Newark Has Denikine's
Potash, Worth $500, 900
Mineral Shipped Here TO EN-
change for Farm Tools Aban-
doned When Dictator Fell

There's $S60,000 worth of potash in
Newark, and nobody owns 1t.
Before the Denikine government lost
control of South Russia a shipment Of
GIG cases Of Russian potash was sent
to Newark. Peter A. Morosof, of 80
Court Street, Brooklyn, was the selling
agent for the Denikine government
and it was his JOB to dispose of The
potash in the American market. With
the proceeds he was to purchase farm
indictments and ship them to Russia.
Just about the time the potash
reached this countrv General Dcnikine
fell from power The potash was put
in a storage warehouse in Newark
while Morosotf awaited developments.
In the mean time the Newark asses
sors assessed the potash at a valuation
of $860,000, which is about 35 cents Il
pound, The taxes were assessed
against the Independent Agricultural
Corporation. of 512 Fifth Avenue, New
York selling agent for Mr.. Morosotf
Mr.. Morosotf appeared before the Es-
sex County Tax Board in Newark yes
terday and asked that the taxes he
cancelled on the ground that the prop
erty was under unbroken importers
seals and therefore was still the prop
erty of the shipper and untuXable. The

Thirsty Throng to March July 4
For Personal Liberty---and Beer
Hottest Hour of Day Picked for Host Which Will
Parade, Perhaps 100000 Strong, Up the Ave-
nue. as a Protest Against the Prohibition Forces

Two hundred thousand men and
women, thirsting for personal liberty
and beer, will march up Fifth Avenue
July 4, it was predicted yesterday, to
demonstrate the parching sincerity of
their thirst.
When Frank c. Drake advertised one
morning for 100000 earnest marchers
for the parade he thought he was
making about as liberal a demand on
the public as was safe. He didn't want
personal liberty and beer to become
ridiculous simply because he had been
oversanguiue, and it would be most
humiiating to him if he had let ON
that he expected to head 0,o00
paraders and only lS7,547 had lined
up for the start
So MIR. Drake advertised conserva-
lively for 100 900, and when he applied
for his parade permit yesterday the
very lowest estimate he would make as
to the number of pilgrims to engage In
the Fourth of July quest for personal
liberty and beer was 1877 ,547.
So far as Mr.. Drake is concerned,
personal liberty is the principal aim
of the demonstration. Mr. Drake
as a kind of chaser for personal lib
erty. Mr., Drake Is liberal l-minded, how
ever. He doesn't insist that every
mercher must put personal liberty be-
fore beer.
He realizes that while personal lib
erty might mean beer to an idealist
like him, certain concrete minded in
dividuals might conceive of beer as
being personal liberty. Concrete

no one has carried him off. He took

But he couldn't have fooled us; he
was dead" insisted Woof- Woof.
No., replied Mother Bear, "he
simply, pretended he was dead. He
knew he couldn't fool YOU a second

dangerous, so he rolled over on his

start at p. m-about the warmest
moment of the day--at the Washington
Arch and is to keep right on parading
until the foremost units reach Seventy
second Street.
1t is as rugged and arid route as
the ascetic Mr. Drake could think Of.
FROM the Arch to Forty~eighth Street
there ID not even a monastery with
properly equipped st. Bernards, and
from Forty-eighth Street north, the
passage is equally perilous.
All that is demanded OF the paraders
IN that they be hardy and earnest and
not liquor dealers nor affiliated with
either breweries or dIstilleries in any
but an amateur way.
On this last point, Mr.. Drake is
most inststent. IF any teetotalers try
any. mud-slinging Mr., Drake intends
TO nave things arranged so that they
will have to use their own mud; there
Will be none to be found on the skirts
of his parade. SO far as mud is con-
eerned, it's going TO be dusty parade,
positively, Mr., Drake says.
In furtherance of this ideal Mr..
Drake announced yesterday that no
money was being accepted unless it
came voluntarily through popular sub
scrlption. This was going to be no
body's parade hut the paraders', said
Mr., Drake, All applications for posi-
tions in line and offers of bands. flags,
automobiles or other gifts should be
made to suite 706, 1865 Broadway,
where Mr.. Drake opened headquarters

had given them such fright the
day before, and who Mother Bear

"Come see him and tell us if it is

Bankers Demands
Block. Settlement
I'm StiIl1nnan Case
Wife Refuses to Accept
Terms Specifying Where
She Shall Reside; Adjust
ment Expected in Week

No settlement of the divorce suit
of James A. Stillman against Mrs.
Anne Urquhart Potter Stilman was
arranged yesterday, but it was pre-
dicted on good authors that the
negotiations would be successful and
that a settlement out of court would
in all probability be made within u
week.
The attorneys in the case have until
next Wednesday to complete d settle
ment before the case is called agair
and by asking another adjournment
could take even more time to adjust
matters. The settlement now hinges
on the demand by Mr.. Stilman that
his wife leave the country pending an
adjustment of all differences and COM
plications which have grown out OF the
suit.
An authority said yesterday that the
future policy of Mrs. Stillman hinges
on whether her husbands attorney 5
accept her ultimatum without specify
ing where Mrs. Stillman is to reside
in the future.
Unless a settlement is effected ON
these grounds, it was said, Mrs. Still
man would fight the case through the
courts and at the end of the divorce
suit she might bring $500 900 aliena,
tion suit against Mrs. Florence Lawlor
Leeds, named as correspondent in the
case.
There will no new suits filed until
the, present one is finally disposed of,
and any future suit depends ON the
settlement of this one" one familiar
with the case said yesterday
When the suit is tnaly settled it NAV
be that the public will not be given the
final terms upon which the settlement
is effected. Mrs. Stillman was said to
have been advised yesterday by her at
torneys not to accept an "ffer of $780,
o00 to appear as an actress in the mo-
tion pictures. 1t was said that such a
course could only serve to lose any
public sympathy that has been aroused

Scope To BE Widened
Parole Commissioner Lord
Also Appointed Legisla-
tive Committee Counsel

James f. Smith, Assistant District
Attorney, and Frank r. Lord. Parole
Commissioner, were appointed yester-
day assistant counsel to the joint leg
islative committee investigating the
Hylau administration, according to an
official announcement made by Senator
Schuyler Nj. Meyer, chairman Of the
body. Both sppointees will make their
headquarters at the committees offices,
at 3S Park Row, and will assume their
new posts on June 1.
Mr., Smith, it is understood, will de-
vote his entire time to police matters,
and his work will be more or less Of q
continuation of that with which he was
engaged under former Governor Charles
s. Whitman during the grand jury
probe OF c ty departments.
The police inquiry which Mr., Smith
will conduct for the Meyer committee
will be much broader in scope than
was the one carried on by the Whitman
Investigators. The grand jury's in
vestigation of the Police Department
was based on leads furnished by The
New York Tribune, and resulted in one
conviction and many indictments,
which are still pending. The highest
police official indicted by the grand
jury was William j. Lahey, chief in
pector of the department under Com
missioner Enright.
From a reliable source it was learned
yesterday that Mr.. Whitman objected
strenuously to the appointment of Mr..
Smith by the legislative committee, and
made a last minute appeal to the As
sistant District Attorney to reject the
post. The former Governor, it is
understood. asked Mr.. Smith to con-
tinue his work in the Whitman in
quiry. This Mr.. Smith declined to do,
and informed Mr.. Whitman that he felt
it his duty to cooperate with the state
body, where he could have a wider
latitude in conducting his investigation
of the Enrrght administration.
Mr.. Smith said that he had mass
Police Department which he would lay
before the legislative committee.
1t is understood .hat the Assistant
District Attorney will have the right
to appoint his own staff The only
person he has so far selected to assist
him in his state inquiry is Detective
Emil Killing, for many years his body
guard and confidential secretary.
James E. Smith is a Democrat and
was appointed an assistant by Charles
S. Whitman when he was District
Attorney.
Several witnesses were examined
yesterday by members of the legisla-
tive body sitting as committees of one.
Their names and the nature Of the
testimony they gave were withheld
Much valuable information was said to
have been obtained from one witness
by Deputy Attorney General Samuel A.

A little low ceied room of the sort one sees in fine
old houses of New England has been furnished with
reproductions of fine old maple furniture and chntzcs
so that it has the fresh naive charm that the old New
England bedrooms had.
The whole effect is one of cool blue and gray and
apricot. The character Of the whole room is deter
with simply carved posts and covers of bright apricot
colored organdie friled about the edges. These
organde put pink slips so that the
effect is very lovely and fresh.
The over curtains at the windows are Of deep
apricot colored glazed chntz with small blue flowers
sprinkled through it. These are stfly draped with
Victorian valances that are very amusing.
A large arm chair and Two smaller chairs are
covered with glazed chntz with blue and rose; the
cool blue is charming against the background Of gray
scenic wallpaper of typical New England atmosphere.
A really beautiful high-boy and ow-boy and
mirror and bedside table are all in curly maple of
hne color, exquisite reproductions of Colonial furn-
ture. The rich old gold of the maple harmonzes
beautifully with the apricot and blue and gray in the
