HIS SEVENTH WIFE
CAUSES HIM TROUBLE
Fred Carpenter Swears He
Was Married But Twice
0verloOks Five Wives

Tacoma, Wash, Jan. 2O.-In the
county Jail here today charged with
perjury as a result of his testimony in
a damage suit, Fred f. Carpenter, age
81, bids fair to rival the matrimonial
achievements of Charles Wax, of coli
yer Osborne fame, according to the
prosecuting attorney S office.
Carpenter was arrested yesterday in
a corridor of the court house. His bail
was fixed at $4,000, which he was un-
able to furnish.
Carpenter s arrest was largely due
to the testimony of Mrs. Mary G.
Creamer, his last wife of the seven he
is alleged to have acquired during a
long career. He testified he had been
married only twice and that both of
his wives were dead; that his name was
Ernest f. Carpenter; that he had never
been arrested before. Mrs Creamer APP
pearcd on the witness stand very much
alive and declared she had had him ar
rested for nOn-suppOrt and that he had
served a term in the county Jail after
conviction ON that charge.
Mrs. Mary Kistler, who divorced him
prior to his marriage 10 Mrs. Creamcr,
was also subjOenaed. She too, appeared
in living form, but was not called to
the stand.
Carpenter testified that he was born
in Milwaukee. 1t is said by a former
wife, however, that he was born in Ger
many and that his real name is Fritz
Zimmerman. He has also gone under
the names of Fred A. Carpenter, Fred
Roson and Ernest Roson. According to
the allegations of an eX-Wife, he has
propensity for marrying widows who
have property
According to information here, it is
said Carpenter married Lydia A. Haw-
kins in Denver, May 10, 1905, while he
was still married to Mary Pilgrim,
whom he is said to have deserted, leav-
ing her with three children. As a result
of his marriage escapade, Carpenter
was convicted Of bigamy and served a
term in the Colorado state penitcntiary
but left the state while on parole.
He was next heard of in San Diego
Cal, where he is said to have married
Mrs. Alice Retz, a wealthy widow, on
June 30 1907, and while married tC
her is said to have served six months
on the rock pile for threatening to xii
her.

OF the captured British steamer Meth
orby Hall, among those landed at
Pc,nambuco from the German prize
sl.;p Hudson Maru, was authority fo"
thus statement today.
There are three submarines carried
by the raider" he said in an inter
view at Pernambuco.
"They are capable of operation over
q small radius and are equipped with
torpedoes, dynamite and ammunition.
Such additional details as these, in
dicating the tyicpal German thorough
ness with which the raider was pre-
pared and equipped, led shipping cir
cles to predict long chase by allied
warships before the sea scourge is
cornered Certainly she has not been
definitely located today, according to
dispatches at South American ports
and this despite the fact that big
fleet of warships is now literally rak-
ing the ocean for her. Wireless dis
patches received today said the auxil-
iary British cruisers Macedonia and
Drama had arrived off Pernambuco.
The most detailed description Of the
German raider yet given was revealed
by the captain of the Netherby Hall
in dispatches from Pernambuco.
The Captains srory
Il began calling for help by wireless
the moment l sighted the raider" he
said. 81 kept this up until a shot
across the bows of my ship showed it
was useless for me to try to escape.
The raider was equipped with several
machine guns in addition to her can
non and in addition carried three sub
marines about six metcrs-(1S.74 feet)
long, capable of being operated over
a small radius and equipped with tor
pedoes, dynamite and ammunition.
II would put the raiders speed at
% knots-and she always Travelled at
top speed during the day time. AT
night she slowed up, but her engine
room crew was always held in Feadi
ness to Jam on her full speed. ~
Additional descriptions from the
captain of the Radonshirc today gave
these new details of his experience
further indicating the raider had con
verted one of her prizes into another
commerce destroyer.

WILL TAKE PLAYERS
FROM MINOR LEAGUES
If Players Strike Managers
Will Find Plenty of Good
Material
BY H. G. Hamilton.

Omitted Press Staff Correspondent
New York, Jan. 20 If every play
er IN the two major leagues should
strike and refuse to enter spring train
ing camps this year, the magnates sim
ply would take the best of the minors
available, add to these the best of the
independents, semi-professionals and
college players obtainable, and 90 on
with business -
This was the statement today of
John Foster, secretary of the New
York National league baseball club.
Foster said he was confident that the
course as outlined would be followed
by the major leaguers.
''Of course he said, "every major
Lacquer is not going to strike. We
have assurances from several of our
players and | know there are assur-
ances from several of our players and
/ know there are assurances for other
clubs. Add to these players the best
the country can produce from the min
ors and some pretty fair baseball would
be produced.
THE ranks of baseball are constant
ly being recruited from the minors and
from among college players. The life
of a baseball player at best is short
| Why, then, couldn t we, within a year
offset absolutely any damage that
might be done by a strike?
Once before this trouble cropped
out. There was an attempt to union
ize the national game. 1t didn t
amount to the breath it required for
those behind it to announce it. The
magnates simply let the players strike
went ahead and engaged other players
and within year there was not a doz
en- of the old players who had struck
back in baseball. Their places had
been filled by younger men-men who
were playing as good or better ball
than the men they succeeded.
''You cannot inject unionism into
sport without wrecking it. When yor
form a trade union in games, whether
| baseball, football or golf, it ceases tC
be sport. 1t becomes a profession il
! the strictest sense of the word, witt
fraternalism standing out in such {
manner as to impcach the competitive
feature of the game.
Dave Fultz is fine fellow and
| like him, but he is hitting off ON tho
wrong tangent.
"This strike could hurt the mag
mates from financial standpoint. Any
money it will cost must come out o
the pockets of the ball players. They
are the men who will lose because the,
must be idle. Those who follow hin
