The Senate committee on privileges and elections today In the Investigations of the protests against Senator Smoot of Utah, brought out a variety of testimony, ot which Ihe most sensational was that given by Francis M. Lyman, president of tho twelve apostles of the Mormon church and the man chosen to he the successor to President Smith. His admissions were similar to those previously made by Mr. Smith pertaining to the church government. He Is more free of speech than the President of the church and his testimony, though not materially differing, caused sever al of the apostles present to shake their heads at the witness for the purpose of compelling more discretion In answering questions. Mr. Lyman is angularly built, his face is covered with a growth of bushy red whisker and his speech Is blunt. Four witnesses were on the stand today. They were Mrs. Kennedy, her mother, Mrs. Matthews, Charles Merrill, the son of Apostle Merrill and Mr. Lyman. Mr. Lyman said the principle of getting consent was that a shepherd could not leave his flock of sheep un Ga-mo- va SAIL. MAY TRY to Worlds Sunday 6chcol Convention. Kew York, March .8.
