Mrs. Potter regards Mrs. Stillman
very highly. 1t Is understood that u
was at the latter's suggestion that Mr..
Stilman took up his residence at the
St Regis In the early spring of 1918,
which period has become of the most
Importance In the suit. Mrs. Stillman
desired to live closer to her stepmother.
When Mr.. Potter left for Tuxedo, Mr..
Brennan and Mr.. Mack motored TO
Barrytown to see Supreme Court Justice

tained the jurist's signature 10 an order
of substitution, naming Mr.. Brennan as
counsel of record for Mrs. Stillman, in

Reports that the naming of Mr.. Bren-
nan as chief counsel meant the ultimate
withdrawal of Cadwalader. Wickersham
& Taft. and Stanchfield & Levy from
the suit were denied. 1t was stated
however, that from now on the two
latter firms will play less prominent
part but that other members of the firm
will help in presenting the evidence In
support of Mrs. Stillman's affirmative
defence" Mr.. Brennan will act as tria
lawyer at all future hearings in the

From reliable sources IL was learned
that the report will protest vehement

unhygtenic conditions found in many or
the older schools of the lower grades.
Many of them are said TO be In scan

roofs and skylights leak 50 that they
are unfit for occupancy. Others nave
rooms which are windowless. condi-
tion which the State laws inhibit In

others the ventilation systems are de-

Mr.. Nudd said the inquiry which IS
to be summarized in the Forthcoming
report had the approval Of DR.. William

DR.. Ettinger is out of the city. but one
OF his associates admitted there is nc
question whatever of the gravity of the
situation. The condition. he said. Is not
new one. and among 600 schools a
percentage always will be found that
are out of repair or out of date. Tho

AnyholD, He Isn't Helping
With HouseWork, She Says.

George Watson. the Richmond Hill
husband sentenced to find job or.
pending that, to help his wife with the
housework, appears to be stalling. So
said his wife yesterday. She complained
that although Watson at his second APP
pearance in Long Island City Magis-
trate's court last Thursday had been
severely reprimanded by Magistrate
Miller and ordered to keep a list OF all
places where he applied for work, and
to keep on applying until he SHARED a
job. he was not bestirring himself much
In the chase for employment.
Privately, said his wife. Watson has
other views.
"I think he is only fooling," Mrs
Watson asserted, He left the house
at 1880 o'clock this mornins. and when
I asked him If he was going to lool
for work he turned around and snapped
out that he could get six months In the
workhouse and have six months more

Watson is due to make a report of
progress in court next Thursday.

NEW EVIDENCE FOUND
Lawyer Hastens to Toledo

for Testimony.
BRENNAN CHIEF COUNSEL
Change Made in Attorneys for
Defence-COurt Signs
Necessary Order.

Special Despatch to THE New YORK HERALD.
PouGHKEEpsIE, June 4.-James Brown
Potter New York banker and father
of Mrs. Anne Urquhart Potter Still
man, who arrived here Thursday from
Europe, will be one of the principal
witnesses in the defence of his daugh-
ter and particularly of his grandson
Guy stillman. Mr.. Potter's testimony
it was reliably reported tonight, will
disprove the charge Of James A. Still
man, former president of the National
City Bank that Baby Guy is not his
son.
Mr.. Potter came to Poughkeepsie
early this morning to have talk with
John z. Mack, guardian of his grand
son. 1t was the first meeting between
Mr.. Potter and Mr.. Mack. John Bren-
nan of Yonkers. chief counsel for Mrs
Stillman. joined them in the after
noon and the three went over the evi
dence in the divorce suit. Mr.. Potter
later met reporters.
The banker made it plain that he had
the utmost confidence in the innocence
OF his daughter. He did not minct
words in speaking of the former head
of the National City Bank. Mr.. Potter
and his wife, who formerly was one
Of the famous Langhorne sisters OF
Virginia, will take the witness stand ant
testify that Mr. and Mrs. Stilman lived
together as man and wife in the st
Regis Hotel during the latter part oi
February, 1918. This was ten months
before the birth Of Guy.
What Mr.. Potter told Mr. Mack and
Mr.. Brennan is said to have been some
what of a surprise to the lawyers 1t is
understood that Mr.. Potter told of valu-
able evidence the existence of which has
not hitherto been known. 1t is consid-
cred of such Importance that member
of the guardians legal staff motored to
Tuxedo this evening with Mr.. Potter to
obtain the facts.
Mr.. Potter is a man in his sixties. He
Ia. about six feet. with steel gray hair
and stubby gray mustache. His large
frame shook with anger as he spoke of
