lawyer, Morton Lowy, that she was
married to Katz twenty-eight years
ago In Germany, and that he is the
father of her children.
Katz admitted that he had lived with
the woman in Germany for years. but
denied that he was married to her.
He left Germany eight years ago
and settled in this city, marrying 19-
year-old girl. Julia Goldner. Three chill
dren came to their home since the mar
riage. About two years ago the woman
styling herself the first Mrs. Katz
followed him to this country, and nine
months ago accosted him In the street

rested. At that time the case was
dropped in the Fourth Criminal Court

were the parents, and this, 1t Is
claimed was conclusive proof that the
couple were not married Her lawyer
produced a certificate of Katz's mar
riage eight years ago, in which he
states that he was married twice. He
explained this by saying that 1t was a
disgrace not to be married at Al in the

ing to settle the case for 5000 today,
but Katz did not have the money. He

woman has made no attempt to make
charge of bigamy against him. If
she did action in this State would be
barred by the statute of limitation.
Katz refused to press a complaint
against the woman.

Brown Kept Out of Convention
for Making 0vertures

CHICAGO, July 2S.-The Independ-
ence party, which last night launched
itself fully into American politics by
opening its first national convention,
was early today busily engaged in the
construction of its initial platform and
in the selection of its first presidential
candidate.
The committee on credentials declined
to grant a seat in the convention to
e. Gerry Brown, of Massachusetts,. 1t
is claimed that he made overtures to
the Democratic party claiming that he
would be an available candidate for
that organization because of strength
he possessed in the Independence party.
The announcement was made that
Judge Samuel Seabury, of New York,
who has been talking strongly for
Bryan, Is not entitled TO seat in the
convention. Judge Seabury declared
that he had never attempted to be d
delegate. Il was asked to be a dele
gate" said the judge, but refused be-
cause l did not have the time"
The enthusiasm shown by the dele
gates last night was taken by the lead
ers Of the party as happy omen of the
future of the organization, and they
labored today with great cheerfulness
on their first declaration of principles.
The resolutions committee. Howard S.
Taylor. of Chicago, chairman, continued
its work far into the night and was
hard at 1t early today.
Whether or not the nomination is to
be the result of dictation from any
source, there can be no possible doubt
that the platform will be the outcome
of a discussion entirely free from that
