GUN FOR Ia TOILETTE
FIRED BY PO|NDEXTER
Senator From Washington At
tackS Administration of
President Taft.

MINOT. N. D.. November 3O.-President
Taft's administration was attacked by
Senator Miles Poindexter of Washington
last night at the opening of the La Fol-
lette campaign in North Dakota.
Senator Poindexter accused President
Taft of repudiating his pledge to work
for tariff revision downward through
his advocacy Of the Payne-Aldrich tariff
bill. of aiding and abetting the Alaskan
syndicate in the exploitation Of the re-
sources of Alaska, of attempting to read
progressive republican leaders out of the
party, of Furnishing progressive senators
and representatives through withholding
patronage, and of being unduly solicit
tous Of the welfare of trusts and combi-
nations of capital.
Senator POindeXter said that he had
been punished personally by the Presi-
dent for advocating progressive legisla-
ton.
The recall of Minister Crane from
China. the peace treaties with Central
American republics and the Ballinger IN
cident were condemned as unprogressive
He made strong plea for the nomina-
ton of Senator La Toilette. whom he
characterized as one of the worlds great
est progressive statesmen. He urged the
voters of North Dakota the first state
to express popular choice for President
of the United States, to support the Wis
consin senator.

|MPROWSED METHODS
CAUSE LARGE SAVING
Economies Effected by Bureau
of Steam Engineering
:. -.
in Navy.

With an appropriation reduced by
$4O0.O0 the bureau of steam engineering
of the Navy Department during the past
two years has been maintaining a navy
larger by 10 per cent than it was during
the proceeding two years. This was made
possible by economies resulting from i'm
provement in business methods, said Sec
retary Meyer in a statement made public
today
A reduction of 10 cents pound in the
cost of powder is reported by the ord
nance bureau, Il million pounds having
been made during the past year at a
cost of 1876 cents a pound: purchasing
hemp at Manila resulted in a saving of
$40 a ton. an annual saving of approxi-
mately 10000; by docking vessels at
navy yards the department saved $4,000
during the past fiscal year, reduction of
20 per cent and the use of substitutes
for linseed oil netted a saving of about
$40 900.
BY manufacturing certain classes of
goods at navy yards in which they can
be produced cheapest, large savings have
resulted. Particularly is this true of
standard mess tables, the cost of which
has been reduced from $40 to $11.A at
one navy yard.
Capitalization Of designing and con-
and docks has proven economical, and
by an adoption of the plan of unit prices
on various articles for rations the esti-
mates for provisions for the Marine
Corps have been reduced by $4,000 for
the next fiscal year.

OYSTERS AND FISH PLENTY,
Prices for Both Lower Along the
18th Street Wharf.

The supply of oysters in the shell at
the 18th street wharf market is good.
and has been so since early in the week.
Those who wanted oysters to make a
part Of their Thanksgiving menu had
no difficulty in getting supply of any
grade. and at a low figure. This morn
ing there were a dozen vessels lying
at the 11th street wharf with the BIZ
valves aboard, and it was estimated
that in all there were over 5000 bushels
on sale, with vessels laden with the
bivalves coming in every day. The
Thanksgiving demand yesterday and this
morning was excellent, and the oysters
sold at prices ranging from ~ cents to
20 cents per bushel, according to the
quality wanted. 1t is stated that most
of the oysters now coming from the
Potomac beds are of better quality than
they have been In a number Of years,
and compare .favorably. except in size.
with the choice stock from eastern
shore or Chesapeake bay points.
While the demand for oysters has
been good, that for fresh fish is very
poor, and the market. both yesterday
and today. was dull. in spite of the
fact that choice fish were in the supply
received from the coast fisheries, and
prices are ranging low.

SMALL INVESTOR HURT,
JUDGE GARY DECLARES
Rich Men Not the Only Suffer-
ers, Says Head of Steel
Corporation.

Judge Gilbert H. Gary, executive head Of
the United States Steel Corporation, closed
his testimony before the Senate inter-
state commerce committee yesterday aft
ernoon with an earnest appeal for fair
play for the business interests of the
country.
Equal treatment is all that We ask, "
he said, dramatically. "There has never
been time when l have not said, Show
us where We are wrong and we will get
right There is too much presidential
politics in the country. One of the great
est causes of unrest today is the fact that
Small Investor Suffers.
The small investor had suffered greatly
from the recent agitation against big cor
porations, Judge Gary said. He told the
committee that the United States Steel
Corporation alone had 10000 individual
stockholders and that the same was rela-
lively true of other big combinations of
capital. Consequently. the men who per-
sisted in attacking big business, TN the
belief that they were after merely the
very rich men prominent in their control,
were entirely wrong. They were really
doing harm to the small holder.
Judge Gary reiterated his statement
made at the morning session Of the COM
mittee that the time had come when cor
pOratiOnS must be curbed to prevent a
misuse of their power and that a govern
ment commission should be created for
this purpose.

DR.. CANS MAKES REQUEST

An effort is being made by the pro-
motors of the German transatlantic bal
loon flight to enlist the cooperation of
the American government in the enter
prise. DR.. Paul Cans. one Of the man.
ayers of the flight Of the Souchard, is in
Washington. He called yesterday on
President Taft and Secretary Meyer in
the enGeavor to have them send warships
eastward to meet the Souchard in mid
Atlantic. The start of the German diri-
gible is to be made from the Canary
Islands early in March. and the idea is
to have her met about the middle of
the Atlantic by warships and escorted to
the American coast.
DIR. Cans arrived in Washington during
the forenoon and went at once to the
White House. and later to the Navy De-
partment. He is confident of the success
of the trip. and will command the crew
OF six that makes up the complement Of
the balloon force.
OF Non-Rigid Type
The souchard is a non-rigid dirigible of
the Parsevaal type, $50 feet long and 81
feet in greatest diameter. She carries
two engines of the type used in the Par
and weighs $50 pounds. They have been
run in shop test for thirty hours.
1t Is expected that with favorable winds
the trip can be made in four or five days.
The balloon bag is coated with q special
preparation that absorbs water from the
atmosphere to counterfeit the effect of the
suns rays. She will use sea water for
ballast. descending to pump it In and dis
charging it when required. There will
be gallery for sleeping quarters under
the bag Of the balloon, and below that
will be suspended power boat that can
be cut loose and used in case Of accident
The motors drive two two-bladed propel-
lers of the Parsevaal type and make only
400 revolutions.
The power boat is intended as the
main living quarters of the balloon. The
dirigible carries an ordinary compass

one at a time and used as points by
which to steer, it being impossible to
allow for the leeway of a dirigible or

ternately fourteen hours day and to
drift with the trade winds at night. The
present plan is to make the trip at a
height of from 500 to 600 feet. The
dirigible will be steered by an ordinary
vertical rudder and will have large fms
like ailerons for rising and descending
and for balancing.
The balloon was finished last fall, and
Il was intended to attempt the trip be-
fore winter. but there were some altera-
tions to be made. and this delayed the
start so it was planned to leave the
Canary Islands in March.

as she was preparing to quit the jail.
Mrs. Patterson could not control her joy
as the verdict freeing her was read, and
she leaped to her feet and grasped the
hand of her attorney, thanking him and
weeping. Spectators rushed to her side
and offered congratulations. keeping her
within circle of eager, excited sympa-
thizers SO long that her efforts to reach
the jury box and thank the members were
in vain.
Mrs Patterson walked from the court
torney.
Struggles Through Cheering Crowd.
The space between the two places was
packed with the cheering crowd. The

.FAvORS GIVING DIVORCE
TO NOVELIST SINCLAIR
Referee Refuses to Hold That
He Should Have Protected
Wife From Others.

NEW YORK, November 30.-The report
I of Referee William S. Kelley, recon-
mending decree Of divorce for Upton
Sinclair, the novelist, from Meta II. Full
er Sinclair, was filed yesterday i'm the
supreme court. Referee Kelley found
| Mrs. Sinclair guilty of misconduct at
Arden. Del. and Seagirt and Long
Branch, N j., in. August last with Harry
III. Kemp. known as the hobo poet"
| After the testimony before Referee KEEL
ley was all in, II. B. Philbrook, attorney
for Mrs. Sinclair. moved for a recon-
mendation that the complaint be dismiss
ed on the ground that Sinclair Lad
knowledge of his Wife's tendency to dere-
Lotions, and that it was his duty to pro
tect her against the repetition of her al
legged offenses, not only against outsiders,
but against her own weakness" Ref
cree Kelley denied this motion, with this
comment:
while it is true that the husband is
! regarded as the protector of his wife, l
hardly think that the most ardent advo-
cate on the female side would insist that
a husband devote his whole time to the
protection Of his wife, not only from out
| side assaults, but from her own inclina-
tons.
The only weapon he is permitted to
, use in this enlightened age is moral
suasion. a weapon of bat little effect in
these days of barOmetric depression in
| the marital ether, occasioned by these
so-called affinity storms
The record of the testimony shows fire.

Divorce Agreement Denied.
Sinclair was witness. while his wife
did not appear. Sinclair said he was mar
ried to her in 1900. On cross-examina-
| ton. Attorney Philbrook asked Sinclair
nit an agreement with his wife to pro-
| cure divorce. Sinclair emphatically de-
MED the insinuations.
On one occasion, Sinclair said, his wife
I had confessed to him that she had been
unfaithful. Sinclair said the man in the
case was not Kemp. When his suspicious
were aroused about his wife and Kemp,
| he said, he ceased his relations with her.
| He had known Kemp for three years. AT
| first, Sinclair said, he protested both to
| his wife and to Kemp against doing any
| thing which would make scandal. Both
| told him that their relations were inno-
| cent and Kemp gave him his word OF
| honor that he would cease all suspicious
conduct.
! Attorney Philbrook questioned Sinclair
/ sharply about his feeling toward Kemp
| Sinclair said he had made no outburst al
Arden because he had accepted Kemp's
| word that his relations with Mrs. Sinclair
were innocent. After his wife left him
| he saw Kemp for the first time at the
| Hotel Imperial in New York. Attorney
| Philbrook asked him IL he We're angry or
