Smoot admits that the first presi- | dency of the Mormon church is vest- all | ed with supreme authority in things spiritual and in all things tem- poral, so far as temporal things per- tain to the affairs of the church. He denies that the first presidency or the twelve aposties are supreme in the exercise of the alleged mandates. He says the only accepted standard works of the church are the Bible (King James’ version), the Book of Mormon, the Pearl of Great Price and the Doc- trine and Covenants, together with the manifesto of President Wilford ‘Woodruff, dated 1890. So far as quo- tations are made from any of the fore- going and correctly quoted, the re- spondent makes no complaint, but he denles the construction placed upon them by the protestants. It is admitted that the Mormon church made a rule in regard fto its leading officials taking part in poli- tics, but Smoot denies that this rule { Is fully or correctly set forth in the protest. In reference to the deposing of Mo- ses Thatcher from the twelve apostles and his defeat by the church in his contest for senatorship in the Legis- lature, the respondent denies that the defeat was due to his opposition to the rule of the church. He admits that remarks were made by George Q. Cannon, Wilford Woodruff, Lorenzo Snow, John Henry Smith, Brigham ject of such deposition, but denies that such’ remarks are corectly quoted in | the protest. PRACTICE OF POLYGAMY. Smoot alleges that, since the mani- festo of President Woodruff in 1890, the practice of polygamous cohabita- | tion by those who were polygamists | theretofore had been abandoned by mAny, but continued by some for a time. Where it was continued it was on ihe sole responsibility of such per- sons, and subject to the penalties of the law. A It is denied that any body of the of- ficials either practices or connives at i j against the bill and that it was vetoed | would urge war upon the home, is polygamy or that Smoot or any body ’DECISXON RESERVED of officials sought to pass a law nul- lifying enactments against polygam- ous cohabitation. It is admitted that such a law did pass the Utah Legisla- ture in 1891, but it is asserted that many of the Mormon members voted | by the Governor and-that the veto was | IN THE BENSON CASE Legal Points on Forfeiture of Bond Argued Before United States Commissioner Taylor. WASHINGTON, Jan. 9.—The case of John A. Benson, the San Francisco sustained by the Legislature, a l&rs&é redl estate operator, arrested here for majority of which were members of the Mormon church. Smoot admits the charge that he is a director of Brigham Young Acad- emy, but alleges that he is not fami- lidr with detalls of the employment of | instructors. 1 The charge that Smoot, from the | high station of United States Senator, | denfed in strong terms. He agrees | that the home is the basic institution | upon whose purity and perpetuity | rests the very Government itself, and | he alleges that he has as sacred regard for the station of Senator and for its duties as has any of the protestants or | the meost loyal citizens. He admits alleged land frauds and subsequently arrested in New York under an in- dictment found by the Grand Jury here, was signed to-day before United States Commissioner Taylor, the ques- tion being the forfeiture of bond, and the decision was reserved until next Wednesday. Benson's hearing was called earlier in the week and he failed to appear. Assistant United States District Attor- ney Turner argued that his non-ap- pearance constituted a forfeiture of the $5000 bond, while former Justice Cole of the District Supreme Court and Attorney Campbell of San Francisco | contended that such a course amount- that the enjoyment of the privileges | ed to harassment; that his appearance of statehood must depend upon the | here was unriecessary and would have observance of the sacred compact | conflicted with the hearing fixed for upon which statehood was secured: also that the rights thereby granted are not {nalienable, but denies that he is or ever will be unfitted to make any law. TELLS OF HIS ELECTION. Concerning the political significance of his election as United States Senator, Mr. Smoot says that' in May, 1202, he announced he would be a candidate be- fore the Legislature to be next elected, and that such declaration was of his own judgment. Continuing he says “that the Demo- cratic papers in the State of Utah, op- Monday in New York and might have resulted in the forfeiture of the $10,- 000 bond he gave there. —e——————— ' SEEKING TO SAVE SALMON FISHERIES Qumry Hay Will Ask Conference ‘With Canada Concerning Inter- national Hatcheries. | WASHINGTON, Jan. 93.—Secretary Hay has determined to ask the Cana- dian Government to join in a confer- ence looking to the establishment of | international fish hatcheries on the posing the candidacy of this respond- ent, stated over and over again in prominent headlines and in strong edi- torials that a vote for the Republican ticket meant just that much toward the selection of this respondent as the next Republican United States Senator from the State of Utah; that the mem- bers of the Legisiature were named and Young and Joseph Smith on the sub- | elected on the issue. and your respond- ent was the choice by a large majority of such Legislature as the Republican United States Senator from the State of TUtah, and most of the gentile Repub- lican legislators voted for this respond- ent for such office. At the time all of the Democratic Mormon legislators op- pesed his nomination to such office and voted for ahother candidate.” ——————— Malt Brewer Has Fatal Fall.
