General's Backer Said to Op
pose Dye Protection.
AID TO BILL DEMANDED
Stand Against Pending legislation
to Protect American Industry
Ilcard In Senate.
' WASHINGTON". May 7. (By the As
sociated Press.)-Major-General Wood's
presidential candidacy was the ve
hicle for another shower of fireworks
ia the senate today when Senator
Kenyon, republican of Iowa, charged
that the Du Pont interests virtually
lad threatened to attack the Wood
boom unless Senator Moses of New
Hampshire, one of the general's cam
paign managers, desisted in his oppo
sition to the pending bill to protect
the American dyestuff industry.
The Du Fonts are the largest Amer
ican manufacturers of dyestuffs and
Senator Kenyon, reading, by permis
sion of General Wood and Senator
Moses, a letter to the latter signed
by Charles K. Weston, manager of the
Du Pont publicity bureau, declared
it was "certainly In the nature of a.
fhreat."
Bill Aimed at Germany.
The bill which is described by Its
sponsors as framed to foster an
American dystuff industry and pre
vent Germany regaining a world con
trol of the business with Its poten
tial influence in the production of
war munitions, was apparently having
a quiet time.
Senator Freylinghuysen. republican.
New Jersey, had just finished telling
the senate that pijo-Oerman influ
ences were working to defeat the bill,
boasting that they had prevented the
United States from entering the dye
stuffs field before the war and hoped
to do it again.
Senator Thomas, democrat, Colora-
do, who followed, was also opposing
the measure. when Senator Kenyon
broke in with:
Letter Branded as Threat.
"We have heard of the Influences
at work to defeat this bill," said Sen
ator Kenyon. "Has the senator any
knowledge of the influences at work
to obtain its passage? I have in my
hand a letter addressed to a certain
United States senator who is opposing
this bill and is also one of the man
agers of the candidacy of e. certain
prentleman for president of the United
States, which letter is certainly In the
nature of a threat to the senator in
relation to that candidacy if he does
not cease his opposition to this bill.
That letter is from the publicity bu
reau of the Du Pont company at Wil
mington',' Del."
There was a general awakening of
interest in the chamber and a piling
out o1J cloakrooms as Senator Ken
yon read the letter, as follows:
"Dear Senator Moses: I was among
trie gathering of republicans at the.
playhouse in Wilmington on the night
of April 15 and listened 'with great
interest to your address in support
. of the. candidacy of General Leonard
Wood.' ,
Preparedness Attltnde TIewed.
' "Your exposition of your candl-
date's attitude on national prepared
- ness was particularly interesting, in
asmuch as it showed the general to
be in thorough accord with all of the
' principles involved in the .pending
legislation for the development of
a self-contained coal tar chemical
industry. Wilmington Is interested
deeply in this industry, for no com
munity had closer contact with the
. vital questions of preparedness or
more 'intimate knowledge of unpre
paredness of the country when the
late war broke out.
"The amendment which you have
offered and your active opposition to
the preparedness features of the dye
bill, seem to some of us to be not in
accord with your candidate's oppo
sition or with your fervent appeals to
us to support him, because of his
stand for national preparedness.
"Personally, I want to support Gen
eral Wood, but I find it difficult to
reconcile the two attitudes of one
of his important campaign managers
the one on the floor of the senate
and the other on the public platform
sufficiently to have full faith in his
cause.
"I am outlining a publicity cam
paign to inform the public concern
ing the present status of the proposed
dye legislation. May I ask you to
set me straight as to the apparent
contradiction in your attitude toward
General Wood's candidacy and your
attitude on the dye bill so that I may
be perfectly accurate in what I
write?
"Very truly yours,
"CHARLES K. WESTON.
"Publicity Bureau."
Letter Resented by Moses.
"The letter," resumed Senator Ken
yon, "Is used with the full knowledge
and consent of the senator (Mr.
Moses), who resents it, and I am sure
that I ought to say that the candi
date ror president whom the sena
tor is supporting. General Leonard
Wood, also resents the letter. It
shows the methods that are used to
try to pass this bill. We have the
remarkable spectacle of a United
States senator who Is engaged in
managing a presidential campaign
practically threatened as to what may
happen to that campaign if he does
not withdraw his opposition to this
bill.
"I will say further that in line
with the publicity campaign which
the Du Pont people are carrying on
for this bill there is an article in the
Maufacturers' Record of April 22
. and bear in mind the letter to the
J senator Is dated April 16 an article
entitled 'General Wood is for pre
paredness, but his chief backer Is
strangling the dye bill.'
Asaaalt Made on Senator.
"And then follows an assault on
the senator for his opposition to the
. bill. So there may be no misunder
standing, and that the presentation
. of the letter may not be in any way
considered as an attack on General
Wood, let me say I am informed he
Sv resents the letter as the senator from
New Hampshire resents it, and the
; ' senator has given me the liberty to
use this remarkable letter in this
. senate."
' Senator Moses was out of the
chamber and no reply was made to
Se..ator Kenyon. When Senator
' Lodge asked for a vote Senator King,
; democrat of Utah, objected because
Senator. Moses was not present, and
the senate adjourned without acting.

SEATTLE, Wash., May 7. (Spe-
ial.) Loss of a wife's affection is
worth at least $5000, according to a
Jury in Judge Jurey's department of
superior court. The Jury today re
turned a verdict for this sum in
favor of M. B. Hannum, a restaurant
man. who sued Captain J. G. Wallace,
a tug boat skipper, for 50.000. ' The
Jury consisted of six men and four
women. An agreement was reached
after deliberation of one hour. Trial
of the case had lasted one day.
Hannum charged that his wife,
Charlotte Victoria Hannum, a wait
ress, was entrapped by Captain Wal
lace through the lavish expenditure
of money. The defendant was said
to have presented Mrs. Hannum with
a diamond ring and ellk clothing.
Because of the captain's attentions.
it was alleged, Mrs. Hannum about
January 1, 1920, told her ' husband
she no longer cared for him.
Captain Wallace took the witness
stand and denied any improper inti
macy with Mrs. Hannum.
There also is a divorce suit pend
ing between Mr. and Mrs. Hannum.
They were married January 19, 1916.

of them ever was recovered, he was
said to have responded that bodies sel
dom were found when death had taken
place in deep, cold water.
Officials were said to Incline to the
belief that the one whose name he
could not remember" was either Mrs,
Gertrude Wilson, Mrs. Emily J. Rose
or one who was known to the officers
only as Eleanor.
Mrs. Gertrude .Wilson was a widow
with a young son when in 1917 at Se
attle Watson was said to have mar
ried her, using the name of James P.
Watson, under which he was indicted
here for murder. He left her and the
boy on a farm in the Hood canal re

Officers working pn the case of
Watson today placed little credence
in a statement from Cleveland, O.,
eharging that Watson was the real
murderer of a Mrs. Hattie McCloud,
for which murder Jack O'Nell was
hanged in, 1898.
The officers said Watson's crim
inal career did not extend back
further than 10 years or so. They
said he is now apparently about 40
years old and that he would hardly
have become a murderer 22 years ago,
and continued such a career -for so
long a time without discovery.
The attention of District Attorney
Woolwine was called to the Cleve
land statement, however, and he eaid
he would talk to Watson about it.

Mrs. Ackerman was a resident of
Shelbourne Palls until a few years
ago. She charged that Watson lived
there at the time of the murder of
Mrs. McCloud and that he was then
known as Newton Harvey.
She is planning to get in touch with
Prosecutor Thomas Woolwine of Los
Angeles, to have Watson questioned
in connection with the death of Mrs.
