Kimball, general secretary and father of the first council of seventy of the Mormon enureh, who was credited In a special dispatch from Logan to the Salte Lake Tribune on Sunday last with defending polygamy and declaring before the Cache stake conference that congress would be unable to stop the practice, has issued a signed statement in which he dec-tares that the report attributing to him any defense of the practice of polygamy Is false. He says polygamy was not referred to In his talk In any way. What he said referred to the declaration of some eastern women that poor families should mot have so many children, and was: will have quite a time in trying to prevent poor people having large numbers of children.” Continuing Kimball says: T then bore my testimony that Mormomlsm Is true, and that ‘Mormonism cannot be destroyed, and the-more they try to destroy the more It will grow. I believe In It and I will live It.’ ”
