Beauyais was very indignant at
having been referred TO in the news
papers as an Indian and half
breed. He considers himself n FRENCH
Canadian. Beauvais does not look
like an Indian. lie has polished
ways and a smooth, courteous
manner. He is well dressed, appar-
emily has plenty OF money and would
not be out OF place in any drawing
room. He seemed TO have been fully
informed OF all tho details of the
case.
Il don't want any publicity" he
said. Then he added Fred Beau
vals, the guide, is dead"
He declared he was through with
earning his living in that way.
Beauvais refused absolutely TO men
ton Mrs. Stillman.
''She shan't be discussed" he said
Her name shall never be banded
about"
He declared he would not cross the
border again. and that he would have
nothing further to do with the case.
With regard to the reported raid on
the Stillman Lodge in Quebec pro
vince, during which shots were fired.
Beauvais said:
'"rhe first l heard OF that was when
read il in the newspapers. The only
shots l ever heard around the place
were fired by young James stillmau
jr, who did lot Of shooting at tar
gets every day"
Beauvais spoke affectionately OF
young stillman, who Is sixteen years
OF age. He pointed with apparent
pleasure at a picture Of the million
aire bankers son which was on tho
mantel above the fireplace in the
luNuriously furnished room.
II feel very indignant at being re-
ferred TO as a half-breed." he said,
with an air OF annoyance. "Our fam
lily is one Of the oldest in Quebec"
He hastened 70 produce documents
10 trace his line OF ancestry.
'IThe statement, which has been
printed. that l have recently been al
Tarrytown is entirely false" he said
'T formerly was manager OF the still
man properties at Quebec and Tarry-
town, but the last time I was IN
Tarrytown was over a year ago.

very much mistaken when he says
was seen there a short time ago. RE
described me as a man over feet
tall and weighing more than 200
pounds. That is absurd. as you can
see for yourself"
Beauvais stood up for inspeotion
He did not look like a 6-footer or a
200 FOUNDER. lie said his height was
feet 10 inches and that he weighed
l62 pounds.
Beauvais refused to discuss tha

nos TeStifieS She Saw the Two
Emerge From a Bathroom.
HINTS OF USE OF DOPE
Says She Knew Mrs. Stokes as
One Who Used to Sit in
Waldorf'S Peacock Alley.

Further testimony tending to iudi-
cate an intimate friendship Of Mrs,
W. L. d. Stokes for Edgar r. wallace
was given to-day ny another witness
in the divorce trial. This witness,
Mrs. Gcncv.eve La CroiN dc Anquinos
who said she was interested in dogs
and had a puppy for sale, went TO
Wallace's apartment at No. 1S East
35th Street, where She herself lived.
He came out 81 the bathroom" she
explained, "and after him came Mrs.
Stokes. Neither was in street attire.
Mns. Stokes screamed and ran back
in the room, and l said: I'm afraid
I'm intrudins,' and left the apart
ment."
The witness was subjected to a
severe grllling by Martin w. Little
ton, Mrs. Stokess attorney, and lost
something OF her composure under
it, correcting her testimony in one
instance. She persisted in irritated
retorts to Mr.. Lttleton's questioning
and at one stage of the proceedings
he appealed to Justice Finch to re-
strain her, characterizing her as ''un-
blushlngly impudent."
After telling of many places where
she had met or seen Mrs. stokes, she
seemed to be thoroughly we'll poised.
@. (By Mr.. Wellman)-Where else
have you seen Mrs. Stokes? A. AT
the Maryland Hotel. No. lO4 West

toria with Mr.. Wallace in 1911, be-
fore she was married to Mr.. Stokes.
Q. When did you first see Mrs.
Stokes at the 35th Street house? A.
A short time after Sept. 4, 1914, when
l moved into the house.
The witness said she rented the rear
of her apartment in S5th Street to
Gladys Dale, dog fancier who was
a. friend of Mrs. Stokes.
In December, 1914, according to the
witness, she went down to Edgar
Wallace's apartment one afternoon
to show him a puppy she had for
sale.
BOTH WERE IN THE BATHROOM.

and jumped back into the bathroom.
I said: 4 suppose I am intrudlng,'
and 1 went out. But Mr.. Wallace
bought the puppy a1terward."
During the testimony OF the wit
ness Mr.. Littleton remarked in a dis
tinctly audible aside: That's not
the only dog in this easel"
Questioned as to other times on
which she had seen Mrs. Stokes and
Wallace together. the witness said
that one midnight in 1916 she heard
a scream in the hall in front of Wal

By Joseph S. Jordan.
Especial staff Correspondent Of The
Eveninu World)

ALBANY, March 1.-Two New
New York Senators voted in con-
ference early this morning for the
Miller traction bill and their votes
will probably be the means Of pass
ing the measure through the Senate.
They are c. Ernest Smith Of sta
pleton, S. l., and George NJ. Reisch-
mann of No. $50 Eldert Street,
Brooklyn.
Tho Republican members of the
Assembly to-day after a secret con
ference of two hours, mustered
aSventy eight votes, two more than
necessary for the passage Of the
traction measure in the Lower
House. With the thirty votes in the
senate, which means four votes to
spare for passage, the Miller bill will
before the end Of the week be in the
lands of the Governor. In the As
eembly conference Edward r.
Iayhcr of New York City voted for
he bid
Another conference Of Assembly
Republicans will be held after ad-
iournment tomorrow at which
,mendments to the bill will be con-
sidered. Senate Leader Lusk said last
light that there will be no amend
ments.
Majority Leader Senator Clayton
r. Lusk announced after the con-
r.,o.oo +lo.a ,,,oro tbyrt,r ,,,to, Gov
the traction measure, but would not
give the names, nor would he give
the names of the seven men from
Greater New York who voted
against It,
1t was learned. however, that five
OF the latter were Senators Charles
g. Lockwood, William Duggan, John
Ia Karle, Abraham l.. Katlan and
Ward V. ToIbert. The other two, It
IS said on good authority, were Sen
atOr William T. Simpson of Brook
lyn and Senator Schuyler NJ. Meyer
OF Manhattan.
Leader Lusk's idea in not max
ing public the names of the two
New York Senators was doubtless
that If their votes are unnecessary
TO pass the bill they will be re-
leased from their promise, and by
voting against il they can face
their constituents when they go
home. II requires only tWenty-six
votes to pass any measure in the
Senate.

UPSTATE MEN WERE READY TO
Ain HITV

The only hope New York had of
defeating the bill was by making a
solid front at the conference, for their
colleagues know the Democrats are
solidly opposed to it. As it was there
was some help extended to the New
York Republicans at the opening OF
the conference, and that harmony did
not prevail Is evident from the long
period of the session.
The help to New York came from
upstate, but added to the lash OF the
party whip to bring up-Staters into

annually The loss through pre-
ventable diseases is placed Mt three
billion dollars annually.

COTTON INDUSTRY
DEMANDS RELIEF

New York, June American
cotton growers, manufacturers ant
affiliated interests at their nationa
conference yesterday called upon the
federal government to aid in the re-
Mobilization OF the cotton industry
The government was urged in res.
outions:
To authorize and grant more
liberal extension Of credits on farm
loans.
To lower the Federal Reserve
bank rediscount rate without delay
to a figure not in excess of five per
cent on the rediscounts Of farm
products and all commercial paper.
TO instruct the War Finance Corr
poration and the Department of
Commerce to render all possible aid
in opening UP exports for cotton
and other American raw products so
as to stimulate the movement and
consumption of such commodities
as rapidly as possible
Restriction of credits and high
rate of rediscount charged on farm
loans, the resolutions said have rem
dered it impossible for farmers to
plant and cultivate a normal cotton
crop in 1921, and indications are
that the cotton acreage will be the
planted in the last 25 years.
THE cottonsrowing industry and
the entire agriculture of the nation, I"
the resolution said. "are suffering
from unspeakable losses in price
values and stagnated markets in
and restricted exports. De-
flation in farm values, which was
50 unexpectedly precipitated upon
the country in AUGUST. 1920, found
the cotton growers with their crops
ready for harvest and without DOW
er to protect themselves from he
debacle of constantly lowering
prices.
The crop was produced at the
peak of high cost and the growers
found themselves facing bankruptcy
values. From an expectancy OF $2,-
100000 for the cotton crop in
July, 1920, when cultivation ceased,
The growers of that crop sustained
a loss of $1,000, 100000, no part of
which was profit, but represented
q net loss deducted from the. actual
cost of production
1t is proposed to have governors
of cotton-growing states appoint a
to work out plan OF CO.
operation in stabilizing prices.
President Harding's message to
the convention. pledging the coop
Grafton of the administration in i'm
proving conditions in the cotton in
dustry, was declared to be one of.
craftsmanship and true American
ism, and the delegates to the world
cotton conference in England were
urged to present it at that gather
ing.
The American delegates to the
world cotton conference. 10 be held
in Liverpool and Manchester from
June IL to 23 We're instructed to
rse the adoption ~ the United
States standard of cotton grades in
the international marketing Of Am
erican cotton between eSror. ors and
foreign purchasers.
About 200 representatives OF the
industry will sail today to attend
the world conference
