To Continue Testimony
For the rest of the day, Mrs.
Miller is expected to testify as to
her feelings toward Chatten, no
less than as to her actions.
She had been wavering between
olyalty to her husband and love
for her children--and a feeling
that she was beginning Ito cares

BRITISH SEEK ARMS
IN COTTON BY X RAY
Bales From America TO Germany
First Photographed.

New York.-The war in Europe has
brought to light many innovations, but
none more interesting than the taking
of Y ray photographs OF bales of cot
ton to discover c~ontraband of war
possibly concealed therein. X ray ex-
perts with a big powerful machine are
taking photograph after photograph
of bales OF cotton on piers In this city.
Cotton amounting to 10000 bales was
all photographed before being loaded
into the hold OF the steamer City OF
Macon OF the Savannah line for
Bremen, the first cargo for that port
TO leave New York since the war start
ed. Cotton is not co%ntraband of war,
and the City OF Macon, flying the
American flag, will be allowed to pro-
coed to Bremen without interference
from the British.
But the British, who have command
Of the sea, are extremely cautious
these times. 1t occurred to the con-
sui general in New York. Sir Cour-
tenay w. Bennett, that cannons, guns
or other c%ontraband might be con-
ceaied I'm the cotton for delivery to
the German army or navy. Obviously
it would be impracticable to open any
of the bales and 60 through the cotton
for contraband. The idea of taking
X ray photographs was suggested.
Officials Of the British government,
passing along the immense piles Of
cotton bales oil the pier, directed steve
dores to drag out a bale here and
there. Each bale so selected was pho
t~ographed. with the idea that solid sub
stances concealed In the cotton would
show. The X ray did not detect any
contraband in the FIRST batch Of bales
examined.
