MILLIONAIRE STOKES
SUED BY A WOMAN.
Miss lueette Ryiey Makes Claim
Against Him For Horse
and Carriage.

NEW YORK, May 2.-W. f. D.
Stokes Is the defendant In an inter.
esting suit brought by Mrs. Lucy NJ.
Randolph, who is IS years old and de.
scribed as being unusually pretty, and
who alleges that the millionaire IS
wrongfully depriving her Of the use
OF horse and carriage, which, she
says, he presented to her. She de.
MES his right to disturb her posses.
sion Of the animal and e1uipage and
asks the court to compel Mr.. Stokes
to return It forthwith or award her
$500, Its equivalent in value. She
also asks for $1,000 damages for the
six months she has been deprived OF
It's use.
Mr.. Stokes makes sweeping de-
NAL in his answer and asks that the
complaint be dismissed. It Is un.
derstood that should the case reach
trial his defense will be of a startling
character.
Friends Of the pretty complainant
say that the present action is n sort
of preliminary skirmish. It Is said
that a rupture in the friendship which
had existed between the plaintiff and
the defendant led to the withdrawal
of the carriage, the use Of which Mrs.
Randolph had had for two years.
Mrs. Randolph is at present living
in an apartment building which Mr..
Stokes constructed. The name OF the
building readily Identifies the owner.
She was formerly known as Miss LII.
cette llyley. and II was as Miss Ryley
that she first met Mr.. Stokes, five
years ago, when diving at No. 2GO
West Seventy-second street. g.
After the rupture, it is said, Mr..
Stokes issued orders that Mrs. Ran.
dolphs orders regarding her horse
and carriage should be dlsregarled.
Mrs. Randolph was frequently seen in
the park behind housekeeping cob.
which bore on the harness her mono
gram, as did the panels Of her vic
toria.

WANTS "BUTT in"
China REQUESTS A HEARING At
PEACE CONFERENCE.
Claims She 10 vitality Interested In
Proceedlngs-Russia Favors suooes-
tion, but Japan Will Not Consent
Armistiee Looked for Middle Of
August.

Washington, July 11.-China's re-
quest to be represented in the Wash
ington conference, on the ground that
she is vitality interested In its pro-
ceedings, has been received by the
president and informally transmitted
to the belligerents. Whether the presi-
dent has received the formal replies
can not be learned. but it can be
stated that while Russia is inclined to
favor the suggestion Japan will not
consent to 1t.
Japan has already made public her
assurance that Manchuria is to be re-
stored to China. That is one of the
principles for which she says she has
been fighting. Japan regards herself
as fully capable of executing this
promise without the assistance of
China, and in view of China's inability
before the war to cope with Russia in
Manchuria, the Japanese government
is unable to see what possible service
a Chinese representative would be in
the Washington conference.
Moreover, the Japanese have all
along taken the position that when
peace negotiations were begun they
would be conducted directly with Rus.
STA. 1t is altogether unlikely that the
Washington government will press the
claim of China. and the official view
here fails to sympathize with the idea
The past week has seen few develop
ments in the plans for the negotia
tons. Negotiations for an armistice
are not expected to be concluded un
til after the plenlpotentiaries meet. II
is pointed out again that the beginning
Of the rainy season in the war zone
removes the necessity for the imme
date signing of an armistice. Little
doubt is felt however, that this will
be the first subject discussed by the
plenipotentiaries and probably theiI
initial act will be the signing of q
protocol providing for the cessation Of
hostilities for limited period.
No place has yet been finally select
ed for the holding of the conference
but some place in New England will
certainly be selected. 1t is believed
here that the choice lies between
Portsmouth, N. H., and Portland, Ne.
with the chances in favor of the
former.
1t is believed here that instead Of
the president making the tedious trir
to Washington to meet the plenipoten
tiaries, the plan which will be adopted
is for the plenipotentiaries to go te
Oyster Bay, where they will be Jointly
received by the president and formally
presented to each other. They coult
go by boat thence to the place selected
for the conference, returning to Wash
ngton at the conclusion of their labor
for the formal signing of the treaty Of
Washington, provided their labors are
so successful.

BURIED ALIVE AND MAY DIE.
Victim Of Fake Hypnotism Drunk II
His Grave.

His Grave.
A man going by the name of Beno
allowed himself to be buried alive by
a man named Mars, an aeronaut, at
Elko, New, a few days ago, and after
living for two days in his tomb he
was taken from the place in an uncon.
scious condition and will probably die
from the effects Of his experience.
A small tube reached from the top
of his coffin to the top Of the grave
and the populace of Elko were charged
10 cents to look upon the man buried
alive. Mars was supposed to be un.
der a hypnotic spell and carried his
part out well until afternoon, when
he was seen to be struggling in his
casket and gasping for breath. It ap-
pears that he had been supplied with
whisky through tube by which he
had been fed and had become drunk.
He rolled against the tube and all air
was shut out from the grave.
A farmer looking through the tube
saw Beno struggling for air, and with
number Of companions Immediately
dug him out of the tomb, but not be.
fore he was nearly dead.
