With UnWaVering Poise
In Seduction Case

NEW CITY, N. Y, Nov. 80
0.NSO.-Charlotte Gibson, Rock
land county society girl faced the
man the State is prosecuting for
her seduction before a judge and
jury.
Taking the witness stand as the
first witness against Sidney Her
bert Homewood, riding master, she
began the exciting drama of her
episode with her former lover.
She told all' without q Quaver.
Charlotte took the stand after
District Attorney Henry v. Steb-
bins charged she yielded to Home
wood because he made it appear
her submission was part of their
troth.
Defendant UnmOved
Homewood listened with stolid
face while Stebbins told how he
had won the confidence of the
society girl by Informing her he
had broken his engagement to
Miss Elizabeth Bishop, of Wheaton
College. Until then, he said, she
would have nothing to do with
him.
Miss Gibson told how she met
Homewood at his riding academy
five years ago, where she came
with her mother for a lesson.
She looked steadily into Home
woods drawn face as the district
attorney inquired:
as this the MANI"
eyes," she declared,
The only time her voice trembled
was when she said "yes, sir" to
the question, Are you unmar.
ried?" She is to be a mother
in three weeks.
Man of Many Parts
Homewood, it appeared from
her story. acted in many capaci-
ties. He taught her how to
drive and to skate. He sold her
a car; he sold and delivered feed
for her horse. At Christmas he
sent her a card speaking of
radiant paths through the new
year." And he sent a box of
carrots to Starlight, her horse.
Early in 1882 Miss Gibson said
Homewood assured her he was
mot engaged to anyone" But it
was not until March, just before
she yielded to intimacies with
Homewood that, he said definitely
his engagement was broken.
District Attorney StebbinS' open
ing told of the girls credulity
when she submitted to the init
macy because she was told it was
"a part of their troth." Stebbins
said Miss Gibson later refused to
try TO avoid motherhood, at Home
woods insistence, threatening sui
cioe instead.
Women Sob in Court
HomeWood, the district attorney
declared, took her riding after
that, and once, when she was
thrown, expressed his satisfaction.
But by June he was quieting hel
with new promises of marriage,
StebblnS said.
When the girls father learned
of his daughters betrayal, the
peoples attorney said, he asked
Honewood to marry her and the
riding master reluctantly agreed.
But he kept putting it off, until
finally the irate father took the
matter to the district attorney.
Several women openly wept as
the girl climbed into the witness
box, and continued as noon recess
was called.

EXTRASESS|ON

BILL 8 VETO
Democrats Must Act to Bal
ance Budget if Hoover
BaIkS Modification

Reports that PRESIDENT hoover
will veto the pending proposal to
legalize beer raised the prospect
today Of a special session Of the
new Congress right after March 4.
| Democratic leaders have hoped
the Administration would help
balance the budget through q tax
on legalized beer at the short
session of the lame duck Con-
greSS.
If this were accomplished, the
Democrats could sit back for nine
months, reorganize the Executive
Branch of the Government, and
be prepared for the next regular
session of Congress in December,
1888.
IF Mr.. Hoover should veto o
beer bill after its enactment at
the short session, there would be
little chance Of a balanced budget
in the first year of the admins
tration of Franklin D. Roosevelt.
Indeed, Mr.. Roosevelt would be
forced virtually to call an extra
session of the new Congress for
the purpose of balancing the bud
get. He would have the choice OF
urging Congress to legalize beer,
as pledged in the Democratic
platform, or of raising new Fed
eral revenue in some other man.
ner.
Opposition Reported
An effort will be made at the
short session by some Admins
tration leaders to gain enactment
of a geenral sales tax, with food,
clothing and necessities of life
exempt. Such proposals have
been defeated overwhelmingly in
the past and there is little likeli-
hood of a change of sentiment in
the lame duck" Congress.
President Hover's opposition to
the legalization of beer was wide
ly reported on Capitol Hill, al
though Republican leaders de-
clined to authorize its publica.
tion. A half dozen Senators, re-
garded as close to Mr.. Hoover,
admitted it privately.
One Republican leader said:
"Mr. Hoover can see no man.

in the outcome Of the recent

''He personally looks upon

HOOVER NOT CONVINCED
Another said:
"The President is opposed to
legalizing beer. He never will
be a party t" weakening prOhi-

All arguments by liberal leaders
that legalization of beer would

SEATTLE, October 3, R)-Cap- tain R:J. Healy, former Nomeite, now commanding the liner Pres ident Roosevelt, reporting to the American Mail Line, revealed the information that Seaman E.

 He said the Madison was ap- proximately mile and ahalf from shore line when rescue par ty approached the beach, the surf was too high to land boat and Bloomberg took a small line and swan to the rocks where the Navada was breaking up. He hauled larger line ashore with life preservers and life bouys and managed to get three surviv- ors through the surf to the boat The heroic action of this Ameri- can seaman is an historical epic of the high seas. All the lifeboat crews volunteered to swim, but Bloomberg was chosen because he was an exceptionally good swim mer.
