Mormons Having
Plural Wives May
Be Compelled to
Keep Them, Claim
Salt Lake City, Oct. 13.—Any
members of the Mormon church
who may have plural wives still
living may be compelled to support
theni, declared Judge Morris, Min
nesota federal judge who is tem
porarily sitting in the federal
court here, during arguments in
volving the plural wives of John
Breck, deceased Utah mining mag
nate.
Mrs. Bertha Goss Breck, poly
gamous wife, is seeking a share in
the division of property. The leg
ality of her plural marriage Is the
basis of the suit. Mormon history,
the former and present extent of
polygamy practica, and the testi
mony of high church officials and
Utah capitalists featured the hear
ings.
Thomas R. Cutlor, vice presi
dent of the Utah-Idaho Sugar
company, testifying for the plain
tiff, was asked if he i'.i r.st know
that Brigham H. Roberts, former
Utah congressman, was now liv
ing with more than one wife.
During the arguments, Judge
Morris declared:
"They do it and they ought to do
it."
The judge said it was a strange
coincidence that he was a member
of congress when Roberts was de
nied his seat for having more than
one wife. Judge Morris said at
that time Riberts admitted living
with three wives and that now he
had a right to live with and sup
port them.

Twin Falls. Ida.. Oct. 13.—All six
ph.vsicans called upon to reply to a
.hypothetical question some 3,000 words
in length, setting forth practically all
the evidence so far adduced by the
state in the case of Lyda Meyer South
ard, now on trial here for the murder
of her fourth husband, Edward F.
Meyer, agreed that Meyer's death was
due to poison; that the poison was ad

actually caused death was taken by
him within 48 hours prior to his de
mise.
The state's case is practically closed
as far as the evidence relating to the
death of Meyer as set forth in the in
formation, is concerned. Some time
Friday the court will be called upon
to settle the question of the state's
right to introduce testimony respect

KU KLUX KLAN
IS PERSECUTED
SAYS FOUNDER
Imperial Wizard of Order on Stand Before Con
gressional Committee Calls Upon Heaven
to Forgive Enemies of Organization, Then
Tumbles Unconscious as Spectators Applaud.
Washington, Oct. 13.—Closing an all-day defense of the
Ku Klux Klan, William J. Simmons, its imperial wizard,
toppled over in a chair Thursday while the chairman of a
house committee investigating the order was attempting to
stop the applause which broke before the crowd knew the
collapsed.
Friends of Mr. Simmons rushed to
his side and supplied stimulants, but
as it was evident that he was in no
condition to continue, the hearing,
filled with many dramatic incidents
during the day, was adjourned.
Physicians later reported that Mr.
Simmons' condition was not serious.
Bundled up about the chest, Mr.
Simmons returned to the afternoon
session unsteady of feet, his voice
hoarse, but apparently eager to de
nounce what he characterized as out
rageous charges against the organiza
tion he founded in Georgia, five years
ago.
Reads Klansmen's Oath
A solemn stillness prevailed at
times while the wizard, holding aloft
the ritual of the Klan, read parts of
i the oath taken by Iviansmen. And
then in husky tones he told the com

mittce that while Julius Caesar had

"If this organization is unworthy,
let ine know and I will destroy it." he
exclaimed, "but if it is not, "then let
it stand."
Turning to the crowd. Simmons
declared he wanted to "call upon the
Father to forgive those who had per
secuted the Ivlan," and as the words
left his lips, he tumbled into a heap.
The first dramatic incident of the
day was the sudden appearance of
Senator Thomas E. Watson, of Geor
gia, who edged his way through the
crowd, stepped up and seized the
wizard by the hand. Whispering
something, he turned and sat down.

feet, demanding the right to question
the witness in "the interest of fair

President Harding Tells Postmasters He Is Not
Averse to Them Taking Interest
in Politics.
Washington, Oct. 13.—Confidence
that America will be able in the re
construction period to imbue other na
tions with the spirit of service and
understanding was expressed by I'res
j ident Harding Thursday night in an
address before several thousand post
masters and postal employes who have
been in convention here. The presi
dent declared Iiis conviction that, the
"gospel of understanding" would be
responsible for whatever of lasting
good may be accomplished in the
years of rehabilitation and realign
ment ahead.
"Whatever I may have learned to
night," he said, "I knew about post
masters long before I came to the
presidency. I used to help pick them
and I'm not sure but I named more of
them 20 years ago than I do today.
"When I was shaking hands with
you at the White House, the thought
came to me of the varied communities
you represented. I suppose I'm a lit
tle partial to the great rural com
munities, because I began my life
there. I'm just as proud of the great
cities of America as any citizen, but
they're a little different. They show
a little more of the passing passion,
while out across the great areas of
our republic are the sober, substan
tial citizens who are the guaranty of
the perpetuity of this land.

' he was not a Klansman, although in
sympathy with its aims, and the chair
man cut through the collopuy by direct
ing the senator to proceed. The sen
ator merely asked the wizard if he
knew of the big salaries being voted
by congress for shipping board lawyers,
reaching as high as $35.000 which the
people had to pay. With that Mr.
Watson left.
Through the testimony of Mr. Sim
mons, the committee learned that the
total membership of the Klan, heralded
as having passed the half million mark,
actually was around 90,000.
The witness declared that its growth
east and west had been greater than
in the south, but his illness prevented
questions designed to bring out facts
bearing on some of the present strong
holds of the organization. Asked if he
had not claimed a "million member
ship." Mr. Simmons smilingly replied
he might have done so, but tnat he was
speaking generally, not by the card.
Denies Tax Dodging
Representative Garrett, Democrat,
Tennessee, took the witness in hand to
ind out something about the Klan's
nablef wTständ 'ready
revenue and profits, asking if the mem
bership fees had been listed as dona
tions other than fees to prevent collec
tion of federal corporation taxes. Sim
mons replied there was never a thought
of that, declaring that when the tax
law first became effective, he went to
the revenue office at Atlanta, and was
informed that the Klan did not come
under the law.
"If it does, it is not my fault," the
wizard said, "and if it is shown we are
to meet our
obligations."
Denying huge profits from the sale
of robes, the witness declared less than
30 per cent of the klansmen owned
regalia.
"Our robes are not worn for the
purpose of terrorizing people," lie
shouted. "They are as innocent as the
breath of an angel."
The witness was pressed by Chair
man Campbell for an explanation of
the recent clash between a sheriff and
marching klansinen near Waco. Texas,
and while he replied that his informa
tion was based largely upon newspaper
reports he a dded that the parade had
"I take it we are not all of one
party here and I want to say I'm not
averse t 0 postmasters being interested
in politics. If anyone ever comes to
me and says he is seeking a post
mastership and has no party affilia
tions, he's going to be wiped off the
slate right away. I'd rather have a
hard boiled Democrat than a yellow
Republican.
"And when a man comes to me to
seek a place and asks what the com
pensation, he also is wiped off the
lisf. I do not speak in a partisan
sense or in a seuse of criticism of
anything that has gone before, but it's
no small problem to put our republic
on its feet again and it calls for the
service of every man and woman inter
ested in his country.
"I have sought to preach the gospel
of understanding and service, and I
venture to say the greatest things we
shall record in the years of recon
struction. will be due to understanding
and service. If we can have that spirit
and do these things for our own people,
it is not impossible that this republic
can point the world to a way to better

for mankind."

of railway employes with correspond

Railway Executives at its meeting here,
it was announced Thursday night.
The proposition is to be submitted
by a special committee of railroad of

The proposition to" pass all future
decreases in operating costs along to

jwith the policy of the railroads to make
he freight rate reductions and at the same
time allow the railroads to operate at
la profit. Freight rate reductions are
impossible as long as operating costs
remain unchanged, this official assert

Those in close touch with the situ
ation pointed out that even if the
proposals became effective at once,
some time would elapse before freight
rates could be reduced. To decrease
rates, the railroads would have to go
through almost as mu^i formality as
to raise them, it was stated.
A conference with employes would
first be necessary and if the employes
refused to accept the proposed reduc
tiona, the case would then be placed
before the railroad labor board, un

road labor board authorized the re
quested reduction in wages, the inter
state commerce commission would
then be required to pass on a proposal
to reduce freight rates.

New York, Oct. 13.—(By The Associated Press.)—World's
champions, 1921—the New York National league baseball club.
The Giants won the title, which will be theirs for the next
year, by defeating the Yankees in the eighth game of the
world's series at the Polo grounds Thursday. The American
league champions died fighting hard in a classic twirling duel
between their pitching ace, Waite Hoyt, and Art Nehf, the
Giants' star left hander. However, they lacked the necessary
punch to win, the National league team taking the game, 1
to 0, and the series, 5 games to 3.
The Giants' victory gives Manager John J. McGraw his
second world's championship team. The New York Nationals,
seven-time pennant winners under McGraw's management,
captured the world's title against the Athletics of the American
league in 1905, but although winning the bunting five times
since, they have been baffled every time until this year in
their quest for world honors, twice bowing to the Athletics,
once to the Red Sox, and once to the White Sox in titular
combats.

ences over the loss of the series with
congratulations upon the showing t»e
Yankfe players had made in the first
world's title series in which a New
York American league team haa ever
^car.ied the right to compete.
Nehf 's Pitching Superb
As for the final and decisive game
of the series, the winning of it waa due
to the superb pitching of Nehf againat
a moundsman to whom he had twice
lost the decision earlier in the aeries.
Allowing the American league batsmen
but four hits, none of them better than
singles and three of them coming with
two men out, the crafty southpaw
again and again turned the Yankee*
back and baffled their determined ef- *
^^foUtary run for
which they were struggling ail through
the contest.
the contest.
Hardly a whit less creditable waa
t' lp performance of Hoyt, the Yankee
youngster who twice before in thia
series had taken Nehf's measure in
close battles. Hoyt was in trobota ia
several innings but except in the fatal
first, when the Giants scored their
only tally on two bases on balls and
an error, he worked himself out bril

eighth and ninth.
Game Saved In Ninth

One Yimkee had retired in the final
frame. This one was "Babe" Ruth
again in uniform, but confining his
activities in the game to the coaching
lines. The Yankee fans, who had been
for eigth innings watching that one
line tally of the Giants loom larger and
larger, picked up hope and cheered
wildly as the "Bambino" stepped to
the plate to bat for Wally Pipp. The
home run king made a valiant try.
but his injured arm had taken the
power from his swing and the best he
could do with Nehf's puzzling delivery
was to 'ground weakly to Kelly.
Aaron Ward was more fortunate. He
waited out Nehf, who had been aome
what wild for several innings, and
finally walked.
Frank Baker, again in the lineup
in place of the injured McNally, came
next. With the count 3 and 2. he
met one of Nehf's offerings squarely.
