Stillrnan Sails ON
His Yacht Modesty
For Southampton
Grew of Vessel Declares Mrs.
Leeds Has Never Been ON
Board; Call Tales of Bou-
doir Equipment False

James A. Stillman's yacht Modesty
slipped quietly away from its moorings
at the Yacht Club pier last night
with its millionaire proprietor aboard,
bound for Southampton. 1t has lain
at anchorage in the East River since
arriving from Florida three days ago.
According to ship officers, 1t is not the
vagrant it is alleged to be- Instead Of
taking mysterious trips to Havana and
elsewhere it lay in Miami harbor for
months without turning wheel until
it steamed for the North few days
ago.
The yacht is small and Is lacking in
all the "boudor touches" ascribed to it
by certain imaginative persons. Vt is
1875 feet long and is utilitarian in fur
nishings. There is nothing feminine
about it's interior. The dining room is
on deck and is done in plain browns
The main cabin is furnished in green,
and beside it is cabin with swing
bunks.
Two Of the chief officers emphatically
denied the story yesterday that "Mrs.

'ne hrst wife of Mr.. Stokes, from
whom she obtained divorce, was again
mentioned in the case yesterday. A
rev days ago, Mrs. Stokes testified
that when she left her husband and
went TO Denver. she told Mr.. Stoke.
that she would give him an opportunity
TO choose between her and his first
wl1e' with whom it was said he had
peen IN correspondence. Reference
70 N'rs. Lying was made by Mrs. Stokes
IN another letter which she wrote In
her husband in August, 1916. This
letter in part read:
your letter telling about your wives
was partly sad and partly amusing
Money Is the goal apparently, but not
with me. Still, I'd be q fool of d;d

that your divorce was got 80 that it has

In time and cast away her letters
In another letter Mrs. Stokes wrote
TO her husband, she said: an spite of
your faults you are dear sweet thing
Eome at once or let us hear from von
Don't listen to the Lydigs. They have
meaning for everything they say"
Loved Him Then, but Not Now
Asked whether she loved her hus-
band when she wrote certain Letters
10 h1m in 1912 and 1918, Mrs. Stokes
said: "Of course, always loved him
but ] don't love him now"
Counsel for Mr.. Stokes read from q
letter from Mrs. Stokes to her mother
after the birth of one of her children
In 1914. One line read:
"lf it had not been for Will I don't
know what I'd have done"
Mrs. Stokes explained that passage
on the stand. IL wrote that directly
after l. came out of the ether" she
said.
A telegram from Mr.. Stokes to his
wife in Denver, also was read. 1t said:
Heart and soul with you. Cheer up.
Start for Denver to-day"
All the foregoing testimony had to
40 with the separation phase of the
litigation, but Mr.. Smyth also delvcd
into the divorce feature Of the case bv
asking Mrs. Stokes numerous questions
about her relations with DR.. Hal Billig.
a dentist, enc of the correspondents.
DR.. Billig is a cousin of Mrs. Stokes's
mother.
"Of course l kissed him." said Mrs.
Stokes in answer to a question. "He
was my cousin and I was brought up
with him. He was more like a Brother
to me-"
She added that these salutations took
place only when she greeted DR.. Billig
upon his visits to her family or upon
his departure. Mrs. Stokes denied that
she had photograph of DR.. Billig
with the inscription, ITO My Sweet
heart"
The case will be continued to-day.

Illness kept W. E. D. Stokes from tho
Supreme Court yesterday, where he is
plaintiff in n divorce suit against Mrs
Helen Elwood Stokes and defendant in
separation action by his wife. His
condition is not serious and he is cx-
pected in court to-day.
Mrs. Stokes again was under cross
examination. She fenced with Herbert
c. Smyth, counsel for Mr.. Stokes, whose
ire. she aroused by frequently quality
questions: Asked whether she recog-
nized direct question when she heard
1t, the witness said she did and added:
But, Mr.. Smyth, don't think that
you ask me direct questions"
Some Of the testimony adduced by the
examination of Mrs. Stokes apparently
indicated that she on occasion lost her
temper with her husband Mr.. Smyth
referred to such an incident in Novem-
Der, 1915: Mrs. Stokes had returned
from White Sulphur Springs and had
Yerkes, friend, at 105 West Seventy
second Street. She telephoned her hus-
band from there and when he called on
her Mrs. Stokes proposed that they live
elsewhere than at the Hotel Ansonia.
where they had made their home and
where Mr.. Stokes WAS still living.
You flew into a rage, didn't you ."
asked Mr. Smyth.
Declares She Defended Herself
"No, but Mr.. Stokes did. and had to
defend myself" replied Mrs. Stokes.
Don't you know that Mr.. Stokes was
confined to his room at the Ansonia for
five days after the attack you made on
him that day and that he bears the
scars to this day7"
'Not at all. He had me by the throat
and in defending myself scratched his
face"
.You scratched him good and plenty,
didn't you?"
~ hope I did," was the laughing re-
ply Of the witness.
Mr.. Smyth took up Mrs Stokes's diary
and turned to the date April II, 1918.
He read: 81 tried to get Tom, but was
prevented" This entry referred to
Thomas Stokes, brother of the plaintiff,
in whose presence Mrs. Stokes has tes-
tilted her husband pinned her against
the wall and which was one of the acts
of cruelty alleged by her.
Mr. Smyth asked: "That was the time
Mr.. Stokes pinned you against the wall,
but isn't it fact that y zen you tried
to get at Tom your husband held you
until his brother could get away?"
"Oh, nonsense"

BULLDOGS LEAVE ON TRIP TO s. M. A. AND MARION CAMPS
Locals to Play Two Games
 With Each Cadet Team
By MAXWELL ALLEN

The Howard college baseball team left early this morning for Greens boro, where they meet the S. M. A. cadet team in two fracases today and tomorrow. The Bulldogs are mighty anxious to keep going on the winning streak started in their first two games. From all indications, it seems as though the Howardites are going to realize their wish, too, for the whole team is trained to a queens taste, and the Bulldogs showed very clearly last Wednesday that they had the Marion boys outclassed when it comes to all- round playing.
 There will probably be no change in the lineup of the Bulldogs, for the men who have been chosen on the frsh nine have been delivering the goodA and are getting on to playing together
 The infield has been doing all of the slugging for the Howardites, but, never theless, the outfeld has been good contributor in the run department. for meant runs.
 It Is not certain just who win p1oaeas but the choice will most likely he be-- tween Gaylord or King. for Shorty Webb, the only southpaw in the How- ard camp, has a very sore finger on his right mitt. This digit was hurt in the game with Ayondale mflls, and ia is the cause for MT Webb blowing mn in the sixth inning
 The S. M. A. cadets have . good team and are playing at home. hut iel the Bulldogs are in any kind of fOrrm at all they should be able to give thezn nice, good beating.
 Friday and Saturday the BufadogM play a return series with Marion, two games to be played at Marion.

Indictment Weather Flinders Crimsons In Pr@tice Work
 for Baron Game
Rx LACK ERrEhtAN

University, March B. Special )-The University of Alabama team returned to Denny field yesterday. greeted by cold wave and steady rain. But this did not dampen the pep and eagerness to get right down to work and smooth out some of the wrinkles and defects shown in the game with Yale. The entire squad which consisted of the regular routine of hitting, fielding and base running. A practice game would have been held but for the cold blast blowing across Denny field.
 The Crimsons lost golden opportu- nity to start the season off with a vic- tory in Macon Saturday when they had the Yale outfit heavied by two-point margin, but loose work in the field, plus some cratic work in the box, allowed the Eli tossers to pull the game out ot the fire. However, some loose work is expected in preliminary games, and it so happened that the university boys were the ones to show an cratic brand of pastime.
 LUKE SEWELL STARS
 The work of Luke Sewell, the Crimson backstop, was a sensation, and much fa- vorable comment was heard from the ar ray of fans and scouts who saw this youngster perform. Out of four attempts to pilfer sacks by Yale's fleet-footed players, the same four were turned back with wholesome respect for young Sewelps arm.
 Hall and the famous Stevie were also in the limelight with their timely hit ting and general all-round playing.
 BARONS NEXT
 The Crimson camp is now all agog for the coming of the Birmingham Barons, which will take place on Denny field on the afternoon of Wednesday, March 90 This game vii open the home schedule, and record-breaking attendance is ex- pected. Molesworth's men have been go- ing great this spring, and the way they disposed of the strong Toronto Interna- tional league team augurs well for se- were contest with the collegians. Larry Doyle, the old Giant star second sacker. has an aggregation that compares fa- vorably with a big league team, and if strong team the fans are wondering what they will do with the university fly chasers.
 Denny field has been put in fine shape for the opening game and now looks the part of a big league diamond. Ad- ditional bleachers are being built, so that ample seating capacity will be avail able for record-breaking crowds. Tickets went on sale today at Blach's. clothing store. The gates will be thrown open at o'clock Wednesday afternoon and the umpire will call play ball promptly at 4 o'clock.

Vandy Track Coach
 Hauing His Troubles

Nashville. Tenn- March 3s-<Spe-- cial. .>-'Rain. Rain, go away and como again some other day." sings BiM. Anderson. Vanderbilt track coach, in, all the sadness of tone and spirit of; Little Johnny in Mother Goose.
 The equinox always brings showers around these ports, and the one that cana around on March 21 showed up witi plenty of wet stuff. This necessarily has put a crimp in track training. which was progressing fairly we'll un- der the prevailing weather conditions of the previous two weeks. Naturally, Bill Anderson wants sunshine and cry track for he has plenty to worry about other than what brand of weather is being handed out.
 Bills troubles began when Big Jim" Early and 'Gink" Hendricks, team, left Vanderbilt to engage in business. He is now working with cnly four letter men back, two of these being Howell and Gentry, who are milers, and the other two being the remaining half of the relay quartet, ex-Captain Nance and Captain Runyon. Bill Stack, freshman, is showing some promise of making sprint man, and he may be able to develop into a re- lay man, but this will leave the fourth member of that crew to be developed for this special event in which Van- 6erbilt has usually been supreme. In the weights and field events, Bill Anderson has nothing Tn prospect. and the only hope for any shift that will mean an additional point or two in each dual meet the coming season is the entry of Stack in the sprints with Kunyon, which will release Nance for the hurdles.
 Bill has plenty to worry about t/- sides the weather.
