CHICAGO, June 8.-Before another
avalanche Of his love letters in which
he referr ed to Mrs. Katherine e. Dean
in terms OF endearment, VIM. Rapp,
Jr., husband Of Nine. Ernestine Schu-
mann -Heinke and defendant in her
suit for divorce, capitulated today and
fed from ths court room.
Rapp's face turned deep crimson
when the reading OF the letters was
resumed today. He listened for q
few minutes while the crowd giggled
at darling wonder girl" and other
terms he used In conveying his affec-
tion to the "blonde lady" named as
and then stalked out
into the corridor. Later in the days
session his attorney attempted to get
him to return to the court room for
consultation but Rapp stuck to his
post in the hallway.
Another futile attempt to stop the
reading Of the dearest Nonnis" let
ters was made by Rapp's attorneys.
They argued that the reading o.
phrases describing Rapp's fiery love
for Mrs. Dean, before a big crowd OF
women aud young girls was contrary
to public morals. Judge Sullivan ruled
that their Importance in supporting
Mms. schumann-Heink's charges OF
misconduct, ontweighed the possibil-
ity that the divorce fans minds might
be poisoned.
Ten letters were read today. They
contained some Of the same phrases
Rapp used In the letters read Satur-
day with few variations. Instead OF
the Dearest Nonnie" salutation. Schu-
mann H nnke's husband sometimes
began with Darling Nonnie" or
Darling wonder woman" He COM
planned that he was lonely In Chicago
and needed the affection Of the New
York ''blonde lady"
The arrest Of N. Sato, an enterprfs-
ing Japanese photographer, was an in
cid =nt at the opening Of court. Sato
exploded fash light from near the
jud ge's bench just as proceedings
were started. He was sent to the
county Jail and was to be brought be-
fore Judge Sullivan this afternoon.
The reading of the letters was in
terrupted for a few minutes while
Mrs. Francis ]. Ashton, the private
detective who roomed at the Dean
apartment in New York told how
they came into her possession. Mrs.
Dean, she said, left an old trunk in
her room. She opened it and found
Rapp's letters carefully preserved and
wrapped in several old shirt waists.
In one of Rapp's letters already read
into the record he particularly eau
toned Mrs. Dean about destroying
his letters, but expressed the opinion
that it was impossible for any one to
"spot" him. BE brave, be faithful,
be patient and everything will come
out all right" was sentence in one
of Rapp's letters to Mrs. Dean.
Miss Ashton was cross examined
briefly by Rapp's attorneys. She held
to her stories that she had frequently
seen Rapp and Mrs. Dean hugging
and kissing in the New York love
bowr, but she admitted that to the
best of her knowledge Rapp and the
"blonde lady" had never occupied a
room together at night.

A TALK WITH
MIR. WILSON
President Tells Newspaper
Men lis Opinion Of the
Tolls Repeal
Bill.
'tBy John Edwin Nevin, United Press
Staff Correspondentl

QUILL
WASHINGTON, June S.-President
Wilson said fatty today that the Nor
ris amendment to the Panama canal
tolls repeal bill is unnecessary. At
the same time he declined to indf.
cate whether he would approve the
bill II passed as so amended. How.
ever, senate administration leaders
said they have little doubt that the
president will do 80 although he is
likely, they say, to file with his ap-
proval, memorandum setting forth
his own views on the matter.
At his conference with newspaper
men today, the president said the
Norris amendment has not been sub
mitted to him. The executive pointed
out that 1t Is impossible either to con-
fer or waive treaty rights by legisla.
ton OF this character and that In his
opinion tacking on declaration that
the United States reserves all Of its
rights under the treaty, although re-
pealing the free tolls provision ap-
plicable to American shipping, was
wholly an unnecessary procedure.
In the executives opinion. the
amendment does not raise the Ques-
ton OF whether the United States was
right or wrong in the original free
tolls legislation and he will not an
nounce his position until the bill final
ly comes to him for approval.
The president believes that the en-
tire conservative program Of the ad-
ministration will pass the house be-
fore adjournment. He admitted, how
ever, that there is little hope of the
bills getting before the senate. That
body, the president believes, will take
up only the trust and appropriation
bills, once the Panama tolls Ques-
ton is out OF the way. He does not
expect there will be any action taken
on Philippine independence until the
December session. Although Repre-
sentative Jones, chairman, Of the
house committee on insular affairs
has submitted bill to the president
dealing with the entire Philippine
question, it has not yet been ap-
proved and is not likely to be made a
part Of the administrations legisla-
tive program. Rather It is expected
that the administration will permit
the Philippine problem to be made a
non-partisan question.
The president Is still hopeful that
the Colorado strike troubles will be
settled by compromise between the
mine owners and workers. He said
today that he will retain the federal
troops in the strike zone for some
time at least.
The position Of the administration
is that it is awaiting Developments;
is hopeful that the better Judgment
of the factions will prevail and that
settlement satisfactory to both
sides will be forced by the business
men of the state who realize the dan
ger of the present conditions continu-
ing.
The nomination Of the federal re-
serve board will be sent to the SEN
ate probably Wednesday. The presi-
dent said today that he was very
hopeful that he could decide on the
governor-the one vacahacy still re-
maining-by tomorrow.
