last year in the
lnited Kingdom, the Netherlands. Bel
glum. France, Italy and Portugal.
Eastward of these countries a moderate
increase in the yield is expected.
But. while Russia probably will reap
a slightly heavier crop of wheat than
hist year and a materially larger rye
crop, there is no doubt that the results
will be below the average, even after
makinig liberal allowance for the re
port of Spring wheat. This will conse
quently be the third year of serious
shortage.

FALSE, SAYS PASTOR
Dr. F. Burgette Short Denies
Report of Sermon. .
CHARGE OF INACCURACY
Clerg.rman Declares lie Did Xot
Predict the Destruction of Salt
Lake City Within a Very
Few Vears.
The report, sent out from Cincinnati,
that Dr. Francis Burgette Short, for
merly pastor of the Taylor-street Me
thodist Church, likened Utah, and par
t'cularly Salt Lake City, to Sodom and
Gomorrah, stirred up some feeling
among the members of his congrega
tion in Salt Lake. He is at present the
pastor of the First Methodist Church,
there.
It is reported that Edward P. Kim
ball, organist for the church of which
Dr. Short is now pastor, and assistant
organist at the Mormon Tabernacle,
went so far as to write out his resigna
tion, but that he had it destroyed when
told that In all probability the preacher
had been misquoted.
As soon as the morning papers were
out, September 7, the Monday after he
preached his sermon in Cincinnati which
has caused such a sttr in the ' city
founded by the Mormons, Dr. Short
mailed to his wife a copy of the Cincin
nati Commercial-Tribune, with a letter
saying that It contained a true account
of the service. Dr. Short is said co
have told Mrs. Short in the letter that
he did not predict that Salt Lake City
would be destroyed in five years, and
that he did not compare it with the
cities which were burned because ten
rfcrhtpnuH nersons could not be found
In them. The report of the sermon sent
to Mrs. Short is as follows:
Predicting better days for hi and all
nlh.s rkei.llnn phlirfhO 111 iTtah. Slid de

that commonwealth. Kev. irancn rm
Kette Short. n. D of the First Meth
odist Church of Salt Lake City. Utah, yes
terday morning preached at the Walnut
Hlils M. E. Church a strong sermon on the
Mormon problem.
Dr. Short also spoke at the St. Paul's
Methodist Episcopal Church last nighty on
the same subject.
nr. Short Ik in Cincinnati seeking a-nista-ice
for his church in paying off an
inrtohtPiinpu of filO.OOO. He will ren aln in
this city for several days, after' which he
will visit several other cities. He does not
expert to return to the west for several
In his sermon Dr. Short did not go Into
details concerning the Mormon religion, but
declared that some of the practices and
ceremonies of this sect rival the heathen
Ism across the seas.
Dr. Short believes that the mass of the
Mormon people at heart are as much op
posed to polygamy a. are those of other
religious beliefs. Particularly is this true
In the cases of the younger generation, he
said. He declared that it is only the older
members of tho church who uphold
polygamy.-
The Westorn pastor severely censured
what he termed the recognition of the Mor
mon Church by the United States Senate
when Reed Smoot of Utah was permitted
to take a seat in that body. His condem
nation of this act was very strong.
Although Dr. Short severely criticised
and condemned the teachings and practices
of the Mormon rtliglon. he declared that
among the better classes of its members
no better people are to be found.
He deplored the conditions in his state,
which, he declared, permit more than 200
towns of from 10 to 1000 population to
be without churches of his deaominatiMi.
As an example of good Qualities which,
he said, are to be found among nearly all
members of the Mormon Church. Ir. Short
Bald:
"Even Joseph F. Smith, whom everybody
knows has four wives and 43 children, has
been prominent in liquor fights In Utah and
has urged his people to do everything in
their power to help close every saloon in the
state. 9
"In my work as secretary of the executive
committee of the Anti-Saloon League. I
have been associated with as president of
this body the Honorable William H- King,
a Mormon and a high member of the
church, and putside of his religious beliefs,
I have never met a better man.
"To become familiar with Mormonlsm
and to appreciate the good qualities of the
members of the Mormon Church, It is neces
sary to live among and come In daily con
tact with them."
STANDARD AND FORAKER
(Continued From First Page.)
In fact he Is a representative of the Stan
dard Oil Company. The letter was writ
ten to Mr. Archbold and relates how Mr.
Sibley told Mr. Roosevelt that he should
be careful how he offended the Standard
Oil and that he could not afford to de
pend merely upon the support of the peo
ple. This is the conclusion of the let
ter: . '
"For the first time In my life I told the
President some plain. If unpalatable, truths
as tp the situation politically, and that no
man should win or deserve to win who de
pended upon the rabble rather than upon
the conservative men of affairs.
"I don't know as he really liked all I
said, but he thanked me with apparent
heartiness.
"Anything: you may desire here. In my
power, please advise. -Sincerely yours.
"JOSEPH C. SIBLEY."
"You gentlemen, I, Mr. Hisgen, all of
us are this rabble: seekers after office
cannot depend on us; they need the con
servative citizens, those magnates of the
great criminal trusts."
Mr. Hearst here referred to a complaint
In contempt which had been filed by ex-Attorney-General
B. S. Monnett in the
Ohio Supreme Court alleging an attempt
to Influence his action In a suit against
the Standard Oil Company, and which
complaint was dismissed by Judge Charles
