CHICAGO, June 8. William Rapp's de
fense ngnlnst the divorce suit of hta wife.
j Mine. Ernestine Schumann-Helnk, ceasnd
suddenly today with the testimony of
onfy four witnesses and the caBe was
given over to tho attorneys for argument.
Owing to the fact that Rapp filed a
cross bill charging his wife with a statu
tory offense a large crowd packed the
sweltering court room eager for testi
mony bearing on the counter allegation.
They were disappointed.
Bryan Humphries, who was the con
tralto's Chauffeur for six weeks last
winter, and Miss Helen Sattler, her trav
eling companion since 1910, were wit-
nwsscs.
Humphries testified, he had glimpses of
Georgo Baldwin of Appleton, Wis., off
and' on at his employer's home In Chi
cago. Miss Sattler said she had known
Baldwin for two years and that she taw
him last around Christmas, 1913. She said
also that a policeman with a fine voice
visited the madame at her home In Cald
well, N. J., for slngtng lessons.
"He had a wonderful voice, but all tho
technique he had he got from dropping
' nickels In phonographs," witness said.
"Ho was a wonderful man, too, wasn't
he?" Insinuated Benjamin Smith, Rapp's
lawyerl
"I didn't nay he was a wonderful man;
I said he had a wonderful voice," snapped
the witness.
In Chicago, Miss Sattler said her em
ployer always slept on the second floor
In a room next to her daughter, Marie. A
door was always open betwvn the two
rooms, she suld.
When Mme. -Shumann-Helnk rented a
cottage at Culver, lnd., on tho occasion
of her son'fl graduation, It was s6 that
his friends might be, received and enter
tained. J3ajdwln jspent 'one ;nlghtthera
and" slept in a room under that of the
witness.
Mme. Schumann-Helnk. was called and
was asked only one question.
."What was the date of yaur.marrlage
to Paul Schumann?" asked the attorney,
and objection by counsel for the singer
as sustained,
More Impassioned letters addressed to
Mrs. Catherine Dean and alleged to have
been written by Itapp. were Introduced.
There was a bit of comedy between the
lines. Under date of August 1, 1913, the
writer of the letters said:
"I wrote you Friday, Saturday, Sunday.
Monday I did not write, as I had con
ferences all day till late at night. Tues
day and Wednesday I wrote again. Yes
terday I waited all day for a letter from
you and I was discouraged at not hearing
from you."
The reason the writer did not hear
from Mrs, Dean was told In court by
Miss Prances J. Ashton, a nurso em
ployed as a detective by counsel for Mme.
Schumann-Helnk. She was tho first
witness of the day and testified she
roomed with Mrs. Dean from time to

Man Who Invaded
Buckingham Palace
Only Plain Drunk
LONDON, Junfc . Harry Pike, who
yesterday startled the authorities by In
vading Buckingham palace, Is not a suf
fragette agent, according to the attorney
for the prosecution at Bow Street police
court today.
The man who clambered over a ten
foot spiked wall and eluded sentinels, po-
! lice guards and servants, did so whll'j
'under the Influence of drink and without
any ulterior object, says the lawyer.
After overcoming all the obstacles Pike
strolled about for a long time In the in
terior of the palace, which he explored
from basement to sixth floor. It was
only when he entered an occupied room
that he was arrested.
He had changed his clothing for a suit
belonging l(- a servant, as he had' torn
and soiled h!s own clothes In climbing
the wall and crawling across the grounds.

Point Arc Void.
WASHINGTON, Juno 8.-Tho supremo
court today upheld the Interstate Com
merce commission's orders in tho Shrevo
port rate case, thus placing the Interstati
railroads more under the commission and
less under state commissions,
Justice Hughes announced the court's
decision. He spoke of the unrestricted
power of the Interstate Commerce com
mission over Interstate commerce, Baying
the commission was expressly created to
prevent conflicting state legislation.
Justice Hughes pointed out that con
gress and not the states had tho powor
to prevent the Instruments of interstate
commerce from being used so as to In
jure interstate commerce. t
The far-reaching effect 'of the declslou
lies In the fact that rates which the In
terstate Commerce commission ordered
Indirectly Increased to ' remove discrim
ination, were prescribed by tho Texas
state railroad commission. Under , the
federal commission's order the only way
the railroads may escape conflict, with
the Texas commission Is to reduce tin
Interstate rates from Bhreveport to Texan
cities, so as to put the Louisiana city "n
a competitive basis with Texas Jobbing
centers.
Justice Hughes expressly, lecognlzvd the
Importance of the case, so stating as. he
concluded his opinion.
"But it Is essential," he added, "that
Interstate commerce have one master
and not many."
