Mrs. Stillman's Lawyers Also
Will Attack Testimony of
DIR. Russell.

Attorneys for Mrs. Anne Stillman will
ask that practically all the testimony of
DR.. Hugh l.. Russell. the Buffalo osteo-
path, be stricken from the record when
the hearings in the James 4. Stillman
divorce suit are resumed in P":.:lltkeep-
sic next Tuesday before .Sesercs Daniel
:. 0;rsson. They win move also that
two of the letters alleged to have been
written by Fred X. Beauvais. named by
the !7rnler banker as correspondent, be
thrown out The second of these letters,
listed as Exhibit b. was admitted last
Thursday on the identification of Miss
Mary Kelly, a maid formerly employed
in the rtiliman home in Pleasantville.
n. Y.
1t had been reported that the former
banker is ABOUT TO make new peace
offers to Mrs. Stillman. but up to early
this morning neither she nor her "a.tor-
neys had received any word concerning
them. Her attorneys were In confer
ence during the greater part of the
day in the Office of John T. Brennan,
chief counsel. in Yonkers. 1t is under
stood the proposals which Stillman is
preparing to make included an admis-
sion Of the parentage of Guy Stillmah
and do not suggest that Mrs. Stillman
go abroad. 1t was the suggestion that
Mrs. Stlllman go to France to live
that caused the abandonment of the
peace negotiations last month.
The decision to make n series Of mo-
tions Tuesday when the hearings are
resumed was decided on at the Yonkers
conference. The first of these will be
on the testimony of DR. Russell and
will be in addition to the one on the
alleged admission of parentage made
Friday at the close of the hearings
Mrs. Stillman's attorneys will claim the

nard Kelly former superintendent of
the Pleasantville estate. on whose iden-
! tiflcaton it was admitted.
Exhibit c. which also is known as
the Rolled Oats and Bacon letters. will
be attacked as valueless since Miss
Kelly who identified it, admitted she
found 1t lying open on Mrs. Stillman's
bureau and that the door of the room
was open.
Neither of the letters was admitted

S17,76S,516 VOTED TO
PATCH UP SCHOOLS
Delated Effort Made to Hide
Neglect of the Hylan Ad-
ministratiOn.

Recent disclosures by civic organiza-
tions of the dilapidat ted condition of
forty public schools resulted yesterday
in hurried efforts by the Hylan admin
istration to cover the traces of It's
neglect. The finance and budget COM
mittee OF the Board of Estimate recon-
mended an appropriation of s17.763,316
toward wiping out the deficit of $21,
100000 in school funds in this years
budget. Yesterdays appropriation con-
sisted of $S,000.000 in special revenue
bonds, which the taxpayers will have to
redeem next year; $2.53S,316 from surplus
appropriation for the redemption of tax
notes. and $7,225,000 by loan against
anticipated payment of school money
from the State.
Although the Mayor has been con-
tending in public statements ever since
the charge. of lack Of repair Of buildings
was made that his administration this
year has exceeded all past performances
In the matter Of appropriation for repair
1t was disclosed yesterday that the
Board of Education has just appropr-
ated $1.4OO.O0O for repairs out of the
$2,SO0,O00 allowed at the first of tn,
year That makes it appear that the
Mayors record appropriation has been
on paper only so far and the chances
are that the other half of it will not be
made available because of the hug.
deficit which the finance and budget
committee undertook to meet partially.
Although yesterdays work of the
finance and budget committee leaves
something more than $4,000. 900 for
schools yet to be found, the MAYOR ap.
peared well pleased and sighed:
