JURY INDICATES
MRS. H. STOKES
Single Ballot Exonerates Titan
Beauty and Ends Five
Year Fight.
MILLIONAIRE SHEDS TEARS

New York.-Mrs. Helen Ellwood
Stokes won her fight to defend her
character against charges of infidelity
brought against her by William Earl
Dodge Stokes, her ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS
old husband.
The jury refused to grant Stokes a
divorce which he had asked on allega-
tons his wife had been intimate with
Edgar L. Wallace, California oil pro-
moter.
The jury was out an hour and seven
minutes. Only one ballot was taken
and that unanimously in favor of the
pretty defendant.
When the jury fled in there was a
tenseness in the courtroom. For the
contending sides it meant the culmina-
ton of five years Of the bitterest fight
ing.
The clerk of the court asked Fore
man Hitchcock of the jury whether
the jurors had reached a verdict.
''What is your verdict?" the clerk
then asked.
''We find Mrs. Stokes not guilty on
count nine," Hitchcock said.
This was the issue Of whether Mrs.
Stokes had been guilty of infidelity
with Wallace in his apartment at IL
East Thirty-ifth street. New York.
This was the sole issue left to the
jury to consider.
Mrs. Stokes, her face tense, listened
to the verdict and then gulped visibly.
Her face broke into smiles as she
shook hands with her counsel, Samuel
Untermyer. The pair then walked to
the jury box and thanked the jurors.
Stokes, sitting alone at his table,
appeared much affected by the jury's
announcement. Tears were in his
eyes. He was asked if he had any
thing to say.
"That's ALL" the aged financier said.
II have no statement to make"

BRITAIN PLANS TARIFF
To Put Fence Around Empire to
Bar U. S. Products.

London.-The imperial economic
conference adopted unanimously
series of recommendations which, if
passed by the imperial conference OF
prime ministers, will mean heavy
trade blow to the United States. The
recommendation dealt with imperial
preference and were as follows:
A suggestion that Great Britain put
a tax of 5 shillings (roughly $1.10) a
hundredweight on raw apples from for
eign countries, admitting those from
the dominion free. This would give
Canadian apple growers an advantage
over producers in the eastern states,
Oregon and California.
A duty of 10 shillings ($2.20) hun
dredweight on canned salmon. thus
giving Canada an advantage over Ore
gon.
A duty of 6 pence (10) cents a gall
lon on fruit juices, which would give
the dominions a monopoly on lime
juices in England.
It was also decided to advise pref
erenco Tor empire TOBACCO Oh 40 pei
cent duty, favoring South Africa
against America.
The food and raw materials COM
mittee reported against the sugges-
ton of Prime Minister Bruce of Aus
tralia at the opening Of the confer
ence favoring subsidies, import IL
censes and price restrictions as meth
DDS of promoting imperial trade. The
committee reported that government
interference with the free flow of trade
would carry more evils than benefits.
1t recommended the closest co-opera-
ton between the home government and
the dominions and home and dominions
trade associations in efforts to pro-
mote trade and to secure uniformity
of methods.

Charles M. Schwab Bought
Off Woman twenty Years

New York.-Charles NJ. Schwab, steel
magnate, from time to time over a
period of twenty years sent money to
Mrs. Myrtle B. Hayes, who now is

dorsement to notes with which she at
tempted to finance a S5,OO0,OOO hotel
project in Brookline, Mass, he testi-
fed before referee in bankruptcy.
He did this, he said, because in 1902
he had advanced the woman $1,000,
and subsequent demands for money
were based on the threat of publicity
which would have resulted in placing
an erroneous construction on his pre-
vious associations with her.

Federal Reserve Board Rules
Against ALL Branch Banks

Washington. - Resolutions were
passed by the federal reserve board
settling for all time, so far as the
board is concerned, the long-standing
row over branch banking by member
banks in the federal reserve system.
Under the resolution state banks will
not be admitted to membership in the
system except on condition that they
abandon branch banking. Part of the
edge is taken off this action, however,
by a proviso that the board decision
will not become effective until Feb
ruary 1, 1924. Until that time state
banks with branches can come. in.

BAVARIA REVOLT
is BIG FLIVVER
Ludendorff and Hitler in Jail and
Probably Win Be Shot,
Says Report.
GERMANY UNITED BY MOVE

Munich.-Bavaria's royalist revolt
died in less than twenty-four hours
after its birth in a local bierstube. Its
leaders, Adolph Hitler and Gen. Erich
Ludendorff, have been arrested.
Deserted by the tedera1fy appointed
dictator, Won Kahr, whom they had
considered faithful to their cause, the
Fascist met the reichswehr in street
battles, in various sections Of the city
throughout the day, causing a number
Of deaths and casualties on both sides
HITLER was seriously wounded while
defending the Bavarian war Office with
his Idle hard" troops, after they had
been forced from a brewery, where
they were besieged for hours by the
reichswehr with bayonets and bombs,
General Ludendorff surrendered in
the Office of General Won Lossow, who
had promised to take up his duties i'm
mediately as Bayarian minister of
war. Instead, Won Lossow, unk10wn
to the Hittlerites, got into communities
ton with reichswehr Officials in Ber-
lin, Nuremberg and other cities and
swore fidelity to the republic.
Former Dictator Won Kahr simulta-
neously announced he had been forced,
with pistol at his head, to accept
Eittler's coup d'etat temporarily, and
that his speech, wherein he proclaimed
his confidence in the return of the an
Gent German regime, was his only al
tentative to immediate assassination
at the hands of Hittler's bodyguard.
Martial law was declared for the
whole of Bavaria. Death sentences
will be executed within a few hours
after being pronounced.
In Augsburg Herr Hittler's troops
attempted coup similar to that in
Munich, but they were met by police
and disarmed.
The unsuccessful attempt to over
throw the republic has cleared the po-
litical atmosphere and made Chancel-
Tor Stresemann's position intellectually
stronger.

Wreck survivors
tell how tobacco

When food and water gave

Perhaps they were only pirates OF

from the hand of Fate. Nevertheless,
they were very much human beings
when they found themselves miles out
to sea adrift in an open boat.
With two days supply of food and
water, they confidently expected to
be rescued in plenty of time. But
when the third day passed and no
friendly sail appeared on the horizon,
it began to look like case for Davy
Jones's locker.
One of the victims, crazy with
thirst, suggested that they divide
bottle of iodine and end the agony
quickly.
THE tobacco hasn't given out yet, =
said another. "Let's stick it out a
while longer" And they did.
Late in the afternoon of the fifth

the rescue.
