 New York City. March 2s-Ffction and fact have a curious relationship. Many say fact is the stranger of the two.
 In contrast to the quoted fiction, compare the glaring facts in the Stllman case. -.
 Banker StilIman questions the pa ternity of Baby Guy Stillman; he says that another than he is the child's father.
 Who or what will decide whether or not Stillnan is the father of the child he repudiates?
 Dr. Albert Abrams, of San Fran cisco, declares that by m cans of blood
 Blood tests, it has been Suggested. tests he can absolutely determine the percentage of a child. His findings in the case of Paul Vittori, who refused to support child he said was not his own, were accepted as legal proof that the reluctant parent was indeed the real father.
 As result Of the conclusions of pr. Abrams, Vittori was ordered by the court to accept the hild,aVirginia.S as his own, and support her.
 How does James A. Stillman ex- pect to prove that he is not the father of little Guy?-
 How does any man ever expect to prove this?
 He can only take his wife's word for it that he is the father of her children and believe in her. This faith in her virtue is his only satis- flying proof.
 What New York Scientists Say.
 Scientists in this city scoff at the idea of any one proving percentage by blood tests. The laboratory of New York Hospital has issued a statement that such tests would be futile.
 ''We know of no possible means to determine percentage in such fashion. We do not know the details of Dr. Abrams tests and therefore, cannot comment upon them.
 ''Tests of this character show the difference between animals and hu- man beings. They do not show ma tionalEty or individual traits or svibra- tions' insofar as We know.
 Not knowing the nature of pr. Abrams tests. we say that we are 
 Legitimacy was questioned-in an other notorious love tangle-by an other father of another small son is said to resemble the father who denies him.
 Harry Kendall Thaw fin jail for the staying of Stanford White. declared the child born at that time to his wife, Evelyn Nesbit Thaw, was not his. but another's.
 Little Russell Thaw bore a striking likeness to his swarthy. heavy-set father.
 Baby Guy Stil1man is said to have the same sandy hair and features that characterized James A. Sdllman, power in Wall Street.
 Yet this in itself would, so scien- tiests say, not necessarily indicate that the child is the son of the man he resembles.
 How. then, is a man to know his old child?
 Dr. Abrams, of San Francisco, is interested in the Stillman case. He has expressed himself willing to ex- anime specimens of bloood of the various people concerned, of Guy Stillman and his parents now in strife.

AMERICAN FILM INDUSTRY NOT
 ON SLUMP

London, March 26-Al reports of A slump to the contrary, the Amer1- can film industry is expanding, and the financial interests of Wall street are taking a bigger interest than ever in the film producing industry
 Such is the message brought from the States by Carl Laemmle, a British producer. It doubtless is of prefers American films, but it isn't entirely welcome to the ftrade," :" which had seen in the reports of panic in the film world an opening for British ventures.
 ..America is undergoing a period Of reconstruction" he declares. '1The present condition is simply an after math of the war. Prices are coming down and the enormous salaries taken by certain big film stars are coming down in proportion
 '.But the film business is growing apace Picture theatres are multi plying enormously in America The finest sites in the heart of New York are beingmarked down for the cree ton of picture theatres
 Laemmle denies reports spread here that America has displayed an inclination to boycott British films and gives his theory, gained as a re suit of his visit, as to why America maintains her lead. producing the best pictures in the world.
 Tn America there are over 16,oo0 picture theatres. In America the pro d1icer obviously is justified in spend ing and can spend five times the amount on his production because he caters to five times the number of theatres It is obvious that a picture coming from England. and costing about one-ffth the production cost of an American film, shows up badly in comparison with an American fea- ture.'
 LaemmIe predicts an invasion" of American stars into England for the purpose of producing plays of Eng fish setting in English surroundings as more realistic than the carpenters reproductions out Los Angeles way.

MANS BELIEF IN PARENTACE OF
 CHILD RESTS IN FAITH IN WIFE

Yet New York experts deny the ef- dcacy of such tests. Bellevue Hos oital, speaking through Dr. l.. Cotter, of it's laboratory, says: '"The blood tests prove nothing as 70 paternity.
 There is no way for man tell if he is the father of his children ex- cept to trust his wife
 Dr. Otto Schultze, associate profes- sor at Cornell Medical School, one of the most noted blood specialists in the East, forecasts the failure of the attempt of Dr. Abrams to determine anything by blood tests.
 ''It would be mighty valuable dis covery, perhaps, but it is untrue. The theory may be sound, but in practise difference between the blood of humans and the lower animals. We can determine very little between the blood of individuals of the same race or germs
 which it is possible to define at pres ent is that between the blood of an adult and that of a child. It was re- gently able to prove blood samples to have been drawn from child'S veins because the blood contained a pre- ponderance of single-celled white corpusc1es, whereas adult blood con- tains a preponderance of multi-cel1u- lar corpuscIes."
 Stigma Placed Upon Child.
 No matter what denials and proofs are brought to bear upon the pitiful case of little Guy Sti1lman,- innocent of all wrongdoing, the stigma of doubtful legitimacy that is cast upon his name will follow him throughout life-through youth, manhood and to the grave.
 What terrible power is the hint of scandal?
 How far reaching not only evil, but the appearance of evil!
 Whether or not James A. Sti1lman is able to prevent the child Guy from inherhing millions, the boy, with money or without, will also have an inheritance for which he can never forgive the father who spurned him.
 Appearances of evil are often credited with being evil itself. Idle tongues seize upon what looks bad" and often drive the objects of their islander to despair.
 The only cloud that shows no silver lining is the cloud of suspicion.
 So thick a fog of doubt enfolds it's victim that the sun rays never strike through it's rnurkiness.

EXPENSE OF CLINIC NOW
 UP TO CITY

The failure of Congress at it's last session to furnish appropriations for certain branches of public health work in cities has affected the mu- n1c1pal clinics of Bridgeport Here tofore the expenses of maintaining a venereal disease clinic as one of the most important branches the city dlspensary has fallen equally on the shoulders ot the city and tIse United States government The failure of Congress to provide /the governments appropriation causes the entire bur den of expense to fall upon the city,
 thepast this clinic has been free to patients who applid for treatment and there is money enough at the presnt time to maintain the clinic un- til July first, but after that time the ely if i wishes to continue this clinic must maintain it at it's own expense or inauguratc a syste mwhereby pa tients thar are able to pay for treat nlent.

Mrs. Elvira Mace, 314 Dover street. testified that a ma chine was stopped and the occupants refused to give assistance Larkin was unable to starE his Ford machine af- ter the accident, but the mother and father of the victim feel that the acci- dent was unavoidable and that Lar kin did all that he could to avoid it.

RIVAL TO KIPLINC WILD BOY IS
 FOUND

London, March 23-A wild boy re- sembling in some respects K1pllng's character, ''Mowgli,' who was suckled by a she-wolf and grew up to be leader of the pack, has been found in a remote section of India, according to a story told in the Times In this case, however, the boy is reputed to have been kidnapped by a leopard. He has been recaptured and his father is now keeping a sharp eye on him to see that he does not run away to the woods.
 The Times credits the tale to Stew art Baker, who was recently in the Calchar hills oh the Northeast iron tier of India where he was in charge of road-mending. It is customary in that region for the villagers to mend roads instead of paying taxes. MT. Baker asked villager why he did not do his share of road-mending.
 The man replied that he was afraid to leave his village. His wife having died a short time previously, he had no one to take care of his little wild son" who, in his absence, might run into the jungle and get lost. MT. Baker paid the vllager v1s1e and found with him a child about seV- en years of age, with 1nnumeraDle white scars of tiny cuts and scratches all over it's body.
 The chiId's father told him that. five years before, the villagers of Ca Char1 nad kllleO two IeOpdlo SubS. The n1ather leopard had prowled about the jungle bordering on the village. A few days, later the mother of the child left it lying on a cloth while she went away to reap rlce. lh her absence the mother leopard car ried the child off. The villagers searched for it but could find no trace of it.
 Some three years later sportsman killed a. leopard in the jungle He told the villagers that the leopard had two cubs. They searched the jungle and found the two cubs and with them the missing child.
 It ran on all fours quite fast, dodg- ed and hid in bushes with great agu- ity and skill and bit and fought with everyone who tried to lay hold of it. ordinary quickness any village fowl that came it's way.

 We will do our best to help the locked-out members until we can place them in union shops. but just at present we do not consider it necessary to call all union men out.
 "We had no other course open to us but to reject the bosses plan. For a full week we get but $25, for which we have to work 62 F hours, and there is hardly a union man who is working a full week in Bridgeport. If we were to accept the reduction on our present short time week, we would scarcely make more than $9.50 week as we work only three or four days.
 "I called upon each of the five posses this morning. Every enc refus- ed to take the men back, and instead entered the non-union ranks py for feiting their union cards.''

COURTADE'S ACT
 WIDELY DENOUNCED

(continued from Page one.) can take it from me that his refusal anything he had from the mayor, nor any support he expects from the mayors friends. There is no sup port for his position among any of us We know well enough that the mayor in the very beginning declared that the investigators are welcome. and we- are sure, without having had a recent expression from him, thai he is not in sympathy with Cour- tade'S position and that he will take steps to see that the Chamber gets the information that it is after, pro- vided they want him to intervene
 He will naturally feel in such a case that the appeal ought to be made to him. He should not be expected to run, as the saying is, before he is sent, but he should be expected to exert r<s official autho1ty. upon prop CT demand, in the interest of the public, and for the assistance of any body of taxpayers who--are honestly seeking to inquire into the financial management of Bridgeport
 There is throughout the city universal condemnation of the con duct of Courtade- In every quarter people express the opinion that the public accounts of the city are public property and that the suppression of tolerated.
 Secretary Seward B. Price, of the Chamber of Commerce, when noti- fed today of Mayor Wilson's tendency to consider books and accounts of city departments as public property and open to inspection at all times, expressed great pleasure. The inti- mation that Mayor Wilson would or- der Director J. A. Coutrade, of the Department of Public Works, to open his book to the Chambers investi- gators, elicited the reply of Secretary Price that he would certainly peti- ton the Mayor if he could thus in any way expediate the investigation his organization is conducting.
