! SENSATION IN SUIT
Banker Produces Alleged
"Confession" Letter of
7 Wife in Divorce Case.
By the Associated Press,

By the Associated Press.
NEW YORK, November S.-An un-
signed document, referred to by coun-
sci for James A. Stillman as "the con-
fession letter." which was ruled out
of evidence by Referee Gleason as a
privileged communication from wife
to husband during the hearing of the
bankers divorce suit, yesterday was
the supreme court
Mr.. Stillman, who had charged Fred
Beauvais, Indian guide, with being
the father of Baby Guy" Stiliman,
used the letter as the basis for an
appeal from a decision of Justice
Morschauser. This decision had con-
firmed a report submitted by Referee
Gleason generating Mrs. Stillman
and upholding the legitimacy of Guy.
AS filed today, the letter, which
Mrs. Stillman has denied writing, con-
tanned more than 1000 words. 1t
poorly punctuated. 1t bore the date
line Buffalo and purported to have
been written in April, 1918. 1t was
addressed to Dear Jimmie"
Letter UngrammaticaI.
The letter as filed in court read, i'll
part:
IT am not smashed. but if you loved
all your family and were going to
have an Indian baby that You tried
not to hate; that there is not a spot
for you with honor or peace; that
you were ill and tired; that a dear
little man with whispers tells you that
the world is a good place and that
the hard, blind people are to be pitied,
for they know nothing of what they
miss"
''I was cold" the letter continued
80 lonely, and that broke him; he
was honorable, but / broke him and
all his dreams. and that is so cruel
that when you break all those that
love you tumble, with me-"
The letter was ungrammatical and
poorly punctuated.
Another line in the letter was as
follows:
II won't write you of what the cold
and Canada were to me. Fred meant
to be kind, but he had won me and
was his and no one else wanted me
and he issmuch Indian" And further
appears this: II was too proud to
break, but 1 broke just the same in
the arms of my Indian"

FORESTRY BUREAU WILL
 REMAIN WITH WALLACE

WASHINGTON, Jan. 2-Conser- yationists of the "Rooseveltian days" under the leadership of Gov ernor-elcct Pinchot of Pennsylvania. have won an important victory in their fight to conserve the forests of the country. it was learned here.
 As result of the recent confer cnce here. a pledge has been ob- tained from President Harding that in the government reorganization plan now under consideration the executive will not approve of the transfer of the Forest Bureau from Secretary Wallace's Departemnt of Agriculture to Secretary Falls De- parlment of the Interior.
 i ConrervationIsts have strongly opposed their transfer on the grounds that under Secretary Falls policies regarding public lands too much of the diminishing timber re- serve of the country would be op- ened for cutting and the country now is being cut four times as fast as it is being reinforced, the ccnservationists claim.

 Secretary Wallace, backed by both the ccnservaticnists and leading members of the farm bloc in Con- gross. was absolutely opposed to the transfer. Secretary Fall strongly favored it and reports have been current here that the Interior Sec- Iretary would resign as a result of the Presidents action
