NEW YORK, Oct. Ito give coun-
sci for Howard Gould an opportunity
to submit "afidavits of three disinter-
ested persons who have seen MIS-.
Gould intoxicated, a hearing on MIS-.
Gould's application for alimony at tns
rate of 100000 a year was adjourned
by Justice Giegerich in the supreme
court today.
The adjournment followed a spirited
discussion between counsel, in tne
course of which Clarence j. Shearn, at
torney for Mrs. Gould, declared the ap-
plication for adjournment was merely
jockeying for delay to save Mr.. Gould
a few paltry dollars and to attempt 10
get on the records wicked and scan,
dalous statements against Mrs. Gouio
in an attempt to further blacken her
character"
Al the conclusion Of the arguments
Justice Giegerich, without comment
granted the application FOR aaJourn55
nent to Octoger 13, after ne nao
learned that Mr.. Gould had sent mis-
wife a check for $1,000 as her monthly
allowance yesterday.
Mrs, Gould's suit is for separation
on the ground of abandonment ana
cruelty. She has received an allow
ance of $4,000 year from her husDahu
since they separated.
for an adjournment Delaney N1coll
said it was set forth in Mr.. Gould's
answer that he was JUSTIFIED IN apan-
doning his wife because of her ire
auent intoxication, which made lie
with her intolerable.
Drunk at Party
MIR. Nicoll said that once, while she
was grossly intoxicated at bridge
party at the home of Mrs. George
Kirkpatrick, in this city, Mrs. Gould
ATTEMPTED to assault several of the
women present, and bit Mrs. kirkpat-
rick's arm. He said that on another
occasion when Mr.. and Mrs. Gould
were at a theater Mrs. Gould wrong
fully accused her husband of flirting
with one of the actresses on the stage
and of having winked at the actress.
1--WE will prove" said Mr. Nicoli,
"that not only was Mr.. Gould not IN
toxicated, as his wife asserts, not alone
that he did not wink at or attempt 70
fiirt with an actress, but that Mrs.
Gould was so drunk that she had to De
led from the theater."
Mr.. Shearn, replying, asserted tnat
all these charges were raise ana We're
an outrage. He entered vigorous
protest against an adjournment.
'This request of Mr.. NicolPs is mere
,v iockeyinn for delay" said he. "and l
insist this matter should be dlsposeu

After Mr.. Nicoll had told the court
that three witnesses from whom ne
desired to procure depositions had re-
fused to make affidavits, and that IL
would be necessary for him to ask Tor
a court order to compel them to sub

COMMISSION WARNED OF
SHAKY SAVINGS BANK

FRESNO, Cal, Oct. 1.-That let

tion in time was responsible for the
opening of the Valley Savings bank
of Fresno, which institution was closed
by the order of the state bank COM
mission last week, Is the statement
made by Attorney J P. Bernhard for
the commission this morning.
The letter is said to have been gotten
UP by persons in this city who dis
credited the Valley Savings bank, and
according to Bernhard, contained some
startling information regarding the
men behind the institution.
The letter was addressed to Secre-
tary Mcguire of the bank commits
sicners, but was left unopened until
MCGUIRE returned from his vacation.
When he had read the letter, Bern
herd says Mcguire Immediately took
Steps to inform the commissioners.
This was in the middle of August,
which, if correct, accounts for the
presence OF the bank commissioners
in this city Immediately preceding the
closing of the bank. Bernhard stated
also this morning that the depositors
would undoubtedly be paid in full.

TWO RAILROADS FILE
AMENDED COMPLAINTS
Federal Attorneys Again File Demur-

Rate Questioned
[Hy Associated Press.l

SAN FRANCISCO Oct. 1.-Declaring
the rate fixed by the Interstate COM
merce commission on lumber shipped
from the Willamette valley to San
Francisco bay points Is confiscatory
and attacking the constitutionality OF
the act creating the commission, attor-
neys representing the Southern Pacific
and the Oregon g. California railroads
today filed in the United States circuit
court of appeals a new bill of COM
plant containing allegations omitted
in the previous proceedings, which end
ed yesterday in decision upholding
the demurrer of the government.
In the original application for an In
junction the transportation companies
rested their case upon the, contention
that the commission was not vested
with the power of fixing or altering
freight rates, and besought the court
to review the findings of the conmis-
sion.
This afternoon the federal attorneys
filed with the court a demurrer to the
amended complaint of the railroads.
basing their objection to the granting
of an injunction on the same grounds
as set forth in the previous case; that
the complaint does not show SUFFICIENT
cause. for action.
The case was then argued until the
close of the session and will be re-
sumed tomorrow.
one of the features OF the amended
complaint of the railroads is the declar-
alton that the Interstate commerce
commission in fixing the rate against
which the railroads are fighting not
only exceeded it's authority but set
the new rate at an unjust and unrea-
snrable figure. basing such rate on the
cost of water transportation, rather
than railroad hauling.

kin, the premier of Australia, sent a
cablegram to President Roosevelt a
fortnight ago thanking him for hav-
ing made possible the visit of the
American fleet to Australian waters
and urging him to visit Autsarlia on
his way to Africa.
The fact that no answer has yet
been received from the president has
given rise to considerable speculation
in Australia.

Counselor Emos Howard of the em-
bassy.

CHICAGO, Oct. IA dispatch to the

says: 1.-THE National Model License
league, an organization of distillers.
brewers, wine makers, wholesalers and
retailers, with headquarters here, will
begin tomorrow the distribution of an
address to the saloon keepers of the

The address is written by T. M. Gill
more, president of the National Model
License league.
Every retailer throughout the nation
is called on to obey the law and to
meet the will of the people. Attention

the evils which have been connected
to a greater or less extent with the sale
of alcoholic beverages.
Saloon keepers are warned that they
must either respect public sentiment
and obey the law or lose their legal

WANTS LAW INVOKED
If ACTS ARE WRONG
Says the Amount He Received from
Standard Oil Is His Business, and
Employment by Octopus
Was Legitimate
Lny Associated Press.1


CINCINNATI. Ohio. Oct. THAT
the law be invoked against him If he
has done wrong is the conclusion of
statement by United States Senator
Foraker which he gave to the Associ-
ated Press here today. Before making
this suggestion he sums up the various
charges that have been made and dis
cusses briefly the legal ethics as to
service for various clients. The state
ment is as follows:
1.-THE questions in this whole mat
ter in which the public is concerned are:
"First-Whether / was employed by
the Standard Oil company. which was
never concealed or denied; and
"Second-The character of that en1-
ployment, whether it had any relation
to my duties as senator or influenced
me in any manner in regard thereto.
ION all these points have answered
fully in my former published state
ments.
''I have not until now spoken of the
compensation 1 received, because If the
employment was improper it would be
no defense to show that it was small
sum, but If on the other hand the em-
ployment was proper, the compensation
concerned only the company and my
self nobody else. If my former state
ments are true, as 1 know them to be,
the employment was entirely proper
and legitimate and therefore the ques-
ton of compensation Is one 1 do not
feel called upon to discuss with Mr..
Hearst.
I'm view, however, of the important
character of the service rendered, the
ability of the company to pay, and If
it may be considered, although unfore-
seen, the disagreeable experience to
which / am subjected, think 1t would
be difficult for Mr.. Hearst to show that
l was overpaid. but if he should that
would be the matter for the company to
complain about and not Mr.. Hearst"

notified. at his home in Barrytown,
of his nomination fos governor by the
Democratic state convention. The
speech of notification was BY Alton
B. Parker, Democratic presidential
nominee in 1904
Mr.. Chanler, in his speech of ac-
ceptance, said:
THE people cannot rule, in nation
or in state, so long as the power and
patronage of the presidency are sue
cessfully exerted to control the de-
liberations of state and national con-
ventions, and to dictate who shall pc
selected for the presidency and the
governorship.
"We have had too much excitement
and Mysteries Let US right wrongs
and reform abuses calmly and without
unnecessary noise. 1t is not necessary
to bring a reformation by creating q
panic reforms intelligently Instituted
should result in a firmer tone in busi-
ness, and in greater public commence
in existing conditions"
in an indirect allusion to the con-
troversy over the race track gambling
situation. Mr.. Chanler said;
Personal Liberty
81 am a great believer in not un-
necessarily interfering with the per-
sonal habits, customs and pastimes of
the people; / favor all healthful recre-
ations which tend to develop and
strengthen the body or to rest the
minds of our hard working citizens,
and 1 declare that the line of reason
able and necessary regulation has been
reached, or even exceeded. The more
We endeavor to restrict personal lib
erty, the less anxious shall we be to
promote any,"
Judge Parker, in his speech of no
tification, said in part You have
been nominated because the Demo-
Gratis of the state want, and It's peo-
pie need, the restoration of such poll
cies as you represent. In your public
life you have demonstrated the ability
to resist wrong and to protect the
public from extortion. This great serv-
Ice furnished a modern example of
the old-fashioned way of performing
official duty Men who think have
concluded that it promises much in
