MADE OUT IN HER FAVOR

An effort to save Virginius st. j..
Mayo, the New Haven manufacturer.
from being compelled to tell Of his
various matrimonial adventures was
made yesterday before Supreme Court
Justice Newburger when his attorneys
applied to vacate an order for the eX-
animation Of Mayo.
The order was obtained by Miss viii.
helmina Meyer. also known as Mrs.
Mayo. who was the accredited wife Of
the manufacturer at the time Of the
suicide of Miss Lillian May Cook. his

in addition to hts wife In New Haven
Mayo had ono IN Scranton. Pa. and was
also maintaining an establishment In
Brooklyn. The New Haven wife has
decided that Mayo never was legally
married TO her and asks s250.0O for
the deception.
Ralph NJ. Gillette. attorney for Miss
Meyer. said that she wants to ami
Mayo TO md out who is the beneficiary
of life insurance policies costing him
$4,000 u year in premiums. The attor-
ney's argument revealed for the first
time that when his client concluded that
she wasn't Mayo'a wife he refused to
permit her to take her clothing and

though he was poor she recognized his
business ability and accepted him. They
were married April .. 1904. They lived

The plaintiff says that when Mayo
first got into the limelight a year ago
he protested his innocence and she be-
lieved him. Then the Scranton Mrs.
Mayo was heard from and the plaintiff
says she would have left him then but
re denied knowing the other woman.
When the Scranton wife divorced him
tho p~laintif says she became convinced
that Mayo had deceived her. and asked
him to rewcd her. but he refused. She
then left the home, where she had six
automobiles and three servants, neglect
ing to take even her clothing and Jew
elry. She came to New York and made
her home at 402 West 153d street.
The plaintiff said that when the cold
weather set In last November she needed
some of her clothing In New Haven
and wrote for the articles she wanted.
Mayo ignored her letters and finally
she went for her property with "a writ
Of replevin. while she was looking over
: her wardrobe and selecting what she
wanted Mayo arrived and began to
abuse her. She said. She alleges that
when shc was leaving tho house Maya
said "Nou Will never get - cent from

The plaintiff wants to find out chiefly
whether Mayo has changed any Of the
insurance policies which were In her

OTTAWA. Jan. 13.-what promises to

ter. including new measures for raising

extension OF the life Of Parliament for
a year
In his speech the Governor-Gcncrai

for the material aid given to Great Brit
ain In the war. He declared that the
recent call extending the authorized
Canadian enlistment to 500. 900 nae been
received with warm enthusiasm. lie
continued
THE call to service has evoked a
widespread and notable response In
Canada. Already 10000 men have
crossed the seas. and an equal number
are now being actively trained and
equipped for service broad.
AT the front our gallant soldiers have
met the enemy In repeated contests and
by their preeminent courage and perse-
verance have spread lustre upon their
country and upheld its traditions.
Equally ~praiseworthy has been the
se~lf-sa6'ifce and loyal spirit shown by
all the Canadian people. who have freely
dedicated their manhood and substance
to the common defence of the empire.
The high courage and the splendid
determination which have marked the
united efforts of all portions of his
MaJesty's dominions during "A year of
unprecedented strain and effort justify
our supreme confidence in the triumph OF
liberty and Justice throughout the
world"
The proposed measure To extend the
life OF Parliament for a yea from the
date Of it's expiration liz expected to Civ,
rise to a sharp Parliamentary struggle
and indeed may determine the character
and result OF the entire session. Sir VIII
