Evidence all in
In DOrritt-W OOdhOuse
Alienation Case

Burlington, VT, Nov 29-Letters of
Dorrit Stevens to her prospective
husband, Douglas Woodhouse, were
introduced and read in part in
Chittenden county court this after

defense in the million dollar aliena-
ton suit brought by Dorrit Van
Deusen Stevens Woodhouse against
Eer husbands parents, Mr.. and Mrs.
Lorenzo E. Woodhouse of Burling
ton and New York City. After the
defense had rested, there was brief
rebuttal in which the plaintiff took
the stand and denied that her aunt
had said on a certain occasion short
ly before the marriage, that Douglas
Woodhouse would "either marry or
settle" The plaintiffs rebuttal tes-
timony completed the evidence in The
case, which has been in progress
since October 81.
Extracts from the plaintiffs letters
to the man whom she later married,
were read to the jury by Attorney
Enright for the defense to strengthen
the defendants claim that the plain
tiff was attempting to force the mar
riage, the plaintiff told her husband
to-be that you haven't anything to
do but wash your face and stand on
both feet" and again she wrote: Il
suppose you take me for what I have
been, an easy fool in regard to your
behavior"
The arguments in the case will be-
gin Friday morning.

"a VOTES TO SPARE

Washington, Nov. .9.-The admin
istration shipping bill. around which
was waged the most bitter partisan
fight of the present Congress, was
passed today by the House with "a
votes to spare. The final count was
2OS and 1874.
Sixty nine Republicans broke
away from their party organization
and opposed the bill. while four Dem
Ccrats supported it. There never was
much doubt about the result, but the
margin by which it went through was
much lower than estimated publicly
given by most of the leaders.
In the face of threats to delay, If
not prevent its passage by the Sem
ate. the measure will 60 Monday to
the Senate committee which plans to
accept it as passed by the House and
take the fight to the floor next week.
The motion to re-commit and to
strike out of the provision relating
to the tax exemption and direct COM
rensation made by Representative
Hardy, Texas, ranking Democratic
member of the merchant marine COM
mittee. was defeated 215 to 172
Chairman Greene, of the merchant
marine committee, and Representa-
tive Edmonds Pennsylvania, ranking
Republican, who shouldered the fight
through the House. declared tonight
that despite amendments the meas
lure would have to pave the way for
putting the American flag at high
place on the seas. The general view
on both sides was that had an at
tempt been made to pass 1t as franz
cd, it would have been swept to over
whelming defeat.
The shouts Of approval on the
Republican side when the final vote
was announced, was not half so
hearty as that given Representative
Mondell. Wyoming, the Republican
leader, who. in a closing address,
pleaded earnestly with his party to
stand behind the president and give
the bill sweeping majority.
The House, in the last stage of. the
battle. defeated an amendment by
Representative Lanham, Democrat,
Texas, designed to give the measure
what he declared was it's proper
name. Mr.. Lanham wanted to change
the title of merchant marine act to
the ship subsidy act of 1922.
As passed by the House, no line
was left in the bill relating to the
subject of liquor selling on American
ships. When the question was reach
ed yesterday in committee Of the
whole. the Bankhead out -and-out
r, ohibition amendment was put aside
and a substitute offered by Mr.. Ed
monds, accepted. 1t stipulated that If
a ship, on any particular voyage, per-
mitted the transportation Of LIQUOR, it
could not share in a subsidy for that
voyage.
The Edmonds amendment went out
On demand for separate vote in
the house by Representative Cram
ton. Republican. Michigan, an advo-
cate of prohibition enforcement. who
contended that it was not as strong
as existing law, and might be con-
strued by some. as wiping out the
present statute.
A voice from the shores of the

was lifted today against the bill, Rep
resentative Andrew, Republican, of
that state. declaring it offered a dan
gerous precedent. which. IL adopted

STATE Dept. SET S
MORGENTHAU RIGHT
ON OIL cos STATUS

Washington, Nov. 29.-(By A. P.)
Published attacks upon the posi-
ton the American government is
taking at the Lausanne conference,
attributed to Henry Morgenthau,
ambassador to Turkey under the
Wilson administration. prompted the
State Department to issue formal
denial today aimed rather at the i'm
plications involved in the printed
version Of Mr.. Morgenthau's remarks
than at the specific allegations they
contained.
The specific statement involved
alleged cooperation of the State de-
partment with the Standard Oil COM
pany to obtain remuneration by the
Dutch Shell company, a British con-
Germ of a portion of its interests in
Palestine, in favor of the American
company. The departments state
ment said Mr.. Morgenthau had been
either incorrectly quoted or misin-
formed in this connection.
The general implication read by
department officials into Mr.. Nor
genthau's remarks was that the
American government was chiefly
concerned at Lausanne or elsewhere
in obtaining commercial opportuni
ties in the Near East for American
oil companies. In that connection
the departments statement said:
1.-The implication in this Mr.. Nor
genthau's) statement. was vigorous
ly denied by the department.
TO nv fhc do
partment which could possibly be
referred to in the published account
the statement continued. was its
mandate notes asking for equal OPP
portunity for American enterprise in
mandate territories, an attitude
which this administration has taken
as well as the prior administration. !"
with respect ito Palestine sepa-
rately." the statement added, 1.-The
only action taken there was to OBJ
tain from the British government
the recognition of the legal rights
already acquired by the Standard
Oil company in Palestine through
permits which had been issued to
| that company, and the department
did no more than it does for any
american citizen in supporting. its
| legally acquired rights"
! AS to the general attitude Of the
| American delegation at Lausanne, it
can be said outhoritatively that in
structions to Ambassador Child make
it very plain tkat a paramount in
| terest of the United States relates to
| humanitarian considerations, such
as the rights of religious and racial
minorities, the protection of educa-
| tional institutions and similar ques-
lions in Turkey.
1t is strongly hoped in Washing
| ton that the Lausanne meeting will
result in general agreements on these
| points.
AS to the open door policy of the
United States as applying to Turkey.
the view taken here appears to be
that the United States probably
would be inclined to endorse dis
| position of the Straits problem that
was agreeable to the European pow
ers, provided it mean equal treat
ment for all nations.
| Aside from these broad outlines of
| policy it is understood that the
| Washington government seeks only
to obtain proper recognition of the
rights Of American business enter
prises to compete against all Corners
in the development Of Turkey, if
they so desire.
