Hotel Owner and Railway
Head Files Confession
of Son He Named as
Correspondent in Suit
Tells of Stormy Dinner
Wife Asks Cancellation of
Transfer of Property to
Realty Firm in 1917
Tells of Stormy Dinner

". E. D. Stokes, hotel owner and
railway president, who is suing Mrs.
Helen L. Stokes for divorce, naming
her stepson, W. +. d. Stokes, jr.. as
ono of several correspondents. filed
with Justice Gavegan yesterday his re-
plying affidavit to the counter claim
of his wife for a separation and her
motion for alimony. With his papers
Mr.. Stokes filed note written to him
by his son, whom he names in his
action against his second wife, in which
"Weddie," as he is called. complies
with his fathers request to reduce to
writing confession he previously had
made.
MIR. Stokes denies all material facts
alleged by his wife, which included
cruelty. He says he never tried to
choke her, but that on one occasion she
scratched his face so badly that he was
compelled to remain at home for a week.
He says Mrs. Stokes also threatened
to kill him. He denies he used profane
language toward his wife, but alleges
Mrs. Stokes did employ such language
toward him.
Mrs. Stokes Files Suit
Mrs. Stokes filed suit in the Su-
preme Court yesterday asking for the
canceling of an instrument which she
says her husband compelled her to
sign in 1911, which turned over to the
Mervyn Realty Company twenty-five
parcels of property owned by Mr.
Stokes. Mrs. Stokes alleges she signed
this paper under compulsion without
knowing It's contents or purport, and
that the transfer Of the Stokes prop
erty to the realty company controlled
by him was III pursuance of con-
spiracy to defraud her of her lawful
dover rights. She says there was no
consideration for the transfer.
Mr.. Stokes alleged that although
the instrument was signed by her in
1911, the actual transfer of the prop
erty to the Mervvn Realty Company
was not made until 1917.
Tells OF Alleged Choking
Mr.. Stokes said he was first inform
ed Of the alleged acts of his wife, on
which he bases his divorce action, in
January 1919. He is still paying his
wife $500 month and also has sent
her 81 900 between March and Septcm-
Der for their two children, he says
Besides this he has paid the wages of
servants and nurses and has given his
wife 81 limousine for her own use, he
claims.
Mr.. Stokes described the occasion on
which Mrs. Stokes alleges he choked
her. He had invited his brother to
lunch with him. His wife, he said ,
spat at his brother and tried to strike
Kim with d silver pitcher. Mr.. Stokes
said his wife threatened to horsewhip
his brother and to kill him. He says
he carried his wife from the room AS
protective measure.
In contradiction Of the charges that
he was cruel to his wife, Mr.. Stokes
submitted some letters written by his
wife in which she writes in the Ian
guage of contented wife and signs
herself "lovingiy, Helen.' She also
told now lonesome she was without her
husband.

C.. Vanderbilt, Jr.,
Gets ''Scooped' ON
Own Engagement
'Herald's' Cub Reporter Vic
tim of Journalistic Guile
as Rival Prints News He Is
to We'd Rachel Littleton

TO the list OF novel experiences that
jr, during his brief career as a cub
reporter on "The New York Herald"
has been added the doubtful distinc-
ton of being "beaten" on his own en-
gagement announcement
The only son of Cornelius Wander
bilt was perusing the first page of q
rival publication yesterday morning
when he saw two-column headline
that caused him to gasp.
"Cornelius Vanderbilt. jr., is en-
gagged to we'd sister Of Martin w. Lit
tleton," it read.
Then followed details of his engage
ment to Miss Rachel Littlcton, half
sister of the lawyer and Democratic
leader, who nominated Judge Alton B.
Parker for the Presidency in 1904
Young Vanderbilt forgot the inter
est that the fiance usually finds in
such an announcement i'll the chagrin
of the reporter who finds that he has
been "beaten" on news actually in his
{ possession. But in defense of his
journalistic ability it may be said
that he was the victim of bit of news
paper enterprise that might have taken
IN more experienced reporter.
He was about to retire Thursday
evening when the telephone bell rang
and a buslncsslike voice said:
"This is the night desk. How're we
to use that engagement announcement
of yours ?"
"Why, left that with the managing
editor, You know" said Vanderbilt
thinking he was talking to the night
city editor of the paper upon whose
staff he is employed. "He was going
to hold the announcement until later"
The man at the other end of the
wire laughed. He could not conceal
his triumph at the ruse that had sue
/ ceeded
"Thanks,' he said "This is "rhe
Times talking. | just wanted to make
sure that our tip was straight. You
have kindly verified it,"
And, to add to the complication of
the situation. Vanderbilt had score
of reporters seeking him yesterday in
just the manner that he seeks subjects
for his own interviews. Before the
day was over he had proved that he
was as elusive as any Of the men
he has failed to interview He not
only kept out of the way Of those seek
ing news, but made no statement con-
corning the announcement.
MISS Llttleton could not be reached
at the home Of her brother at Plan
dome, Long Island. and no details,
other than tho bare announcement Of
the engagement, could be obtained
