THE signing of the address by

Of The university was used H. ccnnec-
tion with their signatures, unwise,
unfortunate and TO be deplored, but
upon investigation | am satisfied
that no one signed II with any in

the university was mentioned in CON

no professor could by signature
such as YOU described bind the uni

Compton cent the following in re-
ply 10 present Hutchips:
II heartily agree with YOU that the
use of the name of the university in
connection with the unneutral mani
festo signed by number of men,
bers of it's faculty, was unwise, un'
fortunate and 10 be deplored. Use
of word professor" would have suf'
ficiently described occupation. Use
OF the name OF the university In
addition to that word was manifest
ly to give the unneutral manifesto
the benefit Of the prestige OF the
university abroad and that is not

prevented. All reference to the uni

SENSEMAN AND
WIFE IN "SPAT''
Warning Couple Exchange
Sharp Words In Court Over
Possession of Notes

Robert r. Senseman, defendant
and cross complainant in bitterly
contested divorce suit brought by his
wife, Emma b. Senseman, scored
Friday, when Marie Halzle, a former
boarder with the Sensemans at No
427 Willis-ave. west. told OF Mrs
Senseman's philanderings.
There was great discrepancy ir
the accounts of certain roadhouse
parties as given by Mrs. Senseman
and Miss Halzle. The latter repeat
ed Mrs. Senseman's stories to her OF
boat trip to Cleveland.
Amusement was caused In the
courtroom during recess In the
testimony by humorous spat be-
tween Senseman and his wife.
Forty closely written pages Of
notes and memoranda on his wife's
shortcomings, and a diary Of her
acts, as closely kept as though 1t
had been the journal Of his own per
sonal life, were produced In court by
Senseman when he began his coun-
ter-assaults on his wife In the d.
vorce contest. The existence OF the
record had been unknown to Mrs.
Senseman, who casually picked up
the sheets from the table and began
to look them over. This brought a
sharp protest from the husband, and
the couple exchanged several hot
shots" before Mrs. Senseman gave
up the record. II was the first time
the Sensemans had spoken to each
