The woodsmen were star witnesses
at a hearing held before a referee in a
private room at the bar association re-
Gently. Both told their stories under
oath and in the presence of attorneys
representing both Mrs. Stillman and
her multi-millionaire husband, James
A. Stillman, president of the National,
City Bank.
ThesA woodmen testified that Mrs.
Stillman and Fred Beauvais. the Indian
guide nsfned as correspondent in the
suit, were in the room at the time and
that the socially prominent woman
was not attired for street appearance.
One of them, in fact, told Of seeing
q flimsy garment. which he identified
as, a night gown, lying on the floor.

names as Pago, one of them being the
nephew of the other.
Another important witness heard by

about this care-free boy RACES a
struggle upon which hinges q fortune

The fact that the fight is now CEN
tering upon this little boy. whose pa

ments which are now brewing; II is
reported that the impression is grow
ing that neither Stillman nor his
wife will win a decree of divorce in
the present legal battle and that the
fight is narrowing down to an at
tempt upon the part of Mrs. "Fiff'
Stillman to prove the Legitimacy OF
her child and an effort upon the part
OF the husband to prove that Fred
Beauvais, the Canadian Indian CO.

thus depriving him of a share of the

Banker Stillman Is said to be de-

said by his friends to be determined
to leave nothing undone and to fight

BALTIMORE, March 25.-With a
definite date set for the funeral of
Cardinal Gibbons, preparations are
under way today for the reception Of
the distinguished clergy and laymen
who will be present at the last sad
rites.
BODY TO LIE IN STATE.
The body OF the late cardinal will
rest in the archiepiscopal residence
until late on Eastern sunday night.
II will then be removed to the Ca
thedral. where the body will lie in
state until the close OF the funeral
services Thursday.
The body will then be placed in a
niche in the crypt. under the high
altar. where 1t will remain so long
as the present Cathedral stands.
Ono of the questions settled follow
ing the death of Cardinal Gibbons is
that Baltimore will remain primatial
SEQ of the Catholic Church In the
United States. II was announced to-
day.
Baltimore probably will continue to
call the famous gray home at Null
berry and Charles streets "the Cardi-
nails residence" for many years. But
1t Is likely to be a long time before
permanent occupant another cardinal.

with elevation to the cardinalate. But,
with two American cardinals now. and
both on thed Atlantic seaboard, such

There have ben many rumors and
reports, within and without Catholic
circles, for years that Cardinal Glib

successor as archbishop Of Balti-

Of the province of Baltimore know
his wishes. There probably never
has been any ground for these ru-
mors other than the fact that, when
he found q clergyman in his juris-

the cardinal invariably encouraged
that clergyman with important as

BUREAU GIVES OUT
MORE DATA
1924 ILLITERATE PERSONS
IN THE STATE OF IDAHO
SAYS CENSUS BUREAU

According to the Census
Bureau, 35.3 per cent, or more
than one-third, of the people in
the state of Idaho are either in
fants or children Under Is years
of age; 8.9 per cent are youths
or maidens Is TO 10 years old /;
37.4 per cent, nearly two-fifths
are men and women in the prime
of life, being from 20 TO IA years
old; while 1873 pei cent, being As
years of age and over, are well
along in middle life if they have
not reach old age.
The urban population as COM
pared with the rural shows some
rather striking differences in
age, the percentage 20 to Al
years of age being 40.6 for the
urban population as compared
with 1852 for the rural, while
the percentage under Is years of
age is 30.4 in the urban popula-
ton as against 37.2 in the rural.
These differences may indicate
larger families of children in the
country than in the city, but pro-
badly indicate also the fact that
country children, as they grow
up have a tendency to flock to
the cities thereby increasing the
active adult population of the
cities at the expense of the rural
districts.
A little over one-half of the
population, SAP per cent, are old
enough to vote, being 81 or over
and in this calss the men out
number the women in the ratio
of 131 to 100. The males of mil
itary or fighting age, 18 to Al,
constitute 400 per cent of the
male population and 22.2 pei
cent of the total population.
! Another astonishing fact is
that 1924 persons 10 years OF
age and over in the state OF
Idaho, "illiterate" meaning un
able to write. OF this number
914 are native whites and 2,501
are foreign born. In the tota
population 10 years of age ant
over the percentage of illiteracy
is 1.5, which shows a diminutior
since 1910, when it was %.
By counties the percentage o.
illiteracy ranges all the way from
So in Clearwater county TO o..
in Jerome and Teton counties.

recovery of the bodies, although
