SIDES WITH ROBERTS.
Professor hudson Declares Congress
Acted Wrongly In Utah Case.

(Chicago News)
Professor Harry Pratt Judson. head
professor of constitutional law in the
University of Chicago. declared today
to his class that congress was in the
wrong in refusing to seat Brigham
Roberts as congressman from Utah.
The statement was made in answer. to
question of a student as to the legal
ity of the action in the Roberts case.
The present action is totally wrong
and exceedingly unfortunate in every
detail" said Professor Judson. Con-
gress has no right to judge as to a rep
resentative's qualifications. except con-
stitutional qualifications-that is, age,
citizenship and legality of election. 1t
has, however, the power of refusing a
seat by a two-thirds vote
THE proper proceedings of congress
wcu have been to let Mr.. Roberts take
his seat like any other representative.
and then If he has been found to be
breaking the law, to expel him by
two-thirds vote OF the house
This talk about violating the mere
technicality is exceedingly dangerous.

Especial Correspondence.l

Cheyenne, Wyo.. Dec. 10.-Engineer
Ballard and his crew Of surveyors, who
have been at work for several months
surveying the Alliance-Ogden line OF
the Burlington through the North Lar

south from Alliance to Brush, Colo,
on the Denver line of the Burlington.
They said that they will return to
Sterling, Colo, at once and complete
the work of running the line men,
toned. 1t is the intention of the Bur-
lington company to commence work on
the north and south line between Den
Yer and the Black hills early in the
spring of next year and have the road
in operation before the close of 1900
The work just completed by the Bur-
lington surveyors in the North Laramie
canyon was one of the most difficult
feats in engineering in the west. 1t
will require several months work with
hundreds of men to build the road
through that section. The engineers
stated that they had completed the
survey of the line to Ogden as far west
as Cow creek on the Laramie plains,
and that from that point two corps
have been working all summer and are
now working, with instructions to COM
plete the line to Ogden not later than
