SCIENCE CHURCH SUIT
COMPLAINT ATTACKED
Part of Mrs. Stetson's State
n1enf Ordered DeIeted.

The justice and jury who ultimately
try the suit begun in the Supreme Court
in October by Mrs Augusta +. Stetson
against the trustees of the First Chris
tian Science Church, had their work an
ticipated and considerably simplfed
yesterday when Justice Mullan granted
a motion of the defendants to strike
from Mrs. Stetson's complaint matter al
legged to be irrelevant to any issue in
the case, giving long history of her
connection with the church and her deal
ings with the trustees
The complaint charges that a fence
which has been put between the church
and her home is an encroachment, and
asks that the trustees be restrained from
making it any higher. In ruling that
this cause of action be made definite
and certain. and that all matter extra
neous thereto be excised and deleted,
Justice Mullan said:
"A proper statement of plaintiff 9
claims. confined to terms Of ultimate
fact, could probably be made within the
space of two or three typewriter pages.
Instead. the complaint has interlarded
with it all sorts of irrelevant, eviden-
tiary and immaterial allegations. making
the pleading a fearsome and monstrous
thing at the thought of answering which
any defendant might well be aghast."

HAS A BIG LAND GRANT

Special Despatch 70 THE New YORK HERALD
MONTREAL, Dec. 2.-Fred X. Beauvais.
the guide who was named as correspond
ent in the divorce suit brought by James
A. Stillman against Mrs. Anne Urquhart
Potter Stillman, probably will take the
witness stand when the special commits
sion to hear testimony convenes here
next month. and will deny the allega-
tions of the banker, both as they relate
to Mrs. Stilman and to the paternity OF
Guy Stillman. For the present Beauvais
Is refusing to talk about any angle OF
the suit.
Il am playing a silent game" he said;
Il am gambling. Life is a gamble and
do not want to be caught in any traps"
Beauvais said that when the suit has
ended he will launch a scheme which in
cludes the organizing of country clubs,
principally for dry Americans who want
to get into northern Quebec. He said
that he had already obtained the grant
of 700 square r1iles of territory from the
Canadian Government. but that he would
not begin his work until the Stillman
case has been disposed of His project
has been incorporated under the name
of Resort and Country Clubs, Ltd.
The former guide recently returned
from northern Quebec, and said that he
found the people OF Grande Anse and the
north country. where the banker alleges
the intimacy between Mrs. Stilman and
Eeauvais originated ready and willing
to take the stand and tell of happenings
at White Farm, the Stillman lodge dur
Ing the summers from 1916 to 1919.
"Stillman better not show his face in
Grande Anse." said Beauvais There
are only few people there but they
have heard of the case. So 1t would not
do for him to SHOW his face there"
Beauvais talked for some time to-day
with reporters in the rooms of the Old
Colony Club, in the Windsor Hotel. and
although he refused to talk about the
suit except to declare that the charges
against Mrs. Stillman were false, he
talked freely about himself and his aims
IN life.
1t seems that in addition to his resort
and country club scheme Beauvais has
IDEAS for capitalizing his fame i'm a lit
erary way. He has become very much
interested in literature and has begun TO
write volume of fishing and hunting
stories and motion picture scenarios
which he says will depict the true life
OF the north" He believes, however,
that the resorts and country clubs pro-
1ect will be the big money maker.
The former guide was particularly
anxious that the reporters should under
stand that he was not the typical woods
man and guide of the fiction world. but
that on the contrary he is an intelligent
man, fairly well educated and very
ambitious.
John +. Brennan and John e. Mack,
attorneys for Mrs. Stillman and her son.

Daniels Says Navy Needs
p Million for Aircraft
Pleads That S6,9l3,43I, Fixed
in House Bill, Is Entirely
Inadequate
From The Tribune's Washington Bureau


WASHINGTON, Feo. 16.-An urgent
appeal for additional appropriations
for naval aviation was made to-day by
Secretary of the Navy Daniels in q
letter to Chairman Page Of the Senate
Naval Affairs Committee. Mr.. Daniels
said that the smallest amount required
in the next year to enable the depart
men to conduct its aircraft opera
tions, developments and experiments on
a scale commensurate with its i'm
portance will be $22 500"
The Secretary informed Senator Page
that people on both sides of the ocean
believe that with the perfection of air.
craft it is destined soon TO become the
most effective engine of war" He
added that it is "of paramount i'm
portance that our navy be equipped with
suitable craft so that aircraft cooper
ating with our fleets on and under the
sea shall not be inferior to those of
any country in the world"
MIR. Daniels added that the prime
duty of the navy is by experiment, de-
veIopment and construction to perfect
lighting ships in the air, and he de-
clared that S6,913. .431, contained in the
naval appropriation bill as it passed
the House is wholly inadequate.
"The limited funds contained in the
House BILL" Mr.. Daniels said, would
make it necessary to abandon the erec-
tion of rigid dirigibla in this coun-
try"
