the death Of the Rhodes baby that he
was its father Lawyer GOodhart OBJ
jected. After much wrangling between
counsel Judge Bishop said that, as he
had ruled out reference to another case
ais to whether the defendant had not
been dismissed from Unity church, Chi
cago under charges of immoral con-
duct, he felt that this testimony as to
the fathership Of the Rhodes baby
ought to be ruled out, as it would &C.
cupy much time, very needlessly. After

both sides and Judge Bishop, Mr. Bull
lock wass allowed to testify that Flora
Rhodes was once domestic in his
household, but that he never had any
immoral relations with her. ~

The San Francisco call., 1904-08-06
National Legislators Express Qualification at Profitable
Result Of Their Work Here

The Merchant Marine Commission of
Congress has completed its labors in
San Francisco. Shortly after o'clock
last evening Senator Gallinger and
Representatives Minor, Spight and
Humphrey, who compose the commits
sion, announced that, from the stand
point of the Pacific Coast, the question
at issue-the expansion of the American
merchant marine - had been exhaust
lively discussed, and that the members
of the commission would not meet
again as a body until they return to
the national capital.
Facts developed during the session Of
the commission here demonstrate that
a palsy is upon the American merchant
marine that demands drastic remedies.
A mass of testimony was presented by
the many men that appeared before the
commission during it's sessions in the
rooms of the Chamber of Commerce,
and the advice given covered a wide
range of thought. Among the most
prominent of the local shipping and
commercial men that appeared, the
opinion is shared that subsidy in some
form or another would be the tonic to
revitalize the dying merchant marine
of the United States.
