HARTJE DIVORCE SUIT
Arguments in Case Begun at
Pittsburg Today.
COURT ROOM WAS FILLED
Senior Counsel for Hartje 0pened for
Senior Counsel for Hartje Opened for
Prosecution.
JUDGE AN ATTENTIVE LISTENER
Libelant's Lawyer Strove to Beat
Down Evidence as to Clients AL
legged Visits to Evil Resorts.

PITTSBURG, Pa, August 6.-The argu-
ments In the Hartje divorce case were be-
gun In common pleas court No. today,
and in expectation of q series OF brilliant
speeches on the part of the attorneys In
the case the court room was filled with
spectators. Most of those who were pres
ent during the trial were absent. but the
principals were in attendance and followed
the proceedings with interest.
William B. Rodgers, senior counsel for
Augustus Hartje, opened the arguments for
the prosecution. He began his address qul-
city, but soon warmed up to his subject.
Judge Fraz& listened with the close atten-
ton which has been habitual during the en-
tire course of the trial Mr. Rodgers de-
voted his address to an effort to beat down
the evidence wherein 1t relates to the al
legged visits of Augustus Hartje to resorts
ot questionable character
He pointed out that Mrs. Hartje had lett
her husband. the libellant, while he lay III
in bed. and then launched into his main ar
gument to break down the testimony OF
servants and other witnesses called by the
defense.
Concerning the letters which the defense
allege are forgeries. Mr.. Rodgers said the
style and manner of the missives afford
strong proof of their genuineness. From
beginning to end, he said, thoughts were
expressed as they would flow.
Mr.. Rodgers referred to Coachman Ma
dine, the correspondent, as one below Mrs.
Hartje in social position and said "the let
ters show that the writer was displaying
only a physical interest in the object of
her solicitude. She told him to keep his
nails clean, not to eat fast and to bathe
properly"
"It is these trivial things that stamp
them, to my mind, as genuine" said he.
Mr.. Rodgers was followed by j. Scott
Ferguson, also of the prosecution. Mr..
Ferguson confined his address to a discus
sion of the letters, which, he declared, were
all written by the same person.
Marcus w. Acheson then made the first
plea for the defense. He inclined well to
the pathetic side of the case. and during
his address Mrs HartJe was moved to
tears.

IOWA DEMOCRATS ACTIVE.
See Chance in Republican Disaffection
Convention Tomorrow.

WATERLOO, Iowa, August 6-Delegates
to the democratic state convention which
will meet tomorrow arrived today In large
numbers. AS nearly all the veteran workers
of the party are here a conference will be
held today TO agree upon tentative pro-
gram as TO the ticket
The leading candidates for governor are
George w. Ball of Iowa City, Claude
Porter of Centerville and John D. Denison
of Dubuque. AS TO other places on the
ticket there has been little talk. There is
no factional alignment visible on the ticket
or platform. Regarding one thing all who
have arrived are fully agreed, and that is
for strong Endorsement Of Bryan for
President.
Among the most conspicuous in this
movement are those who in the past have
opposed Bryan. II Is expected that the
tariff plank in the platform will demand
immediate revision and the placing of some
articles on the free list. There are some
who desire that plank on railroad rate
reduction shall contain threat of govern
ment ownership, but such a suggestion viii
be opposed.
A plank in favor of a national conciliatien
hoard TO deal with labor trouble is being
drawn. Nearly everything done in the con-
vention Will have In view preparation for
the national campaign two years hence.

In the six months of this year ended
June 30 the three naval training stations of
the navy received 5,3s7 apprentice seamen
OF this number 2,646 were enlisted at New
port, 2,15S at Norfolk and 5S3 at San Fran
cisco. San Francisco has led in desertions
with IL per cent; the rate of desertions at
Norfolk was per cent and Newport had
only per cent of desertions. The large
number of desertions credited to San Fran
cisco is due to the fact that a large num-
ber of men enlisted In various western
states and, ordered to San Francisco, failed
to report there.
OF the apprentice sean1en enlisted in the
six months ,S49 have been transferred to
sea-going ships as ordinary seamen. S78 as
