that the directing genius of the recent
peace negotiations" was Cyrus Nc
Cormick. president OF the International
Harvester Company and son-in-law OF
John d. Rockefeller. II was Mr. Ms

this trip with her oldest son. James A.

accompanied by two men. One OF these
was said to be Harold Fowler McCor-
mick and the other Percy A. Rockefel-
Ter. brother-in-law OF Mr.. Stillman. Now
II develops IL was not Mr.. Rockefeller
but the elder Mr.. Mccormick. Although
the peace negotiations failed and there Is
no present indication they will be re-
sumed. II can be stated authoritatively
that Mr.. Stillman is Obtaining a full
measure OF support from the Mccormick
family and through them from the
Rockefelers. II is understood to be the
desire of the Rockefellers to have the
suit stopped. and the hope still is being
entertained that basis for an amicabe
settlement will be found.

going ahead for resumption Of the

the stand again. When he testified

incidental details John r. Mack. guard
ian for Guy Stillman. reserved the right
TO cross examine him. II Is generally
understood Mr. Mack will exercise this

lions with Mrs. Leeds and the nine other
women TO be named this week.
An effort will be made TO have all OF
the alleged correspondents present when
this happens.
