Schroe- der had continued his argument. when Mr. Rawlins interrupted to correct detail as to certain statements given before con- gressional committee relative ito polygamy
 Chairman Taylor thereupon asked MT Rawlins, who was once a delegate from Utah, if 1t was not understood at the time the state was admitted that polygamy was at an end.
 ''M was my understanding" said MT. Rawlins, 'that the solemnization of polygamous marriages was interdicted by the Mormon church, and that this would have satisfactory effect in terminating the practice. But I did not hold out to congress that family relations already es- tahlished would be broken up.'

 There was some question as to whether MT. Rawlins should answer the question. He finally proceeded, saying that for years polygamy had prevailed in Utah. Under 1t many people had established strong con- jugal relations and ties. But the proclama- tion of the Mormon church forbidding fur ther polygamous marriages had given gen. eral satisfaction and it was commonly ac- cepted that the practice would come to an end.
 Mir. Schroeder concluded his argument, which related mainly to the historical as pect of polygamy and the law in the case.
 Mrs. J. Ellen Foster addressed the com mittee in behalf of the great number of wo- men interested in the case and who were not represented before the committee. She spoke vigorously, dealing with the Roberts case and the general moral interests it in- voved.
