CITIES MUST
 ARRANGE OWN DAYLIGHT PLAN

Governor Lake yesterday signed the bill which passed both Houses of the State Legislature making stand ard time the only legal time in the state. This will be contrary to an ordinance in Bridgeport and several other towns and cities of the state. That Bridgeport must nevertheless operate on daylight schedule in conformity with the railroad, begin ming April 24th, is obvious. This can apparently be accomplished several ways. A proclamation by the mayor might help, while the ordinance com mittee of the city council may yet find a way to legally pass an ordi- nance that will in effect cover the situation.
 The great majority of the people of Bridgeport want daylight saving and this common wish, or common consent, will carry the plan if every thing else fails.
 Just what statewide effect the signing of the bill by Governor Lake will have is problematical. New York City, the State of Massachusetts, and the connecting railroad, have adopted daylight time commencing April A. It is pointed out that even the farmers, who are supposed to be uniformly against the daylight saw ing idea, and for whom the recent standard time bill was passed, will lave to live according to daylight schedule in order to market by train dairy and garden products that are obliged to go forward each morning.

BITTER FIGHT RAGING AROUND
 GUY STILLMAN
Think Neither Banker Nor Wife Will Win Divorce Mrs. Stillman Determined To Protect Her Name and Birthright of Her Child.

New York, March 25.-Little 2S months old Guy Stillman has become today the central figure in the divorce fight be- tween James A. Stillman, the multimillionaire president of the National City Bank and his wife and about this carefree boy rages struggle upon which hinges a fortune of vast millions.
 The fact that the fight is now cen- tering upon this little boy, whose pa ternity has been repudiated by the banker, is emphasized by develop ments which are now brewing. It is reported that the impression is grow ing that neither Stillman nor his wife will win a decree of divorce in the present legal battle and that the fight is narrowing down to an attempt upon the part of Mrs Eff" Stillman to prove the legitimacy of her child and effort on the part of the hus- band to prove that Fred Beauavis. the Canadian Indian correspondent, is the father of the child, thus depriv- ing him of a share of the Stillman millions
 John p. Mack, guardian ad litem for Guy Stillman was expected to appeared today at a special session of the Supreme court at YonkerS before Justice Morschauser, who heard the Sti1lnan a1inony arguments at White Plains on Wednesday. It was be- Ieved that John F. Brennan, chief of counsel for Mrs. Stillman also would attend the special session of the court. As the courts are usually idle on Good Friday the opinion was pre- Valent that any proceedings taken to- day would be of unusual importance
 The fact that Mr. Mack was to appear made it evident that any new steps in the case affected little Guy StiIlman, the innocent storm center of this turbulent legal conflict.
 Baby Guy is with his mother at Lakewood, N. J.. entirely unconscious of the tumu1t and charges and coun- tercharges in this sensational family break. He is more interested in his toys and the approaching spring which will enable him to romp out doors than anything else.
 Banker Stillman is said to be de- termined that the child (who was born in November, 191S) shall inherit none of the millions left by the elder James Stillman. The banker is said by his friends to be determined to leave nothing undone and to fight to the last legal ditch to win his ends. But the banker will have oppon- ents worthy of his steel. Mrs. Still man is fully as determined to protect her name and the birthright of her child. Alongside of her protestations of innocence are the denials of Fred Beauvais the half breed Indian guide that anything wrong had occurred be- tween him and Mrs. Sullman.

Games Of Chance Are Prohibited
 At State Fairs

Gambling devices. the standby of carnivals, circuseS and state fairs, will hereafter be among the missing at agricultural fairs in Connecticut The passage of a bill by the state Senate yesterday prohibits the use or location of all manner and forms of gambling games on fair grounds. A stiff argument preceded the passage of the measure when a, coterie of Danbury men protested that the bill was aimed at the famous Danbury Fair. They were successful in their efforts insofar that Senator Hall, of Wilmington. father of the bill, draft made the bill more general in char acter. The bill, which will effec- lively put a check on gam bling at fairs, emphatically prohibits all games of chance where watches, chips, jewe1ry, cigars or other mate ria1s are used in lieu of money, and provides that no person will be all lowed to carry or conduct such games at a fair.
 The Senate yesterday presented the name of John R. Booth, of Danbury, Governor Lakes nominee for judge of the common pleas court for Fair field county, to the Judiciary com mittee.

 IS SILENT ON
 LANSING BOOK

Washintgon, March 25-The sharp indictment of Woodrow Wilson's con- duct on the peace negotiations at Paris, drawn up by his former sec retary of state. Robert Lansing. in a book of memoirs which went on pub lie sale here today. created intense interest in government and political circles.
 Spokesman for the former presi- dent said today that MT. Wilson has not read the book. although private copies of it have been available to a select few in Washington for the past few days.
 MT. Wilson has read the stories from MT. Lansing's pen in recent magazines. He has refrained from making any comment on them even to his most intimate associates, his friends said today.
 Some of MT. Wilson's former as sociates expressed doubt today that he would attempt any formal an swer to MT. Lansing's charges. Such course would be undignif1ed for a former president and world figure, they said.
 By others it was believed that some of the few men who still have the confidence of the former president will take up the burden of defense either with or without his pernis- sion.

Chamber of Commerce Sec retary Won't Discuss Board of Education Book keeping Until the Board of Education Speaks.

Seward Price, secretary of the Chamber of Commerce, has seen the attack made by John B. Wynkoop, assistant secretary of the board of education, on the system of account ing proposed by Lill, the Chamber of Commerce investigator.
 But MT. Price refuses to express return opinion. His attitude is that been attacked by any responsible city department, and that MT. Wynkoop expresses merely the views of an in- dividual.
 The attention of MT. Price was called to the circumstance that MT. Wynkoop speaks for the board of ed ucation, but MT. Price thought there must be some mistake about that, "since the board has never met, nor ever considered the subject matter of the report"
 MT. Wynkoop asserts that MT. Lill does not know his business as an &C., countant, and accusing him of run ming a correspondence school for be- ginnerS. He asserts that the board of education will not adopt the Lill system.
 The particulars to which Wynkoop objects, are the inclusion of janitorS salaries under expenses for instruc- tfon, instead of in expense for opera ton, and the cost of domestic sci ence training under maintenance in- stead of under instruction.
 The city is likely to find 1tsei1 e1n- barrassed with several independent systems of bookkeeping, if present developments go to a logical conclu- sion. The City Auditor it is said will adopt the Hill system. If the several boards maintain independent systems, there will be, in the view o1 some of the city fathers. confusion worse confounded.

bishopric here involved no question of seniority or rank.
 This means that Baltimore will re- main the seat of an ArchbiShopric, successor to the Cardinal to be nam ed by Pope Benedict at some future date from among the bishops or arch bishops of the United States. It is believed however, that the successor to Cardinal Gibbons as archbishop of Baltimore is not likely to be eleva ted to the Cardinalate in the very near future-perhapS within the next six months, new archbishop will have been selected to take over the reins laid down by Cardinal Gibbons with his death yesterday.
 The affairs of this archdiocese in the meantime that is the time elaps- ing between the death of the Cardinal and the appointment of his successor, will be conducted by an administra- tor. This administrator will be ap- pointed at special meeting of the con- sultors of tsSe archdiocese to be held at the late Cardinals residence late today.

Profound mystery still surrounds the bomb explosion which wrecked the home of pr. J. D. $. Smith, 737 Lafayette street, early Monday morn ing. From the shattered dwelling the police were unable to unearth very few promising clues, and their investigation so far has been almost entirely along theoretical lines. De- spite this handicap however. detec- tives are putting forth every effort to unravel the baffling case.
 The identity of the woman who is said to have been seen near the home of Dr. Smith, has not yet been es- tablished. She seems to have disap- peared completely, but the police have not yet given up hope of her appre- hension. Until this woman is caught, it is likely that the police will not be able to do much more than mark time unless unlocked for develop ments are brought to light.
