DR.. DAVID ROBERTS
SQU|RNS ON STAND
Attempts to Make It Appear
He Has Been HOunded by
Defense Attorney

Waukesha. Wis, May S0.-Judge
Martin Lurek, sitting in the murde.
trial of Grace Lusk this afternoon
ordered an investigation to determine
if DR.. David Roberts "ean and viii be
prosecuted on a charge of adultery
which he admits in his testimony in
this ease"
Attorney Henry Hemloek of Wan
kesha was named by the court to
communicate with Chicago attorneys
where adultery is believed to have
staken place.
DR.. David Roberts squirmed under
eross-exlmination today as attorneys
for Miss Grace Lusk, charged with the
murder of his wife, tried to show
violations Of the Mann "white slave''
act in the doctors trips with the
defendant.
Roberts resumed his role as the
the bounded party in his affair with
Miss Lusk. On one trip to Chicago, h
testified, he did not wish to stop ct
the same hotel failed in this, he said,
aud in on effort to persuade her to tage
a separate room.
"Finally 1 got a room with twin
beds in il" he said. "'When she saw
the twin beds, she said: j dom t want
this. Why do you get twin beds, II
you try anything like this on me III
kill YOU"
The sensation this testimony created
in the crowded courtroom as the large
number of women present had barely
settled themselves from another san
sation created by DIR. A. p. Lusk, thu
defendants aged father.
DR.. Roberts had stated he accident
ally met Miss Lusk and her fathei
on an irterurban car en- route to Mil
waukee ard that she cuvetly dropped
Roberts a note asking him to meet he
at a certain hotel in the evening. TIL,
tryst was kept.
"Whlt did you do with yon
father?" RI. Roberts said he aske'
sent him home"
The aged man, with h flash in hi
eyes, shouted in the courtroom
"That's a lie"
Roberts painted Miss Lusk as a cav
woman lover who, he said, struel
him in the face on one occasion whe h
hesitated to assure her she was tn
greatest love in his life.
Miss Lusk sat calmly picking t
pieces q dandelion in che loves ms
he loves me not" fashion.
Roberts again admitted today thei
relations had been illicit, but stout
maintained he had not paid her raj
road fares on Of state trips. He col
fessed, he gave Miss Lusk money q
various times and on nearly ever
trip.
"Did this money cover railroa
fares9" Defense Attorney Henri
Lockney asked.
az suppose that was included; / d
not know" Roberts replied. He coul
not recall wei having purchased he
ticket. Roberts refreshed his memoir
as to dates which the aid Of a littl
notebook he carried with him to til
stand.
Referring to specific jaunts to Oh
cago when Miss Lusk and Robert
stayed ut the same hotel from one I
three da VS. at a time, Lockney asked
her remembered what happened 9
these meetings.
"If you will put your question
direct I would be glad to answer,
said Roberts. 'If you want to kno'
as to intimate relations, I'll answt
yes.v

ladonna, and stramonium, may also
be smoked with advantage.
Useful, also, are preparations OF
opium, the bromides, and chloral,
though these are all dangerous.
To relieve the swelling Of the
mucous membrane, physicians often
give Quinine, strychnia, aptimony
and lobelia and some OF the forms
of electricity are also sometimes
employed.
Serums and vaccines are coming
more and more into use, as means
of treatment, and there are those
who think they have obtained good
results from their use.
We must not forget that the
mental influence has much to do
with the effect Of medicinal sub.
stances and that a medicine which
is skillfully advertised, or is recon-
mended by a friend, may have no
intrinsic value.
Change of residence is the most
valuable means of treatment with
which | am familiar, and in max.

Advance In Stocks
Halted In Wall Street

New York, May 20.-The New York
Evening Sun financial review today
said:
Price movements in today's stock
market demonstrated clearly enough
that the vigorous advance of the past
fortnight or more had temporarily come
to q halt and that the market was en-.
tering into a period of adjustment, the
logical sequence in such a broad upward
swing. The general list receded irregu-
larly. There were moments Of strength,
but early afternoon declines ranged
from ono to three points.
This was attributable not SO much
to definite liquidation as to further SELF
ing for the short account and realizing
sales with an eye to participation in
the buying again when signs of a re-
vival should come.
With the accumulated orders in tho
industrial list executed, stocks in that
class began to give way. The rails,
which had opened firm to strong, did
not yield so readily, although by mid
day they declined in orderly fashion.
The impulses behind the rail movement
was the director general Of railroads.
approval of expenditures by the rail-
roads of the country of nearly n bill
lion dollars on betterments, additions,
and equipment in the current year.
There was a notable stiffening all
along the line in the last hour. Baldwin
rallied sharply to above 80, over six
points up on the day. Recoveries in gen.
eral were a point or more. Steel moved
to around 1909. Prices on either side OF
the Saturday closing level was evenly
divided, Liberty loan bonds were heavy.

IMPORTANT MEETING
OF COUNCIL TONIGHT
Water Company Question Likely
To Come Up For Considera-
ton During Session.

The regular monthly meeting of the
Annapolis City Council will be held
in the Municipal Building tonight.
Considerable interest is manifested
in the meeting of the Council. Fol-
lowing the action of Mayor Strange
in rendering to Mr.. George It. Melvin
the presidency of the Annapolis
Water Company and the institution
OF injunction proceedings by Alder
man John j. Levy, of the Third
Ward, to restrain the Mayor from
making any appointment under the
so-called Duvall Water Bill, it is
more than likely that some further
development in the controversy will
mark the meeting tonight.
If it be the intention of the friends
of Mr. Melvin and the hackers of the
Duvall bill, the next step would
naturally be the effort to proceed
with the election of a minority men,
Der of the Council to the Water

will be made tonight is not definitely
known, but it is certain that keen in
