CALL BUREAU, HOTEL BARTON, WASHINGTON, April 23.—With only one more importgnt witness to be heard in the case of Senator Reed Smoot, tentative plans were made to- day by the Committee on Privileges and Elections to postpone action and carry the final decision over to the next session of Congress. A resolution will be reported to the Senate, and adopted, providing for a continuation of the | hearing by a full committee or a sub- ;cummittee The same authority to now lodged in the committee will be given in the mew resolution, with the additional provision that the committee may take testimony wherever it sees fit. This means that it will go to Salit Lake, investigate on the spot and make another attempt to obtain the evidence of witnesses now said to be in hiding. Among those most certain to go to Salt Lake the coming summer are Sen- ator Burrows, chairman of the commit- tee, and Senator Dubois of Idaho, lead- ing member of the minority, who is { very deeply interested in the Mormon question and firm in his opposition to Smoot, on account of conditions in his { own State. | publicanism before politics in Utah di- It was brought the committee which nominated The wit- | ness said the nominations were the re- | sult of the ability of both men and | their courage in standing out against the political wule of the church.

Continuing, he said to Vancott: “I do not think I was any more culpable than you were, who, I understand, went on the stump and supported the without mentioning Roberts’ name.” The opposing candidate was Eldridge, | another Mormon, but not a polygamist, Judge Powers said, however, that the distinction was without a difference, | as Eldridge connived at, aided and| abetted polygamy. The cross-examina- tion was concluded, but the witness was reguested to remain in the city to which time the com- mittee adjourned.

Senator Overman. “1 understand she did.” Senator Dubois—Judge Powers, what do you regard the chief exhibition of | church domination over political affairs | that has come to your notice? “It occurred et the April, 1896, con- ference, when the political rule—that is, the manifesto dgainst Mormons enter- | ing politics without consent of\ the church authorities—wad adopted. This rule was adopted without a dissenting | vote, and at the same conference Mo- ses Thatcher was dropped from the rolls as an apostle and no explanation | of any character was made.” Senator McComas—How do the| | young men in the Mormon Church re- | gard the practice of polygamy? | “I think the young Mormon men, and women, too, are opposed to the prac- tice—strongly opposed—although I con- fess that I can not understand the | power the church is able to exert over them. I believe, however, that if the church’ authorities should attempt to | re-establish polygamy, by revelation or | otherwise, there would be trouble.” | DIFFERENCE IN VIEWS. | In regard to the continuation of po- lygamous cohabitation Judge Powers | said that some look upon this condi- tion with tolerance and others with open hostility. Several Senators engaged in the dis- cussion 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 don’t regard polygamy as the ! worst feature of the Mormon religion. ‘What I object to most is its un-Ameri- can domination by the hierarchy of the | people of that belief. The belief in the | right of the church authorities to pre- scribe rules, the belief that the head {of the church is inspired and inter- | ferénce of the church in political and | cummermal affairs.” : ROOSEVELT NAMES \IEN i FOR, IMPORTANT PLACES \umlnal.es Brigadier General Alns- worth as Chief of Record and Pension Office. | WASHINGTON, - April 23, — The President to-day sent to the Senate the following nominations: Military secretary, with the rank of | major general — Brigadier * General | Fred C.
