VOLUME VII MAS, STOKES TO HAVE CHANGE 11 DEFEND ELt Grand Jury Will Hear Evidence on Reputa- tion of Divorcee. CHICAGO, Sept. 24—An- nouncement that the county grand jury would have an opportunity to investigate the charges of Mrs. Helen Blwood Stokes that her hus- band, W. EB. D. Stokes, wealthy ‘New York man who she !s suing for Aivorce, and his agents have sought to ruin her reputation, was made today by Assistant State's Attorney Charles S, Wharton. The announcement came after a week of bizarre testimony and ac- tions, with a climax at 2:30 o'clock “this morning when Mrs. Stokes ap- peared with her legal counsel in the county building and confronted a half dozen persons, mostly former colored attaches of cafes and resorts in the once segregated vice district on the sduth side. She defied any of them to identify her as an hab- itue of any resort and all professed themselves unable to {dentify. her although some were alleged to havo admitted that they had signed cer- tain affidavits which they repud- fated.

Deep Faith in Spiritual Things, Tem- pered by Hard Common Sense Is Kind of practical Idealism Represented in History of America WASHINGTON, Sept. 24.—President Coolidge ad- dressed the annual convention of the Red Cross here to- day, his first public speech since the death of former President Harding. A deep faith in a rataal things, tempered by a hard com- mon sense adapted to the needs of the world is the kind of practical idealism that is rep-|to serve the weak, but to adminis- resented in the history of America, President Coolidge said today. The people he added, are not likely to adopt any other course. The idealism of which he spoke, the president sai_, was illustrated by the men who went to the rescue of Europe when their own liberty and the liberty of the world was in peril, but, who, after victory was ter such service in a way that will not destroy or degrade by making mendicants, but will restore and strengthen by making character. It is the policy which helps in an emergency, but realizes that, finally, each individual and each nation must work out their own destiny.

Chief among these, he said was its practical idealism. “The American Red Cross is a modern application of an ancient principle,” the president said. “The idea of charity is very old.

It is life in obedience to the things that are unseen. “Throughout history men have been prone to put their trust in other things and have failed. They have sought for power through ma- terfal, resources alone. They have thought it might be gained by_the accumulation of great riches. They have attempted to rely upon the naked ‘forces of armies and navies, conquering by the might of the sword, but these forces as police and criminal courts and bolts and bars are necessary.

While weird rites believed intro- Cucing new material into the invis- {ble empire, were going on, silent figures in white stood sentry duty at all highway entries to the scene. Five robed figures on horseback scanned all who approached the masked crowd, passed on their ell- gibliity and continued their vigi} over the gathering. Belief that the initiafon ceremony ‘was conducted by the Ku Klux Klan was substantiated by the following advertisement carried in a Denver newspaper during the week: “Ku Klux Klan members: “Obtain immediate instructions from secretary or other known klansmen.
