DISPUTE WITH GUIDE
CHANGED DOCTOR

BUFFALO, n. Y, May DIR. Hugh
l.. Russell, Buffalo osteopath and star
witness for James A. Stilmsn in his
suit for divorce, was sympathetic to-
ward Mrs. Stillman and her children
up to month ago, when his senti-
ments suddenly changed. II was de-
clared today by II. Phelps Clawson,
close friend of the Stillman family
and OF DR.. Russell.
"Dr. Russell said that it was ter.
rible, some of the things Mrs. Still
man said about her husband" de-
clared Clawson. "Scenting trouble
some months ago, Mrs. StillmAn
wanted to know how DR.. Russell
stood upon the matter. At her re-
quest, 1 spoke to DR.. Russell last
July. He said he would do anything
he could for Mrs. Stillman and her
children. He said he would shed
his last drop OF blood for them.
asked him IL he meant what he said
and he gave me his word OF honor.
He has done 'awfully wei, hasn't
her He surely had done all he could
for them, hasn't her.
1t was through Clawson that DR..
Russell attended members of the
Stillmsn family. Later he treated
numbers OF the Rockefeller family.
Clawson understood that DIR. Russell
had dispute of some kind with Fred
Beauvais tthe correspondent in the
Stillman case) over some insurance.
1T was after that he turned against
Mrs. Stillman.
Buffalo osteopaths united in con-
demning the action of DR.. Russell In
revealing the communications that
had passed between himself and a
patient while the latter was under
treatment.
TT was a violation of professional
ethics and I think Il was pretty rot
ten" said DIR. Walter w. steele.
1T was the wrong thing to do
baid Dr. f. c. Lincoln, secretary of
the Buffalo Osteopathy Society
Leading osteopsthS said that the
possibility OF preferring charges
against DIR. Russell might be dis
oLssed at the next meeting Of the
Buffalo ostsopath Society.

Text of Note Accepting
Allied Council Seat

The tert of the American note to
the British ambassador accepting the
Allied Supreme Councils invitdtio''
10 the United States to send q rep.
reSentutiue to the body fottoacs:
The Government of the United
States has received through the
British ambassador the courteous
communication In which you state
that. with the unanimous concur
renee of the powers represented at
the allied conference in London,
you are to inquire whether this
Government is disposed to be repre-
sented In the future. as IL was in
the past, at the allied conference,
at the conferences of ambassadors
In Paris and on the reparations
commission.
The Government of the United
States, while maintaining the ira
ditional policy OF abatention from
participation in matters Of dist inct-
ly European concern, is deeply in
terested in the proper economic ad-
justment and in the just settlement
of the matters OF worldwide i'm
portance which are under discus
sion in the conferences, and desires
helpfully to cooperate in the de-
liberation upon these questions.
Mr.. George Harvey, appointed
amba ass ador to Great Britain, will
be instructed on his arrival in Eng
land to take part, as the repre-
sentative of the President OF the
United States, in the deliberations
OF the Supreme Council. The Ameri
can ambassador to France will be
instructed to resume his place as
unofficial observer at the confer
ences Of ambassadors. and Mr..
Roland w. Boyden will be in
structed to sit again in an un-
official capacity on the reparstions
commission.
The Government OF the United
States notes with pleasure your ex-
preston of the belief OF the repre-
sentatives of the allied govern
ments assembled in London, that
American cooperation IN the settle
ment of the great international
question growing out of the world
war will be of material assistance.

MONTREAL. May THE Dearest

written by Fred Beauvais to idrs.
James E. Stillman. was doctored be-
fore it was introduced in evidence,
the Indian guide says.
Beauvais asserts that all that part
Of the text which refers to the baby.
and which breathes love for the mil
lionaire's wife, was inserted after the
letter left his hands. He even dis
claims the handw ritine.
When a reproduction OF the letter
was shown to him. he said
some one else wrote that. never
wrote love letter to Mrs. Stillman
at any time. ] did write to her con-
Cerning the purchases ] made at FER
direction. bought the things she
wanted with money she deposited to
my credit for that purpose, and wrote
her saying they were being sent on.
But that is all"
and said he regretted he was unable
to go to New York and testify in
Mrs. Stillman's behalf. He said lie
was certain IL would clear her. lie
added:
But they have not sent for M.
When they do, II they do, I will, he
ready. In the meanwhile my brother
Arthur will tell them what he knows.
Mrs. Stillman's enemies are spend

Stillman's were there. He was there
with my family, but never at anly

CRAZY ALLIES
BL0CKHARD|NG
Divided Senate Also Hampers
President in Clearing Euro
pean Chaos, Hapgood Says.
By NORMAN HAPGOOD.

The attitude of the Administration
toward foreign affairs is simply that
1t will do as much as it can without
future commitments.
In practice this maens that it
will do as much as It can without
getting into a fight with the ire
concilables. 1t has . notion that it
can do just about is much in
formally as it could formally.
TRIES TO CLEAR MESS.
From the moment the present Ad-
ninistration took charge, I have
insisted that the President was de-
termined to play a leading role in
STRENGTHENING out the mess aboard.
Fjs reasons have been easy to un-
derstand, whether one accepted them
or not. For my part, I accept them.
but / am not the United States SEN
ate.
His reasons are. briefly. two. He
believes that our own welfare can
not be separated from stability in
Europe. He also believes that he is
In an exceptionally favorable posi-
ton to point the road to that sta
bility.
Murmurings from Capitol Hill
force him to do 1t informally in
stead of formally. He and Mr..
hughes are now scouting around
seeing just what steps they can
safely take to keep in touch and
give a needed hint here and there.
Mr.. Harding and Mr.. Hughes have
a difficulty to face even greater
than the active hostility of part OF
the Senate. 1t is the insanity of
the victors in Europe.
SEES NO SENSE IN 1T.
Imagine the state Of mind OF q
bunch Of statesmen who can make
the trial of war criminals" part
of their ultimatum. There Is no
sense in that. no softening, no solu-
tion, just face saving, on the level
With the boy and the chip on his
shoulder.
The first term OF this ultimatum
calls on Germany to disarm further.
II is q question of fact whether she
rection. Certainly the tone OF the
victors is not making It easier for
her.
The French have themselves to
thank for the way the Poles are be-
having in Silesia. and they are now
apparently beginning, . little late,
TO do some worrying.
As to the second article. the pay
rlent that was due May ], that
again is question Of fast. and
the difficulty is that we have no
suitable body to decide these things,
no body that takes a long distance
and impartial view. The view taken
is nothing but old-fashioned victor
psychology.
HARDING SEEKS RIGHT WAY.
During the world war q pictures
que role WAS played by a fighting
ship called the Scharnhorst. That
ship was named for the man who
thought out a method by which Ma
poieon's limitation OF the size OF the
Prussian army could be turned into
a source OF military strength.
Instead of having a standing army
after the fashion of the time, he in
vented the idea Of meeting Napoleon's
limitation on the size OF the Prussian
army by constantly changing the
members of that army. so that Prus-
sia soon became a nation of soldiers,
and the modern system Of universal
training began.
The probability OF making errors
similar in spirit and equally disas-
trous Is what the Harding admins
tration wishes to prevent * It can.
1t has no bugey-ride, for It is deal
ing with divided Senate at home
and with a bunch of crazy politicians
on the other side.
