Paris, Doc. 13.—Manses are being

ng but representatives of the police

Won't Recognize Vatican.
The Vatican had forbidden laymen
from making these applications, and
will undoubtedly disavow the action of
the laymen, but the government will
pay no attention to the Vatican, con
sidering It a "foreign power,” and de-
i lares it will not allow outside Inter
ference.
Both sides are extremely anxious to
win public favor, and the government
will only resort to extreme measures,

mince words.

that the Judiciary had the power, and

special emphasis on the "president," he
was cheered roundly and every one
present seemed to enjoy the rebuke but

Differences Over Ap
propriations Cause

This Hctiou follow* the threat
of the knitter, made yesterday, that
he would dissolve the body nml
order » new election ill the event
f the failure to irronl the supple
Imd nuked for.
The real cause of the strained
relation* which have existed be
tween the emperor and the reieh-
stasf is the question of whether or
not German Southwest Africa is
to be retained. The additional ap
propriations which the kaiser re
quested were for the purpose of
msiiitaiumif ail nrmy in the terri
tory named.

gene Ray Its* resigned his place -is
magistrate In the uptown district and
the grand Jury has elected Howell Hoi-
ueulnry appropriations which he ue i u mi ih- vacancy.
Washington, Dec. 18.—Senator Du
bois, of Idaho, In a speech In the senate
tills afternoon urging that Reed Smoot
bo driven from Ills seat, charged that
President Roosevelt "knowingly and
willingly” nlded the Idaho Mormons In
the last state election.
He declared that Governor Gooding,
the Republican candidate for governor,
as the recognized Mormon candidate,
while his opponent, who is chief Jug
tlce of Idaho, delivered the opinion re
fusing the writ of habeas corpus for
the three labor leaders charged with
murder, stood on a radical Democratic
platform opposed to Mormon dictation.
8ent His Man Taft.
Notwithstanding this, he said, the
president sent Secretary Taft Into Ida
ho to rally the Republicans to the
standard of Governor Gooding.
"The non-Mormon citizenship- of
Utah and of Idaho think they are enti
tled to the' support of law-abiding citi
zens everywhere In their efforts to
maintain American citizenship in those
Mormon states,” he declared, “and If
they cannot receive that they have
the right to demand that the presi
dent of the united States shall not use
the great power vested In. him In the
t interests, of the daw-defying and un-
. American organization."
Defeated by Mormonlam.
The senator stated that he had beon
fighting Mormonlam for twenty-five
years and had finally met defeat at lta
hands. He declared that from Its In
ception the church had been a menace
to our form of government, and eald
that every president, from Buchanan to
McKinley, had called attention In their
messages to congress to the necessity
for tho most stringent legislation gov
erning the practices of the Mormons,
"I call attention to these messages o|
the presidents," he said, "I* order to
mark the contrast betwesn them and
the present occupant of the White
House. Mormonism Is more Insidious,
more dangerous and a greater menace
to our government qnd civilisation to
day than It was at any particular
period when these messages were ad
dressed to congress. Yet President
Roosevelt does deem the eubject worth:
of mention In a message filled wltl
suggestions.
Charge Against Prssidsnt.
"No president heretofore has made
Mormonlam a matter of partisan poli
tics. President Roosevelt has."
Continuing, he said:
"Those who followed tne testimony
given In the Bmoot case cannot arrive
|ut any other conclusion than that the
a i .Mormon church constitutes a band of
** conspirators, whose aim Is to make the
state subservient to the church. By
being an apostle of the church Bmoot Is
a member of this high conspiracy.”
He said It made no difference wheth
er Bmoot was or was not a polygamist.
Is s Pillsr of Church.
"He Is a pillar of the Mormon
church," declared the senator. "His
selection as an apostle and a senator
Indicates conclusively Ills harmony
with the life, teachings and practices
of Joseph Binith, Lyman and other
brother apostles, who, by their state
ments and admissions, are openly liv
ing In polygamous relations In defiance
to law.
"Senator Bmoot represents the
church and not the state, and would
do the bidding of the church before ae
would eerve the real Interests of the'
state or of Uie nation.”
Polygamy Stilt Practiced.
Senator Dubois spoke of the polyg
amous relations which were being sus
tained by the president of the Mormon
church, Joseph F. Smith, and a ma
jority of the 12 apostles of whom Sen
ator Smoot Is one. • Ho referred to the
contracting continually of new mar
riages In a polygamous way and the
manner In which It Is now carried on
by the chuncii as a menace, being cele
brated In Canada or Mexico or far
enough away from land on the high
seas to avoid the laws of the states.
Arc Fighting ths Mormons.
"In Utah,” said Senator Dubois,
"there Is a Republican Mormon party
and a Democratic .Mormon party, both
equally controlled by the .Mormon hier
archy. The American party In Utah la
composed of Gentiles both Republicans
and Dwmicrats.grho are battling there
under the ver> "shadow of this tre-
rneiuloue ccrlesJasllcaJ power for Amer
ican citizenship, for the separation of
church mid •talc and against the deg-
tndatlnn of womanhood and home.
"They have abandoned all hope of
liollticdl preferment and suffer finan
cially in their unequal struggle for
tmerican prlnc'ples. President Roose
velt throws the weight of his mighty
influence against the Americans and
the Republican Mormons In Utah,
led by President Smith and Senator
Smooi. He demands In Utah all In-
doirviiicnt of bull'll and Smoot.”

Senator Brown refused to talk.
Cajoled Into eloping with her father's
brother when only a child of 13 years,
living with him ten years and then be
ing made hie wife—that la the startling
allegation made by Lela Knight In a
petition for divorce filed Thursday !n
the superior court.
stranger tale than that told by
this young woman In her petition for a
divorce from her uncle and husband
waa never written In fiction.
For ten long years did this niece, ac
cording to her petition, remain away
from the home of her father with that
father’s brother under threat of death,
and then, over a year ago. she was
married to this same uncle In Clayton
county.
After all this experience, she now
wants the courts to dissolve the un
natural and unlawful bond.
This husband and uncle Is alleged to
lie G. E. Knight and the petition de
clares that when Lela waa a child of
13 years he came to her father’s house
to live. She says further that soon
after coming he began making ad
vances to her. Tales of love and af
fection were whispered into her youth
ful ami Innocent ears by this uncle, she
states.
The result of .these advances was
that she consented to fly with her uncle
from the Dome of her father—her
uncle's brother—her future brother-in-
law. She did this, sho says, under
threats of death should she refuse and
when once away she feared the wrath
of her father and could not return.
For ten years she remained away,
she says In her petition, and then In the
latter part of 1*06 her uncle took tier
to Jonesboro, tn Clayton county, and
procured a marriage license und made
ills niece—his brother's daughter- ‘
wife.
And according to this divorce petition
the marriage ceremony only came about
as the result of talk on the part
neighbors. Since that time this niece
and wife says she lived with her uncle
aa his wife until September, 1808. when
she wns compelled to leave hint because
of his habitual Intoxication and threats.
She now wants a divorce on the
grounds that the marriage was be
tween persons of a prohibitive degree
of consanguinity and that it Is there
fore null and void. Lamar Hill Is her
attorney.

MARRY MR8. ANNA BRADLEY.
New York, Dec. 13.—As Mrs. Amite
Adams, mother of Maude Adams,
the theatrical star, started for Wash
ington today to tell the prosecuting
officer there what she knew of the ro
mance \<hlcli led to the tragic shoot
ing or former United States Senator
Brown by Mrs. Anna Bradley, the
whole story of Brown's friendship for
Mrs. Bradley, his pursuit of Miss Ad
ams with a proposal of marriage and
ner Insistent demand 'hat he marry
Mrs. Bradley ns an honorable man
should, reached this city from Bali
Lake City, the home of the principal a
this unpleasant scandal.
But Mrs. Adams has not gone to
Washington for the solo purpose of tell
ing wlmt she knows. Before she left
the Grand Union Hotel today she raid
she. was going to the capital to aid
Mrs. Bindley, with whom she sym
pathizes.
"Why, the principal reason I made
an appointment to meet Senator Brown
til New York this week, was to firce
film to marry .Mrs. Bradley. I waa the
woman’s best friend regardless of what
she thought, and I believe that had she
come to see me before she shot Senutor
Brown down In his upuartments In the
Hotel Raleigh last Saturday night, the
tragedy would have been avoided. I
would have made him marry her, and
I had sufficient influence over him to
effect this. It would probably have
been a Christina* wedding."
