STILLMAN RECONCILIATION IN AID OF CHILDREN BELIEVED REACHED;
 BOTH SIDES MUM ON INTENTIONS

Mrs. Stillman remained and relaxed Sunday as the bridal pair journeyed to Canada on their honeymoon after being dinner guests of the banker in his town house in Manhattan.
 The litigation with his wife was not profitable to Stillman, either ill prestige or finances, for when he sued for divorce. naming Beauvais, and seeking to attack the legitimacy of Guy Stillman, youngest child of the couple, Mrs. Stillman won on both counts.

WILLING TO DO WHATEVER IS BEST" SAYS WIFE AS GOSSIP OVER WEDDING OF DAUGHTER AND MEETING OF PAIR POINT ED OUT.

PLEASANTvILLE, N. r., Nov. 12. The great Stillman divorce case is at an end.
 An informal truce, which may eventually pave the way to com- plete reconciliation has been tacitly agreed to by James A. Stillman, the banker, and his wife, Mrs. Anne U. Stillman.s All legal proceedings pend ing against his wife, have been with drawn from the courts by the bank CT, and it is doubtful if any others will be pressed.
 Stranger and more dramatic al- ready than even the most highly imaginative cinema thriller, the sen sational complications in the lives of the banker and his wife, the former Anne Urquhart Potter, now are said to bemoving to a reasonably happy ending.
 And in common with the rest of it-as real life sometimes follows the imagery of the screen-this cul- imitation has been brought about by the memory of little girl child over whose tiny form both the banker and his wife bent in mutual love in the happier days of long ago.
 This child was Anne Stillman, the girl who suffered most of all when the split between her parents came
 It was her widding to young Henry Pomeroy Davison, which eliminated the bitterness-or some of it, least-from the hearts of her par ents, the bitterness of struggle which shocked society.
 Whether it was Anne's work of not, whether her tender regard for both parents accomplished it, the wedding was proceeded by the amaz- ing picture of Mr. and Mrs. Stillman having breakfast together with their daughter and their sons, the first complete reunion of the family in three long years.
 This breakfast was served in the breakfast room of the Manor house oi the Stillmans at Mondanne, the beautiful home which the banker built for his wife aid named in her honor.
 There was no taDic in the break fast room. It was buffet service Upon Stillman's entry Mrs. Stillman shook hands with her husband, in a manner decidedly reminiscent of the old cordiality.
 Sillman began t. thaw several weeks before the wedding. He per sonally supervised the preparation of his wedding gift to his daughter string of pearls wortn more than S100,000.
 Furthermore, for the first time in several years, his voice began to be heard over the telephone at Mond- anne once more. He called up daily, making arrangements, joining in the plans for his daughters welding.
 He and his wife agreed-for the first time they have agreed on any thing since they agreed four years ago to disagree and indulge in bitter accusations and recriminationS, ht naming Fred Beauvais, Quebec In dian guide correspondent, and she naming Flo Leeds, former roof show beauty-that Anne must be happy on her wedding day"

ruptcy of Samuel J. Steinberger,
who conducted the Arlington Hotel,

claring that he is the owner Of the

Senate Is Asked to Pay
Funeral Expenses Of
John, The Barber

The Senate today was asked
to pay the funeral expenses of
a negro, known as "John the
Barber" who for more than
half century dispensed shaves,
haircuts and shampoos to SEN
ators of the United States. A
resolution, sponsored by Sen
ator Charles Curtis (Rep.) of
Kansas, would pay 81, 200 as .
memoriam to his family.
The record of John, formerly
a slave, was one of constancy.
He came to the Senate in
1865, just as the civil war
ended, and he remained until
he died a few months ago.
The length of his service
fifty-eight years-has never
been excelled among Senate
employees.
John was barbering in the
Capitol before ten of the pres
ent States entered the Union.
He attended every Senator who
ever served from the States of
Colorado, Idaho, Montana, Ne
braska, Nevada, North Dakota,
Oklahoma, South Dakota, Utah,
Washington, West Virginia,
and Wyoming, except the new
members seated last March.

DO YOUR LEAPING NOW.

Dear Bill: I do not see that
anybody has accepted the invita-
ton IN your columen to make
knOa0n those girls who haze erer-
cised their Leap Year privileges
and proposed. Maybe you'U get
some good ne1Os later on. HOsU-
eVer, I knoaU some girls who haze
been going Nth the same "steGd-
les" for long time and the
young men stiU appear to be
backward. Why not urge them
to get busy and leap right into
the game through the Leap Year
route? YNGO JAKE.
To those girls who have "steadies"
Who have cOuFted them 80 long
without reaching the fateful point
That brings Joy and song,
Let us give these words Of advice:
Tell 'em you love 'em strong.
But II they don't want to marry
They'd better move along!

COMPANIES
ASK FOR
DELAY
Motive Seen in Desire to Have
New Board Pass on
Matter.

Hearings on proposed deprecia-
ton rules for public utility cor
porations in the District were in
definitely postponed by the Pub
lish Utilities Commission today
after representatives of the vari-
Gus utilities protested that they
had not been given sufficient time
to prepare for the hearings.
Ham Questions Authority.
Another objection was offered by
William F. Ham, president of the
Washington Railway and Electric
Company, who said he was still in
the dark as to whether the local
commission has jurisdiction over his
company in the matter Of deprecia-
ton. He says two cases are now
before the United States Supreme
Court, which will establish defi-
nitely, when decided, whether the
w. r. & e. is under the control of
the local commissioner of the Inter-
state Commerce Commission.

the hearings, 1t appeared very sig.
nificant that the corpOratiOns did
not want to begin the hearings for
1T least fOG'ty-fiVe days. Within this
time or a few days after, two new
District Commissioners may be ap
pointed. This would mean that
there would be an entirely new
commission, with the exception OI
the Engineer Commissioner to take
up the hearings, and there is, OI
course, a possibility that q new sci
Of Commissioners might take a
more liberal attitude i'm the depre.
citation question than the present
board is now taking.
When the hearings opened, all
companies asked for a postpone
ment. They said they were prepar
ing annual reports, getting ready
for hearings before Congress and
preparing for cases in the courts
Opposed to Continuance.
The commission indicated very
strongly that it opposed a contin-
uance. Commissioners Bell and
Oyster declared they wanted to
settle the depreciation question now.
They were vigorously opposed to a
delay.
However, the arguments of the
company were apparently so force
full that delay was granted.
Under present plans before the
next public hearinng, representa-
tives of the corporations will con-
fer informally with the commission
to discuss tentative depreciation
rules. Such rules will be drawn
mp and will be considered at pub
dc hearing.
The depreciation question is a
most important one. 1t is expected
to have material affect in the
future on the rates charges by
the public service companies.

Senator George w. Norris, of Ne
