Stillman, said:
"Evidence already before you
shows that Mrs. Stillman took as
her lover an Indian guide by
whom she had an infant son,
whom Mr. Stillman must either
acknowledge as a member of his
family or repudiate as illegiti
mate. Relations Lone Continued.
"This criminal intimacy began
in 1916 and continued through
1919. Mr. Stillman fels it his du
ty to his father's memory, to his
family and to his children to press
this matter to a conclusion.
"Had it been possible to do this
otherwise than in court proceed
ings, he would have done it. kit,,
there was no other way than to
make the mother and child co-defendants
in a suit "
Mr. Nicoll said he could not un
derstand the feelings of a father
"whose wife yielded to the em-
triiide" but
that he could understand why he
would hesitate to take court action
under such circumstances.

The hearing lasted only about
half an hour. When it was ad

for Mrs. Stillman.
When court opened today so
many spectators crowded into the
room that deputy sheriffs had to

persons stood on the window sills.
The lawyers plunged into the
question of Mr. Stillraan's Income
which finally was admitted by one
of his lawyers to have been $536,

to $800,000 or $1,000,000.

Mosbach, Baden, Mar. 23. Carl
Neuf and Franz Zimmer, Ameri
can detectives, have been sen
tenced to terms in prison in crim
inal court here for "illegal as
sumption of power" in attempting
to arrest and abduct (.rover C.
Bergdoll, American draft evader,
in Kberbach last January. Neuf,
against whom a charge of "inflio-
ing bodily injury" has been pre
ferred was sentenced to jail for 15
months while Zimmer's term in
prison was fixed at six months.
The additional charge against
Neuf arose from a bullet wound
suffered by a young woman when
a revolver was fired during the
attempted abduction.
Kour Germans who were tried
as accomplices of the Americans
were found guilty and sent to Jail
for terms varying from five to
eleven months. It was shown one
had driven the detectives' car and
that the other three had accom
panied the two Americans on their
trip to apprehend Bergdoll in
Kberbach.
Authority Exceeded.
in nassine sentence on i.euf,
the German court declared the
American detective was nwace
that aside from the charge of de
sertion, no other indictment was
pending against Bergdoll, but
that nevertheless the detective
had attempted to arrest Bergdoll
without the cooperation if the
German police and take hiin into
i ho ncrunled area, although Neuf
was aware that such a procedure
constituted an illegal assumption
if authority in unoccupiel Ger
many. The use oi a weapon, ue
clared the court, constituted "neg
ligent infliction of bodily injurv."
The penalty upon Neuf was fix
ed at fifteen months in Jail, the
court said, because the detectives
conduct constituted "a rrosa
breach of the law and an invasion
of the rights of the German au
thorities." The other defendants ere

they knew their acts were not per

Lumber Prices Far
Too High Is Claim;
Dealers Ask Proof
Chicago, March 23. Lumber dealers have issued a chal
lenge to the Illinois Society of Architects to prove charges
made in the society's bulletin that lumber prices are 150 per
cent higher than in 1914. An offer to pay $1,000 to charity
if the charge is proved has been made and E. K. Davison,
president of the architects society, declared today he would
accept the challenge.
The lumber men assert prices are only 60 per cent above
the 1914 level and that one-third of that is due to high cost
of transportation.
