SPOTLIGHT THROWN
ON HABITS
MORE SECRET INFORMATION
GIVEN ABOUT CONDUCT OF
MRS. HOWARD GOULD. .

New York, June 17.The spotlight
of the cross examiner continued tU
oscllate today in the trial of Mrs
Howard Gould's suit for separation
from the estate at Castle Gould to
the st. Regis hotel, to the farm at
Gould yacht and back to New York
again, but except for the moments
when it fingered on Dustin Farnum
it never got very far away from the
buffers keys to the wine cellar.
There was visible an attitude on the
part of the defense, which in this trial
of many surprises has been curiousiy
shifted over to what is virtually the
prosecution, to prove that Mrs. Gould
was not only so frequently under the
influence of intoxicants as to fall
within the rulings Of Justice Bowling
that she must be proved an habitual
drunkard before her husband can be
justified for leaving her, but to prove
that when she had been drinking her
character underwent a transformation
for the worse.
Delaney NicolI. counsel for the hus-
band, was willing enon"h to adducc
testimony that the wife was aftable
when herself, if only he could bring
her good nature into contrast with
testimony that needed to show her
violent, abusive, uncertain in her
moods and confused in her actions

New York, June 17.--W W. Rule,
statistician of the anthracite COM
pancs, was q witness today in the
company's suit charging the coal roads
with maintaining an Illegal combina-
ton. He was questioned as to the
working of the agreement following
the settlement. of the strike Of 1902
through the Intervention of President
Roosevelt, by which the miners were
to receive Il ] per cent increase in
wages for every cents advance above
Sd. 80 Il ton made by the mine owners.
Mr.. Rule admitted that the coal
companies likely received at least as
much from the increase in price as
did the miners.
so that if labor received $17,000,00O
more in wages since the strike in
1902 and the operators benefited equal

THE CASE AGAINST PAT
RICK CALHOUN.

San Francisco, June 1I,-Francls j.
Heney, famous throughout the country
as prosecutor before he came to
this city, four years ago, laid down
his half-completed argument in the
case of Patrick Calhun tonight, alter
relating his ambition to become dis
trict attorney of the new Adminlstra-
ton in San Francisco and after out
lining, with all the Vehemence OF his
fiery disposition, the theory of the
prosecution that tends to connect the
president of the United Railroads with
the charge of briberytha t has served
as the basis of a five months trial.
Mr.. Heney expects to conclude by to-
morrow afternoon at the hour of ad-
journment, and it is hoped that Judge
William p. LaWlor, after submission
of the argument, will elect to give
his instructions, which will, 1T is be-
lieved, require about three hours TO
deliver, and give the case to the jury
in night session. otherwise, as is
admitted, the instructions will be de-
ferred until Saturday morning.
Mr.. Heney exploited the history of
several political bosses with whose
records he manifested acquaintance.
"Go down the line" said the
speaker; remember Boss Tweed OF
New York, Butler Of Missouri, Blind
Chris Buckley. Sam Rainey and Phil
Crimnins of San Francisco. Can you

wood pulp and print paper are both
