to break jail. The girl had been left
to look after the jail in the absence of

discovered Ports in the act of opea-

outer entrance. In a moment Ports

ran. Overtaking officers she directed
them where to look for the fugitive,
who was captured and brought back
to jail.
Ports several days ago shattered a
window of a jewelry store ia day-
light and snatched diamonds from the
window display. He and an accom-
plice were captured and are awaiting

SMOOT KEEPS SECRETS
Refuse to Reveal Endowment
House Ceremonies.
BIG SUMS GIVEN TO THE CHURCH
A Milliecn or More Contributed Each
Year, Part for Education and
Some Invested.
The cross-examination of Senator
Smoot before the Senate Investigating
Committee resulted in absolute refus-
al to testify in regard to the endow-
ment ceremonies. He also asserted
that it was not his business to call
to account President Smith, of the
hiormon church, because Mr. Smith
had admitted to the committee that
he was living in violation of the laws
of the land. Three other witnesses
refused to divulge the character of
the endowment ceremonies.
“The first presidency is supreme in
everything pertaining to the church,”
said Senator Smoot, in answer to a
question by Chairman Burrows. He
also said in explanation, “of course,
when it comes to a question of revela- |
tion that is to be binding upen the |
people of the church the president
himself receives it and it must be ac- |
cepted by the people.”
“Do I understand you to sa
the apostles are not prophets?”
ed Chairman Burrows.
“I say they are sustained as prop-
hets, but I do not think a man is
a prophet at any time unless he
speaks by the spirit of prophecy. In
other words, I do not believe that a
man has always that spirit of prop-
hecy with him.”
“Do you think the president of the
acle
asK-
church communicates directly with
God—has direct revelation?”
“If God desires to speak to his
people it would be through the presi-
dent of the church.”
Asked why he would not
the endowment secret he said:
“For conscientious reasons. I
made a vow, not an oath, with my
God, not with any man, not with the
president of the church or with a liv-
ing soul, but I did make a vow that
I would keep these endowment cere-
monies sacred and not reveal them to
anybody, and I have kept that all my
life and if I went out of the church
to-morrow and remained out of the
church until I was grayheaded, 1
would never feel that it was my duty
or that I should divulge what little I
even remember of them.”
"The Senator was asked a number
of other questions regarding the
ceremony, which he preferred not to
answer.
“Do you know why
secrecy was imposed?”
“It is purely a religious ordinance—
refers absolutely to a man’s here-
after, and has nothing whatever to
do with anything other than man’s
relation to his God. and 1 suppose
that it is an ordinance in the church
znd the rule is that it be not reveal-
ed.”
“Do you know how much money is
paid into the church annually
tithes?” asked Senator Overman.
“I could not say except as guess.”
“As much as a million dollars?”
“Some years more and some less,
understand.”
“How is this money expended?”
“Well, there is about $140,000 for
about $100,000
| for the feeding of the poor, a great
| deal for the expenses of missionar-

ies.
Pursuing his inquiry Chairman Bur-

jonally.
“Do you teach polygamy?”
#1 do not.”
“Do you preach against polygamy
| or. unlawful cohabitation?”

“I never have. I do not know why
I should. Ti is not a tenet of the
faith. It has been suspended and I
think it would not be proper for me to |

DOOM OF AUTOCRACY SOUNDED.
Empire Is Hopelessly Rent and Peace
Under Present Conditions Is Im-
possible.
The Telegraph’s St. Petersburg cor-
respondent dispatches as follows:
“Russia is cloven in twain and no
human force can weld the parts to-
gether. On one side stands the auto-
crat whose behests are still mechani-
cally fulfilled by his army, which,
however, is a section of the people.
On the other hand stands the entire
united in the determination
to deliver itself from a yoke which
has now become unbearable. The
army is acting in virtue of use and
wont, and in time will come over to
its own kith and Kin.”
The correspondent declares that in
the whole empire there is but one
official so utterly loathed at Trepoff,
and that is Gen. Hleighals of Keiff,
who may yet be minister of the in-
terior. That, the correspondent says,
alone proved that the autocracy has
declared war against the Russian
nation. He asserts that arrests have
been so numerous that the fortresses
and prisons are overcrowded.
The Standard’s St. Petersburg cor-
respondent gives the raport that
Count Tolstoi has sent $5,000 to the
wounded. A rumor was in circula-
tion in Berlin tonight that Grand
Duke Sergius has been assassinated.
It probably has no foundation, merely
arising from the fact that his where-
abouts are unknown
GUILT oF TUCKER PROVEN.

Guilty of murder in the first de-

Death in the electric chair in the State
ison in Charlestown is the penalty.
As the announcement of the finding
of the jury was made knowns Tucker
collapsed utterly when the foreman
read the verdict. He was led from
the courtroom across the street to
the jail in an exhausted condition
and when once more locked in his
cell revived somewhat under stimu-
lants administered by a physician.
Mrs. Albert J. Tucker, the mother
of the prisoner, was spared the an-
guish of listening to her son’s fate
from the lips of Foreman Knight. At
the suggestion of one of the counsel-
ors for the defense she left the court-
room before the jury returned for the
last time. On learning the news she
was overwhelmed.

In a battle in a river bed near

of the outlaw Felizardo, attacked the
town of San Francisco de Malabon,

aight, 10 ladrones have been killed
and seven taken prisoners. There
have been no casualties among the
scouts and constabulary. wevere
fighting continues.
In their attack on the town the la-
drones captured the wife and two
children of Gov. Trias These, to-
gether with several native women
prisoners, were seen with the la-
drones, but an attempt to rescue them
was unsuccessful.
In their raid the outlaws looted the
municipal treasury of $2,000 and 25
rifles were also secured. The rebels
were dressed in constabulary uni-

erty at Yatesboro—Damage
not Heavy.
. An attempt was made early yester-
day morning to burn the Buffalo,
Rochester and Pittsburg railroad sta-
tion at Yatesboro, Armstrong county,
Pa., which is connected with the main
line of that road by a branch from
Echo. A laundry basket, which had
been left on the station platform, was
filled with shavings and waste, which
were saturated with oil. The basket
was then placed at a corner of the
building and fired. When discovered
€ | the flames were coming out of the
roof, but were finally extinguished af-
ter $400 damage had resulted. It is
believed that the firebugs, who left
no clue, set fire to the station with
the hope it would ignite the com:

tance away.
