Portland, Ore., Dec, 13.—It is the in- tention of the government to press the rest of the cases in connection with the government land frauds, which have been docket2d for' this term of the United States circuit court in or- der, if possible, ti finish them before the holidays.

Green. ‘While no names are yet openly con- nected with the evidence which is said to be in Colonel Green’s hands for con- sideration nevertheless it is believed that District Attorney John H. Hall intends to ask th? indictment of men of more than local prominence, who will make still more sensational the already famous cases. Several days ago subpoenaes were sent by Special Prosecutor F. J. Heney to Washington, D. C. asking United States Senator John H. Mitchell and Congressman Binger Hermann to come to Portland Dec. 15 to testify. Their answers have been received by United States District Judge C. B. Bel- linger and state that press of official business prevents their attendance at the trial. Be Quick.

Evidence That President Smith Up- % holds Polygamy. ‘Washington, Dec, 13.—Hearings on the protest against Reed Smoct, junior senator irom Utah, retaining his seat in the United States senate were re- sumed during the day by the commit- tee on privileges and elections. 'I'ne foom was crowded, women predom- inating among the spectators, as was the case last session. The first witness called was Rev. J. M. Buckley, D. D, of Morristown, N. J., editor of the Christian Advocate of New York. Dr. Buckley tald of visits to Utah in 1901 and again last June. says he will push the case against him. At that time he attended a joint con- vention of the young men’s and young Wwomen's unions oi Mormonism. Those Who spoke were Brigham H. Roberts, Elmira S. Taylor and President Smith. Dr. Buckley read from an article he had written concerning the convention and quoted from the speech of Presi- dent Smith on the subject of marriage. ““Then,” said Dr. Buckley, “President Smith drew himself up to his full height and spoke on the subject of di- vorce. He said that the mothers of his own children had been given him by God and were saints of God. He deplored the mother-in-faw jokes and said that his own mothers-in-law were the best friends he ever had; that they were true women worthy of their daughters.” Dr. Buckley read from another article on this meeting which said that President Smith’s voice rang out “as strong as William J. Bryan’s” as he defended the Mormon marriage and declared that polygamy was not adul- tery but was a system of marriage. President Smith was quoted as say- ing that he could not give up any of his. wives; that it meant eternal dam- nation to abandon a multiplicity of wives. Troope at Zeigler Fired On.
