Indian Guide Accused
Indian Guide Accused

White Plains, N. Y, March 25.-
Legitimacy OF Guy Stillman. q
months old, was attacked and de-
Tended in supreme court here today
in the first real skirmish of the di-
vorce suit brought by James A. Still
man. president OF the National City
bank OF New York. against the for
mer Eff" Potter.
Arguing on motions for $4,000 a
month alimony and $500 counsel
fees, Delaney Nicoll. counsel for
the bank president, openly charged
that the society woman had taken "as
her lover an Indian guide. by whom
she had an infant son."
Counsel for Mrs. Stillman replied
that when the case was tried, she
will prove her denial of all the al
legations of infidelity made by Mr..
Stillman."
Addressing Judge Morschauser,
who presided at the hearing on ali
.mony and cousel fees, Delaney
Nicoll, chief counsel Tor Mr.. Still
man. said:
Evidence already before you
shows that Mrs. Stillman took as her
lover an Indian guide by whom she
had an infant son whom Mr.. Still
man must either acknowledge as
member of his family or repudiate
as illegitimate.
This criminal intimacy began in
1916 and continued through 1919.
Mr.. Stillman feels it his duty to his
fathers memory. to his family and to
his children to press this matter to a
conclusion.
Disliked Court Action.
Had it been possible to do this
otherwise than in court proceedings,
he would have done it. But there
was no other way than to make the
mother and child co-defendants in
suit"
Mr.. Nicoll said he could not un-
derstand the feelings of a father
whose wife yielded to the embraces
of an Indian guide but that he
could understand why he would hesi-
tate to take court action under such
circumstances. J,-
The hearing lasted only about half
an hour. When it was adjourned at
1885 Justice Morchauser reserved
decision on the matter before him for
alimony of $4,000 month and coun-
sci fees Of $4,000 for Mrs. Stillman.
Court Room Packed.
When court opened today so many
spectators crowded into the room
that deputy sheriffs had to be sta
toned at the doors to prevent en-
trance of any more. Many persons

yards-Bomb Outrages
Reported in Other
German Cities.

workers seized the CRY adninistra-
ton buildings in Hamburg today,
then occupied the Bloom and Voss
shipyards, and hoisted the red flag,
says dispatch from Hamburg.
Workers in other shipyards quit

demonstrations, according to the
dispatch.
In Rodewisch the city hall was
virtually destroyed by bomb which
had been concealed in the basement.
The use of dynamite against the city
administration buildings in Auer-
bach, Freiberg and Dresden resulted
in heavy property loss and the
wounding of at least three persons.
Others were slightly injured.
. A 2l-year-old man was arrested in
Auerbach with sack of dynamite.
A companion, who fired at a police
man, escaped. The man arrested said
he was from Danzig.
The outrages are believed to be
connected with the attempt of the
communists to force general
strike.
In Leipsic, Dreden, Rodewisch
and other cities in central Germany
the communists directed their Nef-
forts against, court houses. city halls,
public banks and police headquar-
ters. A bomb exploded in the Leip-
sic, court house and blew off the

Men
Granted Permit
For Making Wine
Action Taken Under Provision
For Manufacture of Non.
beverage Products for
Sacramento Purposes.

Washington, March 25-A permit
to manufacture wine out Of straw
berries for nonbeverage purposes
was issued tonight to the Straw
berry Growers association of Louis
lana by the bureau OF internal rev.
enue. Provision is made that no
sugar shall be added to increase the
alcoholic content.
Bureau officials said that the straw
berry growers had appealed to pro-
libition authorities for permission
to set up,a winery to care for their
surplus crop, estimated to be worth
about $5,000,000. Under the Vol
stead act, it was explained, it is
legal to establish wineries for the
manufacture of nonbeverag products
for sacramental or medicinal pur-
poses.
The association, it was said, plans
to erect in Louisiana, large wine
manufacturing plant
Whether the principle on which
the permit was issued would apply
in other cases, officials could not say,
but it was suggested that should a
surplus of berries occur in other
states, the producers would be en-
titled to an opportunity to show
whether there was danger of heavy
loss unless the establishment OF a
winery was resorted to.
Such procedure, officials intinated,
would not be confined to strawberry
producers, but would include pro.
ducers of other juicy berries and
might, in the case of necessity, cover
vegetables such as beets and pos
sibly dandelions and elderberries.

Technicalities
Halt Passage Of
School Bond Bill
Conference Committee Named
On Omaha Measure in
Order to Permit S., ,0OO,.
900 Issue.

Lincoln, March 23.-(Special.) y,
Technicalities kept the house from
accepting amendments to H. R. l64
This bill originally raised the inter-
est on the $5,000,0O0 Omaha High
School OF Commerce bond issae from
5 to 6 per cent and provided that
baby bonds could be issued for
purchase by the Omaha public.
When the bill went to the senate
an amendment was tackled on pro-
viding that the Omaha board OF
education "could not issue bends in
excess of $5,000,000 every two years
without submitting the issue to a
vote of the people" *
II House Refuses to Concur
When the bill was returned to the
senate the house refused to concur,
claiming that it was { ngerous to give
tie board of education power to
issue Ss,0O0,0O0 in bonds every two
years without submitting II to a
vote of the people. The bill was
held up for further consideration.
The Omaha board of education,
through its judiciary committee. bus
led itself and explained to members
that in order to reissue the bonds
without undue expense the obJec-
tionable clause must be injected IN
the bill,
That WAS explained by members
CT the Douglas county delegation
and a resolution by the board OF
education passed Monday at Omaha
was read, pledging that it would not
take advantge OF this extraordinary
power and after the present S5,WO,-
600 issue was disposed OF this year
that it would take proper steps to
repeal the bill in 1928. !,
A number OF members declared
such unprecedented power given TO
an educational board, no matter what
tie circumstances might be, was
dangerous. But the Douglas county
legislators, after much talking IN Ia
cor OF concurrence. got 81 votes on
a motion to concur.
Speaker Finds Error.
II looked like the trouble was all
over. But this afternoon Speaker.
Walter L. Anderson read rules OF
procedure showing that this bill,
which has an emergency clause at.
tached. needed two-thirds vote OF
the house for passage and that a
concurrence motion on an emergency
clause bill also needed two-thirds
vote. which is 81 votes in the house.
So, in an effort to arrange mat
ters satisfactorily, the speaker ap-
rointed conference committee conf
posed OF Mellor, Dysart and Rodn'an
to meet senate conference commit
tee composed of Hastings, Robbins
and Harriss. This committee was
directed to endeavor to revamp the
bill in a proper legal manner so
the house and senate can concur on
i, and get the necessary two-thirds
vote to put the emergency clause
through. The emergency clause pro-
vides the bill can become operative
Immediately after its signature by
the governor.

Officials Noncommital

Washington, March 23.-Consider-
alton by the United States of the
question OF resuming trade relations

the State department arNIounced re-
ceipts of message from Lenine,
Russian leader, appealing for con-
ference and announcing that he

CATION TO negotiate an agreement to
that end.
Government officials were care
full not TO commit themselves as to
the course that may be taken but
there were indications that the clos
est scrutiny had been given the Brit
ish-Russian trade agreement and that
q somewhat broader Interpretation
had been given regulations that de-
fined the Wilson administrators
policy in dealing with the bolsheviki.
The Russian appeal, which in pro-
losing the opening OF trade relations
said, for that purpose the relations
between the two republics have to
be on the whole, regularized," was
issued without comment. 1t was ad-
dressed to congress and President
Harding and contained an arraign-
ment OF PRESIDENT Wilson for his
Russian policy. The hope was ex-
pressed that the United States would
not continue to follow "obdurately,"
the course taken by President Will
son, who. the note declared, with
out cause and without any declara-
ton OF war" attacked Russia and
"showeAa growing hostility toward

Note Includes Promise.
With the proposal to send ain Of
ficial delegation. the note contained
what was construed as promise to
exclude the United States from its
field of revolutionary propaganda.
The soviet republic, absorbed in
the work of internal reconstruction
and building up its economic life"
the note said, has not the intention
OF intervening in the internal affairs

tral executive committee makes here

perts. and. while it was realized his
apparent about face may have been

Creation of all industrial court to

braska legislature today by the sift-
ing committee when it put House

the Epperson industrial court bill. on
general file. = ,..
This action by the sitting COM
mittee means bitter fight with the
Nonpartisan league, union labor and
capital arrayed on the other side.
The league has its members in the
legislature. The unions have lobby
and capital has a lobby.
Corporations, whose profiteering
plans will be nipped under the Ep-
person bill, are reported to be align
cd against the measure and ready and
willing to go the limit u killing it.
The Nonpartisan league and union
labor already are arrayed against
both bills.
Representative Epperson copied
the strike and lockout clauses OF
the bill from the Allen industrial
court bill passed in Kansas a year
ago at a special session when coal
miners stopped work in the middle
OF winter and threatened to force
higher wages through suffering of
the public for want of fuel At the
same time Epperson injected a few
ideas of his own concerning profit
eering which, in short, gives the pro-
posed industrial commission OF three
members power to fix prices of nee
essaries of life when profiteering is
proved.
A few days ago the sitting com
mittee voted down an attempt to
throw the andall-I1ascall anti-pick-
citing bill out on general file. Since
that time the members have heard
charges lodged against them that the
labor unions and Nonpartisan leagu-
ers had them scared out" Today,
according to reports of members. the
two bills were reported out on gen.
eral file without a dissenting vote.
