Now that the position of state highway
commissioner has been definitely settled
by the appointment of Prof Thurman W.
Dix of the University of Vermont to the
job formerly held by Stoddard Bates.
definite move has been started to bring
about the appointment of Charles j. Dube
of this town to succeed David T. Perry
as district highway supervisor.
Mr.. Dubes friends-and they include
people in Montpelier as well as in Brat
tleboro and other towns of this county
contend that he could administer the
duties of district SUPERVISOR and town
road commissioner without being obliged
to slight either job; that the arrangement
would prove to be a decided financial saw
ing to the town, and that there would be
distinct advantage in having the town
and county highway work ''co-ordinated"
as it could be if one competent man had
supervision of it.
Persons who have been in Montpelier
. this week in connection with the highway
Snarl are authority for the statement that
there is no possibility that Mr.. Perry will
be retained in the position he has held
/ for the past several years. In fact, they
say he was given to understand that much
a week or more ago. Whether or not that
: Is so. Mr.. Perry was not present Thursday
at a conference with the new highway

every other district supervisor in the state.

STLLMAN LIKELY
TO DROP DIVORCE
Rum0red That Both Sides Are Ready ta
Discontinue Case-Paternity of
Child TO BE Solved.

NEW YORK. March 26.-The action
for absolute divorce brought by James a.
Stillman, president of the National City
bank, against Mrs. Anne Urquhart Still
man, may be dropped, it was learned from
a well-infOrmed source yesterday, but the
proceedings to determine the legitimacy
of Guy Stillman, Youngest son OF MIS-
Stillman, will be continued.
This forecast of the course the Still
man case is likely to take in the next flve
or six weeks was obtained from persons
in close touch with both sides OF the con-
trovcrsy The probable sequence OF events
expected to lead to this result was sad
to be as follows:
The decision of Supreme Court Justice
Norschauser of Poughkeepsie, in the ali
mony motion. which Is expected next
week, will open the way for the resulnp-
siOn of hearings in the divorce action be-
fore Referee Daniel ]. Gleason. After one
or two hearings, it was said, there would
either be an agreement to drop the divorce
Dart of the action or the referee might
repOrt to the court that in his Judgment
the evidence. az shown by testimony and
affidavits was such that neither party was
entitled to a divorce.
If the court should approve this recon-
mCndation. it was said. the question Of
the parentage of Guy Stillman would re-
main to be determined judiclally. This
has been recognized all along as being the
main point of contention in the case,
and was said by De Lancey Nicoll, attor-
ney for Mr. Stillman. to have been the
motive which inspired the latter to bring
the divorce action. 1t was reported that
lawyers on both sides were agreed that
the separation of the divorce and iileglt-
imacy issues was legally possible.
The effect of the abandonment of the
divorce issue. it was said. would be to pro
tect Mrs. Florence ii. Leeds. whom Mrs
Stillman named in her answering athuayit
as having been intimate with her husband
In fact. it was said. Mrs. sStillman's en-
tire affirmative defense charging Mr..
Stillman with misconduct of the same ma
ture as that with which he charged her,
would become irrelevant.
This would be welcome to Mr.. Stillman
it was said. but the defense would find a
compensating advantage in the fact that
Nlegitimacy under the law is one of the
most difficult charges to prove. The pre-
sumption of Legitimacy rests with the
child. and proof of the contrary. it was
said, must be beyond a doubt. far beyond
the degree of reasonable doubt as Is
customary.

ney ROwley of Franklin. he ordered an in
quest.
More than 20 persons were examined

humed and an autopsy performed late in
December. The report of the autopsy has
never been made public. and the arrest
of Garrow yesterday, on an Indictment re-
turned secretly by the grand jury. was
the first public intimation of the nature
Of the report.
NJ. II. Alexander. the newly elected
states attorney, said today that the case
probably would be tried at the present
term of the Franklin county court.
To the sheriff who made the arrest Gar
row declared he was not responsible for
his wife's death and did not know of ii
until he had returned from the village
that day and was informed by the hired
girl.
Garrow is also said to have told the
sheriff that a man, whom he named. had
become angry because Mrs. Garrow had
stopped his attention to her 1S-year-old
daughter.
