PLANS FOR THE CENSUS.
Prof. w. F. Wilcox Explains the CUES
tions That Will Be Asked

Prof, W. f. Wilcox of Cornell, the chief
statistician of the census, says:
The schedule of population is in much
the form used in 1850, and the questions
asked are substantially identical wi. h
those of the last two censuscs. The TO-
lowing questions, however asked in $50,
have been omitted:
"Q) Whether a soldier sal OF or marine
during the civil war Omitted States or
Confederate). or widow of such person.
"C) Whether suffering from acute or
chronic disease, with name of disease and
length of time afflicted.
"3D Whether defective in mind. sight,
hearing or speech, on whether cripp. ed.
manned, or deformed, with name of de-
feet.
"H) Whether a prisoner, convict, home
less child, or pauper.
The most serious danger to the accu-
racy of the American census is found in
our large cities, where many pea sons axe
away and many houses are closed by the
month of June, in which The ce,lsus is re-
CURED by law to be taken. 1t is in such
places that the complaints whether just

at Washington they will be tabulated by
the electrical system employed in the last

ing every person in the United States are
recorded on a card. After the facts have

ROBERTS CLOSES HIS CASE.
Thinks His Plural Wives Stand as Well
in Society as Gentle Women

Washington, u. c.. Jan. when the
Roberts committee resumed yesterday Mr.
Roberts went on with his argument be-
gun Friday. He reviewed the action of
the constitutional convention of Utah,
urging that this carried out the require
ments of Congress for the admission of
Utah as a state. namely, that polyeamouS
marriages should no longer be contracted.
In particular, he contended, there was no
requirement by Congress or in the con-
stitutional convention that previously
contracted matrimonial associations
should be interrupted.
In the course of his argument. Mr..
Roberts said he had observed that the
ladies' involved In this question of plural
wives were quite generally received in the
circles of GENTLE ladies' of Utah. He
vehemently denounced what he character
lied as the sensational crusade made
against him. and also the effort to arouse
public feeling by saying the American
home was in danger
IF necessary" he exclaimed. II could
call attention to ten thousand evils which
threaten the country without going to
the state Of Utah"
In closing he said that the patriotism
of the Mormon church toward the country
could not be questioned. When a fund
was raised for the survivors of the bat
tlGshp Maine the Mormon church had
contributed one-fifth of the entire amount.
When the countrys authority In the Phil
ippines was questioned. Utah guns, hand
led by Utah men had been in the fore
front of the fray
Mr.. Schroeder, the Gentle representa- tive
stated that no further point would he
made on Roberts naturalization papers,
as it was desired to EXCLUDE him from
Congress specifically and solely on the
ground of his being a polygamist -.
After the arguments closed. members
ance to a question asked by Chairman
Tayler of Mr.. Roberts. relative to the lat
ter's being amenable, while in the Dis
trict Of Columbia, to the Edmunds act.
II is understood that special attention may
be given by the committee to this fea-
ture.
At 1880 the arguments on both sides
were closed and the committee went in
to executive session, during which it was
decided to close the hearings and the tes-
tmony unless eX-Sec. Carlisle desired
to be heard further The committee then
adjourned until 10 a. m next Wednesday
There was no vote or other action nm the
final disposition of the case.
