IN STILLMAN CASE
Sttlement Expected Today in
Which Paternity of Boy Will
' Bo Acknowledged
ALIMONY NOW ONLY HITCH
New York. Mny 23. A complete et
tleatent out of court .of the Stillman
Hwee cue mt)' bo reached at n ton
ftrence which Ir expected to be held
'bit today. The conference, It
, to jeported. will be attended !y legal
xtfroientaUves of the honker, of Mr.
'Stillman and by John K. Mack, guar
Mt ad litem for the boy Ouv, now
Mrty-onc months old.
tfr. Mack's participation In n.iy ul
testate settlement In essentia'.. It In
cer'aln he will not In any circumstance
agree to an arrangement worn would
not remove all reflection on (lie birth
. 0"7.
Step TaJieu to Protect Gny
It was learned Mr. Mack hasJnsiHtcd
that every precaution be tnken 'to pro
tect the rights of the child. lie will
insist. It was paid, that the attorney
on both sides include a clnuse
recofnlftng the legitimacy of Any In
ny stipulation that may be agreed
upon and that n statement declaring
recocnltlon of bis legitimacy he included
in the order of the court. If. ns ex
peeled. Justice Morschnuscr grants an
order of discontinuance.
It continued to be the belief among
Mr. Btlllmnn's friends tliot he would
probably go abroad, at least for n time,
nod might make bis homo In Farls. Mr.
fUUlman was said to feel keenly the
publicity that has attended his divorce
action and to have expressed dread of
tilt further publicity wtileb he expected
when Mrs. Stttlman began to offer wit
nesses for her "afflrmntrv defense."
"Fear of Consoqucctcea" Mentioned
"Fear of consequence" was nnothc.r
motive in his desire to drop the suit,
according to a person who tins been In
touch with the case from its beginning.
The person explained that the naming
of Mrs. Florence H. Leeds by Mrs.
8tlUman and the threat of thn defennc
that they would offer testimony con
cerning his relations with at 1eat nine
Other women had made Mr. Stillman
apprehensive.
This apprehension wns intcnsilied, it
was said, by the fact that neither Mr.
Stillman nor his counsel knew exncttv
the testimony that the defense intended
to offer. An attempt to throw a search
Ugh upon bis private life for the liM
ten years was something to which Mr.
Stillman was said to have looked for
ward to with anything but pleasure,
and he was said to ha-e expected thnt
the unfavorable publicity when Mrs.
Stillman' witnesses testiflod would be
ITM more widespread than it has been.
Danker Gives In
The present negotiations looking to
ward a settlement were Instituted. It is
said, a few days ngo by Mr. Stillman.
No oaDers of any kind have been slimed.
but it Is almost assured that the banker
has capitulated and will agree to a set
Uement that Is a victory for Mrs. Still
man and Guy.
Mrs. Stillman, accompanied by two
friends of high social position, went to
Poughkeepsie by automobile last Thurs
day, They were driven by seventeen -
year-old "Bud" Stillman. There they
want into a two-hour conference with
Mr. Mack., Neither Mr. Mack nor rep
resentatives of Mrs. Stillman would
make any statement as to what took
place at this conference, but ft was so
arranged, it Is reported, tbat Mr. Macs
might advise Mrs, Stillman what terms
of settlement to accept.
Hero Are the Terms
These terms will be :
Acknowledgment of the paternity of
Our by Mr. Stillman.
An adequate financial settlement on
Mrs. Stitlman.
Withdrawal of the divorce action.
The rise of the financial sett'ement
to be granted by the banker Is thought
to be the last hitch and that mar be
finally determined soon. Mrs. Stilfmnti
ia aaid to be demanding $00,000 a year,
which is on the basis of the $7,500 a
month alimony recently awarded her by
Sapreme Court Justice Morchauser,
Mstllng the outcome of the divorce ac
tion. Attorneys for Mr. Stillman are
reported to have declared this amount
excessive, but arc continuing to negoti
ate. The figure they name Is said to be
171,000 a year.

"The automobile Industry dors not

Harper declared, "but It does object to
paying discriminatory" taxes. There is
a nrevnlent belief tlint-iutomobllp deal

"The Interests of thcie men are those
of merchants suffering from numerous

fair taxation," Mr. Harper told the
committee. "The automobile dealer
cannot pass on his taxes to the con
sumer, for the reason tbat the price of

must therefore either pocket the loss
himself or collect It by Increasing the
price of repair parts, which In turn
places nn unfair burden on the malntc
