CONCLUSION OF |Attorney Makes Claim That Led a ‘ Blameless Life. 'Final Argument in Behalf of ‘ the Senator From Utah 4 3 \ WASHINGTON, April 13.—The final argument in the in- vestigation of protests against the seating of Senator Reed Smoot was made today before the committee on privileges i elections by A. S. Worthington, counsel for the Utah since the proceedings were; three years ago Mrs, Smoot attended the session of The number of spectators was much less than during the Utah Senator's arralgnment. In opening Worthington took up the subject of Smoot's qualifications to seérve as a Senator, and followed this by to send President Joseph F. Smith to the Senate. Worthing- ton said that if such should be the case he should be per- mitted to serve if he gave up his plural wife and lived only In the event that Smith should fail to sald Worthington, then he Worthington stated that Smoot's life | had been blameless, and that he is a law-abider in every b It was contended by Worthington that plural marriages s are no longer performed with the sanction of the Mormon He sald that Utah had been “raked and scraped,” and the plural marriages brought to light since the mani- a year. offenders are now virtually fugitives from justice. Taking up Smoot's confession that he believed in divine tions, Worthington compared this bellef with services r churches where divine guldance is sought, argued that Smoot's belief is the same as that of followers Senator Knox and some other members of the committee interrogated Worthington concerning the alleged necessity case, and construed this to mean that if a high church offi- cial desires to become a candidate for public office it is necessary to resign his church office. or be excused from duties in connection with his church position, if it conflicts It was argued by Worthington that everything that has been charged against the Mormon church In the way Utah was Frank J.

TUCSON, April 13.—Arrested on a charge of kidnaping their own daughter, George F. Arndt and wife were brought to Tucson last night by Lieutenant ‘Wheeler of the Arizona Rangers. They were caught at Benson while en route to Mexico. Their six-year-old daughter Ruth had been placed under the guardian- ship of Adjutant Westcott of the Salva- tion Army by Judge ‘Goggin of El Paso, who held that both parents were unfit to care for her. Arndt and his wife had quarreled over the custody of the child, but at the intercession of Westcott The principal speakers were Governor Joseph W. Folk, United States Senator William J.

A leading bank official, how- ever, said that the only cure for such money evils as the New York money market has recently witnessed lay in the establishment of e central bank which shall be given the power of issue in times of emergency. It was ascertained today that a series questions bearing upon this subject has been forwarded by the special cur- itself may give. Some special privilege is at the bettom of every graft. No one ever heard of an official being corrupted in order to give | equal rights to all. It Is always for the pur- pose of obtaining some speclal privilege for a few. An unprecelented political revival {s going on in the United States today on this subject. The next few years will be distinguished as the time in_which the Telgn of the specfal privilege 1s brought to an end, and the doc- trine of equal rights fixed in national politics and in the conscience of mankind, The atmosphere will be clearer and the body politic cleaner for the stamping out and cure of clvic evils. There {s mo secret remedy known for corruption. It cannot be cured by hiding it. The developments of the last few years should inspire optimism, not pessimism, as to the future. The punishment of rascals is not going to cause the overthrow of the repubilc. Old-fashioned idees of honesty are being applied to the new-fashioned business. “Thou shalt not. steal,”’ has agaln become binding. This does not mean soclalism, which says to another, ‘“What is thine is mine,” but it means an equal oppor- tunity to all to have, to hold and to enjoy the frults of honest labor and no speclal privileges to a class to prey upon the rest of the people. PARTY NAMES MEAN NOTHING. The time has come when ‘the people will no longer respond to mere party names, Partles must stand for something, must be a positive force, mot a mere negative quantity. What- ever ‘may be said of the accomplishment. of any party in days gone -by, the question is now mot ‘what the Demogratic party did ftty years ago. or what the Repub o perty did orty years ago, but what they stand for now, and what do they puwhim to do now.

One may rest assured that lo cannot be far from right. In closing his address Senator Stone sald: Enough hus been sald in all reason to Chamber of Commerce to clearing-house mittees of the leading cities of the ted States. The bankers are asked {o they belleve a “‘central note-issuing bank similar to those in France, Germarfy, Austria-Hungary and other countries in Europe, with branches in leadipg citles national banks and State banking institutions, but not for individuals, would be a better solution of the present currency problem than a plan permitting all banks to issue notes against their resources?” The command, TO VISIT MANY COAST TOWNS Vessels of Pacific Squadron to Gradually Work Way North. £AN DIEGO, April 13.—It was defiitely announced this afternoon that the war- ships of the Pacific squadron will leave San Diego next Wednesday morning.

CLARK TO BULD * LIN TO JERONE SPECIAL DISPATCH TO THE CALL.| LOS ANGELES, April 13—From rome, the seat of the enormously rich mining properties of Senator W, A. Clark of Montana, comes the announcement, con- firmed in part by recent happenings here, that it is the intention of the Montana millionaire to bulld 2 branch line from hig Salt Lake rallroad to his Arizona properties. 3 There are several reasons why this is a strategic move on the part of the Salt Lake company. One is that it will open a large section of country rich in minerals and in lumber which i8 now without transportation facilities and which prac- tically is stagnant for the lack of them. Another is that Senator ‘would take to his wonderful copper mires at Jerome a trunk ling which would be of incalcul4- ble value to the mines, and the mines would be a wonde! feeder of the road. Still another sti move is the fact that it will enable har- riman to evade his agreement with Santa Fe regarding a division of terifig While by the terms of thi§ agreement Harriman cannot build into the Santa Fe's territory he can arrange to run his trains over the tracks.of a Clark iTne ‘when it is b into the Santa Fe's field. Officials of the Salt Lake Taflroad will not discuss the matter further than to admit that the proposed line is a possi- bility and to assert that it ultimately will be built, but when they cammot say. It is known that a preliminary sur- vey has been In progress for some time. NEW ¥ April 13.—It in this cl%! That the Br.

The volcano, seems to have spent itself In one enormous convulsion. " Direc- tor Matteucel, who heroically’ holds als post in the observatory, believes that the eruption has ended and every outward indication confirms this view. N6 mor: rumblings come from the bowels of the earth, giving terrifying werning to the The volcano is hidden behind a thick curtain of smoke, which arises from the crater and then Bpr?a@l and falls, enveloping a vast circle 'in sem- darkness. Naples is just beyond the cir- cle, and to-day the city was bathed in sunshine, while the ugly, black pall hung to the westward over a beit midway be- tween Rome and Naples. 4 The following telegram from Digfctor Matteuccl was sent this evening frofn the observatory on the side of the volcano: Last night and today the activity of Vesuvius and the agitation at the surface of the vol- cano sensibly diminished. Flectric discharges ceased today and the discharge was less abundant. From the presumed formation of the crater and other indications, and if the news coming to me is true of the cessation of lava at Boscotrecaz, I predict with reserve that in two or {hree days volcanic calm will reign. The publication of this assuring dis- patch has brought joy to the people, and to-night's Good Friday services at the churches, which were attended by large congregatlons, took the form of fervent thanksgiving for dangers past. PEOPLE GROW CONFIDENT. Conditions . at Naples were' so much better today that the people were almost incredulous of the tales of terror told by those who had escaped from the towns. villages and the country farther within the zone of devastation. The weather was fine and the wind had shifted so that the clouds of ashes from the. volcano, instead of enveloping Naples, were cars rled in the direction of Caserta. The ap- prehension of the populace gave place to 2 smiling confidence in.which there was no reflection of the terror which had pre- valled for the past week, But in other quarters there is no es- caping from the* awful evidences of the volcano's fury. At Boscotrecaz the ex- humation of the dead is being carried on by soldlers, who owing to the advanced stage of decomposition of the corpses are unabie to work more.than an hour at a time. The work is one of great financial cost as well as of danger and arduous- ness to those/engaged in it. Many of the bodics are merely shapeless, unrecogniza- ble masses of flesh and bones, while oth- ers are but little disfigured. As quickly as possible they are buried in quicklime to lessen as far as may be the danger of epidemic. None but those engaged in the work of recovering the corpses are per- mitted in the vicinity. DUKE OF ABRUZZI ARRIVES. After the last great eruption, which oc- curred in 1872, the land covered by cin- ders aid not produce crops for. seven years, and the losses in this respect alone averaged $20,000,000 yearly. It is believed that it will take ten years to bring the land under cultivation again. The people as a demonstration of their gratitude for the sympathy which led to the French squadron being sent here, enthusiastically greeted the French sail- ors when they landed. The Duke of Abruzzi arrived today in his. motor car. He had passed through the ash belt and was hardly recognizable, being covered with ashes and cinders. He will,soon sall on his projected tour of exploration in South Africa. Professor Matteucei today climbed up Vesuvius to a point a long way above the observatory at the imminent risk of his life and ascertained that unless the con- ditlons changed radically there will be no further discharge of lava at present. He added that it was impossible to determine the quantity of sand in the crater, but as the cone had diminished considerably in height and the showers of cinders thrown out hat been transformed into ashes, he believed the end of the disturbance was near. Premier Sonnina and Finance Minister Sallandra, who have been supervising the relief measures, left Naples for the capital this morning. Nearly 5000 refugees are al- ready housed here and the number is rap- 1dly increasing. In fact, all the buildings avallable for the accommodation of the fugitives are crowded, and if many more people seek shelter here it will be neces- sary to place them In army tents. The municipal and military authorities have already taken steps to accommodate a large number of people in this manner. The crowding of refugees into Naples has resulted in the almost stoppage of the supply of food usually forwarded to the Vesuvian district, and | consequently the prices of food have risen enormously, and the lack of meat and bread especlally is seriously felt in those districts. The reputation of Neapolitans for lazi- ‘ness is in striking contrast with the fever- ish activity displayed everywhere here to- day. The hours, even the minutes, seem too short for what must be done. The people rush here and there, horses gallop about and even the dogs and cats seem to be infected with the general spirit of “hustle.” ; AT A curious phenomenon has been noticed at Cape Postilipo, a picturesque spot in the northeast part of the Bay of Owing to the great quantity of ashes and cinders which has fallen into the bay the e e T A0 Aiseoloreil tedth. * Tt biightt the gums, makes the breath CRAFT FOUND Wife of President of North- ~western Mutual Enjoys a High Rate of Interest 0DD ELECTION METHODS Officials ~ of - the Company Chosen by Non - Policy Holders by Use of Proxies o IR MILWAUKEE, Wis., April 13—The most sensational feature today of the examination of the Northwestern Mutual Life Insurance Company by the special legislative investigating committee was the production of documentary evidenc2 tending to show that Mrs. Henry L. Pal- mer, wife of the president of the com- pany, was a frequent investor in loans on policles of the Northwestern Mutual and that on one of these loans negotiated in 1889, but which was still running in 1905, she obtained an interest rate of 8 per cent. During a portion of the time Mrs. Palmer was obtaining this Interest rate policy loans were being made by the com- pany itself at an Interest rate of 6 per cent, The records of the company for its election of 1904 were produced, showing that a majority of the persons who voted proxies were not policy-holders of the Nerthwestérn Mutual, and that thus the rather strange situation was created of non-policy-holders in the company actually electing the officers who controlled the company’'s husiness. This afternoon P. B. Sanborn of the Northwestern Mutual and head of its loan department, and the company’s ac- tuary, C. A. Loveland, went on the stand. In comparing the assignment clauses of the policy loan papers of the Northwest- ern Mutual Life Insurance Company and other companies making policy loans San- born testified that the assignment of the Northwestern's policy provides for the absolute forfeiture of policies used as col- lateral for loans from the company upon default in the payments of principal, in- terest or premiums on the policy. This is declared by Actuary Miles M. Dawson to be the most severe assignment clause of. any company, although some East: companies are said to have somewhat similar clauses. Mr. Sanborn sald the assignment conditions are rarely enforced. The testimony of Actuary Loveland de- veloped the fact that 6 the passage of the Wisconsin law compelling dividend divisions on policies at least once in flve years had caused the company to abandon writing all deferred dividend polictes, intogesin, a large shell fish which is com- mon there, have come to the surface, ‘while all the other fish have disappeared.
