SMOOTTOBEOUSTED
Mormon Senator Must Not Be
Seated
SAYS MAJORITY OF COMMITTEE
Of Senate Committee on Privileges
and Elections, Burrows, Dollivcr,
Dubois, Pcttns, Bailey, Overman
and Frazier Hold Against Morman
Senator, While Forakcr, Bevcridge,
Dillingham, Hopkins and Knox
Take Opposite View.
Washington, Special.?The nwjort
ty and minority report* of the committee
on privileges ami elections in
the case of Senator Kced Hrnn't. of
Utah, were presented in the Senate,
the former by Senator Harrows, declaring
that Mr. Smoot i> not entitled
to his seat and the latter by Senator
Foraker, taking opposite view.
At the same time Senator Hailey,
who is a member of the committee,
stated that while he concurred in the
views of the majority, that Mr.
Smnot is not entitled to his seat, he
was of the opinion that "Mr. Smoot
could not be deprived of his seat under
the constitution except bv a resolution
of expulsion."
Mr. Harrows envn lirOwm (lint lm
o IIV
would call up the ease "at the earliest
possible moment eonsistcnt with
the publie business," and Senator
1A)raker expressed his approval of
this announcement.
The reason for the action of the
Senate committee on privileges and
elections in declaring by a majority
vote that Heed Smool is not entitled
to a seat in the Senate are stated in
the eport submitted to the Senate by
Chairman Burrows and signed by
Senators Burows , Dolliver, Dubois,
l'ettus, Bailey, Overman ami Frazier,
to be as follows:
The Majority Report.
"That Mr. Smoot is one of a selfperpetuating
body of men, known as
the First Presidency and Twelve
Apostles of the Church of .Jesus
Christ of Latter Day Saints, coinmonly
known as the First Presidency and
Twelve Apostles of the Mormon
church; that these men claim divine
authority to control the members of
said church in all things temporal as
well as spiritual; that this authority
is, and has been for several venrs
past, so exorcised by the said First
]'residency and Twelve Apostles as
to encourage the practice of polygamy
and polygamous cohabitation in
the State of Utah and elsewhere, contrary
to the constitution and laws of
the State of Utah and the law of the
land; that the said First Presidency
and Twelve Apostles do now control,
and for a long time past have controlled,
the political affairs of the
State of Utah, and have thus brought
about in said State a union of church
and State, contrary to the constitution
of the United States, and that
said Weed Smoot comes here, not as
the accredited representative of the
State <jf Utah in the Senate of the
United States, hut as the choice of
the hierarchy wihch controls the
clturc.lt and has usurped the functions
of the State in said State of Utah."
The majority report characterizes
"as wholly untenable" the position
that because Smoot himself does not
practice polygamy and there is no
evidence to show that he has person
any and individually encouraged the
practice in others, lie ought not to
t>o condemned because of the arts of
bis associates. It is charged "Ilia!
Senator Snioot is an inseparable part
of the governing body of the .Mormon
church -the First Presidency and
Twelve Apostles and those who compose
that organization is the act of
each and every member thereof, and
whatever policy is adopted and pursued
by the body which controls the
Mormon church, Mr. Se.ioot must be
held to be responsible for as a member
of that bodv."
The report declares that while
Smoot knew the indygnmoua practices
of President Smith and other church
officials, he has sustained by his vote
as nil ajsistle, and at no time uttered
a word of protest against the conduct
of liis associates, hut on the contrary
has sustained them by his silence.
'Mn the judgment of the committee,"
the report says, "Mr. Smoot is
no more entitled to a seat in the Senate
than he would be if he were associating
in polygamous cohabitation
with a plurality of wives." i

THE WORK OF CONGRESS
What is Being Done Day by Day By
the National House and Senate.
Danger to Quarantine Bill.
There is decided danger that the
quarantine bill intended to give Federal
aid in yellow lover quarantines,
which has passed the Senate House,
will fail becauso of a deadlock among
the eon feres on the seventh section
of the bill providing that inter-State
traflin may be carried on without interruption
through a state under yellow
lever quarantine, under certain
regulations; that is, that through
trains mnv make their rmmlor ?.?c

without taking on or letting off passengers
or freight within the quarantined
state.
Report on Packers Matter.
The House Committee on Agriculture
decided to comply with the request
of the Chicago packers to be
heard on the Neill-Kcynolds report
regarding the conditions in the Chicago
packing houses. The request
was made by Mr. E. Wilson, who
said he was an employee of the Nelson
Morris Company, hut in this instance
was authorized to speak for
all the Chicago packers. Secretary
of Agriculture Wilson, l)r. A. D. Mclvin
of the Department, and Mr. Neill
were present at the hearing.
Mr. Wilson made a general denial
of the existence of tlie conditions in
packing houses as set forth in the
Neill-Reynolds report. Some of the,
suggestions made in the report he
said, had already been complied with
by the packers, such as additional
sanitary facilities.
As to the charge that canned meats
were boiled in water to " freshen them
up." Mr. Wilson saiil there was absolutely
nothing1 in tliis. What the
cans were put in hot water were to
soak otT the old labels, which he said,
was aji injury to the appearance of
the goods oti snlo.
Ho denied absolutely that there
were any deceased cattle or bogs
butchered for food. Mr. Wilson described
in detail the operation of orcpariug
canned meats and when asked
by Representative Scott of Kansas,
a member of the committee, "How
about the rope and other foreign matter
found with scraps on the floor,"
Mr. Wilson explained that what was
probably seen in this instance was
the string on the knuckle and what
had been dried beef. This string was
used with which to hang the beef in
u smoke house, and when the beef
1 11 - ? - "
naa won sliced off, ibis knuckle end
was left. There was a bone in it. The
bone would smash the machine if an
attempt was made to use it.
Flooded With Petitions.
As Senator Tillman suggested there
was "A streak ot' yellow" in the
Senate due to the fac t that practically
every desk in the chamber was covered
with telegrams ??f protest against
the Anti-Pass provision in the Kailroad
Kate Hill as reported by the
Conference Committee.
They were all from railroad men
and in each case consisted of protests
against cutting off the privilege
of riding free.
In addition there was a formal
statement on behalf of engineers,
tiremen, eonductors and trainmen saving
that they represented 'JdO.OOO
railway employees.
Bill to Bo Sent Back.
The discussion of the Railroad Kate
Hill conference report in the Senate
showed ttint the bill would be; sent
back to the conference. The conference
announced that they expected
that result.
Busy Day in the House.
Against the days when the House
of Representatives was in throes of a
filibuster or ''putting off until tomorrow
what it might have done the
day before," must be set the work
accomplished in the lower branch of
ihe national Legislature.
In many particulars Tuesday was a
"red letter day" in the House, not
only in the number of bills passed,
but in the general character of the
legislation enacted. What hid fair
to cause endless trouble, the naturalization
bill, was passed under suspension
of the rules, the Speaker and
the gentleman in charge of the bill,
Mr. Hoynge, of Colorado, doing (team
wurK 01 a superior kind.
The House refused to ]mss a bill
leasing to a private tirai or corporation
the right to mine coal on the
Island of Patau in the Philippine
group, although it was stated that
such a lease would decrease the
amount paid by the government for
coal very considerably.
For two hours the House worked
under suspension of the rules and
then, with the time set apart for
these measures exhausted, and peueo
spreading its wings over the members,
the rest of the day, until adjournment.

also a door through the wall in the
rear of the lot which is kept fastened
i by n hook on the inside. About two
weeks ago a negro was caught climbing
over this high wall and scared
away by one of the operators. Three

young ladies stepped into the back
lot from the otlice, she was confronted
by a negro man. This time there
happened to be a young man in the
operating room who ran to her rescue,
only to see the negro's back ami give
