Max D. Steur, chief counsel Of
william Earl Dodge Stokes, seventy
three-year-old millionaire. who is
seeking to divorce his pretty, titan.

Stokes as a "dotlng husband" and
a "benefactor to all mankind"
Jury to Get Case.
Samuel Untermyer, Mrs. Stokes'
attorney, already had concluded for
the defense and the case was ex-
pected to go, to the jury shortly.
Never. perhaps, has a divorce
case ran such a wide range of the
dramatic. Five full court weeks
have been taken up in the hearing.
Fifty-six persons have testified
twenty-eight for each side.
Regardless OF the verdict the
case Of Stokes against Stokes Is far
from over.
NClOLS AOA 0SOhoS AS expected to
result in:
IAN appeal by Mrs. Stokes 70
the higher courts.
2-An action by Stokes tn have
his two children now awarded to
the mother, taken from the turisdic.
ton of the Juvenile Judge, Ben 3.
Lindsay, Of Denver, and awarded to
him.
"a contest Of the dover right
award, granted his wife bv the
New York supreme court.
If Mrs. Stokes Wins.
Victory for Mrs. Stokes probably
will bring:
IA grand Jury Investigation
directed by District Attorney + A
Banton, OF New York, to detern,ina
IL perjury was committed I'm tho
present case.
2-Prosecution in Chicago of cop-
spiracy indictments against STOKES

witnesses.
Substitution of Mrs. Stol,eSr
separatio suit. with a demand fo,
SIS, 900 a year alimony. the case to

York supreme court.
| Am appeal to a higher court
of the verdict in the present case.
| Substitution Of action, bv Mrs
Stokes, to have her dover right for
$2,333,333. confirmed at once.
Such litigation probably wouId
keep the Stokes case on the legaI
calendars Of at least threa state
! for the, next five years.

tire building was ablaze. The fire
was under control in q little more
than an hours time.
For a while the fire threatened
to spread to the Loose-Wiles Bis
cult Company, on the west side, and
another warehouse Of the Wilkins

cahndise is located in the new ware
house at 527-533 Rhode Island
avenue northeast. adjoining the
other. The damage in the new
warehouse was caused by water.
The property and stock de-
stroyed was covered by the usual
forms Of fire insurance. Due to a
protective fire wall, the larger part
Of the company's plant was saved
and We are today making deliveries
from undestroyed stock"
Firemen were still pouring water
into the old warehouse until a late
hour this morning. Most OF the
apparatus returned to its houses
about or 8 o'clock.
