WORST CASE OF BleAmY ON RECORD
A Drummer Who Had Six Living Wives
and Was TO Marry Three More.


London, Dec. 31-Sentence of seven
years penal servitude has been passed
at the central criminal court upon Will
lam Henry Cadman, commercial trav-
eler who, according to his own state
ment, resided for several years in the
United States, and who was convicted
of contracting a bigamous marriage.
Although the prisoner was tried upon
but one indictment, the evidence show
ed that he had married no less than
seven respectable girls in different parts
of the country, that up to the time of
his arrest he had been corresponding
with all of them as each ones husband,
and that not a single one of the seven
had any idea that she had been de-
ceived until Cadman was arraigned in
the police court.
His first marriage took place % years
ago, and by his legal wife he became
the father of nine children in eleven
years. Six bogus marriage certificates
and 1000 letters from women were found
at his lodgings, and from the contents
of the correspondence ii was developed
that he was getting ready to marry
three more women, living in widely sep
arated and remote parts of the country.
Some of the women with whom he con-
tracted bigamOus marriages were we'll
TODD, and from these in the aggregate
he had secured nearly 100000. 1t was
also shown that he was the father of
% children, 10 of whom were illegitimate.
In passing the sentence, the recorder
said that he believed this to be the
worst case of bigamy in the criminal
annals of the country.

TESTIMONY IN YACHT CASE ENDS
None Has Been Made Public, aud the
OntcOme Is pure Speculation

New York, Dec. 3l.-The taking of tes-
timony by the members of the special
committee of the New York Yacht Club
who have been investigating Lord Dun
ravens charges against c. Oliver Iselin,
William X. Vanderbilt and e. d. Morgan
of the Defender syndicate, was concluded
today. None of the testimony has been
made public and it is therefore impossible
to speculate on the probable outcome.
After the adjournment of today's ses-
sion Attorney Choate for the New York
Yacht Club said: THE investigation is
over, so far as the taking of the testi-
mony is concerned"
when will the committee report?" he
was asked.
II cannot say anything as to that" he
replied, 'for I do not know"
Barrister Asquith, Lord Dunraven's
representative, refused to discuss the
hearing before the committee or give his
opinion as to when a decision would be
made public.

Wall Street Dominated hy the Impend-

New York, Dec 31.-The stock market
today was essentially a professional one,
in consequence of closing of the year and
evening up of contracts incidental there

Old straw


Washington, Jan. 7.-Another day was
wasted in idle talk on the financial sit

stand up in their places and thrash over
old straw and quote from ancient speeches
and say, Il told you so.' but not one Of
them has been able to propose a plain
easily understood, method Of relief for
the treasury. 1t appears to be useless to
expect any help from congress, and if
the finances of the government are to
be cared for, relief must come through
executive action.
Both Of the Georgia senators were in
their seats to-day, and when questioned
on the subject they said they were not
