tenn between New York and Washing

Organized Telephone Reserve
In his acceptance speech Colonel
Carly told of the organization of the
Telephone Reserve Corps, which is now
with General Pershing and is consid-
cred one of the most vital parts of the
signal corps system. Twelve battalions
of men were in training while pursuing
their telephone work, said Colonel
Carty, and when war was declared they
were Immediately called into service.
General Squier saw that the signal
corps, as constituted in 1915, was far
tooxsmall and not adequate" said Colo
mel Carty. "He came to me, and we
went to President Bethel. The Tele-
phone Reserve Corps resulted from
this"
Colonel Carty described the work of
the reserve with the navy in May, 1916,

''She Tempted Me-" Says Witness
Against Girl Who Killed I lis Wife
DR. Roberts, at Murder Trial. Tells of Relations With Miss
Grace Lusk; Tried to Force Mrs Roberts to Give
Him Up, He Says

WAUKESHA, Wis, May II. - DR..
David Roberts took the witness stand
to-day as the accuser Of Grace Lusk
on trial, charged with the murder of
his wife.
"She tempted me-" was the burden of
all his testimony
"Oh, that is not true" the defendant
cried, as she struggled from her seat,
despite hands that tried to restrain
"she asked me if I loved her. and 1
answered that l honored and respected
her." he swore as he barred the story
of their relations from the time they
first met at the home of a mutual
friend in July, 1914, until he found his
wife dying with two bullets in her body
three years later.
81 want you to tell me that you love
me more than any one else in the
world, and l want you to tell Mrs.
Roberts so," he testified she said to
him at one of their meetings which
had been sought by her.
II said absolutely no, and she struck
me in the face as hard as she could,'
he added.
Intercepted Letter 20 Wife
Later he told of meeting her in Chi
cago and Milwaukee hotels and pro-
duced letters she had written to him
and one written by her to Mrs. Rob-
erts which he had intercepted before
it's delivery.
II have begged him to go to you and
tell you the situation frankly, for l

letter to Mrs. Roberts read. off he
does not care enough for me to do
that, it is I who have been made the
plaything. Then I am afraid l shall

Democratic Leader
In Binghanton to
Support Whitman
George F. johnson, Friend
of Wilson, Declares He's
for Governor
By Charles r. White


Especial Dispatch to The Tr1bune)
B1NGHAMTON, May 17-George F.
Johnson, shoe manufacturer. of Endi-
cott, Johnson City, Binghamton and
New York, an enrolled Democrat and
friend of President Wilson. announced
in Binghamton this week that he would
support Governor Whitman against any
Democrat that may be named. This
fact, coupled with the withdrawal OF
Representative George w. Fairchild, of
Oneonta, from the primary race against
Senator William H. Hill, of Bingham
ton, has, according to local politicians
on both sides Of the fence, put Senator
Hills following in the ascendancy in
Broome County. It looks now as If
Senator Hill would have an easy time
carrying the primaries in Broome, OF
sego, Delaware and Chenango counties,
comprising the Congress district.
The withdrawal Of Representative
Fairchild was accompanied by bitter
ters between Mr.. Fairchild and Mr..
johnson. 1t will require good deal of
Smoothing out" to get the Fairchild
men and disgruntled Republican farm
ers back into line for the State and
Congressional ticket, if the ticket con-
tains the names Of Whitman and Hill.
Both the Governor and Senator Hill
understand the situation, and have
gone to work at the task of allaying
the soreness.
Only Advised Son-in-Law
Representative Fairchild, in his let
ter to George F. Johnson, father-in-
law of Senator Hill, referred to the
Senator as chronic Office seeker and
intimated that the Senator would not
have travelled far politically if it had
not been for the backing of Mr.. john
son. Mr.. Johnson, in his reply, said
that he was neither a Democrat nor a
free trader, but entirely Independent
in politics.
II have never, directly or indirectly,
given Senator Hill dollar to advance
his political interests" said the shoe
manufacturer. 81 have given him some
advice, which I think he has followed
so far, and 1 now publicly advise him,
if he goes to Congress, to continue to
represent all the people, to remember
that a maj jority of his constituents are
without wealth or influence and re-
quire his especial consideration, and
also to remember that he is respon-
sible for every hour of his time to the
people from whom he draws pay"
Hinman, whose control of the organiza-
tion in Broome County is threatened
by the Hill men since the announce
ment of Attorney General Lewis as a
candidate for the Republican nomina-
tion for Governor, regret that ex-Sen-
ator Hinman did not decide to enter
the primaries against Governor Whit
man. They believe that he would have
made good showing.
Senator Hill said to-day that the Re-
publican situation was looking better
every day.
Believes Whitman Will Win
"I am confident of winning in the
primaries, no matter who is nominated
against me-" said he. Congressman
Fairchild's leave taking was most un-
gracious. 1t showed bad spirit.
ri believe that Governor Whitman
will win in the primaries. There may
be some chilliness toward him on the
part of farmers here and there, who
on account Of the times seem to think
that the state might have helped them

| truthful, and l who have lost my one
and only reputation that you. might
keep your throne. 1t really isn't quite
fair, is it?"
In June, 1917, he testified, she de-
manded that he meet her in Mill
waukee hotel, and he did so only after
she had threatened to tell his wife of
their relations and to make a case
for Attorney Lockney."
At this meeting, he said, she pro-
duced revolver which afterward was
identified as the same one with which
she later shot his wife and herself
and pointing it at his head said:
II will shoot you dead if you do not
put your hand on that Bible and swear
that you love me and will tell your
wife"
DR.. Roberts said that he complied.
Met at Church Suppers
After his first meeting with Miss
Lusk, DR.. Roberts said he met her sew
eral times at church suppers. In March
1915, he said, he called her on the tele-
phone to ask her assistance with book
he was writing on animal diseases.
The same day, he said, at her request
he went to her Office in the Y. M. C. A.
to discuss the subject. AS he was leav-
ing he declared she told him "that
she had been expecting letter from q
sweetheart in Milwaukee and that it
made her mad"
"She then asked me if loved her.
he testified. "When l said, Miss Lusk
I honor you and respect you," she said
4 don't care to be honored or respect
ed. There are other things that
want I said what do you want p and
she said, I want you to take me to
Chicago for a good time l said, you
would have lot of respect for mar
ried man who would take you to Chi
cago for good time She said, Other
people do those things, and I don't see
why we can't"
1t was at this point that Miss Lusk
leaped to her feet with the frantic de-
nial. After staring straight at the
witness for moment with tear-illed
eyes she turned and sank sobbing into
her fathers arms.

Steamboat Ossining, Said
to Have Confessed

Wholesale thefts Of Red Cross and
army supplies led to the arrest yester-
day of Captain Frank l.. De Boyelles,
of the steamboat Ossining, by military
intelligence agents, who believe that
he is the leader of ring engaged in
stealing material from the Red Cross
pier. According to United States At
torney Garrett Cotter, Captain De
Boyelles has made full confession,
and thousands of dollars worth Of sup
plies will be recovered.
After being arrested at his home,
1870 Main Street, Ossining, De Boyelles
was brought to New York and ar
raigned before United States Commits
sioner Samuel Hitchcock, who held him
on $4,000 bail for the Federal Grand
Jury. The specific charge against him
is the theft Of 5000 worth of supplies
intended for civilian relief in Russia,
which the detectives said was recov-
cred when his home was searched.
For weeks agents of the military in
tclligence have been searching for a
band of thieves operating at the Red
Cross pier. More than $4,000 worth
of supplies has been stolen, including
sweaters, shoes. surgical instruments
and first aid kits intended for PERISH
ing's men on the battlefront
De Boyelles has been under suspi-
cion, but it was not until yesterday,
when he was seen to express two large
packing cases to himself in Ossining,
that there was sufficient evidence gath
cred to take him into custody.
Captain De Boyelles handled freight
from the Red Cross pier to the out
going steamers. He is fifty years old
and lives with his wife and two chill
dren at the Ossining address.
