tioning, undeterred by the warning

ed accusatory questions

MED that he knew Mrs. Stokes had an
income of $500 month and expenses
from her mother, Mrs. Arthur Scott
Miller of Denver, who had an income
of $500 a month. He denied that his
son of his first marriage, w. e. D.

lend money to Mrs. Stokes, except in

fed a. picture of Mrs. Stokes as that
of Helen Underwood" a former in
mate
Under Mr.. Smiths questioning, Mr.
Sokes argued so heatedly that c. F.
Rathbun of Chicago, his counsel arose
and demanded of the aged defendant:
do you want me to represent you
here or don't you?"
Each question brought on long ar
gument, the cross-examiner shouting
a,@l loti no wit nnQfnh-
ing his efforts, and Rathbun and w
w. Smith, assistant States attorney
trying to interpose objections.
Much of the cross-eSaminatio dealt
with pictures from Mrs. Stokes album.
Rebuked Third Time.
In trying to force 'yes" or mo"
answer to his question, Did you
want the children in 1922" Mr.
Smith encountered his third rebuke
from Judge Gemmill.
Gross examination is like any
other examin ation," said the judge;
I'VE are seeking the truth and moth
ing bur the truth. You have a certain
right, but the defendant has an am
pie and very broad right"
Mr.. Stokes answered, after the
question had been rephraSed: Il
wanted to see that the children were
provided for; 1 do not know whether
/ am a proper person to have custody;
whether any man is a proper person
to have direct custody of young chill
dren."
Mr. Stokes identified letter he had
written to Chicago agent in which
he said he wanted to paint his wife
in such colors that it would be shown
in court she was not proper per-
son to have charge of their two chill
dren, whose custody had been given
her by a Colorado court.
II wanted to do it for the children" I"
Mr.. Stokes declared.
The defendant testified that since
he started his investigation he had
learned that none of the informa-
tion obtained in his three-year search
would have been admissible In his

Ghost Ship Prores
Heap of Sea,oeed,
Under Queer Light

Weird tales of phantoms at sea
continue to drift in. Among the
latest is one concerning strange
derelict which appeared to mariners
only at night.
A Coast Guard cutter set out in
search of the supposedly drifting
menace. and cruised extensively
through waters from which had
come several reports of the odd
sight. Reconnoitering all about
and keeping a keen lookout for
the strange night appearing wreck,
officers of the cutter discovered
that under certain weird light at
night there appeared an object
strangely similar to a derelict.
On closer observation and examina-
ton, it was found to be seaweed,
which, when lifted on the crest of
a swell, looked like vessel
bottom up.

will stand or fall together because
woman can enjoy freedom only dur
ing peace, Mrs. Alice Beal Parsons of

Peace Union at meeting held at the

Mrs. Parsons, who is a writer, urged
that the world powers put aside war,
as the Americans did duelling, on the
grounds that both are ethically
wrong. She asserted that the method
of present days in attempting to name
a tribunal to settle disputes is un-
satisfactory. "Duellists did not for
a minute assume that they could set
tie their disputes by appealing to a
tribunal. Public sentiment simply in
sisted that duelling must go, and it
went"
