Call Stillman Platonic
Godfather to Baby Leeds
Witnesses Expected to Show
Banker Merely Regarded
ChiId's Mother as Friend

During the hearings of the divorce
case Of James A. Stillman against
Anne Urquhart Potter .Stillman, which
opens to-day before Referee Daniel j..
Gleason, in Poughkeepsie, evidence will
be introduced to prove that Mr.. Still
mans friendship for Florence Lawlor
Leeds, named by Mrs. Stillman, was
purely platonic, it was predicted yes
terday.
1t will be shown that he befriended
her only because of a purely unselfsh
interest; that he stood as godfather to
her son, Jay Ward Leeds, when the
child was baptized into the Catholic
Church, and that the baby is the son
Of former dancing partner Of Mrs.
Leeds, whose name is Harold Leeds.
1t is expected that Harold Leeds will
be produced at the hearing to speak for
himself and the mother of his child.
Regarding "Clara," and "Helen," two
women whose names have recently been
incorp porated in Mrs. Shllman's amended
answer, it is predicted that Mr.. Still
mans attorneys will ask for more spe-
cific allegations regarding Mr.. Still
mans alleged improprieties with them.
1t is expected that Mr.. Stillman will
show that if they were guests at social
affairs rendered by him that in this
regard they differed not at all from
scores of other people.
Hugh Russell, the Buffalo osteopath
who testified that Mrs. Stillman told
him Fred Beauvais was the father of
Guy, will be the first witness called
this morning.

Presidency in the last campaign, spoke
IN favor of naval holiday at the

Customs Guards Find Fish
Ind Pineapples Totif,g Flask,
Interesting Scientific Discovery at Pier Held Thirsty
Bit of Nature Faking; First Woman Convicted
Under State Dry Act Fined $50; First Man, 800

Leo Steiner is not considered by the
Customs Department. to be anything in
the way of an ichthyologist. He is a
customs guard. Nor is Edward Star
rage looked upon by the customs au-
thorities as what one might cal, n
horticulturalist. He, too, la customs
guard. Nevertheless, these two yes
terday contributed to science. one of
them new genus of fish and the other
something new in the pineapple family.
Steiner was stationed at Pier IL,
where the ship Montserrat is tied up,
when George Vilada, fireman. came
down the gang plank with bundle
under eac harm. The tail OF fish
was visible from the ends Of each
bundle.
Steiner was aroused from his philo-
sophie state of mind by the appearance
OF the fish tails. The body OF the fish,
IS outlined under the paper wrappings,
suggested something unusual in the
fish line. So he stopped Vilada and
examined the fish. Sure enough, each
had glass bottle lying alongside,
Starrage made his discovery on the
Ward Line piers. The man he saw was
carrying a pineapple. 1t looked like a
straight out-and-out pineapple, and if
the top had not unexpectedly come
loose, letting the fruit fall to the floor
he might never have been prompted to
examine it. AS soon as it fell, how.

Bedtime Stories
King Eagles Return
By Thornton w. Burgess
The aoorst that is can never last;
Some day thrill be far IN the past
king Eagle.

King Eagle knows. He is old, is
King Eagle, older than any Of the
ether people of the Green Forest. He
has seen many things happen and he
has learned that nothing bad lasts
forever. Sooner or later it is a thing
ot the past.
No one had noticed that King Eagle
had not stopped with the rest near
the tree in which Stickytoes the Tree
Toad was crying the joyous news
that it was going to rain. He had
passed over that tree and then up in
great circles. Up, up, up, up he had
flown until he was sailing round and
round on his broad wings high above
the smoke that filed the Green For
est, SO high that he could look down
and see all that was below for a
great distance and could look up and
see what there might be in the sky.
No one noticed King Eagle go and
no one missed him. You see, no one
had eyes for anything or ANYBODY
but Stickytoes, the little prophet in
the tree who was so insistently cry
ing: "Rain, rain. 1t is going to
Iain!"
How do you know it is going to
rain? You are not high enough to see
above the breath of the Red Terror,
SO how do you know?" demanded
Old Man Coyote suspiciously. Of
course he meant the smoke when he
said the breath of the Red Terror.
81 feel it. feel it all over. It is
going to rain soon,'' replied Sticky
toes.
"How can he feel it?" whispered
Boxer to Mother Bear.
II don't know" growled Mother
Bear. Goodness knows | don't feel
anything but heat, and the breath of
the Red Terror makes the air driver
than ever. But if he says he feels it
1 guess he does. / never have known
rain to come that Stickytoes didn't
know it was coming long before the
rest of us, Don't ask ane how he
knows. He just does, that is all. All
the same time | wish we had the
word Of some one else as well.p
Hardly were the words out of
Mother Bears mouth when above
their heads there was a sharp rus
tling sound. 1t was made by the stiff
feathers of King Eagles great wings
as ne checked his fight and alighted
IN the top OF tree. Everybody
looked up at him eagerly. Everybody
New-York tribune., 1921-06-15

waited for him to speak. Even
Stickytoes was still.
Very handsome was King Eagle
with his snowy white head, and very
proud he looked, as BECAME tie king
of the air. There was something
of joy i'll his usually fierce-looking
yellow eyes as he looked down at the
eager faces below.
II have been high above the breath
of the Red Terror" said he, mean
ing the smoke, "and Stickytoes tells
the truth. The Merry Little Breezes
CT Old Mother West Wind are driv-
ing up great clouds and they are
black and heavy with rain, And they
are none too soon. The Red Terror
has turned and already it has nearly
reached the edge. of the Green For
est where it joins the Great Noun
tain. 1t is going to rain, just as
Stlckytoes has said. Let US hope that
the Merry Little Breezes get those
clouds here before the Red Terror
reaches the Green Forest"
They will! They will! Rain, 1aiHl
1t is going to rain. 1t is going to rain
soon!" cried Stickytoes joyously.
King Eagle looked over to the
branch where little Stickytoes the
Tree Toad sat. "He knows" said he.
Rain, rain! 1t is going to rain.'
shrilled stickytoes.

Keep to Your Colors

A captain, returning from South
America some years ago, saw a
ship in the wake bearing the British
ensign, but as she drew nearer the
English flag came down and up
went that Of the Chilean Republic.
AYE, aye, my lads" said the
Captain, that will never do. I
don't like that fellow that carries
double colors. He must be
pirate"
SO it proved. They had to clear
their decks and fight to preserve
their liberty.
Carrying water on both shoul-
dcrs and shifting flags for new po-
sitions in business or in State poll
cies are always signs of Benedict
Arnoldism.
Not only clear the decks, but
keep your hearts clear to believe
that the old flag, which Betsy Ross
made in Arch Street, is today the
greatest sunbeam of light and hope
to the world around.
