MRS. STEINHARDT TO
TELL IN DODGE CASE

tangle? That is the one question that
Torries the district attorney, although
il is said he has the assurance of some
Of Morse's closest friends that ne will
not attempt to hold back anything when
he appears before the grand jury. When
he was called before that BODY some
months ago he declined TO answer some
OF the essential questions put to him by
Mr.. Jerome.
Will Question Him
One of the chief questions that will De
put TO HORSE viii concern the keeping
of Dodge in. Texas and out Of the ju-is-
dicton OF. the New York courts for ga
many months, and at such great expense
to some person who apparently had a
strong motive. This person appeared TO
have an unlimited supply of cash to
spend on Dodge. Dodge, lived in the
Southwest in luxury. surrounded by de-
tectives to detect the district attorneys
detectives and was IN the hands OF com
petent lawyers.
Dodge spent money with lavish hand
and in burst of confidence on one oc-
casion announced that there was plenty
more TO be had whenever he needed II.
Mr. Jerome is convinced that the mo-
ment he can pin the man who paid for
Dodge'S exile to Texas he Will be getting
close TO the bottom Of the alleged con-
sFiracy.
The district attorney, it is said. has
come into possession of certain checks
and other papers about which Morse
VIII be closely questioned They may
throw light on the period of Dodge's
ruSuc2tlon in Texas. The banker will
DC asked if he knows the mysterious
source Of the apparently Hmitless sup
ply Of cash that went in that direction.
Hold Their Tongue
None of those connected with the Of
fee CT the district attorney could be
induced to discuss the strange tangle.
and the lawyers in the case were equally
uncommunicative-
OF one thing the district attorney is
convinced. and that is that Mrs w H
Gelshenen Will not put herself in reach
of call before the grand jury.
Soon after her hurried departure for
Europe q few weeks ago, when her
name was prominently mentioned in
came back that she had changed her
mind and was on the point of coming
back for a chat with Mr. Jerome But
this report has no foundation The dis
trict attorney has been informed that
Mrs. GelShenen has no intention of re-
turning TO America until the whole af-
fair has been disposed of Her escape
is said TO have deprived Mr. Jerome Of
some highly important testimony Morse
was administrator of her husband S
large estate.
Mrs. Gelshenen will not be here next
week, as has been reported" said one of
TIE lawyers prominently connected with
the case. YESTERDAY nor will she be
here at any other time so long as the
district attorney has any need Of her
presence"

preme court, 10 set aside the decree on
the grounds that it had been illegally
obtained
Dodge Pleads Ignorance
Dodge alleged that the suit was news
TO him. and that he had never been
had no opportunity TO set up d defense.
and that he had never retained Ruger,
who represented him at the trial.
Former Supreme, Court Justice Ernest
Hall was then named as. referee In the
case for the taking of testimony, and
bes reported that Dodge's allegations
nad 'Deen sustained, Whereupon Mrs.
Dodge asked for an annulment of her
marriage TO Morse.
Fursman. Little & Schwarzkopf. coun-
sci for Mrs Morse, and Wauhope Lynn,
Morse counsel, agreed to send thescaSe
keener, as referee, who reported that
the motion for dnnulment was in order
and Justice Bischoff annulled the mar
riage.
Dodge Fled to Texas.
Dodge, at the time he brought the
action, had just recovered from a state
of impecuniosity. He had been a stew
ard on a Pullman car for time, and
had apparently lost all the money he
Immediately the application was
made. however. Dodge appeared on
Broadway and spent money right and
left, apparently having a very good
time. Then trouble threatened and he
sought a home in PARKWAY Texas.
A lawyer, who had represented Mrs
Dodge in the divorce. proceedings against
Dodge, set to work TO prove that Dodge
had been served in the suit Going over
the dead RugerS' papers ne found letters
from Dodge to Ruger which intimated
pretty clearly that such had indeed
beeZl the case.
Tangle Becomes Worse
Then the tangle became doubly en-
tangled, and the question Of the validity
of the original divorce was again at Is
sue: Whose wife was Mrs. Rogers?
Mrs Dodge retired to Lakewood and
later, it Is said, to Florida in both of
which places she lived in Seciusion.
Dodge meantime was having a lively
time in Texas. He was never stinted
for money. that much was clear. He
was followed by Jerome'5 detectives
from place to place
He was taken to New York from
Texas the latter part of last month to
answer to the Indictment which had
been found against him charging him
with perjury.
1t is supposed his testimony before
the grand jury is the principal rock on
on which the present indictments
are founded
Hurries to Europe.
One of the most sensational features
Of the district attorneys investigation
of the case came a few weeks ago,
when Mr.. Jerome made public a letter
which he had sent to Mrs. Gelshenen
the widow of prominent business man
who had been associated with Charles
w. Morse, requesting her 20 appear be-
fore the grand Jury to testify in con-
nection with the Dod6e-Morse case.
She sailed for Europe a few days
later. On her arrival on the other side
she expressed herself as willing to re
turn to New York if necessary. and at
the same time declared that she never
had had any intention of marrying MI
She is still IN Europe.

DECISION ADVERSE
To BEEF TRUST
Supreme Court Unanimous
for the Injunction.
THE WRIT OF CERTIORARI
It Affects Legality of Sale of Certif-
Gates to the Northern Securi-
ties Company.
THE WRIT OF cERTI0RARI

The Supreme Court of the United
States today rendered a decision adverse
to Swift & Co. and other companies IN
the Beef trust, in their appeal from the
Injunction Of the Federal court for the
northern district of Illinois, restraining
their Illegal combination to restrict com
petition In the purchase or live stock and
In the sale Of dressed beef.
The sweeping Injunction was affirmed
with certain minor notifications to
make it conform TO the bill of the At
torney General. The decision was unan-
imouS.
The application for u writ of certiorari
made by Z. H. Hartman and WinsloW
Pierce, of the Oregon Short line, for
revision by the United States Supreme
Court OF the decision OF the court of
appeals of the third district, holding that
the Northern Securities Company was
not OBLIGED to return the identical stock
deposited in the original Northern Sc
curities pool, was also granted by the
Supreme Court of the United States this
morning.
Effect of Decision.
The effect of this decision is to throw
into issue again the question whether
the original acquisition of stock by the
Northern Securities Company was legal.
although the purpose of the corporation
was later declared SO Illegal as to make
necessary the dissolution of the COM
pany- In case the securities in the
later proceedings to be taken under the
writ of certiorari granted this morning
further supports Harrinaan's contention.
j. Pierpont Morgan James j. Hill, and
the other hackers of the Northern Sc
curities Company will not be permitted
in the dissolution of the company to
sell all the stocks held by it in the open
market, and distribute the proceeds to
the shareholders, but will be forced to
return the original stock to the original
holders thereof

had its real beginning as far back as

prfetor of the Granite Hotel, in Atlanta

Dodge prospered for a time and made
money IN the hotel business in the

Remarkable Instance of Grati-

age, very wealthy and full of wit,
died recently at Fontainbleau, in
France. Her will contained this
provision: 81 leave to my physi-
clan, whose enlightened care and
wise prescriptions have made me
live SO long, all that is contained
in the old oak chest in my bou-
doir. The key of the chest will be
found under the mattress of my

turbed, for they foresaw material
diminution of their share of the
property The fortunate and ex-
pectant physician at length arrived.

key of the chest 1t was opened
and found to contain solely all the
drugs and potions still intact, which
the worthy physician had given his
patient for twenty years back.
