Lady Duff Gordon in Court With
Attorneys and Enter Denial = Ae'
:uss Witness Of Asking For Reward.

London, May 17.-Lord Merry, the
mission, his five assessors and an ar
ray Of Great Rritain's most brilliant
attorneys. with an audience of fash
ionably dressed women looking on,
spent greater part of the day during
the sitting Of the court OF inquiry into
the Titanic disaster, probing the state
ment of Charles Hendrickson, one of
the surviving firemen. Hendrickson
had said Sir Cosmo and Lady Duff
Gordon. who were two of the five pas
sengers in partly filled life boat, had
protested against returning to the scene
Of the disaster to rescue some of those
struggling in the water.
After sparring between counsel and
the judge as to the order in which the
evidence should be taken it was dectd-
ed to let the members of the crew who
were in the boat tell their story first
while the testimony of Sir Cosmo and
Lady Duff-Gordon would be taken lat
er. Sir Cosmo and Lady Duff Gordon
were both in court with their legal ad-
viSors.
Hendrickson was called to the stand.
Sir Robert F'inlay was not present and
his colleagues put only a few import
ant questions.
Sticks to His Story.
The witness was then taken in hand
by Henry E. Duke, NJ. P. counsel for
the Duff Gordons. Hendrickson stuck
to his evidence and altho he could not
specify when he first made the state
ment discrediting the Duff-Gordons,
Sir Rufus Isaacs, the attorney general.
was able to prompt him from deposit
tions taken at the time Of the arrival
of the crew in England, in which the
witness had said Passengers had
protested againsts the boats going
back
Mr.. Dukes questions indicated the
case for the Duff Gordons would be an
absolute denial of the story and that
they would support this with the evil
dence Of the other members Of the
crew who were in the life boat.
Mr.. Duke suggested that Lady Duff
Gordon refused to go into the boat
without her husband. and that after
the boat was lowered was SO seasick
she was unable to protest.
Hendrickson admitted she was Ill
but said she was able to converse
with her husband.
Mr.. Duke also suggested that Hen
dickson was the first to hint at a re-
ward for the crew of the boat, and
produced document in Hendrickson's
handwriting giving the names of the
crew which he had handed to Duff
Gordon to enable him to make out
checks to the value Of $25 for each Of
them.

Iowa Supreme Court Knocks Out Old
Statute, Since Made Effective.
Special to Times Republican.
Des Moines, May 1.-THE supreme
court today knocked out completely the
old Iowa statute as to labelling boiied
linseed oil. The law forbids the sale
unless the oil answers the chemical
test in the United States pharmaco-
poeia, but the court finds that In the
last edition of that work no test OF any
kind Is prescribed for boiled linseed
oil. Hence 1t is held that the law ap-
plies only to raw linseed oil. and the
requirement as to boiling It first Is OF
no force. The statute has since been
