ROBERTS CASE.
Committee WIN Present Majority Re
port In a Few Days.
It FAVORS HIS EXCLUSION
on the Ground q Having Contracted
Two Polygamous Marriages and
Living in a State Of POlygamy-A
Minority Report Will Also be Pre-
seutsd.

WASHINGTON, Jan. r7.-The special
committee Of the house Of representa-
tlves to investigate the case Of Brig
ham H. Roberts, Of Utah. to-day reach-
ed a Anal conclusion. on the poiyga-
NOUS status Of Mr.. Roberts the cons
mittee was unanimous and agreed upon
a formal statement of facts. On the
question of procedure to be adopted the
committee was divided. The majority
conslstlng OF all the members except
Littleaeld, of Maine, and De Almond.
Of Missouri, favored exclusion Mt the
outset. Messrs. IittleGeld and De Ar
mond will make minority report fay-
orable to seating Roberts on his prima
facle rights ana then expeiiing him.
The statement Of facts found by the
committee is as follows:
1--WE ind that B. H. Roberts was
elected as a representative to the Fifty
sixth Congress from the state of Utah
and was at the date OF his election
above the age of twenty-five years;
that he had been for more than seven
years a naturalized citizen OF the
United States and was an inhabitant
OF the state Of Utah.
1--WE further find that about 1878 he
married Louisa Smith, his first and
LAWFUL wife, with whom he has ever
since lived with. and who. since their
marriage, has borne him six children.
',That about 1885 he married as his
plural wife Celia DLhble. with whom he
has since lived as such, and who, since
such marriage, has borne him six chill
dren, Of whom the last were twins born
August II, 1887.
THAT some years after his said mar
TiaEe to Celia Dlbble he contracted an
other plural marriage with Margaret G.
Ship, with whom he has ever since
lived in the habit and repute OF mar
rlage. Your committee Is unable to fix
the exact date OF this marriage. It
does not appear that he held her out az
his wife before January, 1887, or that
before that date she held him out as her
husband, or that before that date they
were reputed to be husband and wife.
THAT these facts were generally
known In Utah, publicly charged
against him during his campaign for
election and were not denied by him.
.,That the testimony bearing on these
facts WINS taken In the presence of Mr..
Roberts and that he fully cross-exam.
ined the witnesses, but declined to place
himself on the witness stand"
The eliminating session Of the com.
mlttee to-day followed many prolonged
executive sessions which left no doubt
a. TO the attitude of the several mem.
hers with the exception OF Mr.. Meirs,

rect issue. Accordingly, when the com.
mtttee met Mr.. Mcpherson. OF Iowa,
offered n resolution for the exclusion Of
Roberts
Mr.. De Almond Immediately pro-
posed a substitute. recognizing the con.
stitnIonal rights of Roberts to take his

Defends The Tariff.

Milwaukee. Wis, March Henry G.
Payne, emb of the republican nation
al committee-fro Wisconsin. said today
in regard to his views on the subject OF
a tariff for Porto Rico: Looking TO the
future welfare of the republic consider
1t would be a calamity to have the status
OF Porto Rico, Cuba or the Philippine
islands much usch as would give them
later on rights which would entitle them
1.-The question should have the most
careful, thoughtful and statemanlike
consideration. The bill pending gives
time for ample study of the question. LIST
us not make haste to settle irrevocably
q question which may be OF most vital
Importance to our people in the future.
There is no class of people 50 much
interested as the working classes. If
free rad is established with the islands
they will at once become competitors
with almost the cheapest labor known
in the world. Is that condition desir-
able? Do our working people desire full
and unlimited competition with the
masses of Porto Rico, Cuba and the Phil
ippines? Calm dispassionate discussion
Of the question is now in order; a mis-
take may cost us dear later.
The provisions of the bill are opera.
tive but for two years, and in that time
we may realize better the problems be,
fore us. The people who are to pay this
slight tax. could, for the benefit of the
masses Of Porto Rico, afford to pay a
small increase in the price of sugar and
tobacco.
In what more easy or equitable nan
ner can relief be given to the people Of
Porto RicO?"
