There was marked relaxation of ten.

was attributed largely to the knowledge

that the German Foreign Office has com.
pleted it's reply to President Wilson'S
note on the submarine issue and thai
the Kaiser has discussed the whole sub.
ject of friendly relations between the two
nations with Ambassador Gerard.

strong desire that there be no breach

pected TO be in President Wilson's hands
by the middle of next week, If not sooner,
The German Embassy earlier forecast
had put the date of the reply's receipt
as lat" as the eud of the week
In the belief that German officials have
met the embarrassing problem facing
them there Is now much conjecture as
to how far the Kaiser has gone tn meet
President Wilson's contentious and de-
nands. Mere expressions of regard and
desire for friendship, If not coupled with
compliance with the American position,
will not save the situation, 1t was made
clear.
Some idea Of what Germany proposes
to do is expected to reach this country
from Ambassador Gerard not later than

American attitude with regard TO armed
merchantmen. caused new furry here
today
No official comment was obtainable. The
average Berliner. whose first wave of
anger over the American note had sub.
sided, thought he saw substantiaiion of
the old charge that the United States is
doing everything to help England
The statement in the memorandum that
an armed merchantmen is n peaceful trad
ing ship until conclusive evidence to the
contrary is offered, was pointed to by sew
eral German critics today.
''Gf / walk down the street with gun
in my pocket how does President Wilson
know whether my intention is offensive or
defensive?" demanded one Berlin citizen.
1t is too early to say whether the pub
lication of the memorandum will cause
any hitch in the German-American me-
gotiatlons. which are now in a satisfactory
stage. This information probably will not
be obtainahle until after the return OF
Ambassador Gerard from the headquar'
ters conference with the Kaiser, which was

Will Begun
Barber Of San Francco-Ques of Judicial Ethics
Involved

If no alfalfa garnishes the empty area
atop the learned Judge the chances of
Nine. Gorge for acquttal will be decidedly
Slim But she is confident Incidentally,
the Judge is also looking forward with
unusual interest
If Judges agree to stand for such tests
many members of the bench are wonder
ing where It will all end. Now they are
obliged to pass on the morals of candid
mov'ee. nature dances, various kinds of
food. and there is every indication that
they will be asked to visit barber shops
to test the concoctions which are doused
on the human face by tantalizing ton
sorialists who endeavor to talk human
beings into unconsciousness while they
reduce pocketboolts.
And there are rumors that some mani
curists use liquids which poison the nails
Therefore, to see whether this is true the
Judges may have to go and get trimmed
so that they may have knowledge of such
cases at their finger ends.

Has Judge the right to use his own
bald head as an exhibit in court?
Does such an act violate judicial
neutrality?
This question is pu7zling a number of
local lawyers, Some claim that a Judge
has no right to help prove anything for
either side He should weigh the testi-
mony but keep off the scales of Justice,
they say.
The controversy arose when word was
received here of the action of Police
Judge Morris Oppenhener, of San Fran
cisco, who permitted his bald head to be
used to test a hair tonic. II seems that
Madame George Gorge, manufacturer of
the magic tonic, advertised that the power
full fluid would grow hair on almost any
kind of a bald head. She was arrested
and accused of advertising misstatements
1t Is said that number of BARRIERS who
were envious of the popularity of the hair
concoctlon were largely responsible for
the action taken.

WIFE OF q YEARS SUED
FOR BIGAMY BY DOCTOR
A. Wingrove Daniel Asks An
nulment-Kept Silent Here
tofore for Daughters Sake

Dr. A. Wingrove Daniel, a physician,
of $3.50 Chestnut street today started
proceedings i'm Common Pleas Court No 1
TO annul his marriage of 81 years to
Emily Albert Daniel. He declares that
Mrs. Daniel is a bigamist and has a hus-
band living i'm Birmingham, England.
Doctor Daniel said he was forced to
institute the proceedings to fight a bill
of equity filed by his wife in the same
court last February,
Doctor Daniel said he had known for
many years that his wife was married to
another man. but refrained from taking
action for the sake of his daughter Doro-
thy 10 years old and his position in So
cety. Mrs Daniel told him of her for
mer marriage, he said shortly after the
child was born.
Mrs, Daniel resides in New York. but
Lincoln L. Eyre, Daniells lawyer said
she was at present in this city, keeping a
close watch on the developments that may
result from Doctor Danielrs action. Doc
tor Daniel said he and his wife separated
following quarrel over their daughters
dramatic aspirations. Miss Daniel went
on the stage against her fathers wishes
At the time of the separation, Doctor
Daniel said, he agreed to pay $50 a
month alimony, with the agreement that
he was TO correspond with and occasion
ally see his daughter. He kept the agree
ment, he said, until Mrs. Daniel broke Il
by filing the bill of equity for $4,000, for
alleged arrearages in alimony
DIR. Daniel said his wife had ruined his
life and his practice. He said he married
her in 1895, four years after she is alleged
to have come from Birmingham. DR..
Daniel is a graduate of the jefferson
Medical College
Mr.. Eyre said It was the most extra
ordinary" case he had ever heard Of 1T
Is the most remarkable story Of a Wom-
ans life" he said. We have the oficlal
record of her former marriage TO Charles
Allen. a prominent Englishman, on March
l5, 1878 / think there will be several
more sensational developments"

that the hair fluid in question was not

When legal vocabularies were at length
exhausted, Nine. Gorge reminded the
Court that documentary evidence spoke
louder than fancy rhetoric
Then she amazed the Court by Offering

"Biff Bang Bih !" said the fists of
the wild woman's husband. who began to
get wild himself Walter replied with
many punches to the face. The battle
seemed to awaken the spirit of the forest
within the wild woman and she joined
the scrimmage.
Fists and feet were flying about the
sidewalk when District Detective Prem
dergast was attracted by the excitement.
He ended hOstilities in an emphatic man
ner. and brought all three to the police
station.
When she faced Magistrate Price the
wild woman was decidedly tame Walter
was discharged, but the woman and her
husband were sent back to adjoining
cells
The cellbars were still intact today, and
unless Rose can scrape up the necessary
coin she and her husband will have to
give their show for the inmates of the
County Prison.
