MISS E.. E. WALDO, PLAINTIFF nv
$25O,OOO SUIT, TELLS IDENTITY
Bred in Kentucky of Pilgrim Stock
MI. Brown Denies Promising
to Marry Her.

Much OF the mystery surrounding tho
Identity of Miss Elsie Eleanor Waldo.
plaintiff .n the $4,000 breach OF promise
action against Fredcricis Melvin Brown,
Admiralty lawyer. was dispelled By the
young woman herself yesterday IN the
office OF her attorneys. Mantinband &
Krauss. at No. 261 broadway.
Miss Waldo is Junoesque in stature has
large blue eyes and a wealth OF copper
tinted hair, sometimes called Titan, and
she speaks with soft Southern drawl.
Her home is in Lexington, Ky.
She comes from Pilgrim stock. some Of
her ancestors having crossed the ocean on
tho Mayflower. and Miss Waldo easily
sketched yesterday a genealogical tree dat
ing back to the period OF the Revolution.
She claimed kinship to Captain Samuel
Waldo, chaplain with Washington at VAL
Icy Forge, and General William Floyd. one
of the signers OF the Declaration OF Inde-
pendence. Another of her ancestors was
Brigadier General Richard Waldo a Colo
NAL officer in the army of George ". She
says she is also related TO Rhinelander
Waldo, formerly Police Commissioner of
this city. who was a brigadier general in
the American army IN the world war.
Some years ago Miss Waldo studied music
as the pupil or Randager. OF London, and
Nine. La Grange. In Paris. She also h. e
literary talent and two years ago wrote
a novel entitled, "Wall Flowers" =
romance OF the war.
With the idea Of proving her case
against Mr.. Brown she has turned over
to her lawyers sheaves Of letters which.
she says. were written to her BY Mr.
Brown. Miss Waldo explained that she
first met Mr.. Brown while she was on a
trip from kentucky to this city In 1906.
Among the letters she produced yester-
day was one written on August 3, 1911,
which in part reads
kindest possible terms. consistent with
fairness and frankness, you send a stiff

to me as unacceptable and branding 1t as

for you, you have often allowed the
situation 10 wear the guise Of a mag

The letter was signed. Yours faithfully,
Frederick"

was addressed as MY dear Elsie" while

Cooperative Buying
to Beat High Costs
Wage Increase Fails to Solve Problem
so Leaders VIII Try Ex-
pertinent.

WASHINGTON. d. c.. Wednesday oby
tho Associated Press).-Failing TO obtain
satisfactory relief from the high cost OF
living. either through further wage sd-
vanees by the Railroad Administration or
from the anti-profiteering campaign Of the
Department Of Justice, officials Of the four
big brotherhoods and the railway shop
crafts affiliated with the American Fed
GRAFTON OF Labor have decided to seek a
solution for themselves through co-opera-
tive buying. Woduction and distribution.
The step was construed in some quarters
as indicating that demands for further
wage Increases would not be pressed pend
ing the outcome OF the experiment
petail~of the cooperative scheme have
mot yet been completed, but plans have
been under consideration since the farmer
labor conference at Chicago in November.
The fornstio of the All-American Farm
ler-Labor Cooperative Commission. an out
Igrowth of the conference. was announced
To-day. Another conference will be held in
Chicago February 13 to IS.
Indications that pressure from railway
workers for increased wages might be les
lsened was seen in statement by Bert NJ
Jewell. acting president OF the railway
Iemployes' department. of the Federation
of Labor that ian Increase in pay will not
,solve the problem" Jewell asserted that
higher wages accompanied by proper
ltionate increase in prices results in a
l''yicious circle" which leaves the railroad
men no better off after the increase in pay
than he was with the smaller salary.

needed to perform her part OF theatrical

On5April IS, 1911. the writer agreed to
help furnish her apartment In this city.
In explaining the reason for the long
delay in bringing her suit after learning
in 1919 that Mr.. Brown had married an
other, Miss Waldo said negotiations for a
settlement were once in progress but were
dropped because they were unable to agree
on the terms of tho comrromise Her law
yers filed notice yesterday asking that
the issues be tried next month.
Mr.. Browns answer to the complaint
denies he ever promised to marry Miss
Waldo and admits his marriage IN octo-
ber, 1913 to Miss Mabel Heloise Stokes
He says he first met the plaintiff at the
time she says and acknowledges receiving
a letter from her after his ma rria.e asking
for financial aid, which he refused TO give.
During the war Mr.. Brown served as a
colonel in the Judge Advocates Depart
mont. TIe is said to have inherited large
fortune from his father Melvin Brown, a
