New York. Dec. 2.-The World says
editorially: 1t is absurd to say that a
citizen of the United States or of any
state therein has three wives. He can
have but or, wife. No matter how
many ceremonies he may invoke. NJ
matter what his opinions as TO the mat
rinfonial state may be. he has one wife.
and the two other women and their
issue by him. if there be issue, have
no standing.
Therefore, the charge against Rob-
erts comes down to this: That he be-
ing a married man is maintaining un-
lawful relations with two women. Here
Is a criminal charge against man
and two women, for the constitution
of the state of Utah contains the pro-
visions, which can be repealed or rem
dered imperative only by a special
United States statute.
Now, if Roberts and the two women
are guilty. they can and should be
tried and punished by the courts of
Utah. Until they are tried and found
guilty, in the maner prescribed by law,
the legal presumption must be that
they are innocent.
Further. if Roberts is guilty as
charged, the place to prove him guilty
is the court room, not a committee
room of the house of representative
a conviction by a court would take
from him the privileges of citizenship
and would make him constitutioaelly
ineligible 70 a seat in congress
Instead of going to court with their
evidence. the crusaders against poly
gamy have come 10 the house of rep
resentatives. Now, what is involved in
refusal to admit Roberts. as an in
formal caucus of Republican repre-
sentatives resolved last night to do. or
in his expulsion after taking his seat?

Cleveland, o., Dec. George Mueller
of Salt Lake City, Utah, is at the
American House. He owns a bakery
in the metropolis of Utah. Interviewed
on the all-enFrossing Roberts topic to-
day. Mr.. Mueller said:
Il believe that ne Will win and occupy
his seat in congress. If he does | look
for him to become one of the most
prominent and respected men in that
body. He was poor boy and worked
as a blacksmith. When he talks he
makes the sparks fly in the minds of his
hearers, just as he used TO make them
fly from the hot iron on the anvil in
his blacksmith shop He is admired
for his real ability and brilliancy and
honesty by all classes Of people in Salt
Lake, and the people who are not Nor
mons would be almost as reluctant to
lose his services as their congressman
as the Mormons. although they have ne
religious feeling in the matter
'Polygamy is dead, and people in
Utah pay no more attention to whether
a man is a Mormon than you do here 70
whether he is 4 Methodist or an Epis-
copaEan. l do not think that polys-
amy is pTacticed any more except in
the few cases of men who had more
wives than one before the law was
passed Once in a while there is a
prosecution. but they are rare.
do you notice that Mr.. Roberts is
not saying a word in answer TO the
storm of abuse that he is getting? You
may depend on it that he does not
think the time has come for him to
bring forward his side of the case. He is
a fighter from the start, and when ne
gets ready he is going to make the fur
fiy. -

HENDERSON IS CHOSEN.
Republican House Caucus Decides te
Re-enacted Reed Rules.

Washington. Dec. 2.-The caucus of
the house Republicans, which was held
in the hall of the house of representa-
tives tonight, was both interesting and
important. The selection of the candi-
date for speaker and other house Off
GERS was a cut and dried affair, but be-
fore the adjournment of the caucus,
after a discussion lasting almost two
hours. the Republicans, without dis
senting vote. decided to re-enact the
Reed rules.
The selection of a candidate for
speaker by the party in power is usual
ly a very animated affair. but months
ago all the other candidates who en-
tered the field after the retirement of
Speaker Reed. abandoned the contest,
leaving General David b. Henderson of
Iowa the :unopposed candidate His
nomination was. therefore. a foregone
conclusion and he was nominated by
acclamation.
The officers of the last house, except
Colonel Russell, the sergeant t-arms.
were renominated without opposition.
Colonel Russell was not candidate
for reelection and Colonel Henry A.

man, was rolled in the dirt and sat up
on, but escaped with a scratch.
Town Is Excited.
= The occurrences Of the morning have
caused considerable excitement, which
has not yet abated. Much apprehen-
sion has also been occasioned by the
fact which has been definitely ascer-
tanned that the strikers have imported
large quantities of arms and ammuni-
tion from outside points. They are out
spoken in their claim and determined
that the company shall not operate it's
mines. The company is equally firm
in its decision that the mines shall be
worked and its employees protected at
all hazards.
There is no probability, however,
of any outbreak or serious trouble be-
fore Monday, when, it is presumed, an
other attempt vii be made by the COM
pany to work the mines or part of
them. If this is met with opposition
by the strikers. as is probable, blood
shed is likely to follow.

General Henderson came to the cap

in the rear of the house lobby until the
house officers had been selected. He
was then escorted to the rostrun or

"The Southern Pacific and Santa Fe
traffic officials held a meeting in Salt
Lake City last September. and it has
leaked out that they came to an un-
derstanding by which they expect TO di-
vide coast and San Francisco business,
said one of the men who attended the
conference in this city for the purpose
of planning a fight. 1T all resulted
from the Santa Fe gaining an entrance
into San Francisco, and it means, if
carried out, that the competition that
city expected will not follow. 1t works
also to the injury of the lines that pro-
pose to fight the agreement.
1T is understood that the Southern
Pacific agreed to take off its 'Supset

for delivery of special trains from Cal

Judge Henderson Talks.
Judge II. p. Henderson said the fight
in Washington against Roberts was a
polygamy and anti-polygamy fight, and
that any action of the committee en-
dorsing Roberts would be construed
the world over as an endorsement OF
polygamy. This the Democratic party
could not afford to do. Sam A. King,
Byron Groo, r. A. Deal. Z. w. Wilson.
w. H. Dale. J. r. Letcher and a num-
Der of others opposed the resolutions
They opposed any action on the matter
by the committee as unwise and USE
less.
Senator A. o. Smoot of Provo favored
the resolutions. He also said the party
! ought to stand by Rawiins-
Judge King was opposed to the Raw
Inns resolutions. He opposed any in
quisitorial probing into the local affairs
of the Utah people by any congressional
committee.
Senator r. C. Chambers spoke
against any action on the part Of the
committee, although he favored Sena-
tor Rawlins' resolutions.
Powers Offers Compromise.
Judge o. w. Powers made a concilia-
tory speech. He favored non-action on
the part of the committee on the Rob-
erts case: but since a false impression
had gone out as to the attitude of the
executive committee, something should
be done to set the matter right He.
therefore, introduced the resolutions
given above as a substitute for the

After further discussion the substi-
tute was carried by a unanimous vote

Before taking up the Roberts matter
the committee discussed the matter OF

At the opening of the meeting the
matter of admitting reporters was dis

tain member or members, constitution
ally eligible, lawfully elected and un-
doubtedly the chosen representative of
certain constituency or constituent
cies. Why, evidence as to immoral con-
duet or immoral teachings or beliefs
could be got together, could be heard
and approved, and the objectional
member or members could be expel-
led on the very ground on which Rob-
erts will have to be expelled-not that
ne is a convicted felon; not that he
is a proved violator of law; but that it
is against public policy for him TO
take the seat to which he has been
legally elected, and for which he is
qualified, and to exercise the rights of
representation which the people of
Utah have conferred upon him
If any senator or representative has
committed offenses against the laws
of his state, offenses in no way con-
nected with the getting of his seat in
congress. the place to try those of
lenses and to bar the guilty man from
the exalted and sacred privileges of
American citizenship is the place desig-
mated by the constitution of the United

ing order. City Engineer Brooke.
Chairman Hofheiner and Mr.. Guy, of
the Street, Sewer and Drain Depart
ment. and Assistant City Engineer Tay
lor visited the bridge yesterday and
witnessed the working of the draw by
the electric motor. While they were en-
tirely satisfied with it, they will not
accept it at present on behalf OF the
city. When it is established beyond
all doubt that the bridge comes up to
the guarantee, It will be accepted.
The draw span is $50 feet long, one
OF the lengthiest in the country. 1t
weighs thousands OF tons. yet when it
turns on the circular base the weight
of a man on one end will cause it to
sag Slightly. The draw can be opened
and closed within three minutes. When
closed, 1t is secured at either end by
heavy iron bolts. The bridge is paved
with asphalt between the sidewalks,
which are granolithic.
The cars will soon be running across
the bridge. Atlantic City will then
have car service equal to any In
cars going both over the Atlantic City
and the Client bridges, both ways.
The Councils have been asked to
authorize the Street. Sewer and Drain
Department to employ n man to work
the draw. Until this authority Is
granted, this work will be done by
one OF the Edgemoor bridge people
An average OF about twenty vessels
pass through the draw daily.
