One of the most interesting phases OF
the Stillman affair came to light yester-
Gay. There has been one and only one
hearing in the matter thus far. 1t was
held before Daniel j. Gleason. Surrogate

And another current mystery was ex-

now seems that last year when Mrs.

they will decide just what they will have
to do under the new laws and plans will
be formulated for taking over the en-

Lenine Last November
Had Vision of Failure

TN an interview accorded cor
respondent of The New York
Herald at Riga, November 2,
1000, Nikolai Lenine expressed
this view of the Russian situa-
ton:
Unfortunately, the prole-
tariat outside Russia does
not realize the desperate
necessity that exists for
swift action on their part.
If a general rising Of the
workers takes place outside
Russia the world will be
saved. If it does not take
place soon this great expert
ment in Russia may fail and
the inevitable triumph of
the toilers be postponed for
fifty years. But | am in
hopes that the utter eco
nomic breakdown which ]
expect to take place through
out Europe during the COM
ing winter will bring mat
tiers to head.

Washington, ID. c., March 20. !
A woman who was allowed forty
Ave minutes to argue before nine men
but who broke all traditions OF bel
sex by talking for only five, appeared
in the United States Supreme Court
to-day.
She is Mrs. Annette Abbot Adams,
Assistant Attorney General, now in
charge Of prohibition cases in the high
court The surprising incident OF her
appearance before the court to-day
was that she used only the five min
utes III reputation of the forty five
minute argument by a man on such
an important question as tho validity
of the Eighteenth Amendment.
She listened closely to the long ar
gument Of Levi Cooke. attorney for
the liquor interests, who sought to
convince the court that the Eight
eenth Amendment is invalid because
Congress, at the suggestion of Presi-
dent htardlng, Wnile senator. placed
a limitation Of seven years upon the
time in which the States might ratify
constitutional prohibition. This, It was
asserted, is in violation of the plan
provided in the Constitution for the
submission of amendments and there
fore voids the entire prohibition
amendment
Then the Governments "Portia"
stepped before the court. she smiled
confidently at the nine Justices. She
wore a simple black dress with a rather
flvffy lace collar. Mrs. Adams Is a
yather tail. stately woman, with
dignified appearance. She does not be-
lisve in following the fads OF some Of
her sex who have entered so-called mas
