Tuesday afternoon, after all efforts to
secure bail here had failed. These
facts were iafd before Judge AngeII

Judge signed an order for the removal

FOR CLEAN ADVERTISING

"fhe ethics of advertising must be

Clement, OF Toledo. told large gatn-
ering OF members OF the Adcraft club,
Thursday evening. "The ethics OF this
country must not be determined by
the standard OF the fnancier, nor by
the foreign element, but by the great
common people, the merchants OF our
small towns. In Germany, the ethics
are high. and fraudulent advertising is
forbidden by law. Not only do they
make their goods good In that eern-
try, but they make their word good

That the price OF the common kind
Of bathtub and enameled ware, gen.
orally, Increased from 10 to 20 per
ent after June 6, 1910, when the
agreement OF the so-called bathtub
rust went into effect, was testified TO
oy three witnesses, during the trial
of members of the trust, refore Judge
Angel in the United States district
court, Friday morning.
The witnesses were r. j. Morgan,
ldence, II. l.; Z. e. Half, general
manager of the #. N. Dubois Plumb
ing Supply Co., New York, and j. L.
Sullwold, jobber, OF st. Paul, MINI.
Mr.. Morgan. said that he had been In
business for IL years; that he had 70
ceived a price list from Edwin L..
Wayman, commissioner OF the bath
tub manufacturers, asking him to sign
II, thus taking him into the combina.
tion of manufacturers and tobbers,
but he said that he declined TO be-
come a party to II. After he bought
goods from members of the trust,
the latter had shipped them to him
and to different states where the
goods were to be used, he said.
The defense objected to the testi-
mony, arguing that the witness should
be allowed to give testimony only on
articles which were mentioned In the
indictment, bathtubs in particular.
The question was debated at some
length, with the result that the court
ruled that the prosecution should con-
fine it's questioning to articles men-
toned in the indictment.
Mr.. Morgan developed poor menf
ory under cross-examination. He was
unable to tell Mr.. Honeyman, for the
defense, what he had paid for bath
tubs prior to June 6, 1910, except that
the unguaranteed five-foot common
tub cost $3.50 This article, he add
ed. cost Sill so after the resale price
went into effect, June 6, 1910.
Mr.. Honeyman lost patience with
the witness and demanded:
Nov, witness, don't you know ary-
thing about this question:"
The inquiry brought protest from
the prosecution, AMI the court sus-
tanned the objection.
Mr.. Honeyman asked few moro
questions, but without result.
Mr.. Half, the next witness, said that

10000 tubs a year, and had patron
lied a number of the defendants.
Many of their purchases We're shipped
from the factories to customers in
different states, he said. His hrm
didn't join the trust" After June
6. 1910. he bought no goods from the
trust"
There was another tilt on the ad-
mission of letters written TO Han by
various defendant firms and by Way
man. The witness identified sheaf
of letters, but in accordance with his
previous ruling, Judge Angel refused
to permit them to go to the jury.
District Attorney Tuttle argued
that the question of admission of the
Haff letters did not come under the
former ruling.

.AINSWORTH'S DISMISSAL
HAS STIRRED ARMY CIRCLES
Army Feuds May Be Revealed in
Trial of Officer Accused
of Disrespect

WASHINGTON, Feb. 16.-Selection
OF s court to try Adjutant-General
Ainsworth, relieved from office and
ordered court-martialed, for insubor-
dination and disrespect TO his super
iors, Will prove the most difficult in
the history of the army since the
CivL war. The trial Will eclipse the
only big trial of recent years the
court-martial of Commissary-Gene
Egan for his remarks about Gen.
Miles, because of the widely divergent
issues involved. Coming as 1t does
on the very heels of the Major Ray
scandal, 1t has stirred official Wash.
ington TO its very center.
Under the regulations, Ainsworth,
a stan officer, must be tried by jury
Of superior officers. Practically every
officer available for such trial Is OF
the line.
The fact that Ainsworth, of the
staff. has lopg been the pivotal point
of bitter feud with the line officers,
1t was pointed out here today, will
make Judge-Advocate General Crowd
er's task OF selecting an unprejudiced
court, difficult.
Besides Ainsworth and Leonard
Wood-one the accused, and the other
the accuser-the only major-generals
now on the active list OF the army
are f. ID. Grant, j. F. Bell, T.. II. Bar
ry, w. II. Carter, and Arthur Muir

II, as has been suggested, retired
army officers are called to serve on
the court, Lieut.. Generals Bates, Chat
fee. Macarthur, Miles and Young all
are eligible, while II major-generals
may be called on. OF these major
generals, only one-third belong to the
staff. and, as the court-martial will
be made UP as far as possible from
the active list, ii was thought prob
able today that Gen. Ainsworth would
have to go up against court the ma
jority of whom are opposed to the
staff on general principles.
II was also pointed out that Aims
worth, should he be punished by the
court, will have no recourse at the
hands of congress. Only the presi
dent, as commander-in-chief OF the
army, will havt the power to ~helI

will stand behind Secretary Stimson

were sweethearts, but she found out
his secret-that he is morphine
fiend-and broke everything 81. He
says he respects and honors Der. and
feels that his arrest on her complaint
was unwarranted.
