Boberts, of Suit Lake, Utah, to emigres, nnd certain charges clrru lated by the Presbyterian board of missions. President Lnrenso Snow of the .Mormon church, furnished a signed statement. In which he says, In part: "I declare most solemnly and em phatically that the statement which lire being published to the effect thnt the Mormon church Is encouraging mid teaching- polygamy are utterly un it ue. Kver since the Issuance of the manifesto on this subject by the Pres ident Wllford Wood 111 fT, my predei csfor In olllce. polygamous or plural inmrhiges hnve entirely ceased In Utah. "The Implied understanding with the nation when Utuh entered the union 111 n state hns been sacredly observed. The ennbllng net r-.'iulied a provision In the legislation of the stnte of Utah that polygamous or plural marriages should be forever prohibited. Heavy penalties are provided for In case of their violation. "The election of Mr. B. H. Boberts to the olllce of lepleselitatlve In con gress from Utah was an entirely se cular nITulr.

It Is proper for me to state, ns I do most positively, that the charge which, Imid, ntlcnlly, nffects the church of which we are both members, I entirely without foundation In fact. If he should be unsi-nted the result as to polygamy would be no different, "There hnve been 110 polygamous niuriiiiges since ixdil. There is no movement In the church for the re vival of such union. I nm personally opposed to any such change. My as sociates In the leadership of the church unite with me In this determination.
