dearing term of Carrots" when Bill lig entered her bedroom late at night; and that Mrs. Stokes occasionally smoked a gold tipped cigaret
 During the days that followed the divorce suit was lifted from the field of comedy to the plane of melodrama by the appearance on the stand of witness who sWore she saw Mrs. Stokes in the apartment of Edgar T. Wallace, at 13 E. 35th street.
 CHAPTER 2.
 On March "A, Edgar T. Wallace oil magnate of California, arrived in New York.
 Brimful of indignation at being named a correspondent by Stokes and denying that he even knows Mrs. Stokes, he says when the case con venes on April s, he will tell of his own happy welded life and prove the falsity of charges concerning his con duct in his apartment. The western oil man says he will admit he occasionally entertained friends in his apartment and that he left his keys rather loosely with others, but this is all

 Stokes is related to group of ais tinguished families which include th' Earles and Dodges as well as tn Stokeses.
 William Earle Dodge, the uncl after whom Stokes Is named, was noted abolitionist and philanthropis as well as millionaire merchant.

roughly estimated at 1000, 900 miners and 50O.00o each from the railway and transport workers organizations, should quit work in support of the strike of the miners.
 The governments standpoint, as verified by Premier Lloyd George in a brief speech in the house of com mons this afternoon, is that the &C., tion of the miners and the other members of the triple alliance is an attempt by direct action to intimi- date parliament and the nation. The premier announced the military and other measures which the govern ment intended to take to defeat this attempt.
 The standpoint Of the miners is that the sudden removal of control Of the coal mines is the result of pact between the government and the mine owners to enable the owners to enforce an unjustifiable reduction in wages. The attitude of the railway men Is that unless there is support or the miners at the present time a similar dilemma will happen to the railway men on some future occasion after the railways are released from government control
 Strikers Refuse to Yield
 The refusal of the miners to yield on the question of permitting pump men to return to the mines had as it's motive a conviction that the with drawal of the pumpmen is the only weapon in their hands. They argue that a few weeks cessation of work will not really injure the mine owners. who, considering the depressed con- dition of industry, have ample stocks of coal on the surface. They declare that the mine owners have brought this fate upon themselves by includ- ing the pump men among those whose contracts will be cancelled unless they accept new wage terms made not through joint discussion but by the inine owners themselves.
 The arguments of the miners find absolutely no support except on the 1Iart of the socialist newspapers. All the other newspapers condemn them strongly, and general regret is ex- pressed that the miners refused to itsten to the advice of men like Her bert H. Asquith, John R. Clynes and Arthur Henderson.
 In this connection MT. Clynes, who IS is chairman of the parliament tary labor party, made an interest ing statement on the adjournment of he house of commons this evening While expressing regret over the de- c1sion of the miners, he said he equally regretted that Premier Lloyd George had thought 1t proper to make charges against the motives of the leaders of the miners. He said that the actual damage done to the mines up to the present time has been SC small that 1t did not justify this fact being made the cause for interfering with negotiations which might lead to a settlement of the dispute. He concluded by declaring that the cost to the country through the strike likely would be far more than would have been the case if the government had continued to control the mines 8 little while longer until the wage question was settled.

NEW YORK LIKES TO GUESS

New Workers are again called upon to exercise their powers of observa- tion and guessing prociivities in the latest craze of the day. This time it happens to be photograph records.
 From the Bronx down to South Ferry, from the East river to the North, the phonograph stores holding these 'contests'' may be found Each store features a different record, hundreds of which are scattered in it's windows. A photograph in the store, equipped with a tone intensi- fer. plays the record continually, ''jazzing" up the entire block. Post CTS give the name of the piece and conditions of the contest" The pub lie is also informed that i've have re- ceived a ton of these records" The prizes vary from $15 to $25.
 All one has to do to be eligible for a prize is to purchase a record. He then receives a printed guessing slip" which he fills out. giving his estimation of the number of records in the window. Persons with a math- ematical turn of mind frequently stop before the window, note the arrange ment of the uneven heaps. and after several cryptic calculations in a note book, pass on.

 CHAPTER 6 The most conspicuous scandal in which Stokes has been involved out side his present case was that noto- riously known as the case of the Shooting Show Girls in 1911.

D'Annunzio is reported to have been a great admirer of Lenine, to whom he dispatched many laudatory telegrams and letters.
 In a curious diplomatic collection of the Acts of the Bureau of For eign Affairs of Plume, several docu- ments appear expressing the sympa- thy of the commander" for the so- viet republic, and indicating a desire to establish political and commercial relations with Moscow.
 Serrati, an Italian Socialist leader opposed to the bolsheviki, has made a statement to the effect: we were shown at Moscow (presumably dur ing the visit of the Italian labor dele gation there) a telegram of congra- tulation from D'AnnunZio, declaring his solidarity with the soviet regime. Our advice was not to reply to it, and we think our recommendation was followed. Living Age.

PICTURE FORGED PAYMENT

An insurance company, according to a nautical magazine, refused to pay a policy on British vessel. the Hydra, which disappeared in 1917. on the ground that there was no proof forthcoming that the ship had beer lost by war risks. Unexpected proof of the vessels fate has recently been furnished in the shape of a photo graph of a German submarine at the moment the vessel was sunk. This picture supplied the necessary evi- dence, and the insurance company it is stated. has been required to pay the amount claimed.
