sTILLMAN's WIFE WINS
HUSBAND is FLAYED

Poughkeepsie, N. Y.--Mrs. stillman
winsi
Referee Daniel ]. Gleason, in an
opinion made publicsone day last week
decided in her favor in the divorce suit
brought by James A. Stillman, mil
lionaire and former president of the
National City Bank.
The referee recommended that
Stillman be refused divorce. He
ruled that Baby Guy StiHman, CEN
tral figure Of the famous case, is
actually the legitimate son Of Mr..
and Mrs. Stillman and therefore en-
titled to share in the vast fortunes
of the family. The contention that
Fred Beauvais, Indian guide, is faith
FER Of the son Guy is rejected as not
proven.
Gleason's opinion is that Mrs. Still
man has proven her counter charge
that Stillman was intimate with Flor
ence Helen Leeds, that he maintained
her as his wife, and that they had
two children.
However, no divorce is granted to
Mrs. StiIlman as she did not apply
for actual separation,
Gleason's recommendations will go
before Supreme Court Justice Mors-
chauser, at Poughkeepsie, and he will
be required either to confirm or re-
ject them. 1t is the usual procedure
for the court to confirm the referees
decision. Stillman's attorneys prob
ably will file objections to such con-
firmatioa, however, and will also ap-
peal the case, which will lead to a
further legal fight.

THE COLLAPSE OF THE
COAL COMBINE


For tn epresent, industry seems to
have put crimp into the plans of the
coal controllers for wholesale loot
irg of the public. A single protest
brought the unholy edifice of price
exploitation tumbtng about the pro-
fiteers' heads. The protest was, as
must always be expected, yiciously
misinterpreted. The sob cry was di-
ligently persisted in by the capitals
tic organs until it became positively
nauseating. Interests, that had de-
lliberately arranged to wiring the last
dollar cut Of the families Of America
By maintaining al through the winter
the menace Of empty bins and fireless
homes, were suddenly consumed with
sympathy for the roor workingman
when industries closed down in pro-
test rather than submit to the un-
speakably wicked robbery which had
been designedSupon the American peo-
| pie. Interests that would have kept
the country on curbed fires and
would have made fuel the biggest
item In this winters family budget,
pretended to be melted into pity for
the poor employees who sacrificed $25
in wages to save $3.50 on their coal
bill. 1t is the typical old bunk, but
this year it was very badly stage
managed, in that it was directed
against the wrong target.
The effect Of the industrial protest
was Immediately felt. At the time
the warning was given that in three
weeks mammoth industry would
have to close unless coal cnoditions
improved, coal was selling to manu-
facturers at as high as 50 a ton.
When the announcement was made.
the price wavered q little. Then
came the cry that it was only a
ablnff," a cry which arose in the same
quarters whence the sympathy" cry
afterward came, and for the momear
the high coal price was strengthened
again. Then, as the eainestness of
the protest became apparent (nosh-
ing is harder for the exploiters to
understand than a straightforward
honest statement) break became no.
I,iceable. Coal climbed down to So
and 81. The Saturday of the shut
down it reached $3.50. On Monday it
was $3.50. On Huesday it was $3.50.
A week later, at this writing. it is Of
fered at SO. If bought on contract
(which also plays into the hands of
1.-THE profiteers) it can be had at $3.50.
And mountains of coal at that.
This rapid collapse Of prices shows
the artificial nature Of the whole sit
Ipation, There was always plenty If
coal. The scarcity was make-beIieve.
The only dangerous, moment came
when the government created a real
scarcity by announcing Control" of
lristribution. The coal problem then
became an Jeute transportation prob
Hem. When. as a further result Of

MET SUDDEN DEATH
YESTERDAY MORNING

A peculiar accident occurred yester-
day morning which cost Bob Hooper
his life. Hooper owned Chevrolet
car. He did not run it but was accus-
toned to get some boy to drive for
him. One of these was Millard Kirt-a
ley. Yesterday morning Hooper want.
ed to go visit brother who lives west
of Jacksonville and got Millard to 60
with him. They left here about $50
o'clock and drove to the brother's
house. When they got there, the
family was not at home. Hooper was
reared in that neighborhood and knew
everybody, so he proposed that they
go to some neighbor's house, saying
that they might find his brother and
family.
On the way the car ran out Of wa
ter. They stopped at the house to re-
plenish. but there were no buttons On
the chain 50 the water could not be
drawn. Hooper told the boy that
there was creek near there and
they would drive down to it.
Millard says he told Hooper there
was no use driving, that he would
take bucket and 20 get the water.
Hooper said: There's no need of
that; there is good road and we can
drive all right" The road, Millard
says, was fairly good, but it was
down slight incline. and rocky. They
came to place where the ground
was soft and Millard had his head
out his side of the car driving care
fully and watching the road. All at
once he heard a crash of glass. He
said he had not heard Hooper open
the car door and did not know he
moved until he heard the crash.
Hooper evidently started to get
out and probable jolt of the ca
caused him to be thrown against the
windshield. When Millard heard the
crash and turned to see what was the
matter, he found Hooper on the
ground holding his arm on his neck.
The wound was bleeding freely and
Millard did what he could to render
first aid by taking his own haRdker-
chief, placing it on the cut, and bind
ing it there with Hooper's handker-
chief. Then they started together to
get help. Hooper was able to walk
nd even climbed a fence. After
they had gone q short way down the
road, Hooper began to fail in
strength, as his neck was bleeding
profusely. Ina few minuets he told
Millard he was getting blind and
could go no farther. Millard, badly
scared, left and ran on for help. He
soon met man and told him to come
with min, that there was a man down
the road who had been hurt and was
probably dying. The man refused,
saying: "No, you are not going to
get me mixed up with a thing like
that" After yainly pleading
him, Millard again started on and
and soon met several men in a car.
Te these he appealed fer help and
the men went with him. As they
passed, the first man Millard had
met,he got on the running hoard of

Sullivan, already under indictment
here for alleged violation OF the Har'
rison narcotic act. was arrested by
Federal Agent Il. A. Feimster at the
Union Station yesterday morning as
he was in the act OF boarding tram
for Roanoke. Drugs aggregating
in value about $1,000. were found In
his possession, as were the two car
rier pigeons.
The prisoner was taken TO the city
Jail to be held pending preliminary
hearing before a United States COM
missioner today on a warrant charg'
ing him with violating the statute re-
lating to traffic i'm narcotics. Sulli'
van, according to the authorities,
has been identified for several
months with a ring of cocaine ana
morphine peddlers operating In Nor.
folk and Roanoke. He was arrested
here by Federal officers about three
months ago. when drugs valued AT
between $4,000 and $4,000 were taken
from him.
Hearing 'in the latter case was
scheduled in the United States Court
for today. When taken into custody
yesterday Sullivan told Feimster
that he had intended going to
Roanoke on the morning train on
urgent business and that he had
meant to return to Norfolk on the
night train in order that he might
be here when his case was called for
trial.
Sullivan declined to comment upon
the presence of the pigeons among
his effects. but the authorities are
not inclined to believe that he was
carrying them around with him as
pets. A carrier pigeon, 1t is under
stood. could carry an ounce or more
or cocaine or morphine without DIFF.
ficulty and would run very little risk
of capture in a flight across the
State.
