THEY OF THREE THOUSAND SCHOOL CHIL- MORMON CHIEF AT PRIZE FICHT Special Dispatch to The Call. SALT LAKE, April 19. — President Joseph F. Smith's presence at the Schreck-Gardner prize fight on Mon- day night has drawn forth another bit- ter public eriticism from a prominent member of the Mormon church, J. F. Gibbs. In an open letter published to-day Gibbs refers to Smith as a ‘“patron saint of prize fighting,” challenging the president’s claim to being a “prophet, seer and revelator,” and charges that “among his own people Joseph F. Smith is regarded as a self-confessed defiler of the laws of God and man.” In the closing paragraph of his letter Gibbs says the fact that Smith “took eight of his sons and witnessed a brutal slugging match should not, after his antics before the Senate committee and since, excite any more comment | than would the presence there of any other old sport, nor does it concern any one as to the amount he won on the result, although a lot of people, Mor- mons and Gentiles, are now speculat- ing on that question.” Gibbs, who has been a Mormon alf his life, repudiates Smith as leader of the church and charges the president with having convicted the whole Mor- mon people as violators of the pledge given to the Government. —————— H¥DROPHOBIA DEVELOPS AFTER SEVEN MONTHS Young Man, Recently Married, Dies From Dog Bite Received Long Ago.
