Simmons Exposes Iniquity Of Republican Plan. Washington, May 23. In an ar raignment of the republican mr.jority in the senate today for its attempt to impose a high tax upon the medicine of the poor and rich alike, Senator Simmons attacked the proposed rate of a 45 per cent duty on calomel, de claring that in certain sections of the United States calomel is absolutely essential to the health of all the peo ple. He showed how utterly without excuse is the proposed tariff.: "Calomel is a medicine of all the people, and is in some sections of the United States absolutely essential to health," said he. "Next to quinine: I consider calomel the most important medicine used generally. Personally, I do not believe it a wise public poli cy to tax genuine medicines. I have always entertained that view. But if these medicines must be taxed at all, even for the simple purpose of rev enue, I think they ought to be very moderately taxed." Senator Simmons showed that the duty on calomel is absolutely unnec essary and unjustifiable for these rea sons! First, that the American, pro duction of mercurial t salts out of which calomel is made is 1,143,800 pounds, and that the importation of these mercurial salt3 from foreign countries amounts to only 120 pounds, and he declared that he could not see how a domestic production of over 1, 000,000 punds could need protection against a foregn importation amount ing to 120 pounds, valued at only $138 for its total; second, that it cannot be claimed that the American producer of calomel is being hurt by low for eign price, for the reason that since 1910 the foreign price of calomel has increased from 66 cents per pounds to $1.50 per pound. "Is" it not quite absurd and affront ing to our intelligence, therefore, to claim, that a portective duty is neces sary to safeguard the American pro ducer?" be declared.; ' i-. . Senator Simmons declared this high' and unreasonable duty on calomel was designed and ' could be designed only 'to raise the profits of the manu facturers and increase the prices of this medicine.

Nelson, "slate king" of Vermont, wept like a child as he poured out a heart-tugging story of his great love and admiration for "Little Nell," his temperamental aaugnter-in-iaw irom the south, who has involved himself and his wife in a $50,000 alienation suit. "Little Nell," bride of the slate king's son, Romeyn, second year Har vard law student, charges she lost Romeyn's love, affection and support because of the interference of his wealthy parents, Thomas 8. and Kate Nelson. ' . Tomorrow the case will be resumed by the defense in the United States district court. . "Little Nell was sacred to me right up to the day .this terrible affair came into the courts," Nelson, said to- the writer on the porch of the local club, by the hotel, unburdening himself as the tears flowed unrestrainedly. "I did all in my power to reconcile the two," he continued. "I loved Nell as if she were my own little girl, and -she is still as sacred to me as she was on the day Romeyn brought her to me and said, 'Father, meet my little wife.' "It's , a terrible swallow for me to have my wife and my son and our personal affairs ' dragged . into the courts and newspapers atjiv .Jhne vt life. Tnf an honeBrman.Tve made some money, but every dollar I've made I've worked for and came by honestly. This is the first time in my life my name has ever appeared in the headlines. , ; "My wife is as good a woman as ever lived, in spite of everything Nell's lawyer brings in against her. She's a woman who would never hurt anybody. She's just been through an operation and she is not well. This court affair is the greatest . sorrow that has ever, come into my life." Romeyn took a seat on the porch, ; and the slate king proceeded: No, I don't blame Romeyn either. Only I wish he had come to me. I never knew what the trouble was be. tween the two. I don't know to this day. I'm just waiting for the moment they call Romeyn to the stnd to tell his story, and for the first time this boy's daddy will know why he has en tered suit against Nell and why he doesn't -gon-Hving with her." 1 "We had a courtship by correspond ence,' Romeyn, 23-year-old student, said: "Nell sure could write wonder ful letters. They won me. completely. We corresponded for four years. I was 19 when we eloped. Nell, I don't know how old Nell is. She never told me. I think she must be 29. ''What gets me is this stuff they are trying to pull about me being a loafer. I'm not a loafer. I used to work in the quarries and now I'm studying law." ' ' K ' .'-'' '- Brown-eyed fragile Nell swept by in her blue and salmon dress. The couple were miite. !'Just,a couple of quarreling kids," the elder Nelson muttered.' v The-girl, MVs.

PREACHER PAYS GIRL A TRI BUTE Mrs. Nelson Loved By People in Northern Home Town. ' . v . '(;. : ;.. . : Windsor, Vt., Special to Charlotte Observer, May 21. Rev. F. H. Reed, pastor of the Church of Christ at West Pawlet, whose church Mrs. Romeyn Nelson and her father, John H. Rudisill ,of Lincolnton, N. C, attended this morning, paid a kindly tribute to the young woman who is waging a bitter though heart rending battle in the federal court here against her husband's parents, the 'millionaire Nelsons, alleging alienation of her husband's affec tions. .: . ' V-', "Even though they are two strangers, far from their southern home, whose hearts are heavy, with us today, we are anxious that our hearts beats as one," said Rev. Mr. Reeds. "We have known this little wife for some time, and she seems to be one of us. All our sympathy and hopes are for her happiness, good true little woman that she is." Both Rev, Mr. Reed and his wife are to testify at the hearing tomor row. . v . "Nellie bad a wonderful, sweet disposition,' 'said Mrs. Reed at the close of the service. "I have seen her dusting , and cleaning off the porch, also doing general housework and washing dishes. ; Often I have seen her beating rugs outside the Nelson home, and I am not repeat;, ing idle gossip when I state that it was common knowledge about town that the millionaire Nelsons were using their son's wife for menial tasks about the house. When she arrived from the south they allowed several servants to go, and the next we knew Nellie was doing their work.". Romeyn's white haired grand mother, Mrs. Mary S. Nelson, with whom Nellie was always a favorite, will also testify tomorrow, but for the defense. m. . . t ft i I jeiis oi mermg. Law, Windsor, Vt. Special to Charlotte Observer, May 20. "Here's to your future success. May the girl you love now be happy with you. Is it to hap pen in the spring? I suppose your mother will love her and she will be sick with joy when you V yur divorce decree from me." SO wrote mrs. iieine jv. tieiDuii, ui Lincolnton, N. C, to her young boy husband, Romeyn Nelson, Harvard law school student, and former grad uate of Williams college, after he had informed her, through his father, that his love for her had cooled, according to the evidence presented in her $50,000 suit against Romeyn's parents, for alienation of his affections. Before a packed , courthouse, Mrs. Nelson sobbed in her quiet southern manner at the recollection of the memories brought back by the read ing of the letters. "tMay the girl you love now be happy with you," she wrote. "Donf give me a thought. Treat me as you have in the past, and your life will be perfect." Taking a final filing at him, she closed here letter with the sentence: "I suppose you are a social lion at Harvard and president of your class. With best regards from, your wife, Nell." In another letter dated "some-where-in - Extence,' and written after the breach between her hus band and herself had become "irre mediable, the slim little girl from the Carolines pleads with him to forget her forever and unselfishly begs of him to cherish the next girl that Bis love goes out to. The crushed girl-herseii took the stand and told a pathetic story of her broken romance, which promised te be an idyl and which ended an elegey. ' Several times the girl's voice broke and the courtroom was silent as she sobbed until her emotion had spent itself. "In 1913," Nellie said, "Romeyn spent his vacation in Lincolnton, my home town. He was affectionate and we were engaged to be married" just as soon as he finished school. One Friday evening he told me I had to marry him. He said he was not go ing to let anyone else have me. So next day, December 29, we went to Charlotte. He went to the station but I did not go, so he came and got me. At the station he deliberately picked me up on the train and swore I should marry him. ; .'. ' 1 i ; "I did love him, but I was afraid. You see, - my people did not know about it. . ; .". "We were married in Charlotte. Romeyn wanted to spend the night there but I was afraid my people would worry ,o we went back home on the evening train.
