Brackett Will
Conduct Fight
Of 'Dry' League
"God's People Certainly
Shall Be Defended," He
Says on Being Asked to
Lead Legislative Battle
Anderson Defies Probe
"Best Legal Talent Will|
See That We Obtain j
Full Justice," He Asserts,
Former State Senator Edgar T. \
\ Brackett, of Saratoga, has been retained |
1 by the Anti-Saloon League as counsel |
i in the proposed investigation by the j
! State Assembly.
"God's people certainly shall be ad- ?
i equately defended," said Mr. Brackett, !
when asked to lead the legal battle ?
' against the "wets." Ex-Senator Brack- j
| ett is a Methodist.
For the last week ho has been look- j
; ing into the situation at Albany, and !
| it is said that he is in possession of a
! fund of information and record data
' that will make interesting reading
i when it is presented. William H.
; Anderson, state superintendent of the
league, said yesterday:
Anderson's Statement
"Senator Brackett has been employed
j by the Anti-Saloon League, not to pro- ?
; cure the suppression of any truth in :
: which the public has even the slightest!
j valid interest, but to bring out all of j
: the truth that is in any way pertinent,!
and to make sure that the investiga- j
i tion is genuine and honest and covers j
| both sides, or else make clear to the j
?public just why and wherein it did not.'
"The Anti-Saloon League has secured
? the very best legal talent in- order to \
make certain thut when the investiga
tion is started it shall not break down
and stop before the league has its
: innings. Senator Brackett can get in- j
I to the record the facts in the league's !
.favor or make their suppression more!
I dangesous than their admission.
i "This matter has cone so far that
the Anti-Saloon League is determined'
that it must be made clear that there ',
is no possible basis for an investiga?
tion, or else that it shall be proved so ?
unanswerably that the last man in the
state will understand that the Legisla- i
ture has wasted the taxpayer's money
! in an unwarranted attempt to discredit
this agency of the churches in behalf
of an outlawed liquor traffic. To these
who know Senator Brackett his em?
ployment will be conclusive proof of
the Anti-Saloon League's determina
; tion to see this thing through."
Replies to Mr. Freeman
With reference to the denial by the
? Rev. W. H. Freeman, of Carlisle, Scho
; harie County, the Presbyterian minis
' ter who charged Mr. Anderson with
reprehensible practices, Mr. Anderson]
I said:
"It is hard to see why ho should feel i
aggrieved over the statement that he j
! once was one of the bunch that he now
[ is working with. I have not the slight-i
; est doubt that the 'wets' will furnish ;
I Mr. Freeman all the money he wants
i to bring a libel suit, and if he brings
[lone it will be taken care of in due
i course."
Mr. Anderson yesterday mailed to
each member of the Legislature a let- j
ter headed, "Some Plain Talk and ;
Square Defiance to the Assembly.'' The
letter says, in part:
"The Anti-Saloon League never has I
sought popularity with the Assembly. ?
It has been impossible for anybody i
to be really true to the prohibition j
con3tituencv in the matter of aggres-,
sivenAftH add be on good terms with I
the General Assembly of New York
the way it has dono the bidding of I
| the liquor interests for many years.
: "The Anti-Saloon League wa3 de- j
| termined to focus the attention of !
' the state on the question of prohibi
] tion enforcement this year, regard
: 'ess of the consequences. If, in ad?
dition to that, we succeed in getting
1 the gas let out of the old investiga- !
tion bluff, there has been that much j
: gain.
"If the Legislature will not do di?
rectly what th<* people want, ?then it
is legitimate for them to use it to
arouse the public by prodding those
responsible into doing something
foolish. It is entirely proper for the
Legislature to inquire whether any
law has been violated.
Defies Assembly to Act
"The public will fully understand
that if the Anti-Saloon Leajrue alone
is singled out and nothing is done
with respect to other organizations
that have pursued the same policy it
is proof that it is not a supposed
violation of the law, but a desire to
punish and silence the league that
has actuated the investigation.
"Let me make myself clear. The
Protestant churches that are back of
this movement have no fear of any
disclosures concerning its operations
and activity, but they know their
rights, and what and who are against
them, and they are organized for as
long a licht as may be necessary to
vindicate the principles of righteous?
ness for which they stand.
"In the mean time we wish to place
on record that we openly defy the
Assembly to silence us or to stop
! this kind of work."
I Pastor Will Sue

From a Staff Correspondent
ALBANY, March 11.?The Rev. Will?
iam H. Freeman, pastor of the Presby?

Sup Smiles Back
On Big Blizzard
Yesterday's spring-like tern
perature? tempting the pedestrian
to remove overcoat and overshoes,
held little to suggest the anni?
versary of the city's greatest
blizzard.
It was on March 11, 1888, that
tho greatest downfall of snow in
the history of the New York
Weather Bureau started. Begin?
ning with a heavy rain, the visita?
tion became one of sleet, then
snow, blocking traffic, carrying
down telegraph wires and effec?
tively preventing any business
that required out-of-door work.
Yesterday's maximum tempera?
ture was 5 degrees, or 21 degrees
above normal average for the
state during March. Showers
and continued high temperature
are predicted for to-day.
didato for Assembly on the Democratic
ticket, arrived here and denied emphat?
ically that he had ever been a saloon?
keeper. He admitted that he had been
a Democratic candidato for the Assem?
bly back in 18/OG from Fulton, Hamilton
County, but was defeated.
"Mr. Anderson probably has confused
me with some one else," ho said. "I
did live in Gloversville, where I was in
the glove business, and after studying
at the seminary for a year I engaged
with my two brothers in conducting
two meat markets, but I never ran a
saloon. I invested $1,000 in the meat
business and lost it.
For a time, he said, he acted as ice
salesman for the American Ice Com?
pany in Yonkers, and later was put in
charge of its entire force in that city.
After a conference between Mr. Free?
man and Assemblyman Louis Cuvillier
the latter issued a formal statement,
reading:
"I have advised Mr. Freeman to sue
Anderson for libel and he has con?
sented, and the summons and complaint
will be served on Anderson at once."
When the Assembly met to-day Cuvil?
lier moved that Robert G. Davey, coun?
sel to tho Anti-Saloon League, and all
other persons connected with the Anti
Saloon League be ordered excluded
from the Assembly by Speaker Sweet.
Assemblyman Thomas A. McWhlnney,
of Nassau County, moved that the re?
quest be sent to the Judiciary Com?
mittee for action. This was accord?
ingly done.

Special Dispatch to The Tribune
ANNAPOLIS, Md., March 11.?Citi?
zens of Talbot County, for years one
of the dryest sections of the Eastern
Shore of Maryland, to day sent a peti?
tion to the Legislature asking for an
investigation of the Anti-Saloon League
in Maryland. The House accepted the
petition and the Speaker said he would
appoint a committee to consider the
matter.
George Crabb?, who succeeded Will?

the league in Maryland, said the league
had nothing to conceal, and that it was
open to inquiry by those who con?

ST. LOUIS, March 11.?-Illinois Demo?
crats, as well as those in Missouri and
elsewhere, are sharply divided at pres?
ent on the question whether a "wet"

Roosevelt Among the Fen
Veterans Who Do No
Support Gillett's Plai
From a Staff Correspondent
! ALBANY, March 11.?Speaker Swee
announced to-day that ho was oppose
I to the Legislature passing any ligh
wine and beer bill.
When this latest position of th
Speaker in the "wet" and "dry" figh
which is now looming large here, becam
known to Colonel Ransom H. Gillet
who represents Columbia County in th
Assembly, he declared that it meant th
end of Mr. Sweet politically.
Colonel Gillett, who introduced th
light wine and beer bill, which is pal
terned on the regulations governing th
Rale of intoxicating beverages adopte
by the American Expeditionary Forcei
said that regardless of the oppositio
of the Speaker he would have a shou
down on the legislation "within a ver
few days."
In his stand he is supported almoi
unanimously by tho thirty-fivo ex-seri
ice men who aro in the Assembly. The?,
veterans of the war will confer in tl
Assembly parlor on Tuesday, and plai
for putting through a liberal interpret!
tion of the Eighteenth Amendment wi
be considered.
Only two or three of the thirty-fi*
are opposed to Colonel Gillett's prograi
' One of these is Lieutenant Colonel The
' dore Roosevelt. His opposition is tw
I fold. Ho believes that for thevex-servi
! men to act as a unit would bo bringii
| the American Legion into politics, ai
! that the Gillett measure would usurp tl
powers of the Federal government in tl
enforcement of prohibition.
Whether Colonel Roosevelt will ta'
a prominent part in the fight again
1 the Gillett bill has not been made cler
! He was opposed for election last year 1
i the Anti-Saloon League. When t
; Cuvillier resolution was adopted by t
: Assembly providing for an investigati
I of the league Colonel Roosevelt vot
"no."
"I believe prohibition should be g:
en a fair chance," said Speaker Swc
to-day, "Until the courts have cc
strued the Eighteenth Amednment a
the Volstead act they remain the li
of the land."
"Does that mean there will be
bill passed at this session providi
j for light wines and beer?" the Speali
. was asked.
"Of course, I can't say what t
'i House is going to do," Mr. Sweet sa
j "I'm not prepared to say what legis
j tion I will favor until after the heari
j next Tuesday on all prohibition mei
1 ures."
When Mr. Sweet announced that
; was against light wines and beers ?
semblyman Hartwell W. Booth,
Oneida County, who was in the Spei
er's room, interrupted to say:
"And, Mr. Speaker, upstate is w
you."
When Colonel Gillett, who cor
from upstate, was told of the Speak?
attitude he remarked:
"If Speaker Sweet takes any si
stand it means his end politically.
! we were to accept that position
might as well adjourn the Lygislat
j and let Congress pass our laws."
i Colonel Gillett was told that Spea
! Sweet said he was opposed to tho li
| wine and beer bill because it ran co
! ter to the Eighteenth Amendment i
the Volstead act. He replied:
? "My bill is not in violation of
j Federal amendment, which gives
states the right to interpret their c
! laws on prohibition under the cone

Negro Tenor's Skill
Wins Large Audien
Roland W. Hayes Shows M
tery of Difficulties of
Foreign Languages
Roland W. Hayes, the negro te
who made his first appearance in I
York a year ago, gave a second rec
at Aeolian Hall lest evening. His i
; urally fine voice was in excellent <
| dition and controlled with skill and
! telligence by tho singer. It was
surprising to hear him sing songs
English with uncommonly fine diet
j but his field is not limited to ni
' spirtuals or English songs of a 1
i nature. He has mastered the difficul
1 of foreign languages, and in
respect his achievements are rem
; able.
Last evening there were three Frc
! numbers on his program, "Le Re
j from Massenet's "Manon"; Fan
j "Clair de Lune," and Duparc's "L'I
? tation nu Voyage." Both the opei
! aria and the song by Duparc pre
'? formidable pitfalls for those incl
? to smear words or blur phrases,
; he sang all three in French with
summate art and a purity of die
I that might well be envied by n
i singers. In other years he has 1
I equally successful with songs in ?
j man and Italian.
Three interesting negro songs of
traditional order, "That Mutte
; Thunder," "Steal Away" and "Witm
i began the program, the first being i
; without accompaniment. Immedit
! following was a group by modern n
composers?Nora Douglas Holt, Ge
; Tyler, Daisy Tapley and Lawrenc

; numbers were by Beethoven, H. T.

? Tipton and tho air "Ch'ella mi Cn
from Puccini's "The Girl of the C
on West." There was a very !
audience and the singer was gene
with extra numbers.
Divorcee for 13th Time,
Retains Faith in Man
Iowa Woman Says Husband
She Remarried Thrice
Is Her Ideal
Special Dispatch to The Tribune
CEDAR RAPIDS, Iowa, March 11.?
Mrs. Alice Yocum to-day is ready for
her fourteenth trip up the aisle that
leads to the altar of matrimonial bliss.
Her thirteenth venture ended like all
the rest, in disaster in the divorce
courts Tuesday, when her husband,
John Yocum, obtained a divorce at
Boone, Iowa, on the grounds of cruol
and inhuman treatment. He charged
that his wife poked a revolver In his
ribs and bade him be gone. That was
more than a year ago and ho only suc?
ceeded in obtaining his freedom Tues?
day.
MrB. Yocum is believed to lead the
country in divorces as well as in re?
marriages to the Bame husband. She
has been wife to ten men and one of
them she married three times. Once
this husband, who was William Alpin,
of this city, obtained the divorce. To?
day she retains the greatest liking for
Alpin, who, she says, was nearest her,
ideal of a man.
Mrs. Yocum, who was Mrs. Fred
Kroner, divorced wife of a wealthy
La Crosse, Wiss., business man,' at the
time she met Alpin, was only married
to him a short time, when she left him
and sued for divorce. It was granted,
and a short time later she was married
to John O'Brien, of this city. A few
months later she learned her divorce
from Alpin was not legal, and she left
O'Brien and was remarried to Alpin.
This time a legal divorce followed.
Mrs. Alpin then married John Hamm,
laundry proprietor, of Clinton, Iowa.
She obtained a divorce from Hamm
and remarried Alpin. He got a divorce.
The next husband was J. M. Harper,
a railroad man, of Omaha, Neb. He
soon wont into the discard and Yocum
became the bridegroom.
All former husbands are living. She
never had any children. Mrs. Yocum
says she has not lost her faith in men.
Mrs. Yocum's lirst husband was
named Curtis, whom she married in
Indiana about eighteen years ago. Her
other marriages took pji.ee in Iowa,
Wisconsin, Michigan, Missouri and
Nebraska.

Details of Alleged
Bribe Offer Bared'
At Trial of Weber
Assistant Accountant Tells
of Obstacles to Incjuiry
and Events Leading Up
to Alleged Violation
Isadore Schlanger, assistant to N. W.
Gropper in the examination of the
Pictorial Review Company by internal
revenue agents, out of which grew the
trial of Jay A. Weber, secretary of the
corporation, on tho charge of attempted
bribery, took the stand yesterday in the
continuation of tho trial in the United
States District Court.
Schlanger'e testimony was similar to
that given by the other government
witness, Gropper. He said that while
conducting? the examination there was
difficulty at times in obtaining neces?
sary records and that Weber produced
the records only after delays and ex?
cuses. Ho noticed, he said, that in 1916,
according to the books, the corporation
made greater profits than in the follow?
ing year, although tho 1917 business
had increased greatly. This was due,
he said Weber told him, to the In?
creased cost of materials and labor.
The witness said losses in stock
transactions of the corporation had
amounted to about $400,000, and had
been deducted on the tax return. Weber
told him, Schlanger testified, that
counsel had advised such a procedure.
Schlanger recounted the frequent
luncheons at various hotels, at which
Weber always paid the bills?and said
that Weber had suggested that he and
Gropper quit the government's service
and go into an accounting partnership.
When Schlanger said that he was
afraid of the financial risk involved, he
declared Weber told him there was no
cause for worry on that scoro.
Gropper, who finished his testimony,
was not on hand when court opened.
He explained when he was brought
into court that he was not feeling well.
Gropper said that all except the first
conversation he had with Weber about
money were for getting Weber to make
a bribe offer. He declared he was act?
ing under instructions from superiors.

And War Veteran, Dies
Entered Presbyterian Ministry
After Gaining Distincton as
Soldier on Union Side
The Rev. Dr. Albert Newton Keigwin,
eighty years old, died yesterday at the
homo of his son, the Rev. Dr. Albert
Edwin Keigwin, pastor of the West
End Presbyterian Church, 324 West
103d Street. ?Six weeks ago he con?

Dr. Keigwin was born in Jefferson
ville, Clark County, Indiana. At the
outbreak of the Civil War he was com?
missioned a captain, and gathered the
first Union troops organized on Ken?
tucky soil. He served with distinction
throughout the war, and for more than

bridge. At the close of the war he was
graduated from Hanover College, which
institution later gave him the degree
of doctor of divinity. He attended the
Princeton Theological Seminary, and
was successively pastor of the First
Presbyterian Church of Lyons (now
Clinton), Iowa; tho Second Presby?
terian Church (now Westminster), of
