STOKES SON NOW
 IS IN CHICAGO
May Possibly Testify for His
 StepHlother

Chicago, Feb, 25.-The trial of W. F. D. Stokes, New York millionaire, and three co-defendants. charged with conspiring to defame his second wife, Mrs. Helen Ellwood Stokes, received increased attention today after the unexpected arrival from New York of W. E. D. .(Wed- die) Stokes, Jr.
 No announcement was forthcom- ing from attorneys as to the prob able part of the young man who was mentioned in the defense's opening statement In the present trial and who was sued by his step- mother in 1923 after letter alleged to have been written by him in revelation of intimacies with Mrs. Stokes was read in the first Stokes divorce suit in New York. Mrs. Stokes suit for s1,0o0,OOO alleged character defamation. It never has been brought to trial In outlining its present case, the defense asserted that the allegations of intimacy with his stepmother, young Stokes made in what has be- come known as the darling pop" letter would be proven. That letter read: My darling pop: I am sorry to say that l was intimate with Helen at Narragansett pier this fall. W. E. D. Stokes, Jr., II Jan. '19."
 Stokes, Jr., was not quoted, but the Chicago Tribune said that he had heated interview with his father upon arrival yesterday and there is every indication he will take an active, if sudden part in the trial XXX X, presumably to clear his own name of any alleged mis- conduct with his stepmother."
 Mrs. Stokes declined to confirm rumors that "Weddie" might testify in her behalf. She said she knew nothing about her stepson's' inten- tions and had not seen him for some time.
 Charles Furnish. formerly a por- ter in a resort, was allowed to leave the witness stand and walk about the courtroom to determine if he could identify persons who had ask ed him "to sign a paper" The de- fendants are accused of paying for fraudulently damaging affidavits about Mrs. Stokes. He identified no one, remembered no names. and there was no cross examination.
 Furnish said he signed a paper in taxicab, that the persons who gave him the paper gave him but mot for signing the paper"
 John Moore, negro, said he could not read, but touched the pen" when an affidavit was read to him.
 Sure they read it, but l didn't know what it meant" said Moore on cross s-examination.

 In six of these republics. Gannett declared, United States troops are now maintained He submitted loans contracts which he maintained committed the American government to the policy he referred to.

He presented contracts covering private loans to Salvador. Nicaragua and San Domingo, which he said impli- cated the state department and the United States government in their execution.

 Although one of the younger members of the senate, Mr. McCor. mick possessed some qualities Of unusual brilliance, and had a wide knowledge of foreign affairs. He was one of the most incisive orators in the senate. particularly on questions of foreign policncs.
 Dr. Noble P.

State Capitol, Hartford, Feb. 25.-- Today was another legislative day in which members talked little but ac- complished considerable work in clearing calendars of bills ready for adoption.
 In the house MT. Peck of Bristol objected to Dill which gave Der. lin the right to make ordinances on building lines because 1t had no pro- vision fer assessment of benefits or damages. Mir. Averill thought the bill should pass as 1t gave chance for an appeal after the town had adopted ordinances. MT. Peck pro- posed an amendment but Mir. filling raised a point of order that the amendment was not in writing, and was sustained by the speaker. The bill was tabled. Mir. Burrows of Groton was in tho chair at. the time and after Speaker Darbie took tho gavcl MT. Peck offered his amend ment to provide for suitable provi- sion for ascertainment of damages and benefits, and Mr. Lynch, chair man of the cities and boroughs com- 3mittee opposed it. The point made was that the bill does not establish building lines. MT. AverilI of Bran ford thought the amendment un- necessary as the constitution pro- vides against the taking of property without due. process of law MT. filling did not believe Berlin would disobey the constitution and MT. Peck was sure his amendment would do no harm and might be convenient The bill was adopted.
