Justice Finch, in the Supreme Court,
granted an interlocutory decree of
divorce yesterday to DIR. Frederick A.
Barrett in his undefonded suit againss
Mrs. Marion A Barrett, who is said
to be in California. The correspondent
was Edward Allen, an insurance man.
John Richmond, friend of DR.. Bar
rett testified to what he observed at
the former home of the Barretts at 1t9
West Bightieth Street while Mr.. Allen
was q visitor there. DR.. Barrett was
in Europe at the time and Mrs. Bar

Hearing to Resume June 1
Banker Is Pointed Out as
s'Not Unrelenaing Nor
Unreasonable" in Terms

Representatives of James A. Stillmsn
and Mrs. Anne UrQuhart Potter Still
man made little Roadway yesterday in
their efforts to bring about settle
n1ent of the Stillman divorce case. The
deadlock in negotiations continued,
with small probability cs being broken,
ii was said, before June /, the date set
for resumption OF hearings before
Referee Daniel J. Gleason, at Pough-
keepsie.
While lawyers for both sides had
nothing favorable to report, they would
not say definitely that al hope for an
adjustment out of court had vanished.
An immediate settlement might have
been brought about, it was said, save
fer the fact that Mrs. Stillman rebelled
against going into exile for a period of
tive years---exile demanded bv her hus-
band. 1t was said that Mrs. Stillman
might offer a counter proposal by eX-
pressing willingness to so abroad for
year.
Such period, however, would not be
agreeable 70 MIR. Stillman, it was said,
as he is of the opinion that she would
have to remain out of the country at
least five years TO have publicity in
the case stepped.
The Tribune learned yesterday of
terms of settlement which have been
offered Mrs. StillmRn by the former
president of the National City Bank
provided that she would comply with
certain conditions. In these terms she
needs ana $4,000 yearly for the educa-
tion of her children.
A person in close touch with develop
IN
day that Mr., Stillman, in making lib
eral offers to settle the suit, had proved
that he was mot unrelenting nor un-
reasonable"
"News stories that have been printed
about the Stillman case so far" it was
said, shave been for the most part
highly favored in favor of Mrs. Still
man, the reason being that the report
ers seem to have found it easier to get
news from friends and representatives
of Mrs. Stillman than from the other
side in the case.
at must be remembered that the lib
eral offers to settle this suit came from
Mr.. Stillman himself. Mrs. Stillman at
one time was perfectly willing to go to
Paris. She did go, but she came back
Now she takes the position of resent
ing pery much Mr. Stillman's sugges-
tion that she carry out her original in
tention and go quietly away"
Mrs. Stillman has received no offer
to become a motion picture actress
and has sought no such position, ac-
cording to statement made last night
by William A. Brady, president of the
National Association Of the Motion
Picture Industry.
Mr.. Brady made the statement after
a meeting Of that organization at Del
monico's, at which it was reported
that the propriety Of seeking to CAPT
talize the publicity given the Stillman
Brady said that no such subject was
discussed, because no member of the
association, which represents 95 per
cent Of the industry, was negotiating
with Mrs. Stillman.

Missing Seattle Woman

Mahoney wedding trip to st. Paul the

Peace Compromise
I'm Shipping Strike
Held Likely To-day
Washington Conference Is
Expected to Grant Mem
Change i'm Working Rules
i'm Return for Cut i'm Pay

The chance of peace in the nation
wide shipping strike seemed brighter
Yesterday, despite statements of def
ance issued by both sides to the CON
troversy. The result rests entirely
upon the conference which will take
place in Washington to-day, when Sec
retary of Labor James j. Davis will
American Steamship Owners Associa-
ton, and representatives Of the vari-
Gus marine unions.
Although Winthrop l.. Marvin, gen
eral manager of The owners associa-
tion, and local representatives Of the
marine engineers said that the confer
ence would be mere formality, two
facts pointed toward compromise
based on the acceptance of the Is per
cent reduction in wages in return for
notifications Of working rules, They
are, first, the owners have considered
The notifications, and, second, Ii. II.
Raymond has remained in Washington
three days.
A few days ago the owners associa-
ton announced it would not sign
any agreement with going labor
unions, but yesterday the following
statement WAS issued by Mr.. Marvin:
cat general meeting of the Ameri
can Steamship Owners Association the
ship owners unanimously adopted a
declaration on the pending controversy
with the striking engineers and inter
national unions that will be presented
by President Raymond and the wage
committee tomorrow forenoon to Sec
retaries Davis and Hoover and Admiral
Benson in Washington. In the absence
Of President Raymond, David r. War
den, of the Tide Water Oil Company,
presided over the ship owners meet
ing"
Mr.. Marvin refused to discuss the
declaration further than to say that it
dealt with four working rules. He
added, however, that it would have no
bearing on the strike, and that the
owners would prosecute their policies
as before.
At the Offices of the seagoing local
Of the marine engineers association
it was said the conference to-day in
Washington would be merely formal
and that at its conclusion the strike
would be carried forward vigorously
1t was generally believed that the
strike would last at least another
month, union representatives said
1t is practically certain, however,
according to certain shipping officials,
able TO all sides will be reached in
Washington to-day. 1t is generally felt
that the changes in the working rules
arrived at yesterday by the owners are
in line with those already accepted by
Admiral Benson for the United States
Shipping Board, and which are ac-
ceptable to the marine engineers, 1t is
on these grounds that the possibility
of settlement is based
