He described Mrs. Turner as ‘“the most lovable and affectionate woman that ever breathed.” Turner testified that he was married thirty- one years ago and that his wife, Mrs. Maud C. W. Turner, left him last fall e charged that the desertion was due to “malicious exercises’” by Hackmeis- ter of a “most complete and overpow- cring influence.” In October, 1913, when he and his wife were guests at Hackmeister's home, Mr. Turner testified that he first noticed intimacy between the two. They ate together, he asserted, and denied him the privilege to be with them Later, when the Turners visited the Imperator in Hoboken, Mr. Turner stated, Hackmeister and Mrs. Turner toured the ship together and left him in a stateroom. He testified further that Mrs. Turner drank too much wine on one visit they made to Hack- meister’s house, and at another time he saw Mrs. Turner and Hackmeister together drinking wine in a New York hotel. Letters Hackmeister 1s alleged to have written to Mrs. Turner were in- troduced. One said in part: “Maud Dear:—This ha been dreary day. I have gone over the let- ters 1 have had from you. In one respect they are all alike—through all of them runs like a thread the words, ‘have patience nd ‘soon.” Well, L have had patience for two years.

His identity cannot yet he known with certainty, but semi-offi- cially it is intimated a personage of tremendous force of coupled with rare organizing and cx The to haracter, ecutive ability will fill the office. Cologne Gazette is in a position state: “Preparations are under way, hav- ing for their object the complete centralization and co-ordination of all measures relative to the food supply of the nation. This centra means that the executive powcs connection with all these m will be given into the hands of a single personage, from whose creative strength one can expect a relentless and rigid carrying out of all the em- bracing tasks intrusted to him. One will not err in assuming thut the decision in this matter will fall within the next few days. The tainty is now at hand that the long contem- plated step of complete centraiization of all measures pertaining to the sup- ply and distribution of foodstuifs will now be taken by intrusting exe~ cution of all such measures one personage, who, in this connection, will receive quite extraordinarily rar- reaching powers.” Solution Of Meat Problem. An interesting solution of the meat problem is reported from Dresd where, despite the introduction o moat coupons throughout Saxonuy, conditions were not greatly improved. Every consumer desiring to buy meat must register his name in a spe- cial list every Saturday for the en- suing week some one parficular butchershop. An ordinance further requires the butcher to hang up a list in the show-window giving th> and hour when a customer may his or her meat allowance, venting crowds collecting outside tane shops and irritating long waits. Berlin continues to wrestle meat problem. Remedial measures are promised by the city fathers shortly. For the present Berlin won’t introduce meat cards. The authori- ties fear if cards were given out call- ing for a small meat allowance it would arouse too unfavorable wn im- pression abroad regarding food con- ditions in Germany, since enemies and neutrals would conclude that similar conditions prevailed throughout the empire, whereas the fact is that for inner political reasons Berlin is much worse off than any other part to at | IS BLAKESLEE 0UT | Sad to Have Withdrawn in Favor watch the trend of political events in | republican ing upon the result of a meeting prominent republicans who are boom- ing Lieutenant Governor Dennis of the leared concerning the deliberation of that has determined to withdraw didacy determined that he will not enter the race, | all concerned particularly Mr. Bl |1ee, to sink whatever guberna Colonel Robert O.|aspirations he may have and Slakeslee licutenant, | his influence to Holcomb, in on in this section; First Selectman John |wrest the nomination from Wilkinson, of West Haven; Col.
