Greeted by Lieut.. Governor at

Hylan-To Attend Legion
Convention-Again Meets
COmrade in Admiral ROdman
of American Navy.

New York, Oct. 21.-His gold-braid-
ed cap cooked jauntily over his left
ear, Admiral Earl Beatty landed II
America today to receive a hale and
hearty welcome from thousands assem-
bled on the Battery wall.
BY his side was Rear Admiral Hugh
Rodman of the American navy, who
had served on the North sea during the
stirring days ofthe war with the gai-
liant fighter commanding the Grand
fleet. Admiral Rodman. honorary aide
to the first sea lord, had journeyod
down the harbor to meet his old COM
rade, and when the crowds saw the
two sea dogs, cheer followed cheer.
Greeted at the Battery by Lieuten-
ant Governor Wood after triumphal
voyage up the harbor on the tug Wig
liant, to which he had transferred al
Quarantine from the Acquaintania, Adj
miral Beatty motored up Broadway to
the plaudits of thousands lining the
great canyon. At City hall he paused
tot hear Mayor Hylan welcome him 10
the city and then continued his jour
ney up town to the house of Marshall
Field, his host while in New York.
Sunday he will leave for Washington
on his way to attend the American
Legion convention in Kansas City.
Accompanying the admiral to Amer
lea are his American wife, the former
Miss Ethel Field Of Chicago; their son,
the Honorable Peter Beatty aged y;
and Miss Gwepdolyn Field. Lady Be-
atty's niece.
The admiral was wearing his un-
dress uniform heavy with its gold lace.
and on his chest were spread myriad
of medals, including the DISTINGUISHED
Service Cross conferred on him By
the United States. Birth records don't
lie, but Britains Goth century Nelson
looked not day over 40.
Lady Beatty, protected from q sharp
wind by furs around her neck. was
wearing great bunch Of American
Beauties. The Honorable Peter, who
announced with the British equiva-
lent of 1T looks good to me" that he
liked America, wore his derby tilted
nearly to the angle OF his fathers
cap; smart top coat, and knickers.
Americans were not he only ones
to greet the admiral. Lined up to
wave him welcome were number of
former British soldiers. As has been
said. they came to wave. but they
ended by "shaking;" for. sighting
their uniforms, Earl Beatty sought
them out.
With brisk wind bowling along
New Yorll's streets, Fifth avenue was
not Is crowded as usual with idle
pedestrians, but when the admirals
fog bedeckcd car and police escort
came in sight, cheering broke out here
and there along the line. Many build
ings flew the Union Jack beside the
Stairs and Stripes.
Just to upset the convention that
every sailorman should drop dead of
fright at the sight of horse, Admiral
Beatty spent most of his trip up the
famous avenue questioning secret ser
vice men about the mounts of the
New York police. The earl, 1t seems,
inhcrits his love of horses from his
father, whose greatest JOY it was to
ride to the hounds.

BABY
STIlLmAN WOULD.
PROVE LEGITIMACY

White Plains, Oct. 21-Members of
the Rockefeller. family interested in
the $37,0oo.O0O trust fund created by
the will of the late James stillman
today opposed efforts to draw them
and all other potential benefciaries
into-the divorce litigation begun by
James A. Stillman. banker, against
the former Fiji Potter and Baby Guy
Stillman.
Through counsel, they argued
against a motion which would have
all potential benefciaries show cause
why they should not be made co de-
PENDANTS with Mrs. Stillman and
Mr.. Stillman impugned This move
was made by John F.. Mack, guardian
for Guy, who told supreme court jus
tice at today's hearing that his pur-
pose was to settle in the one divorce
action both the paternity of the child
and his right to share in the fortune
left by the elder Stilman.
]hiIiCb L oNHNS, COduStl lOt VI D
Percy A. Rockefeller and Mrs. Will
liam Rockefeller, sisters of James A.
Stillman, contended this would bring
into the case large number of per-
sons with no interest whatever in the
litigation save that under the will Of
the elder Stillman that hey were en-
titled to share some time in the trust
funds.
He declared the court. without jur-
isdiction to grant the motion mas
much as the original divorce action
charging Mrs. Stillman with infdelty
and branding the child illegitmate
was statutory.
"If they want a JURY. we are sat
isfed" exclaimed Mr.. Mack. after
all, the whip hand does not apply to
a court of equity"
Mr.. jerks asked Justice Morschaur
to use his head not heart. Mr. Mack
suggested that both he employed.
He charged that the New York
bankers sole object in bringing the
suit was to have Guy judged illegiti-
mate.
'Tf this child IS found to be lecit-
mate" he added, "for Gods sake don't
bring back this stain. This child has
a right for his life.
Through me he saws In effort TO
this court: The family Of my father
is against me in my efforts to protect
my good name. and that IS all 7 am
trying to do. 7 believe I can protect
my good name If the matter is final
" adjudicated at this time. but. II
it is not finally settled now. years
later the witnesses by which 7 can
now establish the legitimacy Of my
birth will have died or become in

7 POLICEMEN HURT
BY BOMB AT MEETING
OF REDS IN PARIS

Paris, Oct o1-(By A. P.)-Seven
policemen were injured tonight by
the explosion of bomb thrown into
crowd in Waggam avenue during
meeting held by the French COM
munist party in protest against the
conviction for murder in Massa-
chusetts of the Italians, Sacco and
Nanzetti. Several of the manifesto
tants also were hurt, and six persons
We're arrested, charged with disor-
derby conduct.
The meeting had been widely ad-
vertised as a. protest against the
and theEE,iosoe etaoin shrdu cmfm
American government, capitalists
and the conviction of Sacco and Van
zetti. The speakers bitterly de-
nounced the United States govern
ment and American capitalists.
Ten thousand persons crowded into
Waggam hall, and when the capacity
of the hall was reached there was
large overflow of bellicose demon
strators outside. It had been an
nounced as the intention of the lead
ers of the demopstration to head the
throng on a. march, to the American
embassy; There was no attempt to
do this, however.
Three platoons Of mounted repub-
lican guards and hundreds of police,
ready for riot duty. patrolled the vi
cinity of Waggam hall, which is near
the Arc de Triomphe, while addi-
tional forces were held in reserve at
various points to handle the crowd
when the meeting was over and to
prevent any demonstration or a
march in the direction of the EN-
bassy. around which a guard also
was posted.
While the proceedings inside the
hall We're without incident, except
for fiery speeches. the crowd outside
resented the efforts Of the police to
keep them on the move. AS the DO
lie were carrying out their orders
three shots were fired from the
crowd at the mounted men. one OF
whom fell. The man who had fired
the shot that brought down the
trooper was Immediately cut down
by the saber of another mounted
man. The police then closed the hall
and would not permit any one to en-
ter or leave it.
While the speeches were being
made, the audience openly called
upon the leaders to march to the
embassy but the speakers themselves
made no reference to such a move.

THINK 1T OVER

Putting the government further
into the banking business by increas-
ing the postal saving rate from to
5 per cent, simply draws more money
away from private banking institu-
tions, reduces taxable wealth another
notch, discourages the growth and
development of banking institutions,
with resultant future loss in legiti-
mate tax revenue.
Money going into postal savings
banks go into tax exempt institu-
tions thus loading the taxes lost in
this manner on to remaining tax
paying property.
Whenever the government goes into
business the public has an increased
tax burden to carry. 1t is the pub
lie which pays heaviest in the long
run, not the institution which gov
ernment competition cripples. Think
it over.

A nation of intelligent, prosperous

The Bozeman courier., 1921-12-14

While discussing taxation questions
it would be we'll to remember that a
change in cur laws making taxable
new issues of city, county, state and
government bonds would automatical-
ly put billions of future wealth on
the tax rolls which now and in the
future will escape all forms Of taxa
tion under our present laws.
Further, unless this change is
made, capital will steadily be with
.drawn from productive enterprise;
double and treble taxation will be
heaped on property and industry to
make up loss of revenue from capital
invested in these non-prOductive, tax
exempt securities.

''In repairing the older trees bro
ken and split branches should be
placed in position if as much as one
fourth of the sap wood and outer
bark is still intact. The more firm
ly this wood can be placed and fas-
tened the quicker it will grow and
heal. If the branches had been bro
ken and are attached, but with but
little wood or bark and that has been
bent in acute angle, it is doubtful if
such branches can be profitably saved.
1t will be better to remove them at
cnce. Cut the limbs back to a clean
oross-cut and depend upon water
sprouts to renew the tree tops.
"a chisel can often be used to cut
away splinters and parts that pre-
vent drawing the split branches or
parts back into close contact. Where
large openings are formed in cutting
away such material it viii be ad-
visable to use a mixture of cement
and fine sand in the proportion of
one of cement to four of sand. Fill
all the spaces but do not so use it as
to prevent the sap wood and bark of
the split parts coming together.
''The split branches may be very
profitably disinfected with a lime
sulphur spray solution in concentrat-
ed form as purchased. For stumps
, of limbs and exposed areas of wood
the best disinfecting paint is made by
mixing coal tar and creosote, about
two parts creosote to one of coal tar.
A brush should be used in applying
this, spreading over any greater areas
that the fresh wood exposed. 1t will
kill all the edges of the bark with
which it comes in contact.
'In many cases split branches will
be assisted in healing if they are

from decaying vegetation. A dress

over the outside with burlap of gun

a small nail into the tree and hook.
ing the burlap over this, wrapping
until the wrap is finished, then fas
tening at the top with another small
nail. Any binding like cord or wire
if used to tie this material would al
most certainly prove harmful to tht

back the trees that have fallen over
