LEMP'S DEFENSE IS ALL IN
LAVENDER LADY PHOTOGRAPH.
ED IN BROTHERS CLOTHES.
Had Her Picture Taken While Smok.
ing a Cigarette-Husband OBJ
jected to Her Style.

ST. LOUIS. February 16.-The defense
in the Lemp divorce trial sprung a sur
prise by concluding its side of the case
with but few witnesses.
Every point of the voluminous testimony
introduced by the plaintiff was either de-
MED explained away within a few
hours. AS a result there is no point on
either side which stands undiSputed.
Mamie Emerson, who formerly con-
Quoted resort in ST Louis. was on tho
stand to testify regarding a pillow which
she had given to William ]. Lemp. jr-.
through his brother, Louis A. Lemp.
She testified that Louis Lemp had told
her to make the pillow for Billy" who
was furnishing a Moorish room. She
said Mr.. Lemp had never spoken to her
since his marriage.
That Mrs. Lemp was dressed in a mans
Costume. wearing the clothes of her
brother. when the photograph was taken
showing her smoking a cigarette, which
has figured prominently in the suit, was
another development. This fact was
drawn from Lemp while under cross
examination.
These pictures. while figuring in the
testimony. have never been definitely de-
scribed. Lemp's admission was the first
intimation of their real character.
After securing the statement from
Lemp that the photograph was taken
some time before Mrs. Lemps marriage.
Attorney Leahy asked if it did not show
the Lavender Lady" in the costume OF
her brother.
yes" was the brewers answer.
Lemp admitted that his wife's costume
which won her the name of The Laven-
der Lady" had displeased him. He said
he objected not only to the famous laven-
der dress. but to other features.
The striking collars which she affected.
and long trains she invariably wore, he
said attracted attention and brought
ridicule upon his wife.

TENDENT OF INSURANCE.
Gov. Hughes Withdraws Nomina-
tion-Opposition of Politicians
Is Effective.

ALBANY, n. Y, January 27-Gov.
Hughes today withdrew the nomination
of Frederick A. Wallis state superin-
tendent of insurance.
In a letter to Gov. Hughes Mr.. Wallis
said:
while the criticisms which have been
directed against me since my nomina-
ton are each and every one of them ut
terly without foundation, and nothing
has been or can be developed which can
reflect upon me in any manner whatso-
ever. l do not care to accept the office
to which so much political opposition has
been directed
II have, therefore, decided to continue
in my present position with my COM
pany.''
The withdrawal of Mr. Wallis name
follows the adoption by the Senate Mon
day night of a resolution introduced by
Senator Grady. calling upon the acting
superintendent of insurance to furnish
the Senate with authenticated copies OF
correspondence. bringing to the atten-
ton of the department or dealing with
any complaint To the rebating or in

REQUIRED TO PAY. COST
JUDGMENT GIVEN AGAINST
T. F.. OF l.. OFFICIALS.
Award Signed by Justice Wright in
Favor of Complaihants in the
Recent Contempt Proceedings.

In addition to the terms of Imprisonment
imposed by Justice Wright of the District
Supreme Court on President Samuel
Gompers, Vice President John Mitchell
and Secretary Frank Morrison of the
American Federation of Labor for con-
tempt in violating the injunction Of the
court, the three labor leaders must pay
the costs of the proceedings which led
up to the finding of contempt
Justice Wright late yesterday afternoon
signed an order awarding judgment for
costs in favor of the Buck Stove and
Range Company OIL st. Louis, Mo- The
costs are said to aggregate about 81 800.
The labor leaders opposed the motion of
the company that the costs be placed on
them, asserting that most Of the matters
concerning which proof was taken were
admitted by their answers, and that
therefore the taking of testimony to SUBJ
stantiate these allega ions was useless
and the cost of such testimony should be
paid by the compliments.
The compliments urged on the court
that only portions of the material allega-
tons were admitted by Mr.. GomperS and
his associates, and that these admitted
facts were not sufficient to make out a
case of contempt. The complainants hav-
ing been put to the necessity of proving
the allegations and their proof having
been accepted by the court, the burden
should fall on the labor leaders.

BANQUET CALLED OFF.
United German Societies Resent
What They Regard as a Snub.

On the ground that German-Ameri-
can members of Congress are unrespon-
sive to the advances made to them by the
German societies of Washington, the
United German Societies at meeting
held last night at Besslers Hail called off
a proposed banquet to the legislators of
Teutonic extraction.
Some time ago it was suggested that a
banquet be given In honor of these con-
gressmen. Plans were made and the final
arrangements were to have been per-
fected last night for the entertainment.
But Gustav Bender secretary of the So
cety, in speech on the subject declared
that the German congressman had shown
no enthusiasm whatever. He called at
tention to the fact that the lawmakers
had not even replied to invitations to at
tend an entertainment of the society
some months ago.
Mr.. Bender said since the congressman
cared for nothing but votes it would be
better for the local German societies to
pass them up entirely and reach them
through the German American Alliance.
One of the older members of the society,
Rudolph Saur defended the congressman.
but the society unanimously voted to
abandon the plan of entertaining the leg

SECRETARY ROOT QUITS CITY
DEPARTS WITHOUT SIGNING
FISHERIES TREATY.
Failure Due to Delay of New
foundland Cabinet-Takes Of
fetal Leave of Associates.

Contrary TO his hope. Secretary Root did
not sign the Newfoundland fisheries
treaty with Ambassador Bryce of Great
Britain before his departure from the city
today Mr.. Bryce has not yet received
authority to sign the treaty. The delay is
due to the non-action of the Newfound-
land cabinet in agreeing to the terms
of the proposed treaty, which is still under
discussion by it.
Secretary Root today appeared before
the committee on foreign relations and
made a detailed explanation of what will
be the terms of the convention. This
action was taken because of the fact
that it would not be convenient for him to
appear before the committee after the
treaty has been received
Secretary Root took official leave of his
associates at the State Department yester-
day afternoon. He thanked the chiefs

HAYES ON RURAL SCHOOLS
ASSISTANT SECRETARY OF
AT MINNEAPOLIS
Stops Off on Way Here From Fargo
to Confer Over Proposed
Consolidation.

MINNEAPOLIS, January 21.-Agitatlon
for change in the state law providing
for the consolidation of rural schools was
decided lpon here at a conference be-
tween Willet M. HAYES. assistant secre-
tary of agriculture, and members of the
faculty of the state agricultural school.
Mr.. Hayes stopped in Minneapolis on
his way from Fargo, N. D.. where he ad-
dressed an agricultural convention, and
took the opportunity to discuss the rural
school problem. in which he has been
interested for many years. The confer
ence was held In his room at the West
Hotel. and was attended by E. w. Ran
dali, former dean of the agricultural
school; Prof Andrew Boss. professor of
animal husbandry and successor to Mr.
Hayes in that position. and several others
interested in educational matters
The Minnesota laws provide that any
county by majority vote may consoli-
date it's rural schools. This is done by
abolishing the small district schools and
establishing central buildings with eXpe-
renced teachers. The children are con-
veyed from their homes to the. school in
stages. The objectionable point in the
law is that the county, if it adopts the
consolidation plan at all, must adopt 1t
throughout the county.
Mr.. Hayes and others who have seen
the plan in operation in other states think
the county should be allowed TO CONSOLE
date the schools one district at time and
gradually cover the county. AS result
of this conference bill remedying this
matter will be introduced into the legis-
lature during the present session.
First for Consolidation.
Mr.. Hayes was one of the first advo-
Gates of the consolidation plan.
THE country schools can be CONSOLE
dated in districts and the children trans
ported TIC them,' he said, cheaper than
an ordinary country school can be oper-
ated- OF course, they cost more than a
poor country school. but less than good
