Stillman as De fendant in Action. White riains, N. Y Oct 26. Baby Guy Stillman Iot his first legal point yesterday when Supreme Court Justice Joseph Mortchauter handed down a decision here, deny ing the appeal of the infant's guard ian to bring in all the Stillman heirs as codefendants. Through John E. Mack, guard ian ad litem lor Ouy, an application was made last Friday for an order to involve all heirs of the late James A. Stillman interested in trust funds aggregating $37,000,000. Briefs were submitted Friday and today by law yers who represented the Stillman heirs, including some of the Rocke fellers, and by John F. Brennan, counsel for Mrs. "Fifi" Stillman, who is being sued for divorce by her husband and who. in turn, is trying to prove that Mr. Stillman is the lather ot Ouy. No Csuse for Alarm. Justice Morschauser in denying the motion of the guardian says that he should not be alarmed about the future protection of the infant's rights, because if he is held tt be legitimate, the testimony can be per petuated to he used on the account ing of the Stillman trust estates. If, in the Stillman divorce trial, Guy is proved legitimate, he will share in millions, with other Stillman children, principally a trust fund of $10,000,000 of their grandfather, James Stillman, deceased. There are other millions involved property of James Stillman, who, in the divorce case charges that the child is the son of Mrs. "Fifi" Stillman as a result of an affair with an Indian guide, Fred K, Bcauvais. Rockefellers Are Named. If proved illegitimate, of course, the infant Guy is barred from shar ing in the millions. The attempt of the guardian to bring the Rockefellers and other heirs into the case as codefendants was based on the contention that they were "interested parties" be cause, if Guy is declared illegitimate, their shares in the trust funds will be increased.

Senator Williams of Mississippi, democrat, and a critic of the bill, added his protest to that made by Senator Ashurst of Arizona, also a democrat, at yesterday's session against useless discussion by demo crats. The senate approved the normal income tax section with minor com mittee amendments.

HARING SALES COMPANY Inland Farmer Blames High Freight Rates For Farmers' Plight Among the visitors at the stock yards Wednesday was A. M. Brook Ing of Inland, wtio was looking over the feeder situation. Mr. Brooking was quite outspoken in reference to the high freight rates which, he said, was doing more than anything else to drive the farmer to poverty. He said exorbitant freight rates was the main cause of the producer not being able to get his corn to market. "The high freight rates have com pelled the farmers of Nebraska to figure out a way to use the large corn surplus," said Mr. Brooking, "and great majority in my neigh borhood have expressed themselves of the intent to use corn for fuel this winter in place of coal. 'The way I have figured the proposition is that as corn is bring ing only 20 cents a bushel and coal is $15 a ton, a load of corn with a big box will bring $7 a ton, while the farmer could n t get over half a box for $7. Corn at 20 cents a bushel will cell for less than $7 a Ion, and although it is about three ' times the bulk of a ton of coal, there is as much heat in a ton of corn as there is a ton of coal. "It is a terrible thing to burn food snd the farmer is the last man to think of such a thing, but the terri ble burden of freight rates has caused this situation." HOUSE E.
