the Haeberlin law with its many anti

fact that the national parliament had
adopted the measure last December By
vote of ll8 to IS.
Among the provisions of the law
regarded by the workers as obnoxious
were clauses curtailing the right to
strike and infringing upon the liberty
of the press. Under the cloak Of seek

WANTED DOUGLAS TO WORK.
CONTINUED from Page One

that Douglas had been a very peculiar
boy nd had not permitted his parents
70 know anything of his affairs. He had
resented any interference by them what
ever.
On first taking the stand Mrs. Wood
house testified that the first she learned
of Douglass relations with Mrs. McClel-
Ian was when the alienation suit was
brought. Attorney Darling then went
through the specifications in the declara-
ton and Mrs. Woodhouse denied all of
the allegations.
She stated that Douglas was never
told by her ard she was sure by his
father that in the case of his marriage TO
Dorrit, any financial support would be
withdrawn from him. I'VE had moth
ng to do with it. was the testimony.
Mrs. Woodhouse testified that Douglas
had his own money and managed his
awn affairs She also testified that Mr..
Douglas go into some business and work
up from the bottom of the ladder as she.
Mrs Woodhouse said that on a few oc-
easions she had tried to talk over mat
sers with Douglas but he always re-
ented it to the point where she had de-
listed. She did not approve of his sport
ing career in 1919. nor did his father.
They would have liked to have Douglas
settle and live happy life.
When asked by Attorney Darling If
she ever did anything to break up the re-
iations between Dorrit and Douglas,
Mrs. Woodhouse replied My conscience
is clear on that subject / never did
anything by act or word that would spoil
their happiness"
Mrs. Woodhouse on cross-examination,
stated that she was not impressed that
anything out of the ordinary was taking
place in Washington when Douglas
brought Lillian Mcclellan to the apart
ments of herself and husband and intro
duced the young woman TO them. She
admitted that later when all the young
people were at home. she thought it
would be nice to invite Lillian over for
the weekend as she was in the vicinity.
The witness testified that when Doug
'as left Hunters Home and went into the
Canadian woods she saw no signs of his
being under any great mental struggle.
Yesterday afternoon the prosecution in
its examination of the witnesses made
a considerable point of presenting a
check, written by Mrs. +. F. Van
Deusen and which was claimed to have
been cashed in the Merchants National
bank in September, 1910, just before
Dorrit went to New York at the time of
the marriage. The check was drawn for
$500. The only testimony regarding
any business transactions which had
taken place previously We're regarding
meeting in the directors room and all
the employees of the bank had previously
testified that they cashed no check at
that time.

RUTLAND, HAVEN
FOR BOOTLEGGERS
Stopping Point for Liquor Traffic by
Air, Say New York
DRY" Agents.

RUTLAND, Nov. 29.-InformatioA
received from federal dry investigators
in New York indicates that for several
months Rutland has been a stopping
place for aerial bootleggers. If this is
a fact it is certain that federal and
state officials here, who have to do with
the enforcing of the liquor laws, have
been kept in ignorance of the fact, it is
pointed out. The only dope that any
Rutlanders had on the project came in
rumors last September when two avi-
ators were injured and taken TO the hos
pital. They refused to give their names.
and departed from Rutland, leaving
their machines behind. They evidently
did not have any money as they went
TO an official and tried 10 borrow SO
on their plane, saying that when they
got back to New Jersey they would re-
turn the cash. The official did not fall
for the loan but some one evidently did
for the men left Rutland and that is the
last that has been heard from them.
Yesterday came a story from New
York that one aviator was transporting
LIQUOR from Montreal to New York for
$50 per case. He claimed that his route
was from Long Island to Albany, \. Y,
and from Albany to Rutland, Vt, which
he said was a stopping place. From Rut-
land he goes directly north along the
edge of Lake Champlain TO Montreal, he
claims.
His story is as follows:
Rutland. VT. is the stopping place of
the air feet engaged in bringing in the
liquor. A field has been fixed up there
50 that the flyers can get fuel and other
supplies.
MY route was from Long Island
