tion Of Governor William d. Denney

AT this time we are in the thrOes

basic and fundamental conditions are
sound and while we face readiust-
ment along all lines Of business eff

sure, and the closing months Of 1921
should see everyone enjoying the full
measure OF prosperity.
The shelves OF our merchants are
bare OF goods and stocks or ware
houses everywhere are low. The con-
suming power OF our hundred million
people must soon exhaust any sur
plus in all lines and the law OF de-
mand Will soon regulate the barOm-

Evidence Convincing.

Poughkeepsie, N. Y, July 14.-At- torneys for James A. Stillman, plain tiff in the Stillman divorce action, tried at the end of the hearing be- fore Referee Daniel Gleason here yesterday to prevent the introduction of any further testimony showing in timacy between MT. Stillman and Mrs. Florence H. Leeds or any other wom- an,
 Although MT. Stillman's attorneys declined to admit Stillman's miscon- duct, Colonel William Rand, one of his counsel, said that the plaintiff would not contradict any of the evil dence which showed that he had lived as the husband of Mrs. Leeds under the name of Franklin Harold Leeds" Colonel Rand said that, if the referee considered the evidence already was sufficient to find against the plaintiff On this point, the plaintiff would not attempt to dispute it and further tes- timony along the same line would be superfuous.
 Fight Over Little Guy
 By this offer, which was seemingly designed both to avoid further publi- city and to protect MT. Stillman from | POsooiCAS M A11lAlrdl ClTS0, the tlft's attorneys practically announced abandonment of any hope of winning the divorce action against Mrs. Anne Urqhart Stillman and thei determined t1on to center efforts in the attempt to have Guy, the youngest son of Mrs. Stillman, adjudged ilIegitimate. Colonel Rand's request was opposed both by John B. Mack, guardian ad litem for Guy Stillman, and John F. Brennan Mrs. Stillman's chief counsel MT. Brennan pointed out that, inas- much as the case would probably go to an appellate court, the defense had not only to satisfy Referee Gleason but also should have the right to in troduce evidence to meet any situation lthat might arise i'll a higher court MT. Mack contended that, in view of the charge that MT. Stillman and Mrs. Leeds had entered into a conspiracy to obtain divorce for the former and to have Guy Stillman declared iMegi- | timate. the latter was entitled to any advantage that might be gained from 1 the submission of further evidence | Referee Gleason, after hearing the l arguments, announced that he would | permit the defense to continue it's
 testimony, at least for the present
