WOMEN AFTER ROBETRS
Will Try to Prevent Seating of
the Utah Congressman.

New York, Dec. s.-The Herald to-
morrow will say:
Efforts to prevent Brigham II. Rob-
erts, epresentative-elect FROM Utah,
from taking his seat IN the F1fty-sixth
congress because he is a poly gamist
and advocates that doctrine of the Nor
mon church, are to have the organized
support of hundreds Of thousands of wo-
men in the United States. The initial
WOHans movement is to take orga-
niZed form in this city at a meeting of
the Presbyterian WOman's Board Of
Home Missions on December 20
There are a hundred thousand MEM
bers OF the Presbyterian Home Mis-
sion's society alone in the United States.
The home missions societies of the Con-
gregationa1 and Baptist churches are
preparing to make a similar campaign
against Roberts and the Women'S So
cieties Of other denominations are be-
coming interested in the fight. It is
intended that all shall cooperate.
The Congregational Home Missionary
society Will take the matter up at
meeting to be held at the st. Denis
hotel IN January.
This movement Is not to be confined
to missionary societies but is to be
started through them as a convenient
way Of arousing interest over the entire
country.
The women are to give information
regarding the Roberts case and the sup
posed danger Of the revival of polygamy
and to unite in obtaining personal let
ters to representatives in all districts
throughout the country, protesting
against the seating Of an avowed po-
1yganist.
Rev William r. Campbell, who has
spent 21 years in Utah among the Nor
mons, is in New York, taking an active
part in the fight against poIygamy. He
with another speaker who has lived
among the MOrmOnS will probably ad-
dress the coming meetings. Mr.. Camp
bell will dwell especially on the revival
Of polygamy IN Utah. He says that the
Presbytery of Utah is in touch with
only 20 Of the $40 postoffices in Utah.
Reports received from these show 1000
cases Of polygamy and that 1000 po-
lygamist children have been born since
1895
In the women's fight against Roberts
1t is to be urged that If he is seated the
Mormon church VIII grant dispensations
to many men to take more wives. Mis-
sionaries who have been studying the
Utah situation say that many polyga-
mists are now making arrangements to
that end.
Mrs. Darwin r. James, president of
the Woman's Board Of Home Missions,
will preside at the meeting on December
20 in the Presbyterian building.

LEASE ZOE A BIG STORE.
Siegel, Cooper & Co. Chicago, Take
the Letter Building at 100000
Per Year Rental

Chicago, Dec. 9-After figuring on
various other locations for several
months Siegel, Cooper & co. have closed
an agreement with Levi z. Letter for
a ten-year extension of their lease on
the premises they now occupy in State
street, between Van Buren, and Con-
gress streets. The present lease, which
runs for three years more, calls for
$3.50 900 a year, but Mr.. Letter agrees
to amend the lease so as to reduce this
amount, beginning January l, to 5000 900
annually, and maintain that rate for
period Of ten years. from January 1,
1902.
Early last spring s4egeL Cooper &
Co. determined to move from the Letter
building to a location farther north in
State street. They felt they were pay
ing too much rent. With the present
lease they had an option Of renewal at
the end Of the term for five years more
at $500, 600 a year, but declined to con-
slider this in the early stages Of the
negotiations.
Siegel, Cooper & Co, IN the negotiations
for other locations, say Potter Palmer
came near disposing of his hotel to the
firm. Had this deal gone through the
Palmer House would have been torn
down to make room for a new building.
Mr.. Palmer negotiated personally with
the brokers, and asked a ground rental
of 100000 a year for the property where
the Palmer House stands. On a per
cent basis this shows a valuation of
S8,000,0O0 on the property. A syndicate
actually was formed to take this prop
erty from Mr.. Palmer and put up a
sixteen story building, in which SiegeI,
Cooper & Co. would have taken the low
er seven stories. A hitch occurred in
the syndicate's financial arrangements
and the project fell through.
State street of 400 feet and in Congress
State street Of 400 fet and in CONGRESS
and Van Buren streets Of 143 feet The
ground was valued at the tax commits
sion at S2,74O, 600 and the building at
81, 1892 790, making a total of S4I32 100
The rental of 5000, 900, which SiegeI,
Cooper & Co. will pay, is per cent on a
upon a valuation Of $4,000, 600
It was reported some time ago as a
rumor that the property had been given
to Mrs. Curzon as a present from her
father This was never verified. Mr.
Letter went to Washington after clos
ing the lease.

RUSSIA'S CINCH
In China Can Only Be Broken by
England and America Together.

Shanghai, Dec. 9.-John Barrett,
formerly U. S. minister to Siam, has re-
turned here after visiting Pekin and the
principal Chinese ports. He says the
situation In China is Of the most critical
nature and that Manchuria. is nolonger
Chinese but Russian territory. He as
serts that NJ Chwang, the chief north
ern port for the movement of American
products, is also practically Russian
and is liable to be closed any day
The only permanent safeguard to the
paramount American and British in
terests, Mr.. Barrett says, is immediate
and united action by the interested gov
ernments to defend the territory of the
Chinese empire, to enforce reforms in
the government to prevent further ces-
sion of ports and provinces and to in
sist upon the open door policy in all
ports of China, including the spheres
Of Influence claimed by Russia, Ger
many and France. Otherwise Mr.. Bar
rett contends the impending partition
of the Chinese empire will seriously cur
tail the field Of trade by disastrously
affecting American and British influence
