Poughkeepsie. n. Y. April 1.-The

charges they have brought against
each other, Justice Morschauser de-,
clared here today.
The statement was made in a ruling

StiIlman to Appeal.
New York, April 1.-Attorneys for
James A. Stillman will appeal from
the alimony ruling of Justice Nor
schauser, rendered today, they an
after q ff7raa-hafIP study n
the judges ruling.
The grounds viii be that the ali
mony and counsel fees granted Mrs.
Stillman are excessive and that the
letters which Morschauser held to be
inadmissible had a bearing on the
question of alimony.
Refusal of the opposing counsel in
the suit to make public certain letters
ana afffdavits introduced in evidence
following the ruling of. Justice Nor
schauser strengthened the growing be-
lief that the case will be dropped in
this state.
Letters Are Demanded.
Announcement of the decision to ap-
peal was made by Delaney NfcolI
after studying the decision with his
associate in the case, Cornelius j. Sui
livan.
The attorneys will. argue, they said,
That the letters held to be inadmiss-
ible were sufficient to show their case
against Mrs. Stillman and to prove
that they would have little chance of
defending the seit. If she had no de-
fense, they said, she is not entitled to
alimony.
The appeal will act as stay in the
proceedings. Whether Mrs. Stillman
will continue to receive the $1,000
alimony now being paid her will de-
pend uDou her counsel tho laUyers

FIGHT FOR HIS SALARY
Hiawatha Court Reporter Must Gs
Thru Supreme Court Again.

'Hiawatha Court Reporter Must Go
Thru Supreme Court Again
Paul B. Bailey. court reporter of
Hiawatha, must again fight thru the
Kansas supreme court in order to get
his salary. This was made certain to-
day when State Auditor N. A. Turner
refused to approve his pay voucher,
and when S. NJ. Brewster. attorney for
Bailey, filed mandamus proceedings in
the supreme court to compel Turner
to approve the voucher.
Bailey is nephew of Judge W. 1.
Stewart, of Hiawatha, judge of the
Twenty-second judicial district, and
the recent legislature passed law for
any persons related to them by blood
ties. This action was taken by the
legislature when senate bill No. 8. fix
ing the qualifications and salaries of
court reporters, was passed.
Two years ago the legislature, fol-
lowing complaint from several Sec
tions of the state, attempted to pro-
hibit judges employing relatives as
court reporters. A rider was placed
on the judicial appropriation bill for
bidding this practice, and Bailey i'm
mediately brought suit in the supreme
court against State Auditor Knapp to
compel him to approve the Bailey
voucher.
This suit was won by Bailey, the
surpeme court deciding that the law
was unconstitutional as an attempt
was made to make the appropriation
measure cover two subjects when the
section relating to the qualification OF
reporters was included.
However, the demand that the prac-
tice be stopped continued and the
1921 legislature again took up the pro-
visions that had been knocked out of
the old bill and inserted them in the
new court reporter BILL

Iato Effect This Morning.
MOORE CALLS II LOCKOUT
Estimated Fifty Men Leave
Their Positions by Request.
Contractors to Hire Non-Union
+ Men to Take Their Places.

Men employed on some half dozen
building jobs in Topeka were this
morning informed by the contractors
on the jobs that the Master Builders
association had meant exactly what it
said in its .'ultimatum," and that the
three Topeka contracting firms listed
must be taken off the unfair list or
the men could quit their jobs.
Men Quit work at Noon.
q The men elected to quit, it was
stated by T. w. Williamson. at noon
today. Some of them, knowing what
was coming, did not come to work
this morning. Others quit at noon,
and looks as if there will be none of
them working after 5 o'clock tonight, !"
Williamson said.
The contractors are going ahead
with their work, and will hire non
union men to take the places of the
men who are not working today. Will
Hanson said.
No Change I'm Policy.
4 M. e. Moore. president of the build
ing trades council, said shortly after
noon today that the action of the con-
tractors was news to him, but that IL
was what had been expected, and that
there would be no change in the policy
OF the council as a result of the action.
"At any rate, we won't work with
non-unioT1 men on the jobs Moore
said in discussing the situation. 'tOur
policy will be, as 1t always has been,
to stick together"
Moore objected to the designation
of the action of the union men as a
strike. sIf they are paid off and let
go, that's a lockout, not strike, isn't
it," he said.
Fifty Men Affected.
About fifty union men are affected
by the condition which arose today
it Is estimated. Some of the jobs on
zshich they were employed were the
Warren NJ. Crosby store building and
the Odd Fellows building. F. NJ. Spen-
Ger & Sons. contractors; the city
waterworts building, J. NJ. Leeper
Tccfitractor; and Jobs for which N 3

'tfetors ;T'~-,- :, -'---' -.
WiIliamson said that the contractors
meant to go ahead on their jobs and
finish the work with either non-union
or union labofers, which ever applied
for work.
When asked how union men, who
were to have been discharged on the
''ultimatum" of the. contractors, could
get work, he said that they would
probably be expelled from the unions
il they went to work on the job with
non-union men. Moore declined to
make statement as to. whether this
view was correct. n

In Official quarters in Dublin this

Nominaily the force is composed OF
