Fiji P0TTER
REFUSES TO
BELIEVE
PLOT
Says Man Hired for $25, 900
to Kill Her Must Be De-
ranged. Woman is Heav-
lily Guarded.

CHICAGO, Aug. 20.-Mrs. "Fifi'
Potter Stillman, who is under guard
at the home of Harold F. Mccormick
refused to believe reports from Kansas
City that a plot had been made against
her life.
When she was informed of the al
| legged conspiracy in which $25,0O0 is
said to have been offered to get her
out of the way, she said
81 cant believe it. The man who
told of such a conspiracy must be de-
ranged"
Mrs. Stillman is suffering from a
nervous breakdown as a result of the
strain she underwent during the hear
ing of her divorce suit from James A.
Stillman, former president of the Ma
tional City Bank of New York.
When she heard the details Of an
alleged confession by man named
Sam Harris in Kansas City, who said
he was a New York gunman, she an
swered: %as
81 think my life is just as safe dur
ing the life of this alleged plot as it
always has been. Many peculiar things
have happened to me in the last 13
months. | have accused James Still
man of a great many things but l am
certain that no one ever connected with
my domestic difficulties had anything
to do with this scheme-even il such
weird idea ever became rooted in a
neurotic mind"
On the strength of the story guards
were thrown about the Mccormick
home tonight as precautionary meas
ure.'
Harris is being held by the Kansas
City police, who are Investigating his
story.
According to the tale Harris told
the Kansas City authorities today,
Mrs. Stillman was to have been way
laid on the Pelham Bay road New
York, slain and her body cast into
Long Island sound.
Harris said he was first approached
on the subject by man called Henry
the Pole" McCloskey. twenty-five thou
sond dollars was to have been the re
ward for the killing. McCloskey had
already received $500, Harris said.

Nationwide Campaign for
Restoration of Wine and
Beer Reaches Southern
California. Parade in s, :.

The nationwide fight started in the
east few weeks ago for the return
OF hight wines and beers to the daily
regimen of those who desire their use.
has reached this section of California
and the first demonstration will be
made in San Diego.
"A wet" parade through the streets
OF that city, with hundreds marching
as protest against prohibition is the
plan of Ray Logan, II. A Jenkins and
n. q. = Nichols, field representatives of
the, Sanity League of America, who
nave arrived there and have opened
temporary headquarters in the Knirk-
booker hotel building. Permission to
hold the parade will be asked of the
San Diego council next Monday. and
If obtained, the demonstration will
be held some afternoon of next week.
A national campaign for the return
OF light wines and beer, and against
blue laws and other oppressive meas
ures is being waged by the Sanity
League. which was recently organized
under the laws of the state of Califor
MA. The three representatives will be
IN San Diego for several weeks in an
effort to get members for the league.
The proposed parade will be part of
the membership campaign.
The Sanity League proposes to cir
culate big petition to congress in
which plea will be made for the leg
allzation of the sale of light wines and
beer as beverages. Congressman Jul
lus Kahn of California, the leagues
representative at Washington, has
drawn the petition which is to be pre-
sented to the national government, af.
ter 1t has received the necessary mum.
Der of signatures. 1t is to finance the
campaign for signatures that a mem
bership drive is being waged here and
all over the country.
The theory on which the Sanity
league is waging it's fight is that it
is not necessary to repeal the 18th
amendment to the constitution in or
der to legalize the sale of light wines
and beer The supreme court, promo
ters of the anti-prohibition organiza-
ton say. has decided that congress
can amend the Volstead act so as to
accomplish this, providing it is DEM
onstrated that a majority of the voters
OF the country are in favor of such
action. This demonstration the Sanity
league hopes to make with its petition
which is expected to be signed by mil
lions of voters.
The league is said to oppose the
re-opening of saloons.

Mississippi and New York, leaving
Puget Sound Navy Yard here August
% on their annual fullpower, endur-
ance and smoke prevention trials i'm
a spirited race to San Francisco.
On the race, all machinery will be
tested to its maximum to see if it
will stand the demands of war service
and also to train the engine room
crews in steaming at high speed. The
trial is expected to bring forth the
keenest rivalry between the crews

The competition between these big
ships of war will be in part for the
trophy given by the navy department

ton for the best record in daily oper-
ating efficiency and in the annual
speed results. In this competition,
standard penalties for casualties to
uneconomical operating

Competition in o. the engineering
department is similar to the tests in

ANTI BEER BILL
IN FAIR WAY Of
BECOMING LAW
Confeyees of Congress More In
cIined to Agree to VOIstedd's
VieUS of Measure.

WASHINGTON, Aug. 20-Senate
and house conference are reported to
be virtually agreed on contested points
in the anti-beer bill and hopeful of
final enactment of the measure prior
to the recess set for Wednesday.
While the conferees declined to in
dicate the nature of the agreement,
their practical adjustment Of differen-
ces was taken to mean at least par
tial rejection of the Stanley amend
|n:ent designed to protect the home
against indiscriminate search for
liquor, in view of the known desire of
Representative Volstead to "throw the
beer bill overheard" rather than ac-
cept the amendment rs originally
drawn and passed unanimously by the
senate.
That part of the Stanley proposal
relating to search of mans dwell
ing was said to have been retained
however.
Mr.. Volstead's chief objection to
it as a whole was based ON the
ground that to require warrant to
search an automobile or other prop
crty would make rigid enforcement
of national prohibition ineffective.
AS explained by one of the. con-
ferees, the proposed compromise is
on the basis of about an even split on
the Stanley amendment, part of which
will be retained and the other part
enacted.
Mr.. Volstead, however, has held
firm to his determination not to ac-
cept the provision requiring warrants
to search automobiles, for example,
contending that "they are the heart
of the bootlegging traffic" In
standing out for elimination of this
feature of the amendment, house
prohibition leaders admitted the pos
sibility of decided senate opposition,
but despite that they are said to be
to take that as a whole.

The witness will testify, it is said. that he discovered Mrs. Leeds run- ming down the deck of the yacht one morning dressed only in a kimono and slippers. and that she casually remarked to him that she had seen somebody's feet sticking out of the stateroom."
 Regarding this visit it also will be brought out that members of the crew happened to be walking along a passageway and, glancing into MT. stillman's cabin through partly opened door, he saw woman said to be Mrs. Leeds. It will be stated she had her arms around MT. Stillman's s neck and was kissing him.
 To Tell of Several Parties.
 A chauffeur who will be among the first witnesses called, is expected to tell what happened in the home of the former chorus girl when MT. Leeds'' was away. Trips to the Cafe de Paris, Castles by the Sea and other well known places where the parties continued into the early hours of the morning, and at which large quanti ties of a forbidden fluid" apparently were consumed. will be described. An attractive young man. who seemed to be very attentive to Mrs. Leeds, will Le mentioned in this testim ony. The defence will try to show that the cor l respondent was sharing her affections with other than MT. Leeds.'
 The domestic life of MT and Mrs. l Franklin H. Leeds'' was one quarrel i after another, it will be brought out in l the testimony. Servants will tell ot those squabbles, and one in particular is expected to testify that MT. Leeds and 'her husband drank a lot o1 1 champagne and fought almost night iy.' A large amount of broken glass
 invariably was found about these al- l ieged differences of opinion.
 Mrs. Leeds demonstrated herself tc
 De a loving daughter on more thar one occasion. A chauffeur will tell ot her having bought "a canary in 8 cage for her mother, and of his hav- ing been directed to go uptown to take her father out for a ride. Mrs. Leeds directions to the chauffeur always
 were short and to the point. One o1
 these was: "Go uptown and give poI the air.
 1 Whenever MT. Leeds went motoring
 with the chorus girl the top of the cal
 was pulled down and the side curtains were drawn closely. It is said the ex- planation given for this desire not tc
 be seen was that being in the secret
 service it was best everybody should
 not know him."
