M'ADOO TO SPEAK,
 N REEDS STATE
Will Answer Personally Attacks
 By Miss0urian

NEW YORK, Feb. 2S.-William c. McAdoo will invade the home territory of Senator James A. Reed and answer personally the attacks which Reed made against the McAdoo candidacy in a re- cent speech at St. Louis.
 David l.. Rockwell, Ohio manager for McAdoo, told the United News Wednes- day night of his chiefs decision to speak in Missouri at an early date. Rock well also denied reports of huge Me Adoo campaign fund.
 '"There seems to be in some quarters" Rockwell said in a statement, "an idea that there has been a large campaign fund raised, available for the pre-con- vention campaign of Mir. McAdoo. This idea is wholly false. The campaign of MT. McAdoo has been based on popular support and has been conducted with very limited funds"
 Rockwell said that every person who attended the recent conference in Chi cago of McAdoo supporters paid his own expenses.
 Inferentially, the McAdoo manager denied recent suggestions that Bernard Baruch and others had withdrawn their support from his candidacy.
 No individual has contributed or will contribute any more than a reasonable amount" Rockwell said, but I do not know of any one who has supported Mir McAdoo who has withdrawn his sup. port. No such person exists"
 Rockwell urged that all presidential candidates. particularly lawyers, "throw open their books to the public" reveal ing who their clients were and what fees they had received. r-''
 MT. McAdoos record is an open book" Rockwell said in this connec ton.

Eugenie Dennis, IS Years Old,
 Solves Baffling Crime Mysteries

NEW YORK, Feb. 2S.--Demurely facing group of high police officials and detectives, who have spent most of their lives in tracking down crime, Eugenie Dennis, 18-year-old school girl of Atchison, HanA for two hours at po- lice headquarters yesterday demonstrated she could, through her psychic powers, describe secret police records and sug- gest clues in unsolved crime mysteries. Officials declared her recitals were remarkably accurate and that her mis- takes were comparatively insignificant.
 To test the girl, Deputy Commis- sioner Faurot took from the record room the papers in loft robbery case and asked Miss Dennis to describe them. She described with almost faultless ac- curacy, the scene of the crime, arrival of the police, long wait, fights, shots fired and a capture.
 Throughout the test the girl was at her ease and her voice rose and fell with marked accentuations. Touching upon unsolved cases, Faurot asked whether Miss Dennis could describe the circumstances of the shooting some time ago of two policemen. She did So, then asserted that one of the two mur- derers as yet unfound, was named Mur. phy. The right side of his mouth turned up and his left shoulder sagged, she added,
 If the police could find blonde auto mobile mechanic, who lived at No. TOP, of a street in New York city, she said, they would be able to solve the mystery,

LIAR, CRIES WIFE
 IN DIVORCE TRIAL
Harris Tells Of Courtship, Love, Married Life And Ending
 Of Romance

NEW YORK, Feb. 2S.-Bcverly D. Harris, banker, who is suing for annul- ment of his marriage to Eleanor Elaine Lee Harris, on the ground that she concealed the true story of her past and painted pictures of aristocratic family connections, passed the day in supreme court telling the story of his courtship, his love, married life and the ending of the romance. When he left the stand his counsel rested his case.
 ,. Mrs. Harris case was opened with the submission of depositions tending to show that she, was Eleanor Elaine Lee, a daughter of Mrs. Seleuda N. Lee, born a few months before the death of Mrs. Lee, in 1896, but that she was not Samuelea Susie or "Susyella" Lee. The court room, as on other days, was crowded and the testimony, at times sensational, kept the spectators buzzing and brought frequent interruptions. Once. when her husband, on cross ex- animation, was asked about suspicion he once had had that his wife was the daughter of Zetta Lee, an octoroOn, Mrs. Harris burst into tears and sobbed on the arm of George Gordon Battle, her chief counsellor.
 Calls Husband Liar
 On another occasion when her hus- band, telling Of her efforts to get a divorce, said he never had as much as S5O,O0O at one time in his life, she leaped from her chair and gave him the lie. She was admonished by Jus tice Wasservogel and warned she would be taken out of the court room if it happened again.
 The banker, who said he now is 52 years old, told his story in every de- tail, from the time he was introduced to Elaine Lee in Houston, Tex, by Con gressman Jeff McDemore, until he learned by chance from a Memphis ac- quaintance that his wife was not a member of the aristocratic family of Lees who operated the Lee line of Mis- sissippi river packets.
 Congressman McDemore, he said, told him Miss Lee was one of the most beautiful and cultured girls he ever had seen, a true blue blood of the south and ''iust the girl you should meet" Me Demore recited to him her family con nections, he said, and everything he said was repeated by Miss Lee after he met her. He told of his love for the girl and their marriage. They went to the coast after their wedding, he said, but it was business trip, not a honeymoon. His wife smiled amusedly at this statement.
