MOTHER4N-LAW
SUED FOR SLANDER

NEW YORK, Oct. 22.-Since the
death of William J. Barker, Jr-, his
widow, Mrs. Helen L. Barker, alleges
her mother-in-law has been circulat-
ing false and defamRtory stories sur
rounding incidents in her martial life
and occurrences on the night Of the
fire in which their home was de-
stroyed.
Upon statements attributed to the
mother-in-law, now Mrs. Mary B. Fa-
reira, the plaintiff filed an action In
the Supreme Court, Westchester
county, alleging slander and demand
ing damages of 100000.
In her complaint Mrs. Barker states
that she and her husband lived con
genially together from the date of
their marriage, September. "a, 1908.
until his death. She charged her
mother-in-law with having tried to
estrange them, and asserted she was
always a loving and devoted wife.
Last May, the plaintiff alleges.
Mrs Fareira said to Mrs. Adams;
. why, il she had not been upstairs
carrying on with men friends on the
night OF the fire, Billy would be liv-
ing today, but, poor boy, I guess he
would rather be dead than live the
life he Hived with her.
you know ii was through Mrs
Billy (meaning the plaintiff), as the
boys called her, that my son started
TO drink. I guess you don't know
great deal Of the 'gOings on at her
home. She saw to It that her friend
was saved, but did not save her hus.
band. She begged the butler to get
her rugs for her friend to be wrapped
In and stand on. and did not ask any
one to look for Billy. Doesn't 1t strike
you as very peculiar that my son had
TO burn and those two were saved?
She did not ask the butler to save
him Billy had to keep her men
friends and do as she said or she had
hysterics.7
Mrs. Barker denied there was any
justification for the alleged state
ments. Beyond acknowledging the
service OF the complaint, Mrs. Fareira
yesterday declined to comment on the
action.

SAYS DEMOCRATS
MUST Be ELECTED

If the hands OF the President are
TO be upheld and the war program
successfully concluded the election
OF Democrats to the Senate is neces-
sary, according to statement is
sued by Senator Peter Gerry OF
Rhode Island, chairman of the DEM
ocratic Senatorial Committee
There perhaps has never been
time in the history of our country"
said the Senator, when the decision
of the voters was OF such para
mount Importance as it will be Oh
next election day. The effect o.
their action will be far-reaching, not
only on the future of this country
but on that of the world
@If the president is to receive
whole-hearted support; II entire con-
fidence and aid is to be given him:
II he is to stand forth as a spokes-
man of a united people, ii can only
be done by electing to the Senate
men of his political faith.
10 argue that a Democratic Pres
ident can work with Republican Sen
ators with the same degree of har-
mony, no matter how loyal they
may be, is an absurdity, for a Re
publican majority in the Senate
