LOYAL TO HER
".Bud" Enraged by Attacks on
Mothers Honor in Bankers
Suit for Divorce.

POUGHKEEPSIE, March e.
|-Seventeen-year-old James Still
man, known a. "Bud" to his init
mates, almost came to blows with his
father when he learned Of the
charges and plans of the bankers
divorce suit.
ROUsED BY ATTACK.
bud" Is q fine. sturdy chap. whose
sandy head Is set squarely upon good,
broad shoulders. The thing which
reused him against his father was the
attack on the legitimacy of twenty
eight months old Guy s. Stillman.
Buds" Indignation was famed to
fever heat when he realized that his
father would name as correspondent
guide. Beauvais had been Buds" in
structor in woodcraft They were
great pals-
bud" demanded that the suit be
dropped and the allegations against
his mother and brother be denied.
He was supported in this stand by
! his sister. Miss Anne Stillman. but
she only pleaded while her impetuous
brother stormed.
These and other details OF the
cataclysm that occurred in the Still
man home when Stillman, less
than a year ago. suddenly left his
family with the intention of begin
ming divorce proceedings, were re-
vealed yesterday by a person Of high
/, standing In the confidence of the
Stillman family.
There Is no doubt Of the authen-
ticity Of the information.
CASE "CUT AND DRIED"
1t is family situation that Is pc
culiarly appealing at the present
time. The cases legal aspect right
| now II rather cut-and-dried.
John F. Brennan, counsel OF record
for Mrs. Stiilman, appeared before Su-
prcme Court Justice Morschauser in
White Plains yesterday and told the
clerk that counsel for both sides had
agreed to an indefinite postponement.
The motions involved in this ac-
ton were one requiring Stillman to
show cause why he should not be
examined As to his financial condition,
and another for $4,000 . month ALI
and 81, 1000 counsel fees
The Justice assented to the post
ponement That was all there was to
the court end OF what Is now shown
as q bitter family dispute.
But II corroborated in no small de-
gree the intimations already made
that tho counter-divorce suits OF the
Stillmans never will 90 to q fnal
decision.
Every evidence Is that counsel for
Mrs. Stillman will continue court ac-
tion until counsel fees are fixed. and
that then a settlement will be had
put OF court.
RECONCILIATION HOPELESS.
There doesn't appear to bc the
slightest prospect Of a reconciliation,
but the chance OF the mutual suits
even being tried appears to be equal
ly slight.
That for the dry court end Of It.
The family situation. however. Is not
only intensely interesting. but tragic
Tho father, IT was learned yester-
day. did not express any suspicious

COLLEGE HESITATION
Representative Medil Presents
Bills

Representative Medill introduced in
the House bill to change the name OF
Delaware College to University OF
Delaware" DR.. Walter Hullihen,
President of Delaware College, is a
strong advocate Of the proposed
change. He has pointed out that it is
now in everything but name a uni
versity, as there are a group OF col
leges at Newark under one head, such
as the Women's College, engineering
department, arts and science, agricul-
tural department, extension depart
ment. summer school, etc. The
change would in no way affect appro-
priations and would not make the in
stitution more expensive to operate,
but would probably give it better
standing in the college world.
Representative Medill also intro
duced bills providing for the appro-
priations for Delaware College for the
next two years.
The appropriations asked for would
total $425,886. IA, and in addition, the
Legislature is asked to authorize the
issuing of bonds to the amount OF
$4,000, to provide new buildings at
the Women's College and at the col
lege farm
The items in the appropriation bill

preparations, $l5,4O7.60,. for the two
