MRS. ROBERTS DISMISSAL.
Ii Again Causes Debate in the
Senate.

The resolution offered in the Senate
yesterday by Mr. Allen, relating to the
dismissal of Mrs. Roberts. as clerk in
the Pension Office, was taken up again
today and Mr., Allen made a further
statement as to her respectable con-
nections and antecedents. He spoke of
her treatment by the Commissioner OF
Pensions as brutal" and said that he
did not care very much how soon the
Republican party would injure itself
SO as to bring about its destruction.
The sooner IL went out of power the
better off the country would be and
he was willing TO hasten its exit under
any circumstances.
He supposed the Senator from New
Hampshire. (Mr. Gallinger). when he
suggested yesterday that the time of
the Senate should not be taken up with
such matters. regarding a Government
clerk no better than a dog.
Mr.. Gallinger denied the insinuatiOn
that he had been unmindfuI of the
rights Of clerks or had been uncharita-
BILE in this particular case.
Il knew nothing of Mrs. Roberts yes
terday," said MIR. Gallinger. but l
think | know a little something about
her today, and l want to say to the
Senate that this is not the forum in
which to try this question.
Il have made a motion TO send the
case to committee; that committee,
in the privacy of their room can call
for these papers and can summon
Mrs. Roberts, if they so desire, and
can try the case and the conclusions
reached can be reported TO the Sen
ate.
Mrs. Roberts, as / said yesterday, is
a ready letter writer. or she has an
amanuensis who is accomplished in
that direction"
Mr.. Gallinger expressed his regret
that the Senator from Nebraska did
not see the propriety of allowing the
resolution, without further contrOver-
sy, to go to the committee. and he
trusted the Senate would see it in his
light even if Mr.. Allen did not
He maintained that for the good Of
the public this order should prevail.
Mr.. Allen said that all he contended
for was that this woman should be in
formed of the charge against her. and
should have fair and full opportunity
to meet and refute it. He was willing.
with the assurance that the opportun-
ity would be given her by the Com

Fads of College Girls in Scotland.
Since the college doors were opened to
women in thrifty Scotia nd the students
have shown a pardOnable patriotism in
many curious ways. The oldfashioned
cairngorn, which was practically nothing
but a variety of fine rock crystal, has
come into great favor, and is used for the
decora tion of buttons, brooches. clasps,
buckles, hat ornaments, and even hairpins.
Embroidered filibegs are employed for
portemonnaies, and make a very pretty
effect upon an ordinary dress. The for
NAL college cap has met new rivals in
the Flora Macdonald bonnet. the Glen
garry, the Tam O'Shanter, the Cock of
the Walk, the Bobby Burns and t he
Highland Chieftain. In wearing appar-
ell there has been a revival of Scotch
frieZes, Caledonian sha wis and of his
torical plaids and tartans. Some of the
college clubs and societies have adopted
as uniform styles made famous by the
great women OF Scotch history. Com
monest of all, however, is the use of
tartans for street and college wear.

THE TRIAL Of A MINISTER
Rev. Gilbert F. Williams Before
an Ecclesiastical Court Here.
ACCUSED BY MISS DENHAM
The Former Rector of Christ
Church Charged by the Young
Girl With Being the Father Of Her
ChiId-The Clergyman Positively
Denies the Assertion.

An ecclesiastical court is in
session at St Marks Pro-Cathedral
Church for the trial of Rev. Gilbert F.
Williams. late rector of Christ Church,
Navy Yard. Rev. Mr.. Williams is
charged with violating his ordination
VOWS and with gross immortality. Miss
Nettie Denham, formerly a prominent
member of the church. is the chief COM
planning witness. The court is COM
posed as follows: Rev. A. r. Stuart
president of the court, Christ Church,
Georgetown; Rev. c. f. Buck; Rev.
Charles F. Sontag, Upper Marlboro,
Md: Rev James z. PoindeXter, Charles
county, Md; Rev. Charles H. S. Mayo,
Hyattsville, Md: Rev. Thomas S
Childs, archdeacon of the diocese.
The church advocate is Rev. L. A.
Wilmer. of Port Tobacco, Md, and the
counsel for the accused are William A.
Meloy and J. Holdsworth Gordon.
Rev. Mr.. Williams is a man of family.
While rector of Christ Church his
health became so impaired that he was
granted leave and he went to South
Carolina. Soon after his departure
Miss Denham made sensational charges
against him.
The first witness called today was
the accused. He denied that he had
ever sustained relations with Miss
Nettie Denham, that he had ever Of
Tended her or that he was the father
of her child.
When Miss Denham was called to
the stand she testified emphatically
that DR.. Williams was the father of
her child. She told a sensational and
pathetic story. She said that Mr..
Williams first assaulted her in the
study of Christ Church. 1t was during
Holy Week in April 1896 At the close
of the service and after she had
thrown the cloths over the altar and
the sacred books she passed through
the pastors study. There he accom-
plished her ruin. He had relations
with her at other times. Her child, a
boy, was born on Sunday, January "a
1897. and on February 26, she confess
ed to her father the author of her hu-
initiation.
A large number of witnesses are to
be examined and it is said that testi-
mony discriminating Rev. Mr.. Williams
and other young ladies will be intro
duced. The case is being heard behind
closed doors.
Mr.. Denham, father of the young la
dy, told a reporter for The Times to-
day, that Mr.. Williams had never ask
ed for a trial of the charges against
him and had postponed the proceedings
against him as long as possible When
his daughter made known to him that
Mr.. Williams was the cause of her
trouble he wrote him a dignified let
ter asking what he proposed to do
about ii. Then he laid the case before
Bishop Satterlee. who said: "On' one
side there is confession and on the
other there is a denial
Mr.. Denham said that when the vest
ry of the church proposed to Rev. Mr..
Williams that he meet his accuser, he
refused to do it. saying that he would
resign first He did resign. Mr.. Den
