Special Despatch TO THE New York HERALD.
PoUoHKEEPsIE, Dec. 6.-The defence
of Baby Guy Stillman was rested to-
day by John f. Mack, the infants legal
guardian, after a former servant IN
the Stillman home at PleaSantville
swore Mr.. and Mrs. James A. Stillman
were living together In January. 1918
ten months before Guy was born. This
testimony was in contradiction of the
statements Of Mrs. Percy A. Rookie
feller, the bankers sister, who swore
last spring her brother lived at the
residence Of their father, East Sew
enty-second street. New York city
from January to March, 1918.
Lawyers for both sides agreed to 60
before Justice Morschauser Saturday
and ask fer the appointment Of spe-
cial commission to take testimony IN
Canada. The first hearing Will be held
in Montreal on January IL. 1t will re-
quire at least three days, 1t is be-
lieved, to hear thirty witnesses the
defence proposes calling.
An adjournment of the hearings In this
State until January II was agreed upon.
It was thought the special commission
will have completed its work by then.
On that day the suit will be left In the
hands Of Daniel J. Gleason, referee, for
decision II Mr. Mack and John F. Bren-
nan, chief counsel for Mrs. Stillman,
do not decide to call further witnesses,
as they have reserved the right to do.
Recalls Seeing StilImsn.
Miss Mary J. Sullivan. a servant for
family living at ID East Sixty-ninth
street. was the last witness for Baby
Guy. Her statements were found to be
In conflict with those of Mrs. Rookie
Teller. She testified that she was en-
ployed in the Stillman home at Pleasant
Vile, first as an assistant cook and
later as cook, between December II, 1917.
and a few days after st. Patrick's Day.
1918.
Miss Sullivan remembered distinctly
that some time between the Christmas
HOLIDAYS and February 10, when tho
Stillman family left for New York city,
Mr. Stillman walked from the dining
room, through the kitchen to the but
ler's pantry to telephone. She also
recollected that on or about February
10 she had heard Miss Anne Stillman
was ill.
An attempt was made to have Miss
Sullivan testify she saw Mr.. Sthlman
in the Pleasantville home on February
10 and that she had prepared meals for
him several times during January and
February, but it was ruled out as hear
say evidence on the objection of Will
lam Rand, one of the bankers lawyers.
Miss Sullivan, however, said she re-
rnen1bered that DR.. Hugh L. Russell.
Buffalo osteopath. was at the house be-
cause the servants were jesting over
the possibility Of the osteopath treating
them.

CriminaIity Denied.

In making public the letter Erwin
Morse said he and his brother had re-
quested Mr.. Lambert, their attorney, to
address 1t to Mr.. Gordon for the reason
that each knew there had been no crimi-
mai action in connection with the ship
building industries Of the company In
which they and their father were in
terested. Erwin Morse added:
"On a complete investigation It would
be clearly demonstrated that the Fleet
Coz poration was indebted to those COM
panies in very large sums of money.
Tho civil litigation brought by the ship
building companies Morse is connected
with to determine the amount Of his in
debtedness has been pushed as fast as
has been possible"

WAS EXPECTED TO PROTEST
Customary at One Time for Speaker
OF House Of Commons TO Re-
sist Appointment.

In one respect newly appointed
speaker of the British house OF com
mons may congratulate himself that
there has been an abandonment Of
some OF the old customs, for he Is
no longer expected TO make an elabor-
nte pretense Of unwillingness to accept
his great Office.
This pretense was carried TO great
lengths Mt one time, and the cere-
mony took on some points of likeness
10 the bridal customs of savage coun-
tries, for the speaker was expected to
make n show even Of physical re-
sistance when led to the chair
1t was not an original custom Of the
house. Far back In history II appears
that speakers protested to the house
and to the crown against their elec-
tion only when they really did not
want to be appointed. II seems to
have been under the Tudors that n
ridiculous slibservience was imported,
and II was expected Of the speaker,
that he should make repeated ex-
cuses and declare himself unworthy of
election"

Il Is Hard to Be Accurate.

Can you exactly describe what you
see? If you can, you are cleverer
than most persons. A book recently
published In Paris relates that at a
meeting Of scientific men two Of them
suddenly began to quarrel. Under
pretense Of obtaining legal evidence
the president of the meeting asked
everyone present . write an exact
report of what had happened. The
quarrel was pure piece of acting
arranged to test the powers of OBJ
servatlon Of the men present.
Though the assembly was composed
entirely of jurists, psychologists and
doctors, only one report contained
less than 20 per cent of error IL re-
ports had more than so per cent
wrong; and in "a reports from 10 to
Is per cent of the details were wholly
imaginary. When men of science can
50 err we can understand how easily
the ordinary man can go astray. The
story shows why lawyers value cir.
cumstantial evidence so highly

Mo Divorce In Great Russia.

70 the peasants of Great Russia
marriage is a tie that death alone can
sever, and divorce by the help of law
courts is practically unknown to
them If the husband and wife can
not get along together they simply
agree between themselves to live
apart, the husband taking the boys
and the wife the girls, in cases where
there are any children. In spite Of
the fact that there is no recourse to
the courts, however, husband and wife
in Great Russia do not know each 9th
er before marriages except in rlre in
stances. The selection is made by
the parents or guardians, and 1t Is un-
seemingly for the bridegroom to see
the bride more than once before the
nuptials.

Cultivate Distinct Speech.

Let us consider clear and distinct
enunciation as contMsted with other
kinds. Talking distinctly is one of the
finest of human accomplishments. The
Association of the Hard Of Hearing, at
recent meeting, urged the cultiva-
tion of llp-reading by those Inclined
to deafness. Talking with the lips is
as good for those wholtalk as 1t is for
those who listen. The finest and clear
est enunciation is by those who enun-
ciate with the lower( lip and the
tongue, instead Of by wagging their
Jaws and talking through their noses.
Avoid masticating your spoken words,
and that besetting Yankee sin-the
nasal twang Boston Globe.
