HUSBAND PROVES WIFE
 WAS OF NEGRO DESCENT
HIS MARRIAGE TO BRIDGEPORT WOMAN AN
 NULLED ON GROUND OF DECEIT
William S. Horton, Yonkers Contractor Did Not Sus-
 pect Truth Till Child Was Born

Justice Fitzgerald yesterday in the New York courts, granted an inter- locutory decree of annulment of mar riage to William $. Horton, a wealthy plumbing contractor of Yonkers, who sued because he had learned that his wife, Edith May Williams Horton, of this city, had negro blood in her veins. The husband asserted he had been deceived into believing his wife was of Spanish and French descent, and until a few months ago had not learned her father was a mulattO and her grandmother and aunts were negroes.
 Mainly on the deposition furnished by relatives of Mrs: Horton in Bridge port did he obtain his decree. He also showed in court a photograph purporting to be that of his wife and her grandmother, who was a negress. Mrs. Horton denied she was of negro descent, but entered no defense to the suit.
 Horton, whose Yonkers home is in No. 12 Radford street, said he had met the woman who became his wife one night in returning from COney Island, and married her in March, 1909. One child was born. The sus- picions of the contractor were not aroused until after the birth of the baby, and he then began to investi- gate the ancestry of his wife, who had lived in Bridgeport

THIS ACCUSATION IS MADE BY CLEVELAND PRESS THROUGH WASHINGTON CORRE-

Cleveland, May 14.-The Cleveland Press today publishes the following from a staff correspondent:
 Washington, May 1.-The whole truth as to the circumstances sur rounding the preparation of the clean bill of health which President Taft gave to the Secretary of the Interior Ballinger in Taft's now famous let ter bearing date of September 13, 1909, is now made public for the first time.
 For weeks there has been more than a. suspicion in the minds of the at torneys who are prosecuting the Bal finger inquiry before the Congressional committee, that Taft had every few of the facts before him when he pub licly exonerated Ballinger and over his signature as president assured the American people that 'I have exam ined the whole record most carefully and have reached a definite conclu- sion."
 Up to within a few days, however even the attorneys for the prosecution have not guessed at the amazing truth which is that the President of the United States not only could not have examined the whole record most carefully. but the very statement that Taft issued to the people of the United States, eXonerating his Secre- tatry of the Interior was prepared. in large measure. by Oscar Lawler, law officer of the Interior Department in collaboration with Ba1linger and the high officials of the department Hay ing written their own acquittaI Bal finger and his fellow officials prese ~t-

New Haven, May 14.-Pending the receipt of a full report of the com- plaint lodged with the public service commission, Second district, of New York, against the increase in the com- mutation rates on the New Haven road, President Cl S. Mellen in a statement refused to say what the company's defense will be at this time.
 Most of the essential facts contained in the complaint of the commuters on the lower end of the New York divi- sion are familiar to the officials of the New Haven road. The complaint filed with the public service commis- sion, notice of which was received by the road yesterday will be forwarded to the company at once.
 Anticipating such a complaint which can be made only on one ground so lawyers say that being the reason ableness of the new rates, the legal department of the company in the yellow building has been engaged in preparing the roads answer for sev- eral days, According to the state ment, made today the right of the public service commission of New York state to regulate rates in an

 Thus was Ballinger, secretary of the Interior, appointed by Taft, exoner- ated.
 Thus was Glavis, a conscientious and able subordinate in the Interior Department, who out of a sense of duty, appraised the President of the facts, fired from the public service.
 Being asked by. congress to submit the whole record'' to the investigat- ing committee Taft sent over a mass of documents and files that have since then been printed in over 900 printed pages and which contain, in all, over a half million words.
 At liberal estimate President Taft had about eight hours in which to carefully read and weigh this mass of records during the seven days it was in his hands.
 It was sent to him on September 6 and he dated his Ballinger letter Sep tember 13.

Her relatives were found to De negroes, but Mrs. Horton then said she never knew her father, nor did she know her grandparents. The husband found as the aunts of his wife Gladys E.

It was broughtout from their testimony that Mrs. Horton's mother in 1885 had married mulatto named Howard Williams and that one child Edith May Williams, was born a year after ward.
 After this marriage Howard Will Hams eloped with another negress, leaving his child with her mother. This is the child, whom Horton said
 The annulment sets a precedent that may be the basis for many other suits that have deception before mar riage as their principal charge. From the verdict many lawyers interpret that a woman must disclose her his tory to her affianced before they marry or he may bring suit for di- vorce because of the withheld knowl- edge.

MEN OF BLOODY FOURTEENTH MEET
 ANCIENT FOES

The two old Southern Soldier Fid- dlers who are playing at Polls this week were royalty welcomed by Post Elias Howe among whom were two old veterans who were unusually en- thusiastic because of the meeting of the "Blue and the Gray.'' Russell Glenn and Oscar R. Beers who served in the old bloody 14th Conn. Regt. had the pleasure of meeting c. H. Hammersly and J. H. Dillon of the Confederate army who fought against each other at Fredericksburg and Gettysburg, two of the most desper- ate battles that were fought during the war, At Gettysburg on July 3, 1863 after two days hard fighting, c. H. Hammersly who was a tired party of the 16 Tennesse Regt. had shot his cartridge box empty and was taken prisoner by Russell Glenn and William Hncks and other members of the 14th Regt. Comrade Beers had been wound ed previous to the charge of the 18th Tennesse boys, but the memory of that terrible battle lives and the meet ing of the Blue and Gray after AS years was indeed pathetic.
