Henry Lawrence was a very prominent
and wealthv man. It was with this man s
alleged mistress that the jury decided
that Batonyi was guilty.
What Elevator Boy Saw.
The plaintiff Introduced several wit
nesses to establish this charge against
the defendant and Mrs. Lawrence. A
negro elevator boy In the apartment
house. 22 Central Park West, testified
that early Jn the evening of December 19.
ISuT. Batonyi called to seo Mrs. Law
rence, went to her apartment and entered
it. Ho oaid that shortly thereafter Mrs.
lawrencs went out into the street, but
returned in a short time. He testified
that upon her return Batonyi admitted
Mrs. Ijiwrence to her apartment and
that Batonyi was In his shirt-sleeves at
that time.
The boy also testified that he remained
on duty until after 11 o'clock that night
and that up to that hour Batonyi had
not left the woman's apartment. The
testimony also disclosed that Mrs. Law
rence's only servant was out that even
ing and that, when she returned to Mrs.

dim one In the hull.
Frank Wort's Anger Aroused.
It was during a coaching trip on the
box of the public coach Good Times that
Batonyi met Mrs. Burke-Roche. then di
vorced from her first husband, an Kng
lish public man. A brief courtship ended
in their marriage in August. IDkS. A
year later the news was broken to Frank
Work. The aged millionaire flew into a
passion. Batonyi alleges, and threatened
that unless his daughter began steps to
free herself he would disinherit her.
Soon afterward Mrs. Batonyi began an
action for divorce. The husband retali
ated by bringing a counter-suit. In which
he named 11 co-reepondents. He also
sued his wife's father, her sister and her
brother-in-law. her cousin and Mr. Work's
confidential secretary, 'claiming damages
aggregating ll.jfie.unu for the alienation
of his wife's affections. These actions
are pending.

Made for Economy.
I NE.V YORK. Oct. 20.-Fierre S. Du
pont. treasurer of the E. I. Dupont-de
Nemours Powder Company, which the
Government is trying to convict for
alleged restraint of trade under the
Sherman anti-trust law. took the stand
today when the suit was resumed here
, before a United Slates examiner. He
told of the merger of the Dupont and
. Laflin & Rand companies, but denied
that there was any attempt to monopo-
llze the powdfT business of the United
Mates.
.one great reason for merging; the
companies, he declared, was the econo
my that would result. He denied that
there was any destructive competition
carried on by his company against
rival concerns.
Mr. Luipont said his company' had
furnished the powder used in all the
wars of the United States and other
countries during; the last century. He
said the company controlled 36 per cent
of the black powder manufactured by
companies that the Dupont and Laflin
& Rand companies controlled.

CARPET SOLDIERS SAD
PROSPECT OF CAMPAIGN" IX
FINLAND SPREADS DISMAY.
Crack Regiments to Hold Down
Country Resistance Will
Only Be Passive.
ST. PETERSBURG, Oct. 20. The threat,
enlng situation in Finland has spread dis
may in St. Petersburg society, owing to
the prospect of the officers of the crack
regiments of the guard being called upon
to pasa the Winter in the bleak barracks
of the cantonments of Finland, instead of
participating in the gayeties attendant
upon the return of the court to this city.
No orders have been Issued for the dis
patch of troops to Finland, beyond those
already on the way to the grand duchy,
according to an officer of the staff, but
word has passed to the officers of seven
elite regiments to hold themselves ready
for a Winter campaign. It is rumored
that some of the regiments may leave
here next week and will be distributed by
detachments in the various towns.
A prominent Finnish official said today
that open resistance to Russia's demand
for an annual military contribution by
Finland was entirely out of the question.
He believed there would simply be a pass
ive refusal to appropriate money for the
national defense and that little headway
would be made in the collection of the
amount until that work was placed In the
hands of the Russians.
The official considered the annexation
of the eastern portion of Viborg province
settled, and that this would lead to the
general emigration of. Finnish residents to
the new frontier.
HUNGRY INDIANS RESTLESS
Chippcwas, Starving, Threaten to
Disperse in Montana.
HELENA. Mont.. Oct. 20. If the much
needed help for the band of Chippewa
Indians, which, the Washington dis
patches say, has been ordered, does not

from Dakota to the Pacific Coast.
The commandant at Fort Harrison has
received orders to give $100 worth of sup
plies to the Indians, but meanwhile the
band is1 restless, and is preparing to. dis
perse over the country. The Indians are
in a resentful mood at present, and de
clare that they have been kept penned
up all Summer orj promises, and nothing
has been done for them, with the result
that Winter is approaching and they have
made absolutely no provision for It. Their
ponies are starved, and they themselves
secure on an average but one meal a
day.

EXCLUSION MAY BE USED
President Taft Vested With' Power
to Prohibit Importation oI Any1
Article Senator Aldrlrh's As
surance Does Not SatUfy.
WASHINGTON. Oct. 20. Drastic meas
ures, including the exclusion of Importa
tions from any country unjustly discrim
inating against this country, may be
found necessary by the President, should
this country adopt retaliatory tariff meaa
ures against France.
While so far this Government has re
ceived no official Information of the In
tention of France to operate a maximum
tariff against this country upon the ter
mination, on October Si. of the com
mercial agreement, officials here are will
ing to admit that there is some danger
of the two countries applying their maxi
mum rates against each other.
The exclusion power is furnished in
section 5 of this tariff act of August 30.
1S10. Tills section empowers the Presi
dent, in case American goods are un
justly discriminated against by any coun
try, absolutely to prohibit the importa
tion into the United States from that
country of any article he may see lit
to name.
AI.DKICH ASSURES FOREIGNERS
France, Looking Out for Her Own
Interests, Reprets Tariff.
PARIS, Oct. 20. The exact assurances
given by Senator Aldrich during his re
cent talks with government officials re
garding Franco-American tariff relations
and with particular reference to the In
terpretation of section two of the now
American tariff law, are revealed in a
book, out today.
M. Cruppl. ex-Minister of Commerce,
who favor active French commercial ex
pansion, in the book quotes Senator
Aldrich as saying that President Taffs
Interpretation of "undue discrimination"
did not mean that France must neces
sarily grant 11 her mlnimums, but only
that the treatment of American products
"must be reciprocally Just and reason
able," and that naturally It was expected
that France would give the United States
the same treatment as other active com
petitors In the matter of French trade.
M. Cruppl adds that Senator Aldrich's
conciliatory assurances are extremely
welcome, but that after all France must
first consider her own Interests.
M. Cruppl contends that the policy of
negotiation Is the commercial policy of
the future and regrets that the United
States in her splendid isolation, "snaps
her fingers at the world."

is a voluntary affidavit made by R. Clay
Jackson, a mining engineer residing In
this city. Jackson in his affidavit says
he has known De Lara for two years,
and never In any conversation has heard
De Lara make an anarchistic utterance.
All of De Lara's writings and speeches,
recites the affidavit, have been of a
scientific and social character, and in
them De Lara sought changes In gov
ernmental forms by means of the ballot.
Can Stay if Proves Right.
As far as the local authorities know,
the Mexican government has no desire
for De Lara's return. The immigra
tion officials say that. If he caa show
that his convictions as to the existing
forms of government and his general
conduct are not objectionable as meas
ured by the standard applied to every
alien, he may remain here Indefinitely
If he does not violate other laws.
"My duty in the matter Is plain,!' said
Inspector Ridgeway today. "I received
a telegram from the Department of
Commerce and Iabor to hold the sus

WASHINGTON. Oct. 20. The Depart
ment of Commerce and Labor has no
documents to forward to the counsel
for L. Gulterrex de Lara, who Is under
arrest at Los Angeles on the charge of
being an anarchist and of being In the
United States without having been in

that one of the reasons for the arrest
was De Lara's secret entrance into the
United States. Consequently there would
be no official documents on file at
Washington showing when he entered.
