 posed tariff schedules.
 Among the speeches in advocacy of a protective tariff made today was one by Mir. Taylor, president of the Na- tional Mohair Growers Association.

Governor McRae has, after much time taken for deliberation, set Sep tcmber 2S as the time for ska execu- ton Of the six Elaine negroes, now held under sentence of death for mur- derous rieting. These blacks seem to have had every opportunity for de- .fense, the ease being taken thru all the available court processes in the effort to save their lives.

 GRANTED STAY
(Continued on Page six)

(Continued on Page Six) MT. Stillman's lawyers have been making a hard fight against Mrs. Stillman's alimony demands which was declared that MT. StiAnnan was
 already paying his wife $5,0O0 a | month. Attorneys for the wife said this amount was insufficient for her needs and was incompatible with the vast income of the multi-nillionaire banker.

 banker and Florence Leeds the TOT | official observation of the District l Attorney Swann.
 l No official action has been taken 1 but it was admitted that the District | ve1opments closely. It it was said | that if it was found that any illegal
 acts had been committed in New ork l county by the principals, in the scan | dal, legal action probably would fol- 1 low. There is an old law on the New | York statute books against adultery but it has never been enorced. An | assistant district attorney in discuss | ing this phase of the case, said: | "A person convicted of violation or | the article is punishable by imprison- 1 ment in the penitentiary or county jail I for not more than six months or by a fine of not more than $25O or both. A feature of the case has been the l number of letters received by Mrs.
 Stillman from women high Tn the
 ranks of society. These letters eX- | pressed sympathy for her and some | offered to furnish information on | which might help her.

Money Pours Into
 Committee For
 Relief in Ireland

 Contributions continue to pour Tn at headquarters of the American Committee for Relief in Ireland Tn increasing volume. While no definite compiIation of returns will be avail able until Monday noon, it is est1- mated so far that the Blessed Sacra- ment parish leads in the largest mum Der of individuals donating, with St. Patrick's next. In the contest for the largest total amount collected, St. Augustine's and Sacred Heart par ishes are so close that belated returns from some of the captains would put either parish in the lead.
 The committee has received num- erous calls from local business people asking that the amount that the com mittee feels should be given to the relief fund be stated. In each in- stance they have been told to donate what their hearts dictated, because the committee desires this to be a free will offering from the American people.
