Urges Test Suit In
Reply To Veterans

Stating that 1t would be glad Il
the American Legion and the Sa
lem post Of the Veterans of For.
eign Wars would institute a suit
to test the policy adopted in grant
ing state loans to ex-service men
the veterans state aid commission
has addressed a letter to Braziel
Small, American Legion adjutant
and Henry 0. Miller, commander
of the Veterans Of Foreign Wars
setting forth It's position in the
matter.
Small announced this morning
that a special meeting of the Local
post of the American Legion
would be called on Tuesday, April
Is, at the armory to hear the re-
port of the committee, appointed
by Commander Joe Minton to in
terview the commission and tc
consider the reply. All ex-service
men are asked to be present at the
meeting.
Refer to Appraisements.
The matter of making the re-
ports of the appraisers available
20 ex-seryice men is also taken up
in the letter, the text of which
follows:
The commission has given con-
sideration to matters submitted to
it by your committees, wherein
administration of the veterans
loan act is involved, and unani-
mously directs me to advise you
as follows:
The commission considers
that it is charged by this law with
the duty of passing upon the
amount of loan to be made to the
applicant, and that it is for the
commission to determine the
amount upon the information OBJ
tanned by it; provided, that no
loan shall be made In excess vi
$4,000, nor in excess of rs pei
cent of the value of the property.
If you continue in the opinion to-
day expressed by your committees,
namely, that the commission must
accept the valuation of it's ap-
praisers as final and loan to the
full rs per cent of the amount
thereof, but not to exceed $4,000
we will be glad If you will follow
the suggestion made by your com
mittee, of instituting a suit to OBJ
tain decision of the question by
the supreme court.
Set Ratio Impossible.
"2-Your committees request
the commission to state the per-
centage that would be applied by
it in passing upon loan applica-
tions. This, the commission ais un-
able to do. Differences in prop
erty and of the value of risks in
volved require, as we see the mat
ter, the application of lesser per-
centage in some instances than in
others and, the, srore, each case
must be disposed of upon It's mer-
it's.
"3-Your committees challenge
the validity of the following regu-
lation adopted by the commission:
"35 - Appraisers reports Of
property valuation will be treated
as confidential, and all agents or
employees of the commission are
strictly prohibited from disclosing
such information.
"This rule, with others adopted
by the commission, has been trans
mitted to the various posts in the
state and sent to all of the ap-
praisers and attorneys of the COM
for their guidance. The
propriety of adhearing to 1t dur
ing the period the commission is
engaged in making loans is mani
fest and the commission is unable
to acceded to the suggestion that
the rule be abrogated and the val
uations fixed by its appraisers
opened to public inspection.
Respectfully submitted,
III. c. BRUMBAUGH,
Secretary"

DIVORCE CASE
OF STnLMANS
AGAIN OPENED
Parents of Beauvais De
fend Son Accused of I'm
proper Relations With
MilliOnaire's Wife.


Montreal, April 12.-(By Asso-
ciated Press.) = Severe cross
examination awaited the full
olooded Indian, Louis Beauvais
father of the guide, Fred Beau
jgais, when trial of the Stili:uan
divorce case was resumed here to-
day.
Yesterday the Indians parents
defended their son and Mrs. Anne
o. Stillman against the charges of
misconduct made by James A.
Stillman, New York banker, who
alleged in suing for divorce, that
they had misbehaved in the Que
oec woods and that Fred Beau
vais was the father of little Guy
Stillman.
Testimony Conflicts.
BY their testimony Fred's S father
and mother sought to show it
would have been impossible for
Workmen at the Stillman summer
camp near Grande Anse, Quebec,
to have drawn aside roller cur
tains and popped at Beauvais and
Mrs. Stillman in the bedroom of
the lodge. They said there were
40 roller curtains at the windows
at that time, the summer of 1918.
Mrs. Beauvais, however, was de-
clared to have been uncertain on
this point.
There were other points of diff
ference between their statements
and those of their neighbors who
more than year ago testified
against Mrs. Stillman. The neigh
bors swore than Mrs. Stillman .nc
Beauvais occupied adjoining rooms
in the lodge and that the Stillman
children Anne, Alexander and
James, slept in tents outside.
Letter Refutes Testimony.
Mr.. and Mrs. Beauvais said
there were no tents on the place
at that time. The children and
Mrs. Stillman occupied rooms on
he ground floor, they said, and
Beauvais slept upstairs.
Mrs. Beauvais, after identifying
Fred's handwriting on three in
significant notes, however, was
said to have also identified a let
ter in which Fred told of the tents
being on the place.
Counsel for Mrs. Stillman call
ed several French Canadians to-
day to batter down evidence al
legged to show that Mrs. Stillman
herself at their
place along the st. Maurice valley.
Others were summoned to support
charges that attempts to bribe
witnesses to tell of such impro-
prieties were made by ]. Albert
Lafontaine, alleged representa-
tive of Mr.. Stillman.
Bribery Is Alleged.
Shef Siman testified that he
overheard Lafontaine offer $4,000
to two workmen If they would
swear they had seen wrongful con-
duct by Mrs. Stillman and Beau
vais. This offer was alleged to
have been made in June, 1920,
Just before Mr.. Stillman filed his
charges. Both testified in New
York they had peeped through
windows and keyholes at the Still
man camp and seen Mrs. Stillman
improperly conducting herself
with Beauvais.
