The court decree, according to the
veteran labor leader, violated not only
two sections of the constitution and
the Clayton act, but the provisions Of

be used in prosecuting labor organi-

MRS. ST|LLMAN
WINS IN COURT
HUSBANDS CHARGES PROVE A
BOOMERANG IN COURT RULING.
DECIDES CHILD LEGITIMATE
No Proof Of Mrs. stillman's Unfa,s.S
fuIness But Plenty Of Evidence
That Stillman Himself Was
Guilty, Says Referee.

Carmel. N. Y.-James A. Stillman,
multi-millionaire banker of New York.
lost his fight to divorce Mrs. Anne u.
Stillman and disown baby Guy Still
man, and was himself found guilty OF
the charge he made against his wifc
the parentage of an illegitimate
child.
Mr.. Stillman, 1t was indicated, has
not given up the fight. His lawyers
would not say whether they would
appeal from the findings of the ref
cree should these be upheld by SUI
preme court justice, but they were
reported to have made move which
seemingly makes clear that they have
not conceded defeat.
1t was announced by John E. Mack,
guardian ad litem for Guy Stillman,
that at Poughkeepsie he would ask
Justice Morsehauser to confirm Ref
cree Gleason's findings. AS soon .is
this announcement was given out, it
was learned that the plaintiff will
seek to have the matter placed be-
fore Supreme Court Justice Tompkins
instead of Justice Morsehauser ON the
same date.
Most of the court hearings in the
case have, in the past, been before
Justice Morsehauser. 1t was he who
granted Mrs. Stillman record alimony
OF 100000 year, and it was Justice
Morsehauser who granted, over pro-
test, the shifting of the trial to
Montreal last spring. There Mrs.
Stillman presented some of her most
damaging evidence.
The report of the case, filed here
by Daniel ]. Gleason, the referee,
gave to Mrs. Stillman a complete vic
tory in her defense of her own honor
and the good name Of Guy. her three
year-old son. She was also victo-
rious in the counter attack she waged
against Mr.. Stillman. The referee
upheld her accusation that the bank
er had lived with former Broadway
show girl, Florence H. Leeds, in the
manner Of husband and wife, and that
he had acknowledged himself the
father OF two children born to Mrs.
Leeds.
Mr.. Gleason ruled that Mr.. Still.
man had not proved his allegation
that Mrs Stllman had violated the
marriage vows in her conduct with
Fred Beauvais, half-breed Indian
guide. He also found Guy Stillman to
be the legitimate son of Mr.. and Mrs.
Stillman. The banker, in impugning
the legitimacy of little Guy, born in
November. 1918, had charged that
Beauzais was the baby's father
AS result of today's victory. Guy
Stillman retains his right to share
with his two older brothers and his
sister in the s6.OO0,O0O trust fund
established for them by their grand
father, the late James Stillman, and
in $27,0O0,000 fund to be distributed
when James A. Stillman dies.

Chapter 225, known as the budget
law, enacted by the legislature 1922,
is being commented upon as one Of
the best laws passed in many years.
This law compels the publication by
towns and municipalities as we'll as
counties of expenditures of the past
year, and proposed expenditures for
the coming year. Voters may protest
by petition, to be followed by an elec-
tion where they desire, and may vote
down items which they may egard as
exorbitant or unnecessary. The
budgets bf the various towns and rfu-
inequalities, as we'll as the eighty-two
counties. vary in length, making from
six inches to several columns.

1t seems that the new state capitol
occupied in 1903, as well as the old
capitol, renovated in 1916, are fully oc-
cupied, all available space of each
building being taken up, and there is
talk of the erection OF a fireproof
building in which all the accumulated
records Of hundred years shall be
assembled and classified. 1t Is being
pointed out that many of these rec
'ords, which are invaluable and could
not be replaced, are stored away in
dark corners and the finding of them
by persons who need to consult them
is utterly impossible. A modern fire
proof building with competent SUI
perintendent in charge, would give
Mississippi what other states have,
and be along the lines of the federal
government at Washington.

1t is stated around the new capitol
that the six supreme court judges are

Stokes v. Robertson, VS.. the sixty-five
fire insurance companies penalized in
which Chancellor Striker found a de-
cree against the fire companies, and
penalized them over eight million dol
lars. This would seem to indicate an
early opinion in this case. AS the case
in which Judge Wiley H. Potter held
that Gov. Russell had the right to re-
move Commissioner T. M. Henry, for
alleged embezzlement, is a state case
also on appeal to the supreme court,
a decision by that court in that case
seems to be regarded as only few
weeks.

Very little is being heard here Fat
the state capital about the initiative
amendment to the state constitution of
the mortmain section of that instru-
ment. A petition asking for an elec-
tion on that subject was filed with the
secretary of state some months ago.
but since that time there appears to
be agitation of the matter, either in or
out of the press. 1t requires major
ity Of all those voting on constitu-
tional amendments. whether initiated
by petition, or submitted by the legis-
lature, to ratify them. A mere ma
jority of those voting for and against
an amendment is not sufficient. 1t re-
quires clear majority of all those
voting on all matters, as well as on
amendments, to ratify an amendment.

RAIL RAISE ORDERED.
Increase of Revenue Needed to

Transcontinental and other railroads
connecting with the Kansas City. MeXi-
co and Orient line We're ordered yes
terday to increase that roads propor-
ton of joint freight rates by amounts
ranging from Is to 80 per cent.
The Interstate commerce Commits
sion which has joined with state rail-
road commissions in dealing to prevent
the Orient from suSpending service, de-
clared that the increased revenues from
the carrier were necessary and rea-
sonable.
The method followed by the commits
sion in assisting the Orient line was
the same as taken in the case of New
England railroads and later in the
case of the Missouri and North ;Arkan-
sas. Without increasing the general
level of freight rates the commission
increased the amount of money going to
portion of joint freight rates. The ac
IDENTIFY not contested. for the commits
cerned had filed no protest and put in
no evidence.
Several conferences have been held in
recent weeks between the receiver of
the railroad state railroad commits
sions. officials of connecting railroads
and the Interstate Commerce Commits
sion in the endeavor to formulate a
policy which would be mutually agree
able and which would at the same time
keep the Orient line in operation.

sr"cial Dispatch TO The Star.
NEW YORK August 15.-The twin
evils of industry-the coal and rail
strikes - dominate general business
conditions here. and yet. paradoxical
as it may seem. business is not bad in
the metropolitan district. There are
thousands of buyers in the city. at
tracted by the national merchandis
fair. and the beauty of it is that they
are buying. Transportation facilities
in this part of the east are far from
disruption: trains are being moved
according to schedule and good vol
Gme of freight is beirg carried. The
New York Central lines. for example.
report exceedingly large car loadings.
Were it not for the coal strike and
the specter of shortage this winter.
unusually heavy buying would be in
progress now. Settlement of the
strike. expected within the next few
days. may have the effect of releasing
orders. but the filing of these rests
largely on the amount of coal that
can be delivered in the next two
months. The coal supplies of many
factories are at present It low ebb.
But perhaps the greatest token of un-
eaSiness over the general economic
situation comes from statesmen in the
neld, who report a sharp letup in buy
ing.
Locally, however. retail trade is
good. Heavy fall buying Is in prog
reSs. and the department stores and
speciality dress shops report volume
sales. New York's primary markets
are dull-the dry goods market espe-
ciallS. There has been a diminution
of automobile sales. but the price re-
ductions, announced in Detroit sew
eral weeks ago, have brought many
inquiries. and new sales. in fairly
large number. are in prospect
