STOKES AGREES TO LET
WIFE HAVE CHILDREN
MllIIonaire's Surrender Marks End
OF Sensational Family FIGHT


New York. July s.-w. r. d.
millionaire, has offered voluntarily TO
release the two beautiful children made
the subject OF contention in his hard
fought suit for divorce.
In brief upon which the issues OF
the divorce will be determined, filed with
Supreme Court Justice Finch. the fol-
lowing remarkable passage occurs:
''If in the Judgment of the Court It
seems wise. the plaintiff would gladly
consent that the custody of the children
should be awarded to the grandmother
during their tender years, realizing that
thereby the mother will have intimate
and probably daily communication with
them, as they will occupy the same
home.
"In that event. the father begs that
he may be allowed such privileges of
visitation as will enable him to keep
in touch with the hearts of his children
and care for their physical and mental
welfare. BY feeling that they STILL in
sense, belong to him. he will provide
liberally for them after his DEATH

dicrs' bonus will go through the Senate
before a recess is taken. The Bonus
Eill has got so far toward enactment
that it will be hard to stop. The upper

sion that he favors bonus later weak

bonus may now be regarded as a GER

CITIES SERVICE TO PAY

that all dividends now paid in cash
and stock on all stocks of the COM
pany. beginning with the dividend pay
able July /. be continued. but be paid
in scrip.
Mr.. Doherty said his recommendation
was based upon the developments in
the oil business during the last few
days, which convinced him that an
early recovery was improbable and
that all cash resources should be con-
served.
by paying our dividends in scrip
he said. lit will bring no hardship to
those who do not require their divi-
dends to pay their expenses. and to
those who must have cash from their
dividends it will be equivalent simply
to a reduction OF income in whatever
amount they must sell their scrip be-
low it's face value. I realize this action
probably will cause confusion and a
depressed market for our stocks and
for our scrip for time. but look for
q continual Improvement within short

POOR CROP OUTLOOK
AGAIN LIFTS WHEAT
Fear of Wet Harvest and Lack
of Export Demand Also
Cause Firmness.

CHICAGO, June 10.--Wheat prices had
an upward trend most of to-day. largely
on bullish field reports concerning the
winter crop and because OF fear of a
wet harvest. The market closed unset
tied at l to 1A cents net higher. with
July $1.36m1.36A and September
Sl.1SE q 1.1SA. Corn finished un-
changed to Y cent lower, and oats down
q pa cent to "a cent. In provisions
the outcome was to IL cents advance.
Except brief setback soon after the
opening bulls were masters in the wheat
pit until about midday. Further rains
In the Southwest were reported, and al
though clearing weather was said to
have ensued uneasiness relative to har-
vest conditions remained. Meanwhile
dispatches from two well known experts
in different parts of the Ohio Valley
created an unfavorable impression as
to the progress of the winter crop. In
the last part of the session, however, the
market descended with a good deal Of
momentum, although at no time were
prices so low as yesterdays finish.
Profit taking by holders was much in
evidence and there was complaint Of
the slowness of export demand. Bear
ish financial gossip also received con-
siderable notice.
Corn and oats lacked support, but
toward the last rallied somewhat, helped
by prospective curtailment of receipts.
Provisions were governed mainly by
the hog market
