Authorities Believe Rogers Will Break News That Babies Are Dead. Capt. Bourke of the Morrisania. Po- Nee Station went to Lebanon Hospital to-day under instructions from Dis- trict Attorney Martin of Bronx County and laid down new rules for the admission of visitors to Mrs. Ida Sniffen Walters, Inst whom there are two charges of homicide for giv- ing bichloride of mercury to the two children of herself and Lurlys Bilton Rogers. The policeman on guard at the N's room was told that hi nor only Rogers and the physicia: and nurt should be allowed to go in. She has been visited freely here- tofore by Mra. Anna Roquemore Rog- ers, the divorced wife of thelr attor- ney; their son, Lorlys R. Rogers, and numerous others. Martin had consid. | ered barring Rogers also from the sick room but decided not to do so. Taking into regard the medical rule, that all danger from bichloride of mercury {js not past until fifteen days after It has been taken, no official inti- | mation of the charges against her will be made to Mrs. Walters before Tuesday. Considering her excellent) condition to-day and the certainty of the physicians that she will recover, | it is regarded as likely by the authori- | tles that Rogers himself will break) the news of the death of her children | to her before the service of the pape: Mrp. Walters suspects that her babies are dead because her requests to see them are constantly evaded by the nurses and Rogers.

By Marguerite Mooers Marshall. All for love and the world well lost! Does it work? . There wi woman who believed it did. She left her husband and her home for a man who, six months earlier and in the very midst of his friend-, ship for her, ped up” the chance of marrying an elderly woman with financial expectations. For this man she divorced her husband. She became the mother of his son. She lived with him openly in a shabbily furnished flat, her household allowance so small that she was obliged to borrow money from the neighbors. She bore him a second child. watched him grow tired of her. she was on the point of accompanying bis legal wife on a long visit to a distant city. So she gave 5 poison to her two children and poisoned herself. The children are dead, If she does not die she must face charges of murder and attempted suicide. The man she loved has been made an object of official suspicion and of public curiosity and criticism. Those are the self-admitted, circumstance-confirmed facts in the case of Ida Walters and Lorlys Elton Rogers. If there is a place to preach about them it is not here. I am perfectly willing to leave the application of moral yardsticks to the Pharisees, always so handily supplied with these articles. One may as well ask a swiftly-fowing river or a flash of sheet lightening if it is “moral,” as point that question at a woman's love. But it is permisstble and indeed wise to note the practical difference be- tween a devastating flood and a useful millrace, between the electricity that burns our houses and the electricity that lights them. And it is fair to ask of love not whether it is good but whether it makes good. If the tragedy in which Ida Walters has lived herself proves daything, it fs that the love for which the world must be lost doesn’t make goed. It doesn’t work. It isn’t on an efficiency basis. The reason will not be found in a book of poems but in a geometry, on the page containing the first dozen axioms. For 906,90T persons out of 1,000,000 the pull of the world against the pull of love is the pull of the whole against the pull of a part.

Mrs. Jones re- entered just as her husband branded the divorce case which had just been presented against him an outright frame-up. Mrs. Jones ewooned and was carried to a chair, The story related by Jones caused Justice Cohalan to order an extend- ed hearing, since the husband's story tended to Involve David Wallace, torney, The husband said his wife was aware it was a frameup and that he had decided to tell his story at the last minute because he had been branded a crook and a hypno- tist. BAYS DETECTIVES APPARENTLY KNEW WOMAN. The evidence against Jones was offered by two detectives retained by Mrs. Jones and Wallace. Last Aug- ust they caught Jones in a room at Edward D. Knappen's house at No, 33 West Ninth Street with a woman, who, it developed later, was @ stenographer in Jones's office. Knappen told of breaking down the door and finding Jones and a blonde woman dishabille. Knappen then said the detectives went over to the woman, shook hands and joked and chatted with her, This statement aroused Jus- tice Cohalan's suspicion and he was questioning Attorney Ashton Parker, counsel for Jones, when Jones came rushing ip Jones is almost bald and is very stout. “oYu had a conversation last with Mr, Wall asked Attorney Par “Yow, three conversations,” replied Jones. “At our first conversation Mrs. Jones was there. | had been the victim of a lot of false accusations by her and had employed a Burns detective.

After a eeries of wordy tilts as to the conduct of the investigation, As- sistant District Attorneys Train and Murphy withdrew to-day from Cor- oner Riordan’s courtroom, where he wan holding an inquest into the ele- vated railway accident at One Hun- dred and Sixteenth Street and Eighth Avenue on Dec. 9, which resulted in the death of two persons and the in- juring of about forty others. Mr. Train, as spokesman, eald he had come there represent! he Dis- trict Attorney to give all the ald pos- sible and as the Coroner did not seem disposed to avatl himself of it he and his colleague would withdraw. until such time as the Coroner needed ald. He added that he had Genera) Man- ager Hedley “on the telephone” ready to come when desired, and other off- clals of the ‘s: m, but would not call then until the Coroner had fin-| com) ished his inquiry. ‘The friction between ‘the two at- torneys and Coroner Riordan began when Anthony Abratis, a motorman, the second witness of the inquiry, was testifying. The Coroner asked many questions relating to rules which Mr. Train thought would be better answered by the officials, and he said so, This did not deter the Coroner in the least. Later Train Despatoher McInerny of South Ferry Station was called, and when he was asked about nals Mr. Train arose. “are we to understand, Your Honor,” he asked, “that you are to conduct this examination, or is it to be done by the District Attorney's office, as is customary?” The Coroner—It is my duty to in- vestigate this matter, and I shall do so. I want to know what these wit. nesses know. Mr. Train—Well, Your Honor, we have come here with proof of the guilt of those responsible for the dis- aster; we have diagrams and photo- graphe and witnesses. We are pre- pared to call the officials of the road and make a thorough Inquiry, We are here to help in any way. The Coroner—Do fou want to take it all? I heard that the District At- torney’s office was conducting an in- vestigation and I sent word that I'd like to have assistance in the exam- ination of witnesses, but Mr. Murphy replied that he was too busy. 1 shall go ahead. Mr. Train—Then we'll withdraw until such time as you need our wervices. ‘With that the two Assistant Dis- trict. Attorneys gathered up their plans and maps and photographs and left the room.
