NEW YORK. July 7.-n( D. Stokes' tes
timony was still unfinished when .court
convened today for further examination,
when a charg of an attempt to murder
fltoksa waa mad a month ago against Miss
Llllkan Graham . and Miss Bthel Conrad.
'Thaparpos of these ptoapedingB Is to de
termine whether the evidence Is sufficient
to warrant cending th case to the grand
Jury, but the examination and . cross-examination
' 1 - conducted with suoh thor
oughness that H amounts practically to a
trial-
On th stand yesterday Stoke gave his
version of th alleged attempt on his life
when he visited the young women's apart
merit at Miss Conrad's Invitation to re
cover letters he had written to Miss Gra
ham. These letters were found by detectives
In the girls' rooms a few days after the
shooting, and alnoe then have been In ths
possession Of the district attorney. In
them Stokes, who said on tha stand yes
terday that he was 5" year old. for th
most part adopted toward the young girl
an attitude of fatherly counsel, advising
her against the stage, against Intoxicating
liquors and about life in general.
The two defendants and Miss Graham's
sister, Mrs. John Singleton, wife of a
wealthy California mining man, who ac
companied them In court listened to
Stokes' testimony .with frequent derisive
smiles. All three dress In the -daintiest of
summer costumes and present a refreshing
sight in ths torrid court room.
The pretty young defendauts were dressed
alike today In striking gowns of white
erge trimmed with satin.. Stokes wore
black and carried a boat-ahaped straw hat
of tho coolie fashion.
Part of the Letters Are Stokes.
When Mr. Stokes resumed his testimony,
he said he waa not sure how many letters
exhibited yeteerday war his. He thought
about eight '
H told of a visit made to his office on
May 21, last, by Miss Conrad, which was
th first time the letters were brought into
his notice. She cam into hi office highly
exalted and was unabla to speak for some
time.
"When she became calmed," Stokes con
tinued, "she told me she had been out to
dinner th night before Bh met Miss
Graham, ah aald, at th dinner and th
young lady waa In distressed circumstance
with little money and no clothes, and that
ah had taken her home to her rooms.
" 'When t went out this morning to busi
ness,' Miss Conrad said. 'I left Miss
Graham in bed. I forgot my pencil and
i returned for It When I got Into the room
I I w.as shocked to find a not on the table,
together with a bundle of letters, the not
saying that Miss Graham had committed
suicide and she had addressed the, letter
to the press.'
"Miss Conrad also told me." continued
Stokes, "that some of th letters wre mine
and some belonged to other men. Sh said
i she rushed Into th bedroom and found
Misa Graham in bed, her face all blistered
and burned, where sh had spilled car
bolic acid. A doctor was called and pumped
her out," Miss Conrad aald. "and saved her
life."
Paid Money to Miss Conrad.
"I told Mlas Conrad that Mine Graham
was an undeslrabl woman," said fUokea.
"and that I wouldn't give Mlas Graham on
cent, but l.sald I would give Miss Conrad
money for the nurse to look after Miss
Graham. Miss Conrad wanted me to rign
a note for 12u0 to allow Mlas Graham ic go
abroad. I said I would not. I would
givs no agreement because I though Mlas
Graham was a dangerous woman ' -
Stokes said she offered to draw a check
for $300 to enable Miss Graham to get to.
Belgium to Join her sister, whereupon he
continued:
"Miss Conrad aald. Oh, no, don't draw
a check, there might be some scandal
about It Give me the cash.' I said: 'AH
right' and gav her the money."
The defendant' attorney questioned Mr.
Stokes sharply regarding Misa Graham's
visit to hi farm in Lexington. Ky. Th
defense haa contended that tha girl ex
pected to find other guesta with tttokea.

Swanson Speaks
For Federal Aid for
PHblicHighways
Virginia Senator Advocates Appro
priation of Hundred Millions to
" Be Distributed Among States.
WASHINGTON, July 7.-The annual ap
propriation of 120,000,000 for five yeara to
improve the post -roada and rural delivery
routes of the government was urged In
the senat today by Mr. Swanson of Vir
ginia. '
Contending that despite th amailng
achievements In many directions secured
by the country It la notorious that the.
United State haa th poorest public roads
and highways of any ehrlllxed nation, he
said he regarded the subject as the para
mount one before the American people.
Mr. Swanson explained that his plan
would open up more than 1,000,000 miles of
roads to government aid, that the states 'or
local authorities would furnish an amount
equal to that appropriated by the federal
government and that th total would be
divided among the states, according to pop
ulation. He said th limitation to post roads and
rural routes eliminated any constitutional
objections. - The bill would create a road de
partment, consisting of engineers and capa
ble officials to carry out the project. The
measure, he explained, was modeled some
what after the Virginia law.
"The federal government" said Ssnator
Swanson, "should delay no longer extend
ing to the stat and looal authorities gen
erous aid for road improvement When the
federal- government commences to bear Its
fair share of th burden of th improving
ot publlo roads, that day will mark th
beginning of th end of bad roada In this
nation.
"it will open a new chapter in our his
tory, each leaf of which when turned will
gleam with more happy country homes,
better schools and churches and larger and
more prosperous social communities. The
American nation would be powerless to
pioture through tha vista of the coming
year th increased health and happiness,
th inoreased wealth and power and th
great moral and material advance which
would com to the republic on the Inaugura
tion of this great national policy."

moving to table a motion to reconsider tb
vote by. which Edgerton was named, and
the convention adjourned with th Norria
men still wondering what had hit them.

of Edgerton, but was turned down
when th vote was taken. Later when th

on delegatM to report Judge W. H. Eng

Immediately flung into th faces ot those
who named Edgerton that they were doing
wrong In placing a man on th stat com
mittee who had been so closely allied with
a United States senator In the past and who
virtually owed his present position to his
relationship with that man,
H. H. Wilson, a law partner of E. J.
Burkett late United States senator, took up
the gauntlet and asserted that the conven

Progressive Republican league of the state,
decried th methods of selecting a member
of th stat central committee under suoh
circumstances and with an Important sena

sideration of th vot which mad th .
recommendation of Edgerton, deolarlng that
