reply today to a multitude of ques-
tions asked by her attorneys in re-
gard to his relations with other
women and that reply was: II re-
fuse to answer on the ground that 1t
might tend to incriminate me-"
With these words, often repeated
during his three hours in the witness

have cast aside inquiries as to wheth-
er he knew Mrs. Florence n. Leeds
FORMER Broadway chorus girl. wheth-
er he was the father of her infant

ported Mrs. Leeds, in luxury: whether
he had formed a trust fund for her

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 com
plant. With the same words. Mr.
Stillman even refused to identify his
own photograph and signature

who christened the "Modesty" or
whether he had aboard it a gold
cocktail shaker and two gold glasses
which the defense charged were pre-
sents from Mrs. Leeds
Another question which he refused
to answer on the ground that ut
might tend to incriminate him was:
While your family. was at Atlantic
City at one hotel did you maintain an
apartment with another woman. at

MARKET )
PLANS CALLED JUNK

Washington. Sept. "A marketing
organization absolutely free from pol
i!tics is the greatest need of the Amer
lean farmer, Representative Sydney
Anderson, Minnesota, chairman of the
joint congressional commission OF
agricultural inquiry, declared today.
A cooperative marketing orsaniza-
ton would increase quality, quantity
and prices of farm products, he said,
in charactertzing AS bunk" attempts
to get these results by political action
TOO many organisations are build
ed along the lines Of political action
and. instead of endeavoring to work
out their W problems occupy their
time largely in passing resolutions
and making recommendations to con-
grees," Mr.. Anderson said. They're
past masters Of passing the buck.
Frankly, congress is passing that sort
of. buck back to them"
Anderson was equally frank con-
corning organizations which attempt
to bring about an agricultural millen-
ganization, he said, ends in an in
evttable nnashup. ~
Three outstanding benefits that
would result from a marketing organ
iZation, cited by Anderson are:
First-The cost degrading products
to make them marketable would--be
eliminated.
Second-Additional influence over
the price, of his commodity would
enable the farmer to compare with
the great buying power Of organized
industry.
Third-Better distribution enabling
the farmer to deliver. his product at
the time and at the place when and
where~ft is needed.
"The first thing to do is to- make
a thorough study Of the production
end: that Is. get an efficient unit OF
production and then relate that unit
as definitely as possible to a market
