The same Blythe Daily. however writes a
letter to me which states that while the
defendant she and l were driving from Elk
ton she was told that we were married there.
Naturally neither the defendant 1 could
tell Blythe anything about our status, be-
cause she at all times believed that we were
man and wife, and when she says in her affi-
davit that we were never married in Balti-
more, she tells the truth, because she was not
in on the secret"
And then, having disposed of Blythe DAILY.
Helen returns again to that ranking phrase,
convenience and choice" saying:
Was our living together a question of
convenience and choice when. Immediately
after our marriage the defendant took me to
live with his mother at her estate in Long
Island where I lived with the defendant as
man and wife for more than year in close
contact and daily association, not only with
his dear mother. but with the most intimate
members of the Tiffany CLAM"
In winding up her petition to the court,
Helen gave some figures the upkeep of
prize dogs. seemingly with view TO provid-
ing gauge for the award of alimony.
1T costs about $40 to $50 week to keep
the dogs when travelling from dog show to
dog shew, besides paying for entry fees-Fhe
fees for entering from six to ten dogs would
be about $780, Defendant is in possession of
nine or ten dogs which he boards with people,
paying them about 500 a month"
George denies that he keeps nine or ten
dogs'-the number is seven he says-as well
as the incidental allegations of cruelty with
which Helen opened the legal battle Specifi-
cally. he says he never socked her in the eye
on Long Island. bounced water pitcher over
her head in Atlantic City. or floored her with
a flying tackle also on Long Island.
Oddly enough. all these incidents are al
legged to have occurred before gallantry left
off and legality began.

George, she asserts rose to the emergency
nobly.
He called my attention to the fact that
on our way to attend the Baltimore Kennel
Club show on Jan %, 1888, we would have
to pass through the town of Elkton, Mary
land. where he said could become man and
wife, without any publicity
The defendant and arrived in Baltimore,
Maryland on Jan. 81, 1888 and registered at
a hotel The defendant then informed me that
he had inquired from the hotel clerk and was
told that if we got married in Elkton, Mary
land, it would become a matter of public
record and that the marriage certificate would
be filed and would be picked up by the news
papers, on account of the name being Tiffany.
In order to avoid any publicity or en-
barrassment to the family and friends, de-
PENDANT suggested that we dispense with any
formal marriage ceremony and pledge our
mutual troth and take each other man and
wife in good faith. which he advised me would
be lawful marriage under the laws of Mary
land.
We then and there, on Jan. %. 1888, in
our hotel suite, both of us in a most solemn
and contrite state of mind repeated to each
other this ritual mutually agreeing to take
each other as man and wife. before God and

She was referring to this last remark in
telling the court that he admits he is a cad.
Perhaps a word should be said at this
point about the dog shows she mentions AS
such exhibitions by some freak of chance have
escaped the popularity of baseball, it may
seem improbable that man, when wrought
up. would say: Look I'm not going to any
more dog shows with you..." In fact. it
might seem that that is about the last thing
he would say.
Helen and George Tiffany. however. take
their dogs seriously. 1t seems to have been
mutual interest in the canine world that
brought them together in the first place and,
as far as can be made out from the dis
closures in the present suit, whenever there
was crisis in their lives there was dog, or
dogs, involved in it somewhere.
While all was serene between them, they
raised dogs and travelled up and down the
Atlantic seaboard, showing them. So the re-
fusa of one TO go to any more dog shows with
the other must have had all the extremely
serious implications of the more ordinary and
easily understandable remark: "Gwon, I'm not
gonna play in your backyard any morer'
Beginning her version of the saga of dogs
and gallantry. Helen through her lawyer
Bernard II. Sander. says:
I'VE had mutual interests and were at
tracted to each other in attending different
dog shows at the smart kennel clubs In the
East deny that anything in our relationship
was meretricious
During that period, met hundreds of the
best people in his social set and was received
as Mrs George Tiffany. We were registered
as members of the most important kennel
clubs throughout the East under the name of
Mr. and Mrs George Tiffany"
A letter fromEeorge's mother, containing
an invitation to come and live with her. Helen
says, was what brought this early, carefree
phase of their relationship to a close
Il took this invitation up with the de-
PENDANT and pointed out to him that would
never live under the same roof with his mother
in her home unless we became man and wife"

In Parked Car

Life in the Hinton family had
returned to something approaching
normal today, following very seri-
GUS crisis yesterday.
The Hintons came to Washington
yesterday from Stockville, Nebr.
Willard Hinton, head of the family,
parked his car in downtown Wash
ington and headed for the Veterans
Bureau, where he had business. In
the car, he left his wife, his IL
year-old daughter and a dog.
That was about l pm. and when
Mr.. Hinton had completed his busi-
ness, he started to return to his car.
He couldn't find it. For several
hours, he wandered through the
neighborhood, without any luck.
Mrs. Hinton, in the meanwhile,
was getting pretty frantic and also
slightly hungry. At length, Mr..
Hinton appealed to Third Precinct
police and Officers G. w. Chapman
and E. w. Blackbern were assigned
to drive Mr.. Hinton around.
They drove for some time without
finding the car. At length, a citizen
who had seen Mrs. Hinton anXiously
pacing the street phoned police and
told them there was car with
Nebraska tags in the 1900 block of
Pennsylvania avenue whose occu-
pants seemed to be lost.
The police took Mr.. Hinton to the
scene and witnessed the reunion at

CAMDEN, N. j., Sept. 4.-Declar-
ing a monopoly group" of large
manufacturers receives the bulk of
defense contracts an oficial of a
major c. I. o. union called on labor
today to organize a drive to help
keep the smaller plants open.
Speaking at the annual conven-
ton of the United Electrical, Radio
and Machine Workers of America,
william Senter, international vice
president, declared some OF the
smaller firms are being shut out OF
defense business and added:
What good does 1t do to gain
a dime an hour if plants are going
to close because of lack of materials?
I was told by one manufacturer who
was unable to get anywhere in
Washington that it was up to the
union now to put the pressure on"
Carey Defeated.
Mr.. Senter, who lives in st. Louis,
said his proposed drive already has
been started in the Middle West at
the request of small manufacturer
unable to obtain materials from
larger firms or contracts from Gov
eminent offices.
Earlier the convention passed a
resolution condemning the present
system of industrial planning under
the O.P.M. The resolution declared
the system could not avoid materials
shortages for defense.
James B. Carey, president of the
Electrical Workers Union since its
organization five years ago, was de-
feated for reelection after leading
an unsuccessful floor fight for a
strong stand against all 'iSmS."
His defeat yesterday came shortly
after delegates had refused to insert
the words Communism, ""Nazi-ism"
and "Fascism" in resolution placing
the union on record as opposing
'any person who acts or works
against the interests of the United
States or this union"
Mr.. Careys successful opponent
for the presidency was Albert j.

pairman in the General Electric Co.
plant at Lynn, Mass. Mr.. Fitzgerald,
who introduced the original resolu-
ton, was elected, 636 to 500.

Under the Dutch constitution, the

and a number of Jews have held high
