Ellwood Stokes of Denver was call
ed to (he witness stand thia morn
ing in the trial of her husband, D.
E. D. Stokes, charged' with con
spiracy to defame her.
Her appearance on the witness
stand marked a departure under
the Illinois .statutes which prohib
ited a wife testifying against her
husband. Judge W. N. Gemmlll
ruled that her testimony should be
circumscribed that It would not be
..evidence sgainstaher husband, but
rather a defense of attacks on her
good name.
Mrs. Stokes was on the wUness
atand 30 minutes and was not
-cross-examined. She made a 'gen
eral denial of all accusations made
against her by Mr. Stokes and J. P.

sion a berth, and on another, a
compartment with a young man en
route from Denver to Chicago, or
in the opposite direction.
She also denied statements of
Mr. Stokes as to occurrences in
their New York home New Year's
Eve in 1819 when Mr. Stokes testi
fied she twice appeared partly dis
robed before her cousin. Hal Bill

defendant testified was followed
by their final separation January 1
1919.
Mrs. Stokes said that she never
had ridden on a train with any oth
er man than her husband and that
she invariably travelled with a
woman companion.
Mrs. Stokes testified that she
never had taken the train from
Denver upon which Burke said she

introduced as Billlg.
She denied that she had travell

her children n 1922. as testified
by Burke, who said that was what
made Mrs. Stokes a figure iu b:s

"The children were wards of the

could not have taken them from

Mrs. Stokes said that Mr. Stokes

WASHINGTON. Mar. 11 Presl.
dent Coolidge' was advised today
by republican leaders in the senate
not to resubmit the nomination of
Charles B. Warren of Michigan to

Mr. Warren shortly before leav

have sufficient knowledge of the
situation in Washington to enable
him to make any comment on the
action of the aenate yesterday.
He said that President Coolidge
had . telephoned him and asked him
to go' to Washington for a confer

been In Washington, he would have
nothing to aay because he dir not
understand the situation, aa he had
not been there for some time nor
had anything to do with the details
of the political fight in the senate.
Some of those close to the presi

'instead of making a new selection

Referring to Senator Eddy's re
cent statements relative to the
amendment to the prohibition law
passed by the last Legislature,
Mr. Cordon said:
"I note that Senator Eddy ex
pressea the opinion that it la not
within the spirit of the prohibi
tion law to employ local officers
'on fxed salaries to bo paid from
the prohibition fund. I confess
I am at a loss to determine how
he arrives nt this conclusion. I
know that it Is not supported by
our experience In this county,
i "This is particularly apparent
I when we consider the situation
, as It formerly existed at Reeds
I port. The papple of that com
I munly are one in the opinion
that the centlnual presence ot
Deputy Sheriff Grubbe in that sec
tion has been of Immeasurable
I benefit In keeping down law vlo
, lations, particularly violatlona 'of
! the prohibition laws. Both Mr.
' ijr.rni.t .ml tnvi.lt h.ia had loi
ters from people ln that section
imploring us to use every effort
to retain Mr. Grubbe at a fixed
salary. The purpose of every
criminal statute is to atop actions
which are detrimental to the pub
lic good. The fact that vlula
ttonn of such laws are punished
Is only Incidental, the chief pur
pose of the punishment being to
prevent repetition of the crime
and to deter others from committ
ing similar crimes. That is also
true of the prohibition law.. The
chief factor In keeping down law
violations Is the known presence
of peace officers. That Is one of
the' reasons why offlcera ot the
"a are often uniformed. The
known presence of a peace offi
cer In any locality Is a great fac
tor in preventing lawlessness In
that locality. It la better to pre
vent violations of the law than
It la to punish law vlolntjans.
That being the case, In my jWlg
ment, the spirit of the prohibition
law would dlctato that prohibi
tion funds be expended In pay

It will be the objective of tha
forest service officials, working in
the Umpqua National Forest, to
eliminate incendiary fires, reduce
man-caused fires to 10 per cent of
the total number of tires and re
duce fires of over 10 acres to one
tenth ot the total number, as well
as reducing the area burned over
to one-Kifth ot one per cent of tha
total foreat acrsjage during the
coming flra seaaon. One tenth ot
one per cent of the. foreat area
would be approximately 1,000 acres
wbich would be a particularly good
ahowing.
In order to reach this goal tha
service is planning an extensive
trail system, whiclS will checker
board the forest with rough trails,
so it will not be necessary to
travel more tban two miles through
