•‘CONSPIRACY”
SAYS LANDIS
Worked In the Admission of Utah
To Statehood.
SEVERE ROAST FOR ROBERTS.
riormonism Denounced In Sever
est Terms on the Floor
. of the House.
A Washington special says: The
house resumed the debate on the Rob
erts caso at 11 o’clock Wednesday.
The galleries were again well filled,
most of the occupants, as on Tuesday,
being ladies. Some minor business
preceded the resumption of the debate.
Mv. Landis, of Indiana, then deliv
ered a sensational speech. He
contended that Mr. Roberts was
not entitled to admission be
cause he had violated Utah’s com
pact with the United States. Mr.
Landis resented as unworthy of belief
the charge made, he said, by Senator
Rawlins that the president had ap
pointed notorious polygamists. The
senator might as well accuse the
house of endorsing polygamy since it
liqd passed a bill appropriating $40,-
000 for the agricultural college at Lo
gan, Utah. “The president of that
college,” said he, “is a polygamist,
living in open and notorious polygamy
with three wives. One of his leading
professors is a polygamist, living with
two wives. The trustee is a polyga
mist, living in open and notorious
polygamy with seven wives (laughter)
and they have been blessed with thirty
nine children. (Laughter.)
He further asserted that three of
the members of the first presidency
and ten of the twelve apostles who
signed the petition for amnesty were
polygamists.
“Of these fifteen leaders who
solemnly pledged their nonor and
faith to the future obedience to the
law of the church of Christ and Latter
Day Saits, three have probably kept
their pledges, namely, Wilford Wood
ruff, Franklin D. Rodgers and An
thony H. Lunn.
After detailing the polygamous rela
tions of other Mormon leaders, he
continued:
“Pages might be written of the vio
lation of the compact by which Utah
was given a star. Mr. Speaker, that
star is a fallen star; it does not shine
with the brilliancy and luster of her
sister stars. It shines by cunning
and by deceit, by treachery, by fraud.
It speaks of crime and of violation of
the most solmn covenant ever made
between territory and the Union.”
(Applause.)
“We have as a representative from
Utah a man with three wives, the last
one taken, the report says, as near as
we can ascertain, before 1890, I be
lieve. And he did not deny that that
woman became his plural wife after
Utah was taken into the American
Union. And I here charge that Utah
came in as the result of a deliberate
conspiracy to free that people from
the federal authority, and thus enable
them to-live their religion unhindered.
“In 1896 Mr. Roberts was a candi
date for congress, and the church dis
ciplined and defeated him because the
time was not then ripe for a polyga
mist to come to the American congress.
He became a candidate in 1898, and
the man who placed him before the
convention stated that he ran by per
mission of the church. In 1898 we
were engaged in a war with a foreign
foe. American manhood was away
from home and all absorbed in coun
try.
“Valor was at war and virtue was at
prayer. The north and the south un
der one flag! They hoped in this gen
eral condition of magnanimity to come
back, and it was then this perjured
cheat attempted to crawl in. Sir, it
came by itself, but it will be hurled
back boldly and in the open day by
the outraged indignation of the Amer
ican people. (Applause.) And across
yon threshold will be written in let
ters large enough to be read from the
national capitol to the Mormon tem
ple: ‘No polygamist shall ever sit as a
member of the American congress.’”
(Applause.)
REMOVAL OF DISABILITIES
Of Certain Confederates Is Recommended
By Pension Committee.
The house committee t>n pensions
has ordered a favorable report on the
bill making service in the Spanish-
American war suflicient to remove dis
abilities against those who aided or
abetted the southern troops during
the wur of the rebellion, in the mat
ter of drawing pensions. At present
the inhibition applies to widows, chil
dren heirs and others related to those
serving or assisting the Confederacy
and the removal of this inhibition is
more particularly desigued to apply to
the parents serving in the war with
Spain.
FUNDS ARE WANTED
For Improvement of Coosa River
From Gadsden to Wetumpka.
TWO STATES ARE WORKING FOR IT
Will I?ri Mean* of Opening: Traffic On the
River —Atlanta’s Military
Park Rill.
Congressman Burnett, of the Sev
enth Alabama district, will ask for an
appropriation from this congress of
$50,000 for the improvement of Coosa
river from Gadsden to Wetumpka, Ala.
The Coosa river is formed by the Eto
wah and Oostananla at Home, Ga.,
and is now naivgable from Rome to
the locks, thirty miles below Gadsden.
The river continues to Wetumpka
twenty miles from Gadsden, and
forms part of the Alabama.
There is great interest in North
Georgia and Alabama in this proposi
tion. Congressman Maddox is inter
ested in it and attended a conven
tion during the summer at Gadsden
when an “appropiation” was urged.
Mr. Burnett has been offered a hear
ing by the river and harbor committee
in February, and has asked that dele
gations from Rome, Gadsden, Wetump
ka and Montgomery be present to urge
the matter. On this committee are
Bankhead, of Alabama; Lester, of
Georgia, and Sparkman, of Florida,
and Catchiugs, of Mississippi, and
with this southern strength it is be
lieved the matter will be favorably re
ported.
Senator ITawley, chairman of the
committee on military affairs, inform
ed Senator Clay, of Georgia, Wednes
day that the senate committee would
not wait for a joint hearing on the
Atlanta military park bill and that the
committee would consider the bill
January 31st.
Representative Elliott has intro
duced a bill to establish a branch
home of the National Home for Dis
abled Volunteer Soldiers at Castle
Pinckney, in Charleston harbor, South
Carolina, or some other eligible site
in or near that city for the use of dis
abled officers and enlisted men of the
volunteer army and navy of the United
States.
MAHAN’S LETTER.
Famous and Widely Discussed
Document of Our Naval Ex
pert Is Made Public.
A New York dispatch says: Follow
ing is the now famous letter of Cap
tain A. T. Mahan, the naval expert,
which has caused wide discussion in
Great Britain. Captain Mahan an
nounces that his sympathies are with
England, but begs the public to re
frain from public meetings at which
resolutions of sympathy for one side
or the other are offered:
“May I suggest to our citizens gen
erally, and to the Boer sympathizers
especially, the inadvisability of pub
lic meetings on this question. There
are very many among us, myself cer
taiuly one, who feel as strongly in fa
vor of Great Britain as others do of
her opponents.
“Let us all be careful uot to pro
voke oue another by immoderate ex
pressions of opinion, to which public
meetings tend. Those of oue side
provoke retaliation on the other side
—they make it necessary—for in the
problems of the near future good un
derstanding with Great Britain is too
important for us to permit the impres
sion that we are all against her here,
and we may find ourselves in the un
seemly state of party divisions for and
against foreign states, as in the be
ginning of this century between the
French and British parties.
“I avail myself of this opportunity
to say that, in my judgment, not only
is the cause of Great Britain just, but
to have failed to uphold it would have
been to fail in national honor.”

Ponce Credited With 50,000.
The official census of Puerto Rico
has been finished. Ban Juan has 32,-
500 inhabitants.
Ponco has nearly twice as many

There are 057,000 inhabitants on the
island.
BRYAN WAS CAUSTIC.
Says Trusts Constitute the Hen That Lays
the Golden Egc.
William Jennings Bryan made a
journey into Connecticut Wednesday,
addressing meetings at Stamford and
New Haven, and then hurried back to
New York, that he might keep his en
gagement to address the public meet
ing in Jersey City Wednesday night.
In his New Haven speech ho said:
“The Republican party is afraid to
kill trusts because they constitute the
hen that lays the golden egg in cam
paign times, but trusts are bad, intol
erable and indefensible. Bad things
need not be tolerated in America.”
NO CHANCE
FOR ROBERTS
Committee Denies Utah Man’s
Right to a Seat.
THE DECISION VERY EMPHATIC
Two Members Favor Seating Him
and Then Having Him
Expelled.
A Washington dispatch says: The
committee of the house of representa
tives to investigate the case of Brig
horn H. Roberts, of Utah, reached a
a final conclusion at Wednesday’s ses
sion. On the polygamous status of
Mr. Roberts the committee was unani
mous and agreed upon a formal state
ment of facts. On the question of
procedure to be adopted the commit
tee was divided.
The majority, consisting of all the
members except Littlefield of Maine,
and DeArmoud, of Missouri, favored
the exclusion at the outset. Messrs.
Littlefield, Republican, and DeAr
mond, Democrat, will make a minority
report favorable to seating Roberts on
his prima facie rights and then expell
ing him. The majority were Taylor,
Frear, Morris and McPherson, Repub
licans; Lauhnm and Miers, Demo
crats. The statement of facts found
by the committee is as follows:
“We find that B. H. Roberts was
elected a representative to the fifty
sixth congress from the state of Utah
and was at" the date of his election
above the age of tweuty-fivo years;
that he has been for more than seven
years a naturalized citizen of the
United States and was an inhabitant
of the state of Utah.
“We further find that about 1878 he
married Louisa Smith, his first aud
lawful wife, with whom he has ever
since lived as such aud who, since
their marriage, has borne him six
children.
“That since 1885 he married as his
plural wife Celia Dibble, with whom
he has ever since lived as such who,
since such marriage, has borne him
six children, of whom the last were
twins, born August 11, 1897.
“That some years after his said
marriage to Celia Dibble he contracted
another plural marriage with MargarGt
C. SaippcAvith whom he has ever since
lived in the habit and repute of mar
riage. Your committee is unable to fix
the exact date of this marriage. It 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 Ler
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 uot denied by him.
“That the testimony bearing on
these facts was taken iu the presence
of Mr. Roberts and that he fully cross
examined the witnesses, but declined
to place himself on the witness stand.”
