J. Thomas Heflin, jr.. 27, son Of

roof today, following a somewhat
hilarious voyage from Panama and
a colorful entry into the port OF
New York.
"Young Tom was met at the sta

and whisked away to the Heflin
home for "the long talk" which the
Senator said he would have with his
son concerning the evils of looking
upon the wine when it is red.
There was considerable commotion
over juniors arrival in Washington.
Photographers' flashlights doomed in
the vast concourse of the Union Sta

photographers.

photographers. The police looked on
curiously, while Heflin dashed at the
photographers, who, having their
pictures, due4sed out Of his way.

DIVORCE
TRIAL NEARS
JURY

RENO. Nevada, April 10. Q.NS).
Decision in the bitterly fought In
man divorce case may rest with the
jury who have spent the past four
weeks listening to its racy details
before sundown.
Altough attorneys for both Walker
P. Inman, wealthy New Yorker, and
Helene Garnet Patton Inman, his
wife. were reluctant to disclose their
plans, it was learned that evidence
is virtually completed.
Fortune At Stake
The jury will decide which win
receive the divorce and whether a
$4,000 property settlement made
between Inman and his wife shall
he approved, set aside or revised
upward or downward.
Mrs. Inman asks that 1t be set
aside and $250,000 approved in its
stead.
Inman started the divorce pro-
ceedings and his wife entered a
cross suit.
Mrs. Inman late yesterday com.
pleted her testimony after a grill
ing cross examination.
Ardent Letters Read
Letter after letter, couched In
fervent and poetic language, al
legedIy written to her by John
Steele. vaudeville singer, was read
the jury and Mrs. Inman asked to
identify them. She contented her
self by stating that the handwrit-
ing was that of Steele. She reiter'
ated her declaration that she had
"vamped" Steele to make her hus.
band jealous and had left his letters
for her husband to find.
The ''nose breaking" incident
figured in the testimony when q
deposition of DIR. Edgerton, New
York physician, was read in which
he told of treating Mrs. Inman. He
said he did not regard the nose
injury as serious and understood II

served, for tomorrow night Senior
Don Carlos Davila, the Chilean
ambassador, is giving dinner at
the Pan-American Union.
Don Carlos had an appointment
today with Sir Esme Howard, the
British ambassador, who is dean of
the corps, and it is likely a meet
ing Of the full corps will be called
later to weigh the matter with all
the solemnity that is inherent IN
such a grave matter.
State Department "Out"
Secretary Stimson not only washed
this hands Of the entire affair, but
sin letters to Sir. Esme and to Vice
President Curtis, whose insistence
that Mrs. Gam be accorded Second
Lady of the Land ranking gave
rise to the whole row, intimated
that the State Department was con-
cerned with weightier matters.
Instructions have been. given de-
nartmental officials, he said, that
they are "to give no further advice
or suggestions in such matters"
The Department Of State, he said,
has no authority to determine ques-
tfOr1s Of precedence among American
officials NOR of general social pre-
cedence around Washington" Fur
thermore, shocking as it may be to
some of the young men Of his de-
partment, the Secretary observed
he did not believe the department
should any longer even assist in
determining such questions.
A Pretty Tangls
This much Mrs. Gam gets out Of
the Stimson decision:
choose TO show Mrs. Gam, twill be
most agreeable to me-" Stimson told
Sir :Esme in his formal letter.
Stimson couched his letter to- the
British ambassador in these words:
As have written to the Vice
President. believe that while Mr..
Kellogg's letter correctly states the
custom which has prevailed during
recent years, neither Mr.. Kellogg
nor any other Secretary OF State has
intended to make official rulings as
to the precedence in which Aneri-
can officials and their wives should
be received within the houses of the
members of the Diplomatic Corps,
but that such decision rests wholly
within the discretion of the members
OF that corps themselves.
At the meeting OF the British En-
bassy Monday night, called to de.
eide what to do about Mrs. Gam,
a proposal to accord her the rights
OF q wife of Vice President. was
voted down.. and during the dis
cussion some Of the diplomats
pointed out that it was not up to
them ''to pull the State Depart.
ment's chestnuts out of the fire."
They further pointed out that to
dictate to Senators wives" over
whom they had no control, would
he improper. And besides that, 1t
was these same Senator's wives, one
high ranking diplomat pointed out
to his colleagues, who had objected
originally to according Mrs. Gam
the rank she and her brother were
fighting for,

Gam in on his arm. And maybe

The, intriguing part of it is that
Vice President Curtis will be the
ranking guest there, and must be

D. c. WIFE SUES,
CITES MANY /
ABUSES

Vincent II. McT9ale, $4,000 year
chief examiner of the Federal Farm
Loan Board, has been sued for
limited divorce, maintenance and
custody Of their seven children, by
his wife. Mrs. Helen G. McHale,
400 block Mt. Pleasant st. n. W.,
in Equity Court. Extreme cruelty
over a long period OF time IL
alleged in the wife's petition.
Through Attorneys Bell, Marshall,
Rice and Carmody the wife tells
the court that her husband, whom
she married December n, 1915,
spurued her after she had borne
him seven children and aided him
for years in reaching his present
post. go
Her husband first showed his dis
satisfaction with his wife, she tells
the court, after they came to Wash
inrton and he had become en-
amoured with young lady employed
In his office.
He began to abuse her and told
her she was "iiliterate, uncultured.
ignorant, unrefined and uneducated,"
she says, and declared he was
ashamed to introduce her to his
friends for that reason.
On one occasion as they were on
their way to the theater in their
auto, he stopped the machine and
made her get out, throwing her a
81 bill and telling her to get home
as best she could, she says.
He would criticise her housekeep-
ing and accuse her unjustly Of ex.
travagance, she claims, and put her
on q budget system whereby he
would give her SIS in the morning
with which to purchase provision
for the family requiring her to ac-
count for it in detail at the end of
the day. All this while he was max
ing $666.66 a month, the wife says,
pointing to the incongruity.
Tells Of Abuse
She describes an instance when
her health had become so badly
broken by his treatment that her
physician advised her to visit her
parents in Pittsburgh. Her hus-
band refused to allow her to 60 and
when she attempted to depart
against his wishes, she tells the
court he tore her hat from her
head and snatched their youngest
baby from her arms and refused
to allow her to leave the house.
After a beating at her husbands
hands last January IS, she had to
seek medical aid to relieve her pain,
she says. When she finally advised
him to let her live apart from him,
he refused to agree to provide for
her support, she says, telling her
that he was going to take the
children from her anyway and did
not care what became Of her.
They now live apart. according to
the bill, and the children are in
custody of the husband under the
supervision OF a negro maid The
wife claims that the woman Is not a
fit guide to the moral upbringing Of
the children and says the children
are often abused by their father.

KANSAS CITY, September ia
rev device being perfected for picking
up mail from the ground while an air
plane is in flight soon is expected to
be put into general use to speed up the
air mail service, 1t was announced here
yesterday at the concluding session OF
the National Air Traffic Conference.
The device was described as much
less complicated than the original ma
chimes working on the catapult pr1n-
ciple.
Experiments have proved, commit
tee of the air transport executives re-
ported, that mail sack can be picked
up from a dead standstill and that
plane can stand the resulting shock OF
several thousand pounds without dam
age.
Device Studied.
A study Of the problem has been
made by an air mail contractor selected
to cooperate with the Post Office De-
partment, and the committee reported
the device probably will be suficientiy
developed within the next few months
to enable It to BE- placed in general use.
It was pointed out that existing air
mail schedules can be speeded up ma
terially when it becomes possible for
planes to take on and discharge mail
without landing.
Better cooperation between various
air lines in the transmission of details
of schedules and tariffs was recon-
mended by committee headed by Miss
Amelia Earhart, transatlantic flyer.
It also was deemed advisable to in
form prospective passengers that most
life insurance policies which have been
in force longer than one year are a
complete protection to air travellers.
No special payment Of premiums is re-
CURED in most cases, the committee on
insurance of passengers and equipment
reported. II advice Of the committee is
