RED UPRISING IN GERMANY
OUTRACES IN CENTRAL CITIES
GENERAL STRIKE AIMED AT
CARDINAL GIBBONS VERY
Low, DEATH MATTER HOURS
PHYSICIANS GIVE UP HOPE

Baltimore, Nd, Mar. 23-The death
of Cardinal Gibbons was momentarily
expected and his physicians believed
that he would not have strength to
live through another night, it was an
nounced at the arch-Episcopal resi-
dence this evening.
Throughout the day the cardinals
condition was precarious. He lapsed
into Inconsistencies several times,
each time the physicians believing
that the end had come.
+ A constant watch was kept at the
aged prelate's bedside. by the physi-
clans and every effort was made to
ward off the hour of his death. In
all the Catholic churches of the city,
prayers were offered tonight for his
recovery or happy death
Anxious inquiries were made at the
arch Episcopal residence and of the
newspapers for news concerning the
cardinal throughout the day. Several
times rumors circulated that he had
died early in the afternoon.
/ The extreme illness of the cardinal,
who, until last Sunday was believed
I to be slowly regaining his health, cast
, an additional gloom over Holy Week,
hut in event of his death the Holy
Week services will continue uninter-
rupted, it was stated by the Cathe-
dral authorities. The tenebrae SER
vice held tonight at the Cathedral
was the first in many years at which
Cardinal Gibbons did not preside and
sing the Benedictus.
Easter services will be celebrated
in all the Catholic churches, it was
said, the difference from other years
being the absence of pontifical mass
at the Cathedral
! The Cardinals condition remained
virtually unchanged throughout the
earlier hours of the night. His pulse
had become stronger, however. and
members of his household expressed
the belief that he might last for sew
eral days. He has been unconscious
since this morning.

RECENT ANCLO-RUSSIAN PACT A FACTOR
COUNTER CLAIMS ILLEC|T|mATE
CHILDREN BEFORE CouRTIN
ST|LLMAN DIVORCE PROCEEDINGS
NAMES INDIAN GUIDE

Plans Of the defense to bring Mr..
Stilman into court to be questioned
about his income so that the court
might conclude what alimony should
be paid were automatically dropped
when the bankers counsel admitted
that Mr.. Stillman's net income for
1920 was $53O,OOO and that he was
willing to allow his wife enough ALI
mony to live "in reasonable luxury"
Guy Stllman, whose paternity is
questioned by the bank president,
was born November 10, 1918.
Fred Beauvais, an Indian guide,
formerly employed at the Stillman
camp at Three Rivers. Que, is men
toned by the banker as the child's
father. Mr.. and Mrs. Stillman are
reported to have separated in March
1920 and the divorce action was
started the following July.
Reference is reported to have
been made in the bankers affidavits
to a letter alleged to have been writ
ten to him by his wifei n the spring
of 1913 a few months prior to Guy 5
birth in which the name of Beauvais
is mentioned. This letter, while not
mentioning any specific act of in
fidelity is said to form the basis for
the bankers charges.
Counsel for the wife will seek to
prove afIidavits already filed and the
testimony of witnesses to be heard
later, that Mr.. Stillman and Frank
lyn Harold Leeds described as the
husband of Mrs. Florence Fl. Leeds
are one and the same man and that
the child, Jay, is the result of this
union. Mrs. Leeds occupied a fash
ionable apartment here during the
war and up until q few days ago
had been living in handsome villa
at Miami, Fla.
Counsel for the financier told the
court that his divorce suit was
started because it was impossible
otherwise to establish the alleged
illegitimacy of the child, Guy. The
plaintiff presented it as q matter OF
either acknowledging the infant as
member of the family or repudlatlne
him as illegitmate. Mrs. Stillman
counsel contended there was no evil
dence before the court to show any
one other than Mr.. Stillman to be
the father of the boy.
The wedding'of Mr.. and Mrs. Still
man here on June ). 1901, was one
of the gala social events of the sea
son. They have three children. two
bows and a girl, in addition to Guy
the oldest a boy of II years.

Wits filed with Supreme court justice

charge was made by the society wo-
mans counsel, who filed affidavits
denying all of Mr.. Stillmans allega-
tons.
Setting up an affirmative answer
to the bankers suit, counsel for the
wife filed additional affidavits, which
were not made public, bringing into
the case the name of Mrs. Flor
ence II. Leeds" former chorus girl,
and that of her child, Jay, alleged to
have been born out of wedlock and
whose father is said to be the bank
president.
Neither Mr.. nor Mrs. Stillman was

Atlantic Towboat
Workers Threaten
TStrike Within "a Hours

New York, Mar. 23-Orders for an
immediate strike of marine workers
on ocean going towboats along the
Atlantic and Gulf coasts probably
will be issued within "a hours,
Thomas 3. Healey general manager
of the Marine Engineers Beneficial
Association, announced here tonight.
He said plans for the walkout in
protest against wage cuts placed in
effect March I by the Atlantic Coast
Towboat Owners Association, had
been completed today and were
awaiting approval of the associa-
TONS national executive committee.
This, he added, was expected before
tomorrow morning, whereupon or
ders to quit work would be given.
The strike, according to union
leaders would affect more than $50
ocean going towboats and about
2400 men.
Union leaders of the marine work
ers in this port affected by wage
cuts proposed by railroad companies
announced today that they will APP
peal against the reductions to the
railroad labor board at Chicago.
Labor leaders said that union men
employed on the boats of this New
York, New Haven and Hartford
railroad had stood soldly against
accepting a decrease and that a ma
iority of the men employed on the
floating equipment of the Central
Railroad of New Jersey also had re-
fused to accept wage cuts. They
asserted, however, they were uncer-
tain as to how workers on other
roads had met wage cut proposals.
They said that it will not be until
April 1, that they will know exactly
how many of their men have in
dividually agreed to accept wage re-
auctions.

Strawberry Men
of Louisiana May
Manufacture Wine

Washington, Mar. 23.-A permit to
manufacture wine out of strawber-
ries for non-beverage purposes was
issued tonight to the strawberry
growers association of Louisiana by
the bureau of internal revenue. Pro-
vision is made in the permit that no
sugar shall be added to increase the
alcoholic content of the product.
While no explanation of the issu
ance of the permit was made by the
bureau, officials said that the straw
berry growers had appealed to pro-
hibition authorities for permission to
set up a winery in order to care for
their surplus crop which was estim-
ated to be worth about $4,000 900
Under the Volstead Act it was it is
legal to establish wineries for the
manufacture of nonbeverage pro-
ducts for sacramento or medicinal
purposes.
Whether the principle on which the
permit. was issued to the strawberry
men would apply in other cases, Of
ficals could not say, but it was sug-
gested that should surplus of ber-
ries occur in other states the produc-
erS WOuIu De cUILllto ~ GIL oPP'A to'i
ity to show whether they were in
danger Of heavy loss unless the es-
Establishment of winery was resorted
to.
Such procedure, officials intimated,
would not be confined to strawberry
producers, but would include pro-
ducers of other juicy berries: black
berries. blueberries and the different
shades of raspberries-and might in
the case of necessity. cover vege-
tables such as beets and possibly
dandelions and elderberries.
