Chief Justice Clark and member? of the court are bending every effort towards closing up the sensational case of ' Mrs. Percy B. Fleming against her husband for the possession of their two children. Interest centered tu- day In the unshaken testimony of Mrs. Fleming kn her own behalf and that of M. W. Tyree, whpm Mr. Fleming has seen fit to bring Into the case as an intimate friend of his wife. Mr. Tyree Is a distinguished photographer, being secretary of the National Pho tographers' association. Mrs. Fleming reviewed her trials with her husband, due to his exces sive drinking and Jealousy. At Inter vals she was all but overcome. She had had striven In every way to avoid her husband's Jealous disposi tion In her association with his friends. He had introduced her to Tyree a month after their marriage as his best friend. This was In Ty ree's studio. Then they met at social ' gatherings and he and Kartell Wise were freotiently Invited to their home ly Mr. Fleming. Bhe recounted Instances heretofore In evidence when her husband was drinking and Tyree and Wise tried to aid Flensing and her. Also of the times when Tyree was 'at their house intoxicated. She reviewed her rela tions with John Winder. Jr.. denying undue intimacy, and telling of having asked Winder to not Join her alone anywhere on account of her husband's Jealousy. She testified that the serv ants Introduced in this trial were ab jectly under the domination of her husband.

It is stated that Ramsay MacDon iflcation of either assertion is possible I aid and Arthur Henderson, labor have answered their call to stop work. Managers of the railways, how ever, say these figures are grea'v exaggerated. There is no method by which ver- hnt the fact is patent that the rail way service all over the country Is completely demoralised, even a lim ited passenger service being possible only with the greatest difficulty. Never before have the ministers of a British government made such oar nest efforts to ward off a great labor war; yet tonight they have been un able fifty a movement that prom ises to entail Inconvenience, possibly misery, to millions of people. Armed Camp. London has the appearance of an armed camp, for on all sides are 'o be seen soldiers In khaki, rifles In hand and leaden bullets In their; belts, while from the, dome of St Paul's the engineers are keeping In communication with the general staff by hellographlc signals In the day time and by electric, flashes at night. Undeterred by their failure on Thursday to effect a settlement the whole of today! was spent by Premier Asqulth, David Lloyd-George, chan cellor of the exchequer, and Sydney Buxtim. president of the board )f trade, in fruitless conferences with the leaders on both sides. An official statement Issued at the home office late tonight says the strike has developed all over the country and produced a widespread, though only partial dislocation of the railway service. It adds that as far as present Information goes over two thirds of the railway men remain at their posts and the companies are re ceiving numerous applications . for .u.lnm.nt. ...i - serious disorders and that the mili tary authorities have the situation thoroughly under control. It also re fers to the settlement of the London leaders In the house of commons, and other men mlgh in union ( circles shared the effort to Induce the men'! executive to accept the government' proposals, but without success. The negotiations, however, will be re sumed tomorrow. To Offer Prayer. The Archblehop of Canterbury has Issued a special prayer (or eessa tlon of the strife which will b used in all' the churches tomorrow and Sunday. Broadly speaking, the strike U most effective In the north of England where many towns are completely Isolated, and In the south of Wales. On the whole there Is much less die order than had been expected, only sporadic conflicts arising from Intlml datlon of strlkekra by pickets at tacks on trains and signal boxes, the cutting of wires, etc. Prices of foods, as far as London Is concerned, either In the hotels, restaurants or In the stores, show but little change. Tonight the railway companies an nounced that all their excursion trains had been withdrawn from st vice. This will make the usual week end trips to the country by the pop ulace impossible.

Renewed protests against the Issuing of pre liminary cotton estimates by the agri cultural department were made in the senate today by Senator Smith of South Carolina. He presented tel egrams from agrlcuJtural states de claring the government estimate of a record breaking cotton crop was not torne out. Senator Smith Introduced a new ; resolution calling upon the secretary of agriculture to muke an immediate investigation and report conditions of j the cotton crop. Senator Smith de- ! clared that the cotton market dropped ' 120 a bale on the strength of the government's reports of a three mil lion bales Increase In this year's crop. : This estimate was made before June 22, before part of the crop was out of the ground. He said ha protested to Secretary Wilson and was inform ed that the secretary did not know the preliminary report had been is sued, and that it would not occur again. But on August 2, Senator Smith added, another glowing prellm Jfcfiary report was issued. SjjP "I should hate to draw in the sen ate of the United States," added Senator- Smith, "the conclusion that I feeJ might be drawn from this re markable report of the agricultural department. Either the commission ers of all the cotton states, men right on the ground and familiar with con ditions, are utterly mistaken, or else the agricultural department Is wrong in its deductions that there will be a record crop this year."

Atwood even made headway un til he was 30 miles ahead of the train. As soon as the passengers were aware of the aeroplane's headway they rushed eagerly to the windows. Train dispatchers who were keeping account of the airman s progress, shouted to tbe passing train: "He's thirty miles ahead and gain ing on you." The train crew were aware of At- wood's gain on them, but It was not i made known whether they whipped up extra speed.

Dr. Wiley today finished the pre sentation of his side of the contro versy which Is raging In the depart ment. He declared today he would qo me legal work of the Bureau now carried on by Solicitor McCabe. of the department, for one-hundredth part of the present cost if he were only given a legal officer and a stenog rapher of his own. He had been asked how he would setle the Internal warfare in the department of agri culture.

He told of Associate Chemist Duniap telling Secretary' Wilson dur ing Dr. Wiley's absence that work for the United States pharmacopoeia was being done In the bureau and ex plained that congress made this phar macopoeia the standard for drugs. Dr. Wiley said the work done had cost 857. He was forced to stop it when Solicitor McCabe said it violated the law. Many details were taken up by At torney Davis for Dr. Wllev. Th. .t. riess wss asked about the statement of Solicitor MeCsbe that few drug cases were reported by the bureau -f -h n Istry for prosecution. Dr. Wiley re plied that there were few c-as pre pared because many lines of Inquiry were taken out of his hands od turned over to the Remsen ref jr.-e board.
