Mrs. Stokes Is Winner at Retrial Wife of Rich Hotel Man Is Found Innocent of Miscon duct in Rooms of Co-Respondent. Honor Is Vindicated New York. Nov. 9.—The honor of Mrs. Helen Elwood Stokes has been vindicated. A Jury of her peers late this afternoon said “no'' to the charges of Infidelity brought against her and thereby crowned with vic tory the five-year battle she has waged against the money, the re sources and the bitter hatred of mer millionaire husband. The Jury was out an hour and seven minutes though Its delibera tions took considerably less than that. As the isses In the case had l.ecn reduced to one court of whether the defendant had been guilty of misconduct with Edgar T. Wallace In his apartment at No. 13 West Thir ty-fifth street, the Jury’s negative answer to that part of the interroga tory was the signal of defeat for the plaintiff. The Jury took only one ballot. Though the charges of misconduct against Mrs. Stokes have been dis posed of, the courts are not yet through with the Stokes case. Isa dore Shapiro of counsel for Mrs. Stokes, announced today that the separation action started by Mrs. Stokes against her husband was on the calendar in the special term of the supreme court for next Monday. Actions Wore Thrown Out. In the first trial of the Stokes case tho divorce and separation proceed ings were linked. Rut both were thrown out through tb • error of Justice Kdward R. Finch In failing to sign the necessary papers before he was elevated to the appellate di vision benth. The courtroom was only partly filled when the jury filed in to render its verdict. Hut The corridors were jammed and the bailiffs had to clear a passage for tho Jury. The 73-year old plaintiff who had been wandering restlessly around the ralled-off In terior, took a seat by himself at the end of the long table. Mrs. Stokes was seated to the left of Samuel Un terniyer. As the clerk of the court approached the jury foreman she raised a quivering white-gloved arm and placed It on Mr. Untermyer s arm. "Have you reached a verdict?" the clrrk asked. The foreman made a scarcely au dible affirmative reply and handed tho folded paper to the clerk. The millionaire plaintiff leaned forward, his chin In his hand. The clerk read aloud. On count ninetlje verdict was: "No." Mrs. Stokes Weeps. There was a flurry of handclap ping Interrupted by the hammering of the Judge's gavel and the ahout ing of bailiffs to keep quiet. Justice Mahoney thanked the Jury for Its at tention. Mrs. Stokes put a handker chief to her eyes, shook hands with Mr. Untermyer. then walked over and shook hands with each of the Jurors and JMstlce Mahoney. Mr. Stokes sat for a moment with out moving. Then he put on his brown overcoat, pocketed—In a man ner of speaking—his million dollur de feat. and left the courtroom. A num Irer of women evaded the bailiffs' ef forts to clear the courtroom and rush ing over embraced (lie still tearful de fendant. Mix I>. Steuer, counsel for Mr. Stokes, was not in tho courtroom when tho verdict was rendered. His concluding argument to the Jury, though finished, pointed and elo quently sarcastic, Implied an admis sion of defeat. He risked tile Jury to discard sentimentality and decide the case on tho point of whether Mia, Stokes hail been guilty of miscon duct. The efforts of W. R. 13. Stokes to divorce his wife has cost him well over a million dollars. Cohiinhus “Minute Men" to Fight Secret Societies <'olunibu*.

Washington, Nov. 9.-The Brit* ish-Amerlcan plan for an expert in quiry into Germany's capacity to pay reparations, in the opinion of the Washington government, has been frustrated and defeated by the atti tude of France. This view was made kntjwn of ficially at the State department late today, after .Secretary' Hughes and Ambassador Jusserand of France had conferred again and after it had been announced at the White House that Presidet Coonlidge believed the re stricted lquiry desired by Premier Poincare would be useless. The ambassador is understood to have informed Secretary Hughes during his visit to the State depart ment that the French premier was prepared to insist that the powers of the proposed expert committ^-e should be broad enough to permit only of anjnqpiry of Germany's capacity to pay during the period ending with 1930. Secretary Hughes Informed the ambassador of the feeling of the Washington government that its pur poses in suggesting an expert Inquiry as a step toward solution of the rep arations tangle would be frustrated by the French limitations. That ap parent closed, for the present at least, the diplomatic conversations that have been proceeding between Washington and Paris. It was indicated that the govern ment here had no Information as to the probable action of the allied gov ernments in the circumstances. It is to be assumed, however, that the proposal to invite the United Stat-s will be dropped, since It could only meet with rejection ,n Washington. Mayo Says Disease Is Older Than Man Minneapolis.
