der In hOuse---Democrats
Make Protest.

"A Washington dispatch says: Mr.
Roberts, the Mormon representative
elect, was not in the hall when the
house convened Friday. It was agreed
Immediately after the reading Of the
journal that when the house adjourned
it be TO Monday.
Mr.. Dazoll, Of Pennsylvania, from
the committee on rules then presented

ton Of a committee on insular affairs

diotion "over all matters excepting

Mr.. Dalzell then offered tho resolu-

debate beginning Monday until Fri

rule on Saturday and a vote upon the
bill Immediately after the reading Of
the journal on Monday, the 18th.
Mr.. Bailey, of Texas, declared that
the proposed course of the majority
was without precedent or defense. He
made an elaborate argument to prove
that it was proposition to hastily de-
termine a question to which the best
and most careful consideration should
be given.
Messrs. Bailey, Richardson, Griggs,
of New York, and others spoke for the
Democrats, and Grosvenor, Dalzell
and Cannon, of Illinois, spoke for the
Republicans, Grosvenor closing with
a spirited suggestion to the Democrats
to be cautious on the money question
lest the Democratic party felt more
keenly the effect of a losing issue.
Mr.. Dalzell closed the debate fol

AN ANSWER TO ROBERTS
Is Issued By Delegation OF Gentiles
From Utah.


An answer to Mr.. Brigham Roberts
address to the American people was
issued Friday by a delegation repre-
senting the Gentle element in Utah,
who are in Washington to oppose Mr..
Roberts. The answer in part is as fol-
lows:
SIN this mornings papers Mr.. Rob-
erts makes an appeal for sympathy in
which are many statements needing
correction, while many facts are sup
pressed.
"Mr Roberts says he has not been
convicted since statehood It does
not follow that he is innocent. He is
now a fugitive from justice in Salt
Lake county, on a charge of unlawful
cohabitation and in Davis county,
Utah, where resides one of the polyg-
amous wives with her illegitimate
twins born August II, 1879 charge
of adultery IA felony under the laws of
Utah) has been for two months pigeon.
holed by a Mormon prosecuting at
torney.
Mr.. Roberts in his attempt to be-
little his crimes insists that he is only
charged with a misdemeanor. He
knows better. He knows that he has
been, under oath and before the proper
prosecuting officers, charged with the
felony of adultry as well as the misde-
meanor of unlawful cohabitation.
"Many sentimental people are be-
ing misled by Mr.. Roberts very inge-
NOUS suggestions from which some
people infer that he took his polyga-
nous wives when it was lawful to dc
so. This is a mistake. Adultery was
crime in Utah when Mr.. Roberts was
born, and at the time of the passage Of
the Cullom anti-polygamy act Mr..
Roberts was only years old. His
plea for sympathy, therefore, amounts
only to this, that he should be allowed
to continue his criminal practice not
withstanding he took his polygamoul
wives in defiance of the law. We de-
mand that he should support his fam
lilies, but also demand that he shall
cease the begetting of further illegiti
mate offspring, and this is our only
bone of contention, the only thing de
handed which he refuses to WELD. "

BAR ARRAIdNs GRAND JURY.
Atlanta Lawyers Hit Back at Fore
man Johnson.

Without foundation, improper, I'M
true and scandalous is the verdict of
the special committee of the Atlanta
Bar association on the arraignment of
the grand jury and Foreman Joseph
III. johnson.
The report of the committee was
submitted at meeting Of the associa-
ton Saturday morning in the superior
court room, and was eagerly listened
to by as many lawyers and citizens as
the room would hold.
The committee admitted that there
were some unworthy members of the
bar in the city, but stated that their
number was so few as not to warrant
the special presentment and the man
ner in which it was made.
Foreman johnson, who was seen
after the meeting, said:

Election Commissioners OF
Kentucky So Decide.
STATE GOES REPUBLICAN
Bitterly Fought Contest Comes 10 an
End--GOebeI Advised TO Submit
With Good Grace.

A special from Frankfort, Ky, says:
At 9;l5 o'clock Saturday morning the
election certificate Of William s. Tay-
Tor was signed by the election commits
sioners and he was declared to be gov.
ernor-elect Of Kentucky.
The official figures Of the vote filed
with Secretary Of State Finley are:
Taylor, 1913, ia; Goebel, 19l, 331; Tay-
lor's plurality, 1888.
The operation, which ended for the
time being at least, the bitterly fought
gubernatorial contest, was conducted
In the simplest manner. The majority
opinion of Commissioners Pryor and
Ellis and the minority opinion of Com
missioner Poyntz, which were issued
Saturday morning, were not read rs
was the original intention. The three
commissioners walked first to the Office
of the clerk Of the state supreme court
where they filed two opinions. They
then passed into the Office Of the sec
rotary of state. Clerk Chenault, of
the board of commissioners, read the
figures showing that the Repub-
lican candidates for Offices on the
state ticket had received the larg-
est number of votes and then certif-
Gates Of election were signed at once,
that Of Mr.. Taylor being first on the
list.
All Republican candidates for state
Offices were then furnished with COM
missions by Governor Bradley
Goebel seems to take his defeat phil
osophically. He had been advised by
many friends who supported him with
vigor to let the Republicans have the
Offices without further contest as the
keeping alive of the political feeling
would do an infinite harm.
Mr.. Taylor was modest and reticent
as usual.
81 expected it, of course" said he,
81 knew that if the commissioners
went by the law and the evidence they
could do nothing else than decide the
way they have done"
Commissioner Poyntz declined to
sign the Republican certificates of
election, saying that he stood by the
opinion that he had rendered, and
could not consistently do so. He con-
sented to sign the certificates of the
railroad commissioners, however.
The official returns developed the
peculiar fact that 10000 Democrats
and an equal number of Republicans
did not know how to vote the Austria
liam ballot, as both Goebel and Taylor
ran ahead of other men on their re-
spective tickets 10000 votes; and
John Young Brown, while receiving
only $4,000 ran 1900 ahead of his
ticket. 1t seems that %, 200 voters
thought that by marking the name Of
the candidate for governor they were
voting the entire ticket Of their choice.

the House and Senate.

A Washington special says: Before
the house met Thursday the Republic
cans and Democratic leaders attempted
to perfect an agreement for the debate
on the financial bills, but the negotia-
tions failed. The Republican leaders
then decided to resort to a special rule
to be brought in Friday. Mr.. Over

charge of the bill, introduced the for
nal resolution for a special order,
upon which the committee. on rules
will act. 1t provides for the consider
alton of the beginning on Monday and
continuing until a date decided upon

After the reading Of the journal, the
speaker announced the appointment Of

He asked that an arrangement be
made for commencing the debate
| Tuesday. Mr.. Richardson, the mi
nority leader. said the proposal was
most unusual. 1t was that most
important measure, pefected in all its
details during the recess by members
on the other side should be brought
into the houfe without being consid-
cred in committee and taken up on
