Hersmother, Mrs. S. J. Wingate, and her brother, Frank Wingate, street car employe on the Benson-Al bright line, heard the trial. “I have burned and I will continue to burn all the powder and paint Pauline brings Into the house," Mrs. Wingate said after the hearing.

His diplomatic career began In 1897, when he was named by Presiden McKinley as envoy extraordinary and minister planipotentiar of the Unted States to Austria Hungary. Two years later he was advanced to ambassadorial rank and sent to Russia, and from there went to Berlin In 1907. So popular did he become with members of the German court that he was invariably selected to sit next to the then Emperor William during formal state dinners—a practice which brought many caustic com ments from the representative* of other governments. Fickle as Emperor William was known to be with his good graces. Mr. Tower managed to remain in favor for the entire six years of his diplo matic stay in Berlin,* and was even the innocent cause of an embarras sing International caper when he re tired In 1908. The emperor said at a dinner that he was "very angry with President Roosevelt" for accept ing Mr. Tower's resignation, and while the remark was intended mere ly to emphasize the regard he had for the retiring ambassador, it was immediately construed as a slur on David Jayne Hill, the famous Amer ican historian and diplomat, who wss named to succeed Mr, Tower.
