HOUSE PASSES SUPPLEMENTARY | ARMY ESTIMATES LONDON, Feb. 16.—While the House of | Commons was on supplementary army es- | timates to-day the Liberal leader, Sir Henry Campbell-Bannerman, after reaf- | firming the intention of the Liberals to do anything necessary for a successful | prosecution of the war, said the one thing ‘ dominating the debate was the suspicion that compulsory service was projected. He | did not believe the Government lmended! this, but the intention of the Premier was another matter. Conscription by ballot, | he declared, was a combination of press | gang and rouiette, which was a very un- | dignified way of increasing the strength | | o | the entire day before he came to us. | 8ylva Tugela River and |s people had sent for the wife of Simpton— who had been separated from him for some time—and were trying to get her to cause serious trouble for her husband be- fore he could give his testimony in the trial now in progress. This troubie was to be of such a nature that it would destroy the force of his evidence. He sald that he would like to tell Simpton about it and asked us to disclose his whereabouts. ‘We were thrown completely off our guard by his frankness and we took him Simpton's room at - Geary and Mason streets. When we entered Sylva led Simpton aside and whispered a few words to him. We supposed he was tell- ing him of his domestic troubles and did not give the occurrence much thought. Sylva remained but a few minutes and went away. We followed in a short time, leaving Simpton with his two guards. Simpton Stolen From His Guard. “Subsequently we learned that Sylva had been closeted in Fair's office during We had left Simpton but a few minutes when returned and told the guard that 1 Simpton would go to the Alham- The guard he an bra ater for the evening. wanted to accompany them, but Syiva aid that there would be no danger, as he could protect Simpton from any of the thugs that the Fair people could hire. They finally agreed that the guard should meet them at the entrance to the theater at the close of the performance. It was not until after they had left that the guard became suspicious that something was wrong, and notified us at once. We searched the town from that time until 3 o'clock the following morning, but could not find Simpton, and believe now that I ! he has been hurried out of the country. We have evidence that within half an hour after he left his rooms he was at | the home of Judge Hunt swearing to the sensational affidavit which made its ap- pearance this morning. When we left Sylva he made an appointment to m: us at our office at 9 o'clock this morning. It is unnecessary to state that he did not keep the appointment and that we have seen or heard nothing of him since.

On the opening of Judge Troutt’s court vesterday morning Attorney Lafe Pence, counsel for Mrs, Craven, appeared before Judge Hunt, who presided in Judge Troutt's absence, and asked the court to arrange for a night session In which to congider what he belleved to be rank per- jury committed by Judge Simpton of Sau- salito. Mr. Pence said that it was evident from the publication of an affidavit made by Simpton, in which he denied that he per- formed the geremony uniting James G. Fair and Nettle R. Craven in marriage, in the face of another affidavit in which he swore that he had performed such a ceremony, that Simpton was guilty of rjury and should be on the road to the Peion's home across the bay. ““This matter I8 of vital importance," said Mr. Pence, “and in order that other sehemes by which this man may be al- lowed to escape the penalty for his mis- deeds may be prevented the court should not delay, but should forthwith order all of the lawyers, all of the heirs, all of the witnesses and all of the claimants into court that the party committing the per- Jupy might be punished and the con- spirators who caused him to disregard his oath first given be exposed and made amenable to the law.” In the absence of Judge Troutt Judge Hunt sald that he did not feel at liberty to take the matter up and aug'fesud that the nnome;rdelay action untll Monday, when the Presiding Judge of the court ‘would be In attendance. r.
