BMILEI1 SmiMM mm )ivunia Station, Related. 4.' NEW YORK, June 3. (Special.) A new and hitherto undiscovered "love net" of James A. Stillman. ex president of the National City bank, and'the woman as whose husband h was posing, Mrs. Florence Leeds, was brought to light today. It was Malba. L. I., which is between Col lege Point and Whitestone, within half hour's run from the Pennsyl vania station here, and by far the nearest suburban place "Mr. Leeds' (as he called himself) ever engaged "Mr. and Mrs. Leeds," and their baby. "Jay Leeds," lived there in an 11-room house during June and July of last year, but left, with two more months of their tenantship to go. be cause, it was said, of a quarrel be tween "Mrs. Leeds" and a Mrs. Glld den. housekeeper of the place. This quarrel, curiously enough, occurred over nothing more serious than the correct way in which fudge ehoulu be made. Renting; of Plnee Related. According to information obtained by a reporter, a woman calling her self Mrs. Glidden. of middle age, looked over the Long island neigh borhood betwen Malba and College Point last spring. She said she rep resented a Mr. Leeds, a gentleman of wealth, who was seeking a summer home for his wife and baby come where near the waters of the sound. Howard H. Hamilton, a well-to-do tobacconist, had an 11-room house looking out Upon Powell s cove in one direction and the hills of Great Neck in another. Upon being as sured of "Mr. Leeds" " .financial re sponsibility, he agreed to let this place out for $623 a month, or j-'ouo for the season. "Mr. Leeds," whom Mr. Hamilton met. agreed upon the terms, and he and "Mrs. Leede ana the baby moved into the place. Reeognition In Admitted. Mr. Hamilton admitted today that he had subsequently recognized air. and Mrs. leeds" from the newspaper photographs published in connection with the Stillman case. According to what the whole neigh borhood learned, Mrs. Leeds" and the housekeeper, Mrs. Glidden, were making some fudge when a disagree ment arose as to the best recipe. This wound up in mutual recriminations, it was said. "Mrs. Leeds" accusing the housekeeper of gossiping about the neighborhood and Mrs. Glidden making a few retorts about the younger woman's mode of life. At all events, the -Leeds'' outfit cleared away the next day and never was seen again, except (as the neigh bors said by their photographs as Stillman. the women he was protect ing and their child. The purpose of the.- mysterious conferences in the Stillman ase In New York and Yonkers yesterday. It was learned, was to iron out dif ficulties among counsel for Mrs. James A Stillman and to select one of her lawyers to direct her case and be responsible for its management. John F. Brennan of Yonkers was selected and from now on he will handle the defense and direct the court fight when the hearings arej resumed before Referee Daniel J. Gleason in Poughkeepsie next Tues day, Wednesday and Thursday. Defense I I'o-ordlnated. Mr. Brennan came into the case through Stanchfield and Levy, who engaged him originally because he lives in Westchester county and is thoroughly familiar with court pro cedure in the second judicial dis trict, which takes in Westchester and other counties. He represents Stanchfield and Levy in all cases in that district. At one time there were rumors that Stanchfield and - Levy would withdraw from the case entirely, but these stories were not substantiated. Stanchfield and Levy will be repre sented by two of their young trial attorneys, Abeli Smith and William M. Park. The conference resulted in a co ordination of the defense. Mr. Bren nan will be the leader in court. George Coggill of Cadwalader, Wick ersham and Taft, attorneys of record for Mrs. Stillman, has been placed in charge of all matters pertaining toj Mrs. Stillman's charges against Mr.' Stillman and Mrs. Florence H. Leeds. Mr. Park of Stanchfield and Levy has been delegated to handle evidence concerning "other women," and Mr. Smith has been requested to organize the material regarding the Canadian witnesses. Way Opened for Answer. The conferences at which these de cisions were reached were attend ed by George -W". Wlekersham, George Coggill, John B. Stanchfield, John E. Brennan and John E. Mack, guardian ad litem for Guy Stillman. As a result of the conferences it is expected the plan for Mrs. Stillman to ask the court's permission to serve another amended answer, naming other women besides Mrs. Leeds, will be expedited. It was authoritatively said the conferences did not point in any way to an eleventh-hour settle ment. Plans were laid to go ahead with hearings without fail.

"If babies were ducks." writes a well-known nurse, "I would urge Mothers to sponge them thoroughly at almost every waking interval and as it is, I advise at least one soap and water bath a day but nature never intended humans to be aquatic animals. "Still, the salts and acids in baby's perspiration make it necessary for Mother to constantly cleanse, purify and sweeten the delicate skin. "So I have devised a dry bath that can be used half a dozen times a day without the slightest danger of injury and with assured beneficial results. "I sprinkle my baby with Johnson's Baby Powder under the armpits, in the groin and between the soft folds of flesh. Johnson's Baby Powder is more than a mere talcum. It con tains beneficial antiseptics which eleanae and purify. Your druggist sells Johnson1. JUNEAU, Alaska, June 3. Action seeking to have set aside section 27 of the merchant marine act of 1920, prohibiting diversion of American cargo to Canadian ports for shipment to Alaska, was instituted in federal court here yesterday by Attorney General Rustgard in behalf of the Alaska territorial government and the Juneau commercial association. The attorney-general alleges sec tion 27 violates section 9, article I of the. federal constitution. Petition for a permanent injunction against the collector of customs here, restraining him from interfering with cargo shipped in violation of the section will be filed Monday. Mr. Rustgard announced. A "test" cargo was shipped from a Canadian port to Juneau yesterday. Application for a temporary order to restrain the federal government from interfering with the cargo will, be made the basis of the action for a permanent Injunction, according to Mr. Rustgard. The test suit alleges that section 27 particularly violates subsection 6, section 9, article 1, of the United States constitution. The subsection provides that no preference shall be given by any regulation of commerce or revenue to the ports of one state over the ports of another state. ."The purpose of section 27 of the merchant marine act," said a federal official, "is to conserve to American railroads and American ships em ploying American citizens and paying American wages the carriage of traffic in the United States. There is no more reason why the people of Alaska should be privileged to enjoy transportation based on for eign costs and foreign workii g con ditions than there would be for per mitting foreign ships to operate be tween Seattle and San Francisco. "If American transportation com panies were allowed by law to operate unaer tne wage scales and working conditions that obtain in foreign ves sels which would be highly improper wnere sucn conditions are wrong they could haul the traffic as cheaply as the vessels of any foreign nation. ror some time there has been con certed effort on the part of certain people in Alaska to break down the coastwise laws designed to protect in vestment In American enterprise. To foreign lines the privilege of engaging in the domestic commerce of Alaska is no more justifiable than it would be to suspend the customs reg ulations and permit foreign products to enter Alaska free of duty. Regard less of what may be said to the con trary and of any action that may have been taken to retard the developmenl of Alaska, the markets of the terri tory are in the United States."
