papers that had beer neglected during
the last few weeks of Secretary Bryan's

recess appointment, but there is no
doubt of his prompt confirmation whom
tho Senate meets.
Faces Big Problems.
It Is doubtful ii any man has enter
cd the office of Secretary of State with
30 many important problems confront
One OF the important questions con-
corning the International administration
or the department Is the selection of a
counselor. the position which Mr.. Lans-
Ing himself has occupied. lie said to-
day there had been nothing done in this
matter.
Unofficial gossip is that politicians al
ready are busy over the office of coun-
selor. The Texas friends of Cone John
son. now solicitor. want him to be made
counselor.
Favored For Counselor.
Chandler Anderson, the department 8
special counsel. who has aided in hand
ling many difficult problems, is favored
in many quarters for counselor How
ever he is q Republican. MIR. Lansing
is well-disposed toward Mr.. Anderson
and has worked with him satisfactorily.
If there were no political considerations,
he doubtless would favor Mr.. Ander-
son.
Mr.. Lansing is qualified to act as his
own counselor If need be and this Is
what he has been doing while Secretary

1t was gossiped here today that Col.
E. M. House, of Texas, would urge the

Stand Such 0sculation With
Divorce Defendant.

NEW YORK, June 24.-Mrs. Nina
Tempest simply couldn't have her lips
about those of Edward r. Robertson,
millionaire importer, while the clock
licked off sixty seconds. DR.. Oscar M
Lciser testified today in Mrs. Robert
sons suit for divorce.
MRS. Tempest was in such a highly

injury"

Marathon kiss" In Mrs. Nina Tenn
pests apartments.
Whether Mrs. Tempest is love
pirate" or a ''iovable character, a good
natured soul-one of the best-who lent
herself to the accommodation of friends
and now gets into this difficulty" was
the question at issue.
Mrs. Tempest was correspondent in
another case few months ago. but
at that time her name was not de-
Tended
The chief witness for Mrs. Robertson
was a detective, who said that while
watching the apartment OF Mrs. Tenn
pest he saw the defendant and the
correspondent sitting together In the
window. He continued:
she had her arms around Mr.. Rob
ertson and was kissing him all over the
face. She seemed to like it. and 1t
looked as II he did. He was gesturing
with his arms and | could almost hear
the smacks. Her mouth was close to
his for minute at time
Another detective. who also saw the
window kissing episode. was sure that
each kiss lasted minute and some
times more. Mary Edwards. a Colorcd
maid for Mrs. Tempest. said she first
saw Robertson in the Tempest apart
ment shortly after she went there in
December, 1913. and said that lie vas
a constants visitor until she left Mrs.
Tcmpests employ last March.
