witness replied that Mr*,
had requested him to put In
the detail* of ht» convtna
or negotiation with Mr. Wenden
“Then why did you come to Kich

Mr. Fullou asked.

Asked to tell what occurred be

"Mrs. Tenney is ruined already,"
Mr. Wendenourg told me. lie aald
that they had had a colored man in
the house and a detective on the out
side. "they would show that 1 had
been there at unreasonably late
hours,*' he aald, "and would show that
I could not have been playing domi
noes."
"1 replied that I had no fear that
they would prove anything against
me, as i had done nothing. '
"Did Mr. Wcndenburg threaten
you ?’■
*'In a veiled way he did. saying that
If one thing could not be proved an
other could, and that he expected to
prove that if I had not been guilty
of misconduct with Airs. Tenney 1 was
probably mixed up with fur (laugh

Questions by Wmilenhiirg.
Attorney Wcndenburg next took the
witness with the view of showing, he
said, that he had made no improper ;
proposal.- to him.
"Did 1 make any threat to you,
and did I not explain that l did not
want to bring In Altcs Tenney, and
did I not say that she was a pure,
■tract girl?" he asked. _ _
"Tn so many words you did not
directly threaten me. but you firmly
Ilxed In my mind that you intended
to implicate me with At Iks Tenney
in case you failed to connect my
name with Mrs. Tenney," Mr. Tyler
answered.
"How would that threaten you?”
"Vou knew that Mrs. Tenney would
do all In her power to protect her
daughter even by falsely Incriminat
ing herself. Vou also knew that not
wishing to be brought Into the case
3 might in some way Influence Mrs.
Tenney to compromise"
"Did Mrs. Tenney ever buy you a
wine supper?"
"I took supper with Mrs. Tenney
and her daughter. 1 was their guest
and could hardly have been expect
ed to offer to pay for the meal."
"Can you tell the court of a single
improper proposition I made to you ?"
"I can! You tirmiy ilxed in my mind
that a threat against me was Intend
ed; you Indicated that your case
against Air* Tenney was very weak,
•aylttg that ydu had only one charge
which you could bring, that it was
merely circumstantial and four years
old. You shoowed plainly how you
could and would get me into trouble.
"You said that if I could arrange
matters with Mrs. Tenney her hus
band would take earn of me You
aald: 'If you get Mrs. Tenney to
compromise, com- to see me and I’ll
fix It all right with you"
"Did you see Mr*. Tenney?"
"I did.”
Mr. Wcndenburg said he had no
more questions to ask, and as Mr.
Koyal, counsel for Airs. Tenney, wish
ed time to prepare answers to the
several affidavits filed by Mr. Kult.on,
court was adjourned until (l oliork
when Mr ' Wcndenburg .will probably
take the stand In ^ttlfv'oWn defense.

WASHINGTON, April 26.—Twenty
one American republics took posses
sion to-day of the new $750,000

Park. President Tatt was there and
with the donor, planted a peace tree

Knox, former Secretary Eilhu Koot,
Andrew Carnegie and the Mexican
umbageaflor, Francesco de la Barra.
' ther latter on behalf of tne Lattn
Amorlcan diplomatic corps. This
evening the governing board of the |
1 bureau of American republics will :
give a reception to Mr. und Mrs. An
drew Carnegie.
The new institution represents an .
outlay of $1,0011,000, the greater por- j
itlon of which was supplied by Mr. |
Carnegie. It is a beautiful structure
rf white marble of a combined classi
cal and Spanish type. One of its
attractive features is the patio, tilled
with tropical plants and flowers from
the various republics
Upon the walls ni the building are
the escutcheons in colors of the
American repumics ■ on names ox
their heroes of war and peace. An
drew Carnegie tails it a temple of
peace, commerce and friendship," and i
Senator Koot once referred to it as
a capitol In the capital of the Vnlted I
States of all the American nations." ;
Mr. Knox Sounds Keynots.
Secretary of State, Knox Hounded
the k< ynote of the exercises. He said; .
‘‘Mr. !‘resident. Ladies and Gentle
men: I feel that I am especially!
privileged In taking part in the !
auspicious ceremony of the dedication j
of the building to be devoted to the j
cause of peace and good will between ,
the republics of Latin-America. It 1*
more than a privilege, it is a duty In
cumbent on me to voice the sympathy !
of ttie United States in the great work
which it is the mission of the Interna
tional Bureau of American Republics
to accomplish and to give renewed j
assurance, if such be needed, of the
earnest and unseltish purpose of the
government and people of the United
States, to do all that lies within their
power towards the fulfillment of the .
high task set before you.
Canadians So light.
Andrew Carnegie, In his address,
practically extended an Invitation to
Canada to join the brotherhood.
"Nor would we exclude from friend
ly co-operation," he said, “our grow
ing neighbor of the North, who enjoys
like ourselves government of and for
and by the people, should she in the
course ol' time decide with the cor
dial approval of her illustrious par
entland to enter the brotherhood, thus
| extending it over the entire conti
nent, an area nearly four times at
large as Europe. Surely such a spec
tacle would soon lead the whole elv
iized world to follow."

the Pan-American idea.
Senator Root Speaks.
Senator Root dwelt upon the oppor
tunities of the bureau In promoting
International peace and arbitration,
and referred pointedly to type of trou
ble-making dictator, of which former
President Zelaya Is an example.
Summing up. he said:
"May men hereafter come to see
that here is set a milestone In the
path of American civilization towarc
fhe reign of the universal piihllr opin
ion which shall condemn all, who
through contentious spirit of greed or
selfish ambition or lust for power,
disturb the public peace as enemies I
