TOO WIDE OPEN.

This proposition is too wide open
for comfort and this is why Mrs.
Smith and her counsel hesitate a
bout accepting the proposition. The
air has been cleared and the field is
now open for President Taylor and
the True Reformers have stated
their ultimatum. IL is Mrs, Smiths
move and she is taking time to con-
slider all Of the phases of lawsuit
that will be long and exhaustive.
We are justified In saying that the
True Reformers have said the last
word before the contest formally
opens.
A WORD ABOUT THE CONTRACT.
Thove who are in a position 10
know and those who have seen the
contract signed by the True Reform
ers' officials and held by Mrs. Mollie
Browne-Smith state that she can un
auestionably get judgement against
the order, but the collecting OF such
a judgement is the question. They
allege that she cannot attach the
property OF money Of the Order II
the fact can be established that fra
ternal funds cannot be utilized Tor
this purpose. OF course, Mrs. Mol
lie Browne-Smith and her attorneys
do not take this view OF the situa-

MR.STILLMAN
MADE BRIEF
ARGUMENT

Probably the last public chapter in the
litigation OF a decidedly strenuous kind,
in which Charles +. German and James
w. Stillman have been engaged, was
enacted in the appellate division OF the
supreme court today. Chief Justice
Douglas and Justices Dubois and Blod-
gett were upon the bench.
Mr.. stilman. who claims to have a
uuiverful Of complaints against Mr.. Cor
man, wanted an interlocutory decree
entered last November set aside, claiming
the decree was entered by fraud.
MIR. Stilman was proceeding with it's
usual charges against Mr.. German when
ne was informed by Chief Justice Douglas
that the court had already passed upon
the matters under discussion, and II and
the bar association had found Mr.. Cor
mans course in settling case for the
benefit OF the speaker 10 be professional.
During the hearing there was some
confusion about whether Mr. Stillman
had received n letter from Mr.. German.
With fire swapping from his eyes Mr..
Stillman said when Chief Justice Doug
las asked concerning this letter. 'I have
no correspondence with him or any other
Irish lawyer"
After a moment or two Chief Justice
Douglas said, "All members OF this bar
stand here i'm court on equal terms and
IL Is not a matter OF religion or origin
with which we are concerned"
Mr.. Stillman apologized 10 the court
and withdrew his words. He was inform
ed the court would let him argue on the
form of final decree.
Mr.. Stillman thereupon became indig-
nant, declaring ne had prepared a long
argument covering points not yet touch
ed upon. He asserted that from the two
reports Of the case in the Rhode Island
Reports no one could tell tina. he had a
genuine and substantial defence to Mr..
Germans suit and the court should write
an opinion denouncing that gentleman's
fraud and perjury.
The coaEt told Mr.. Stilman 10 pre-
pare his decree with that OF Mr.. Cor
man.
Mr. Stillman declared this was not tho
first time he had been denied a hearing
in Rhode Island. Chief Justice Douglas
paid no attention 10 this final remark

The Russian emperor, II is true. has
not yet decided for peace, but the grand
dukes and all. or practically all the MEM
bers OF the court who have access 10 the
emperor, are for peace. His majesty Is
described In the gossip that goes about
here as standing alone irresolutely.
The considerations that still delay his
his reign is a failure II Russia does not
win the war. and that his prestige as a
sovereign will be lost at home and in
foreign countries. but he cannot yet
bring himself 10 speak the word that will
set the peace negotiations in motion.
Much good sympathy Is felt for the
Russian emperor in higher official life
here, but IL Ia regarded as a certainty
that he must yield TO his family and min
listers and that the month will not end
without peace In the meantime the pros
pect OF peace and the incertitude OF the
emperor weakens the military administra-
tion and delays the execution OF plans for
fresh armies and the gathering OF new
supplies.
