BANKER STLLMAV
LOSES EVERY POINT
IN SENSATIONAL SUIT
Referee Denies Divorce, Es-
tabIishes Legitimacy of
Son and Clears Wife of All
Charges

CARMEL, N. Y, Sept. 29,-(By
the Associated Press).-James A.
Stillman, former president Of the
National City Bank of New York,
was denied decree in his suit for
absolute divorce against his wife.
Anne U. Stillman, and baby Guy
Stillman was declared legitimate in
the findings of Daniel J. Gleason,
referee in the case, which were
filed here today.
The referees decision was a COM
plete victory for Mrs. Stillman. Not
only was her defense upheld, but
the referee also confirmed her
charges that Mr.. Stillman had mis-,
conducted himself with Florence H,
Leeds, former Broadway show girl,
and that Mrs. Leeds had borne two
children.
In regard to Mrs. Stillman's
charges that her banker husband
had also misconducted himself with
two other women, identified only as
''Helen" and Clara" Referee Glea-
son decided that the evidence was
not sufficient to prove the allega
lions.
Witness Discredited
Two of the bankers attorneys,
Colonel William Rand and Outer.
bridge Horsey, waiting to hear the
decision in Mr.. Gleason's Office at
Poughkeepsie, declined to say
whether they intended to appeal
from the referees findings.
The referee wrote that the tes-
timony adduced by Mr.. Stillman in
support of his charges that Mrs.
Stillman misconducted herself with
Fred Beauvais, part Indian guide
alleged by the banker to be the ia
Their of little Guy Stillman, "uncon-
tradicted and unexplained was suffi-
cient to justify him in believing Mrs.
Stillman guilty of the charges made
against her"
"a careful examination, however,
of all the testimony" said his re-
port, has shaken my faith and be-
lief in the testimony of the witnesses
called in the plaintiffs behalf"
The ieree held that Stillman had
faii to o1urcome the presumption Ct

strongest known to the law and

LEXINGTON MEN CLAIM HELD
UP NEAR PARIS

Aubrey Smith and Robert Saun-
ders, drivers of the Lexington Her
aid delivery truck, told Paris police
they had been held up at a point
about two miles out of Paris, Sunday
morning, by three men, who COM
manded them to halt. Unheeding
the command the Lexington men,
according to their story, stepped on
the gas apd beat the highwaymen
off.
According to the story told by
Smith, the truck was about two
miles from Paris on the Lexington
pike, when a large touring car was
seen to be blocking road. Two men
were standing on either side of the
road, and the third man stood in
the center of the pike, waving re-
volver in one hand and tagging
them down with the other. Nearing
the party, Smith, who was driving,
saw that he could go by on one side
Of the road and accordingly pushed
on the accelerator. Looking back
they saw that the men had gotten
into their car and were following
the truck. The two hurried into
Paris and went to the station, the
touring car in the mean time giving
up the chase.

THE TOBACCO MARKETS
(Monthly Business Review

(Monthly Business Review
At the present time conditions in
the Burley tobacco district are more
favorable. Since last month the
Growers Marketing Association has
started its operations. 1t appears
that its plans for the handling of
the tobacco were well laid so that
when the warehouses were opened to
receive tobacco the business was
handled without any evidence of
confusion.
The tobacco is graded and weighed
by the Association upon the deliv-
cry. The grower receives credit for
the number of pounds Of each grade
which he has delivered and an ad-
vance is made to him for this to-
bacco.
Several large sales have been re-
ported by the Association, but no
definite prices have been given out
up to the present time beyond the
statements indicating that these
prices have been quite satisfactory.
The growers seem to be well pleased
with the organization at the present
time. Growers Of dark types Of to-
bacco in Western Kentucky expect
to start on an organizing campaign
in the near future to establish an or
agnization along similar lines.
