BATHTUB CASES TO
BE RESUMED MONDAY

At the conclusion of Friday after
Moons session of the trial Of members
of the bathtub trust. charged with
conspiracy In restraint OF trade, an
adjournment was taken until Mon
day morning. at $3.50 o'clock Only
two witnesses were heard for the de-
Tense during the afternoon. They
were John s. lobe. superintendent of
the National Sanitary Manufacturing
Co, OF Salem, o., and George j.
Blackburn, superintendent OF the Nc
Crum- Howell Co.. of Unlontown, Pa.
Both testified as to the merits OF the
Arrott automatic dredger, saying Il
enabled the manufacturers TO almost
double their product, and make their
articles at lower cost than when
the hand dredgers were used. The
prosecution, in cross-examination.
took advantage of the statement that
the cost OF production was reduced
with the improved methods, and con-
tended that the price OF enameled
ironware to the public ought to have
dropped rather than increased.
Testimony adduced- the govern
ment, earlier In the trial, showed that
the cost OF bathtubs went up after
the license agreements signed by the
manufacturers went into effect In
June. 1910.

TAFT DOESN'T OPPOSE
PRESIDENTIAL PRIMARY

GRAND RAPIDS, Mich. March a.
That President Taft is not opposed
to the presidential preference primary
bill now before the legislature, anc
will do nothing to oppose it, is the
statement OF G. j. Diekema, in a let
ter written to Charles A. Nichols, OF
Detroit, chairman OF the Michigan
Roosevelt organization.
He says in part: President Taft
has the greatest confidence in the
loyalty of the Republicans of our state
both to him and to the fundamental
principles of our party; and---wants
them to settle for themselves, without
any interference or attempt to dictate
on his part, the manner OF selecting
delegates TO the national convention.
Whatever methods they may adopt
whether a direct primary or con-
vention, will be entirely agreeable to
him, so long as it pleases the people
OF the state"

ROOSEVELT AND WILSON
LEAD IN NATIONAL POLL
CONTINUED from Page One.)

poll was confined largely to Missouri,
Kansas and Nebraska.
This nationwide poll confirms the
Star poll in these states, but does
not find the same ratio in all parts OF
the country.
The progressive sentiment in both
the old parties is indicated by the
combined vote cast for candidates be-
lieved TO be Wilson, La
Toilette, Roosevelt, Cummins, Bever'
idge, Folk, Foss, Marshall-as against
Taft, Harmon, Underwood, Hughes,
Knox and Harrison and even counting
the Clark strength as more conserva-
tive than progressive. The total vote
for progressive Republican candidates
was 1921, progressive Democratic
candidates 1896; conservative Re-
publican 17,451, conservative Demo
crat 11,914-or total progressive vote
54,227, and total conservative 1886.
The poll also indicates that progress
sive spirit is more active among the
Republican voters than the Demo
Gratis.
One of the remarkable things shown
by the poll and which could not be
tabulated was the widespread disre-
gard of party lines. Thousands or
votes were cast where the first, sec
ond and third choice would read
taft. Harmon, Hughes or Hal
mon, Taft, Clark" or 'LaFollet.e,
Wilson, Roosevelt" or Roosevelt,
Wilson, LaFollette," or Wilson,
Roosevelt, Cummins.
The returns from the south are par
ticularly encouraging for Wilson. IN
every state but two he led the field.
His total first choices from 13 south
ern states was 4.510 against Har-
mons 1,942, Clark's 1902, and Under
woods 1882, while Bryan's total In
these states was 1879.
The showing of Roosevelt, Taft and
LaFollette in the pivot states d
Maine, Massachusetts, New York,
Ohio, Indiana, Maryland, Kentucky.
Missouri, wisconsin. Nebraska and
Colorado is as follows, first choices
being: Roosevelt, S,734; Taft, 5,34z;
LaFollette, 2,S61.
In this group Wilson received l,90l
votes TO Harmon's 1,4S4. Clarks l.
$40, Bryans 1,495, and Underwoous
376.
In New York, Taft ran ahead CT
Roosevelt. 1889 to SCI, and Harmon
ran ahead of Wilson.
In Ohio, the presidents hume state,
Roosevelt beat Taft 1,176 to 9O2.
In spite of LaFollette's illness. his
friends cling to him.

RACE TRACKS TRACKS G GOT HUBBFfSS
MONEY, SAYS MRS. CADIEUX
Plunged Hard on the Ponies, She
Tells Court-Doctor Blames
Mother=in=Eaw

An alleged meddlesome mother-in-
law is DR.. Henry w. Cadieux's ex-
PLANTATION OF his marital troubles. The
doctor is being sued for divorce by
his attractive wife. Emilia King
Cadieux. The couple lived with Mrs.
Cadieux's parents for seven years.
and hardly Il misunderstanding arose.
II was stated in which the name OF
Mrs. King did not figure. Mrs.
Cadieux was closely cross-examined,
Friday afternoon. by Attorney Edward
Devine as TO certain statements she Is
alleged to have made abous her par
ents. Some OF them she denied. and
at other times she said she could not
remember.
Wasn't all the trouble caused by
your parents?" she was asked.
We'll, the doctor didn't come into
the home properly; he didn't treat
my parents with respect" she replied
She was also asked II she had not
said that her father was nonentity
and that her mother bossed every
thing, IL she had not said that her
mother was a devil, terror and the
limit, and TO all these questions she
said she had no recollection OF making
such statements.
Mrs. Cadieux, usually quite self-pos-
sessed. gave way TO tears as she told
how her husbands gambling on the
race track had left her penniless
many times. She testified that she
had been forced to scrub and wash,
because she could not AFFORD a maid.
She did her own marketing also to
save a few pennies, going to the east
ern market with two suitcases TO buy
the weeks supply.
Mrs. Cadieux testified that while
she was washing and scrubbing to
save expenses her husband was losing
as high $1,000 in an afternoon at
the race track. He won $500 at the
State Fair, she testified. and was so
elated that he proposed a trip to
New York. They boarded a train, but
got no further than Kalamazoo, where
:, races were in progress. Mrs.
Cadiuex said she accompanied her
husband to the races there for the
first time, and saw him lose $500. All
through the winter she said he would
get kilograms telling him to play the
limit on certain horses.

SAFE BLOWERS SCARED
AWAY; GET NO BOOTY

Two men forced an entrance into
the Office of the Detroit Provision Co.,
sausage manufacturers, Nos. 1910
1912 Mack-ave., early Saturday morn
ing, but, got nothing for their trouble.
They blew of the door OF the safe
with charge OF nitro-glycerin, but
the explosion made so much noise
and they had to beat hasty retreat,
not taking time to inspect the In
terror of the strong box.
Turner Stanton, who lives across
the road from the factory, came TO a
window just in time to see the pair
leaving the Office. He commanded
them to halt. and when they failed 10
do so, he fired five shots from his re-
volver. None OF the bullets struck the
fugitives, and they kept on running
They ran down the alley between
Baldwin and Beals-aves., passing a
lighting commission wagon and work
ing crew on the way. The crew didn't
know of. the Swallowing and did rot
interfere with the men. A police
man later jumped into the wagon and
pursued the pair, but failed to over
take them.
Detective John Sterling. of the Nc
Lellan-ave. station, and members of
the flying squadron, inspected the Of
fice, but failed TO find any clue which
would disclose the identity OF the
burglars. They decided however,
that the work was that OF amateurs,
the blowing off of the safe door be-
ing clumsily done.
Frank Rosenbaum, secretary-treGs-
urer and general manager Of the COM
pany, told The Times that the dam
age to the safe would amount to about
500. Nothing was stolen, he said.

(News correspondent.

Trenton. Mar. 1.-The fact that
Ithis Legislature Is making a record
lin Its progress Is shown by the COM
paratively large number OF bills
| which have already become laws.
The lawmakers have pushed their
work to such an extent that Gov
lernor Wilson has already been en-
tabled to approve twenty-five bills
land two joint resolutions. Last
Iyear at the end OF February only
1.-TWO bills had been signed by the
IGovernor.
The improvement this year Is due
Ito the businesslike methods that
have prevailed throughout the ses-
sion, and another feature in aiding
!drnfttng Of most Of the big bills be-
fore the session opened. and their
early introduction by the Republf-
cans. In addition the methods that
have prevailed have assisted In the
rapid disposal of measures. Both
houses have met promptly On time
at nearly every session. which is a
great improvement or the dilatori-
ness for former years.
Both President Prince and Speak
err McCran have not only insisted on
prompt meetings brit also on keep
Ing business moving, with the result
that the state has had the most
businesslike session on record. An
other feature of this session has
been the large number OF hearings
on bills pending and the thorough
ness with which the measures have
been discussed. An old time poli-
