Mormon President Acknowledges That He Has
Violated the National taw Against Plural
Marriage and Def ends, His Church
. (Journil SpfH.l 8erlce.)
Washington, March 4. At the opening
of the. Srnoot hearing i this morning,
President Smith was questioned by Sen
ator Hoar a to' whether women had any
ecclesiastical authority in-the Mormon
church. Smith said that while as vot
ers women were given recog-nit'lon with
men, priestly authority was denied them.
They were not , eligible to election - as
president, apostles, counsellors, or any
ot the-' general "Officers rot.' the church.
Upon the acceptance or rejection, of any
revelations,, the vote of any t woman
member Of the church Is just as power
ful as the vote of the witness himself.
Reading from a copy of the Salt Lake

ing a speech made by Smith in. which
he said the principle of plural marriages
was revealed from. God and any one who
denied the divine origin of that doctrine
might as well deny other truths. AUor

of the article.. Smith said It was cor

did not believe In continuing .the prac
tice. , He had accepted the proclamation
against it in good faith. ; i. -
..Chairman Burrows asked if he believed-he
had obeyed the law- when he
has five wives and has had 11 children
by them since the date of the manifesto.
"1 have already said that in that re
spect I have not obeyed the-law," re
plied the witness. : "I preferred to dis
obey rather, than abandon the children
and their mothers. The church as a
church has obeyed the law, but I as n
Individual have taken' that chance."
When, questioned as to the right oi
the first wife to object to the taking
of other- wives by her husband, Smith,
after, reading from a revelation which
said that If the wife did not consent
she should be destroyed by the Lord,
declared that her opinion had no weight
at all on the subject.'. All presidents of
the - church and all those prominent in
business and - professional - circles in
Utah, he said, had been men with plural
wives. ; Senator Hoar, referring to the
scriptural injunction, that a bishop of
the church should be sober and have one
wife, was interrupted by the witness
1th the. interjection, "at least" That
Injunction," Smith said, "was made to
the people of Judea who were In the
midst , of polygamous poople." It was
obligatory on a bishop to have one wife
because It was recognized that a bishop
should be an experienced man. .Much
laughter was excited by this explanation.
Smith positive! denied that any pub
lic teaching of the principle of polygamy
nad taken place since 1890, despite the
assertions of the, antl-Mormdn "press.
A recess was then taken.
This afternoon Taylor will read the
complete revelation regarding polygamy
and extracts from other standard works
of the church,'
