One problem that confronted the
committee was the question OF rev

two years, and thus has affected
American commerce and greatly re-
duced our revenues. 80 that we have

! The last normal year of imports
was the fiscal year ending June 80,
1906: 1907 was an unusually prosper
Gus year, but revenues from customs
exceeded those OF 1906 by thirty-two
millions of dollars. The committee
have therefore taken the year 1906 as
the basis to form their estimate OF
the revenue producing qualities OF the
new bill Should the next fiscal year
prove prosperous and the normal con-
dtions OF 1906 return, on account or

revenues for 1910 would show a con-

DON'T MARRY UNTIL
GIVEN FRANCHISE
ADVICE OF MRS. OLIVER H. p.
BELMONT TO YOUNG WO-
MEN OF AMERICA.

New York, June Women
would get the suffrage in eighteen
months ii every woman would pledge
herself rot to marry until suffrage was
granted think every woman suffra-
gist should pledge herself not to
marry out Of the cause, just as every
member OF the Salvation Army has to
take an oath not to marry outside the
army"
In these and other statements Mrs.
Oliver II. P. Belmont reiterated her
recently avowed purpose to assist the
cause OF woman suffrage. Mrs. Bel
mont, who returned from London last
week, is at the Hotel ST Regis.
i have been in favor of woman sui
hage all my life she said, but it was
only after observing the acF ievements
Of the English sutfragettes that ! saw
how might be able to take an active
part in the G@ht-yOu know it may
come to actual fighting in England,
yes, 10 warfare between men and wO-
men battling for their rights.
Year after year women have been
going up, up, and men have been going
down. There is, of course, one way in
which women could get the ballot all
over the world in eighteen months,
tut they haven't the courage to at
tempt il. They would be too much
afraid of losing their chances OF that
precio us thing, a husband, which, un-
fortunately, they have been taught to
prize
Il think that if most women over
Is told the truth they would say that
they hate men. But, OF course, under
the present unjust conditions they
conceal their feelings.
The American idea that it is de
grading to the wife to work after mar
rage is the cause Of much unhappi-
ness.
Every woman should have a trade
or profession and she should con
t;nue to work at it after she becomes
wife"

EXCESSIVE.
PARTIAL TO COCKTAILS IN THE
MORNlNG-HOT TALK AT The
HEN COOP.

New York, June 16.-Torn with an
ger and extreme humiliation, alter
nately flushing with shame sobbing
Tor clenching her hands in exaspe a
ton, Katherine CIemmons Gould sat
through The trying ordeal in the SUI
preme court yesterday at the contin-
uatiOn of her suit for separation
agains. Howard Gould.
1t was a day Of testimony for the
defense duing which GOuld's attor-
ney sought to bring out through wit
nesses who had been associated with
Mrs. Gould, that her habits were
such that her husband was justified in
leaving her. In the event of proving
this, the defense hopes to undermine
the charge of abandonment, the only
phase Of the plaintiff S case which has
WithstOOd the attacks of opposing
counsel, Justice Bowling having ruled
out the charges of cruelty and non
support. Howard Gould himself may
take the stand today.
1t was during the testimony of wit
nesses for the defense concerning the
alleged violent and proGane language
some of it as related too strong 20 ba
printed with propriety, that Mrs.
Gould wept most. Yet she recovered
herself quickly and at times coached
her lawyer, refreshing his memory on
certain incidents with sugges ions and
reminders.
Specific statements that Mrs. Gould
had been intoxicated on various occa-
sions, that she called Howard Gould
You little hound" one night, that
Cnce she was apparently so under the
influence of liquor as 10 stagger
Gould, that her maid brought liquors
to her room including sometimes two
cocktails before breakfast, was among
the statements brought out as EN-
plOyes of the Gould estate related on
the stand their experiences with their
former mistress. Verbal clashes with
the manager of the great estate heat
ed arguments at the hen coop with
the carpenters, one of whom testified
that she could not walk straight" at
the time; period when she remained
in her room for two weeks, cOnsum-
ing during that time seven bottles of
brandy with other liquors-these in
cidents and others were sworn to on
the stand. Also there was an &C
count by a former steward of an ex-
citing night, when he said. she want
ed the house locked, although Howard
Gould was out on the front lawn
This, said the steward, did not seem
to appeal to Mrs. Could as in argr-
ment against closing the front door
and she told him to 20 ahead and
lock up. To appease her, he testi-
fed, he shut the door but did no,
lock it
While most of yesterdays test
mony was against Mrs. Gould one
witness late yesterday afternoon
spoke in her favor He is Charles
H. DAMS of Glen Cove, Long Island,

engaged in The business of sinking
artesian wells. He testified that in
902 and 1903 he did considerable
work on the Gould estate and saw
Mrs. Gould frequently. He had never
seen her intoxicated. he said but at
times he knew she had been drinking
because he could smell her breath"
