airs. StiIIman Brings Testimony
to Prove Husbands DupIicity.
Army of Process Servers Out
Rounding Up Witnesses.

Poughkeepsie, n. Y, July 13.-Just
before hearings in the Stillman divorce
suit were resumed here before Referee
Gleason. a small army of subpoena
servers was sent out by the legal camp
for Mrs. Fiji" Potter Stillman on a
hunt for twelve new witnesses, upon
whom the defense pins hope for i'm
portant testimony for the defense.
John F. Pope, chief process server
for Mrs Stillman's counsel, left imme-
diately for Pennsylvania, where most
of the witnesses sought are reported
TO be. Most of them were formerly
employees at the Stillman estate at
Mondena. on Long Island.
The defense expects their testimony
to help refute James A. Stillman's
contention that he was not in his
wifes company for nearly year prior
to the birth OF little Guy. whose pa
ternity Stillman has repudiated.
3 The defense is expected to open its
presentation of testimony this after
noon.
One of the first witnesses for Mrs
Stillman to arrive was James K. Ir-
win, an empIoye of the office of secre-
tary of state at Albany who brought
with him Photographic records of
automobile licenses issued to Franklin
II. Leeds and to James A. Stllman.
Mrs. Stillman has charged in her
answer to the multimilionaire's suit
for divorce that Franklin H. Leeds and
James A. Stillman are one and the
same man, and her attorneys were
prepared to introduce the photo
graphic records in an effort to show
that the signatures on the automobile
licenses were written by the same

MANY WOMEN WORK HERE
Three Fourths of Number in Kansas
Industries Help Support Families.

Three Fourths of Number in Kansas
Industries Help Support Families.
Three-fourths of Kansas women in
industry work not merely to earn pin
money for themselves but to help
support their families. This fact is
revealed by a recent survey conducted
by the women's bureau of the United
States department OF labor in cooper
alton with Miss Lima Bresette, direc-
tor of women's work in the court of
industrial relations.
The survey shows that 80 per cent
are contributing all of their earnings,
Sc per. cent give a part of their earn
ings, ranging from less than 81 to
more than $40 a week, and PAS per
cent make no contributions to the
family and are independent of any
financial responsibility to the home
AS the weekly earnings increase in
amount, the per cent of those not con-
tributing to the family decreases.
more than one-half OF the women
earning from SIS to $25 are contrib
uting all their earnings to the family
while about Is per cent in the same
wage group contribute nothing. OF
those contributing part of their earn
ings the greater portion are giving
from SIS to IS a week. probably con-
sidered the equivalent of board only.
Only per cent of all the women
for whom payroll information was OBJ
tanned are responsible for the entire
support of others. The average num-
Der of persons dependent on each of
these women is 1.76. The 266 women
in this class are entirely responsible
for the support of "A parents 6 ia
theirs and Sc mothers). 81 husbands,
329 children and 33 other relatives.
Individual cases show that three
women receiving $3.50 to SO week
are each supporting two children,
which means three living on this
amount. One mother supporting four
children receives a weekly income of
only 50 to $40, and one woman earn
ing from $17.5o to $40 a week is sup

tinued Until 800 Mark Is Reached.
With more than $50 booster bulletin
boards already assured, the Topeka
Merchants association has decided to
continue its campaign until the 500
mark has been reached. That this
goal will be attained is believed GER
tain, since the merchants and business
men generally are now giving their
orders, instead of having to be So
licited. Several executive heads OF
firms are out of the city, enjoying
themselves at summer resorts. Some
of these have asked the trade extern
sion committee to wait until they re-
turn before closing the campaign.
Already the following firms have
signed contracts for boards: Palace
Clothing company, HARLAN Furniture
company. Cremerie restaurant, Flad &
Marsh, druggists; Machinists Electric
company, Crosby Brothers company.

In addition to the above named
firms as many more have Signifled
their intention of taking booster
boards. The wholesale and manufac-
turing interests. together with the
banks and insurance companies have
not been solicited.
Several bankers and insurance men
are contemplating joining with the re-
tailers III advertising Topeka to the
trade territory. thru one of the most
comprehensive advertising campaigns

Indications are that the campaign

so greatly overshadowed that the city

other method to compete with the
