PARIS, July 21.--The first hearing
of suit for divorce brought by Doris
Stevens. woman suffrage leader
against Dudley Field Malone, interna
tional attorney, was held today be
fore the court tribunal of the Seine
department. The hearing came as
a surprise, because only a week ago
: Miss Stevens fatty denied that she
had filed suit against her husband.
At the conclusion of the hearing
Mr.. Malone told the Associated Press;
"In answer to published false state
ments, I wish to state unequivocally
that my wife has never asked for ali
mony, and therefore I have never re-
fused her alimony, since neither of us
believes in the principle upon which
alimony is based"
"Wife Is Splendid Woman"
"My wife is a splendid woman"

from friends of both parties that they
decided year ago that they were
unable to get along together because
they had equally strong minds.
The widely known attorney, who is
especially known for his work as
divorce lawyer, was served with the
papers in the suit while away on va
cation in Italy, service being accepted
by his French counsel.
Undecided to Last.
Miss Stevens denial that she was
going to ask for a divorce is explain
ed by friends of her and Mr.. Malone
as proof that she was undecided up to
the last moment about taking the
step. Those best acquainted with the
couple say that their romance is still
unended, but that there is such an in
tense incompatibility of temperaments
that it was impossible for them to get
along together.
The couple have been living apart
for more than a year, but met occa-

COUPLE STONED
bYFOUR ATTACKERS
AssaiIants Flee When Res
cuer Representations
in Hospital.

Stoned by four colored men who
attacked them last night as they
were in a parked car near OXon Hill,
Md. John w. Buckler, 3346 Prospect
avenue. and his fiancee, Miss AL
berta Rice, 1422 N street, are in a
serious condition at Casualty Hos
pital, virtually covered with gashes
and bruises.
But for the timely Intervention of
William Goodacre, 1914 Connecticut
avenue, who drove up just as one
of the men had dra gged the girl from
the car and her companion was
lapsing into Inconsistencies, the
couple might have suffered a worse
fate.
Hackers Flee.
AS Goodacre stopped, in response
to the girls screams as she Swayed
forward into the light of his head
lights, her face covered with blood,
one of the negroes struck him from
behind with a stone, infiicting cut
on the head and heaved another
through his windshield. The negroes
fed as Goodacre helped Buckler, who
fell dazed by the side of his car, into
his machine and started with the
couple to the hospital.
Sheriff Charles S. Early Of Prince
Georges County, assisted by three of
his five deputies, searched all last
night for the quartet with his only
clue the report of Buckler that he
had succeeded in cutting the face of
one of his assailantS and a descrip-
ton of one of the men furnished
by Goodacre, to the effect that he
wore a blue shirt and khaki pants.
Aroused by the attack, volunteer
posse joined the sheriff this morning
and a search of the neighborhood is
being made today. Sheriff Early ex-
pressed the opinion that the men live
in the vicinity.
After attending band concert at
the Monument grounds with the
parents of Miss Rice, the couple went
for q drive. Miss Rice, who is badly
shocked and is wounded about the
eye and forehead from rocks, stated
that they were parked in their car
when two colored men in an auto.
mobile drove past, pauslng to call
something to the about 'moV-
ing on"
Girl Pulled From Car.
A few minutes later the men re-
turned, this time accompanied by two
companions. Cursing volubly, the girl
said, the four men left their card and
surrounded their roadster.
Then they began to pelt the couple
with stones, trapping them in the car.
Unable at first to eXtricate himself
from the car, Buckler shielded the girl
from the flying stones as best he
could, receiving fearful bruises. He
has six bad gashes on the head and a
possible fracture of the skull, while
his mouth is mashed almost beyond
recognition.
Finally, the girl stated, two Of the
men drove away. One of the remain
ing two grabbed her and pulled her
from the car while the other grap-
pied with her weakened escort. 1t was
then that Goodacre came along, just
as Buckler had managed to hit his
opponent in the face and stagger
toward the girl.
F. NJ. Rice, father of the girl, Wis
tied Mr.. Goodacre this morning and,
thanked him for saving his daughter.
