Former President Taft has shown that an
influential Republican may stand squarely be-
hind the president in the handling of one ques-
ton of state policy without endorsing his policy
on all. And, by the way, if memory serves cor

raped the administration for it's Mexican pol
ICY and certainly not the first time he has
severely criticised the handling of the Philip.

wise the incident would have been much more
serious for Germany and the United States.

to see how Germany can avoid an explanation

Page Will DELIVER
BRITISH NOTE TODAY
May Be Published in Britain. France
and United States on Next
Monday Morning.

The note OF the United States to the
British government protesting against
British interferences with neutral trade
reached London on Wednesday and will
be presented at the British foreign ONCE
today. according to advices received 81
the State Department yesterday.
II IL probable that the note will be
published IN this country and IN Eng
land next Monday morning. Ambassador
Page has been instructed to endeavor to
make an arrangement TO this effect al
the foreign Office today.
Copies OF the note will be delivered to
the British and French embassies today.
This action is desired by the ambas-
sadors, and IL In line with the policy
OF the State Department. In other cases
where a note has been sent to one of the
belligerent governments the State De-
partment has frequently furnished the
diplomatic representative here Of that
country with q copy of its communica-
ton. France Is regarded as equally In
terested and responsible with Great Brit
ain in the present situation, as both gov
ern:nents issued virtually Identical orders
to enforce the blockade against Germany
and other measures which have caused
damage to American trade interests.
The impression has been created here
that the communication Is q vigorous re-
assertion OF American rights. All phases
OF the American complaints against the
practices Of the British government are
dealt with, and it is the expectation of
officials here that II will satisfy those
who have been charging that the United
States government was unwilling to take
England to task for violations OF inter-
national law, though most insistent In its
demands of Germany in the submarine
issue

THIEF STEALS $500
WHEN CASHIER Is BUSY
Open Window of New York Bank
Aids in Daring Daylight Rob-

Special to The Washington Herald.
New York, Nov. "A thief. who PLACED
himself in a line Of patrons at the Bronx
Borough Bank. just before closing hour
today, crowded his hand through the
bars OF the paying teller's cage and stole
$500.
Not the slightest clew exists to his
identity. Discovery of the theft was not
made until after the bank closed at 3
o'clock.
At the time the money disappeared the
bank was thronged with patrons making
deposits and Withdrawals. Joseph wethe-
rill. the paying teller, was busy counting
out money for presented checks. His
eyes were continually riveted on the great
stack OF gold and bills Immediately in
front OF him.
Four feet TO his left there was another
paying window. which was not in use,
and protected by bars, but the glass be-
hind IL was not lowered. The line OF
patrons could look through this grilled
window and see. only few inches be-
hind, Q basket heaped high with green
and yellow bank notes.
The thief must have carefully placed
his hands between the bars of the un-
used window and made an opening large
enough to admit his forearm. There
were one or two small packages, bound
so tightly they could be thrust into q
pocket. The fact that they were OF so.

Was Afectionate Even When Sober

Lieut.. Commander William P. Cron-
an, U. S. N. was apparently dead in
love with his first wife and openly
rayed OVER her, according to evidence
presented late yesterday afternoon be-
fore Justice Stafford and jury in
Equity Court No. !. by attorneys for
the plaintiff in the suit brought by
Mrs. Marie Cronan to recover from her
former husband $1,000 alleged to be
due her under the terms OF an ante
divorce contract.
The testimony was given by Mrs.
Daisy Humphreys, lifelong friend Of
Mrs. Cronan, and widow of Joseph
Humphreys. playwright and author.
and for nearly thirty years producer
for Charles Frohman and David Belas-
CO. All the statements of the attract
i've young witness were in direct OPP
position TO those OF Lieut.. Commander
Cronan, who had testified that he never
truly loved his first wife and that he
was intoxicated when he married her.
When and where did you first meet
Lieut.. Commander Cronan?' the wit
ness was asked by Attorney Joseph
Cox. counsel for Mrs. Cronan.
1T was about 1906 at Larchmont
Manor. a fashionable colony and yacht
racing center near New Rochelle. N.
Y. had a cottage and Mrs. Cronan had
one, too. ! was at Mrs. Cronans cot
tage when 1 first saw Lieut. Com
mander Cronan. 1t was racing week
at Larchmont Manor and he was a
member OF weekend house party. He
was very attentive to Mrs. Cronan and
he seemed very much in love with
her"
Attorney Cox then asked Mrs
Humphreys If she remembered a supper
party given at Cassidy's in New York
City in the summer of 1907, not long
after the secret marriage OF Lieut.. Com
mander and Mrs. Cronan. The naval
officer had testified on Wednesday that
he was drunk at this supper party and
that he tainted in the course of the
evening. but that he did not remember
having shown any marked affection to-
ward Mrs. Cronan.
II remember 1t we'll" replied Mrs.
Humphreys. THE party was given in
my honor, for l was TO leave the next
day for Europe. / was the only one in
the party who then knew that Lieut..
Commander Cronan and Mrs. Cronan
were married"
Was Lieut.. Commander Cronan at
tentive to Mrs. Cronan?'
''Oh, very. very attentive, said the
witness with feeling. He was simply
crazy over her. He just raved to me
over her"
Was he drunk" asked Attorney Cox.
NO, indeed; he was not. No one was
drunk. | don't think there was anything
TO drink, even. Oh. yes; there was, too.
We had a little champagne"
How much did Cronan drink
"Oh, he didn't drink at all. He just
raised the glass to his lips and took little
sips while his other hand rested affec-
tionately on Mrs. Cronan's shoulder. But
he didn't drink any,"
Did he faint?''
why, no; he did not"
Mrs RosaIie Wright. former secretary
to Joseph Redding. who at one time was
Mrs. Cronan's attorney, testified she

overheard a conversation between Mrs.
Cronan and Redding, in which the for
mer stated that her husband had come
TO her apartment and begged forgive
ness; that she had forgiven him; that he
decided he would remain with her, and
that only few hours thereafter he
abused her cruelty and left. According
to Mrs. Wright, this incident angered
Redding, who demanded of Cronan an
explanation! She said Cronan came to
the office and remarked to Redding: Il

An element Of the humorous was inject
ed into the proceedings through a portion
of the deposition OF Miss Ella Carr. of
San Francisco. She testified that during
visit to Mrs Cronan's apartment, Mrs
Cronan showed her a picture of Lieut.
Commander Cronan. The picture, she
said. was lying on a table with a small
watch on top of II. She said Mrs Cronan
remarked:
This is my husband. You notice that

Commander Robert william Henderson,

manager for the Standard OIL COMPANY
and brother-in-law of 'Cronan, testified
according TO a written deposition, that he
and Cronan went around the world to-
gether with the feet. He said that during
that time Cronan's marriage was kept a
secret to him. He also said that Cronan
frequently was in the company of women
