Her Attornoys
NO TRUCE IN CASE YET
New York, Mnrrh US, Attnrnrj for
Mrs. Anne T'rqiihnrt Stillninn have de
cided to make n new motion in her de
fense njinintit the divorce nrtion of
.Inmes A. Stillman. president of the
National City Hank, it was lenrned
yrstcrcln.v. nnd M1 seek to submit ad
ditional nftidnvit. nleRlne intlninr.v on
the pnrt of Mr. Stillman with n woman
other than Mrs. Florence If. I.pimI.
whom Mrs Stillman named in her first
amended answer to her husband'
complaint.
This action, which wan taken to in
dicate the intetil nf Mrs. Stillmun and
her nttornejs tn press their eotinter
offensive as the moot effeetive wny of
meetlnc the banker's attack, was said
to have been decided upon nt a confer
ence of Mrs Stillnum'.s nttornejs In
New York citr
Kvery effort has been made to keep
secret the nntne nf this alleged "second
woman" in the hope on the pnrt of '
Mrs Stillman's attorneys that the '
pmcntalion nf her name would be np
(treat a surprise to Mr. Stillman's law
yers as were the affidavits brlncinR In '
the name of Mrs t.ecds
It was reported mnn than n week ns
that agents of Mrs Stillman were In- ,
vestlpatlnc reports thnt the banker had ,
been on terms nf Intimate friendship I
with another woman. It was said that
clues furnished b friends of Mrs Still
man had been followed nnd that severnl '
affida .-iLs had been obtained.
.Iti't how this new motion would be j
presented could not be lenrned. but It
was nssutned that. It nrobabl would be
a request for permission tn nmend fur
ther Mrs. HtlUfiinn'fl nnswer. tt wn
said definitely that this motion would
not be made until after Supreme Court
.lust lee Morselinuscr had rendered his
decision on the motion for alimony and
counsel fees, which he Is expected to do
this week.
News that Mrs. Stillman intended to
fight back by naming nnntner woman
tended to lessen the talk of the possl
hlllty that there might be a discontin
uance of the divorce action by an
agreement to which she would be a
party. The possibility that Mr. Still
man might seek to abandon the divorce
notion was not denied.
Confidence was expressed by Mrs
Stillman's attorneys that they could
successfullv defend the legitimacy of
Oiiv Stillman, youngest son of Mrs.
Stillman, If the banker or his lawyers
should decide to concentrate upon Hint
Issue of the case.

Why Wall street
is reading a
Philadelphia paper
A business man with large interests said to us
recently: "Do you know that all Wall Street is
reading the Public Ledger?"
When asked why, he replied, "To get Evans'
daily letter from Chicago. Bankers say it is
the clearest and sanest financial letter that ever
came out of the Middle West."
That the world's greatest money center, well
served by an excellent local press, should look
for its Chicago news to a paper published in
another city, is eloquent testimony to the
brilliance of the report which Clinton B. Evans
puts on the wire from Chicago six nights a
week.
Mr. Evans has for years been editor of the
Economist, the leading financial paper of the
West.
That cities other than New York appreciate
his letter is shown by the fact that many
newspapers print it regularly by arrangement
with the Ledger Syndicate.
