“I knew all about his affairs, DENIES WIDOW, HEIROF SINGER, VISITED BISPHAM Former Secretary’s Deposition Says She’s Sure “Nothing Wrong Ever Happened.” Mrs. Adelaide Soplier of Summit, N, J., former secretary to David 3. Bispham, late baritone, testified as a ‘witness for the proponents of the will, in the contest of the document inati- tuted in Surrogate’s Court by the singer’s widow and one of her two daughters. Mrs. Sopher is confined to|her home by illness, but her testi- mony was read into the records. “I cah honestly state that nothing wrong ever happened between Mr. Bispham and Mrs, Ten Eyck,'’ de- clared the former secretary. The Int- ter is charged by Mrs. Bispham with haying used undue influence in re- ceiving a $25,000 béquest and the baritone’s residuary estate. Mrs. Sopher said she knew Mrs. Ten Hyck and her daughter, and declared em- phaticaHy that she never had seen Mrs. Ten Eyck elther at the Bispham studio or his apartment “I think it is terrible to insinuate those things about him," testified Mrs. Sopher. ‘‘He was like a father to me. I know i's all wrong those things about him."’ The witness admitted that Mrs. Ten Eyck occasionally called Bispham on the telephone and refused to give her name. ‘The secretary sald she recognized Mrs. Ten Eyck's voice, however. The latter is the wife of former Judge Jay Ten Eyck of Essex to say County, N. J., and lives at No, 60 Central Park West. 5 Just before adjournment yester- day Mrs. Ten Eyck took the stand. She ascribed her sympathetic interest in the baritone to the fact he “seemed singularly friendles Before that, a hotel maid was called to uphold in part the allegations of undue influence made by Mra. Bis- pham and her daughter, Leonie A. Carnegie Bispham. She was Josephi Monks, No. 150 Amsterdam Aven: and testified she was employed in the Hotel Royalton, No. 44 West 44th Street, in which Mr. Bispham had both his studio and his apartment up to May, 1921, He died in October, 1921, Mrs. Ten Eyck, she declared, vis- ited Mr. Bispham nearly every day except Sundays and Mondays, when he generally was in Philadelphia. Mr. Bispham, she testified, often served luncheon to Mrs. Ten Eyck in his y, she said, set it out in the hall, el the door and snap the catch on the inside. It was her duty to take away the tray, she said, and she could plainly hear the catch snap into place. On one ion, ste said, Mr. Bispham left the door open after Tuncheon and she saw Mrs. Ten Byck in his rooms. Asked if she was at- tived for the street, Miss Monks re- plied: “No, not quite. She didn’t have her hat or coat on and she was fix- ing her hair.” HARDING TO LEAVE |". FOR GRANT SERVICE}; Will Go to Ohio Address at General's Birthplace.

Mr. Untermyer said that for the next few days the Lock- wood committee would devote itself to bringing about a peace agreement. At yesterday's conference, the fourth since April 4, Chairman Chris- tian G. Norman of the employers pro- posed a resolution that the conference “weoeed to a discussion of the “four- seen points” laid down by the em- ployers as to the future conduct of the building trades unions.

Banton de- livered this afternoon at the Kiwanis Club luncheon at the Hotel MeAlpin, fe gaid in part: “Conscience is largely a matter of education. Conscience is a man's con- ception of What is right or wrong in his own conduet, rather than that of Many persons act in good ncel and yet in the abstract do wrong. Conscience is a matter of cul- iyation, As @ man learns and acts if accordance with his knowledge, his conscience becomes clearer. “The conscience of the community in the cultivation of the community's soul, The conduct of the community reflecta its consct A number of important factors enter into the culti- vation of the conacience of the com- munity. One of the most important factors in the development of the commu- nity’s conscience is the press. Prob- ably no one {s in a better position at he present moment to say this than I. When I announced about a fortnight since that {t was my pur- pose to bring to trial, beginning April 17, every person accused in Néw York County of # crime of violence, and that the calendars of the Crimi- nal Courts would be cleared of all other actions except those of violence, namely: Robbery, burglary, pistol carrying and homicides, the news- papers featured that announcement and from day to day the newspapers haye carried the results of this drive against crimes of violence in this county. “The effect of this publicity has been marked. Public sentiment has been aroused, public conacience quickened, /Thugs, in a pantc, are soctety consc 20]}seeking what clemency they can find in pleas of guilty. Crimes of violence have decreased. The gunman has either moved on, or is in process of being moved in. “The help that the papers have rendered tn giving publicity to this drive has been equivalent to an in- crease in the police force of 2,000, and @ proportionate Increase in my staff and the judiciary. “It gives me real pleasure to make *| this public announcement of the great |. assistance that the press of New York has rendered in this drive. The news- papers have aroused the conscience of the public and have created a senti- ment in favor of the rigorous enforce- ment of %the law against crimes of violence such as we have not known in @ generation, and they have done this in less than two weeks’ time. ——— FRENCH INDEBTEDNESS : GROWING, REPO REPORT SHOWS in Feat aul ial Months, t s.
