Father of 'FMii'
Still1nan Will
pDaughter
James Brown Potter Says
Guy Was Always Recognized
BY Supposed Parents
As Legitimate.

Chicago Tribune Omaha Bee Leased Wire
New York, June 26.-When James
Brown Potter, father of Mrs. James
A. Stillman, takes the witness stand
in the defense of his daughter, he
will swear:
Il affirm that Mr.. and Mrs. Still
man have always acknowledged to
me Guy Stillman as their child
everywhere and at all times, in their
homes, in Newport and in New York
City"
This was ascertained when
for the first time, the fathers atti-
tude and views i'll the suit of the
former president of the National
City bank against the former Eff
Potter became known.
Attacks Stillman Lawyers.
From press reports it was appar-
ent that. Mr.. Stilfman's lawyers and
himself were concentrating on their
Il cannot help from so styling it
unmanly and ungentlemanly attack
on an innocent baby and an assured
ly neglected wife," Mr.. Potter said
today. with reference to the mat
ter of the legitimacy of my grand
son, Guy Stillman, I affirm that Mr..
and Mrs. Stillman have always
acknowledged to me Guy Stillman as
their child everywhere and at all
times.
II have criticized Mr.. Delaney
Nicol's attack in public court on
behalf of his client as outrageous,
because real men and true gentlemen
do not attack women and children
under any circumstances, but always
strive to defend them, and because
the Stillmans constituted family
which good citizenship should seek
to defend aud not destroy, just as
patriotism seeks to protect the
greater family and aggregation Of
families.
Too Much Alone.
"That my daughter was much
alone, too much alone for marital
happiness, I know, but l never knew
that outside attractions in New York
City were wrecking a family and the
first / knew this was so was in a
letter from my daughter, which was
written to me from the Stillman
country place at Pleasantville, N. Y.
The letter was dated May. l, 1920.
Nothing in this letter or anything
which came to me abroad hints at
Mr.. Nicols charges; which, even if
they were true, should never have
been made publicly for the honor Of
the James A. Stillman family, Of
every individual member of it, and
of the honorable connected families
on both Sides"
Mr.. Potter at present is living in
a Westchester town. He and his
wife, the second Mrs. Potter, will be
strong for the defense when the pre-
sentation of its evidence begins
probably during the second week of
July.
Due TO the death OF John B.
Stanchfield, chief Of counsel for the
defense, hearings in the case were
postponed from next Tuesday until
Wednesday to give attorneys in the
case opportunity to attend the fu-
neral.

Bill
Is Opposed
Hoover
Secretary of Commerce Sees
Failure in Proposed $780,.
100000 Farm Export
Corporation.
Private Firm Is Advised
by ,she Associated Press.

Washington, June 2o.-Secretary
of Commerce Hoover opposed the
Norris bill authorizing the formation
of a government $lC0,000,000 corpor-
alton for the financing and market
ing of exports of farm products to-
day before the senate committee on
agriculture. Mr.. Hoover said that
while he sympathized with the pur-
pose of the measure he hesitated, ito
suggest or approve any plan that
would involve the government
further in any undertaking which
might result in failure, and which
should be left to private business"
Mr.. Hoover suggested, however,
that it might be feasible to broaden
the scope of the war finance corpora
ton somewhat. Under the terms Of
the Norris bill, the proposed agri-
cultural export corporation not only
would aid in financing exports, but
would act as selling agency, finding
markets for farm products abroad.
The secretary of commerce cited
the shipping board as "a terrible ex-
ample of the failure of attempted
operation" He said that
work of the nature proposed should
be left to private business as much
as possible.
One of the chief difficulties in
making such a corporation sue
cess, Mr.. Hoover said, was the
problem of finding men to take
charge of it who had had sufficient
business experience. He said that
man capable of earning 100000
year in private business should be in
charge of such a corporation in or
der to insure its success.
1T is hard to induce man capable
of earning salary of 100000
year to make the personal sacrifice
Necessary in order to direct the ac-
tivities of government enterprise
such as is proposed here" said Mr..
Hoover. 1T is easy to secure the
services of a $4,000 year man, but
hard to get one of the other kind"
Mr.. Hoover said man like Julius
H. Barnes, former United States
wheat director, would be needed in
order to make the corporation sue
cess,

Labor Union Law
Halts Funeral
Husky Gang of Educators
Nearly Precipitate Riot
Band Is Dismissed.

Chicago Tribune Omaha Bee Leased Wifc
Chicago, June 26.-Labor union
laws, backed up by gang of husky
educators" today halted the funeral
of woman and nearly precipitated
a panic. 1t appeared for time that
the dead woman would be barred
from her grave or that her inanimate
body would be kicked and tumbled
about the street in battle.
Mrs. Nicola Laduca, for many
years a prominent figure in Italian
society, was to be given a funeral
in keeping with her position. Her
son had employed band, made up
of Italian musicians, who are en-
ployed as shoemakers, peddlers and
in other occupations. The band.
resplendent in new uniforms, marched
UP to the residence of the late Mrs.
Laduca and began to play.
Ralph O'Hara, business agent of
the musicians union, appeared i'm
mediately and notified Peter Laduca,
the son, that he would have to hire
union band or there would be no
funeral.
you'll dismiss this band or
there'll be no funeral" was the final
dictum by O'Hara.
The crowd had grown to thou
sands and matters looked very threat
ening. A riot call was sent in and
the police told the agents of the auto
livery chauffeurs' union they would
have to get away from the home and
let the funeral proceed, whereupon
all the drivers leaped from their
seats and left the carriages and
hearse deserted.
On advice Of the police the fami-
ly finally dismissed the band; the
union chauffeurs then returned and
the funeral proceeded.

Clash Over Hides Likely
BY ARTHUR SEARS HENNING

BY ARTHUR SEARS HENNING,
Chicago Tribune-Omaha bee Leased Wire.
Washington, June 26,-The great
battle in congress over permanent
tariff revision, the first big construc-
tive measure on the Harding admin
istration legislative program, will be-
gin this week,
Chairman Fordney OF the ways
and means committee promises to
introduce the voluminous bill
Wednesday in the form agreed upon
by the republican membership of the
committee. The next step will be
to,determine whether any of its pro-
visions are unacceptable to any large
proportion of the republican mem-
bership of the house, which will be
ilone at republican caucus Thurs
Eay night.
r. If any provisions are disapproved
by the caucus, changes therein will
be made by the ways and means COM
mittee before reporting it formally
for passage.
Controversial Features.
Indications are that the major con-
troversial features will be the pro-
vision for American valuation of i'm
ports, the duties on lumber and
wool, which are alleged to be higher
than those of the ill-fated Payne
Aldrich act, and the provisions OF
the chemicals schedule for protecting
American manufacturers from the
destructive competition of Germany
dyes.
Advocates of American Instead of
foreign valuation of imports subject
to advalorem duties, which would
4 mean increased protection on such
! articles, claim they have enlisted the
support of President Harding to
force the provision through the sem
ate, which rejected it in the emer-
gency tariff bill and which will be
the scene of the crucial contest this
time. Opponents of the plan are en-
deavoring to win the president to
their side or induce him to hold
aioof from the controversy.
Plan Rejected.
The plan suggested by the treasury
officials of introducing the American
valution provision of the bill in ad-
vance of the provisions containing
rates of duty has been definitely re-
jecsad,
The fight against the proposed
dufv IN finished humber has de-
veloped greater momentum than in
the case of opposition to other
schedules. II is considered quite
probable that the opponents will win
out in the caucus and that finished
lumber will remain on the free list
in the bill as formally reported to the
house.
Fears that the duty of Is cents a
pound on secured wool content may
prove too high in the case of some
woods have caused the committee to
insert proviso that in no case shall
! the duty be more than a certain ad
valorem rate. The question as to
whether the wool duty is too high
will be one of those brought up at
the republican caucus.
Other provisions against which a
tight will be made in the caucus in
cludc those which leave hides and
crude petroleuem on the free list.

representing two families, were found
burned to death early this morning
at the home of Ernest Lawrence, six
miles north OF this city near Hickory
Grove. The fire which destroyed
the log and frame three-room farm
house started about midnight and
lasted until nearly 4 this morning.
When the fire had subsided enough
for neighbors to reach the victims,
there was hardly enough flesh and
bones left to identity the dead They
are:
Ernest Lawrence. 55.
Mrs. Lora Lawrence. his wife.
Fred Lawrence. son, 5.

His wife, Ola Drew, %.
Harry Drew, son, s.
Otis, jr.. son, 4.
A 4-months-old baby of the Drews
and Delma Drew, l4-year-old
nephew of the Drews.
Drew and Lawrence are brothers
in-law and the Drews were spending
the night with Lawrence and his
family. Neighbors TO the north of
the lonely. almost isolated little farm
home, stated under oath at the coro-
ner's inquest that they heard women

ing on the case:
There is no doubt every person
in the house was murdered. The
dress of one of the babies was
drenched in blood, which prevented
the clothing from burning. An axe
was found in bed with one of the
women. A fve-gallon coal oil can,
usually kept in the kitchen, was
found just inside the room where
the II were sleeping.
-Four shots had been fired from a
pistol. :,

blow on the head several years ago
and since has been addicted to occa-

never had shown violence when he
was delirious before. however"

GOSSIP OF
THE STREET

II yesterday = market can be accepted
as a criterion, Wall streets attitude
toward the stock market has undergone
a complete change. Bad news seems to
have lost its effect and the bear crowd,
notwithstanding their long list of VIC
tories. apparently has lost their grip.
Traders evinced a distinct desire OF pre-
ferring to act on favorable events. This
was strikingly evidenced by the way
the market ignored the Federal Trade
Commission 8 complaint against the
United States Steel Corporation. which
might have caused q big setback. The
20 per cent cut in tire prices, instead
ci producing a fresh outburst Of liauida :
ton IN these stocks, put them among
the lenders Of the forward swing.
II all goes to show that the temper
oi the market, to a great extent, de-
pends altogether on how the trader
feels. Up 70 few days ego nothing
looked good. Now, the rank and file
prefers to look for the bright side OF
every event and when the majority work
themselves up into this frame OF mind,
success usually crowns each separate
and concrete effort on the constructive
side.
Az the bulk Of the business at the
moment is still being supplied by pro-
fcssional and Semiprofessioual traders.
