ton against Francis S. Palermo, of the

from me, as agent or vice-president of
The Palermo & Son Contracting Com
pany, four-room apartment belonging
Go the company at 120 Convent Avenue.
"She invited me often to her apart
8ment, and eventually we became very
good friends. We became more than
friends. Plaintiff eventually was the
cause of my legal separation from my
first wife, who died in the summer Of
1914. In 1915, not realizing that she
was an adventures of the worst type, I
married her"

cation and learned that after her d.
worce from Jack Henry, newspaper
man, Mrs. Palermo lived in New York
and Canada with William Bramwill, an
actor, the two passing as husband and
wife.
4 Mrs. Palermo in a counter affidavit
denied the allegations made by her hus-
band. and said she would disprove them
on the trial of her action.

Faterno for separation at the time of
her death

possibility of his expulsion as a mem
Der of this society"
The rule quoted from the code Of
ethics Of the American Osteopathic AS
ISOLATION and the New York Osteopathic
Society, Chapter ], Section 2, follows:
THE osteopathic physician is bound
to keep secret whatever he may hear or
observe while in the discharge of his
professional duty respecting the pri-
vate affairs of the patient or his fam
lily, and his obligation is not limited to
the period during which the physician
is in attendance on the patient. The
patient should be made to feel that he
has in his physician friend who will
guard his secrets with scrupuious honor
and fidelity"
DR.. Francesca Sauchelli, chiroprac-
tor, of 2025 Broadway, said that SO far
as he had been able to discover, Dr..
Russell was not enrolled as a chiro-
practor and expressed the opinion that
if he WAS, he wayin danger of expul-
zion by reason of the testimony he had
given.
Several physicians in Buffalo, Dr.
RusselPs home city,, announced their
intention of asking the Erie County
Medical Society to investigate the in
cident and DR.. John d. Bonnar, chair
man of the society's board of censors,
admitted that the investigation already
had started.

Youth of FL Arrested i'm
$l25, 600 Stocks Theft
Traced Through Girl, Metal
Worker Says He Burned Sc
curities Roy Gave Him

Jack Silver, twenty-one years old, q
sheet and metal worker, AIT Pennsylva-
MIA Avenue, Brooklyn, was arrested last
night as he was entering the Hudson
Terminal, on charge of grand larceny.
He is suspected of being implicated in
the theft of $125,000 worth of railroad
stocks from the firm of Fl. G. Duval
e. Co, IA Broadway, on April 20.
According to detectives attached to
the Old Slip police station, Silver ad-
mitted receiving the stocks, but told con-
fiicting stories of how he had disposed
of them. When he was arrested he was
accompanied by young woman whom
the police had been trailing for several
days.
The first story that Silver is alleged
to have told the police was that he
had given the stocks to two men whom
he had never seen before and who he
was sure he would be unable to iden-
tify. Later he said that he received
the stocks from young boy, and after
from the H. c. Duyal Company he de-
stroyed them. Pressed for details as
to the manner in which he had de-
stroyed the stocks Silver is alleged
to have told the detectives that he
went to secluded spot in Van Cort-
landt Park, where he burned the
stocks one by one.
After taking the prisoner to the
park and asking him to point out the
location where he had burned the
stocks the detectives said they were
convinced that the man had not dis
posed of them in this way.
Silver was taken back to Police
Headquarters, where he was locked
up for the night.

cii's report to the annual convention OF
the Federation in Denver.
The council, it was learned, will ask
the Federation to indorse the work of
the Federation,s special committee on
cooperative societies and give its full
support to the movement, which al
ready has gained hesdwsy in the
central states.
Not only can we reduce the cost
of living" said James Duncan, of
Quincy, Mass, vice-president of the
Federation, ~through cooperative socie-
ties, but we can eliminate profteering.
We can check it so far as it affects
the purchase OF the necessaries of life
and the costs thereof now controlled

The council, it was learned, disap-
proves the Johnson Dillingham; immi-
grafton bill, just passed by Congress,
because it does not contain the drastic
prohibitive features desired by organ

tion that at least two years prohibi-

adjust after-war industrial conditions
and prepare the country for q new

The council also has under consid-

by legislation the repeal of all anti

laws will be asked.
Seeking Fundamental Rights
sWe don't ask any special privilege"
said an official of the executive council.
ssWe only desire the safeguards set up

repeal of all so-called differentiation
and conspiracy laws"
President Samuel Gompers said that
the report being prepared by the COM
mittee was being prepared with view
of protecting the fundamental rights

of the United States"

Stlllman are confident that Russell's
testimony will not be affected under
the most griiiing of cross-axnmina-
lions.
A person connected with the case dis
cussed the testimony of Russell last
night saying it was among tho out
standing cases of interest In modern
Jurisprudence. He said:
Il know of no precedent for such tes-
timony in divorce eases, but il is not
the first time that tho distinction mas
been brought up between a doctor talk
Ing as q physician to his patient and
the same doctor talking rs friend OF
his patient.
ut can be traced back to a similar
though not parallel case, that Of
Green VS.. the Metropolitan Railway
Company-17lst New York. In this
case a physician was permitted to mar
rate certain heresay testimony, which
consisted of q conversation Of his pa
tient not necessary to the treatment of
the case by the physician.
There is no real test which will
positively prove the parentage of a
child. The testimony of the mother
herself cannot be positive proof
I'm this case the element of hysteria
enters. A mother in the delicacy of
her condition is not in good health.
Her brain is not in normal condition,
or, at least, its normal condition may
be questioned. If her letters show a
hysterical turn, this is evidence of her
temporary alteration.
Personally have no doubt that the
alleged admissions of Mrs. Stillman in
this regard could ba satisfactorily ex-
planned by experts"
Among the experts to BIO called is
DR.. George Card, of Poughkeepsie, who
said: II have been looking up some
matters for Mrs. Stillman and ex-
pect to be called as witness later"
1t Is known that at least twenty
witnesses will be called by the defense
to disproye testimony and evidence
that Guy Stillman is the son of Fred
Beauvais, Indian guide" Arthur
Beauvais, brother of Fred who is in
New York to assist Mrs. Stillman's
counsel in their examination of Canad-
ian witnesses, expressed confidence last
night that his brother would be vim

80 percent of burglary and embez-
Element losses are not insured, and
that in many instances where full
claims were paid, the insurance was
far too small to cover the actual
losses.
Every war is followed by wide
spread disrespect of law, Joyce
says Cynical thoughts of the cheap
ness of human life. indifference to
human suffering and disregard of
others rights are aftermaths of
armed conflict.
Agitators find more ready field
for the spread of their doctrines.
This has two-fold effect; more
people actually come to believe
principles of discomfort and many,
though not actually believing, find
fancied justification in these doc
trines for acts of lawlessness in
volving property.
War Brings Discomfort.
The spread. of discomfort during
and after the World war was great
ly augmented by the oft-repeated
reports of enormous profits piled up
during the war. Men ask why these
war profiteers" should live in lux
ury while they are hard pressed for
enough to live on?
Two other factors in the discon-
tent are the belief in the unequal
distribution of wealth, caused by
the reports of enormous fotations
of investment securities during and
after the war; and the vulgar dis
play of valuables in public places.
The former leads many to the be
lief that they are not getting their
share of the tremendous wealth Of
the country. The latter causes re-
sentiment among the unfortunate
and is also a bait that tempts tC
robbery and makes it easy.

The wrong attitude engendered by
the war, must be changed, he says.
A long step in this direction can
be made by finding jobs for the un-

The disrespect for law has been
aided by the prohibition law, Joyce
believes. Many who would not
think of stealing mans money
or jewelry make no bones about
taking liquor. This naturally leads
to thefts of other things as we'll.
Extravagant living standards
cannot today be maintained in many
