J ? Villn.nn, for the second timo since
Ulornfook on Sir. Stlllman as I would
. u n n sick mnn In a hospital, llo
Mny admirable qualities but he Is
M.Wnf like so many Wall street
lb.1? for? remember. Mr. Stlllman Is
S,t the only one of his klnd-not by a
IoB.?Tl!ef'ault seems fo He with the lives
Air lead down there. The constant
Sle for power, power, more power
ITrt II more power that is the llfo of
25. of tle men in the ntreet. The
wl mania for making money. It is
kli nowcr complex In such men that
turns Uiem away from their equals in
.Seir moments of rest from business, in
Sir moments of nitration.
''They turn to their inferiors because
-y want nothing to do with persons
, who consider theiiwclvcs their equals in
within. So It was that Mr. Stlllman
turned to that poor Mrs. Leeds and
filled his yncht with women. Was it
riiht or ten of them?
"He would have nothing to do with
bis own family. Such women as tiioso
I h&ro spoken of are mere phonographs
for the expression of certain emotions
such men.
"Tried to Destroy Own Home"
"Juat consider; Mr. Stillmnn's eldest
ion refused to shake hands Mlth hta
father after hearing of his way of llv
icy. Think of that. Doesn't it show
tint there was on abnormal condition
of mind In Mr. Stlllman? For surely
till was not a normal family condition.
"Then Mr. Stlllman tried to destroy
his own home, to demolish it and (ling
the wrecknjo all over the world. I
mean just that, for it wont nil over the
world. Why, I-bad a letter from Japan
co tills matter.
"A man of great "wealth and power
strikes at his own family and the foun
dations of his home. If the home ana
family can be crushed to fragments In
such fashion, what la to becoino of the
State, and of civilization itself, I can
almost say, If It does not seem to be at
taching too much importance to my
odf? "I think that what I nm passing
through Is of value to the world's
women and to society, in its brondest
Hnse. for if this thing that Mr. Stlll
kiq Is attempting can be done, it will
lira endless encouragement to the So
eJallsU and anarchists of the world.
"Already they, the radicals, are
pointing to us as people of high posi
tion and asking what is to becomo of
them if we arc allowed to wreak our
wlll on the world regardless of the
lifts of morality which we arc supposed
to uphold.
"Worso Than Bolshevik"
"So I feel that Mr. Stlllman is worso
than a Ilolshcvlk in what be is doing,
and it convinces mo that he is an ad
normal person, ns I have said. I feel
keenly what all this means. I can ap
preciate the feelings of those socialistic
people who would stone us for permit
ting these things to be. But it is not
'of my doing.
"Yet I could scarcely blame any one
who did attack us In the circumstances.
"And remember, again, that Stlllman
Is not the only person indulging himself
In such reckless fashion. He is not the
only onn in New York not by a long
khot."

FttANK JOHNSON
Ho Is cluu-gcd with inn shooting
and killing of Robert Vort (luring
a fight that followed alleged abu
sive langooge ofdrossed by Vogt
to Johnson and ills foster-mother,
regarding Johnson's working at a
plant where a strike Is on. John
son lives at 1708 North Park, avo
nuo, where tho slaying occurred
the question was pot, "aren't lyou wag
ing your fight mor for Guy thnn your
self?" "Well," came the answer, "I always
loved children. I understand children
and they seem to understand me. The
young people of what is called society
always were my favorites. I always
fought to have their 'rights recognlsod.
But rich men's children don't havo
ao cood a time because their parents arc
rich. They are almost to bo pitied bo
cause thoy do cot have the chanco to
develop ns other children do. They
are often laughed nt for their attempts
to wake up.
Says tho Kich Are Not Happy
"Tho rich nro not happy. It Is not
happiness to have eighteen servants. It
is not happiness to have tho: chair pushed
under one at tho table. It in rather n
bore, and one sickens of It if one has
any breadth of understanding."
So much and Mrs. Stlllman decided
on a spin and a tramp. Several mllr,i
beyond Wnpplngers Falls and closo by
a farmhouse came' an abrupt halt. Mrs.
Stlllman left her car. The newspaper
men left theirs.
Mrs. Stillmnn led the way. It was
over n stone wall, with a treacherous
bit of barbed wire nestling like a trap in
poison ivy. Incidentally, she discovered
the twining irritant and disclosed thnt
If she feared anything she feared poison
ivy. "I had a terrible time with it
once," sho said.
Thence the way led through a field,
waist high with wheat, through which
Mrs. Stlllman trudged with gusto.
"Isn't this fine?" she nsked, beaming.
"Isn't this great? No houses crowding
down on tho streets hero, no gasoline
to taint tho air."
But the questioners were again
rnnKed on the stone wall and she was
saying:
"1 nm an individualist. I think I
have won my spurs as tho equal of any
one in my family. I feel that equality
should be recognized in all women who
havo attained it."
Blames Stlllmnn's Adviser
A few more questions, turning the
talk back again to th banker. .
"Mr. Stillmnn," she said, following
the lead, "was not ns bad a man ns
one of his advisers has huccecded In
making him out to be. Thnt adviser is
essentially n woman -hnter who does not
believe In any woman. Ho would IKb
rlml In riniKh nn.l Irlll mn. I think, and
h has comDlnlncd that I. nm nlwnya
crawling out of the holes in which ho
la trying to bury me. But I intend to
keep right on crawling out. That is
whaf thAv tiftvf, tnnrlft vtia An.
"There aro many men of Stlllman'a
tmo of mind, abnormal, but, Unlike
him, they bellevo that no woman has
any right to life, much less to happi
ness, and least nf all to eauality. On
tho other hand, Mr. Stlllman had some
real friends, splendid people who rec
ognized tbo good qualities that ho pos
sessed. They have written to me in
amazement nnd with sympathy.
"This affair will tcuch a lesson to a
certain typo of mnn that will not .bo
fonrottcn soon, for American aenticmen.
rich and poor, of normal mind, do not
treat tho women of their families as
Stlllman and others have done. Tho
people of America will not long toler
ate it."
That ended the talk, for Mrs, Still
mnn climbed back into the machine for n
spin through tho country that kept her
from returning to tho .Mnck homo until
Inte In the evening.
Man Shoots Dead
Mother's Assailant
Contlaatd from rare One
breakers. After sho had made indignant
answer Mrs. Scnscmnn says the stranger
raised his h'and as if to striko her. She
stepped back.
"Then he said that ho would placard
my name from the houra to Fifteenth
street on Columbia avenue," Mrs
Sensemnn said this morning", "if I
didn't throw Frank nnd his family out
of the house. I was frightened, and as
ho raised his hand to striko mo Frank
enme up tbo stepB. The stranger asked
'Frank If ho was Johnson. Frank said
that ho was, and the man hit him in the
moutn.
"Frank hit back nnd they rolled down
tho steps togather. When they etruelt
tho pavement Frank was underneath.
Tho mnn got up first nnd just as he wn
about to kick lfranic in tho face Frank
orew his revolver nnd firod at htm."
Tho wounded man ran until he
reached Columbia avenue nnd Watts
street, where ho . collapsed from
loss of blood. The bullet had punctured
his lung nnd at St. Joseph's Hospital,
with n priest at bis bedside, he was told
bo was uying.
. Refuses to Give Address
"What is your name and address?"
asked the clergyman.
"My name is Robert Vogt," replied
the dying man. 'but x win die before
I'll tell whero I live." Ho became un
conscious shortly afterward and suc
cumbed to his injury beforo revenlin
his address. It Is believed that he live
near Eleventh and Berks streets.
Magistrate Rcnshaw, In Central Sta
tion today, held Johnson without bail
for the action of the Coroner, on the
chnnro of manslaughter.
Testimony of several witnesses was to
the effect that Vogt struck Johnson,
knocked him from his doorstep, nnd
wob menacing him ns he lay on the
ground when tnc fallen man produced n
revolver and tired.
All the testimony corroborated John
son'B statement to tho effect that he
shot in self defense.

Rid Your Home of Flies
the wonderful new method
It is astonishingly easy.
It is astonishingly quick
Spray Flyosan into the
air and a room will be
cleared of flies in five
minutes. They struggle
toward the windows and
drop dead on the sills.
Flyosan kills Hies by the roomful
And flies should be killed.
Flies as you know breed in garbage
and other filth. They never lose their
liking for it. Any strong odor attracts
them. They are particularly fond of
the odor of cooking.
That is why flies are thickest in the
kitchen and dining room.
Once in the house, a fly will wipe
his feet impartially in the sugar bowl,
on the cream pitcher, on the bread plate
or on the nipple of baby's bottle.
Do you know mat a single fly often
carries as many as 6,000,000 bacteria,
thousands of which lead directly to
sickness and disease?
Flies and Flyosan are
sworn enemies. Developed
during the war by a Chief
of Sanitation in the Gov
ernment service, Flyosan
is the most remarkable
discovery of its kind ever
made.
And note this comfort
ing fact : Flyosan, though quickly kill
ing flies and all other insect pests, is
positively harmless to human beings,
animals, birds and fowl. If you even
drank it by accident it would not harm
you. Flyosan absolutely is non
poisonous. What is Flyosan ?
Flyosan is a clear amber liquid which
you convert into a vapor by an ordinary,
inexpensive garden sprayer, which you
can procure at hardware and other
stores.
Plyosan is easy to use. It has a
pleasant aromatic odor. It will not
gum the hair of animals or the feathers
of fowl.

Flyosan kills all kinds of in
sects not one, but alt
kinds. Look at the follow
ing list :
Mosquitoes
To kill every one in your
bedroom, spray Flyosan bo
fore retiring. Flyosan is
harmless to you, but death
to mosquitoes.
Bed Bugs
every decent woman's
"horror of horrors." One
spray of Flyosan brings them
from their hiding places.
The second spray kills them.
No odor left behind
Fleas
carry the plague to
human beings and make
miserable the lives of cattle,
dogs and poultry. A good
spraying of Flyosan rids
animals of these torments.
Ants
Flyosan sprayed around
the kitchen, pantry and ice
box will destroy all ants
present and keep others out
of the house.
Cockroaches
One spray of Flyosan
brings these filthy bugs out
into the open. Another fin
ishes them.
Lice
feed on warm - blooded
animals includingman, cattle
and poultry, and carry dis
ease. A spraying of Flyosan
kills these vermin and
prevents hidden nits from
hatching.
Moths
Flyosan does away with
the need for expensive cedar
chests and "smelly" moth
balls. Spray Flyosan in a
closet full of clothes and shut
the door quickly. Soon th
moths will be dead.
Flyosan is used by
U. S. Army, Navy nnd Marine
Corps
