to Missouri Town.
By United Press

By United Press
NEW YORK, Oct. 23.-Helen Ell
wood Stokes never was in Bunceton,
Mo, but W. f. Stokes was posing as
historian and seeking information
concerning the little towns inhabi-
tants, dispositions of Missourians read
into the records of the Stokes divorce
trial today declared.
The plaintiff, having rested his case
Monday, attorneys for Mrs. Stokes to-
day began reading dispositions taken
when the former Denver girl made
trip to the Main st. town earlier this
month, to secure evidence she was not
in Bunceton in 1904 with Edgar T.
Wallace, correspondent.
Did Not Visit Town
Mr.. and Mrs. A. A. Wallace, brother
and sister-in-law OF the engineer who
is accused by Stokes of improper rela-
tons with Stokes wife, testified Helen
Elwood, as she then was known, had
not visited Wallace in Bunceton. They
said they would have known Of such
a visit, as the town was small
Mrs. Wallace said. however, she
well remembered Stokes coming to
'Bunceton, saying he was a historian
seeking information about the Santa
Fe trail
Women Not Permitted
A deposition Of DR.. Peter E. VII
liams of ST. Joseph, Mo, was to the
effect that Mrs. Stokes could not have
visited the Bunceton Club, as women
witnesses for the millionaire plaintiff
had testified, because, he explained,
women were not permitted in the
club.
Edgar T. Wallace will take the
stand today as a witness for Mrs.
Stokes.
Wallace, who arrived Monday from
ssh Francisco. said his testimony will
prove surprise"
Heated arguments between the op
posing counsels while Stokes was on
the stand Monday marked the legal
battle as one Of the bitterest in the
present trial
The court came in for its share
when Samuel Untermeyer, chief at.
torney for Mrs. Stokes, took sarcastic
digs at Judge Mahoney, who threat
ened several times to adjourn the
hearing If the former didn't curb his
tongue.

care of our needs for fifteen years, and
could be rented out for private gather
ings and. in way. made self-support-
ing. If we built a similar place it
would cost thousands Of dollars more,
and would not be as nearly as good
location"
The mayor proposed that the
ground west OF the tabernacle be used
as a farmers market. A temporary
roof could be constructed for all-year
use. He said the land might be rent
ed as parking ground when not in
use as market.
The purchase of the land would
give the city all the land in the block
bounded by Alabama, New Jersey,
Ohio and New York SITS, with the ex-
ceptlon of the northeast section. Fire
headquarters and the mum. c pal
garage are on the northwest corner.
Chamber Of Commerce officials in
dorsed the movement in telephone
conversation with the mayor today,
and promised immediate organized
aid, Shank said.

cided for the good OF the whole city,
not this one district"

the ground before it become a part
of the city and already had started
construction. He offered amendments
proposing that the district be zoned as

The result of such policy may be
most painful to you, an unexpected loss
Of employment. Certainly, at any rate,
it will shut you off from possible EN-.
ployment elsewhere at better pay.
For, understand well, if you deliber-
ately underworld you will become sur
prisingly widely known as an under

And remember always that your eSti-

his failure to give you the expected sal

In which case the calmness with
which you accept this disappointment,
the earnestness with which you continue

count tremendously in your favor. At
the first opportunity. you may be sure,
the reward now denied you will be &C.
