In a general country store in Pittsfield,
where he remained' for four years. He
went to Chicago In 1SG6, and began
bis career there as a clerk in the

During the four years that he re
mained with this house, he showed
marked eommeiNal ability, ?*ad in

late Levi Z. Leiter was also connect
ed with the firm, and ,in 1JG5, the two

Mormon Theological Professor Re
nouncos the Faith.
Salt Lake City, Utah, Jan. 17.—W11
U&m Wolfe, professor of theology in
Brigham Young college, a Mormon
institution at Logan, Utah, has caus'd
A stir in Mormon circles, acording to
a Logan despatch which the Tribune
prints today, by rcnounc’ g his be
lief in the Mormon faith, refusing to
pay tithes and severing his relatione
wit* the college.
According to Professor Wolfe, as
the Tribune quotes him in an inter
view, his change of faith was due to a
trip to Mexico which satisfied him,
he said, that the Mormon church had
receded from the Woodruff manifesto
and reinstated polygamous marriages.
He found many young women who had
recently entered into the plural mar
riage relation with leading elders of
the Mormon church.
Professor Wolfe is quoted as saying:
"The Mormon settlements in Mexi
co are closely in touen with those ol
Arizoua and in each case polygamy
i* practiced as freely today as It ever
has been.’’
Professor Wolfe Is quoted as eayio*
that he sought an explanation of these
ooodltions of Apostle John Henry
Smith, asking how these polygamous
marriages could be reconciled with the
Woodruff manifesto, and he It report
ed at quoting Apostle Smith at fol
low*:
"Why, Brother Wolfe, do you not
understand that the manifesto wa*
only a trick devised to beat the devil
at Ms own game?”
Professor Wolfe it tfce son
Presbyterian clergyman. After engag 1 -
Ing in the newspaper butinese he came
to Utah ten years ago and became •
