comeback from the sensational devel-
opment Of yesterday in which counsel
for James A. Stillman declared that
they had paid Fred Beauvais $4,000
for four letters alleged to have been
written to him by Mrs. Anne u. Still
man.
John f. Mack, guardian for little
Guy Stillman, alleged by Mr.. Stillman
to be the son Of Beauvais, said to-day
he did not consider the letters. which
were accepted into evidence, as a blow
to Mrs. Stillman's cause or that Of the
baby. Last night Mrs. Stillman said
she was willing to let the case go to
the referee on the 5000 pages of testi-
mony and other evidence already in.
The possibility, however, that the
defense will ask to reopen the trial be-
fore Wednesday, the time limit for
such a request, was conceded to-day
as an outgrowth Of Mr.. Stillman's
cleventh-hour surprise.
Mrs. Stillman denied authorship of
the letters the plaintiffs witness, Ed
lnund Leigh, said he bought from Beau
vais
James Sheean, the New York news
paper man who Leigh said carried on
the negotiations between Stillma ans
men and the guide, admitted his partic-
ipation in the affair in a telegram sent
TO a friend in Poughkeepsie.
New-York tribune., 1922-05-14

1t was learned to-day that Sheean
had been employed by Mr. Stllman's
lawyers to offer the guide $4,000 for
the letters, according to Lcigh's testi-
mony. Leigh had authority to offer
only $4,000. Sheean, a youthful re-
porter, met Beauvais while on an as
signment to Canada to report develop
ments of the divorce case in that coun-
try. He and Beauvais were good
friends Leigh said he had been told
by Stillman's lawyers.
During the cross examination of
Leigh Referee Daniel j. Gleason, reply
ing to question from one of the law
years, said there was no objection to
buying evidence.
None of the lawyers representing
the defense would express their opinion
on Beauvais's alleged action in selling
the letters
II am very happy over the turn the
case has taken.' was the reply of Mr.
Mack to question as to what he
thought Of the Indians act and the tes-
timony concerning it.

TOOK NOTES ON FINGER NAILS
How English Ecclesastic Obtained Ex-
cerpts From Probably Oldest Vel
IUfn Manuscript in Existence.

The Vatican library includes large
number of bibliographical rarities.
Among them is the famous CodeX Vati-
canus B, described by Doctor Scrivener
as probably the oldest vellum manu-
script in existence" This contains the
Septuagint version of the Old Testa-
ment and one of the earliest known
texts of the New.
In 1S45 Doctor Tregelles, armed with
q letter from Cardinal Wisefnan,
visited Rome with the sole purpose of
studying this manuscript. At last he
succeeded in obtaining the coveted per-
mission, but two prelates were assigned
to the duty of watching him and they
would not even allow him to open the
volume without searching his pockets
and taking away all implements by
which he could copy the text.
They interfered with any prolonged
study, and often took the book hur-
riedly away from him. BY little craft
and patience, however, Doctor Tregel-
les succeeded in making few notes
on his cuffs and finger nails.-Man-
chester Guardian.

BULL MOSES UNHAPPY FATE
Imprisoned in Ice, Wounded Animal Is
Supposed to Have Succumhed
to the Cold.

Dead on his feet with all four legs
imprisoned in the ice that seals the
surface Of Brandy brook, large bull
moose was found by a st. John man
while he was hunting rabbits along the
Brandy brook about six miles from st.
John. When he first came upon him
the great animal was standing in such
q position as to cause the hunter to
believe that the moose was alive. On
investigation, however, he discovered
that the moose was dead. 1t is sup
posed that some time ago, while the
ice on the brook was still thin, the
moose had been shot at and wounded
but not badly enough to prevent his
running. He probably attempted to
cross the brook and broke through the
ice, and because Of his injuries was
snable to extricate himself from this
position and subsequently perished
standing up. UpPto his belly the ami
mails legs were encased in the ice. He
was found near deep part of the
brook called Soldier hole. in which it
is said soldier, -who had run away
from ST. John, was drowned about
thirty-fve years. ago.-Exchange.

SAVED HER PENCIL SUPPLY
Extremely Masculine Office Force
SHED OFF Busy Stenographers
Shade Of Delicate Lavender.

J Part of every morning in the Busy
Stenographer's life went toward COL
lecting her precious pencils from
everybody else's desk. OF course she
never could prove these really were
her own. The big fact was that at
the end of the day her supply was
always nil.
Feminine wit met the problem. OF
course the men in her Office classed
themselves as very masculine; went
in for striped neckties and checked
suits, scorned tea rooms for lunch, but
knew every chop house within
score of blocks-real men stuff, you
know.
One morning the Busy Stenographer
came in with a new package Of pen
els. She sharpened them carefully
and laid them in readiness on her desk.
The day sped by. Her pencils were
;borrowed-but returned. From the
far end OF the Office the office boy
came during the afternoon. "Hey, Miss
Blank, isn't this one Of your pencils?
I thought you might be lookin' fer itT'
At the close of the day the supply
was still intact. The color of the
wood was delicately lavender.-Pitts-

FARM TARIFFS UP FOR
DEBATE IN SENATE
American Grower to Be Better Pro-
tected Than Ever, Gooding, Di-
recting Bloc, Declares

Washington, May 15.--The farmer
came into his own in the Senate
Monday when the Republican tariff
bloc swung into action in behalf of
favorable farm duties in the new tar
iff bill.
A long series Of amendments to
the house tariff bill, several hundred
in all, were backed by the "bloc." In
the "bloc's" program were high du-
ties on grains, cattle, cotton, fruit,
vegetables and their derivatives.
Led by Senator Gooding, Reubli-
can, of Idaho, members of the "bloc"
seemed confident. The tariff was
being directed by Gooding and Sen
ator Ladd, Republican, Of North Da-
kota.
The bloc's first test was due Mon
day when the Senate reached vote
on the duty on castor oil. Although
general debate from the Democratic
side was predicted, Chairman Good
ing predicted that the bloc's duty
would be passed.
Gooding declared the farmer would
be "morc protected than ever be-
fore" by the bloc's tariffs.
"The duties the tariff bloc have
recommended were decided on only
after careful study of the farmers
problems" said Gooding. "The Am
erican farmer, in many instances, has
been forced to compete with cheap
foreign labor at a time when his
own crops were selling for scarcely
more than cost and in some instances
such as cotton, even below cost.
The bloc's tariffs will climate one
source of worry to the farmer
the sale of cheaper foreign farm
products within our own borders.
This will enable him first to get a
reasonable price for his own prod
ucts in competition with imported
goods and secondly will give him an
opportunity to get back on his feet"
Senator McCumber, Republican, OF
North Dakota, in charge of the tar
iff bill, said he would favor passage
of. the bloc's amendments.

He Is Not Yet Crowned.

! The news that something in the ma
iture of a tentative offer to the throne
of Albania has been made to Jerome
Napoleon Bonapa is reminder that
the Bonapartes have long had close
connection with America. This con-
nection began with the Bonaparte who
was made king of Westphaia by the
first Napoleon, of whom he was the
Youngest brother. This Jerome Bona
parte settled in the United States after
being exiled from France by his broth
er. and remained until his appoint
ment as king, in 1907. The present
bearer of the name, who has come into
prominence, is a great-grandson of the
kim and nephew of Charles j. Bona
par. who was attorney general in the
cabinet of President Roosevelt. 1t
would be odd indeed if plain citi-
zen of democratic America should now
become a European king.

RARE GEMS LOST TO SIGHT
Russian Crown Jewels Supposed to
Have Been Disposed CT in Small
Assortments.

The great collection Of Russian
crown jewels seems likely 70 share
the mysterious fate OF the peacock
throne in Delhi. writes Frederic ].
Haskin in the Chicago Daily News.
The peacock throne, which cost the
Shah Jehan S3O,OOO00O, was a Won
derful canopied chair Of pure gold in
crusted with rubies, sapphires and fes-
toonS of pearls, and ornamented with
two great jeweled peacocks and life
sized parrot cut from a single emer-
aid. 1t was fabulous work of art,
and when it slipped out Of sight after
the death of the shah there was much
speculation. Presumably strand Of
pearls was Topped off here, a ruby
pried off there, and the emerald par
rot cut into a number of less distinc-
tive jewels. Today mere throne
framework in Teheran is pointed out
uncertainty as the peacock throne.
The crown jewels of Russia are sup
posed to be slipping away in similar
fashion. There was no word of any
looting when the kremlin in Moscow,
where the glittering jewels Of royalty
reposed, fell into the hands of the rev.
olutionists. The Kremlin has been
guarded by the soviet government.
The condition of the treasury galleries
is yelled in mystery.

monds were thrown on the jewel mar
ket in ten months in Iceland the
crown jewel collection of Russia was
