World Trade Will Seek American
Markets Regardless ol Fordney
Duties, Declares Congressman
lowa Republican, Discussing: Cotton Schedule, Says It
Will Work to Advantage of Grower and Manufac
turer Alike.
WASHINGTON.—WorId trade will
continue to seek out American mar
kets regardless of the duties imposed
by the Fordney tariff bill, Represen
tative Green, of lowa, ranking Repub
lican of the Ways and Means Commit
tee, told the house Wednesday during
consideration of the measure. The
argument that the tariff would cut off
imports with a resultant drop in ex
ports, he said, was fallacious and
without basis.
Discussing the cotton schedule, the
lowa member expressed the belief it
would work to the advantage of grow
er and manufacturer alike. He said
the raw material was placed on the
free list since the exports were enor
mous, and the imports inconsequen*
The largest items of imports, ac
cording to Mr. Green, are Egyptian
long staple cotton and some particu
lar kinds from Peru, China and India,
which do not compete directly with
the American product. With respect
to rates on long staple, he said, the
committee found it could not consider
a duty high enough to maintain the
American long staple industry as the
growers had said they muet have at
least 20 cents a pound. The duty of
7 cents a pound, imposed on long sta
ple cotton in the emergency law. has
•lone nothing for the great bulk of
cotton growers, he said, adding that
the customs officials had been almost
wholly unable to administer the com
pensatory duties under that schedule

STILLMAN'S LAWYERS
ADMITS HE LIVED
WITH MRS. LEEDS
CHICAGO.—Mrs. Anne U. Stillman,
of New York, who is resting at the
Harold McCormick estate in Lake
Forest. 111., made only the briefest
comment over what her lawyers call
ed her victory Wednesday at Pough
keepsie, N. Y., over her husband,
James A. Stillman, banker, In his suit
for divorce.
‘‘l am very glad to receive the
news,” was all she would say.
Her lawyers’ jubilation was caused
by a statement by the banker's coun
sel that evidence in support of alle
gations of intimacy between the bank
er and Florence Leeds, a former show
girl, would not be disputed.
POUGHKEEPSIE. N. Y—H. Phelps
Clawson, son of a wealthy Buffalo
manufacturer, was called Thursday to
test if v for Mrs. Anna U. Sti lman, de
fendant in the divorce action brought
by James A. Stillman, wealthy New
York banker.
Mr Clawson’s testimony was ex
pected to have an important bearing
on establishing the paternity of Guy
Stillman, the infant whose legitimacy
was questioned by Mr. Stillman. It
was said Mr. Clawson would tell of
visits which the banker made to his
estate in the pocantico Hills on three
occasions in January, 1918, whi'e Mrs
Stillman was there.
He would testify, it was said that
the husband and wife apparently were
congenial and happy together, and
that Mr. Stillman twice during the
month remained overnight on the es
tate. Guy Stillman was born- the fol
lowing autumn.
Frank Murphy, who was a steward
on the Stillman yacht “Modesty, was
expected to testify Thursday regard
ing alleged misconduct between Mr.
Stil man and Florence H- Leeds for
mer Broadway show girl, named by
Mrs Stillman in her amended answer
to her husband's complaint.
POUGHKEEPSIE. N. Y.—After half
a dozen witnesses had testified Wed
nesday to intimate relations between
Janv'S A. Stillman, wealthy New York
banker and divorce plaintiff, and Flor
ence H. Leeds, former Broadway
show girl, the banker’s counsel de
clared they would not dispute or con
tradict the evidence and asked Ref
eree Gleason to rule that no further
evidence 1 e required as to these re
lations The referee denied the re
quest after it had evoked protests
from the lawyers representing Mrs.
Anne IT. Stillman, the defendant.
Colonel William Rand, of Mr. Still
man's counsel, was quoted as saying
that "no occasion exists for adduc
ing further proof except to satisfy a
pruiient public."
Follow ing the testimony against the
banker. Colonel Rand was said to
have stated:
“It now appears by the evidence
that Mr. Stillman occupied an apart
ment at 61 East 86th Street. New
York, with one Florence H. Leeds, and
that he was known there as Franklin
Harold Leeds . . . that he accompa
nied her to various places, was seen
carrying her baby Jay In his arms:
that in December. 1916, he opened up
a bank account in her name as Miss
Florence H. Leeds, and informed the
hank that if the account became short
to notify him.
The account became short and he
was notified; the account was immedi
ately good.
"It further appears that at Rest
Uourt, Stoney Brook., Long Island, he
lived with Mrs. Leeds ns her hus
band, was known there as Mr. Levels,
and paid the chauffeur employed
there.”
Colonel Rand then stated that If
the referee was ready upon the evi
dence to make a finding in regard to
Mr. Stillman's relations w ith Florence
Leeds, and if he was satisfied from
the evidence "that there is no col
lusion, we wish to state that the evi
dence will not be disputed nr contra
dicted.” He then asked that no fur
ther evidence be required as to Mr.
Ktillman's relations with women other
than his wife.
Attorneys for Mrs Stillman Insisted
they should be allowed to try the
esre “in their own way,” In
that the evidence might satisfy pos
sible questioning before higher courts.

macy Mr. Stillman has questioned.

tinued Mr. Green, “to make the cot
ton schedules presented the most sci
entific of any that has heretofore been
presented for this line of manufac
tures. The complicated system of the
tariff of 1909 was deemed wholly un
necessary by this committee. More
over, its use produced many errors.
Not only were widely different duties
put on cloths that had but slight dif
ference in composition, but in some
instances the computations of the
tariff commission show that a lower
duty would be obtained by advancing
the valuation and instead of the or
dinary temptation to undervalue the
absurd results wore produced of an
over-valuation defrauding the reve
nue.
“The tariff commission proposed
the system of yarn count for the ba
sic specific duties, making the duty
on ordinary yarns and cloths depend
on the fineness of the yarn. This sys
tem is perfectly plain and can not
be misunderstood.
"The number of count as applied
to cotton yarn means the number of
840 yard hanks that weigh one pound.
The same basis was used in the Un
derwood bill, hut both the Underwood
and the Payne bills, had what has
been referred to as ‘jumps’ In the du
ties. while under the present bill the
graduations are uniform in accord
ance with the number of the yarn un
til thespeclflc duties reach number 120
at which point no further advance
ment is made as no yarns above that
number of any consequence are made
In this country.”
declared he desired to present the In
timacy between Mr. Stillman and Mrs
Leeds in the utmost detail, charging
that for almost five years their rela
tions had been practically those of
man and wife.”
Referee Gleason ruled that the de
fense proceed with presentation of
evidence at least for the moment. It
was predicted that Thursday would
bring forth testimony intended to
show misconduct by Mr. Stillman and
Mrs. Leeds aboard the banker s yacht
“Modesty.”

checks and that in August. 1917, the
banker had the account changed to

He identified three applications for

TRYING TO DESTROY
PROHI INFORCEMENT,
SAYS WAYNE WHEELER
tt ASHINGTON, f). C. —Declaring
that the eleventh hour rally in the
senate to save medical beer as a sub
stitute for booze shows the purpose
of the opposition to destroy prohibi
tion enforcement,” Wayne B. Wheet
er. general counsel of the Anti-Saloon
League, in a statement Thursday
said “the proposed law limiting pre
scription as alcohol by physicians
is a protection to that large percent
age of the medical profession who
are true to their ideals.”
“Medical beer.” the statement said,
“is not recognized in the medical
profession or in the prohibition laws
of the states.” and the proposed law,"
penalizes only the guilty.”
"The anxiety of the irreconcilable
wets like Senator Wadsworth about
bringing prohibition into disrepute
with the pending bill fools no one,"
Mr. Wheeler continued.
"If some of those violent opponents
of prohibition thought this bill would
accomplish that purpose they would
not opnose it. The real friends of
the 18th amendment are not disturbed
over the enactment of a measure that
means honest law enforcement.
“There never has been a prohibiten
law that did not control the prescrib
ing of liquor. These laws have been
universally upheld. Experience shows
that one doctor In a community may
prostitute his profession and become
a liquor purveyor and menace the
whole community. This is why the
American Medical Association at Its
recent meeting in Boston condemned
these unworthy members of the pro
fession.”

TOM WATSON AID
SENATOR MYERS
CLASH II SENATE
WASHINGTON.—An agreement for
a vote Friday at 3 o'clock on the mo
tion to recommit the soldiers bonus
bill was reached by the senate late
Wednesday by unanimous consent.
The result of the vote, leaders of both
factions agreed, was not in doubt,
recommital as requested by President
Harding in his address Tuesday to the
senate being deemed certain.
Senator Lodge of Massachusetts, re
publican leader, secured the agree
ment at the close pf another day’s as
sault by democratic senators. Mr.
Lodge said the recommital motion was
in the way of other important meas
ures such as the anti-beer and ma
ternity bil's. In agreeing to a vote,
however, democrats gave notice that
they would not only oppose the repub
lican motion but also would seek to
instruct the finance committee to re
port the bill back at an early date.
Senator Watson of Georgia ami Hef
lln of Alabama, led the democratic at
tack Wednesday on the motion to re
commit. Senator Myers, democrat,
Montana, however, advocated recom
mital and much of the day was given
to a c’ash between him and Senator
Watson.
The voting agreement involves hold
ing the bonus measure and the re
commital motion before the senate
continuously until the roll call Friday.
Private overtures for a vote Thurs
day were rejected by democratic sena
tors who insisted that ample time
should be given for presenting the op
position arguments to the country.
That President Harding had ex
ceeded his constitutional limitations
in asking the senate to postpone con
sideration of the bill was asserted by
Senator Watson. The republican
move, he said, was to send the hill to
a "chloroform committee presided by
a chloroform senator.” That the re
pub’lcans proposed “putting the hill
to sleep forever” was asserted also by
Senator Heflin. Senator Heflin charg
ed that big money interests had con
tributed to election of a republican
president and congress and now were
saving:
"Deliver the goods.”
The same interests were threatening
to cause a panic if the hill should pass.
He contended that the treasury was
amply able to bear the burden of the
bill.
Senator Watfcon diverted from his
discussion of the bonus hill to attack
the selective draft. The great battles
of the world, he asserted, were all won
by volunteer troops.
Drafted soldiers from the United
States, "without political pull,” lie de
clared were transported to Europe "on
nasty British cattle ships” and ‘‘many
of them fed by Chinese coolies to keep
from starving."
"Volunteers do not need to be dis
ciplined by ‘hard-boiled’ Smiths nor
require to he fed by Chinese coo’ies,"
ho went on, and then turned to attack
“Herbert Hoover’s wheatless and
meatless days.” and "the speculation
by the Red Cross.”
Senator Watson said If he had his
way he would invoke a civil war law
authorizing the secretary of the treas
ury to issue one hundred and two mil
lion dollars in greenbacks and ‘‘dis
tribute them to the soldiers of the
World war. first come first served.”
He went on to say he then would give
the billion dol'ars in gold reserve In
the treasury to the former service men.
In a sarcastic reply, Senator Myers,
democrat. Montana, said Mr. Watson’s
speech was a "brilliant oration" and
an "intellectual gem." The Georgia
senator’s reputation had preceded him.
Senator Myers said and he had expect,
ed “intellectual slugging and annihila
tion” for any one who differed with
him.
Senator Myers said Senator Watson
owed apologies to the American le
gion and that the Georgia senator a’so
had aspersed the soldiers of the Con
federacy by declaring that conscripted
soldiers were unwilling.”
ADVERSE REPORTS ON
WATER POWER BILLS
ATLANTA. Ga. —Adverse commit

of the Georgia legislature Wednesday
on two bills of the Municipal League,
which Its members contended would
make possible development of Geor
gia’s latent waterpower to extend cur
rent and power facilities to small com
munities which they declared is now
blocked by the rates charged by pri
vate concerns.
Opponents of the measures objected
to using the state's credit in this
manner or of permitting counties and
municipalities incurring debts for this
purpose, while others declared mu
nicipal operation had proved a fail

SOLDIERS ARE TO GO
AHEAD WITH FIGHT
FOR SERVICE BONUS
INDIANAPOLIS. Ind.—The Ameri
can legion will flight on for adjusted
compensation without change in its
provisions of its present program fol
lowing the message of President Hard
ing to the senate urging delayed ac
tion. John G. Emery, legion national
commander, said in a statement is
sued from national headquarters here
Wednesday.
“The sudden alarm which apparently
has swept over government officials,
lest through adjusted compensation
the United States treasury he so de
pleted as to mean national calamity,
will cause no recession of our activity
to bring about such measures of civil
re-establishment and material read
justment as we believe to be for the
best interest of the country itself,” Mr.
Emery declared.
“Our claims for adjusted compensa
tion were not made until by a care
ful study the conditions of our ex
service men were ascertained which
beyond any doubt justify every pro
vision set forth in the adjusted com
pensation bill.” he said. “I believe
that Scretary Mellon vastly over-esti
mates the cost of such provisions. Pre
cedent disapproves his prediction of
financial collapse if the adjusted com
pensation bill passes. England and
her over-seas dominions, France, Italy,
and Belgium enacted national relief
legis'ation and found money thus ex
pended a potent factor in stabilizing
economic conditions generally through
rehabilitation of individuals.
The legion heartily concurs with the
report of the senate finance commit
tee which stated:
" ‘The general assumption that the
enactment of this bill into law will
immediately load upon the backs of an
already exeessive'y tax burdened pub
lic an immense additional liability is
unwarranted.*
"The American legion, in pressing
this measure, has fairly represented
the ex-service men of this country,
who would certainly be the last to
threaten the stability of the country
for which they offered their lives. We
earnestly believe that there has been
too much delay a ready, and this be
lief Is founded upon the absolute
knowledge of the present economic
state of veterans, more than 500,000
of whom are unemployed.
"We believe that industrial condi
tions require immediate equalization
of the economic balance between men
who fought at financial sacrifice and
the man who retrained at financial
gain, and who if he lived frugally as
soldiers lived in flush war wage days
should have saved enough to tide over
the present emergency. We waited pa
tiently the passage of industrial relief
measures and many less urgent bills.
We now ask merely fair consideration
and equal opportunity for those who
served.”
Mr. Emery today wired Senator Por
ter J. Mc<'umber, who has led the
light on the senate floor for the le
gion measure, the recommitment of
the bill the committee must not be
permitted. As the bill seemed doomed
to a'most certain delay Mr. Emery
wired:
"The legion earnestly requests that
members of congress do their duty by
those who served in armed forces as
they have done by those who served in
industrial forces of our country.”
Dismiss Charges
Against Constable
Magistrate Bryson, Wednesday dis
missed the charges of asasult with In
tent to murder preferred against T.
M Kelly, local constable, by Fannie
Roberson, colored, of 1533 Chestnut
street.
The woman made charges to the ef
fect that he came to her house and
after posing as a federal officer struck
her in the head with a “black jack"
several times, Inflicting u painful
wound.
These allegations were denied by
tlie officer, who stated to the court
that he went to the woman’s house
with a distress warrant, and that he
struck her after she had drawn a shot
gun on him. He denied that he had
even attempted to pose as a federal
officer, and that it. was his opinion,
that the woman was aware of the fact
that he was a state officer.
It being very evident to the court
that the officer hit the woman in self
defense, and that the other allegations
were not true, the case was dismissed.

It is very difficult to give you help

entirely on the diagnosis of the con

though the arches hav*. not become
flat, they may he weak and respon

I suggest that you discuss the mat

Catarrh.
I am desirous of getting information
as to the use of radium appliances and
preparations In the treatment oi
chronic nasal catarrh.
Ho far as I am aware, this condi
tion is not successfully treated by ra
dium. With the present interest In
radio-active substances, a number of
unscrupulous manufacturers of patent
nostrums and “cure alls’’ are adver
tising all kinds of alleged radium ap
pllanccs for the treatment of a large
variety of diseases. 1 would urge
you to beware of such concerns.
If you are suffering from chronic
nasal catarrh, place yourself under the
care of a qualified specialist, and fol
low his advice.
There are some forms of nasal ca
tarrh in which proper treatment can
effect a, cure. In otheri th< di
struct lon of the mucous membrane
and other changes in the nose have
progressed so far, that there Is no
possible way to restore the parts to

All that ran then he done is to re

proper treatment usually affords con
siderable relief.

State’s Statement.
This is the unbiased record. This
Ik what Prosecutor Frank L. Stephen
has to add to It:
“We do not credit Mrs. Southard s
claim that she thinks she is a typhoid
carrier, and that it was this that
may have caused her husbands’
deaths. Regardless of what doctors’
certificates showed, we have found
proof of arsenic poisoning. What is
n re, all Ithe men revealed the same
symptoms, and they were not the
symptoms of typhoid.
“We will claim that arsenic was
obtained by an extracting process from
tlv paper. And the evidence will
show* thnt quantities of fly-paper were
found hidden near where two of the
men died.”
Bodies Exhumed.
After the state Investigation was
begun, the bodies wero exhumed and
scientific analyses made.
Lyda approaches the climaxing chap
ter in her strange matrimonial serial
cheerfully. Whatever her inner
thoughts may be. she views the com
ing ordeal with outward calm. Phys
ically she shows the strain, of course,
but she greets callers and jailers with
a smile.
Against the amazing chain of cir
cumstantial evidence that the state
has drawn up, Mrs. Southard thus
far lias submitted only her claim of
having doctors’ certificates as proof
of the cause of her husband’s deaths.
She has made only one public state
ment Thnt was given out through
her attorneys and declared her Inno
cence.
