WASHINGTON, Dec. 8.—The first de- cided move in the Senate this session in the interest of the French reciprocity treaty was made by Senator Cullom, chairman of the Senate Committee on Foreign Relations, while the Senate was in executive session to-day. He called up the treaty for the purpose of securing an order for the printing of documents bearing on the agreement, and gave no- tice that he would ask the nate to take up the treaty at an early day for the purpose of disposing of it.

Alfred Moseley explained how he came { to tring a delegation of British working- | men to America ‘When in South Africa Just before Christ- always extremely busy. he had found that American engineers | had succeeded in mining operations where | British engineers had fafled, and a later visit to the United States had convinced ; him that American business methods were in advance of those of the old coun- try. Ome of the reasons of this, he sald, was the adoption by American manufac- turers of plece work and another the en- couragement offered to brains and initia- | tive. There is not that close touch be- tween the English manufacturer and his workman that there is here. Added to this/is the improved machinery and the knack of getting more out of it than they do on the other slde. As to shorter hours, Moseley was of the opinion that to secure the eight-hour day the movement must be universal. Restriction of output, he sald, could not be permitted. The speaker declared himsMf against the boycott, in | favor of the freedom of man to sell his labor to whom he desired, and the organ- ization of both capital and labor. - There were other things besides the questlon of < IRELAND’'S HOPEFUL VIEW. to see our “.e .f Sflokil At the afternoon session Archbishop Ire- lahd made an address in which he sald the year almost gone had confirmed the thelr conviction that they were engaged in a great and salutary work, that of striv- ing to bring together, to put face to face, capital and labor, so that the one would understand the rights of the other, so that the one would be willing to perform its own duty toward the other and that in this manner industrial peace should be made to reign over the country. He con- tinued: ¥ No greater task to-day would be given to a minister of Christ's gospel than to c in some little way to establish this relgn of industrial peace.

Trusts Him With Her Money and Affections and Is Now Sorry. He Deserts Her for a Younger Charmerr Whom He Marries and She Has Him Ar- rested for Bigamy. Special Dispatch to The Call. EL PASO, Tex., Dec. 8.—J. J. Craig, about 2% years of age, who cut quite “a wide swath in this city for the past sev- eral months as a palmist, was arrested here to-day on a charge of bigamy, but was subsequently released by the police. Beyond the simple fact 6f his arrest lles a story which, in many of its details, parallels the famous Dis de Bar case. Craig is alleged to have gwindled a wealthy New York wonman, Mrs. M. A. McHatton, cut of money and dlamonds aggregating $16,000. o Mrs. McHatton is fell known in this city, where she owns considerable prop- erty. At the time of Cralg’s advent she was temporarily residing here., She is 55 years of age, and for a long/time has been a strong believer in spiritualism. Cralg, through hypnotiem, Mrs. McHat- ton alleges, persuaded her that she was one of the elect in spiritualistic circles, and soon won her confidence to the ex- tent that she accompanied him to Lon- don during the summer. While on the trip Cralg persuaded her that he was floating several big mining deals, and needed $10,000 in cash. This Mrs. McHat- ton gave him, he in return giving her his L. O. U. He also persuaded her, it fis sald, to invest in dlamonds aggregating in’ value about $15,000. After the trip to Europe was concluded Cralg promised 1o marry Mrs. McHat- ton, which promise he carried out at St Louls during the early fall. Upon the morning of the marriage Mrs. McHatton gave her newly made husband another $10,900 note, which he deposited and col- lected. After reaching El Paso Craig be- came enamored of another woman, whom he also married. He then deserted his first bride, and her desertion was the main cause of his arrest. Cralg is sald to be well known to the police of two continentss For some time he posed both In Europe and America as a nephew of J. Coleman Drayton of New York, and upon the strength of this alleged connection, it 1s claimed, swindled a jeweler In Baden-Baden out of several thousand dollars’ worth of jewelry. Dr: ton was at the time in Europe, and through his instrumontality Cralg was, the police claim, given a term In prison In Germany. It is further said that some time last year Cralg was again arrested at the instance of Drayton In the Audl- torium Annex In Chicago, where he was again working the relationship game. After this Craig for a time sank out of sight until he came to El Paso and made his marriage deal. Craig has allases enough to meet the needs of half a hun- dred criminals. He Is known in various places as Silverberg, J. F. Silverstein, J. Forsythe Whitney, etc. His real name Is Silverberg, and he halls from Colum- bus, Ohio, where he has a brother prom- ifnent In business circles. Immediately after his arrest here Cralg was released and went across the Werder to Juarez, where he Is to-night. As the charge of bigamy will probably not be pressed by Mrs. McHatton, Cralg will leave in the |~ morning for Mexico City. Noted Salvationists Coming Here. KANSAS CITY, Mo., Dec. 8.—General Willlam Booth, founder of the Salvation Army; Colonel Lawlle and Major Cox and the general's daughter, Mrs. Booth-Tuck- er, arrived from Iowa this morning.
