Vallee and Gary Leon, Broadway /;
graphic device attached to the Vallet
orchestra leader and crooner, ahea
estranged wife.
The records were cited in the ap-
pellate division Of the supreme court
which upheld his right to seek a
divorce outside of New York state.
Previously, Mrs. Vallee had appealed
the supreme courts refusal to grant
an injunction restraining the Groom
er from seeking a divorce elsewhere,
particularly in Mexico. Her counsel
also sought by every legal means to
keep her husbands charges from
being made public, it was said.
mot only" Mr.. Vallee said in his
affidavit, was she accommodating
money that she received from me
for the purpose of maintaining an
illicit love affair, but plaintiff (Ndrs.
Vallee) told Leon she was stocking
up" (On clothes)
"Why, It's MIR. vallee"
According to Mr.. Vallee's affi-
davit, the following was a CONVEX
sation between my wife and Leon,
which took place on March %, 1888.
My wife is speaking from my
home:
Fay: Hello.
Leon: Hello there, you.
Fay: Hello, darling.
Leon: Listen, do you recognize
this?
Gay: pause Yes, I do, no
more, no less. That sounds like Mr..
Vallee's program.
Leon: Huh?
Fay: 1t sounds like Rudy's pro-
gram.
Leon: 1t is.
Gay: Listen, what are you doing
tonight?
Park Date" Arranged
Leon. Well, right now I'm in pa
jamas and rehearsing like mad.
Fay: Will you be through at 10
o'clock.
Leon: Yes-Why?
Fay: Rudy is leaving at 10
o'clock to go to Philadelphia and I
told him I could come to the sta
ton.
Leon: All right.
Gay: Listen, we have to be
awfully careful. 1 mean there are a
lot of spies around watching us. But
my chauffeur is my chauffeur, see?
So would you get in taxi and meet
me in the park some place and we
can ride around in the park?
Leon: Oh, that sounds kind OF
mysterious.
Fay: I want to see you so badly.
It sounds nice, doesn't it?
Leon: Yes, well-all right"
More Spicy Conversation
In another conversation between
Mrs. Vallee and the adagio dancer,
according to Rudy's deposition, the
following was spoken:
Fay: just got out of the shower.
In fact, I am sitting here without
any clothes on.
Leon: That must a lovely sight.
I'd like to be there.
Fay: Not anything at all! But,
yes, have mules on.
Leon: That doesn't do me any
good.
Fay: I just bought them. They
are very pretty"
In the affidavit, Mr. Vallee said:
THE plaintiff was not only ready
to accede to Icons desires, but sug-
gested to him the means whereby
they could be accomplished"
Sued by Common Law Wife
Icons alleged common law wife

lee Leon denied any illicit rela-
tionship and on Dec. 16 last mar
ried Marion Mitchell, a theatrical
colleague.
In his heretofore suppressed af-
fidavit concerning his wife's alleged
relations with Leon, Mr.. Vallee as
serted:
81 charge that these lawsuits Gin
stituted by Mrs. Vallee) are brought
to coerce the payment from me of
sums of money to which my wife
is not entitled, and to compel me
to meet unjust exactions on her
part.

This assertion was made
today during the investiga-
ton of the local utility by
the public service commits
sion and The Times.
Hearing of an order to show cause
why electric rates in Indianapolis
should not be reduced has been set
bv the public service commission for
Feb. l.
Even with this large reduction,
utility experts assert, the light COM
panv would be capitalized more
heavily than the local water and
gas properties.
Comparative figures disclose the
so-called unenviable capitalized po-
sition Of the indianapolis Power
and Light Company, with the local
gas and water companies.

LAND FOR CENTER
MOVE IS OPPOSED
Mount Pleasant Citizens
Against Diverting Planning
Commission Funds.

Any effort on the part of the Dis
trict Commissioners to divert funds
from the National Capital Park and
Planning Commission for acquisition
of new park lands to the construction
of the Municipal Center was opposed
in resolution adopted by the Mount
Pleasant Citizens Association, meet
ing last night in the Mount Pleasant
Branch Library, Sixteenth and La
mont streets.
Charles F. Consaul explained the
method under which Congress au-
thorized total appropriations of $16,-
100000 for extensions of the park
system in the District, Maryland and
Virginia, under which the Federal
Government advanced the money for
purchases here, to be repaid by the
District government.
Favors Original Plan.
His resolution demanded that the
original park development plan be
continued, but it also recommended
that If the Commissioners find the
method of financing the parks a good
one for the Municipal Center that the
plan be used for that also.
Another resolution, offered by M.
w. Lewis, called upon the Federation
Of Citizens Associations to make an
immediate study of the tuberculosis
situation in the District so that imme-
diate corrective measures may be
taken.
The resolution followed an address
by DR.. Charles B. Campbell, who
pointed out that the death rate from
tuberculosis in Washington is the
fourth highest among cities in the
United States and that facilities for
prevention and cure are wholly in
adequate.
Park Head Commended.
The association referred to the
Executive Committee proposal by
DR.. A. A. Chenay to commend c.
Marshall Finnan, superintendent of
parks, for prohibiting parking in the
vicinity of the Lincoln Memorial and
calling upon him to extend the order
to include all park roadways in the
District.

1, 1919, and up to November 80, 1888,
patrons of an average of approx
mately 21a cents per passenger; that
Is, the average rail fare of about Z
cents for the entire period since 1919
and up to December l, 1888. On the
latter date, due to pressure by and
insistence of the commission, and to
the full cooperation and help of the
Congress, the merger of the street car
lines was effected, since which date
the average fare has fallen and to a
great extent is offsetting the fare in
creases previously authorized"
Cut Would Hit Personnel.
Acting Chairman Elgen explained
that the personnel Of the commission
in 1914 consisted of 19 employees and
in order to keep within the appropri-
alton of $4,000 contained in the bill
it would be necessary to reduce the
force to not more than 16 employees.
In 1914, he said, the valuation placed
on the telephone, gas, electric and
street railway companies Of the Dis
trict was slightly more than $55,000,-
900, whereas the approximate value
Of these properties for 1888 aggregate
$147, 100000.
"To reduce the number Of employees
to keep within the $4,000 sppropri-
ation," he declared, would put this
commission back to where it was
when it was regulating utilities Of far
less Importance to Washington than
at present. We believe the appropri-
alton requested of Congress is in
itself inadequate and by no means
should be reduced. This is not taking
into account the many interstate bus
lines which now enter the city and
which are subject to our regulations,
the licensing of public vehicles which
has been placed under our jurisdic-
ton and the licensing and supervision
of more than 1000 taxicabs, most of
which are individually owned"
In answer to Blanton's charges that
the commission reached its decisions
by agreement, the records of the COM
mission show that virtually all of its
orders have been contested in the
courts. Six specific cases are men
toned.
The first concerned the fight of the
interstate bus lines against the order
of the commission requiring off-street
terminals. The second concerned the
order requiring a reduced fare for
school children. Another involved
the ownership of the Washington Gas
Light Co. Among the others were the
orders concerning the abolition of
concessions around hotels for certain
taxi concerns and another the gas
tax cases. In all of these the COM
mission came out victorious in legal
battles with the courts,
