NO ST|LLMAN CASH
FOR ACCUSED Wife
Court Decides Banker Must Not
Pay $500 for Canada
Trip Of Spouse.

New York, Jan. 2s.--James A. Still
man has won his fight against giving
Mrs. Anne L. Stillman $500 to con-
duct Canadian hearings in their di-
vorce suit.
The Appellate Division Of the Su-
preme Court yesterday reversed a de-
cision by Justice Morschauser. direct
ing the banker, to pay Mrs. Stillman
that sum for the expenses of carry
ing her defense across the border.
The opinion. signed by five Justices,
held that Mrs. Stillman already had
been given sufficient money for her
defense. According to her own state
ment, she needed only $4,000 for the
proposed Canadian hearings. the opin-
ion set forth, concluding that $500
was. therefore excessive.
The Justices took occasion 10 note
that neither Stillman nor his wife
has specifically made verified denial
Of the allegations of his or her own
Misconduct"
They took issue with Stillman's
counsel on the statement made las,
week that Mrs. Stillman's defense had
not yet given evidence of potential
success. They held that Stillman al
ready had paid his wife more money
for counsel fees than most people are
able TO accumulate IN a lifetime OF
toll.
While it appears that the expendi.
lures have exceeded the allowance foi
expenses, it is not made TO appear
that the defendant has not in hanS
sufficient funds with which to NEE
these expenses, and the order of tn
learned Court, at special term, mus
be reversed for this reason" the opin
ion said.
There is another reason why tn
order cannot be sustained. II appear
from the affidavit upon which It 4
based that defendants present re
quirements for expenses viii amour
at least. 20 $4,000. The sum alowe'
was $500. The learned Court mus
have intended to provide for the pay
ment of past expenses, which ma,
not be done.
1T follows. therefore. that the or
ders appealed upon must be reversed
motion denied and stay vacated, wit
leave to renew at the special terri
upon further papers, If the defendan
is so advised"

NEW FINANCIAL PLAN
OF COL. GRAPHOPA0NE
Affairs to be Readjusted With
out Interfering With Busi-
ness Development.

Committees representing substan-
TALLY all of the bank creditors and mer-
chandtse creditors of the Columbia
Graphophone Manufacturing Co. (Mho
hold about 75qc of the company's total
indebtedness) have been engaged in
formulating a plan whereby the COM
pany's indebtedness Will be voluntarily
readiusted without interference with
the continuation and development of
it's business. 1t is held by those in
terested to be highly desirable that the
noteholders cooperate with these
other creditors In the formulation and
carrying out of such plan in Order
that Il possible the expense and loss
of business incidept to a reorganiza-
ton through court proceedings be
avoided.
In order that the noteholders may
take concerted action TO this end, a
committee has been formed to repre-
sent them. Noteholders are invited
TO deposit. their notes on or before
February Is. 1922. with Guaranty
Trust Co. of New York, No. $40 Broad
way, New York City. as depositary,
under a deposit agreement which is
now in course of preparation. Copies
of this agreement, under which the
committee Will act, will be availible
for distribution at the office of the
depositary dn the near future.
The members Of the committee have
agreed to serve without compensation
The deposit agreement will provide
that the maximum expense which may
| be charg against any depositor will
not exceed one per cent of the prin-
cipal amount of his notes.
| The deposited notes In transferable
form must be accompanied by the
coupon payable February 1. 1922, an6
by all subsequent coupons, as well as
by ownership certificates in accord,
ance with the Federal Income Tax law
Against such deposits the deposltars
will issue its transferable certificate.
of deposit.
The committee has made arrange
ments whereby the February l, 1922
coupon on notes deposited on or hefor,
February Is. 1922, will be acquired b,
the committee representing 'banl
creditors and held for such disposition
under the plan or otherwise as shall
be equitable.
This arrangement assures to note
holders who deposit their notes on o
before February Is. 1922, the imme
date receipt OF the $40, represente
by the February / coupon.
From informal discussions alread
had with the committee representa-

CURES CANCER-PERHAPS.
DIR. Case Tells of Results Through
X-ray and Radium.

Atlantic City, Jan. 2S.-"Apparent
cures" in twenty 10 twenty-five per
cent of cancer cases that had APP
peared hopeless are being effected
through treatment with x-ray and
radium, according 10 DIR. James T.
Case OF Battle Greek. Mich, who had
entire charge OF the x-ray work with
the American Expeditionary Force in
France.
"It is something great TO hope for
when there is an apparent cure in
twenty 10 twenty-five per cent of the
cases that were apparently hopeless -
DR.. Case said addressing the American
Roetengen Ray Society Yesterday.
Nobody talks about a real cure for
cancer. 1t is a well known surgical
principle that cases are not consider
ed cured until five years have elapsed
None of the cases treated with x-ray
and radium are more than three years
cd, but after that period we found
patients free. from symptoms. We are
beginning TO get results which from
the standpoint of relief of symptoms
are better than ever before. In many
cases il looks like an actual cure"

KEEP FIREPLUGs CLEAR.
Chief Lutz Calls Attention TO the
Importance Of T his.

Fire Chief William J. Lutz this morn
ing made the request that FIRE hyfdrants
be not covered or blocked by snow. he
said care should be taken in clearing on
sidewalks and cleaning out cutters not
to pile the snow over or around the n.y.
drants. They must be kept clear at all
times so that in the event OF a fire an en-
CINE would not have any difficulty IN
making connections and the fremen
would not be delayed by having to shovel
away snow. There is an ordinance
covering this matter and the FIRE depart
ment officials are hopeful that they will
not have to resort to any sterp measures
to have it enforced
Every preparation has been made
throughout the department for an
emergency as g result OF the storm. All
engines, trucks, supply wagons and other
apparatus have been properly equipped
to cope with the snow drifts and IN all
| FIRE houses the officers and men are on
the alert for any call for help that may
/ be sent IN.
The FIRE alarm reporting system was
/ intact as was shown by the test at .
o'clock this morning. All telephone lines
to fire headquarters and TO all the ire
houses were In good working order.
