In testifying further before Judge Warner in the Superior Court this morning in the divorce action of John A. Bullard against Margaret Bullard with a cross-complaint by the wife alleging infdelities with women named and unnamed since 1911, Mrs. Bullard directly controverted the tes- timony given on the stand by MT. Bullard on Thursday concerning their marital relations.
 She stated that she had no knowl- edge that MT. Bullard was married at the time he went through a marriage ceremony with her in St. Joseph. Mich. She knew nothing of it until they went to a priest to have the marriage blessed when MT. Bullard admitted the previous marriage to the priest. Mrs Bullard quietly dressed, speaking in a well modulated, pleas ing voice, was at times visiIbly af fected by the evidence she was giving especially that with reference to the abuse she had suffered at the hands of her husband.
 MT. Bullard did not admit the truth of the matter to her personally until they were spending a weekend in Chicago after he had been granted a divorce from his former wife. They were married again in Jersey City, N. J., in 1903 and not long after the first Mrs. Bullard appeared in that place and had them both arrested. Mrs. Bullard was released as she had her marriage certificate while MT. Bullard was held.
 At this time according to her tes- Etimony Mrs. Bullard advanced $1,S00 for counsel fees and to be used in a settlement in lieu of alimony. She also put up a Western Union bond for 1 $1, 900. None of this money was re- turned to her although Bullard prom ised at the time it should be. Attor- ney Alvey Clark of Jersey City han died these proceedings, and a receipt from this attorney which he gave tc Mrs. Bullard was produced as evi- dence.
 She denied absolutely any relations with MT. BuIlard prior to their first marriage and a letter was admitted written by MT. Bullard that stated he knew he had done wrong. She told of a conversation with MT. Bullard ir regard to a certain Lillian" who Is said he had rented an apartment ir Stamford for this woman and she could either keep quiet or get out Mrs. Bullard stated that she had seer

On the front in France the fighting activity has been limited to local Ger man attacks at isolated points, except that the French improved their po- sitions north and northwest of Haul tebray. Against the French along the Matz river the enemy failed. The same result attended a strong effort to penetrate the American lines at xivray, east of St. Mihiel. The French artillery fire broke up the enemy at tack with heavy losses and only small force reached Xivray where it was wiped out by the Americans. An attempt to raid the new American sector in Alsace on Sunday was broken up by machine gun and rife fire

Commissioner BroWnloW Is
Severe in: CONCERNING
Such Landlords.
- -:
DISEASE REQUIRES CARE

No uncertain opinion of landlords
who are too ''hard boiled" to fire up
their furnaces so that TENANTS may
; avoid or may more rapidly recover
from influenza was expressed by
Commissioner Brownlow this morning.
In a letter from Capt. julius 1.
Peyser, acting chief of the housing
and health division Of the War De-
partment.. Commissioner Brownlow's
attention had been called to the fact
that conditions relative to heat in
apartment houses and fats have
reached such proportions that many
people are suffering, and that in a ma
! of influenza, some in the first stages
and others more serious.
Suggests Compulsion.
Capt. Peyser expressed the hope that
Commissioner Browniow would take
up the matter with the health officer
and see If something cannot be done
to force owners and agents of apart
iment houses to furnish heat during the
! emergency.
1T is extremely dangerous under
present conditions not to have heat
| in apartments and houses these chilly
mornings and evenings" said Mr..
Brownlow.
Il cannot understand how even the
most hard-hearted and shameless
profiteer would dare take upon him
self the responsibility OF perhaps
| sending several tenants to untimely
graves by refusing to furnish heat
to save a dollar or two on his coal
bill
| Il am sure such man, if he exists
! in the District of Columbia will be
visited with the condemnation Of all
1Isht-thinking men and women.
| Il am advised by. the health. officer
that ON these cold mornings and
/ evenings heat is necessary. No action
