Tires OF
Weekday
Husband

White Plains, N. Y.-During
the week she considered him a sat
isfactory husband. But on week.
ends the wife needed someone else.
That's how Warren M. Helm,
wealthy executive of the James R.
Kearney Corporation of New York
city explains his marital situation.
Maid Kept Dairy
The week day husband revealed
his status here in Supreme Court:
White Plains, when his wife, Mrs.
Helen Helm, filed a motion to va
cate the impending examination Of
a prolific diary-keeping housemaid.
The Helms are playing a double
header. Each is suing the other
for divorce.
The husband accuses the wife
of trying to forestall the taking of
testimony from the voluminous
dairy of Adele Madison, the maid.
TWo Fat Volumes
Adele found enough time in the
B~rorfxville home of the Helms to
write no fewer than two fat vol
umes, much of which, according
TO the weekday husband, has t o
do with the weekend carvings on
of Mrs. Helm in widely separated
places, such as New York and
Pocasset, Mass, where there is a
Helm summer home.
Especially often, says Helm, is
the name of Alexander Levy men
toned. Levy, designated as a
New Bedford, Mass, manufacture
er, has been named correspondent
by Helm, who once won from him
a $4,000 alienation of affections
suit in Boston.
Adele To Sail December 8
Mrs. Helm is attempting to de-
lay, Helm argues, through his at
torney, Quentin Taylor, until the
maid and the diary escape to Esth-
onia, for which country the ser
want expects to sail on Dec. g..
Helm asserts he has witnesses to
prove his wife was found in a
compromising position with Levy
on Aug. IA, 1881, in the bed
chamber of the Pocasset home.
Hinkey Haines A witness
One of the husbands witnesses
is Hinkey Haines, famous former
Penn State football player, who,
with others, was catching signals
from behind some shrubbery.
Mrs. Helm, through Attorney
Bern Budd, asks for $1,000 counsel
fees and asserts her husband is a
glutton for wild parties.

Has Three
Ritz's For Wooers

Lupe Velez, beautiful Mexican
tempest, admitted that Harry Ritz
is in love with her, but, she added,
"It's more than that. It's the whole
three Ritz brothers who are in love
with me. And, if I married one.
| would have to marry the three
of them, and that's too much even
for Lupe."
Playing Together
Miss Velez, at one time reported
engaged to Gary Cooper and at
another to Winfield Sheehan, pic
ture producer, was in high spirits
despite the fact that she had a bad
cold and the city censor had cut
out 1.-THE best part of my act" for
the Sunday shows at the Metrop-
olitan Theatre where she is play
ing with the Ritz Brothers.
tIt.is this: Way,''l began Miss
Velez, "I have been playing for
two weeks with the Ritz brothers
and naturally we four are together
all the time. l love them, and they
love me. We eat together, we
laugh together, we clown together,
we have a good time together.
Then, l go to Hollywood to make
pictures and they go somewhere
else, and we don't meet for a long
time. 1t is always that way in my
life"
A Terrible Nuisance
Then with that dramatic en-
phasis that characterizes Lupe,
sometimes to the extent of pulling
out her chestnut har, she said "It
is a terrible nuisance whenever you
go anyway having them ask, who
is it now?' That's all they think
Of, talk of, but of course" she
laughed gaily, IF they didn't talk
about it, l wouldn't like it at all,

As Lupe talked in her dressing
room, the three Ritz brothers were
constantly popping in and out,
and it seemed that Harry averaged
two visits to his brothers one, but
that may have been a reportorial
miscalculation..

As Lupe talked, her small Mexi-
can "hairless' toy dog lay nestled
in the folds of a sumptuous mink
coat on the sofa. Her sister, who
travels with Lupe, appeared now
and then. The reporter asked, "Is
your sister married."

RAIL WAGE SLASH
PARLEY POSTPONED
Action Taken to Enable Ex.
ecutives to Collect More
Data Supporting Plea.
By the Associated Press.

CHICAGO, January 20.-The sixth
session Of the negotiations between rail-
way presidents and their organized en-
ployes was postponed this morning to
enable the executives to collect more
data In support of their plea for 10
per cent wage reduction.
The union leaders yesterday told the
railroad presidents that If they wanted
the employees to give careful consider
alton" to financial arguments for the
wage reduction, it would be advisable
for them to present "a written compila-
tion Of what they regarded as important
statistics"
The presidents said they would have
| the data compiled and yesterdays
meeting broke up early to enable them
| to start on the work. This morning,
their information was still incomplete
and at the presidents request the con-
| ference was deferred.
The new statistics backing up the
argument for voluntary wage cut for
one year were expected to deal mainly
with the needs of the railroads to meet
fixed charges and maintain credit.
| David B. Robertson, leader OF the
union delegation, made it clear yester-
day that this was what labor would
like to know about.
| The claim of inadequate return and
! talk Of the value of railroad properties
was classed by Robertson as useless
argument" and he added that labor
could not permit" the comparison Of
the standard Of living of today with
that Of 1918.

Both Leroy and Herman were charged
with first-degree murder after an in
vestigation by Prince Georges County
authorities, assisted by Baltimore de-
tectives. Leroy was tried at Rockville
Md, but the jury was unable to agree
on verdict.
About a year later, he was tried at
Annapolis, Md, and was convicted of
manslaughter. Judge Robert Moss sem
fenced him to 10 years in the Maryland
Penitentiary. The charges against
Herman subsequently were nolle
pressed.
While the law does not permit a
person to be tried twice for the same
offense, two first-degree murder
charges still stand against Leroy He
stood trial only in the death of Naomi
and two other indictments also charge
him with numbering Dorothy and Sam
uel. Under the Maryland law, however
both he and Herman could be charged
with the murder of Naomi's unborn
child.
Baltimore police were asked to con-
front Leroy with the discovery of the
dynamite and question him regarding it
Inspector Frank S. w. Burke, chiel
of the Washington Detective Bureau
said that since the bombing did not
occur in the District, his only action
would be TO notify Prince Georges
County authorities of the discovery Of
the dynamite.
If they wish to reopen the case
he said, he would send them the dyna-
mite as evidence. Should they decide
to let the case stand as it is, however
the dynamite would be turned over tc
the District for use in routine blast
