and they poured forth a touch

said.
The story had all the ear
marks of truth and so Chief
Maring told them to go to a
restaurant and have some coffee
and cakes on him. He
telephoned the proprietor and
told him TO charge the bill to
him.
Mhen the bill was presented
Chief Maring nearly fell off his

Col. Dennistoun Says He
Could Not Control Her
MoraIs-TelIs Of Loves
By DAVID Nj. CHURCH,

LONDON, March 16.-Colonel
Ian Dennistoun took the witness
stand today and enlivened an al
ready brisk session with further
details of his wife's alleged inti-
macy with other men.
His testimony was in rebuttal to
that of Mrs. Dorothy Dennistoun,
who said that before she divorced
him she was called on for "love
sacrifices in his behalf and for
loans she now seeks to recover.
Colonel Dennistoun first apollo
gized for his deafness, saying that
he had been unable to catch all Of
the testimony.
Testifying of his former wife's
relations with Oscar Senhouse, one
of the many men mentioned by
Dennistoun's counsel, the Colonel
said that while he was a captain
of the Grenadier Guards he came
off guard duty one day and found
his bed had been slept in.
Confessed, He Testifies.
He asked his wife who had oc-
cupied it and she told him Oscar
Senhouse. She said Senhouse had
lost his key and been unable to get
home, so she had taken him to
her flat.
"My wife later admitted init
macy with Senhouse, the colonel
said. -
At that time, though, the colonel
continued, he thought nothing of
Senhouse's presence in the fiat.
He later heard brother officers link
ing his wife's name with Senhouse
and charged her with intimacy
with him.
She admitted she was very fond
of Senhouse and had been intimate
with him, Dennistoun said.
The witness explained that the
portion of his letter to his wife in
1920, reading, you loved some one
else within a few months of our
marriage" referred to the Senhouse
incident.
Required More Than One.
Il didn't take a strong line of
action in the matter because my
marriage was against my fathers
will, but if l had chosen / could
have divorced my wife in 1911" he
said.
There wasn't any use of taking
any attitude" he continued. She
was much a more dominent figure
than [ was, all the way through.
There was nothing for me to do. She
gave me to understand that she Ie-
quired more than one mans love"
DennistOun said that he and his
Wife remained on merely friendly
terms for several months after their
marriage.
While he and his wife and Sen
house were staying with Dennis
toun's uncle in Ballindalloch, Scot
land. in 1911, a servant told he had
found Mrs. Dennistoun in bed with
Senhouse.
Made Up Her Mind.
"Mrs. Dennistoun denied it, he
testified, and said she had only
been sitting on the bed. She later
admitted to me that she had been
on a motor trip through Wales
with Senhouse. She was having d'f.
ficulty in making up her mind
whether she would come to Jamaica
with me or 60 to Australia with
Senhouse. Finally she thought shed
better stay with me.
"My wife always told me every
thing--where she'd been, what she
did. Once she said she was going

The comedy that colored the
somber drama of Woodrow Viii
sons middle life was set in
191O-a romping, knock-about
interlude with the New Jersey
Irish; coming as gala relief
after the tragedy Of his Prince
ton defeat, and before the pow
erful morality play, reminiscent
somewhat of Prometheus, that
hurried Wilson, as test Of his
faith and as a punishment for
stealing its fire from the gods,
into the lonely, clouded days that
marked his exit. To understand
the comedy, we must 60 back In

reappear as the Roosevelt poll
cies. And the first decade Of
the new century brought with it
q pandemonium of voices clam
oring for economic adjustment
IN our national business, for
political reform which would
give the average citizen more
power in the control of Govern
ment. The damned waters of
national progress, that for three
decades following the civil war
had been held by bigoted par
tisanahip sustaining greedy in
dividualism, were bursting their
bounds, and the old economic and
political structors of America
was crumbling in the flood. A
new nationaIism, later to be
known as q new freedom, was
rising in the hearts of the
people.

The frame home of Epy De

William C. Fowler, District Health
Officer, said today. The four
teen children and one adult living
in the house will be made
homeless.
De Voc, found suffering with
smallpox, is confined to the
smallpox hospital. The fifteen
others are under a sixteen-day
confinement in the District quaran-
tine station. A yellow. placard
adorns the door of the home.
House Found Filthy
I'm all my thirty years experience
in the Health Department, l have
never encountered such a filthy

surprised that in a civilized coun-

Doctor Fowler said il is irnpOs.

The plight of the two families
was discovered Saturday. The
department was called upon to re.
move a case of "erysipeIas" from
the house to a hospital. Edward
Newman, colored. driver for the de.
partment. was sent out. He, how.
ever. did not take the man, but in
stead called UP Doctor john T.
Sprague. chief OF the contagious
disease bureau.
This is a case of smallpox" he
reported. Newman's work has
made him familiar with the disease.
Doctor Sprague visited the home

| Voc was removed to the hospital.
! Doctor Sprague then returned for
the children.
Apparently they had been in
contact with few people outside

they saw me, they all ran into the

In Control Of Irish,


Now for his immediate politi-
cal environment, namely the
Democratic party in New Jersey
and more particularly in Mercer
county. 1t was outwardly in the
control Of the Irish. They held
the power as bosses, State and
local. They held all the offices,
I'm which they took orders from
the industrial corporations and
the financial concerns that con-
trolIed the Industrial corporations.
So the Irish represented the
pIutocracy Of the time and place,
but the control yelled. and from
year to year many a fine row
ragged among the Irish for leader
ship, with no thought OF turning
the State over to the voters for
an experiment in self-government.
In I906-08. the American revolu-
ton Of the decade touched New
Jersey. 1t came first in the Re.
publican party and was called
the New Idea. 1t was a faction
led by George l.. Record. Everett
Colby, Gilbert Roe, and a half a
dozen strong men who determined
20 take the fight for free govern
nlent, which was waging in the
West, into New Jersey.
In a Sad Minority
Naturally the fight attracted
the Irish and they, being for the
most part Democratic, made the
fight in their party. But they
were in a sad minority. The
State Democratic machine was
in the hands of what was known
as the "Jim-Jim'' crowd and
Little Bob" Davis. meaning the
honorable James Smith, former
United States Senator. his kins-
man, the Honorable James
Nugent. and the Honorable Robert
Davis, city collector of Jersey
City, all honorable men and vice
regents of Mammon in New
Jersey.
The division in the Republican
ranks. due to the new idea, made
1t seem likely that the Demo
Gratis would win the governorship
in 1910 and possibly the United
States Senatorship.
In the summer of 1910 Wilson
came to New York and attended
a conference which was partly
sponsored by Colonel George Har.
Vey.
Some others in the conference
represented the Democratic ma.
chine of New Jersey: Little Bob
Davis and possibly the two Jims
Jim Nugent may have been al
the conference; stories differ.
These conferences were authorized
to tell Doctor Wilson that there
was a real demand for him as a
candidate for governor, meaning,
Of course, that Colonel Harvey's
friends were anxious to put vii
son in the race and had per
Euaded the Jim-Jim machine, one
way or another, to accept him
And that meant money to finance
the campaign; PROBABLY not much
"a few thousands. OF course
Wilson knew little OF the Tnasonr,

SUFFOLK, Va, March 16.-
A bald eagle that records show
has frequented the Lake Cahoon
section, near here, since 1850,
is recovering from slight wounds
after its capture by Game War
den Powell and will be sent to
the State game farm.
It's large size, with a wing
spread of 80 inches, indicates
that it is a female of the spe-

The bird has nestled annually
