NEW PINK NIGHTIE
FOR .STOKESON
SPECIAL OCCASION
Ribbons Added to 1t by Her
Order, "USeful Maid"
TeStifieS in Suit
BELL RINGS AT 3 A. NJ.
Her Mistress Threatened She
Would Follow Her to H"
If She Would Peach.

A pink satin "nightie" and a tall,
dark man" were the outstanding fea-
lures in the recital of the events that
figured in the further revelations in
the early session to-day of the divorce
suit brought by William Z. D. Stokes.
Interest centred largely about the
events of New Years Eve, 1918, when
Hal Bnlig, Mrs. Stokes's cousin,
visited the Stokes's home at No. S17
West 18th Street, and was subse-
quently ordered out OF it. This was
also the time that Mr.. Stokes nailed
shut door leading to Mrs. Stokes's
bedroom while she and Billig were at
the Winter Garden.
Anna Brennan, who described her
self as useful maid" in the Stokes
household, testified that on the after
noon of Dec. 81, 1918 Mrs. Stokes had
selected for herself a pink satin
night dress, and directed the witness
to put fresh ribbons in it. Mrs.
stokes told her that two extra beds
were to be made up for that night,
one in the library, and another in the
passageway between the library and
Mrs. stokes bedroom. One Of the
beds was it is understood, for w +.
d. Stokes jr., who was expected there
to spend the night.
The following morning Mrs. Stokes
said to the witness "Why, Anna, Mr..
Stokes has nailed up my door. It's
terrible the way he's treating my
cousin"
Q. (By Mr.. Wellman. Counsel for
Mr.. Stokes) Did you ever notice any
occurrence between Mrs. Stokes and
any strangers who came to the home
A. Yes, two gentlemen and a movie
actress, Mildred Adams, came there
in December. When they went out
they all seemed much excited.
Q. Do you remember anything that
happened at the house while Mr..
Stokes was in Lakewood? A. In the
early part of December, 1918, a tall
dark man about thirty-eight years
old came TO the house and went up
into Mrs. Stokess bedroom. 1t was
about 8 o'clock in the morning.
Mr.. WeIlman asked the witness
for a description of the bed in
Mrs. Stokes's room and preeipi-
tated a tilt with Mr.. Littleton,
counsel for Mrs. Stokes. All that
qot into the record was the state
ment that both pillows seemed
TO have been used, though, ae-
eording to the witness, Mrs.

LONDON. March 1O.--The Russian

HARDING DEFEATED
IN FIRST FIGHTON
COLOMBIAN TREATY
Republican Insurgents, Aided
BY Democrats, Force 1t
Over to Extra Session.

WASHINGTON. March 1o.-An
agreement TO defer action on the Co
lombian Treaty until the April ses-
sion OF Congress and to vote upon
the treaty on the eighth day after
Congress convenes was reached to-
day by the Senate.
This action, which was taken be-
hind closed doors after short ses-
sion, was a victory for the Republ-
can insurgents, who opposed Prcsi-
dent Harding's request for immedi-
ate ratification. Democratic Sona-
tors stood with tho insurgents, max
ing it obvious to Republican leaders
that they would lose in an attempt
to force consideration now. Hence
they did not even force vote on the
question.
An agreement was reached 10 vote
on ratification on tho eighth day ar
ter the beginning Of the extra ses-
sion. The question Of considering the
treaty in open or secret sessions was
not decided, but will come up in the
extra session.
As a result Of the action taken to-
day, the Senate probably will ad-
journ its extraordinary session on
Saturday. 1t was difficult TO got a
quorum to-day, and after Saturday it
probably will be impossible.

ALBANY, March 1O.-Revised and
naGS more drastic in its anti-home
rule features, and With the powers to
be. given to Gov. Miller's hand-plcked
Commission, IL the measure becomes
q. law, greatly increased, . Knight
Adler traction bill has been reported
favorably in both houses.
Not only is New York robbed of
every vestige Of control over its
transit lines, including the subways
N which 900 of city money
: invested, but it is TO have no voice
as.to new contracts or notifications
Of old ones affecting traction mat
ters.
Worse than this, the Commission Is
given power to increase fares when
and where it pleases. All it has to
do is to declare the increase in the
"pUblic interest"
Angered by the failure of the spon-
b. sors or the bill, including Gov. Miller
himself. to amend it as promised so
as TO prevent any temporary boost
in carfares, many Republicans, not
only from New York but from up-
State cities, are near open revolt.
- In fact, il is declared to-day
the leaders are able to count only
twenty three sure votes for the
bill in the Senate and are greatly
worried over the outlook.
ALL CHANGES. ARE IN TRAc-
TloN'S INTEREST.
OF the many changes made in the
bfll by the Senate Public Service and
Assembly Judiciary Committees only
seven are important and most Of
these are designed to give the Com
mission a freer hand and pave the
way to the Immediate relief" in the
way OF higher fares demanded by the
traction interests.
As predicted in The Evening World
last Saturday, the power TO increase
railroad fares Is vested absolutely in
the Rapid Transit Commission and
the increase can be made practically
at the pleasure of the Commission.
Ii will not be necessary for the Com
mission tosaWait until it has decided
upon plan Of readjustment OF The
city's transit facilities.
The traction companies have been
crying for an increased fare. The
bill in its original form Vas drafted
apparently to give the companies
,ust what they wanted. When the
attention of Gov. Miller was called

could be granted even without anS
hearing, the Chief Executive declared
