WYNNE To
FIGHT LOVE
BALM CASE
"BIackmaiI," Says D. c. Society
Man, Sued by Miss Mccannay
For $4,000.

W
Robert J. Wynpe, Of 1911 Park
road northwest, who WAS Postmas-
ter General under President Roose-
velt's Administration and American
consul-gensral in London, will
back his son ''to the limit" in de-
. $50, 900 breach-of-prom-
ise suit filed last week in the Chi
cago courts, IL was learned today.
Jack Shiryer Wynne, the son,
came to Warrington today to spend
the Christmas holiday at home.
He branded the suit as "pure
blackmail" and declared he expect
ed "little difficulty in winning the
case"
''wm Make Him Pay"
But pretty Miss Florence Helen
McCannay, tho girl who filed the suit,
does not share Jacks views.
"I will 80 to the end of the world to
make him pay for the unhappiness and
misery he has caused me-" the girl
declared after she filed her suit, In
ciuding in the evidence several love
letters which she alleges Jack" sent
to her.
"a wicked flirt lacking In tho In.
tuitiye perceptions Of any honest
suitor," Is the way the girl describes
the son of the former postmaster's son.
This is only the beginning Of
retribution for him." she said. Il
have been paying for my faith and
trust in him for a long time. Now
my eyes are opened and I am going
to act. am glad to have the
opportunity of making my story
known.
"a man like Jack wynne should
be made to pay for his false ana
pretentious adventure with woman,
so that others may avoid him ana tne
unhappiness he has caused me.
Love-making and love phrasing Is his
career. He lives on imagination that
his name Ia on pinnacle In the
clouds, but here is one little girl VINO
will bring him down to the level OF
justice.
Jack drink from the cup of bitterness
which he forced to my lips when he
gave me his promise Of marriage.
HE says I am not big enough
socially to fittingly honor his name.
To all of which Jack Wynne and
his father replies, 'Blackmail.'
Won Her Heart.
In the bill filed in Chicago, Miss
McCanny adds that Wynne won her
heart with false love and praise. She
says he is 'man Of graceful deport-
ment and a possessor Of winsome
expression"
one result Of the misguided love,
Miss McCannay laments, Is that she
has had to give up her home, certain
luxuries of life to which she has been
accustomed and has been forced to
go out into the unsympatnetic world
TO earn livelihood.
Young wynne, the bill says, is
sales manager of the Advance Petro-
leum Company and since graduation
from Harvard has been conspicuously
identified with society In washington
and Los Angeles.
AS to the letters-here are some
samples and extracts:

penitentiary here that the sentence
of Eugene v. Debs has been COM
muted to expire at once has not
been received early today.

Dyche declared 1t to be his belief
that the notification will not reach
him until this afternoon or perhaps
tomorrow morning. Debs, he said.

ment 10 received.
An army of friends, newspaper re-
porters, moving picture camera op-

was again on the job today to await
the time when the man who five
times has been a candidate for Presi-
dent Of the United States on the So
cialist ticket shall walk from the
prison cell he has occupied since
April, 1913. Among the anxious
walters IL Theodore Debs, brother Of
Debs.
The expectation here is that Debs
will leave the prison tomorrow. Plans
had been made, however, for him to
get away quickly for Terre Haute,
Ind, in case he is released today.
II was learned that practically all
his personal belongings have been
packed and arrangements made to
ship his luggage.
VIII Go to Indiana.
Only Eugene Debs' desire to hasten
to his wife in Terre Haute will keep
him from going directly to Washing

dent Harding for freedom for all the

friends of the Socialist leader said
today.
He will not be reconciled TO his
own releasei until all war sufferers

they declare, and predict that after
a short rest in Terre Haute he will
make personal plea to the President
in Washington.
Debs has no definite plans after his
release except to rest, according to his
friends.
His Party Is Split.
The Socialist leader returns to free.

and near the rocks.
There are rumors that, following the
left wing of the Socialist, he may
Join the communist party and later
60 to Russia for visit.
There are other reports that he will
endeavor to reunite the Socialist fac.
tions and strengthen the party before
the next Presidential election.
He desires to steer clear of the issues
which have split the party, according
TO the friends, who declare he will
refrain from discussing them in public
statements and speeches.
1t is not unlikely that he will make

recognition of Russia and aid for its
famine sufferers, friends say.
Is Improved In Health.
The Socialist leader will leave prison

perience has aged him, but physically
he never was stronger than now, those
close to him declare.
His brother and secretary. Theodore
Debs, who came from Terre Haute to
accompany him home, is keenly disap-
Iointed that Debs will not be able to
spend Christmas with his family and

 Rheumatism is caused by uric acid which is generated in the bowels and absorbed into the blood It is the fnnc tion of the kidneys to filter this aci'l from the blood and cast it out in Nhe urine; the pores of the skin are also a n0eans of freeing the blood of this im- purity. In damp and chilly. cold weather the skin pores are closed thus forcing the kidneys to do double work. they be- come weak and sluggish and fail 10 eliminate this uric acid which keeps ac- cumulating and circulating through the system. eventually settling in the joints and muscles causing stiffness, soreness and pain called rheumatism.
