ARGUMENT STARTS
IN HARTJE CASE
Prosecution Tries to Show
Husband Had Right
to Divorce.
By Private laws—! Wlje.
Pittsburg, Aug, 6.—Attorney Rodgers,
for the prosecution, opened the argu
menta today in the Hartje divorce trial.
He Immediately brought out Ihe telling
points In the testimony.
Hr said In part:
"If we lake Mrs. Harlje's reasons for
separation we find bo little lo Justify a
separation that we feel we must look
for something else. Therefore, we must
look to these letters.
"In exhibit 15 we nnd her saying she
would leave him. In exhibit 80, 'I start
ed thla whole thing two years go, with
my heart full of lova for you, Toni
Madlne.' In another the phrase, Oh,
Tom. I love you,’ and In atill another.
'If I leave him you will be true to
me.’
"In regard to the ‘Second avenue af
fair,’ this was sworn lo by the Bstch-
told woman, who swore that for threa
years Hartje hnd been to the house
twice a week. Tuesdays and Thurs
days. According to the testimony
Hartje went In and nut from the
publls street In the daylight repeat
edly for three years, yet no other wit
ness was produced to substantiate this.
Would It have been possible /or him to
go In and out there 104 times In a year
nr 113 times In three years without
others knowing It?
“As to Harlje's denial, we hove. be.
sides his word, the vldence of his klfts-
men and two young men from the
Hartje warehouse that Hartje was at
tentive to business and waa at home
on Sundays.
"Now, let me go to the charge of In
fidelity on the part of Mrs. Hartje.
First, we have the statement of Thom
as Madlne and then the Inherent proof
of the letters written by Mr*. Hartje to
Madlne. According to the testimony
of Susie Wsgner, Madlne had the run
of the house and wag frequently found
In the bed room ot Mrs. Hartje, as well
as In the bath room. The coachman
whom, according to the testimony of
table witnesses hid the run of
hou*e. wss visited almost dally In
the stable by Mra. Hartje, who remain
ed there for an hour or more at a time,
and that the blinds were drawn on nu
merous occasions.”

PEONAGE CHARGES
DENIEDjjY LESSER
Says Vice Consul Author
ized Statement That
Reports Untrue.
Spwlnl to Tko Georgina.
Montgomery, Ala., Aug. 6.—There
soems to have been nothing In tho
sensational rumors from Lockart, Ala/
about peonage at the Jackson Lumber
Company, notwithstanding that three
men have been arreeted and are now
out on ball. The following letter to
Governor Jetks from E. Lesser, presi
dent of the German Immigration So
ciety of Alabama, gives the true con
dition of affairs:
fl have read the tales published about
peonage In the ramps of the Jackson
Lumber Company at Lockart, Ala. 1
have listened to. the testimony given
under oath before United States Com
missioner Marsh here (Pensacola) by
five of ihe Complainants, nnd I have
spent nn entire day visiting the camps
of the Jackson Luthber Company at
and near Lockart. I have Interviewed
ntarly 100 laborers, both Immigrants
and native born Americana. I have not
found a single person who would or
could make a complaint about peonage
or cruel treatment. It seems the com
pany will not pay the men any wages
until they have repaid the amount ad
vanced for transportation, but all of the
men I spoke to stated that they could
leave If they wanted to, and that no
force was usedato retain them to atay.
"I have taken statements of nln-
Germaijs, neither of whom can speak a
word of English. All express them
selves satlsffetl with the treatment.
There were h number of minor com
plaints, but none of any Importance.
If peonage hae existed at Lockart, then
all trace of It had been removed beforo
my coming. The company extended
every facility to me to enable me to
make a thorough Investigation. The
German vice consul at Pensacola au
thorizes me to any officially and posi
tively that the newspaper statements
as to complaints being made to him
by men escaping from these camps Is
absolutely false. Not a single German
entered such complaint In hla office, nor
made a statement that peonage exist
ed there. To the contrary, one of the
fife men coming to the consul from
Lockart asking for work skid, after
being questioned as to > the truth of
these charges, th.it they were raise and
that the men were treated good."
