W YORK, April 8.-An

and the list of his matrimonial
ventures grows apace.
W thel Muir. young actress
et'Ridgefield Park. N. J., was at
ene time a sub of Grafton's
bpotic personality. She side-step
a marriage ceremony, believing
Grafton had a wife living at the
time.
"I was traveling with a road com
pany when I met Don Grafton in
ttsburgh." Miss Muir said today.
"His love letters followed me on tour.
and, oh. baby! you should read those
letters. We met again and Don
begged me to marry him. About that
time I met Paulette Romayne, who
told me she had been married to him
for a long time. At the same time
Don was supposed to have another
wife and two children in the West."

Mis Muir says she went about
With Grafton, who continually in
troduced her to his friends as "my
wife." At times, she says, she con
sidered this a lark, but there were
occasions when she was obliged to
explain she was not married to
Grafton.
"I dropped him after I heard
Paulette's story," continued Miss
Muir. "He wrote me scores of let
ters, many of which I still have."
No word of Grafton's whereabouts
bas been received, and Peggy Davis's
lawyer Is preparing to sue for imme

with marrying Miss Davis, sculptor's
model and juvenile actress, seven.

a ceremony with Miss Ellen Curley
McIntyre.
Mrs. McIntyre Grafton stays on
in New York, fearing the forked
tongues of Pittsburgh gossips.
Two Wives Work Together.
She is a devout Catholic and the
iea of divorce is abhorrent to her.
An amusing turn in the affairs
of Grafton's wives will arrive next
week, when Ethel Muir and the girl
known variously on the stage as
Paulette Romayne and Paulette IA
Iayne, but whose real name is Paul
ette Goode, rehearse in the same
broadway show.

responsible positions in New York,
Cleveland and Pittsbuggi. In 1920

Propped against pillows in her
Modest Harlem furnished room, Peg

marriage. She said:
"Late in 1917 I was asked with a

"I attended a dinner at which a

He was Lieutenant-Colonel Joseph

in the latter's home here, in the small
hours of Tuesday morning, after Day
says he found the airman in an at
tack upon his wife.
Since that hour all Oklahoma has
taken sides in the case. Day's story
is an old-age tale, a story of mis
placed trust.
Day, it was believed, will not
change his story before the inquesw.
He will insist that he found Beck at
tacking his wife and that Beck was
killed by accident when Day dealt
him a blow over the head with the
revolver.
It is to refute this story that the
airmen who served under Beck's
comman& at Fort Sill aviation field
have come to the inquest.
Headed by Beck's Son.
They are headea by Beck's son and
by his nephew, Liest. John W. Beck,
whose father-Colonel Beck's brother
-was slain under mysterious cir
cumstances years ago.
One of thp largest oraw,ls ever at
tending a court inquiry here is ex
pected to seek admittance to the in
quest room.
Twelve witnesses have been called.
Day himself will testify.
His wife will tell events preceding
the tragedy. She will ay, however,
that from the moment she saw her
husband, revolver in hand. her mind
is a blank as to the actual shooting
of the ariman.
Mrs. Rachel Beck, seventy-seven
year-old mother of the slain man,
arrived here. for a last view of her
son's body this mornung. She was
accompanied by the wives of army
officers from Fort 'Sill.
"It isn't true-it can't he true,"
Mrs. Beck said, crying softly. "My
boy could not do the things they
say."
The airman's mother is a tragic
figure.
Life One of Tragedy.
A pioneer of the early West-an
army man's wife in the Distant
Indian fighting days of Oklahoma,
Mrs. Beck settled at Fort Sill. Her
husband died. Then she wed Brig.
Gen. WillIam Beck.
"They have told me what is being
said of my boy,"- Mrs. Beck said.
"They tried to keep it from me, but
some day I would hear and It might
not he from the lips of those who
loved me.
"1 will be brave under the cross.
for my boy would want me to be'
brave.
"I must cry a little, but I'll try
oh, I'll try so hard to be just the I
kind of a mother he would want meI
to be," and the little gray-haired
woman forced- a wan smile through
the big tears which filled her eyes. 1
Leave Sunday for D. C.
Mrs. Beck is going to accompany
her son's body to Washington on
Sunday. She will see it placed be
side the grave of his father in Ar
lington Cemetery.
Mrs. Bec!. will not attend the in
quest.
*It was expected, even by Prosecu
tor Forest L. Hughes, that the jury
would return a verdict urging that
prosecution against Judge Day be
dropped.
Behind closed doors and acting en
the order of Judge James I. Shelpe,
of the district court, detectives from
the office of Forest Hughes, pros
ecuting attorney, sought today to
secure from four persons an admis
sion of a violent quarrel between
Judge Day and hIs wife.
The quarrel, one of the detectives
said, was reported to have occurred
in hour before Judge Day killed
Lieutenant Colonel Beck. The de
tective declared reports reac'hing
him from "sources that look mighty
good", told of Judge Day upbraldlng
his wife for her attentiois to Beck.
Tee Attentive To Reck-.
Mr. and Mrs. Paul H. Andersen
and L, H. Prichard, guests at the
Day home during the hours preced
ing the tragedy, were the witnesses
under examination. Mrs. Prichard
was not called, but will be one of
the State's witnesses at the inquest<
to be held later today.
"I want to tell my story-I want
'hem to know I em not to blame."c
birn. Day said today. "I have told

EQUAL RHTS IN

"Pure Land Sect" of Buddhist
Women Demand Change
In Ritual.
By &nat mwa 1n ews Serviie.
The nuns of Japan have become
infected with the doctrino of equal
rights for women.
Headed by 2,000 nuns of the Jodo
shu, or "Pum Land Boot." he re
ligious women of the Buddhist faith
throughout Japan have launched a
campaign for similar treatment to
that acorded to monks of the faith.
with some additions on account of
their sex.
During the present month at the
gathering of the Jod-ehu. In Osaka
and Kyoto, according 'to advices just
received from Toklo, the nuns will
formally present their demands.'
Foremost among those is their ples
to be allowed to perjnlt their hair to
grow instead of shaving the head,
as is now demanded by the ritual.
Throughout Japan Buddhist nuns
are obligated to shave the head, to
abstain from eating meat and to
remain unmarried. Similar oblga
tions were formerly requisite for
monks, but of late years they have
been disregarded.
"We are only human beings, and
we experience the same feelings and
emotions as other persons," says a
memorial from the Jodo-shu women.
"Why should we be forced to give
up our hair and be absorbed into the
spiritual world, while the men priests
are allowed to marry and eat meat
and while other women enjoy matri
mony?"
Leos than a year ago the nuns
voiced their dissatisfaction with
their lot and demanded reforms, but
they were silenced, mainly because
of their lack of organization, they
assert. Now that the movement has
spread to other sects of the Buddhist
faith, and the fighting spirit of the
women has become thoroughly
aroused, they believe their attempts
will be more successful.
Many other discriminations In
favor of male members of the faith
are charged by the women. They
contend that the general tendency
teregard nuns as Inferior to monks
is unfair inasmuch as all are In the
service of Lord Buddha. Nuna. they
aert. are not allowed to officiate
at funerals. are forbidden to sit in
the main part of the temple during
Buddhist ceremonies and, in short,
have been reduced to serving mer-ly
as messengers or flunkies for the
priests.
Officials of the churen and of -he
government are inclined tr blame
the priests themselves for the wave
of "new thought" which apparently
is sweeping over the nunneries of
Japan. Duribg the past four or five
years the priests have been engaged
in a campaign for manhood suffrage
through the religious organisations.

I suppose some day I'll be back

Dear ol4 Herb. I suppose, is just

I have a definite place in his heart.
I don't expect to be disappointed.
OCT. 12. 1919.
Arrived in N. Y. and taxied home.
No one got my arrival wires, so I
rode up to an empty home. It was
late and dark, but afterward mothe
came home and took me for a walk
on Broadway-but it was Broadway
uptown, and there's a difference.
Herbert 'phoned to see if I had ar
rived safe. How thrilling to hear his
voice on the 'phone. "Do you want
to see me?" he asked. Did I want to
see him! Well-rawther! But it was
too late then. I hung up the 'phone
in a daze. I was really, really going
to see him tomorrow after all this
wait and he seemed just an dear as
ever. Oh. long waIts do end so heav
enly sometimes.
OCT. 13, 1919. 2 A. U.
I jumped out of bed to soliloquise.
I've got to talk to somebody and
mother i fast asleep.
How surprised Herb will be to find
me such a big girl! I wonder if he
will like me grown up. Have I
grown prettier? I wonder. No one
can judge herself, of course. But I
like being grown up. I'm fourteen
now. 'Course I've been fourteen a
long time-most of the year-but the
trip East makes me more grown up
than ever. It adds experience.
Herbert always liked his "own
little girl"-but I'll still be his own
little girl. regardless of age. To.
morrow, when I meet him, I will
know what he thinks.
Oh, what will the verdict be! I
hope he likes me still. This is my
wish-and since a wish adds the
essenoe of the spiritual to the ma
terial, it ought to be gratified.
OCT. 14, 1919.
I've seen him-I've seen him
I've seen him. And he likes me,
he likes me, he likes me! Now
what do you think of that!
But then, why shouldn't he?
Herb is more handsome than
5ver. I came down the stairs into
the lower hall of our home In Can
tral Park West and I stopped short
)n the half-way landing to drink
n every detail of his appearance.
Herb is Mercury reincarnated. He
itood as if posed for flight like
'Mere." the swift-footed messenger
)f the gods.
I ran downstairs into Herb's
irrma. How wonderful it was to be
with the dear old boy again! May
wve never part-that's a wish, too.
We had a nIce long talk, and he
