MAYO IS DIVORCED

prison for about five and a half
years. using his wealth in contest
ing court actions and in resisting
the efforts Of Miss Meyers, as her
name appeared in action. to obtain
judgments against him.
1t was said that Mayo's relations
with several women were brought
into public notice in the course of
the litigation, and Lois Waterbury
of New Haven, who lived in Brook
Ign as his wife and mother of his
two children by her. was one OF
them. He later married Miss Wa
terbury. 1t had also been brought
out that Mayo's first wife lived in
Pennsylvania and that he had three
children by that marriage.
Mayo was indicted on August IA.
1919. He fought his conviction up to
the appellate court division and the
supreme court and in all the years
that his case was in court he was at
liberty except for about three weeks
Immediately after his conviction and
until he could arrange for bail he
spent this period in the tombs in
New York city.
When the highest court in New
York state affirmed his sentence by
vote Of TO Mayo was surren-
dered by his counsel, George Gordon
Battle, TO Supreme Court Justice
Guy in chambers. A week OF grace
was granted Mayo in which to set
tie UP his affairs.
Mayo went to Sing Sing on May
Is. 1925. He gave his age as 66 at
the time he entered that place. He
was released after some months be-
cause of the condition Of his health
and also for excellence Of behavior.
Mayo's martial career covered 40
years. His first wife died in 1887. In
1890 he married Florence Weeks at
Binghamton, N. Y, and there were
three children. They separated in
1909. On April 2, 1904, Mayo went
through a ceremony 1t was claimed

with Miss Wilhelmina Mayer, aged
%, in Newark. the bridegroom rep
resenting himself as V. Julian May,
aged As. In his trial Mayo said he
met Miss Mayer at a boarding house
in Brooklyn. that they became &C.
quainted. and although she was en-
gagged to another at the time they
went to Coney Inland together and
told each other the story Of their
lives. Mayo claimed that Miss Mayer
agreed to deception practiced by him
on the minister who married them.
They lived together for several years
and until Miss Meyer heard Of Lois
Waterbury who was living in Brook
Ign at an address which also was
that Of Mayo.
A suit for breach OF promise fol-
lowed and there was in the suit q
verdict Of $101,33O damage against
Mayo. Litigation in effort to collect
the award under judgment DEGREES
lasted for several years, and prop
erty which Mayo had in New Haven,
Hamden, Stamford and CHER places
were at times under attachments.
Mayo at the time was a manufacture
err in Hamden and was reputed to be
wealthy. Miss Meyer endeavored to
obtain possession of the house in
Brooklyn in which Mayo was living
with Lois Waterbury. and it was re-
vealed that Mayo had decided the
property to the latter. The year pre-
vious Mayo's name had been brought
into the story OF the suicide Of Miss
Lillian Cook, his stenoyrapher. on
West Rock, New Haven, but Coroner
Mix on March 6 of that year entire
ly exonerated Mayo, holding that
Miss Cook alone was responsible for
her death.
When Mayo was sentenced, Hugo
Wintner, assistant distric: attorney,
had combatted pela for jeniency,
describing Mayo as modern Don
Juan" His wife and his daughter by
a former marriage were IN the court
room at the time.

Glasgow, Mont.-A Chevrolet truck
driven by ]. B. Wheatley, farmer
near Baylor, was completely demol-
ished and the driver only slightly in
jured Tuesday afternoon, when the
truck was struck by the east bound
local passenger train as it left the
depot.
The accident occurred at the 4th
street crossing at about lis. Mr..
Wheatley was starting to leave town
with the empty truck and failed to
observe the train, which on that day
was being pulled by a steam locomO-
tive instead of the usual gas-electriC
coach.
The locomotive struck the trucl
about the center of the grain tanl
body, swinging the front end bacl
almost against the drivers. The trucl
! was carried fully 100 feet on the pill
OF of the engine before the trail
could be stopped.
Mr.. Wheatley was trapped in tn
cab of the truck, being unable to opel
the doors, which were jammed, an
was only released when trainme
came to his assistance. His only ir
jury was a slight cut below the lei
eye, probably caused by glass fror
the broken windshield. That he es
capped serious if not fatal injuries

UNIONISTS IN OFFICE
AS SOCIALISTS SWEEP
READING ELECTION

Reading, Pa. = (FP)-Reading is
probably tn efirst large city in Am
erica where a Socialist administra-
ton gained almost complete power
overnight. After January 1, when
the Socialist administration elected
by an overwhelming majority takes
office, the Socialists will have great
er power in Reading than those of
Milwaukee enjoy despite their many
years Of nominal political ascendan-
cy.
Stump Mayor
J. Henry Stump, president of
Readings central labor body, goes
into the mayors office with two
Socialist councilmen to support him.
There will be two opposition mem
bers of the council, a Republican and
Democrat. A Socialist has been
elected to the post of city controller
and another takes the job of city
treasurer. Two Socialists have beer
elected to the board of education
which will give the party, in all pro
liability, the balance of power in tha

ness firms impressed with his ability.
Stump has really made Reading his
lifelong study. He is a complete
Pennsylvania Dutchman and knows
his people through and through.
Elect School Board
The successful candidates for the
school board are Raymond S. Hofses
and George D. Snyder, both young
men. Hofses is editor of the Read
ing Labor Advocate and Snyder is a
mill foreman with a fine record in
the local Socialist movement. George
D., it should be noted, is the son of
George w. Snyder, elected council
man.
HOfses Explains Victory
Raymond Hofses explains the So
cialist victory by saying that this
time his party did not attempt to
stage a campaign based on Marx.
The Socialists went out on to the
street corners and for two solid
months or more simply hammered
away every night in simple language
at a very few straightforward issues
the principal one of which was a
particularly unfair city tax assess
ment, which, as usual, put greater
share of revenue raising burden or
the wage earners.
Stump Promises Economy

and Snyder had pluralities over their
nearest opponents of almost 5000

Big Socialist Vote
The normal Socialist vote in Read
ing for years has been between six
and seven thousand. Maurer was
elected to the state legislature twice
with poll of about that size. The
total vote cast in this city election
was heavier than any cast in a num-
ber of years. How much of a Social
ist landslide it was can be seen from
the figures for the mayoralty race:
Stump, Socialist, 1865; Stauffer,

CIVIL WAR PASSES
MOST CHINESE BY.
By SCOTT NEARING, Fed. Press

Peking-(FP) = Newspaper stories
about China would lead the reader to /
believe that the country was one
big battlefield, and that the Chinese
millions were convulsed by civil war.
Absurd The civil war is almost as
isolated and as local as strikes or
lynchings in the United States. Here
and there, once in a while, there is a
battle.
Meanwhile, however, in one center
after anothre, the older forms of
! Chinese society are crashing them
i selves against the solid front of in
naturalization, and new institutions,
unknown to Old China are growing
rapidly on every side.
Never was a country fuller of con-
tradictions. Within thirty miles of
Peking, there are peasants in plenty
who do not yet know that the Mon
archy was replaced by a Renublic in
October, 1911. They still think and
live as they did in the nineteenth, and
the eighteenth and the seventeenth
centuries. So it is in many of the
more isolated portions of China. But
where railroads have penetrated;
where roads have been built; where
motor busses are running; where
factories are permeating an entirely
different story is being told. There is
growing up, with miraculous ranidity
modern industrial society, with the
institutions that always accompany 1t

Shanghai. Much silk is produced il
the neighborhood of the city. Abou
twenty years ago, all of this silk wa
reeled from the cocoons in privat

established. The next year there wer
two mills started. Eight mills wer
operating in 1914; fourteen were or
Grating in 1920. Five mills were es
h tablished in 1922; one in 1925; thre
in 1926. Within seven years the er
X tire silk factory industry of this dis
sr trict has been built up. All of tn
l. factories were organized by Chimes
\ and presumably, all with Chinese cal
