RADIO SERVICE TO CONTINUE
 IN NORTHLAND

SEATTLE, Sept. 29. The con- tinuance of important Naval radio sta- tions in Alaska was assured the Seattle Chamber of Commerce to- day by Admiral J. A. Hoogewerff, commandant of the Puget Sound Navy Yard at Bremerton, whose of fices had been sought by the Seat tie Chamber of Commerce at the instance of Alaska commercial bodies, to cooperate in favor of a continuance of the service. Admiral Hoggeweff reported to the Chamber that the radio stations at Cordova, Ketchikan, St. Paul Island, Sitka and compass stations are to be re- tained as nearly as possible with full cOmDlements of men. Stations said, would be maintained with suf- ficient personnel to meet the most important requirements of those sta tions, while those at Kodiak and Ju- neau would have a slightly in creased number of operators. The Admiral said that a complete study of the situation was being made by his department toward the end of showing that the radio is rendering the most valuable service in Alaskan waters Action was taken on the re- port by the Chamber, which went on record as protesting against re- duction in the Navy personnel on the ground that it might cause a severe retrenchment in the radio service.

ENDORSEMENT FORD DECIDED PREMATURE
 BY DEM. COMMITTEE

BAY CITY, Mich, Sept. 29.-Deci- sion not to endorse Henry Ford for the Presidency resulted from a con- ference of the resolutions committee of the State Democratic convention which is in session today. The com mittee thus rejects the proposal laid before it yesterday favoring the con- ventions going on record in support of the Detroit 'flivver" magnate. The committee, in deciding against the action, explained that "the endorse ment at this time would be premature and too far in advance of the 1924 election" The decision called atten- tion to the fact that the framers of the platform were not authorized to speak for Ford, nor did they have the consent of the convention, which had met to name candidates for lesser of fices, frame a platform and complete plans for what they call the most not able Democratic campaign conducted in Michigan in fifty years.

DiUOrce
 Denied Ry Judge;
 Defendant Not GuiItV

CARMEL, x. Y, Sept. 29. - In a judgment handed down by Daniel ] Gleason, referee in the case, James 4 Stiilman was yesterday denied a de cree of divorce from Mrs. Stillman Baby Guy, whose percentage has fig ured sensationally in the case, was declared the legitimate child of Still man. The verdict is complete vic, tory for Mrs. Stillman and a con, conduct with Florence Leeds being confirmed. In his report the referee stated that Stillman's testimony in support of his charges of misconduC; on the part of Mrs. Stillman with Fred Beauvais, an Indian guide, whC was alleged to be the father of the child, was not sufficient to justify the the belief that she was guilty of the charges. Careful examination Ot the testimony" said the referee in Ei@ ~eH0rt, "has shaken my belief in the testimony which was called in the nlaintiff's behalf'
 The Stillman divorce case, in which tho principals accused one another of being the parents of illegitimate children, has been in many ways without parallel in the history of do nestle ruptures in American high so ciety.
 James A. Stillman, who instituted the court proceedings, was presiden of the National City Bank of New York, the son of former head of tEa1 institution and a noted multi-million aire. He charged his wife, the for mer Eff Potter, famous beauty, of in
 fidelity. saying she was guilty of mis conduct from 1916 through 1919 witt Fred Beauvais, an Indian guide, a their summer camp near Three Rivers | Quebec. MT Stillman declared Bea1 vais was the father of Guy Sti1'r'"o'o 'o DOTH to MIS. ollllIllull III 4NON l1919.
 This charge was denied by Mrs Stillman. In retaliation she accused her husband of misconduct with three women. One of those named was Flor ence H. Leeds, a former Broadwa, show girl. The other two were identi fled as Helen" and "Clara."
 Mrs. Stillman asserted her husband was the father of two children borl l to Mrs. Leeds, the daughter of Nev York plumber. One infant died a
 birth. The other, Jap Ward Leeds
 born in September, 1919, is living ant Mrs. Stillman said her husband hat

WASHINGTON, Sept 29.-AdvisOrs close to President Harding stated yes terday that the Chief Executive is giv- ing consideration to personal appoint ments for Senators New and McCum- Der. who were recently defeated of renomination in their respective pri- maries.

and, and that he lived with her and Ter child in these places, posing under tho name of "Franklyn Harold Leeds. , When Mr. Stillman was Quizzed by his Wife's attorneys during a hearing ir their case last summer, he refused tc answer any questions based on his alleged misconduct with Mrs. Leeds. His inivariable reply was q refuse 10 answer on the ground that it might tend to incriminate me"
 Witnesses for Mr. Stillman told of seeing his wife and Fred Beauvais in rooms at the Canadian camp and in a hotel few miles away. Servants tes tified that they were often together at the Stillman country estate in the POcantico Hills, near the home of John D. Rockefeller. One of them asserted that Beauyais gave mecca sins to the baby, Guy, inscribing in one of them q hope Guy will always love his mother" and in the other q hope Guy will some day know his father
 MT. Stilman's attorneys tried tc show that their client did not live with his wife during the year preceding the birth of Guy Stillman, and one of the witnesses called to aid in this evidence was Mrs Percy A. Rockefeller, the bankers sister, and niece of the foun der of the Rockefeller fortune.
 I No domestic scandal ever created | perhaps, greater public interest thar | the Stillman case. Mr. Stillman filled his complaint in July, 1920, in the little village of Carmel, N. Y, and il l lay hidden there unknown to but few There were rumblings of discOrd il the Stillman family, however, during the fall and winter of 1920, and these were echoed in society magazines. Or the morning of March Il, 1921, the story broke into newspapers, and fror that time on thousands of columns o type were devoted to the case. A few weeks after the case became publicly known the directors of the Nationa City Bank announced that Stillmar had resigned as president. MT. Still mans avowed purpose in institutins the suit was to prove Guy Stillmar illegitimate. If his paternity coult have been tested by allowing Mrs Stillman to start proceedings, thf banker his attorneys intimated, woulf have been willing to be the defendant
 Pending outcome of the case Mrs Stillman was awarded alimony Of $780, GOO a year, one of the largest alimonl grants ever made in this state. Sh'
 as allowed $35,O00 counsel fees an s12,500 for expenses.

Judge Willett is a Naval veteran, and the first to be chosen as head of the Veteran Army. Dr. George T. Harding, father of the President, was elected Surgeon General of the, organization.
 Denunciation of "the savage butch cry" which characterized the out rages at the Herrin mine was ex- pressed in a resolution passed by the Grand Army Veterans today in the closing hour of the fifty sixth session. A resolution denouncing the selfishness of both sides in the re- cent rail-and mine strikes, which was tabled after spirited discussion, was introduced by Senior Vice-Com- mander Robert McBridge, who ap- pealed to the encampment for the right to read it and have the del egates pass upon it. Three resolu- tions were presented to the conven- tion proposing retaliation on the part of the Northern soldiers for the recent action of the Confederate veterans in assailing the memory of Lincoln. The resolutions were tabled.
