Widow Hoped to Land Old Dear
Didn't; Now Suing Him for $500,00O

Washington, April IA letter
written by Mrs. Ida NJ. AIcNabb, II
days after she met John S. Kinney,
reputed millionaire Michigan mine
owner, from whom she seeks 100000
damages for alleged breach of con.
tract to marry, has been the most
interesting bit of testimony yet intro
duced at the trial, now in progress
here. The letter was read by the de-
PENDANTS woman lawyer, Miss Harriet
Freebey, during cross-examination OF
the plaintiff.
Mrs. McNabb admitted writing the
letter to Mrs. Ida Leidfeldt, who was
acting as her housekeeper. Some OF
the statements she was unable to ex-
plain and contented herself by call
ing them pleasantries.
Il am bringing the rich old man
home with me-" and 81 think l will
land the old DEAR" were two excerpts
from the letter, concerning which the
lawyer made inquiries. Miss Freebey
pressed the witness for an explanation
Of the concluding statement in the
letter. There is one thing about me
he doesn't like. He says | am too
young"
The lawyer, inquired if the state
ment did not rather indicate that Mr..
Kinney was receiving the proposal OF
marriage than that he was making it?
When the witness declared it did not
seem so to her the lawyer passed to
another line of inquiry.
The letter as read by counsel for
the defense to the jury is as follows:
Dear Ida: Your good letters re-
ceived, also the girls, but | haven't
time to write to them today, and as
l will be at home Saturday night |
won't write till come. You are a
hustler. l am so anxious to see the
kitchen. You must have had ter
rible time. Well there is always some
thing hard to all of u.s. And maybe |
am up against mine now. ! am brlng-
ing the rich old man home with me.
He will spend Sunday with me and

big dinner. Have roast, ~strawber-
ries and cream and get nice cucum-
ber for the potato salad for supper
and have nice fresh bread and any
thing else you want. r.

HERMAN RIDDER, GERMAN

Declares the United States Could
End the War in Two
Months.

Chicago, April 15.-Germany is
ready to stop the war and go back to
the conditions OF August /, according
to B. Herman Ridder, of the New
York Staats-Zeitqng, son OF the editor
Of that paper. Mr.. Ridder spoke last
night at Orchestra hall. When he fin.
ished his talks he said he would an.
swer questions.
One man in the audience put the
question::
:'On what terms would Germany
stop the war?'
Halt HostiIties.
81 think Germany would halt hos.
tilities right nov and retire to the
conditions existing on August H. said
Mr.. Ridder. -.,.. t..
There were shouts of mo. no." from
the audience.
Germany does not want internal
problems, such as Belgium and Po.
land" he continued. "She is fighting
for her independence and her union
and she is not attempting to win the
four corners of the earth. as London
would have people believe.
ut is my opinion that Germany has
no desire for territory except her
own. What earthly use would Bel
gium be to Germany" several people
shouted: "A whole lot
Fl, Accomplish ono Thing. i
'sIf the war stops now" said Mr.
Ridder, Germany will have accom-
plished one thing, and that is that she
will have convinced the world that a
policy of aggression against her does
not pay. Her armies are strong be-
yond the fondest dreams of us Ger
man.Americans."
The first question asked when the
discussion was thrown open was:
''HOw many millions graft money
did Wilson and Bryan get from Eng
!and?"
"That question shouldn't be answer
ed shouted another man. And il
was not.
Food Supply. .
Chow long will the food supply In
Germany last?" was another question
"There is committee of seventeen
scientists" replied Mr.. Ridder. (which
has taken an inventory Of all the food
in Germany. That committee has said
that there is enough food in Germany
to last until January 1916, without re-
gard to the present crop, and Ger
many has planted enough grain to
supply her people"
The final question put was: ~, a.
"lf Germany takes possession OF
England, will she give England home
rule?'
In his talk before the discussion Mr..
Pidder said:
"The United States could end this
war lin two months by threatening to
place an embargo on all munitions OF
war unless the contending nations
Joined in peace conference, but that
would require little constructive
craftsmanship in Washington, which
is asking good deal. The United
States is making the arms and ammu'
milton for Great Britain and Great
Britain is getting the trade"

All Efforts to Secure Cheap Trans

to Naught.

Circular No. 1, carrying the news Of
the abandonment of all plans for the
participation of the First Infantry, N.
d. N. g., in the exercises and encamp-
ment to be held at the Panama Pacific
exposition during the coming summer,
has just been issued from the adjutant
generals office and is being sent to
all Of the companies Of the North Da.
kota National Guard.
The circular reads as follows:
with reference to the participa-
tion of the First Inf, n. D. N. D., in
the exercises and encampment to be
held at the Panama Exposition. San
Francisco, Cal, the following, compil.
ed from correspondence with the War
Dept, the Commander in Chief Of the
National Guard OF the State. the Com.
manding Officer of the 1st Inf, N. D.
N. G., and others. is published for the
information of all concerned
2-After. interviews with Mr.. Han
naford, the President OF the N. P. Ry.
Co., and with Mr.. Cleland, Gen. P. A.
for the same Company. a tariff was
agreed upon whereby they would fur
nish round trip tickets TO and from
the west coast. at $42.3S for Officers
and. $35.9S for enlisted men. Also
that they would furnish Standard
Sleepers for the Officers at the regu-
lar rates and Tourist Sleepers for the
enlisted men at $500 per day for
each IA section Sleeper.
3--This having been satisfactorily
arranged, the next step was to at
tempt to secure rate from the South
ern Pacific Ry. Co. for transportation
over their lines from Portland to San
Francisco and return. They refused
to make any other rates than the one
they made to the public. and all argu.
ments and inducements submitted
failed to move them from their deci-
sion.
4-The n. p. Ry Co. then conceded
$25.00 round trip rate and an at
tempt was made to charter a steamer
for the haul from Astoria to San Fran.
cisco and return. estigatiOn re-.
vealed the fact that, under the III.
usual conditions existing, only one Of
a sufficient size was available and that
this one had no license for carrying
passengers. Therefore, this was aban'
dOned. v.
5-lt was then requested, through
the Hon. l.. B. Hanna, Governor, and
the Hon. John Burke, that the War
Dept. furnish an Army Transport for
this part of the trip. This, for various
reasons, the War Dept. refused.
6-The failure to secure Steamer
or Army transport, and the high cost
of the Southern Pacific Arbitrary
makes the carrying out of the project
impracticable, as it could not be at
tempted with the funds that would be
available. ...
I'm conclusion ! wish to thank, in
behalf of the Commander in Chief Of
the National Guard of the State, the
Commanding Officer of the 1st 1nf.,
and all other members Of the National
Guard of the State, the officials Of the
Northern Pacific Ry. Co. for their
good will and hearty support of the
project, for their liberal concessions,
and for, their cooperation in trying to
secure conditions that would be favor
able for the continuance OF the trip
beyond their lines.
