GRANT Fiji STILLMAN
$500 PER MONTH
ALIMONY IN DECISION

POUGHKEEPSIE. N Y. April l.
Temporary alimony of $500 a month,
counsel fees of $4,000, and s12,5O0
for expenses were fixed today for
Mrs. Anne U. Stillman by Supreme
Court Justice Joseph Morschauser in
the suit for divorce instituted against
her by James A. Stillman, president
of the National City Bank of New
York.
Mrs. Stillman had asked alimony of
$4,000 a month and $4,000 counsel
fees Justic Morschauser made pub
lie his decision after he had trans
mitted it to the court clerk at White
Plains, along with affidavits and
pleadings presented in the case.
The decision set forth that Mrs.
Stillman had pleaded recriminations
in her answer to the bankers com
plant, and that both husband and
wife made cha rges founded upon an
allegation of misconduct"
Bars Communication
"a husband or wife is not compe-
tent to testify against the other on
such allegations" the decision said
The justice decided that the affidavits
to which letters were appended con-
tanned matters that Mr.. Stillman
could not testify to, and it was upon
this ground that the communications
were barred.
Justice Morschauser pointed out
that his inhibition against admitting
the alleged messages from Beauvais
to Mrs. Stillman applied only to the
motion under consideration, and that
they might be offered again in con-
nection with later motions.
Referring to the alleged letter writ
ten to Mr.. Stillman by his wife to the
admission of which her attorneys OBJ.
jected and which it was charged by
counsel for the banker she wrote lin
a moment of hysteria, duplicating her
self" the decision said.
communications and transactions
between husband and wife were early
recognized as privileged and neither
could be compelled to disclose what
took place between them and neither
was a competent witness to testify as
to such transactions or communica
tons Of a confidential natureA or in
duced by the marital relations.
From experience it was found that
| far less evil would result from the ex
| clusion Of such testimony than from
its admission. It may in individual
cases work hardship, but the destruc
ton Of confidence between husband
and wife would cause much misery
and affect the marriage relation
This rule is founded upon sound pub
lie policy"

Bridge BUILDER HERE

Eli H. Harris, for many years a
resident of Moscow, but now living
on farm on Little Bear Ridge which
he bought some eight years ago, is
in the city today visiting at the home
of his daughter, Mrs. Lawrence Huff,
of Huff's Cafe. Mr.. Harris is 72
years of age, but appears much
younger, and works on his farm like
young man. He is real pioneer,
having come to what is now Latah
county before there was any Moscow
Mr.. Harris's occupation, until he
moved to his farm, was that OF
bridge builder, and it is safe to say
bridges built is exceeded by few He
informed Star-Mirror representative
this morning that he had built 60
wooden truss bridges in Latah coun-
ty In bidding on work he says he
figured only fair values for his work
and seldom failed to land contract.
Mr.. Harris says it is surprising the
number of modern farm houses and
good barns that have been built on
Little Bear ridge in the past few years.
Where there were but a few scatter
ed settlers cabins not many years ago
there is now to be found modern and
attractive homes, which speak well
for the productiveness of the district
and the progressiveness and thrift of
the farmers.

declaring, however, that as to de-

aiament
It was announced that a full meet

ment, was presented to the naval sub
committee of Is today by Albert Sur
raut, head of the French delegation.
1t is understood that the French plan
as presented proposed a fleet pro-
portion in several classes of craft so
as to give France navy that could
be devoted largely to defensive pur-
poses.

SCHOOL TOURNEY
BY STATE ASSOCIATION

Instead of being held under the di-
rectiOn of the University of Idaho
athletic department, as in the past,
the all-state high school basket ball
tourney will this year be held under
the auspices of the Idaho State Inter
scholastic Association, according
to an announcement issued by
Thomas Kelley, director Of athletics.
Idaho's recent admittance to the Pa
cific Coast conference prevents high
school meets at the university under
the auspices Of the athletic depart
ment.
Director Kelley said that in view
of this condition the university would
in all probability rent the gymnasium
to the interscholastic association for
the tournament
Each district shall, according to the
association rules, have it's sectional
tournament during the last week In
February The final meet to decide
winner from the eight divisional vic
tors will be held at the university two,
weeks later.
The state will this year be divided
into eight districts and the champion
of each will make the trip to Moscow
to compete in the all-state tourna-
ment.

CHRISTMAS TRADE
PLEASES DEALERS
SALES EQUAL TO YEAR AGO
MOSCOW PEOPLE PREPARING
FOR JOYOUS CHRISTMAS.

This week Christmas stocks in Mos
COW stores are melting away before
the Christmas shoppers. like snow be-
fore a Palouse chineek, and by Satur-
day it is believed that what Is con-
sidered strictly Christmas articles,
will have practically disappeared
from the tables and show windows.
The dealers in almost every line re-
port a Christmas trade in excess of
their anticipations One merchant,
who is featuring a large stock of
Christmas goods informed The Star
Christmas goods sold at his store this
Christmas would exceed that of last
year, even though prices are ma
terially lower.
People from outside towns know
of the complete Christmas stocks
which Moscow merchants are carry
ing and much trade is coming from a
distance.
Hundreds of Christmas trees are
being brought in Moscow from the
nearby mountains and are being COB
bled up rapidly, indicating that there
will be few homes in Moscow, where
there are children, that will be with
out the beautifully decorated, gift
laden Christmas tree.
The cold weather and the snow,
which is sufficient to cover the
ground, all add to the Christmas
spirit and have their effect on the
Christmas buying.
