recent finding Of a pass on the Big

successfully prosecuted by the federal
government for granting rebates to the
American Refining company and fined
$12S,00O. He also devoted much at
tention to Mr.. Kern's employment by
Thomas Taggart as his attorney and
discussed in detail the alleged gam
bling at French Lick Springs, Ind.

per men who were in attendance at
the Democratic national convention at

to them that he was indebted for his
nomination to Mr.. Taggart.

New York, Oct. 5.-Although counsel for
Mrs. Peter c. Hams, jr-. failed today 10
file an affidavit of specifications in sup
port of her motion for alimony, counsel
fees and the custody of her children, in
the suit for absolute divorce brought by
her husband shortly before his shooting
of William E Annis. that fact IT appears
is not to entail default by her in the
proceedings. Weldon Percy, attorney for
Captain Hams in the divorce action. was
notified today that Mrs. Hams affidavit
would be filed tomorrow.
The omission to enter the affidavit to-
day had given rise to a rumOr that Mrs.
Hams had decided to admit the truth of
her husbands charges and thus aid him
in his forthcoming trial for the murder
of Annis. but this was promptly set at
rest by Mr.. Percy tonight
