After the session of the conference had adjourned, a Telegram man asked one of tha apostles who in the quorum he thought had been objected to by the person who protested when the confirmation con-firmation was called for. He said: "I do not know, of course, but it strikes me that the objections were against the confirmation of Apostles John W. Taylor and Matthias W. Cowley. Cow-ley. I understood the objections to be directed against them." "Why were the objections filed!?" ."I presume the protests were filed because of the fact- that those apostles did not go to Washington In the matter mat-ter of the Investigation of the right of Brother Smoot to retain his seat in the Senate, i ...,.. . . . "Were those apostles subpoenaed in the Senator Smoot case?" . i"No, they were never subpoenaed, though there were subpoenas out for them. They were not in the State at that time, you will remember." "What action will the church take In the matter of the protests ?' - "The protstants will have to take their grievance to the bishop's court In the ward In Vhlch they have membership, mem-bership, and there state their rases. If. the bishop's court feels that the objections objec-tions are based on gocd and sufficient grounds, they will be carried higher." Owing to the great crowd, It ws Impossible Im-possible for any of the authorities of the church, or Jhe representatives of the papers, to learn who had made the objections.1 , ..." - ; . ,; . a : j. -" ' - -: ' '. TWO APOSTLES ARE OBJECTED TO BY .SOME : MEMBER OF CHURCH An unusual Incident attracted the attention at-tention of the vast congreg: Ion at the Tabernacle yesterday afternoon. The conference had received reports from presidents of missions in various parts of the country, showing that the church -was prosperous in its growth, and that it was making advances along the lines that they had not been able to advance along before. , Then President Smith announced that the authorities of the church would be announced, to be sustained by the church or rejected. - The vote was unanimous for the sustaining sus-taining of the authorities, with two ex. ceptions. It is usual for the members to sustain all of the officials without protest, but in this instance the rule was abandoned and objection was raised to the sustaining of the quorum of twelve apostles. . When the names of the twelve were read, the president, who was placing the names before the conference, was interrupted twice by a voice from the gallery at the left of the speaker, saying. say-ing. "I object," and by the objecting person raising his hand. - .The incident created an unusual amount of Interest, and every person of the eight or nine thousand In the great building turned as by a common impuUe to see who it was that objected., ob-jected., " 1 When the reports had been received from the mission presidents. President Smith arose, holding a sheet of typewritten type-written paper. Then, amid the profound silence that always greets his remarks, he said: "Brethren and Sisters: Today Is the seventy-fifth anniversary of the organization organ-ization of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, and the time has come for the authorities of the church to be sustained or rejected by the body of the church. .. "I would like to say this at this time: It Is expected that every Latter-day Saint will exercise his right to vote for or against those who are presented to you today. It Is your privilege to vote to accept or reject those who are named In authority, and it is your prlv. liege to exercise your right to' vote freely." The names and offices of the authorities authori-ties were then read singly, save with the exception of those groups of officers under one head, which were read . all together. All were sustaine I without protest, except the twelve. , At the conclusion of this formality. President Smith said: - "The voting throughout has been unanimous with but two exceptions. Those who take exception can make their grievances known through the proper authorities of the church, in the wards in which they live, and through proper church channels." . . The official roster of the church, as confirmed and sustained by the confer-ence. confer-ence. Is as follows: " Joseph F.
