introduced strong testimony in be-
half of the husband DR.. L. c. Bishop,
formerly an expert at the state hos
pital, now at Wichita, told the court
that Mrs Stock is likely to undergo
a brain storm at any time when her
! judgment in business and all other
affairs would not be sane and would
make the acquiring OF her property
! by inscriptions parties easy. At pres
ent, he claims, her attitude towards
! her family is biased and unjustified
/ Dispositions Introduced.
| Dispositions from experts in Kansas
| City sanitariums and physicians at
! Maryville, Mo, tend to prove that
Mrs. Stock is cured and capable of at
tending to business affairs. She has
/ been residing al Maryville for the last

The husband declares that during
her spells of insa nifty, Mrs. Stock has
often left home and wandered over the
! country, citing. in particular a trip
she made to st. Joseph, Mo. only a
short time ago without any excuse.
Mrs. Stock was released from the

simply the elimination of Implications

An appeal for a pardon for Mooney,
who was convicted of murder in con-
rection' with the preparedness parade
bomb explosion July %, 1916. in San
Francisco. is pending before the gov
ernor. Recent reports of plans of
labor organizations in Seattle and

demonstration in behalf of Mooney,
coupled with the receipt of many let
ters and kilograms, caused the gov

IT HITS U-B0ATS
If Bold British Stroke Stopped
Those Channels
A Sharp Decline i'm Ships Sunk
Will Result.
U-B0AT CREWS ARE NERVOUS
Morale of BOche Will Be Al
fected by Victory.
Other Submarine Bases 500
Miles Farther OFF.
U-BOAT CREWS ARE NERVOUS
BY i. w. 7. MASON.

New York, April 24.-If the daring
British naval adventure off Ostend
and Zeebrugge has sealed those har-
bors against the passage of submar-
ines, a heavy decline in sinkings OF
merchantmen by U-boats will be the
imm ediate result.
The only other ports German sub
marines can use for their bases If Os-
tend and Zeebrugge have been bottled
up, are those off the German coast.
Between Belgium and Germany. the
Dutch coast intervenes, which would
make it necessary for the submarines
to travel SEQ miles northward of the
Belgian harborS before they reached
friendly water.
Will Lower Boche Morale.
The distance from Ostend to the
Irish coast is only six hundred miles
and it is within this area that most
of the submarine attacks are made.
BY adding 800 miles to the U-boat
journeys, the reserve power of the
piratical craft would be seriously dis
turbed. At the same time, the nervous
strain, which is known to be an i'm
portant reason for the decreasing eff
cheney of the submarines crews would
be much increased. The increa sed 800
miles of travel would be thru the
tating continuous operations under
the surface, which are highly destruc-
tive of morale
May Use Depth Bombs More.
An enforced addition of one-third
to the journeyiugs of the U-boats
would make them by that much the
more liable to attack by the new depth
bombs which are giving such satisfac-
tory results IT, therefore, the Belgian
submarine bases have been b!Gcked
there is certain to be an important rise
in the curve showing the dest ecction
| # the undersea craft.
Should the number of submarine
victims announced next week and the
week following show a striking de-
cline. it may be taken for granted thai
the British navy has been successful
| l.: its purpose. If, however. it is Gem
"nstrated that the initial attack wa.
not wholly successful, the possibilities
to be gained may well cause the allies
| to try once more
