GAVE HIS WIFE A RUBY AT BIRTH
OF GUY-GAVE HER DIAMOND
BRACELET CHRISTMAS.
ADMITS MAKING GIFTS
Declines to Answer Questions About
Mrs. Leeds or child-Fears Grim
nal Action-Criminal Charges
Are Likely.

Poughkeepsie, N. Y.-Continual re-
fusal by James A. Stillman to answer
questions regarding his relations with
Florence H. Leeds, former Broadway
show girl, marked his second appear
ance' for cross examination in the di-
vorce suit he brought against the for
mer Fiji Potter.
He brushed aside all such inquiries
on the ground that to answer them
might tend to incriminate him. 1t was
was said that he again declined to say
whether he knew Mrs. Leeds, wheth-
er he was the father of her son, Jay
Leeds, born in September, 1918, or the
father of still-born male infant to
which she gave birth in November,
1919.
Repeating that the answer might
tend to incriminate him, Mr.. Still
man would not say whether he was
present when this second child came
into the world or when it was buried.
On the same grounds he would not
identify a photograph which counsel
for Mrs. Stillman claimed was that of
Mrs. Leeds.
There were prolonged arguments be-
tween opposing attorneys brought
about by the bankers stubborn resist
ance to questions, and it was said one
of Mr.. Stillman's lawyers proposed to
advise him to answer IL assured that
no criminal action would follow.
To his proposal 1t was reported that
John z. Mack, guardian ad litem for
the infant Guy Stillman, whose legiti-
macy was questioned by the banker,
would not agree. He made 1t clear, it
was said, that IL he could gather suffi-
cient evidence he would bring crimi-
nal charges against the banker at the
conclusion of the divorce case.
During his cross-examination Mr..
Stillman admitted that he gave Mrs.
Stillman ruby ring valued at several
thousand dollars just one week after
the birth of Guy Stillman. in Novem-
Der, 1918.
At Christmas, that year. he testified,
he presented his wife with diamond
bracelet, it was said.

GOVERNMENT AGREES TO HE
NEW OFFER MADE RECENT
LY OF A SUBSIDY.
FORMER OFFER ACCEPTED
New Wage Basis Will Come Into Ek
feet For Next Eighteen Months.
Both Sides Represented-2o
Per Cent Increase.

London-The prolonged stoppage in
the coal industry has ended by a set
tlement reached when the government
agreed to renew its offer of subsidy
of ten million pounds sterling to avert
the hardships of the next three months
because of the necessary wage reduc-
tions, thereby conceding the one con-
dition required by the miners in the
settlement between the miners and
mine owners. BY the terms of the new
arrangement a wage basis will come
into effect for the next 18 months
whereby the miners receive 20 per
cent above the pre-war scale of wages,
with an additional share of profits on
an agreed percentage basis which will
be regulated by the creation Of ma
tional board and district boards.
Parliament's sanction to the subven-
tion is certain and little doubt is en-
tertained that the miners will accept
the advice of their executive and re-
sumo work forthwith.
The settlement is only slight modi-
fication of the terms the miners re-
jected by their last ballot, and COW
ers the period up to September 80,
1922, but either side must give three
months notice of desire to terminate
the agreement, during which time the
new wages will prevail.
A national board, with district
boards, will be created representing
equally the miners and mine owners,
to regulate the rather complex sys-
TEN of profit sharing, under which SO
per cent of the proceeds, after the pay
ment Of standard charges, will go to
the miners in the shape OF wages and
the remaining IL per cent to owners.
