Hammerstein Memorial to Go

The continued failure of Mrs. Emma
Swift Hammcrstein to meet balance
of STATS due on the monument she
had erected over the body of her hus-
band, Oscar Hammerstein, the opera
impresario, in Woodlawn Cemetery
caused attorneys for the contractors
to announce yesterday that the memo
rial would be sold early next month
to the highest bidder. Later Mrs
Hammersten said that she still was
unable to meet the payments, now
several months overdue, but that she
was hoping something would develop
tc prevent the sale.
The price agreed upon in 1910 be-
tween E. H. Stone Co., the contract
ors, of 1870 Broadway, and Mrs Ham
merstein, was S2,72S. To date $3.50
OF this sum has been paid Disposition

against Mrs. Hammerstein has been

One of Kings Greatest Acts,

Owe British Sovereign Deep Debt of Gratitude, Says
Lloyd George; Believes Disarmament
Plan Will Succeed

LONDON, July Ia (By The Associat-

a council of ministers at the House of
Commons tonight to discuss his meet
ing with Mr.. de Valera. Later he pro-
ceeded to a dinner of the Liberal
Coalitionists, where he received a
great ovation.
Apologizing for his late appearance
he said he had been engaged in i'm

discharging them had to meet his col
leagues and report to his sovereign
WHO, he declared, was taking very keen
and close interest in the proceedings
and to whose Intervention so much was
attributable.
1--WE owe him." added the Premier,
"a deep debt of gratitude for this, one
OF the greatest services he has rem
dered." This was greeted with loud
applause.
With reference to Ireland, Mr.. Lloyd
George besought his audience not to
tempt him into an indiscretion.

Question of Oriental Inn
migrants i'm A me ric a
Also Vital to Nipponese

TOXIC, July IL (By The Associated
Press) (Delayed) President Har-
ding's suggestion for conference at
Washington for the limitation of
armaments, to be accompanied by q
discussion of general Far Eastern
questions by interested powers, has
been officially received and was length
lily deliberated upon to-day by the
Cabinet.
Since the filing of this dispatch
Japan's acceptance of President Har-
ding's suggestion for conference has
been received at Washington, no refer
ence being made, however, to Far
Eastern questions.
The entire empire, from the highest
officials to the humblest citizens, has
been prepared for months for such a
move, which everybody recognizes is
destined to have a momentous effect on
the future Of the Far East and the role
Japan is destined to play therein.
Every difficulty Japanese statesmen
are likely to find in attempting to fix
the scope Of Japan's political activities
in the future in the Far East is put
forward here to explain the apprehen-
sion created by the second part Of
President Harding's suggestion, name
ly, that the armament conference
should logically include discussion of
general Far Eastern problems.
Wary as to Far East
Japanese officials decline to discuss
the matter, but the correspondent is
informed that while japan heartily
welcomes the armament deliberations,
the belief prevails that the suggestion
of a conference on policies in the Far
East is one requiring the most careful
consideration by Japan, and some
doubt is expressed as to whether Japan
would accept such an invitation blind
ly, without first inquiring into the
nature and scope of the questions to be
brought up at the conference.
1t is considered likely that Japan
will make inquiries on this point. 1t
is pointed out, for example, that the
status of Japanese in America is an
important question to Japan, which
might like to know whether it is in
cluded in the suggested discussion IL
is evident, however, that Japan con-
Slders armament as the fundamental
subject of the proposed conference,
and this she is ready to discuss.
There is some misunderstanding To-
cslly as to the nature Of the Presi-,
dents proposal. Japan has received
no formal invitation, but, through the
counselor of the American Embassy,
Edward Bell, received an inquiry as to
whether an invitation to an armament
conference would be agreeable. This
was coupled with theA suggestion that

POUGHKEEPSIE, N. Y, july IL
Guy Stillman, infant co-defendant in
the divorce action brought by James
A. Stillman against his wife, had his
first innings at the resumed hearings
before Referee Daniel J. Gleason to-
oay. He scored heavily when Hamil-
ton Phelps Clawson, of Buffalo, took
the stand on his behalf and swore that
James A. Stillman was with his wife.
Anne Urquhart Stillman, at their
Pleasantville estate on January l, 6
and 27, 1918, ten months prior to the
birth of the child.
Clawson's testimony was in contra
diction of the non-access contention of
the plaintiff. 1t proved to be the firing
of the first gun in John E. Mack's fight
to prove that the banker, and not
Fred X. Beauvais, as alleged, is the
father Of Guy. Three other witnesses
will be produced by the defense who
will swear that Mr.. and Mrs. Stillman
were together on various dates earlv
in 1918. Their testimony will pave the
way for the motion which will be nut
by Mr.. Mack, before the case proceeds
much further, requesting that Guy be
declared legitimate.
Clawson will be recalled to the stand
tomorrow to be cross-examined by the
prosecution He is the first witness
for the defense that counsel for Mr..
Stillman have shown any desire to
cross-examine. This, coupled with their
eagerness to curtail testimony, is taken
as direct indication that they regard
the divorce issue as dead and are con-
centrating their energies on disprovine
the claim of the infant co-defendant to
his birthright.
Steward Tells of Helen
To-day's session was brief and argu-
mentative. Counsel for the defense put
on their witnesses with expedition.

mentioned at any time in the case. This
witness described in detail incidents on
the bankers yacht and told of the fre-
quent presence there of Florence Law

given to the days proceedings when
one witness produced a copy of ref
erence submitted by James A. Still

behalf of Franklin Harold Leeds. The
banker pointed out in this letter that
