card signed by Thomas j. Brandon dis
claiming having given out certain in
formation relative to Roberts; also
court records, in which Roy Brandon
was a party.
Mr.. Roberts also offered a telegram
from the proprietors of the Salt Lake
Herald concerning the testimony Of Mr.
Mcdaniel. Tayler excluded the tele-
gram, however, saying there was no
color OF right or proprlety in reeelv-
ing telegram as testimony in View Of
Mr.. Roberts refusal to admit the state
ment Of the absent Utah witnesses.
Mir. Schroeder.head Of the Gentle dele
CATION here to oppose Roberts, then
opened the argument against Roberts.
The argument was largely technical
and was divided under three general
heads, viz: First, whether or not the
member-elect has the constitutional
qualifications, including citizenship:
second, whether or not the constitu-
tional provision as to citizenship In
cludes one who has impaired his clti-
zenshlp by crime or unlawful status,
and whether Mr. Roberts has so i'm
paired his citizenship; third, whether
member-elect has the statutory quail
iications and whether the House has
the power to establish qualifications
beyond those In the Constitution.
Mr.. Schroeder read from many law
books concerning these propositions.
THE evidence clearly shows" pro-
ceeded Mr., Schroeder. that since 1850,
Mr. Roberts has been In the status of
a polygamist, and the question is as to
the effect Of this status.
He said that while Utah was a Ter
ritory there was no doubt as TO Rob-
erts' disiranchisement under the Ed
munds-Tucker act. And when Utah
was admitted TO Statehood, Mr..
Schroeder contended, that Mr. Rob-
erts's citizenship was still impaired.
The status OF polygamy was such that
Roberts could not relieve himself from

the right Of the House TO exclude, Mr..
Schroeder said

and ask admission on proper creden-
tials, could lot the House in self-protee.
ton deny him admission? Suppose a
man afflicted with leprosy presented
himself would not the House have pow
er to keep him out?"
Mr. Schroeder said Roberts had adj
mitted his relationship with his plural
wives. He had publicly said he would
"be - II he would give up his
wives" This was an offense against
the public morals as against the law.
and Mr.. Roberts should be excluded
from seat.
AT this point recess was taken un-
Ill o'clock.

parts Of the State for smallpox, DR.. T..
b. Beatty, secretary OF the Utah board
OF health arrived last evening with the
purpose In mind OF making an exam
ination into several cases OF sickness
supposed TO have been chlckenpoX. II
is very certain that there have been
several severe cases OF chickenpox In
the camp, though none OF those afiiict-
ed have died nor have they been den-
gerously ILL., In most cases the patients
have been confined 10 their homes only
for few days, others for period
Of as long as two weeks, These cases
of sickness have caused a good deal Of
comment among the people though
they reused no apprehension or alarm
as all Of the local physicians agreed
that they were nothing worse than
ehckenpox. But a different aspect OF
affairs was brought about when Dr.
Beatty arrived here last night with
DR.. G, j. Field Of this city. He made
an examination OF the cases and two
Of them he pronounced to be smallpox
without question Of doubt. One Of the
persons afflicted Is George Proctor and
the other Ned Hickman. Both were

Washington, Jan. 4.-The Roberts
+. committee resumed Its sitting this
morning. II was expected that ex-Sec-
rotary Carlisle would be over from
New York for the purpose OF question
ing the eligibility Of Roberts's naturali-
zaton papers. Mr.. Carlisle, however,
was detained by illness, and Attorney
A. T. Schroeder presented the commit
tee the case in general against Roberts.
which has all been published.
Senator Rawlins then followed and
took exception 10 several statements
made by Schroeder. Among the state
ments made by Schroeder was that the
"Mormons" had not kept their prom
Use to stop practicing polygamy, and
that they violated their compact with
the United States. He referred 10 the
investigating committee sent by Con-
gress just previous to admission OF
Utah as a State and claimed this was
sufficient proof Of the matter. Senator
RawlIns denied that the Church had not
kept faith with the agreement made at
that time. and claimed that the proof
offered by Schroeder was far from the
facts.
II Is probable that the report Of the
committee will not be presented to the
House before the middle of the month.
Washington, Jan. 4.-The Roberts In
vestigating committee resumed Its ses-
sions today for the purpose OF hearing
arguments and bringing the inquiry to
an early conclusion.
1t was expected ex-Secretary John G.
Carlisle would be present to sum up the
case against Roberts and that Mr. Rob-
erts personally would make the argu-
ment in his own behalf.
Word came from Mr. Carlisle, how
ever, that he had not understood his
personal presence was desired, but he
was ready to submit written arguments
on any OF the questions involved.
Chairman Tayler (O) stated that the
statement Of witness absent In Utah
had been received but as Mr.. Roberts
declined to admit It in an informal
manner the matter would have to be
taken UP later,
Mr., Roberts said he wished to present
matter tending to show the untrust-
worthlness Of witnesses appearing
against him. In included a published

request was compiled with. and Mr..
Levy offered an amendment TO the
resolution, which Included a request for
The secretary's reasons for delaying the
deposits In national banks until the
panic had occurred.
Mr.. Levy said he warned the secre-
tary of the treasury In September that
the panic was imminent. Had the
secretary needed that warning and de-
posted government funds In national
banks in September and October in
stead OF buying bonds. the panic would
have been averted The amendment
was promptly ruled out Of order and
the resolution, as offered by Mr.. Payne,
was adopted.
The House then at 1920 p. m. ad-
