made in court that Herbert Schmidt
a former valet and footman in the
Gould family, had beien hired by

compelled him to admit that be had
been hired to obtain evidence against
Mrs. Gould. DeLanccy Nlcoll, coun

Gould's valet," he said.

Gould at the West Indies, in Europe,
at Lynchburg, Castle Gould and at
the St. Regis. I went to work for
her In December, 1905."
His dutits were to pack baggage
and on accasion he said he assisted
Mrs. Gould at her toilet.
"1 saw Mrs, Gould under thte in
fluence of liquor on more than one
occasion," he replied to Mr. Nlcoll.
"Before we left St. Regis, Mrs.
Gould had some drinks served at a
, meal. The waiter didn't confe quick
ly .enough after the meal was over
and Mrs. Gould told me to throw the
- table Into the corridor."
"Did you do it?"
'I did, breaking some dishes and
not doing the table much good. Later
the manager. of the hotel came up but
he dldn t see Mrs. Gould."
Toe trip to the West Indies was
marked wltl several instances of Mr.
Gould drinking but she' was never un
der the Influence of liquor, the former
valet said.
'1Mrs. Gould usually drank Man
hattan cocktails on that trip. She
drank a great many of them." '
Getting to Castle Gould, Veltch said
that Mrs. Gould was Intoxicated three
times. :
. "After drinking a great many cham

total value of domestic merchandise
exported in 1908 was $1,835,000,000
while in 1907 the figures show ex

$68,000,000 in her imports, Germany
$1-01,000,000 and the other na,tions
corresponding decrease.; The .manu

mand abroad. The greatest falling
off, however, was in foodstuffs and
manufactures, each being about $90,
000,000. The decrease in cotton is
about $10,000,000. The principal
articles in which the falling off in
our own exports occurs are cotton
corn, wheat, meats, manufactures ot
copper, and manufactures of wood
These figures of the bureau of statis
tics show the total quantity of cotton
exported in the li; months ending

New Hampshire OpMsed Putting
Wood Pulp and . Print Paper on
the Free List Says to do so Would
He a Violation of the Principle
of Protection. ,
(By Leased Wire to The Times.)
Washington, June 18. The senate
met at 10 o'clock.
; On resolution of Senator Hale, of
Maine, the Rev. U. G. B.2 Pierce,
pastor of All Soul's church, Wash
ington, where President Taft wor
ships, was named -as chaplain of the
senate to succeed the late Rev. Dr.
Edward Everett Hale.
The tariff bill was then taken up.
The duty on boraci acid was increased
from two to three cents per pound,
the present duty being five cents. The
duty on axalic acid was increased
from one to two cents. Under the
Dingley law it is on the free list.
Senator Gallinger, of New Hamp
shire, opposed putting wood pulp
and print paper on the free list or
rescinding the duty, on the ground
that to do so was a violation of the
principle of protection. ; He said the
increased price of print paper was
due to natural causes. If the duty
were removed it would result in the
destruction of the spruce forests of
the United States in the fierce com
petition with the Canadian industry.
In the end, when these forests were
destroyed paper making machinery
would be transferred to Canada and
the American consumer placed at the
mercy of the dominion producers.
Senator Brown, of Nebraska, of
fered to withdraw his amendment
placing print paper on the free list
and to substitute one fixing the rate
at $2 per ton, as provided in the
house bill. Senator Aldrich obj'ected.
Senator Bailey, of Texas, said that
Brown's argument had been based
entirely on the assumption that the
removal of the duty would reduce
the price to the consumer, and he
welcomed that argument, and wanted
to know why it would not apply to
other articles.
Senator Aldrich: The senator from
Nebraska does not speak for the
whoFe republican party.
Senator Brown: I refuse to be dis
inherited by the senator from Rhode
Island, or adopted by the senator
from Texas.
Senator Bailey: Unless you re
form no one would want to adopt
you.
He added that there ought to be
some way whereby republican papers
which believed the tariff is not a tax
should be obliged to pay the duty,
and democratic papers which believ
ed the tariff to be a tax should get
theirs free of duty. -
The Brown amendment was lost, .
52 to 28. Senator Bailey was the
only democrat to vote against free
print paper. Senator. Stone, of Mis
souri, offered an amendment to put
wood pulp on the free list.
