Ign avenue Mrs. Colt retains the
name of her first husband, who died
about nine years ago.
Mr.. Kiley, according to his adj
mission, contributed TO the support
of Mrs. Colt, but solely through his
strong friendship for her. His re,a-
tons with Mrs. Colt were so close
that in October, 1903, she accompa-
MED him on his trip TO San Fran
cisco to attend a bankers conven-
ton. The couple stopped of at
Hammond. Ind. and were married
there. This is Mr.. Kiley's e~xplana-
ton of the matrimonial tanglc in
which he enmeshed himself.
When We left Brooklyn my wife
was extremely i'll at my home. She
was not expected to live. On the
way out West | talked over the mat

QUINN FOR THE DEFENSE
of the E~X-Savannah Engi-
..neer in the Greene and GaynOr Case.
Colonel Marshall Also on the Stand.

Savannah, March 27.-Lieutenant
!Colonel James B. Quinn's testimony at
1.-THE Greene and Gaynor trial today was
the feature of the hearing. The testi-
imony of the ex-Savannah engineer
who has been assigned to duty at
Sioux City was for the defense.
Colonel William L. Marshall, United
States army. in charge of engineering
work in New York harbor, was the
first witness today in h Greene and
IGaynor trial. HIS testimony was large
lly similar to that of other officers who
had preceded him, being favorable to
the contention of the defense that the
river and harbor work of the Savan-
inah department had been done in ac-
there was nothing unusual in the meth
lodS followed by Carter in advertising
ifor bids and awarding contracts.
Colonel James B. Quinn who sue
decided Major Gillette in charge of the
Savannah district also testified that 1t
was his custom to send three copies Of
specifications TO prospective bidders.
whether or not they might request
them. Formerly. he said. it was more
difficult to send more han one copy,
because the department was niggardly

Ificient number
There was no material difference in
lcOst of the three designs of mattresses
that Carter required. said the witness.
The labor was the most important
Item.
The work done by Greene and Cay
nor the witness further testified had
accomplished its purpose of deepening
1.-THE harbor. and in order to effect this
result he said. it must have been well
dome. The cost of Greene and Gaynor
work Colonel Quinn regarded as quite
reasonable.

Sagacious Intervention Of Ambassador
White i'm the Algeciras Conference.
An Early Agreement Between
France and Germany Is Confidently
Expected.

Algeciras, Spain, March 27.-Am5as-
sador White and the others OF the
American delegation TO the conference
On Moroccan reforms were sho wered
with compliments today for wha- is
regarded as their sagacious interyen-
ton, which has assured a solution Of
the last remaining serious difficulty
of the conference, and a final settia-
complicated questions ever brought
before the conference for decision.
Austria's police proposal yesterday
left the German and French delegates
still occupying totally opposite stand
points relative TO the police inspection.
Mr.. White, seeing the danger of disa
greament, took the initiative in efforts
TO save the situation. He and his col
leagues drew up a fresh scheme, laying
down the proposition that the in5pec-
tors shall report simultaneously to
both the Sultan and the diplomatic
corps at Tangier, the latter having au-
thority to order inquiries into the
working of the Franco-Spanish police
scheme, thus guaranteeing the carry
ing out of the conference decision and
safeguarding foreign interests and
commercial transactions.
The diplomatic corps, after informa-
ton, the sultan may also at any time
order the inspector to inquire and re-
port. should any interested govern
ment present a complaint. Before
presenting this plan to the committee
Mr.. White approached the principal
delegates. The British, Italian and
Russian delegates unhesitatingly az
proved Che proposal, and promised it
their fullest support. Mr.. White then
conferred successfully with the French
and German delegates, who agreed as
to the p~racticability of the idea and
consented to submit the schema to
their respective governments, whose
concurrence they consider to be viz
tually certain.
Meantime the committee incorporac-
ed the scheme in their proposition for
presentation to the full conference
which later adopted it Professionally
while awaiting the French govern
ment's recommendation, which dele
gates do not doubt will be accorded.
= The effect on the conference of the
acceptance of the American suggestion
was Immediately noticeable. One of the
neutral delegates present at the mo-
ment remarked as the French and Ger
man delegates were being photograph
ed together.
THAT photograph constitutes the
first signature of accord"
The successful action of the Ameri-
can delegation has made certain the
speedy end of the labors of the confer
ence. No one now forsees the slight
est obstacle to final accord.
= The conference has decided to hold
it's mex plenary sitting on Thursday.
In the interim the committee will meet
several times in the endeavor to con-
clud the settlement of the details this
week.

tation as one of the most influential
Christian workers in the world His
work is along strictly undenominational
lines. and in his writings and preaching
he appeals TO reason rather than TO
sentiment and aims to convince the

Russell in other cities where he has
spoken.
His presence on Sunday afternoon is
the result of an invitation extended last
year by his friends Of this city. No
