PORTLAND DELEGATION WITH INVITATION TO ROSE FESTIVAL FOR PRESIDENT HARDING CALLS AT WHITE HOUSE IN WASHINGTON.
BUYER OF EVIDENCE
$15,000 Declared Paid for
Letters From Indian Guide.
DETECTIVE IS WITNESS
AVoman Denies Authorship of Mis
sives and Declares Willing
ncs to Await Verdict.
POUGHKEEPSIE,. N. Y., May 12.
The hearing of testimony in the Still
man divorce case closed with a sen
sation today, when a detective hired
by James A. .Stillman, New York,
banker and plaintiff, testified that he
and Outerbridge Horsy, one of Mr.
Stillman's lawyers, had paid $15,000
to Fred Boanvais, Indian guide named
as co-respondent, for four letters al
leged to have been written to Beau
vais by Mrs. Anne U. Stillman.
The purchase of the letters from
Beauvais, who Mr. Stillman. contends
Is the father of 3-year-old Guy Still
man, was made in Montreal last week,
the detective. Edmund Leigh, said. It
wa8 arranged through James Shean,
a New York newspaper man, Leigh
explained.
Authorship Is Denied.
The letters, replete with terms of
endearment and such expressions as
'I love every pore of your skin," and
"When can we get married," were
accepted in evidence after Mrs. Still
man had denied ever having written
them. She swore the handwriting
was not her own. bu t Harriet Hib-
bard, housekeeper for Air. Stillman
looked at them and then said that
to the best of her recollection the
handwriting was Mrs. Stillman's.
Beauvais demanded $25,000 for the
letters, Leigh testified, but after sev
eral days of negotiations he accepted
$15,000. He described dramatic con
ferences with the guide and Shean
and promised- Beauvais that he would
say the letters were among those
stolen some time ago when a packet
kept by the guide was rifled.
Lie 1m Admitted.
Tou lied to Beauvais. then?"
asked one of Mrs. Stillman's lawyers.
"Yes," said Leigh. "I would have
told any lie to get letters from a man
of the character of Beauvais."
Many times during the trial of the
case Beauvais was active in getting
witnesses to testify in his behalf and
that of Mrs. Stillman. In Canada only
a few weeks ago he corralled wit
nesses to contradict testimony that
he and Mrs. Stillman had been guilty
of misconduct.
The letters were considered by Mr.
Stillman's lawyers, it was learned,
as among the strongest evidence they
have introduced to prove their con
tention that Guy Stillman is illegiti
mate and to cinch their allegation
that Mrs. Stillman was unfaithful to
her husband in her relations with the
Indian.
But Mrs. Stillman seemed unruffled
tonight when with her oldest boy
"Bud" and Fowler McOormick, son
of the Chicago harvester manufac
turer, she departed by automobile for
New York. She referred to the let
ters as "four worthless scraps of
paper."
Verdict Is Awaited.
I have rested my case," she said.
"I am content to rest it with the
testimony of a gentleman, who stands,
or who did stand at the head of fi
nance of the greatest bank in the
greatest city in the world. And he
fought with gold. The testimony of
his own witness, as he closed his
case, was that he paid $15,000 for
four worthless scraps of paper. 1
have nothing further to say. I am
content to await the verdict."
One of the letters, said to have
been bought from Beauvais, read:
"Dear Darling:
"The wedding is over and it is
12:45 P. M., and I have just had a hot
bath and am in bed, but I just had to
write you a letter.
"There never will be and there
never has been anyone like you. 1
love every pore of your skin. I love
the dear ground you stand on. 1
love you better each day and every
day shows me how foolish it is to
live without you. I love you beyond
words. I love you forever and ever,
through this world on to all the
others. I want you more than any
thing on this earth. My uncle said
last night 'as we get older it doesn't
so much matter where we are but
who we are with.' When will you he
down dear, and when can we get mar
ried. That is all I think of. When
nothing will ever take me away.
"Write me dear how you are. won't
you? I am so tired of everything, so
tired I Just want to rest and rest in
your dear arms. It frightens me when
I don't bear from you. Let me hear
soon. Oh. dear, I am dead for you,
just dead."
"Your Kathitio."
"Sunday.
"Guy has just been in. He is lovely
but always when it is hot he wilts a
little. Good morning, dearest, darl
ing, dear."

Central Executive Committee Asked
to Pass Laws to Protect For
eigners and Possessions.
MOSCOW, May IX. (By the Asso
ciated Press.) Legalized recognition
of private property rights in money,
industrial and agricultural products
and other personal property, and to
a certain extent in real estate, is pro
posed in decrees which the soviet gov
ernment had prepared for presenta
tion before the all-Russian central
executive committee for passage at
its opening session.
The committee, which, in effect, is
the Russian parliament, is thus asked
to make laws enabling foreign capi
tal to work hand in hand with soviet
Russia and also to pass another de
cree giving peasants prolonged tenure
of land which they now hold as well
as the right to lease land under cer
tain circumstances.
The decrees recognizing private
property, as drafted by the commis
sariat of justice, provides thit for
eigners outside of Russia shall re
ceive the rights of protection uf their
property only on condition that Rus
sians are granted the same rights
abroad, but foreigners within Russia
who legally arrange for the right to
do business, would receive the fame
rights as Russian citizens.
The right to own buildings is lim
ited by the decree to small structures.
The decree also would legalize the
regular arrangement of commercial
agreements, providing for the usual
annulment of such arrangements in
case of ..auds or other misrepresen
tations. "The decree proposes to make pos
sible the collaboration of soviet Rus
sia with the capitalists of Europe and
America," said the Economic Life. "It
is not a mere demonstration for the
present Genoa conference which is
falling through, or for the near fu
ture. It is a measure concentrated
upon building, making it possible to
strengthen ourselves economically, to
consolidate our work and to give
guarantees to our friends in the en
emies' camp, giving them interest in
mutual work with us."

I expect to stay in this country
about six weeks," she said, "during
which period I expect to hop over to
California to look the place over and
perhaps do pictures."
First, she said, she was going to
Norfolk, Va., to see her sick father.
She said:
"I have been accused of everything
except causing the war. I have not
committed any crime that my name
should be associated with those that
have. It is outrageous and if such
is the case, the day of chivalry has
passed. However. I have confidence
enough in my American brothers to
give me a fair deal."
Suicide Severe Blow.
As to the suicide of Erraiuriz, she
said it was a blow from which she
never recovered.
"I loved Billy and told him so." she
said, "but told him the fact that he
was married and our love could not
gc. on. He pleaded with me unt'l 6
o'clock on the morning before his
death. I told him I was too tired to
further argue the matter and I would
answer him tomorrow. He said:
'There will be no tomorrow.' He left
me and killed himself, and I am
broken-hearted."

to Jack Iempsey. with whom her

"Jack is a great big boy with a

PRISON USES BHD MEAT
MONTANA CONVICT TESTIFIES
AGAINST EX-WARDEN.
Thousands of Pounds of Tainted
Beef Declared to Have Been
Served During 1920.
HELENA, Mont.. May 12. (By the
Associated Press.) Thousands of
pounds of spoiled beef was cooked
and served to the prisoners in the
Montana penitentiary during 1920, ac
cording to testimony given by a con
vict in the trial of the state's suit for
accounting against Frank Conley, ex
warden. Kenneth Dean, serving one sen
tence for forgery and another for at
tempting to escape, testified he had
worked as a chef in the prison kitchen
in 1920 and that during August, Sep
tember and October of that year he
had cooked approximately 48 quar
ters of tainted beef which was served
to the convicts.
The prisoners refused to eat the
meal, he said, and it was thrown into
the swill.
Attorney-General Rankin had called
Dean to teil of milk, oatmeal, hominy
and other foods, which, the state al
leges, were thrown into the prison
swill and fed to the hogs owned by
Conley and McTague. His testimony
in this respect was practically the
same as that of other convicts.
Under cross-examination of Attor
ney O'Connor for the defense, the
witness persisted In his statement
that he had cooked spoiled beef for
the convicts.
He admitted there had been some
spoiled mutton brought to the prison
during June and July, 1921, after
Conley had been succeeded by Warden
Potter.
"Don't you know that the cold
storage plant at the prison has prac
tically gone to pieces since Potter
took charge?" asked Attorney O'Con
nor. Dean said he didn't know this and
also that he understood the spoiled
meat of last year was left by Conley.
He said no spoiled meat had been
cooked at the prison since Potter be
came warden.

WASHINGTON, D. C. May 12.
Non-enforcement of the language
clause of the seamen's act, particu
larly at Pacific coast ports, was
charged at the joint congressional
hearing on the Jones-Green ship
subsidy bill today by Patrick O'Brien,
representing the International Sea
men's union.
Evasion Is Charged.
Irregular musters of crews are
among the methods resorted to by
some steamship companies to evade
the law, which requires that all sea
men must understand the language
spoken by their officers, he declared,
adding that the result has been em
ployment In many instances of cheap
Chinese labor for jobs which should
be filled by English-speaking men.
Mr. O'Brien urged that the pending
bill include a provision to strengthen
the existing language requirement.
He also advocated an amendment
which would require that 60 per cent
of the crew In all departments of an
American ship operated in foreign
trade, exclusive of licensed officers,
be either American citizens or eligible
to citiienship. The seamen's union
viewed with disfavor, he said, the re
quirement now in the bill that 75 per
cent of the officers and crew on the
deck and engine departments must
be citisens of the United States.
