All the estates Of James A, Stillman,
millionaire tinancier, who is suing Mrs.
Ann Urquhart Stillman for divorce, are
under heavy guard, it was learned yes
terday, to prevent tresspassing by the
curious attracted as q result of the
publicity given the case. An armed
escort also accompanies Mr. Stillman
wherever he goes.
The personal guard over Mr., Still
man has been employed on the advice
Of lawyers, following the receipt, it is
reported, of threatening letters.
A person in the employ Of Mrs. Still
man said yesterday: There has been
no talk of settlement so far as we
are concerned, and l doubt it there
will be such an outcome, although
believe Mr. Stilman might be desirous
of taking a short cut out Of court at
this time The defense is ready to go
ahead with the case on May 20 1t al
ways has been ready. If any continu-
ance is asked the defense will not ask
for it,
Asked about blood tests or other
proposed means to establish the parent
age Of Guy Stillman, one OF Mrs. Still
mans employees said: There will not
be any such tests. You can rest as
sured of that. To begin with, there
are no such methods which would be
recognized by any court"
1t was declared that the only way
to establish parentage was by te timony
and circumstantial evidence, and that
most evidence available in such eases
has not been deemed worthy by courts

Greek Clerk, Freed
FROM Jail, Seized
AS Coul1terfeiter
Is Arrested on Indictment,
Returned Two Years Ago,
Charging He Had Bogus
War Savings Stamp Plates

J. T. Artemis, young Greek clerk,
is in the Tombs, held under an indict-
meat returned more than two years
ago, charging him with having counter
felt plates OF war savings stamps in
his possession.
Artemis has been confined for two
years in the Plymouth County, Mass,
jail for having passed counterfeit
money in Boston when visiting that
city while out on bail. He was re-
leased week ago, only to be arrested
before he left the premises. Agents
from this district were on hand with
a warrant aud Commissioner Aldrich
ordered him removed to New York.
According to George Winship Tay-
lor, of the United States Attorneys Of
fee, Artems had been in this country
but two years when ne was taken into
custody by Secret Service agents. The
records show that ne had furnished
room on the lower West Side.
Agents of the Department. of Justice
were on the trail, said Mr.. Taylor Of
gang of counterfeiters The chase led
to the room where Artemis lodged. In
this ROOM the indictment subsequently
found alleges, Gelatine plates were dis
covered. These plates made it possible
for the presses to print tiVe-dollar war
savings stamps. So far as is known
none had been printed.
"Artemis put up very plausible
story" said Mr., Taylor. HE insisted
he had invited some friends to his
room and that they must have left the
plates there He is fine looking fell
low and made such an impression on
me that I almost believed him. We
hoped to get the gang through his ar
rest, but Artemis spoiled things by 60

Grip of Aurora
Borealis Upon
Wires Relaxes
Magnetic Storm, Coincident
to Huge Sum Spot, Called
Most Severe Telegraph
Companies Can Recall
Even Cables Are Affected
Rail Station at Brewster,
N. Y, and Phone Exchange
i'm Sweden Are Destroyed

The mysterious power of the
Aurora Borealis continued TO inter
fere with the transmission of tele-
graph and cable messages yesterday,
but reports indicated that the hostile
influence was waning. Much of the
delay In sending messages during the
day was due to repairs necessitated
by the freakish pranks of the in
visible currents the preceding day.
All telegraph companies reported
that the delays still were serious and
it was said that this manifestation of
the unknown power was the most Sc
vera and extensive in their history,
ia spite of the statement of scientists
that the great sun spot, coincidental to
the display of electrical energy, has
been exceeded in size by previous
ones.
For many years experts have been
striving to discover the cause OF the
wire trouble which invariably accom-
panies displays of the Aurora Bore
alis, with view to avoiding it, They
have been unsuccessful. The earth
currents" as they are called, play as
they please with the tanned currents.
Every telegrapher knows what
happens every time the northern
lights appear" said an officer of a
telegraph company, but nobody seems
TO know just why"
BREWSTER, N Y, May 16.--A fire
which destroyed the Central New Eng
land Railroad station here Saturday
night was caused by the aurora bore
alis, in the opinion OF the railroad Off
cials. Telegraph Operator Hatch says
he was driven away from his instru
ment by flare Of fame which envel-
oped the switchboard and ignited the
building, The loss was $1,000.
LONDON. May 16.-Telegraph and
telephone lines in the British Isles
and throughout ali northern Europe
have been seriously interrupted by the
great magnetic storm which virtually
paralyzed wire transmits ion in the
United States Saturday night and Sun
day Cables between England and the
United States were affected early this
morning and transmission was badly
delayed
The disturbance is believed to have
caused FIRE which destroyed a tele-
phone exchange at Karlst tad, a Swedish
town about 100 miles west of Stock
holm. The building was totally de-
stroyed.

Bill Couldn't Lose His Indian
Cot, Euen After She Vas Dead
Fate, the Travelling Public and Motorman I'm
consciously Thwart Attempts TO Abandon the
Body of Pet, i'm Neatly Tied Package, Cars

Betsy, sleek black cat, for seven
years the cherished pet OF Bill Quigley
the Battery boatman, oied on Saturday
She was OF Indian blood and was born
on board the steamship Heathdene on
the run from Calcutta, where her
mother was purchased by the master of
the big freighter.
One cold morning in the winter of
1913 Bill rowed through a field Of mush
ice, off Red Hook, to take lines from
the big craft that brought his black
beauty. 1t was good job and in addi-
tion to the regular fee the skipper gave
to Bill one Of the litter of the prize
Indian tabby.
Several times the creature had been
stolen, but always she came back TO
the Quigley household. Sometimes she
went away for the weekend of her own
volition, and Bill had become recon
ciled to her roamings, for, as he often
remarked: "She always came back"
In the forenoon of the Sabbath. de-
spite his high regard for the promul
cations of the Lords Day Alliance
Bill undertook the task Of disposing
of the dead Betsy. He wanted to wait
until Monday, but a higher authority
in the QuigleY household decided that
Betsy would leave early.
1t was suggested to Bill by the head
of the house that a sack and small
CRATE bar might assist in giving the
cat decent marine burial out in the
Narrows, but Bill baked at this. He
pulls an oar six days week and there
was nothing doing on Sunday. Above
all, he was charged not to dispose of
the creature under the sod of the back
yard.
"All right" said the boatman to the
head of the house. "Leave it to me,
I'll get rid of Betsy"
He laid the animal carefully upon a
remnant of old table cover and sewed
her un in q neat bundle. Over this
New-York tribune., 1921-05-17

he wrapped piece of creaseless and
immaculate wrapping paper, tied 1t
carefully and then affixed a neat shawl
strap handle.
Merriment over the success Of his
scheme dimmed for the moment Bills
grief for the dead Betsey and he
sauntered cheerfully to Sackett Street
and hailed car. He found one va
cant seat and put the package dc luxe
beside him.
At time which to him seemed psy-
Geological the boatman rushed to the
exit with the feigned excitement Of one
who had gone by his stopping place.
But there we're too many honest folk
on that car 20 let Bill get away without
his cat.
Here, mister" said q woman. "Na
left your package" The woman's ten
year-old boy picked up the disguised
Betsy and delivered it again into the
unwilling hands of the boatman
"Bill" boarded the next. car, bound
in the opposite direction. but honesty
on the part of the travelling public
again foiled him and he waited two
hours for change of luck.
This time Bill was sure his effort
would be final.
AS he entered the car the motorman,
an old friend, nodded to him, and Bill
had an excuse to leave his seat and
bid him the time of day. Two negroes 3
who sat opposite riveted their eyes on
t package of cat. Bill. observing
their atfectionate glancos, lcaped from
the car and went up a side street and
set his course for home.
AT last his ingenious plan had sue
ceeded.
About / o'clock Sunday evening, while
the boatman was relating to the head
of the house his experiences of tho
day, the door bell rang and on the
porch appeared the friendly motorman.
"Those coons got away with your
package, Bill, but l chased them block
and they dropped it, Here it is"
And there it was.

;, Thomas G. Patten, Postmaster Of
New York. Yesterday reiterated his re,
quest to local business men to mail
their letters early in the day to
tighten the peak load in the New York
office each evening.
Mr, Patten explained that this

more important letters which must be,
mailed during rush time. Wv -
Business men ought to realize -
said Mr.. Patten, chat if they viii
send their mail early in the day thew
will get more efficient and quicker
service. The mailing of letter half
an hour before the evening rush be-
gins may mean that it will arrive at

Conditions ON the main roads in
Queens Borough are not good right
now. Broadway, between Broadway
Flushing and Baysida, is closed for
much needed repairs. This makes if
necessary for North Shore traffic to
turn off on TO Rocky Hill Road and
Queens Road The Merrick Road is also
under repair for considerable stretch
between Jamaica and Valley Stream.
This disDoses CT the comfort and Sc
curity cf the hack road from the Rock
away Peninsula through to Flushing,
instead of following the Merrick Road
back through to Jamaica and the regu-
lar route rom that place into New
York City. The mass of weekend
traffic Gil the back roads Will maxi
gravel ia either direction difficult and
slow for several weeks to come.
Plans for increasing ferry service
from uptown New York to jersey
points Will afford greater comfort for
tourists this sumner. The scheme Is
Fort Lee ferry, from 130th Street to
Edgewater, n. j. The Dyckman Street
line will work three boats across the
river. This ought to do away with some
of the heavy congestion in the sum
mer. 1t will be recalled that last year,
when there were several three-Gay holi-
days, motorists took anywhere from
three to seven hours to get across at
these points. Having more service at
Fort Lee and with motorists occasion
ally relieving things still further bv
driving to ferry lines further down
town, will make conditions better.
There is an age-old controversy
over whether tire pressure ought or
ought not to be reduced in hot weather.
Science says no, but actual practice
finds the othsr way 1t may be that
the road, lying all day in the sun. pre-
sents surface that heats up the tires
80 an extent that tSn supposed slight
increase in pressure from within more
than does the trick Tor making blow
outs. Anyway, on warm day such as
iast Sunday, an extraordinary amount
OF tire trouble was noticed. Giving a
tire full pressure on n hot day and
then driving extra fast, will at least
help toward destroying castings.
