His Desertion
 Was JustifiabIe
COURT TURNS DOWN MRS. GAM

 Have Been Better for Both," Says court-Lived Together but Months

Gambler. her husband, a New York bank cashier, according to decision handed down by the su- preme court today. Gamblers suit for annullment of the marriage is on the fall calendar for jury trial.
 Desertion Was JustifiabIe.
 Justice Pendleton, who wrote the de- cisicn, finds Mrs. Gambler was not deserted by her husband, within the meaning of the law, because the deser- effort at reconciliation, the court finds. could not be accepted in good faith. Was Not Conducting Herself Properly
 If at the time she is said to have sought reconciliation she was con- ducting herself with another man in the manner testified by some witnesses the court holds that her efforts could of litigation.
 No Love for Her Husband.
 Tt woulG be impossible to reconcile such conditions with a belief that she entertained feeling of love for her husband or was willing to live with him." the decision reads.
 In Company of "Unknown Man.
 It was testified at the trial, which had several sensational features, that Mrs. Gambler was often seen in the company of '.an unknown man. The court says this was scarcely in ac- cord with the customary propriety for a married woman"
 Gambler Loved Her.
 On the other hand, the decision states, Gambler loved the plaintiff; married her with every intention of doing his duty by her, and treated her with great consideration, kindness and attention
 Better if He Had Been More Selfish.
 <It is possible if he had treated her with less consideration and had been more selfish, it would have been better for her and both of them," the decision continues.
 Lived Together Three Months.
 The couple were married here on April 30, 1910. The alleged desartion occurred on Aug. 10 of the same year.

 SCHOONER RESCUED.
Ocean Liner Brings In Ten Sailors
 Picked Up on July 30.

New York, Aug. 7.-Ten men rescued from the nid-ocean shipwreck of the French schooner Charles Henry were brought safely into port today by the Wilson line steamer Francisco. They were taken off the schooner by the Francisco on July 30 while the steam er was on her way from Hull England in latitude 4S.1s. longitude 2450.
 The Charles Henry a three ma sted topsan schooner, was bound from St Pierre, Miq., for Havre, with a cargo of fish. when she ran into a storm on July 26 and sprung a leak. For four days and nights the seven members of the crew and three fishermen aboard as passengers worked the pumps, but the water gained as their strength lessened and they were about exhausted when the Francisco sighted them on the evening of the 30th. A heavy north west gale was blowing, but learning the schooners' plight, Captain Clark lowered the starboard lifeboat in charge of Second Officer Law, and af- ter two perilous trips all those aboard the water-logged schooner were trans ferred.
 Before the last man left the Charles Henry attempts were made to set her af1re, so that if she f1oated she might not a menace to navigation, but owing to the high seas these efforts were unsuccessful. Captain Pen and his men saved nothing but their clothes.

OPPOSING LAWYERS

An Exciting Incident at Lorimer In-
 vestigation Yesterday.

Washington, August What prom ised for a few minutes to be a per- sonal encounter between Attorney FL bridge Hanecy, representing Senator Lorimer, and Attorney John J. Healy of counsel for the senate Lorimer com mittee, marked the close today of a long cross examination of H. J. O.. Beckemeyer, former state representa- tive, who says he received $1,000 aft CT voting for Lorimer for senator.
 The clash occurred when MT. Healy accused Mir Hanecy of having the very purpose of confusing the record and those who will read it.'' He was speaking of MT. Hanecy's questions regarding testimony Beckemeyer gave Saturday concerning his statement two years ago to officials on Cook county that he knew nothing of interest to the grand jury relative to corruption in the legislature.
 "If the gentleman means what he says I desire to brand it in the manner it deserves to be branded" shouted MT. Hanecy. jumping up and facing the committees attorney. MT. Healy declared he could not tell whether Mr. Hanecy was asking about Beckemey CTS testimony Saturday or about the truth contained in the statement about two years ago. Beckemeyer said he could not understand either.
 As result, Chairman Dillingham; conducted the examination on the point himself.
 Mir. Hanecy repeatedly required the witnes sto admit that he lied, but he remained firm in declaring he received money for voting for Lorimer.

CONGRESSMAN AROUSES
 A GIRLS FATHERS WRATH.
Expressed Hope of Introduction in Let
 ter to Young Woman.

Washington, Aug. 7.-To the activity of political enemies Representative A. w. Lafferty of Oregon ascribes the threatening attitude assumed by the father of young woman of this city. The representative admits having ad dressed letter to the young woman, to whom he had never been introduced, enclosing a card to the house galleries and expressing the hope that he might some time have an introduction if agreeable to her, but states that that was all the letter contained.
 MT. Lafferty says he received a call from the young woman's father, who is chief clerk in one of the governm enI services. The father. said MT. Lafferty, remarked that he was surprised to see that the representative was so youth full man. Apparently that had re- lieved his mind as he had imagined, said MT. Lafferty, that the letter had been written in bad faith.
 The visitor departed in good humor declared the representative, who has not seen him since. A letter came, however, threatening MT. I4afferty. It was written on paper manufactured in Oregon, according to the representa- tive, and for that reason he conside s it was inspired by political enemies.

SAYS ICE BUSINESS IS
 PROTEIN BUSiNESS.'
Vice President of Ice Trust Says It
 Doesn't Pay to Invest in 1t.

New York, Aug. 7.-Wesley M. Oler vice president of the Knickerbocker Ica company, took tho stand at today's session of the district attorneys inves- tigation of the so-called ice trust in New York and submitted figures to up hold his contention that prices were not advanced materially during the hot spell in July. Less than 90 tons, he testified, were sold during the two weeks at 8 a ton-an advance of 50 per cent. over tho customary $2-while the averag ge price throughout New. York with one exception was $1.93. The sales during those two weeks this year. said Mir. Oler. were double as compared with almost any other year. No com pany could have prepared for it. The consumption was unprecedented.
 MT. Oler added that his company had made but sS3S.200 profit during four years upon a paid-in capital of S4.500,- too. He offered to sell his companys ice cutting privileges in Maine to any one that wanted to buy.
 The ice business is a rotten business he added. It does not pay anyone to invest money in it. This year, up to June l. there was a loss of $7s00G Since July 1 we have made profit of 417. 900.

Taft Pleads
 For Treaties
SENATE CAN HALT THE MOVE.
 MENT FOR PEACE.
ASKS CHURCHES INFLUENCE
Makes 400 Mile Trip by Special Train to Address chautauqua in Maryland Pays Tribute to Roosevelt.

Mountain Lake Park, Md, Aug. 7.- President Taft travelled 400 miles through Maryland and West Virginia today by special train to appeal to the people of the United States to use their moral influence to have the sen ate ratify the arbitration treaties with England and France and the treaties with Nicaragua and Honduras. His appeal was made directly to the Noun tain Lake Chautauqua of the Methodist Episcopal church, but in it he included the rest of the nation.
 No Substance to Objections Raised.
 T observe" said the president, that there is some suggestion that by rai- flying this treaty the senate may in some way abdicate it's function of treaty making. I confess myself un able to perceive the substance in such point.
 Senate Can Halt the Movement.
 'tTo have these treaties not ratified by the senate of the United States, or to have any hesitation and discussion of serious character in respect to them, would halt the movement toward general peace which has made sub stantiaI advance in the last ten years. To secure the ratificati ton of the trea- ties, therefore, appeal must be made to the moral sense of the nation. and while that is not entirely in the keep ing of the churches, certainly they may exert a powerful influence in the pro- motion of any effective instrum entality to secure permanent peace"
 Central American Treaties.
 The president asked for the same sort of popular support of the trea- ties with Honduras and Nicaragua.
 There is no issue before the senate so acute in respect to the cause Of peace as the confirmation of these Gen. tral American treaties" said the presl- dent. While I admit the greater inn portance of universal treaties of arbi- tration, in the long run, and as affect ing the world at large, yet in respect of American interests, in respect Of peace in this hemisphere. they are not equal in importance to the confirma ties.'
 Praise for Roosevelt.
 Tn pleading for the Central American praised former President Roosevelt. He spoke of the tendency of the United States to help less powerful peoples and instanced MT. Roosevelt's inter vention in Cuba. That tendency was evidenced also, he said, "by the won derfulIy successful intervention by Theodore Roosevelt as president of the United States in securing peace be- tween Russia and Japan"
 Railroad Officials Help Run Train.
 The president left Washington at 3 o'clock with a carload of Baltimore and Ohio railroad officials who were to help run the special. He spent just an hour in Mountain Lake Park. leav- ing for Washington at o'clock. His audience was one of several thousand.

Mrs. Conrad and a dozen oth- CT women lay prostrate on the hoor while near them writhed a dozen oth- CTS, their shrieks of terror. precipi+ at ing n panic which cool headed men hardly yet comprehendfng the situa- ton, prevented.

 Broke Down When Told of WaIsh's
 Death.
 The police did not tell Brown, upon arresting him, that Walsh had died in his attmept. Instead, they tried to batter down his defense, and failing, one of them said, irrelevantly: Walsh died at 5 o'clock this morning..
 Brown gripped his chair. His breath came hard and his eyes started
 My God.' he gasped. T can't have a mans death on my soul" Then he told his story.
 Timmons Refused to Talk. Timmons was arrested near his home in Newark. He had been out until 5 o'clock this morning, his wife told the got up. They found him in a nearby saloon.
 T have nothing to say he told them, and he stuck to the phrase.
 No Confession from Timmons. Intermittently the detectives have been at him all the afternoon and night, seeking to elicit a confession, but to each he has given the same re- ply.
 The SdIe was lOuIQ intact, dltnOuSh the police at first thought that the doors had been blown from the hinges. There was no evidence of an explo- sion the firemen say, but that plenty of evidence shows that gasoline had been used libera1ly. The books, how ever, although soaked with the fluid, were only charred about the edges.
 The MansIauqhter Charge. Brown and Timmons will be arraign- ed tomorrow in the second criminal court. The charge of manslaughter grows out of the arson case, as under the New Jersey law arson resulting fatally is defined as manslaughter.
 WaIsh's Eyes Blown Out.
 When Walsh was found by the fire men, with his eyes blown out and his clothing all but burned from his body, he said he went into the office the door being open, to sleep. He was a cigarette, he said, and fell asleep, and he supposed the cigarette set the place afire. At the hospital he gave detectives his address in East Newark, and shortly afterwards Iapsed into insensibility. He recovered con- sciousness several hours later, and was told that he would die of his burns.
 Was Game to the Last.
 Now queried a detective, won't you tell us how it happened?'
 Walsh shook his head and straight ened on his cot. It was his last act.

4 TARIFF DEADLOCK
 BETWEEN TWO HOUSES
May Result in Adjournment of Con-
 gress Without Legislation.


 Washington, August 7.-Senator La Toilette and Chairman Underwood of the house ways and means commit tee. who have undertaken to reconcile the differences between the senate and house on the wool and the farmers fire list bills for the full conference com- mittee, are in an unquestioned dead lock, with the possibility of remaining so and thus forcing an adjournment of the session without final action on either of those measures.
 The situation Is due to MT. La Fol- 1ette's uncomprcmising attitude to- ward the house bill. He has told MT. Underwood that a reduction in the rates below those fixed by the bill as it passed the senate is an impos- sibility. In response, the chairman of the ways and means committee, who had great difficulty in getting the house to agree to the rates fixed in his bill, has said that the house will never accept the senate figures.

DEMOCRATS WIN IN THE
 CONGRESSIONAL BALL GAME.
"Niek" Longworth's Home Run the
 Redeeming G. o. p. Feature.

Washington, Aug. 7.-Democracy tri- umphed again today when republican congressman bit the dust-some. of them swallowed it-on the baseball diamond in the contest for the cham pionship of the house of representa- tives. Score, F to g. Charges may be preferred against the democratic umpire, Representative Byrnes, of South Carolina, who had rabbits foot in his pocket and, the republican ball players charge, a loaded half dol lar also.
 The game, played for chariyt, was really decided by the umpires. Will liam W. Wilson, republican. of Illinois, did all he could to stem the tide of his party's defeat. but in all close de- cisons when members of both parties crowded on the field and threatened riot, the only solution was for Byrnes and Wilson to resort to the toss of a coin. Byrnes had the coin and did the tossing. Byrnes won every time.
 MT. Longworth, shortstop for the republican team and it's captain, played like a field in the field and pounded out two two-baggers and home run.
 Reilly of Connecticut covered first base for the democrats and lasted one inning.
