EVERYTHING IS KEPT SECRET
Judge Called in Smoot Case Consid
ers Interference In Worldly Affairs
a Worse Feature Than
"Polygamy.
WASHINGTON. April 23. When the In
vestigation of the Smoot case opened to
day, Judge O. W. Powers was again called
to the stand. He referred to a petition pre
pared by supporters of Moses Thatcher for
Senator, addressed to the Senate of the
United States alleging that church Influ
ence had been used in the election and
asking for an Investigation. Another in
stance of church interference had been
shown, he said, in the Mayoralty contest
at Provo, -when Reed Smoot favored the
candidacy of George Sutherland. The wit
ness said Smoot was held in disfavor
with the church and charged "with going
to the liberal party.
Senator Overman asked if women were
elected to the Legislature in Utah. The
witness answered in the affirmative, and
said a woman was chairman of the ju
dicial committee of the House in the Leg
islature "which elected Mr. Smoot as Sena
tor. "Did she vote for Smoot?" asked
Senator Overman.
"I understand she did."
Senator Dubois Judge Powers, what
do you regard the chief exhibition of
church domination over political af
fairs that has come to your notice?'
"It occurred at the April, 1S9 6, con
ference, when the political rule, that is,
the manifesto against Mormons entor
lng politics without consent of church
authorities, -was adopted. This rule
was adopted without a dissenting vote,
and at the same conference Moses
Thatcher was droppod from the rolls
as an apost1-?, and no explanation of
any character was made."
Senator McComas How do the young
men in the Mormon Church regard the
practice of polygamy?
Young Mormons Oppose Practice.
"I think the young Mormon men and
women, too, are opposed to the practice
strongly opposed, although I confess
I cannot understand the power the
church is able to exert over them. I
believe, however, that if the church
authorities should attempt to ro-estab-llsh
polygamy, by revelation or other
wise, there would be trouble."
In regard to continuation of polyga
mous cohabitation, Judge Powers said
that some look upon this -condition with
tolerance, and others witli open-hostility.'
Several Senators engaged in the
discussion of the future of polygamy,
and Judge Powers said he believed the
practice could not last any more than
could slavery. Continuing, he said:
"But I do not regard polygamy as the
worst feature of the Mormon religion.
What I object to most Is its un-American
domination by the hierarchy of the people
of that belief the belief In the right
of the church authorities to prescribe
rules, the belief that the head of the
church is Inspired, and interference of
the church in political and commercial af
fairs." Senator Hopkins The same charge
about commerce can be made against
other churches In a limited way, can it
not?
"Not as I make the statement here,"
said Mr .Powers.
"I do not know of any other church that
conducts bathing beaches, street railways,
electric light and power plants, banks
mines and mills, and that attempts to
control National politics for the purpose
of obtaining concessions and franchises "
Senator Hopkins There Is the Methodist
Church in Chicago, of which I am a mem
ber. It engages in business, and I have
always supported that idea.
Attorney Worthingtbn said: "And the
'Trinity Church in New York also owns
and rents property."
"But, as I understand it. Judge Powers
means that the Mormon church Is a trust
and owns and controls great commercial
institutions," said Senator McComas.
Says Church Is Trust.
"That is it; it is a trust," said Judge
Powers.
Senator Bailey asked Senator Hopkins
and Mr. Worthlngton if the Methodist
Church in Chicago, and Trinity Church
in New York, engaged in mercantile af
fairs, and both admitted that the business
consisted mostly In owning property and
receiving rents. Senator Dubois suggest
ed that if comparisons of power of the
Mormon and Methodist Church were to
be made it would be well to summon the'
Bishop of the Methodist Church to tes
tify. "If you were as well acquainted with
Methodism as I am. It would not be nec
essary to summon a bishop," retorted
Senator Hopkins. "However, I may not
be so well acquainted with Mormonism."
Judge Powers continued in the line of
making it clear the Mormon Church con
trolled business in Utah to a large degree,
and it was protected by secrecy which
was hard to get at.
Senator Overman remarked that there
was no secrecy in Methodism and there
fore comparisons were unnecessary.
An adjournment was then taken until
2 o'clock.
The cross-examination of Judge Powers
began at the afternoon session. Ques
tions by Mr. Vancott brought out state
ments from the witness that he believed
the Mormon Church would eventually as
sume a position similar to that of other
churches. With honest, upright and law
abiding leaders, he thought the people
would be honest and law-abiding. He
deplored, however, that the people were
disposed to obey the leaders of the church,
whether such leaders were good or bad.
Judge Powers admitted that Mr. Smoot
had been prominent in working for Re
publican Interests, before politics divided
in Utah on party lines. It was brought out
that Judge Powers was chairman of the
committee which nominated Brigham Rob
erts and Moses Thatcher, both of whom
were Mormons. The witness said the
nominations were the result of the ability
"5T both men ana their courage in standing
out against the political rule of the
church. The witness said he had not been
on the stump for Roberts and defended
him. Continuing, he said to Mr. Vancott:
"I do not think I was any more culpable
than you were, who, I understand, went
on the stump and supported the ticket
without mentioning Mr. Roberts' name."
The opposing candidate was Eldredge,
another Mormon, but not a polygamlst
Judge Powers said, however, that the ,dls
tlnctlon was without a difference, as' El
dredge connived at, aided and abetted
polygamy. The cross-examination was
concluded, but the witness was requested
to remain in the city until Monday, to
which time the committee adjourned.

SHADOWED BY JAPANESE.
Spies In France Are Trying to Learn
Plans of Russians.
ST. PETERSBURG, April 23. The
Rusk! Slavo prints a letter from an
official in the French secret service which
reports the presence of numerous Japan
ese spies In France, well provided with
money. They shadow Russians and
watch the shipyards. Especially do they
endeavor to ascertain the exact date of
the departure of the Baltic fleet and the
points en route at which It will coal.
The Novosti states that the Russians
should feel gratified at tho strategical
achievement of the naval squadron, which
Imposed caution upon the Japanese op
erations and gave Russia time to throw
a preponderlng military force into Man
churia. The most favorable time, the
Novosti continues, for Japanese military
operations has passed.
A letter written by Colonel Apagef, an
officer of marines on the Petropavlovsk,
who was drowned, describes the routine

Officers of Liner From Orient Expect
Her Soon to Wipe Out Defeats.
ASTORIA, Or., April 23. Officers of the
steamship Indrasamha, arriving this after
noon from Far Eastern points, do not
share the belief heretofore expressed that
the Japanese will defeat Russia In the
war now raging. They say Russia will
soon recover from the defeats adminis
tered -by the Japanese on tho water, and
turn the tables on the Mikado's subjects.
Unlike other steamship officers, the Indra
samha's men are anti-Japanese, with lit
tle faith In Japan's ability to win.
Among- the cabin passengers are two
Japanese millionaires bound for the
World's Fair. These gentlemen are san
guine as to the outcome of the war, and
through an interpreter expressed the con
viction that Japan would soon annihilate
the Russian forces on land and on sed:
"We get more accurate Information as
to the progress of the war right here in
the United States than In Japan," said
the first officer of the Indrasamha. "The
Japanese refuse to Impart any Informa
tion to strangers, of whom they are In
tensely suspicious.
"All Japanese harbors are heavily
mined. The mines are not permitted to
remain long in one positlpn, but are fre
quently shifted. Government tugs guide
vessels Into and out of all harbors, and
the utmost caution is observed by the
Japanese to see that hostile interests are
not placed In possession of any Informa
tion." CHINA MAY RECALL MINISTER

consequences to the relations between
Russia and China. China's action. It is
noted, follows the report that Viceroy
Alexleff had requested the retirement of
the. Chinese troops.
It Is also reported that the Chinese
Minister at. St, Petersburg will be re
called. Although the latter report Is de
nied, there Is reason to believe that it
has some foundation.
Minister's Movements Excite Russia.
ST. PETERSBURG. April 23,-Some-thing
of a sensation was caused here this
afternoon by a report spread far and wide
that the Chinese Minister, Hoo Wei Teh,
was packing up preparatory to departing
from St Petersburg, and visions of Im
mediate war were conjured up.
The Associated Press Investigated the
rumor and ascertains that the only foun
dation for it was the fact that the Min

Gatshlna. 30 miles from St Petersburg,
for which place he will shortly leave the

Miles Above WIju.
SEOUL, Corea, April 23. Advices re
ceived hero state that the Japanese lines
now extend 30 miles along the Yalu River,
reaching from Yongampho to ten miles
above Wiju. The Russians are strongest
at Antung. Tiger Hill Is, as It was In the

tion. Three islands, one above and two
below Wiju, will facilitate an attack, as
they offer a base for artillery to cover the

NEW YORK. April 23. Somo sensation
has been caused in Berlin, says a Herald
dispatch, by a rumor to the effect that
Germany has ceded to Russia certain tor
pedoboats building in private yards,
which are on the point of completion!
Eight of these, which are being built by
the Schlchau yards, are the largest tor
pedoboats as yet constructed in Germany,
being 550 tons, with an average speed of
28.
In order to prevent a breach of neutral
ity it would be necessary that the Ger
man Government annul Its contract with
the yard, leaving the builders free to do
as they please with tho torpedoboats.
Russia on Point of Making Loan.

JAPAN'S LONELY HJTTJItE.
Race and Color Line Between East
and West.
Shanghai Correspondence London Dally News.
Japan looks far Into the future, and
sees that her path Is very lonely. Among
the nations of earth she Is absolutely Iso
lated. All Europe Is a family-quarreling
now here, now there, yet kin and like.
America Is of the same blood; and all
the rest of the earth has been swallowed
up the whole world, except this tiny
Island empire at the remotest corner of
Asia. Her own kindred on one side, Fili
pinos, Malays, Kanakas, Maoris, have
for a long time been mere chattels
bought and sold, and tossed about from
one white race to the other. Her kindred
on the other side, the Tartar and Slbiric
races, from Khiva to Kamchatka, from
the Gurkhas to the Gllyaks, have ceased
to exist as Independent peoples; those not
already absorbed by Europe are "on the
list" for absorption in due course. Japan's
two nearest relatives of all, Corea and
China can something be made out of
them? Japan's future existence depends
on her ability to drive a little energy into
these two, arid drum them into some sort
of shoulder-to-shoulder movement, before
the last of the yellow races goes the way
of tho brown and red and black, drawn
Into the smelting furnace of benevolent
assimilation, from which no colored race
ever returns to life.
Japan has before her a stupendous
struggle for life. Perhaps not now; not
this year, but for a hundred years to
come. People in Europe do not realize
this, simply because they are in Europe.
If you never wore a permanent "colored
complexion" you cannot realize what the
race question Is; you can have no Idea
of the colored side of It Out here, as
convincingly as that the sun means light
una warmui, so a Drown or yellow skin
means Inferiority, subjection, to most
people, and the Japanese-are bitterly re
minded In thousands of little, unintended
ways. It Is no mere matter of amour
propre, but of life and death for tho na
tion. The destiny of the subject peoples
stares them in the face, and they nerve
themselves to resist It It is not merely
Russia, It Is tho all-devouring white race,
and If the Russian portion happens to be
the most in evidence, that Is a mere de
tail. Had the islands been on the other
side of the Pacific, they would have been
attacked Dy toe wnite savages who ob
literated such advanced civilizations as
those of Peru and Mexico, and who
crushed such sturdy fighters as the Sioux
and Iroquois. Or, situated otherwise,
Japan might have been treated with
deference, like her cousin Nepal, or like
Afghanistan; or she might have been
simply grabbed, like Madagascar; or
Christianized and demoralized, like the
Philippines In Spanish days; or slaugh
tered, like Bokhara: 6r charter-com-panled,
like Borneo and Africa. But these
are only varying phases" of one unbroken
story; oil and water cannot mix, and
tho white race cannot let the colored
races live as Independent nations. All
things considered, Japan might have had
a harder nut to crack than Russia.

THE TESTIMONIALS GIVEN HERE ARE ONLY FOUR OF
THOUSANDS OF TESTIMONIALS FROM THANKFUL WOMEN.
Mrs. C. Morrison, 1030 S. New Jersey St, Indianapolis, Ind., writes:
"Some months ago I contracted a severe cold returning from the
theater. This cold settled in my head and developed into catarrh of
the head and nose, and I know of nothing more obnoxious. Every
morning when I arose my head was all stopped up, throat dry and
parched, and I would have to spray for half an hour before I could
clear the head. I noticed that Peruna was advertised as a certain cure
for catarrh, so I tried what it would do for me, and found after four
weeks' use that it had cleared my head and throat, leaving no trace
of catarrh. I therefore wish to add, my testimony to the many you
have as to the efficacy of Peruna." Mrs. 0. Morrison.

Health Hints
For April
tarrh. Spring fever, and so forth, in splto
of slush, sleet, rain or sudden changes
ui temperature.
If, however, you are already the vic
tim of a cough, loose or tight, catarrh,
acute or chronic, the remedy that re
lieves readily, cures quickly and restores
permanently Is Peruna.
A few doses of Peruna at the begin
ning of a cold will change the entire
course of events. It operates directly on
all the mucous membranes, so that no
matter where the cold may have settled.
It Is bound to be reached by this search
ing remedy. Peruna absolutely prevents
catarrh from fastening itself upon any
part of tho organism.
Cure a Cold before It Develops
Into Catarrh.
Miss Alice O'Neill, 312 Adams street,
Brooklyn, N. Y., writes:
"I cannot say too
much In favor of
Peruna. About a
year ago I was
completely worn
out, had a serious
cold and a hard
cough. which
seemed to be In
danger of affecting
my lungs. If my
system had been In
a stronger condi
tion It would have
been much easier
to throw off this f'l ' . 'T. . r L
cold, but I ." UffigLAuco-Nwul
not seem to get- any relief until I took
Peruna, and I must say that it did the
work thoroughly. Within a week I could
see a wonderful Improvement and I took
Peruna four weeks and am In perfect
health now." Miss Alice O'Neill.
Miss Lydia Herziger, Grand Recorder
of American Daughters of Independence,
writes from Neenah, Wis., as follows:
"I have used Peruna now for four years,
each Spring and Fall, and it keeps me
perfectly ell and strong. I am able to
continue working and do not have to
take a three months' rest, as I used to
do every year. This Is a great comfort to
me, as I was not able to afford such a
long rest I find that it is a great pre
ventive for colds and coughs and soon
rids the system of all disease and Is an
admirable medicine." Lydia Herziger.
Mrs. Frances Wilson. 32 Nelson street,
Clinton, Mass., writes:
"Had you seen me at tho time of my
illness and now, you would not wonder
that I take delight In sounding the praises
of Peruna. My ailment was a severe
cold, which attacked the bronchial tubes
and lungs. I followed your special direc
tions and after using six bottles of Pe
runa I was on my feet again. I think
Peruna a wonderful medicine."
