QUEST|0NERS FAIL

Banker Takes Stand Again
for CroSs-Examination in
Divorce Suit.
BY the Associa ted Press,

Dy inc ASSOCldteQ tfebS.
POUGHKEEPSIE. N. Y. June 30
Cross-examination of James A. Stillman.
wealthy New York banker, was resumed
today in the divorce suit he instituted
against tho former Fiji Potter.
The plaintiff abandoned his attempts
unsuccessful yesterday, although he en-
tered and departed from the building
through a cellar trapdoor. This morn
ing he alighted from a taxicab at the
front entrance Of the building in which
the case is being tried, and. with his at
torneys, walked swiftly through the
door.
Mrs Stillman was already inside. con-
ferring with her attorneys. 1t was re-
ported that they would switch their
quizzing Of Mr.. Stillman to his relations
with his wife, as he refused yesterday
to answer any questions regarding his
conduct with other women on the ground
that it might tend to incriminate him.
Today, it was said, John +. Mack, guar
dian ad litem for Guy Stillman. would
question the banker along lines bearing
on the paternity of the child. whom Mr..
Stillman branded as illegitimate.
Replies Only Once.
Mr.. 'Stillman gave but one reply
yesterday to a multitude of questions
asked by Mrs. Stillman's attorneys in
regard to his relations with other
women, and that reply was:
II refuse to answer, on the ground
that it might tend to incriminate me-.
With these words, often repeated
during his three hours in the witness
chair, Mr.. Stillman was reported to
have cast aside inquiries as to wheth-
er he knew Mrs. Florence H. Leeds,
former Broadway chorus girl; whether
he was the father of her infant son.
Jay Ward Leeds; whether he sup
ported Mrs. Leeds in luxury; whether
he had formed trust fund for her
child; whether they had been together
on his yacht Modesty and at love
nest" owned by him near Miami. Fla.
Refuses to Identify Photograph.
In similar manner, he declined. it
was said, to say whether he knew
Helen" or Clara" two other
women named by Mrs. Stillman in
her amended answer to his divorce
complaint. With the same words
Mr. Stillman even refused to Identify
his own photograph and signature.
James A. Stillman," written upon
an application for a license to op-
crate an automobile.
The banker sat within eight feet
of his wife, one of them occupying
chair on each side of Referee

changed glances, it was said.
Mr.. Stillman perspired freely
throughout his cross examination, and
his face and brow were beaded with
moisture when he left the building.

no mood for extended debate, many

ing. and began to chant, vote, vote,

when Representative Mondell. repub-
lican leader. had the clerk read the
letter he had re)ceivedfrom President

clared it was wholly desirable" to
have the expression of a favorable

lating to world disarmament. The

would not restrict participants in the
Japan and the United States. nor
discussion solely to reduction of naval
armaments.
Fears Tie-Up in Senate.
After referring to the Borah amend
ment as marrow and restrictive" MIR.
Mondell declared that inasmuch as the
bill would go back on the last day of
the fiscal year to the Senate, where
one persistent and insistent gentle
man can block the wheels Of legisla-
tion." he doubted whether it would
be wise to ''haggle over the exact
wording of the amendment"
1T is the duty of Congress to pass
the bill so the Navy can function"
said Mr.. Mondell. '.and 1 for one am
willing to surrender my views SO
there will be no tie-up."
The republican leader asserted that
the Borah proposal did not adequately
express the desire of the American
people for negotiations and efforts for
disarmament" Declaring it applied
only to naval establishments. Mr.. Mon
deli exclaimed, God knows it is even
more important to halt the march of
