In Favor of Refusing a Seat to the Utah Congressman MinoriVy Favors Expulsion. WASHINGTON. Jan. 20 Reports of the special committee of investiga tion in the case of Roberts of Utah. were presented to the house today. The majority report; signed by Chairman laylor and six of his associates, is a voluminous document, and is accom panied by a summary of the law and facts bearing on the case. It gives de tails of the hearing, the ample-oppor tunities attorued Kooerts to present his case, his refusal to testify and the unanimous finding of facts heretofore published. The majority report finds three distinct grounds of disqualification against Roberts: First By reason of his violation of the h-dmunds law. Second Bv .reason of his violation of the law of the land, of .decisions of the supreme court and of "the orocla- mations of presidents, holding himself above the, law and not amenable to it.
