NOT PLAINTIFF S WIFE.
Claim Made Yesterday in the Poultney
Alienation Suit.

RUTLAND, April II - Arguments
were reached late yesterday in the 5000
alienation case OF James f. Williams,
superintendent Of the Borden's Plant at
Poultney, against Fred f. Jones, son OF
prominent slate manufacturer
For the defense, Attorney J B. McCor-
mick of Granville. y y, accused tie
plaintiff of seeking to establish a white
slave district in the vicinity Of Lake St
Catherine, because of testimony tending to
show that he had taken trips there in
company with girls. The plaintiff had
claimed the girls were friends OF the fam
lily. The defense claimed that three
months before her marriage to Mr. vii
liams, Mrs. Williams, then Elizabeth Oar
ling, was married to medical student
named Thomas A. Gonzales, now in New
\ ork city. The defense alleges Mrs. VII
iams was never the legal wife of Mr.
/ Williams, and that because of this, he
cannot recover for her affections
The plaintiff introduced a certified copy
of an annulment decree obtained BY Mr.
Gonzales in New York state in 1906 and
because Mr. and Mrs Williams have lived
together as man and wife since then, a
common law marriage Is claimed

WASHINGTON, April Il. - While
disinehned to credit reports that Japan
had established naval base at Turtle
Bay, Lower California, United States
officials yesterday instituted an inves-
tigation with the idea of learning ex-
actly what use the belligerent war
ships were making Of Mexican terrific
rial waters. Secretary Daniels tele-
graphed Rear Admiral Howard of the
Pacific fleet the substance Of the pub
lished stories and asked him to ascer-
tain whether there was any founda-
ton for them. Secretary Bryan has
received no information from the
American consuls IN Lower California
to the effect that the japanese intend
TO establish naval base there; but it
is understood he will communicate the
press reports to them with a request
fer any facts that may bear on the
subject.

Saw the Movies on Trip
The girl at the hearing yesterday said
that her short iaunt beyond the borders of
Windsor county was the only one she had
taken with her lover. She said, when
questioned by Attorney Trainor, that she
and Horace took a little side trip in the
Massachusetts city by attending a moving
picture show and her eyes glistened at the
recollection Of the experience.
Punt, who has been employed for two
years as a farmland IN this town, is an
Englishman but the appeal Of Lord kitch-
ener for men for the trenches falls unheed-
ed on Horace's ears He and Airline have
plighted their troth and she told a Spring
field police matron she was to wed her
British lover after her 18th birthday.
Punt, who is extremely unsophisticated
gazed lovingly at Miss Kent while she
convinced the court that she was respon-
sible for the Springfield trip. The young
