THE INVESTIGATING COMMITTEE
MEETS.
WASHINGTON, Dec 1.-THE special
committee of the House appointed to in
vestigate the charges against Mr.. Rob
erts, the Mormon Representative from
Utah, held it's first meeting to-day be-
hind closed doors. The meeting was
called for the purpose of determining
the method of procedure in the case.
1t was presided over by the Chairman,
Mr.. Tayler of Ohio. All the other mem
bers of the committee were present
Messrs Morris of Minnesota, Freer OF
West Virginia, Littlefield of Maine,
Mcpherson Of Iowa and Lands OF In
diana, Republicans; and De Almond OF
Missouri, Lanham of Texas and Mlers
of Indiana, Democrats.
Little progress was made at the meet
ing to-day, and an adjournment was
taken until tomorrow at III O'Clock. IL
has not vet been decided whether Mr.
Roberts is to be allowed counsel, or
whether the hearings will be open or
private The determination OF the iat-
ter question, it is believed. will depend
upon Mr.. Roberts wishes. Mr.. ROD
erts also will doubtless be allowed
counsel.
The question as to whether the COM
mittee will go to Utah to take tesu-
mony was raised, but it was not de-
cided at the meeting to-day. Almost
all the time was occupied in a general
exchange of ideas as to methods Of
procedure

The Christmas Tree.

It is said that Christmas trees were
used to place gifts upon as early as
1852 France adopted the Christmas
tree about 1910, and Prince Albert in
troduced it into England the first
Christmas after his marriage The
Queen still keeps up this custom, hav-
ing a tree for her own gifts, one for her
children and grandchildren, and one for
the household Since then the custom
has become worldwide. The Tree of
Candles is of more ancient date. There
is~an old French romance of The thr-
teenth century in which the hero sees
tree whose branches from top TO BOT
tom are covered with burning candles,
while on the top is figure of child
shining with still greater radiance.
This tree symbolzed humanity the
upper tights being the souls of the
good those below of the wicked. while
the child represented Christ. The poetic
idea of the Christmas tree as d SYM oil
of the renewed life Of nature which be-
gins with the frightening of the days
comes rem Germany. FeoIn the Morse
mythology comes tile Suggestion OF the
Christmas tree as typical of the new
born sun in that it was bedecked with
lights, and was an emblem Of spring Oh
account of it's rich green. Probably the
Morse mythology was the origin of the
tree of candles more than of the
present Christmas tree. On the intro
duction of Christianity the Christmas
tree, although not known then by that
name, became the type of Christ.
The following quotation from L. P.
Lewis gives these emblems Of the
Christmas tree:
1.-The tree itself, stately and tall, was
symbolical of His majesty and grand
ure; the green, of His goodness and
Immortality; the lights, of His glory
and of the Star in the East, and the
angel on top (Which was then never
omitted), of the angels who gave to the
shepherds the words still spoken each
