Against the POlygamist.

Majority OF Committee Favor EHcIu-
sIon---MInoriIy Wish TO Seat Roberts
and Then EIpel Him.
The special committee of the House of
Representatives TO investigate the case of
Brigham II. Roberts of Utah reached a
final decision Wednesday. Ga the polyga-
nous status of Mr.. Roberts the committee
was unanimous, and agreed upon formal
statement of fac;s. On the question Of
procedure to be adopted the committee was
divided. The majority, consisting of all
the members except Littleheld OF Maine
and De Almond of Missouri, favored ex
clusion at the outset. Messrs. Little6eld
and De Almond will make minority re-
port favorable to seating Roberts on his
prma facie rights and then eXpelling him.
The report shows that Roberts was first
married in 1878 TO Louisa Smith, with
whom he has lived ever since, and who has
borne him six children. About 1885 he
married as his plural wife Celia Dibble,
with whom he has lived since, and who
has borne him six children, the last of
whom were twins born Aug. IL, 1897.
Some years after the marriage TO Celia Dib-
BILE he contracted another plural marriage
with Margaret C. Ship, with whom he
has lived ever since. The report says 1t
does not appear that he held her out as
his wife before January, 1897, or that be-
fore that date she held him out as her hus-
band, or that before that date they were
reputed to be husband and wife.
