THE ROBERTS CASE.


Washington, January 6.--When the Rob-
erts committee resumed its session today
Mr.. Roberts went on with his argument
began yesterday. He reviewed the action
OF the constitutional convention of Utah
urging that this carried out the require
ment of congress for the admission OF
Utah as a State. namely that polygamous
marriages should no longer be contract d.
In particular Mr.. Roberts contended there
was no requirement by congress or in the
constitutional convention which previously
contracted matrimonial associations
should be Interrupted.
In the course OF his argument Mr.. Rob
erts said he had observed that the ladies'
involved In this question OF plural wives
were quite generally received In the cir
cles OF Gentle ladies in Utah. He yehe-
mently denounced what he characterized
as the sensational crusade made agains
him and also the effort to arouse public
feeling by saying the American home
was in danger"
III necessary he exclaimed, II could
call attention to ten thousand evils which
threaten the country. without going to
the State OF Utah.
In closing MIR. Roberts said that pa.
triotism OF the Mormon character toward
toward the country could not be queg-
toned. when a fund was raised for the
survivors of he Maine the Mormon church
had contributed one-hfth OF the entire
amount. When the country's authority
in the Philippines was questioned Utah

In the forefront OF tho fray"
MIR. Schroeder stated that no further
point would be made on Mr.. Roberts
naturalization papers as n was desired
TO exclude him from congress specifically
aud solely on the ground of his being
polygsnist
Az 1880 The arguments on both sides
were closed and the committee went into
executive session.
At the executive session Il was decided
10 close the hearings and the testimony
unless ex Secretary Carlisle desired 10 be
heard further.
The committee then adjourned until
Wednesday.
