MRS. M'KEE'S COUNSEL
DENIES VILE CHARGES
DIVORCE SUIT RESUMED IN
FRENCH COURT
Attorney Declares the Real Object Of
the Case Is TO BesmIrch the
Woman's Reputation in
America

BY Associated Press.
PARIS, April s.-The Hart Mckee
divorce suit was continued today
Maitre Barbour, on behalf of Mrs. Nc
Kee, concluded the pleading in re-
buttal.
The Italian nobleman with whom 1t
is alleged Mrs. Mckee had improper
relations at a chateau at Varennes was
identified as the Marquis Guglieni.
M. Barbour denied Mr.. Mckee's alle-
cations and offered to produce testi-
mony to disprove the charges. He de-
clared that the real object of the de-
Tense was not to furnish Information
to the French court but to besmircf
Mrs. McKee's reputation in America
and secure the publication there OF
certain letters she had written TO her
husband.
Advancing to a position close to the
bar and speaking in voice inaudible
to the people in the court, M. Barbour
read to the judge to demonstrate the
animus of Mckee, a translation of the
secret code words used in the letters
between the couple.
This man." NJ Barbour declared
"has failed to comprehend that in in
sulting his former wife he also insult:
the mother of his child"
NJ Labor, for Mckee, will reply to-
morrow.
The court will hand down its decision
after April 10.

called up in the house and passed to-

After Mr.. Clayton of Alabama de-

said:
"Does any one suppose that by the

when would you get your relief?
Where would you get your cheaper

TRACK
BILL DEFEATED
Continued from Page One,

said that the point at issue was not
a motion of the minority leader; the
real question was the right OF Senator
Agnew to control the question of re-
considering the vote on his own bill.
In support of the precedent of ''sena-
torial courtesy he would give Senator
Agnew his vote. This action saved the
bills from utter destruction and made
possible another contest.
Under the rules of the senate the
presiding officer has the deciding vote
in case of a tie upon all purely parlia-
mentary questions. He has no vote
upon the direct question of the pass
age of the bills. For this reason he
could not have broken the tie by
which the bills were defeated.
There is an incidental question, tech
nical but important, whether in the
case of one of the bills the procedure
has not left Senator Agnew with only
three days in which to move recon
sideration. The parliamentarians were
earnestly discussing this tonight.
May Call Extra Session
Whether Governor Hughes will call
an extra session to begin perhaps inn
mediately upon the adjournment of the
regular session, to begin consideration
of this and perhaps other matters, Is
the subject of speculation tonight
Not a syllable can be obtained from the
executive chamber upon that aspect OF
the question.
A kindred matter which may become
of some Importance in this connection
relates to the vacancy caused by the
death of Senator Franchet. 1t is known
the governor is carefully considering
the matter of calling a special election
to fill the vacancy. Serious constitu-
tional problems are concerned.
Senator Franchet was elected under
the old apportionment which the court
of appeals has since declared uncon-
stitutional. The new apportionmeni
passed at the extra session last veal
rearranged the senate districts, but
left that particular district as it wa:
before, consisting of the same counties
Niagara and Orleans.
Whether Senator Franchet's place
can be filled by special election under
a different apportionment is a question
which the constitutional lawyers art
debating tonight. The question in.
wolves the possibility of new senator
furnishing a new vote for or against
the race track bills, by the time they
are considered again.
