Accused by Elizabeth Richards, of
No. 254 North Tenth street, Philadel-
phia, OF non-support of his eleven

and that the defendant had agreed
TO pay his board. She said the boy
had a good home with her and that
tho defendant had brought him to her,
saying that he could not keep the boy
as he boarded.
Richards, however told a different
story. He said he sent the boy to
Mrs. Richards for a visit and that
she would not allow him to return.
Richards said he was willing to sup
port the child. but he wanted him in
Wilmington, and said that he proposed
to take such action in the Philadel-
phla courts as win bring this about.
He testified that the boy had been
taken from the custody OF the plaintiff
originally by the Society Of Preven-
ton of Cruelty Co Children, irf Phila-
heipuld anu pldceu III MS CuslOuys TIC
brought the lad to Wilmington. He
said Mrs. Richards begged him 10 send
the boy to her on n visit, and this he
did with the result that she kept him.
The plaintiff testified that she svas
teh defendant wife. and to attack the

line. Mr. Garrett called Chief of Police
George Black and Humane Agent
Frank Stout. who testified that they
had heard Mrs. Richards, at hear
Ing before Magistrate German. in Phil
adelphia. testify that she was not
married to Richards.
Magistrate Pyle decided that as the
man showed a Witness to support the
child the charge of non-support would
not stand. and he accordingly dismiss
ed the case.

TORY SPEAKERS
JEERED BY CROWD

By United Press Leased Special Wire.
LONDON, Dec. 16-One OF the chief
arguments used by the Conservatives in
the campaign against tho Liberals-that
the political agitation by the latter is
causing a collapse OF English industries-
was punctured to-day by the report Of the
board OF trade showing all branches Of
trade except cotton spinning greatly inn
proved in November over the same month
year ago.
Another situation that is causing the
Conservatives alarm is a shortage I'm
speakers OF note, due 10 the fact that
some OF the leading orators in the party
have been subjected 10 rough treatment
from hostile audiences.
Lord Pembroke and Lord Denblgh were
hooted and insulted mercilessly in their
speeches last night and but for tho pres
ence Of a large number OF police the
speaker would probably have suffered
bodily harm. Similar treatment has been
accorded other aristocratic speakers.

Taft Will Have to Curtail
Trips Because of Cost
Entailed.

That determined effort viii be made
during this season Of Congress 20 re-
store the $4,000 appropriation for the
Presidents travelling expenses, is the
report today among Senators ara mem
bers of the House close TO Mr.. Taft.
The President. not longer than a day
or two ago, expressed his fear that, al
though on his Western trip next sum
mer he wanted 10 so to the Seattle ex-
psitiOn and TO Alaska, lie might not be
able 10 go further than Denver. because
of the heavy expenses the travelling
would involve.
He pointed out his aversion 10 dead
headisn' while President and remarked
that the necessity of his carrying a
large party of clerks and stenOgrap6ers
would make the expenses very heavy
Friends Of the President, it is under
stood, have taken the matter UP and are
making a canvass to see what chance
there would be TO put such an apprO-
priatiOn through both houses of Con-
gresS. The idea, OF course, is to add the
$4,000 travelling expense without inter
ferinS with the SIS, 600 Increase OF the
Presidents salary authorized by the
last Congress.
