ROBERTS BLIND BELIEF.
HIS REASONS FOR LIVING 4
 POLYGAMOUS LITE.

Regards the Laws of God as Higher
 Than Those of the Land and His
 Moral Obligations Otherwise, as
 Greater Than Both the Laws of God
 and Man-The ''Endowment House.".
 Washington, April 20.-With the re- opening of the investigation in the Reed Shoot case before the senate commit tee on privileges and elections the pros ecution devoted considerable time to drawing from Brigham Roberts the character of the oaths which are said to be necessary for a Mormon to take in order to have support of the church for political offense. Members of the committee showed an equal interest in the obligations which are said to be taken by Mormons who Ego through the endowment house."
 Along both lines much evidence was brought out. It was shown by MT. Roberts testimony that without con- sent of the Mormon church he failed of election to a seat in congress, and later with church recognition of his candida cy he was elected. In relation to the endowment house obligation MT. Rob- erts was extremely reticent. He said that the sacredness of the ceremony was such that he could not reveal it to the world, and that if he did so he would lose caste with the church as having betrayed a trust.
 Portions of the testimony given by Mir. Roberts, especially in regard to his reasons for maintaining polygamous cohabitation with his plural wives, was almost duplication of the testimony given by other polygamists who have been on the stand. He said he regard ed the laws of God as higher than the laws of the land, and that his moral obligation otherwise was greater than both the laws of God and man.

STATE POLICE MAKE RAID
THIRTY MEN AND PROPRIETOR
 J. 4. M,KEE ARRESTED.
Find Men Playing the Races and Poker All Paraphernaiia Seized as Evi- dence = officers Assisted by Four Deputy sherifs-Those Who Were Arrested--Au Released on Bonds.

The state police yesterday raided a. pool room kept by John A. Mckee, the newsdealer at 9S0 Chapel street, lccat- ed at ITS Temple street, on the second floor and in rooms adjoining the Ken wick house. The rooms were fitted up with all facilities for gambling and playing the races. and at the time the raid was made there was thirty men in the place who were playing.
 | At about S::30 o'clock five state police men. Louks. Hurley, Hull. Allhouse and Hazelhurst, and four deputy sher-. Iiffs swooped down upon the place.
 The first intimation that Chief Wrinn had as to what was going on was when he received word at his office and was asked to send the patrol wagon to take | the men to the station house. He com piled with this request and the thirty men. the proprietor, MT. Mckee, and paraphernalia were brought to the sta- tion house.
 The state police, when interviewed last evening. in accordance with their | make any statement concerning the raid. It is stated that the information was furnished the state police through personal feelings on the part of the f local officials.
 Chief Wrinn, when interviewed last Yevening, said that he had no idea that the raid was to be made. He said that I he knew that Mr.Kee had been inter- lested more or less in gambling enter prises and that he had taken the room where the raid was made two weeks ago. The chief sent for him some days lago and notified him that he had had some complaints that gambling was being done in the rooms. Mr. Mckee promised the chief at that time that there would be no more gambling of any kind in the place in the future and said the chies. You see the way he kept his word. I propose to push the lease against him now as hard as possi- ble."
 MT. Mckee is the old New Haven ball player. and he has been conduct ling news and stationary store in this city for many years. He was released
 on bond of $1,500. All the thirty men Iwho were arrested in the rooms were released on bonds of $15O each.
 It is believed that most of those ar lrested gave fictitious names. They are: c. B. Norris, Litheo Robertson, a

TALES DIETING EXPERIMENT.
Paper Read on Subject by Professor
 Chittenden.

Chittenden.
 Washington, April 2O.-The chief paper read before the National Academy of Sciences to-day was a description of series of experiments recently conduct ed by the Sheffield Scientific school of Yale to determine If the average human being is not eating too much. Prof. Russell H. Chittenden, the director of the school, who conducted the eXperi- ments and who read the paper, made the statement that the average healthy man eats from two to three times as much as he needs to keep him in per- feet physical and mental health and vigor.
 He said three classes of men were ex- perimented on, several professors of the school, including himself, several stu dents and a squad of United States sol- diers. There was a gradual reduction of meat and other proteid foods with little if any increase in starch and other foods in nearly all the tests. No fixed regimen was required in any case, the endeavor being to satisfy the appetite of each subject. In only one case was  the meat entirely eliminated from the diet At the end of the experiments. which lasted from six months until nearly a year, and were concluded only a few days ago, the entire lot of men who had been Professor Chittenden's subjects were in the best of health. Their weight in some cases was almost exactly the same as when the experi- ments were begun and in some slightly lower. Their bodily vigor was greater and their strength was much greater, partially owing to the regular physical exercises during the experiments and partially owing, Professor Chittenden believes, to the less amount of food eat en. The daily consumption of food at the close of the experiments was much less than the recognized standard and from & third to half as much as the average man eats.
