A Washington special says: The senate committee on privileges and elections met Saturday to hear the at torneys on both sides of the case in volving the right of Senator Smoot to occupy his seat. Former Representa tive Tayler, of Ohio, was heard for some Protestants, and E. P. Stevenson for those who are representing the National Rerom Association. A. S. Worthington and Walderman VanCott were present on behalf of Senator Smoot, who also was in attendance. The first presentation was made by expected to prove the following charges: 1. The Mormon priesthood, accord ing to the doctrine of the church and belief, practices and its membership is vested with, and assumes to exer cise supreme authority in all things, temporal and spiritual - , civil and politi cal. The head cf the church claims to receive divine revelations and these Reed Smooth, by his covenants and obligations, is bound to accept and obey. 2. The first presidency and twelve apostles, of whom Reed Smoot is one, is supreme in exercising the authority of the church and in the transmission of the authority to their successors. Each of them is called prophet, seer and revelator. 3. As shown by their teaching and by their own lives, this body of men has not abandoned belief in polygamy and polygamous cohabitation. On the con trary— (a) As the ruling authorities of the church they promulgate in the most solemn manner the ,, doctrine , , . of „ poly- , gamy „ without ... , reservation. (b) The president of the Mormon church and a majority cf the twelve apostles now practice polygamy and polygamous cohabitation, and some of them have taken polygamous wives since the manifesto of 1890. These things have been done with the knowl edge and countenance of Reed Smoot, Plural marriage ceremonies have been performed by the apostles since the manifesto of 1890 and many bishops and other high officials of the church have taken plural wives since that time. All of the first presidency and twelve apostles encourage, counte nance, conceal and connive at polyga my and polygamous cohabitation and honor and reward by high office and distinguished preferment those who most persistently and defiantly violate t ji e . i aw 0 f the land 4 - Though pledged by the compact of statehood and bound by the law of the commonwealth, this supreme body, whose voice is law to its people and whose members were individually directlv * resnonsible e for or go vr-od u fnfth tait.i tn to the American . people, permitted, witii out protest or objection, their legisla tors to pass a law nullifying the stat ute against polygamous cohabitation. For all these things Reed Smoot is responsible in law and in conscience to this body and to the American peo ple. In connection with the third spe cification Mr. Tayler gave a list of the documents recognized by the Mormon church as Inspired. In reply, Mr. Worthington said the statements made by Mr. Tayler differ ed very materially from the charges made in the formal statements, and he asked time in which to make a reply, which was granted.
