Councilman of llio 2Sih Ward, and well-to.
do wool Waste dealer, to Philadelphia
from England to find him remarried with"
out first having: obtained a divorce. Mrs.
Gubbins No. 1 said today alio was determ
ined that ho Bliould support her.
Iter cbmlng has placed v the former
Councilman In a tanglo from which ho
)s endeavoring to extricate Iifnisolf by
means of a divorce suit, charging her
with desertion In England. In addition,
Airs. Gubbins No. 1 charges that a group
cf "political gangsters," Interesting them
selves In tho behalf of Gubbins, havo of
fered her $1000 to leavo tho country.
"I nm determined that ho Bhall sup
port, mo and I will not be 'bought oft or
leavo tho country," sho declared.
Mrs. Gubbins No. 2 declined to make
any comment today.
Gubbtns's attorney, Henry K. Fries,
Bald that It was a "puro case of b,lack
niall," started by Mrs. Gubbins No. 1.
"Wo havo given thoso people $500. Any
report that Mr. Gubbins offered her $1000
to go back to England is untrue," ho
aid.
Ho said that tho $500 was not given to
her as "hush monoy," but refused to say
why it had been given to her.
"The testimony beforo Judge Brown in
August showed that tho wlfo deserted tho
husband, and not the husband tho wife,,
as is tho contention," lio continued.
"Judge Brown dismissed tho potltton be
cause thero were noigrounds for bringing
action for support. flAfter I confer with
,W. II. Wilson I may make a further
Statement."
Gubblna married his nrst wife in London
In 180. They had six children, three of
whom nro living. In 1800 ho camo to
America and four years later married a
Camden woman, now Mrs. Prlscllla Gub
bins. There arc two children of tho
second marriage, Winifred, 17 yeara old
ond Percy, 13 years old. They Hvo at 612
Olney avenue, Olnoy.
SON APPEALED TO GUBBINS.
"William Gubbins, 23 yeara old, a son
by the flrst wife, camo to America In
1011 ond found his father living In Kens
ington with Mrs. Gubbins No. 2. Ho sent
word to his mother, who camo to Phila
delphia last summer.
In March, William Gubbins went to his
father and urged him to support his
mother, picturing tho hard struggle sho
was having In supporting the children.
On thjs occasion, according to tha son,
Gubbins had him arrested; on a charge of
assault and battery.
Magistrate Campbell, of the Belgrade
and Clearfield streets station, sentenced
him to Jail, but ho was discharged after
serving part 6f the sentence, through the
Intervention of friends.
Mrs. Gubbins, when she first arrived in
Philadelphia in August, learned that her
.husband and his second wlfo wcro at
Stpno Harbor.N. J... with their children.
Sho took no action untl they relumed,
when she had him summoned before
Judgo Brown charging him with deser
tion and asking ror separate support.
The petition was dismissed because
Judge Brown qould not determine, tho
'status of Gubbins, according to John Mc
Conaghy, Jr., an attorney in tho Frank
lin Bank Building, who represented Mrs.
Gubbins No. 1.
CJAlLS IT CASE OP BLACKMAIL
"My mother reoolved a letter Decem
ber 18, purporting to bo signed by John
JL Strong, -vice president of tho West
End 'Trust Company, stating that Henry
IC Fries, my father's lawyer, had de
posited $1000 in the trust company. This
money was to be paid to my mother's
attorney upon tho entry of the divorce
itecree," said William Gubbins.
Notice of the divorce proceedings was
nerved 10 days ago at the home of George
JfOrapklnson, 13U Narragansett avenue,
where Mrs. Gubbins and her son are liv
ing. Mrs. Gubbins, who is 67 years old,
in employed as a servant In the home
pi a Germantown family.
The son is a houseman at the Rltz
Carlton Hotel.
Tompklnson. who la familiar with the
lease, said Gubbins had given Mrs. Gub
bins No. 1 $500 In cash with a promise
of $1000 more if she would leave. She de
manded a weekly allowance. A fourth of
tha $500 was retained by the attorney,
said Tompkinson. Six weeks ago, he
said, Mrs. Gubbins went to her hus
bands place of business, 2120 East Somer
set street, in an effort to get money.
The libel for divorce asserts that Gub
bins and his flrst wife were married Oc
tober 25, 1830. Gubbins accuses his wife
of deserting him nine years later. Just
prior to his coming to America.

CABINET MEETS TO
HEAR U. S. DEMAND
Continued from Pago Ono
easily bo disposed of. It was pointed out
that on at least a few of the points
raised thero Is a wido difference of opinion
on tho part of International law experts,
and that It was very probable that on
these very points lengthy negotiations
with tho United States probably would
bo necessary.
Certain of tho members of tho Cabinet
take tho position that there aro no exist
ing precedents that opcrato In tho pres
ent case. They hold that, whllo the
United States has the right to Insist on no
interference with vessels which carry car
goes that aro boyond question composed
of non-contraband articles, It cannot en
force Its protests whero tho British Gov
ernment Is in possession of positive In
formation that cargoes of conditional con
traband aro intended finally to reach
Germany and Austria, oven though thoso
cargoes aro In neutral bottoms and con
signed to neutral flrfns In neutral coun
tries. This Is especially the case In the various
cargoes of meat stuffs which have been
seized and which are said to be owned
by tho big American packing flrms. Tho
same holds true of other kinds of food
stuffs and also with the "cargoes of abso
lute contraband seized consigned to Italy
and certain of tho Scandinavian countries,
In tho opinion of thoso Cabinet officials.
From conversation with officials It Is
learned, however, that tho British Gov
ernment receives In a perfectly friendly
spirit tho feeling that America, in send
ing tho protest, Is moved by tho Bamo
feeling.
The real danner of the situation Is not
from the British Government, which rec
ognizes the legitimacy of America's agi
tation, but In arousing an unfavorable
public opinion here which Is likely to
turn In the direction of considering
America's action unfriendly and lead to
accusations that American sympathy Is
governed by commercial profits.
Tho Government faces a difllcult prob
lem of tremendous proportions. In fact
tho American Government has presented
Inquiries which England will have tho
utmost difficulty in answering,, England,
on tho ono hand, is concerned with tho
vital question of keeping certain articles
out of Germany and Austria, and on the
other with not unduly interfering with
neutral commerce.
Great Britain Is In difficulties not only
with America, but also with other neu
tral states, particularly those bordering
Germany and Austria. It Is regarded as
not Improbable that Great Britain will In
the end be compelled to Impose pew
principles of International law regarding
(the treatment of contraband on account
of the unprecedented situation of her
opponents being surrounded by neutrals
through which goods can be shipped.
LONDON PRESS TAKES
CONCILIATORY ATTITUDE
Believes Good Will of Two Nations
"Will Solve Problem.
LONDON, Dec 30.
Tho editorial attitude of the press to
ward President Wilson's protest is gen
erally of a conciliatory nature. It Is
pointed out that only a summary of tho
note has .been received, and that final
Judgment should be withheld until tho
complete text of the protest can be taken
under consideration.
"This question was bound to come up,"
says the Pall Mall Gazette, "and the
only true solution Is to be found In the
firm good will which exists between
England and the United States. We are
certain that tho English Government has
done all It can to mitigate the lncon
vonlence to neutrals which has been
caused by tho exorcise of those rights to
which we were strictly entitled as
belligerents. Furthermore, we are certain
that the Government is prepared to go
still farther in the same direction If a
way can be pointed out which doesn't
militate against tho use of our greatest
weapon, which Is being used In every
legitimate way to bring the war to a
successful and speedy conclusion.
"But Juat as we are prepared to meet
tho views of neutral nations In eveey
way possible, so we must claim from
them, and from the United States In
particular, that they recognize our diffi
culties and aid us In an endeavor to re
gard their Interests."
The Evening Btandard cannot think
that a spirit of hostility prevails In the
United States. It says:
"It Is impossible to think that elther
Presldent Wilson or the United States
Government made a protest in any spirit
of hostility to Great Britain. Nor can
the navy exercise Its undoubted right to
make search upon the high seas and to
make seizures without mistakes. For
any such mistakes there will be repara
tion and upon the United State we de
pend to regard them (the mistakes) with
toleration such as Is due from a neutral
Power to a combatant."
The Evening Nep, owned by Lord
Northcllffe, says:
"Wo havo every confidence that, aa
difficult as the question seems to be from
a standpoint of international law, a,
means will be found to adjust all exist
ing differences. Americans know well
enough that the matter Is largely one of
common eenio. It Is unthinkable that
two great friendly nations should, treat
the matter in any except a friendly way."

AMERICAN PRAUD
BLAMED 6N$AR(iOBS
Continued from Fare 6ns
been of cargoes destined to neutral
European countries With which the
export trade of the United State
has Increased by $p and bounds
since the outbreak of War,
Tho British represent that in the case
of ono American vessel starched they
found In the bottom of the hold a enrgo
of copper painted to resemble iron. This
deception, contend the British, could never
have been Uncovered had not the vessel
been taken to a port, and this entails
delay.
In soma cases, (ho British assert, tho
American shlpperA have boon guilty of
fraud In their Manifests, and tho dls?
covory of this- practice In a few cases
makes necessary a. search and delay of
tho cargoes of' honest shippers, which Is
Injurious to them, which Is regrettable,
but which ls.necessary for tho protection
of British Interests.
Figures obtalnod here today upon the
British contention that It cannot bo the
British Interference which Is Injuring
American export trade to neutral Euro
pean countries or that It Is "responsible
for depression In many American Indus
tries" show that not only has tho Amer
ican export trado with theso neutral coun
tries shown n. remarkable Increaso since
tho outbreak of war, but that tho trado
with Europe generally, In splto of tho
inevitable loss of .trade with Germany
and Austria-Hungary, has declined but
13 per cent., ns compared with a decline
of 17 per cent. In tha exports of tho United
States to tho world at largo.
Tha, Inference to be drawn from tis,
ndmlL trado experts. Is that tho loss of
buslttbss Is not duo to tho British action,
but to a. lack of ships and to general busi
ness depression. However, so far as the
export trado of tho country Is concerned.
It was In November within $40,000,000 of
normal as shown by tho figures of 1913.
The loss In exports to Europe has been
about $19,000,000, and overy country thero
has shown an Increase In purchases from
tho United States savo Gormany, Austrla
Itungary, Belgium, Russia and tho Neth
erlands. Ambassador Pago at London cabled the
State Department today that ho had pre
sented tho American noto of protest to
tho British Foreign Office. Tho actual
text of tho noto was placed In tho hands
of Lord Huldanc yesterday, acting head
of tho Foreign Office, In the absence of
Sir Xdward Grey, tho cablegram said.
PROTEST NOT PEREMPTORY,
SAYS SOLICITOR LANSING
Time for XT. S. to ITako Stand, De
clares Senator.
WASHINGTON, Dec 30. Counselor
Lansing, one of the framera of tho United
States' protest to Great Britain, said the
noto was so phrased that the urgency of
a reply was not indicated.
"Great Britain, of course, may desire to
tako plenty of tlmo beforo replying," ho
said. "Thero was nothing that hinted of
a peremptory tone in the note."
Officials today emphasized tho fact that
tho protest rested upon a prlnclplo which
this Government seeks to havo under
stood definitely, and that tho question of
contraband thus far was only a side
Issue. The contraband problem, It was
predicted, would be taken up In later
negotiations, and specific cases which
have como to tho Government's attention
will form the basis of protest.
Emphatic approval from tho Democratic
sldo of the Senate of President Wilson's
note to tho British Government was heard
today.
"Wo ought to stand pat," declared Sen
ator Chamberlain, of Oregon, chairman
of the Senate Committee on Military Af
fairs. "I would not listen for ono mo-
mont to excuses In this case, but would
Insist they stop their Interference. It Is
tha samo old question that Involved us
In wr with Great Britain In 1S12, and
they havo always maintained that they
had the right of search at sen. It Is
tlmo for the United States to stand Its
ground."
Senator Shafroth, of Colorado, said:
"I approve the action taken by tho
President. It Is a good thing; It will not
bring hostilities, but It will bring an In
quiry Into tho whole question. If tho
shippers havo been practicing fraud, that
Will be brought out, and the frauds will
havo to stop. If frauds aro not being
practiced, that also will bo established
and the situation cleared."
Senator Pomcrene, of Ohio, said:
"The action taken In this matter is
very opportune. It Is also very much
needed. I fully approve of It."
CARGOES FROM THIS PORT
WERE HELD UP BY BRITISH
Philadelphia Shippers Pleased at
Protest on Seizures.
In maritime and shipping circles It was
said today that England has frequently
exceeded its rights In detaining American
vessels and that the action of the United
States in demanding indemnification fdr
tho loss caused by the delay Is only right
and Just.
One of the flagrant violations of the
rights of American ships on the high seas.
It was pointed out, was the seizure of the
Amerlcaa steamship John D. Rockefeller,
which left this port on September 26 for a
Scandinavian port with a cargo of nearly
3,000,000 gallons of oil in her tanks.
This vessel was overhauled by a British
warship two weeks later and compelled to
put Into Stonaway, England. Here she
was bed for two weeks, while an exami
nation was being made by British authori
ties. This examination consisted of a
cursory look at the manifests and much
telegraphing and cablegraming. Each
day the vessel lay at the English port
meant a loss of at least 1500 to her owners.
The action of Great Britain In this case
was unwarranted, according to snippers.
The vessel was a now one, fresh from
the yards of the Newport News Ship
building Company, There was no ques
tion as to the ownership or nationality
of the vessel.
Other vessels held up by England have
been the tank steamships BrindlUlo,
Flaturia and the American Una steamship
Finland. The latter case wa the one
which led the State Department to take
action. The vessel, with a large num
ber of passengers on board, was detained
at Gibraltar because she carried several
tons of copper consigned to Italy,
DEMANDS ON BRITAIN
OPPOSED BY XT, S. SENATOR
WASHINGTON. Deo. 80. President
Wilson's declaration that the United
States would demand millions of dollars
damages from Great Britain as a result
of the British Interference with American
commerce is unnecessary at this time. In
the opinion of Senator John Sharp Wil
liams, of Mississippi, a member of the
Senate Foreign Relations Committee.
"I do not see the necessity of pressing
claims against Great Britain for tho free
dom with which British warships have
Interfered with American commerce,"
aid tha Senator, "International laws and
treaties fully cover such claims and there
Is no need for haste. But I do not re
gard the President insistence that the
United States will demand these millions
of dollars damages as an unwise step,
for It Is a question that could have been
raised at tha start.
