| jury of the state wherein the crime

THE proposition is not to deprive
me of my seat in congress by the pres

crime before courts before which [
| have been found guilty, but to try me
before the committee of the House, to
send for persons and papers and wit
nesses to ascertain my guilt or inno-
cence Of an alleged misdemeanor, rep
resented to have been committed in
Utah. 1t will be useless to deny this
statement by saying that in the charge
against me which resulted in the APP
pointment Of this extraordinary com
mittee of investigation, it is said that
a transcript of the proceedings Of a
court in Utah evidences the fact that
the member from Utah pleaded guilty
to misdemeanor ten years ago, and
when Utah was a territory. Whatever
political disabilities were created by
that event, were removed by the SOW
ereign state of Utah when, in the adop-
ton of her state constitution in 1895, she
declared what should be the qualifica-
tions of her electorate, and l possess
them all. And this side of the enabling
act and the admission of Utah, l am
at the defiance Of my enemies to pro-
duce any court record of conviction of
crime, or at any time since the misde-
meanor of 1889, and the House has no
right to proceed upon any other evil
dence.
Il deny the existence of the lawful
power Of the House to prevent me from
being sworn in on the presentation of
prima facie evidence upon which others
are admitted to membership.

solve itself into the justice of the peace

legged to have been committed in order
to find grounds of expulsion or exclu-
sion from the high office to which 1
was elected.
II deny its right to confer any such
power upon it's committee.
IF I were guilty of the misdemeanor
charged, even f1agrantly so here in the
capital-I could not even be arrested
for the offense. so slight is it considered
under the law
But why this appeal to the American
people? Because by these safeguards
of the rights and liberties of the indi-
vidual and of the states, are being
broken down, and many of your repre-
sentatives are too cowardly to even
make a protest against such proceed
ings, because they fear they would en-
danger their chances for reelection.
ut is true that the representative
from Utah is a Mormon, and Just now
against the Mormon people there is a
wave of popular sentiment, created by
falsehood. chiefly by the charge that
Utah has broken her compact with the

gamy; that her people contemplate the
revival of polygamous marriages; that

all astir she bethought herself of her
own little property and ran back to try
to save it.
When she reached the second floor she
found flames and smoke pouring from
the door leading into the hall, which
she had left open. She tried to turn
back, but the smoke was so dense
that she could not mount the stairway.
The flames darted toward her and she
lost consciousness and fell. But there
was help at hand she did not know of.
Policeman White had heard the cry
of fire and turned in an alarm. Then
he entered the house and dashed up the
stairway. At the top he saw woman
lettering as, with night clothes on fire,
she made an attempt to pass the flames
that reached toward her. AS she fell
he caught her.
He carried her down stairs and into
nearby drug store, where alleviating
drugs were applied to the burns of her
face and arms. In few minutes an
ambulance took her to the hospital.

LOOKS LIKE OLD TIMES.
Ward Five is Alive With Candidates.
and Their Friends.

While the political situation is re-
markedly quiet, it is only necessary to
take a walk through the territory en-
braced in the fifth ward to become con-
WINGED that there is one section of the
city, at least, where work is being
done. One of the old campaigners who
had occasion to do a little missionary
work in the ward last night, said the
fitting about from house to house of
ghostly figures, took him back to the
good, old days when political fights
meant something. He called at one
house where the wife of the man he
wished to see said he was the tenth
man who had called to see her husband
on matters of a political nature within
4S hours.
The same individual claimed rumors
of plots and counter plots were on the
lips of nearly every one he met. From
what he could learn, it seemed a case Of
every one for himself, and the devil for
the hindmost. The friends of William
j. Bragg and Frederick Clee, candi-
dates for the common council from
ward 5, are doing the hardest kind of
work, and say it is only necessary to
have the voters come out, to insure a
sweeping republican victory In addi-
ton. 1t is claimed that sufficient work
has been put in to insure the full vote,
and that ward will be anchored in the
republican column firmer than ever be-
fore.
Nor is all the work confined to the
republican side of the house. James
F. Timon and his friends are making
a thorough and systematic house to
house canvass, and with members of
the various trades unions putting in
every possible minute for Thomas F.
Harvey, to say nothing of an occa-
sional worker going over the ground for
some aldermanie candidate, ward is

ing ground.
The men who favor Bertram K. Stow
ell, the republican nominee for the
school committee, claim to be making
big gains, and that unless something
unlocked for takes place, they will land
a republican for the school committee.
1t is realized that DR.. John T. Duggan
is a formidable candidate and that it
will be hard work to win out with such
a man in the field, but rumors to the
effect that a drive would be made at
DR.. Duggan among the democrats, give
the friends of Mr.. Stowell reason for
encouragement

room Of the Boston Store in the Clark
block, on Main street, by night watch
man Thomas Ryan. He ran to the pa
troll house on Barton place and awak-
ening Lieut.. Stevens, informed him Of
the danger that menaced the building
and its thousands upon thousands of
dollars worth of valuable goods.
Lieut.. Stevens, with George Woods,
one of the call men, went to the store,
and at that time the automatic sprink-
Ter, with which the building is
equipped, was sending forth streams
of water. An alarm was turned in
from box A. at the corner of Front and
Main streets, and the department was
obliged to spend some time before they
could locate the blaze. The building
was flooded with water, and the inn
mense stock of the Boston Store was
badly damaged.
Night Waterman Ryan first learned
of the existence of the fire by the ring
ing of the bells that are attached to the
automatic system, and upon investigat-
ing found that the flre was on the sixth
floor. 1t was started from a short cir
cult on an electric iron.
When the department arrived Chief
Vaughn ordered the men to go through
the building and it was some time be-
fore the shutoffs of the system could
be located. The entire building was
soaked with water. In the furniture de-
partment on the fifth floor there was a
large amount of water and a stock of
fine parlor furniture was thoroughly
wet down. On the third floor large
stock of carpets was also wet down.
On the second floor in the receiving
room, there was a large stock of goods
and the damage here by water will pro-
badly be large. In the salesroom on
the ground floor stock of books was
soaked and also stock of dress goods.
The water leaked into the basement
where there is stored considerable
crockery and silverware
Irving Swan Brown, manager of the
store, was called, and in an interview
with The Spy man said that he could
not estimate his damage.
Much of the stock in the store was
moved by members of the fire patrol
under the direction of Capt. Hiram r.
Williamson, and by so doing many dol
lars We're saved
The tenants all through the building
will suffer losses by water.

Committee on Police
Will Recommend to
Accept the Act.
THE ORDER WILL LIKELY PASS.
Action on Petition Of VEL
come Mission is
Deferred.

The city council committee on police
met last night, and voted to report at
the next meeting of the city council,
recommending the acceptance of the
act relative to pensioning policemen.
The order providing for the accept
ance of the act relative to pensioning
police officers, as printed in Thursday
mornings Spy, was introduced some
months ago by Councilman j. H.
Meagher The act takes effect upon
it's acceptance by the city council, and
from the sentiment generally expressed,
the recommendation of the committee
will be accepted, although there is
opportunity for considerable debate.
Matters pertaining to the proposition
of the board of directors of the We'll
come Mission to care for INDECENT way
farers, relieving the city of all respon-
sibility in this line for a fixed sum,
were discussed at some length. F. P.

w. Kent, Rev. Spencer B. Meeser, Chief
of Police James NJ. brennan, Rev. Eliot
White, Rev. C. L. Short, Freeman
Brown, w. H. Cook and e. T. Chaplin,
appeared before the committee and
spoke in favor of the proposition as out
lined in the recent petition to the city
council. From what was said last
night, the Welcome Mission directors
are willing to erect a building at their
own expense, and take the entire mat
ter of caring for the homeless off the
hands of the city authorities. No &C
ton was taken, as members of the
committee desire to investigate the
matter thoroughly before reporting.

MRS. MILLER MAY
SEEK SEPARATION,
Although She Still Looks for a Return and
Satisfactory Explanations From Her
Husband---The Slick Syndicate Oper.
ator's Assets All Tied Up.

Brooklyn, Dec. Tt is stated in Mrs
William F. Miller's home that she in
tends to get separation from her hus-
band, who, according to dispatches, has
been located in Montreal, Canada. Mrs
Miller is living at the home of her par
ents, Mr.. and Mrs. Charles Schmidt, 1T6
Floyd street, a short distance from
where Miller had his offices. 1t is as
serted that Mrs. Miller knew nothing
about her husbands affairs; that she
never even went to his place of bust
ness, and that she was greatly shocked
at his sudden disappearance.
Mrs. Schmidt, her mother, says:
Perhaps it would be better if such
a step were taken Still cannot speak
for my daughter. 1 do not know what
she intends to do. We have had con-
siderable trouble now, and my daugh-
ter is in no condition to stand any
more. She is naturally of a sensitive
disposition, and this blow has been a
severe one to her, and to all of us.
Some OF the reporters have treated us
shamefully, even going so far as to in
sinuate that my daughter knew what
her husband was doing. That was not
fair"
HAS your daughter said anything to
you about getting a separation" asked
the reporter.
"She will take no such step, for the
present, at least. 1t is her duty to wait
and see if anything new develops. She
has confidence in her husband and eX
poets that he will turn up soon and
make satisfactory explanations. Until
then no step will be taken one way or
the other"
Mrs. Miller is only 20 years old She
was the pet of the family being the
only girl. She never had to want for
anything She was married little over
a year and half ago, and has one
child Her husbands disappearance
has worked on her mind. Until a few
days ago she was suffering from ner-
vous prostration. She had not left her
mothers home since she went there
the day following her husbands disap
pearance. She has received no letter
from Mr.. Miller and she has not the
slightest idea where he is.

Protest Against Action in Depriving Utah
of Representation-Says. He Has No
Money Except Salary Attaching to
His Position Mormon Church
Not Concerned.

Washington, Dec. bingham H.
Roberts OF Utah, who was not allowed
to be sworn in as a representative in
congress, has issued an address to the
American people. 1t contains much
that was said by Mr. Roberts on the
floor of the House, and by Mr.. Rich
aTdson, who opposed the resolution of
Mr.. Taylor of Ohio. After reviewing
the facts and proceedings, Mr.. Roberts
says in part:
The member from Uutah is not al
lowed to take the oath Of his office
and a committee is appointed to try him
as to his alleged guilt of the offenses
charged. Nay, even more is granted
than was asked on the floor of the
House. For a hostile committee has
Its membership is made up entirely of
those who voted to adopt the method
of procedure. If the creation of such
a tribunal for such a purpose be al
lowed, there is no reason why the COM
mittee should not be made up of MEM
jority may do as it pleases about that.
Il ask the American people to stop
and think what that may mean to TINS
country in times of high political eX-
element and party strife and passion
OLA formidable minority in the
House may be reduced either to very
insignificant minority, or even plotted
out of existence.
"(2)-The representation to which
-. AFa.H Of -
House may be denied to it-as in this
Utah case-for any length of time this
committee may elect to deny it such
representation. Suppose that in this
case the committee shall see proper to
proceed with reasonable expedition to
consider the questions involved, but
what is there to hinder it delaying its
action under one preteXt or another as
long as 1t pleases? 1t can prolong It's
Investigations for two years as well as
a month, or a year, if it so elects and
meantime deny to a district represent
alton.
IF the present House can thus de-
prive Utah of her representation, there
is no reason why it could not deny Vir-
ginia hers, even though she has ten
representatives, for ten representatives
as easily as one, can be turned away
from the bar of the House, and one
state as we'll as another, if bare ma
iority IN the House chooses to have it
so, and If the present republican House
can do this in the case of Utah or Vir-
ginia, there is no reason why the next
democratic House could not proceed in
like manner with representatives from
republican states.

down the constitutional guarantee of a

Up to date, Gottlieb Keller of Hunt

individual amount of any investor in
Mr.. Miller's dividend mill Mr.. Kelle-
lives in a neat cottage on Fort hill,
Huntington. and formerly was liquor
dealer in Manhattan. He is asout 60
years old, and is regarded as clear
headed man. One of Keller's sons-in-
law tried Miller's $40 per cent game,
and won out handily. He had a hard
time convincing Mr.. Keller, but APP
parently won him over at last. Mr.. KEEL
Ter put in $4,000 ten days before Miller
vanished. One $500 dividend was drawn
out, but Mr. Keller. now an enthusiast
tic supporter of the syndicate, imme-
diately reinvested it. Mr. Keller is not
making any fuss about his loss. He has
money left. and besides, he knows 4
lot more about syndieates than he did.

AN EXPERT TESTIFIES.
William J. KinsIey Discusses Peculiarities
Of Prisoners Calligraphy-Attorney
Mcintyre on the Stand-Lively
Tits Between Bench and
Lawyers.

New York, Dec. Assistant District
Attorney John F. Mcintyre was called
as a witness this afternoon in the trial
of Roland B. Molineux for the murder
of Mrs. Katherine ]. Adams.
Apparently all District Attorney Os-
borne wanted Of Mr.. Mcintyre was the
mere identification of the remains of
Mrs Adams. After Mr.. Mcintyre had
testified concerning his visit to me
apartments of Mrs. Rogers and Mrs.
Adams, the witness was turned over to
Mr.. Weeks for cross examination. Mr..
Weeks protested vigorously against be-
ing compelled to ss-eXamine Mr.. Nc
Intyre at this time. The attorney for
the defense said that the appearance
of Mr.. Mcintyre today was unexpected
and that the defense was totally un-
prepared to proceed with an examina-
ton of the witness. Mr.. Osborne said
he would not call Mr.. Mcintyre for any
other purpose than as an aid to estab-
fishing the body of the crime
Recorder Colt finally ruled that the
defense could not go outside the line
pursued by the prosecution in the ex-
animation of Mr.. Mcintyre, unless Mr.
Weeks called the assistant district at
torney as witness for Molineux. 1t was
finally agreed that the oss-examina-
ton Of Mr.. Mcintyre should be post
poned for the day.
William j. Kinsley, the handwriting
expert, was subject to a long and Sc

afternoon. He was finally allowed to
qualify as an expert in handwriting.
