The committee on organisation of a "Liberal" or American party reported in favor of enlarging the committee and giving further consideration to the method of making a fight against church Influence. This report also was adopted. Farley L. Williams presided at the meeting, and J. B. Moreton was secretary, as on the previous occasion.

We protest that we are not deserving of this sort of praise; on the contrary we most emphatically repudiate and repel the statement, which, in fact, if an allegation that we, knowing of his defiant lawlessness, are accessories to his Crimea We declare, on the contrary, that he .. and the other polygamists have with an Impenin their perpetration of the misdeeds testified to, have systematically suppressed the record of births required by law, and It has been impossible through court process and otherwise to obtain any exact knowledge of what Is being don, much less legal evidence of the often an;, that the public sentiment of the people here has at ah times been zealous for the punishment of polygamy and polygamous practices, as well as of other crimes. Owing to the power and control of the polygamist hlerarachy over their people and the pressure they have constantly brought to bear upon them in support of the special crime to which they are prone, it has become a matter of discipline with all who are under that dominance to refrain from talking about polygamous relations and to deny knowledge of the same on all occasions. The one who who would reveal his knowledge of these matters kas been stigmatized as a traitor, a spy nd an informer and among the devotees of the Mormon church lb held to be Infamous. Whoever betrays the Polygamist is subject, to ostracism, abuse, deprivation of business and to 'wy penalty which unbridled, unscrupulous power can Inflict It has therefore been impossible to know what was being done in this notwithstanding strong suspicions of the facts entertained by many Persona The veil has been lifted In Pert for the first time in the testimony bat hns Just been given by the church lenders in Washington, and nowhere In the whole country did this y occasion so much astonishment nd humiliation as in Utah.

Tour committee recognises, however that the questions Involved in such action require such wisdom as can only come from careful consideration and further deliberation by a larger committee. Entertaining that view, we respectfully recommend to the meeting the propriety of the selection and appointment of a committee consisting of twenty-fiv- e representative citisena in eymapthy with this movement and who shall be authorized to confer together and give the matter such careful consideration as will enable them to present a definite plan of organisation tor the purpose of furthering such views.

The secretary stated that it seemed impossible to finish the surveys in time to open the reservation by next October. Senator Smoot will appear before the Indian committee this morning and urge striking out the provision, and it la understood the secretary will make no objection. The reservation cannot be opened until the law providing for the same is complied with, and if it is not complied with by October the reservation cannot be opened. The effect therefore of striking out the provision inserted In the house will be to give Secretary Hitchcock authority to open the reservation Just as soon as preliminaries are completed. Governor Wells has telegraphed Mr. Howell, protesting against the postponement, as have other prominent people In Utah, and this fact was called to the secretary's attention at the conference.

SALT LAKE and VICINITY AND NEARBY J DEADLOCK BROKEN IN THE CITY COUNCIL The solid opposition of the nine Republican mmebers of the city council to appointments by Mayor Morris has been broken by Councllmen Neuhau-se- n and Preece serving notice upon their colleagues that they would no longer be bound by the caucus agreement that no business could be transacted by the Republicans in conference unless the entire nine were present. Councilman Preece, It is said, has even gone so far as to tell his associates that he Is going over to the mayor; that he Is getting tired of the deadlock, and Is of the opinion that the time has come when something must be done. Councilman Neuhausen said that for the present he would atay with the Republicans, but he was tired of being bound by the agreement proposed by A. J. Davis that nothing be done unless all nine Republicans were present at caucuses.

The object of the meeting Is to try and come to some agreement on appointments. Since the latter part of last week several of the Republicans have had talks with the mayor on that subject.
