RIDICULES
PENROSE'S FAILURE
TO MEET INDICTMENT
Shows the Weakness of SEN
ator's Attempted Answer
to Charges Affecting His
Public Record.

CORRY, Pa, Sept. 25.--Congressman \.
Mitchell Palmer, candidate for the
United states Senate, stopped here just
long enough this morning to ridicule the
weak reply made by Senator Penrose to
the indictment against his public record
in Washington which Mr.. Palmer has
been placing before the voters through
out the State.
Mr.. Palmer said he had read the re-
pIy from Penrose in the newspapers, and
It was evident that the answer was well
coined, for throughout his entire speech
he held it up to ridicule, exposed its
weakness and pointed to its failure to
reply to a single one of the charges made
against Penroseism.
with the Democratic campaign party,
Mr.. Palmer arrived here from Sayre,
where he spoke last night. Today he
will visit nearly all the small towns In
Susauehanna County, ending at Montrose
tonight, where he will address political
rally and mass-meeting.
At Sayre last night Mr.. Palmer fired
a long list of questions at Penrose, ask
ing him to explain his vote as 1t stands
recorded in Washington against measures
designed for public good. Especially
severe was his denuncation of Penrose
for the resolution which he introduced
in the Senate pressing for war with
Mexico.

Council and will have the men appointed
and on duty before tho resolution IS acted
upon Some Councilmcn arc unwilling to
vote for increase in the pay of the police
force because. they say, the force was in

WIFE IN COLLUSION,
SAYS DITSON, TO GET
DIVORCE EVIDENCE
Wealthy Clubman's Answer
Disregarded by Court,
Who Awards Alimony
and Counsel Fees.

NEW YORK, Sept. 25.-Under ruling
handed down by Justice Jaycox' OF tne
Supreme Court, in Brooklyn, Mrs. Esther
Ditson, of Cedarhurst. L. l., vile OF
James Ditson, q wealthy clubman Oh
New York and Washington, has been
granted $3.50 a month alimony and $1,000
counsel fees pending final settlement OF
her divorce suit. The order was granted
despite Ditson's affidavit alleging that 1t
was arranged between him and his wife
that he would enter a hotel with woman
and give evidence upon which to base
divorce suit.
Diston spends much Of his time in ex-
elusive social circles in Washington and
is frequent visitor to Philadelphia He
Is a member of the Chevy Chase and

huSDanO Wnen lncy were liNiiS III w aSii-
inSton.
Diston's affidavit, admitting collusion
with the alleged knowledge and consent
of Mrs. Dlston, came Unexpectedly in
answer to her divorce suit. In his affi-
davit he said it was arranged between
himself and his wife that he would pro-
vide the necessary evidence.
He says that when Mrs. Ditsons de-
tectives entered the room in York hotel
here one evening last May and found him
with woman even the detectives were
ignorant of the plot known only to him
self and wife. So secret did he keep the
facts in the case, Dtson swears, that he
did not inform his lawyer, Gilbert Il. Roe,
and permitted him to put in an unverltied
answer denying Mrs. Ditson's charges.
Roe told Justice Jaycox that he was
unable to say whether or not collusion
would be used as a defense in the suit.
Roe added he had advised Dltson OF his
intention to withdraw from the case.
Counsel for Mrs. Ditson asked permis-
sion to file an affidavit denying there had
been colusion.
