The doctor, she admitted, was incensed and went to Nova Scotia to try to have the minister unfrocked. Preference for Minister Admitted. "The doctor was under the Influence of drugs." said Mrs. Mohr. "He asked me if I preferred McDougall to him and I told him that the way he was actinic I thought McDougall would have been better, aa he did not touch liquor." Mrs. Mohr admitted that she was "fooled" about her first marriage with the doctor, in Brooklyn, but that she relied on the word of the doctor and took no other precautions. She denied that she had lived with the doctor a year and a half before their marriage. When the doctor told her, she said, that she would have trouble in proving that they were legally married, aa she -ouli not produce the certificate and the man who performed the ceremony was dead, she decided not to live with him another day until there was an other ceremony. Marrtase Performed Later. Mrs. Mohr later said that she and the doctor were married at Lynn. Mass., May II, 1909. The doctor thought it would be best, she said, on account of the children.

She attached his prop erty and refused his request to have the attachment released. Later, the witness said, she signed over her prop erty to the doctor as a result of his threats. "I thought I had a right to get it back again, because he was so cruel to 1 Die," she said. ALFRED CLARK CANDIDATE Aspirations for Douglas County As rcssorshtp Announced. ROSKBURG. Or.. Jan. 17.

WOMEN GET NO HOPE President Declines to Support National Suffrage Move. ATTEMPT TO QUIZ FAILS Mr. Wilson Refuses Courteously to Be Cross-Questioned; Congress ional Union Speakers Ask Part In Preparedness Plans. NEW TOP.K, Jan. !7. Speaking briefly to a delegation of 200 members of the Congressional Union for Woman Suffrage today. President Wilson de clined firmly to support the movement for an amendment to the United States Constitution providing for woman suf frage. He told them he felt the suf frage question should be dealt with by individual states. The President received the suffragists after they had sent him a series of notes and had waited for him for more than an hour at the Waldorf Astoria Hotel, which he made his headquarters on his arrival here early this morning from Washington. Kfforts made by Mrs. Beard, wire or a Columbia University professor, to cross-examine the President on his po sition met with failure. He refused courteously to reply to her queries. The President admitted he had prom ised several months ago to discuss with the leaders of the congress the suffrage Question, but said that other matters of legislation had come up which he thought should take precedence ' over everything else. Silence greeted his reiteration of his opposition to the Federal suffrage amendment, but other portions of his address were marked by applause. Mrs. Tiffanv Dyer. Mrs. Bruere and Mrs. Beard spoke before the President. They asked that while he was work ing out his preparedness programme he should remember that no scheme of de fense would be adequate which did not include the mobilization of women. They asked that while speaking in the Middle West for Nationaot defense ne also advocate woman suffrage. OFFICERS FACE TRIAL COIRTMARTIAL IS PROBABLE FOL LOWING VESTURE IXTO MEXICO.

Mort and Waldron. who led the detachment of soldiers into Mexi can territory to rescue their comrades. Secretary Garrison said positive or ders had been given every officer in the Army not to cross the boundary under any provocation without specific instructions from Washington.

The prompt action taken by Car ranza authorities in returning the two soldiers was regarded by State Depart ment officials as indicative of their desire to prove their innocence and to display their good will toward, this country. BROWNSVILLE, Tex., Jan. 27. The American soldiers captured by Mexi cans yesterday were turned over to day to United States Consul Johnson at Matamoros.
