Hazen referred to the all night SEES
sion in which DR.. and Mrs. Ernest re-
viewed all their troubles. Early in
the morning. it was brought out, Mrs.
Ernest got up and dressed supposedly
for the purpose of going to the river
to drown herself
b. did you follow your wife when
She left the house," Judge Hazen
asked.
mo I did not" was the answer.
What did you do during the
night?"
just Let Her Talk.
81 just held her and let her talk
She would slip out of my hands at
times and sit up at the head of the
bed"
when was your next trouble?' %
'In a modified form it was a con-
tinuous AFFAIR."" was DR.. Ernest's re-
ply.
The trouble between Mrs. Ernest
and Miss Knox in the doctors office
Yves again recited on cross-examina-
ton. No new points in the general
procedure of the scene as it took place
were brought out
The plaintiffs attorneys attempted
to show that DR.. Ernest had a desk in
his office which could be transformed
into a bed and that the bed had been
used but DR.. Ernest emphatically de-
MED that the desk had ever been used
for that purpose.
On redirect examination Clad Ham
ilton, one of DR.. Ernest's attorneys,
brought out the fact that Mrs. Ernest
had labored under the impression that
she was going to inherit a fortune
from a wealthy uncle in California.
"On our trip to California we went
to a little mining town called Placer
vile, I believe, but found that the
property was practically worthless, -
explained DIR. Ernest.
On recross- denomination the attor-
neys for Mrs. Ernest asked DIR. Ernest
about his converting two $500 bonds
into cash.
What did you do this for" Judge
Hazen asked
Because I was afraid Bird would
stick a plaster on it. That was after
1 had given up hope of ever making
a settlement" was the answer.
w. A. S. Bird is one of Mrs. Err
nests attorneys and is the lawyer
with whom both DR.. and Mrs. Ernest
were negotiating prior to the filing of
the present suit.
What did you do with the
money!" was asked.
Il spent it for general expenses, au-
tomobile repairs and so forth
From indications the case will not
be completed before tomorrow after
noon at the earliest possible time.
There are several more witnesses to
be examined, both direct and indirect.

meeting of the cabinet to consider the
latest draft of the cofpulsion bill may
result in further changes and may pos
sibly result in the designations of these
important ministers.
Ireland Thorn in Flesh.
The treatment of Ireland is another
thorny problem and the conflicting
statements regarding this matter may
be an indication of the struggle which
will go on in the cabinet this morning.
All the papers. both conscriptionists
and supporters of voluntary enlist
ment, agree that Ireland will be eX-
cluded from the operation of the bill
and that the press association state
ment that Ireland would be included
was inaccurate. According to the
Times, Ireland was included in the
first draft of the bill. which was only
intended to provide a convenient ba-
sis for discussion. Much light will be
thrown on the strained situation by the
details of the working plan of the Earl
of Derby, director of recruiting, the
figures of which will be published to-
day as a parliamentary paper. The
final draft of the new bill will be con-
sidered by the committee at a cabinet
meeting an hour before the regular
cabinet Council. The Morning Post
expresses the belief that Premier AS
quith has been able to give Mr.. Nc
Kenna and Mr.. Runciman assurances
that measures can and will be taken to
insure that a sufficient number of
men will be left not only to carry on
the manufacture of munitions but all
trades vital to the interest of the coun-
try. The Post, although a cOnscrip-
ZIONIST paper, attaches importance to
the retaining of these two ministers in
the cabinet.
Navy Needs Good Men, Too.
The Daily Chronicle says the new
bill will contain a clause safeguarding
the navy from the danger of the bill
sweeping all efficient men into the
army, and estimates that when all al
lowances are made for unfit men and
those required for the manufacture of
munitions and for other necessary SER
vice. the new bill will bring only 20O,-
600 men into the army.
Wednesdays sitting of parliament
will be of exceeding interest. Besides
Premier Asquiths statement, Sir John
Simon will make brief address ex-
planning his position. He already has
taken formal farewell of his depart
mental chiefs. The names of Lewis
Harcourt. first commissioner of works
and Herbert Samuel, chancellor of the
Duchy of Lancaster, are mentioned
among his possible successors at the
home office.

Kansas City Stock Yards, Jan. A.
There was some weakness in beef steers
last Tuesday, but the net change for the
week was not material. The close of the
week found everything cleared up, and
packing houses with bare supply pens,
today today receipts Ii $1,000 head large large
share of the receipts were stockers and
feeders, and trade in these was active, at
stronger prices. Killing cattle sold Mt
steady prices. Nothing extra good in
steers was here, top price $50 middle
steers around $3.50 Cows and bulls are
selling at higher prices, choice heavy cows
$3.50 to 81, choice heavy bulls up to $625,
veal calves also higher, up to $3.50 Stock

OutCo last week was twice as great as
corresponding week year ago, and the
total shipments for the year 1915 never

since the season opened November at
western points is 20 per cent greater than

Shortage of ocean vessels is restricting

Apparently the hog market is on a firm

PEACE OVERTURES
ADD TO CONFIDENCE
Financial Circles Believe DOmi-
nance of Militarism Is
Waning in London.
By FRANCIS W. HIRST.
Editor The Economist" lsndsn.
fRv Cable IN The Tribune

London, May 16.-The release OF
home railway preference and debent-
ure stocks from minimum prices,
which were absurdly and prohibi-
lively high, provides a welcome
proof of the confidence Of investors
and the latent strength of our Lon
don Stock Exchange position. The
marking down of prices does not ex-
coed expectations. Plenty Of bust
ness has been done in Midland 212
per cent preference shares at 48,
which affords fair index of the true
interest rate as adjudged by our
market for a first class security OF
the second rank.
Financial psychology undoubtedly
has been improved by the peace over
lures from Germany. Sir Edward
Grey's interview with a Chicago
journalist was a compliment 20
America. and indicated the import
ance attached by the British gov
eminent to American public feeling.
Both the interview and press com
ments here, especially of northern
newspapers, disclose a changed attl-
tude. We incline to hope the Ger
man people are. beginning to exert
pacific influence, and that German
militarism is becoming discredited in
Germany. A we'll known military
expert told me to-day he was con-
WINGED the political authorities in
Berlin already had the upper hand of
aggressive militarism. Macmillan
Harden's outspoken articles in "Zu-
kunft" are highly significant. !
dwell on this because. obviously, pri-
vate finance and the solvency Of
many states depend on the duration
of the war.
The mere currency question Of the
future value of the ruble, mark, lire
and franc means much to London as
the axis of world customers.
The effect Of compulsory service
on small businesses is also anXiously
canvassed and the government is
hard pressed in debate.
The income tax is severely felt and
the match tax has doubled prices,
thus providing an object lesson to
protectionists.
