BIG FEES ALLOWED
IN STILLMAN SUIT
Baby Guys Guardian Granted $685.
900 and Referee $22,2O
BY Justice.

White Plains. N. Y, Oct. 25.---
Supreme Court Justice Morschauser
yesterday awarded John L. Mack.
guardian of Baby Guy Stillman. $685.
900. for his services in defending
the infant against the charge of H.
legitimacy brought by James A still
man. millionaire banker, in his suit
for divorce from Mrs. Anne U. Still
man. He also allowed Mr.. Mack $4.-
901.11 which the guardian reported
he had expended in Guys behalf.
The court allowed Referee Daniel
]. Gleason. who heard the evidence
in the case. compensation at the rate
of $3.50 a day for las days devoted
to the case--a total of S22.200.
Justice Morschauser also signed
yesterday the final order in Still
mans divorce suit. denying him a
divorce and affirming the Legitimacy
of Baby Guy, who Stillman had al
legged to be the son of Frederick X.
Beauvis, Indian guide, who was
named as correspondent. The order
held that Stillman had failed to
prove Mrs. Stillman guilty of adul-
terry. but that Stillman himself had
been proved guilty of adultery with
Florence Leeds. former show girl.
Counsel for Stillman had fought
the granting OF compensation to Mr..
Mack. contending that he was EMIT
led only to his taxable costs in the
case. They also had commended
Gleason's fees were 'exorbitant.'
In disposing of these objections
Justice Morschauser recalled that II
had been shown Stillman was willing
to spend money to purchase evil
dence," referring to letters alleged
to have been written to Beauvis by
Mrs. Stillman, for which Stillman
paid $4,000.

WILL The TOBACCO
POOL GO over TOP?
Only Few More Days Before
Doors Are Closed To.
Opportunity.

Midnight, October 2S and the
doors OF opportunity for entering tho
Dark Tobacco Growers Coopsrative
Association will have been closed
for the present year. VIII they be
sealed with something like united
effort, with the aid of hands willing
ly loaned by you? Tobacco growers
as well as business man? We saw
a report two or three days ago from
a school district in the extreme up
per end of the County wherein the
total acreage was given as ST.,
with only two acres signed up with
the organization. Evidently that
district had not been worked to a
very large extsnt, as we can't believe
that all of those growers would have
still been out.
Believing with all our rind that
the cooperative association is the
salvation of the growers. their only
chance and prospect for securing a
fair price for their toll, it is certainly
discouraging to see so many remain
ing out of the society, notwithstand-
ing the fact that ii is conceded by ev-
erybody that the required two-thirds,
ard more is safely within the pool. It.
would be so much stronger and so
much safer to have all within the
fold. A few scattering PURCHASES of
the 1922 crop have been made here
and there and very good prices have
been offered. OF course the blindest
and most stupid whether he opposed
or favored the organization can see
what those buyers in opposition have
in mind when they go out and offer
fair figures for scattering crops un-
pooled. Had the pool not been on
foot 1t is safe to say that the sales
already made would not have aver
ag.d more than 40 or so per cent of
the sums contracted for. Still they
say they are doing very well and re-
naming out. Yes, they are, maybe,
but who is making 1t possible? Had
you thought of that? And is there
not duty, somewhere to be per-
formed and kept? Shall profit by
my neighbors' work and actions. or
rather should we not profit by unit
ed action? To us the path OF duty
appears plain. We have no quarrel.
as matter of course, with those
who see differently. But what
life-saver complete union of tobacco
growers would most certainly prove,
the way to success and stability
would thereby be completely paved.
Put 1t up to your neighbor, don't fail
to see all Of them, 1t is duty you
owe no less than the duty they
ought to perform. 1t may be I'm
pleasant. but battles are never won
without fighting and good things
rarely ever secured except by persis-
tent and arduous labor.

Returns Final Indictment Naming
~ As Slayer; f34 True
Bills Reported.

Marion. ILL.,, Oct. 23.-The special
grand jury, which today resumed Its
investigation of the Herrin mine kill
ings after months recess, late this
ats rnoon returned an indictment
for murder. naming forty-eight per-
sons, announced it had completed its
work, and was adjourning. This
makes ABA indictments the grand
jury has returned in connection with
the rioting in which twenty-three
men were killed.
Those indicted today were charg-
ed with the death of Ignace Kubins,
the last victim of the rioting to ex-
pire, who died since the grand jury
took temporary adjournment thir-
ty days ago. Only a few witnesses
were heard today, and they are said
to have told of wounds inflicted on
Kubins. and which are said to have
resulted in his death.
Circuit Judge Hartw:ll before
whom the indictment was returned,
exressed the opinion that the true
bill is illegal because 1t was returned
at the September term of court by a
grand jury implnelled by the July
term of court. States Attorney Do
ty expressed an opposite opinion. and
stated he would appeal to the State
Supreme Court If the indictment was
declared illegal by the lower court.
