WALSH AND FLETCHER ANSWER
ATTACKS ON SHIP BILL.

Acquire Merchant Vessels Co Car
~ ON Commerce..

Washington. Jan. 2S.-Democrats
OF the senate today began returning
the fire OF Republicans attacking the
government ship purchase bill. Sem
ator Walsh delivered an elaborate
argument maintaining the unques-
tionable right of the United States 10
acquire American owned merchant
ships and Senator Fletcher, in char,ge
OF the bill. followed with speech
charging that the Rockefeller Nor
gan-Perkins interests" were behino
opposition to the measure.
Senator Fletcher declared the sys-
TEN OF interlocking djrectorates en-
isting today in the shipping world
probably was without parallel in
financial experience.
1T Is against these interests thut
the government Is fighting for this
measure. And the reason the en-
trance of the government in this busi-
ness Is opposed is because that en-
trance will break the chains by whicn
the independent lines now are kept
out of tho trade.
II have information that the same
interests have investments in some OF
the big Eastern newspapers. and this
may account for the stalwart oppo-
sition of some Eastern newspapers to
this bill. May we not assume that
these same interests have dominated
the Chambers Of Commerce of New
York, Boston and New Orica ans in
reaching conclusions I'm opposition 20
the measure?''
In reply TO questions Senator FleI-
cher said that in his opinion the gov
ernment should first buy ships in the

Trowbridse Gallatin OF Noroton. Conn.
wife OF Frederick Gallatin, Jr., Of New

secured a divorce to-day In the Superior
Court on the ground Of inndelity. Judge

been sumbitted by Mrs. Gallattn and
three detectives employed by her In
New York last year to watch the move

begun TO suspect through a letter she
had opened by mistake.
Tho Gallatins were married April ~,
1902. and have two children. Nancy and
Frederick A. The wife began to sus-
poet Gallatin more than a year ago.
She said that she opened a letter and
found that II had been written to her
husband by a Mrs. Hammond, who asked
for money. In this letter, Mrs. Gallatin
said, her husband was upbraided for not
having sent s25 to miss Morgan" She

$50, which would settle everything.
Now be q dear and do this Mrs. Ham
mond asked. according TO Mrs. Gallatin.
When william A. Kaiser OF a New
York detective agency took tho stand
and began to tell his story there was
silence In the court room, for he told
OF gay rides. wine suppers and stays at
houses OF a questionable kind. with
another detective Kaiser had followed
Gallatin and a male companion from
the Union club to an apartment house In
West Forty-ninth street. where they
were Joined by two ~fashionably dressed
women.
Kaiser was later old by ths super
~intendent of the apartment house that
one of Gallatin's friends had an apart
ment there and would let Gallatin use
IL. The woman accompanying Gallatin
on the night In question was described
az tall. slim and gowned In gorgeous
red silk. Gallatin and the woman went
from tho apartment house to Rector's.
where they consumed many cocktails.
Shortly after ! o'clock they went TO "A
house in Wes, Forty-sixth street. which,
upon investigation, Kaiser found to
have been raided at least once. The
detectives were unable TO say when
Gallatin left this house. because at an
early hour Il began to rain and they
were driven from the street. This evil
dence was corroborated by Detectives
Thomas McKenna and william Bon
frackin-
Mrs. Galiatin told tho court that she
had discovered that her husband had
spent more than 5000 for flowers and
jewelry for one woman and that he had
sold bonds and securities belonging to
her that he might maintain women.
She said that she confronted hin with
evidence OF his misiceds and he ad-
mitted being u%nfaithful.

Again Lee was quoted as follows

instantaneous.
"Now," asked Walsh OF Mr.. Rookie
Teller, was that one of you ideas. to
publish n partial truth applying to n

and make the public believe that the
miners were "A set of hogs?'
Chairman Walsh picked nut another

Mr.. walsh, read another paragraph
from the Stevenson article as follows:

There is at the present time about

output Of these three countries is only

would Of course be much less, so it
can easily be seen that the question
is not one to be easily solved and 1t
oehooves all the above countries to
Increase their respective productions
as much as they possibly can, for
Vhen the war is over and trade begins
to re-establish itself and the nations
undergo a process of rehabilitation,
the demand for all breadstuffs will be
enormous.

Of all neutral wheat-producing coun-

REALLY NOT A FAIR BET
Young Man Made Wager Which II
Was Almost impossible for
Him to Lose. q.

There was no sound except the faint
and regular tick of a watch. Other
wise silence and gloom pervaded the
elegantly furnished drawing room.
In one chair sat A beautiful girl,
her lips tightly closed, her eyes s@r-
ing straight before her and her every
muscle tense with a powerful effort
of self-control In another sat a
young man whose face expressed Sc
robustness but confidence. In his hand
he held an open watch which he OBJ
served closely only raising his eyes
now and then to glance at the beautl-
full girl, who seemed to be in such
agony.
Five seconds. ten. fifteen, twenty
seconds passed. The position OF
neither the young man nor beautiful
girl had changed.
Suddenly her eyes cleaned with a
wild light; she clasped her hands con.
vulsively, and
