following appeal to the governors

Emergency Day"
"The need as revealed in the
latest cable reports from Greclan

exceeds all previous valculatlonS

The response to date has been
altogether inadequate. | am sure
the people of the United States
will grasp the magnitude and
Dathos of situation involving the
absolute known destitution of over
a million and a quarter women,
children and old men.
81, therefore, make this supple
mental appeal, at this season of
THANKSGIVING week, and | appeal
Thanksgiving for Gods blessing to
US. for the human beings who are
sufferers in the striken area.
81 request the governors, may
orS, business and phllanthroplc
organizations and all other citi-
zens of the United States to hold
this tragedy in mind during
Thanksgiving week, and | appeal
again to you to make a response
equal to the emergency and
worthy of the generous heart and
the humanitarian spirit of our
great republic.
"That this may be organized
and definite, | hereby designate
Sunday, Dec. 3, as a special day of
mass meeting in our cities and the
climax of this appeal eXtraordi-
nary"

moved down by the blaze. The fire
men prevented further spread ex

erything in its path.

UNION OF MRS.
WOODHOUSE
Attorney Billiard Makes
Scathing Argument In
Defense

Is u hLiN iNG YIN, Dec. - 4n D.
Dorritt Stevens oodhouse'S Gun
ion of love" with Charles Douglas
Woodhouse three months before
their marriage was attacked in the
Chittenden county court yesterday
afternoon as move to force hlm
into wedlock in hope of obtaining
share in the Woodhouse fortune.
Atty. V. A. Bullard made a
scathing attack on Mrs. Wood
house during his argument in be-
half of the defendants in the ST.
600, 900 alienation of affections suit
brought by Dorritt against Mr.. and
Mrs. Lorenzo f. Woodhouse, the
millionaire parents of her husband
whom she charges with using their
wealth and influence and seek to
persuade Douglass to leave her
and seek a divorce in Reno.
Look at Dorritt's letters" he
said. Cant you read between the
lines and see the position DougIas
was in?
"The natural course would have
been for this girl to clear up her
trouble before marriage. The rea-
son she didn't was because she
wanted to get her claws on Doug
las. As long as she held this over
him, she could bring him to the
bull ring and force him to marry
her and get slice of what she
thought were the Woodhouse mil
lions
"That marriage has come out
Just exactly as nine-tenthS o. the
marriages of that kind came out.
Marriages which come about
through total disrepect to religion,
society and everything else, turn
out failures nine times out of ten,
and | sometimes think they ought
/ to fail.
"She has chosen her course. |
should like to see the people vho
want to take her by the hand and
congratulate her and tell her she
has done the right thing. A wo-
man like her can never stand we'll
in society if what she has said is
true. There is no sin, hardly and
offence you can mention, that she
hasen't committed"
On one occasion Atty. Bullard
compared Dorritt to the step
daughter Of Herod, "who danced
before the King and later demand
ed the head of John the Baptist on
a charger"
Mrs. Woodhouse was not in the
crowded courtroom to listen to this
dcnuhciation. She left the room
in tears while her own attorney,
Warren X. Austin, in his argument
was picturing how she was robbed
of her husbands society and pro-
lection by the "monstrous malice
and crimson hatred" of his parents.
Declaring that Douglas always has
loved Dorritt, even after applying
for divorce and that he "prob-
ably loves her now" Atty. Austin
described him as "a weak son i'm
posed on by the tremendous wealth
and influence of his parents who
wanted him to have a wife with
social position"
