STANDARD OIL HAS BOUGHT
LARGE AREA IN ROCKLAND
Purchases Along the Hudson River Near Piermont in
the Last Seven Years Give Company 1900
Acre Tract Of Valuable Land

The Standard or Company was re-
vealed yesterday as the purchaser of a
big tract of and on the Hudson at
Sparkill. N. Y. twenty-four miles north
of Jersey City end near Piernont There
has been much mystery regarding pur-
chases in the vicinity for me last seven
years. Not until the deed was filed yes
terday by Judge Oswald A. Bauer in
the seat OF Rockland county, New City,
was the identity of the purchaser known.
Buying on n big scale or the land be-
tween the Hudson and the West Shore
Railroad began several wars ago with
the purchase Of a tract of swamp and
woodland from the deep water on the
Hudson back for mile and three-quar-
ters to the railroad property
Efforts to buy all the adjoining prop
erty then were made and kept up sys-
tematically for years. All the owners
in the vicinity received whatever prices
they asked. no matter how far in
excess of actual values they might be.

WILD MAN ATTACKS
GIRL ALONE IN HOME
WestwOOd Women Warned to
Keep Off Streets-WOOds
Searched by Posses.

The home of Walter NJ. Haws, a
n. J., is heavily guarded by the police,
who have warned women and children
of the Westwood district to keep off
the streets at night. Detectives and
woods near by for an unkempt man who
entered the home of Mr.. Haws on Sat-
urday night and attacked his seventeen
year-old daughter. Marjorie. The man
choked the girl until she was uncon-
scious and then cut off her hair with
shears.
The attack was the third that the
man had tried to make on Miss Haws,
but each time previously she had
frightened him away. The Westwood
police have kept the affair quiet because
they hoped they would be able to catch
the man. but when it became apparent
that he was securely hidden they issued
a warning to other women not to per-
NIT strangers to enter their homes.
Miss Haws described the man as a
wild looking creature" tall and thin,
with a thick dirty black beard and
unkempt hair. He had a sallow face
and spoke with foreign accent. The
man first appeared at the Haws home
on the night of October 8, when Miss
Haws was alone. He raped at the
door, but she looked through the curtain.
Ne insisted that she open the door but
she refused and he cursed and threat
ened to shoot her. The girl ran to the
upper floor and telephoned to the police.
but the man had vanished before help
arrived.
On Columbus Day, when Mrs. IIaws
was in the house with her daughter, the
man appeared again. The girl held the
door shut against his efforts to open It.
and Mrs. Haws telephoned to the Chief
of Police, George Bird. Again. however,
the man escaped before help could ar
rive. Police guards were posted about
the house, but after a few days they
were withdrawn. On Saturday night
the man went to the house again. He
raped, and when Miss Haws asked
who was there he replied that he was
the Chief of Police.
Miss Haws opened the door. She tried
to shut 1t again when she saw the wild
man. but he was too quick for her. He
grabbed her by the throat, began chok-
ing her and cursed her. With her throat
bruised and only half conscious. the girl
fell to the floor. The man went into the
kitchen and returned with a large
bread knife. Miss Haws thought he
was going to kill her. She tainted and
while she was unconscious the man cut
off her hair. Then he kicked her In
the stomach and ran from the house.
Miss Sophia Seaman of Paterson, Miss
Haws's aunt. reached the house soon
a fterward and found the girl lying on
the floor She summoned physicians and
the police.

scheme by which the construction
OF certain public works and public utili-
ties could be pushed in times of depres-
sion from reserve funds accumulated

OF Industrial Engineers by Edward
Eyre Hunt, secretary OF the Presidents
Conference on Unemployment.
'If all branches OF our public works
and the construction work OF our pub

&c.-could systematically put aside
financial reserves to be provided in
times of prosperity for the deliberate
purpose of Improvement and expansion

STILLMAN HEIRS ARE
OUT OF DIVORCE SUIT
Justice Morschauser Rules
Baby Guys Rights Are
Safeguarded.

Justice Joseph Morschauser Of the
Westchester County Supreme Court
handed down a decision at White Plains
yesterday denying the application Of
John f. Mack. guardian ad litem for
baby Guy Stilinan to include most OF
the heirs Of the late James A. Stillman
as codefendants in the litigation be-
City Bank and the child's mother, Mrs
Anne u. Stillman. These heirs include
members of the Rockefeller and other
prominent families.
Justice Morshauser's decision says
that the court had Jurisdiction to enter
tain Mr.. Mack's motion, but that the
court has concluded that, under the cir
cumstances 1t should not be granted.
"The court If necessary" the decision
says. will go to great length to protect
infants rights, not only for the present
but for the future. I recognize quite
we'll the great responsibility of the
learned guardian ad Item In this case,
and the cogent reasons that influenced
him to make this motion.
THE learned guardian ad Item need
not be alarmed about the future pro-
lection of the infants rights. The in
fant Is not without remedy and pro-
lection. for his rights can and un-
doubtedly will be sc scfeguarded. If he
succeeds in this trial before the learned
referee the law affords ample oppor-
tunity to the infant or those interested
in his behalf to perpetuate any testi-
mony for his benefit. If the infant
fails in the action he will not need it."
The heirs of the late Mr.. Stillman
whom Mr.. Mack wanted to name as
co-defendants are those interested in
trust funds aggregating about s37 100000.
II Guy Stillman is declared to be the
legitimate child of James A. Stillman
he will share equally in the trust funds
with the other children Of Mr.. and Mrs.
Stillman

WRITINGS BY GALE ARE
ADMITTED AS EVIDENCE
Man Accused as Deserter
Controlled Mexican Magazine

Vigorous attempts to prevent the in
PRODUCTION of poetry and editorials pup
lished in Gales International Mnga<ire
in Mexico city in 1919 and 1920 were
made by the defence yesterday at the
trial of Linn A. Z. Gale on charges of
draft evading and desertion.
The record of habeas corpus proceed
ings instituted by Gale in Laredo.
Texas, last May was read into the court
testimony. In it Gale admitted that the
magazine referred to was entirely under
his control. Counsel for the defence
objected to the introduction OF copies
of the magazine, and declared the
charges filed against the defendant
were predicated largely on information
given by Gale to the Military Intelli-
gence and the Department OF Justice in
support Of other information regarding
activities of radical in Mexico.
This point was lost, however. and tho
magazines were admitted.
