lures of W. E. D. Stokes, hotel man, were
painted by lawyers today at the hear
ing of the application made to Supreme

$4,000, 900, "as far as disclosed" as well
as large real estate holdings
II l. Gainsburg. counsel for Mr.. Stokes,
then told the court that The defendant did
not derive one dollars worth of income
from his holding of private houses, and
said that the income from his forty-nine
parcels of property in New York was
small and that these holdings were not
saleable.
When the trial of the suit for divorce
was in prospect Mrs. Stokes was given 9
temporary alimony allowance of 81, 500 6
month. The two children of the couple
! remain under the jurisdiction of the Colo
RADIO courts under order of Judge Ber

of the two children was based upon th

The law, enacted in 1919. was intend
ed to regulate the employment Of chill

the ground that it attempted to regulate
an exclusively state function. In viola
ton Of the federal constitution and
tenth amendment and was defended as q
mere excise tax levied by congress un-
der its broad power of taxation confer
red by the federal constitution.
The law was attacked in the supreme
court by three cases from North Caro-

| Of these, the Atherton mills and that by

ed ON technicalities. but the case brough:

train carried it on.
When he saw the locomotive mus,

board beside the boilers, leaped to the
pilot, and swung her up into his arms
The train came to a stop some yard.

er. Then Cotter climbed into his cal
