CAUGHT FROM SHAVING.
Example of Infectious Nature of tCu-
ban Chickenpox."

Roy Hammond. the Topeka barber who
is now seriously i'll with smallpox or Gu
ban chickenpOX'' at his home at ga Han
cock street, caught the disease by shaw
ing a man who at that time was suffering
from the first symptoms only.
The man is Santa F'e shop emplOye,
and the day he was shaved in HammOnd'S
shop he had visited the Santa Fe hospital
for the purpose of securing medicine. At
the hospital his trouble was diagnosed
shaved him he noticed two or three pus-
tular formations on his forehead.
That was on November % Inside of q
few days the Santa Fe man was taken
i'll with the prevalent disease and after
the lapse of the number of days neceS-
sary for smallpox to develop Hammond
This goes to show that the disease is
contagious in the early stages and makes
vigilance on the part of the health Of
4icers dOubly necessary.
There were five new cases of the disease
reported and two fumigatiOns. today.

ROBERTS ARGUES.
Contests His Case Inch by Inch
In Committee.

WASHINGTON, Dec. 9.-The considera-
ton of the case Of Mr.. Roberts of Utah
was resumed at 10 o'clock this morning
by the house Investigating committee,
Mr.. Roberts being. present to plead to
certain specific heterogeneous which
had been framed. The proceedings con-
tinued to be Sehind closed doors. Mr..
Roberts was first asked if he conceded
the existence of the court record where
in he pleaded guilty in 1889 under the
Edmunds-Iucker law. This he con-
ceded He was next asked whether
about 1870 or since 1890 he had married
plural wives and had lived with them
since that time as wives.
To the whole of this charge Roberts
pleaded not guilty and then demurred
to the jurisdiction of the committee for
the following reasons:
First-On the ground of violation of
constitutional rights in that it at
tempted to trv- him for a crime without
presentment of indictment by grand
jury and without trial before a jury
and due process of law.
Second-That it was an attempt to
deprive him of vested property that he
held in the emOluments Of an office for
the full term.
Third-That the only evidence that
could be rightfully considered in the com
nittee was a court record and the guilt
fi2Se-eIecf and thar the Committee has no
right to consider any other evidence.
Fourth-That the crime alleged, namely
that Of unlawful cOha bitatf0n even il
proven would not constitute a sufficient
crime to bar a member. or deprive him
of his seat because innocence of poly
gamy or unlawful cOhabitatiOn is nowhere
enumerated in the constitution as quail
ification for office of member of congress,
nor is it named in any United States law
applicable to Utah any other state
Mr. Roberts argued these points for
nearly two hours referring to law books
and answering queries. It was a legal
controversy throughout the facts not be-
ing gone into at length.
Mr. Roberts Concluded by asking that
his prima facie right to a seat be at
once considered. as TIE present status
denied to a sovereign state representa-
ton in the house at a time when injurious
legislation affecting that state might take
place.
At the conclusion of Mr.. Roberts state
ment the committee held an executive SeS-
sion and then adjourned until p; m The
chairman announced that SUBSEQUENT
was given to the official stenOgrapher' )
report of the morning session.

He Wrapped His Horses Bit With
Barbed Wire.

The Foster Humane society has in
its possession a bit that would rival the
terrible roller and curbed bits used in

out in every direction and must have
cut the horses mouth in a horrible
manner.
This society is doing good practical
work. 1t investigates all such instances
