Stillman Baby
Loses Round in
Fight for Estate
Judge Rules Against Plea to
Name All Hfirt of Late
James A. 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.

Excess Profits
Tax Repeal Now
Seems Assured
Teat Votes on Amendments at
Night Session Forecast
Dropping of Obnoxious
Revenue Levy.
Washington, Oct. 26. Test votes
in the senate last night assured the
repeal of the excess profits tax.
An amendment tiered by Senator
Reed of Missouri, democrat, adding
the words "smt each year there
after" after clause in the pending
bill providing for the continuance of
the excess profits tax on income of
the calendar year 1921 met defeat by
a vote of 27 to 30.
The democrats voted solidly for
the retention of the excess profits
tax. Four republicans, Senator
ltorah of Idaho. Kenyon' of Iowa,
LaFollctte of Wisconsin and Norbeck
of South Dakota lined up with the
democrats.
Following the defeat of this
amendment Senator Reed offered an
other providing for the retention of
the excess profits tax at reduced
rates.
Action Is Deferred.
Action on the second Reed amend
ment was deferred until today
after an agreement was reached to
end debate on the excess profits sec
tion and all amendments thereto at
4 this afternoon. The senate ad
jotirned at 8.
The senate held its first night ses
sion tonight in an effort to expedite
action. Whether the plan for con
tinuous all. day and all night sessions
beginning tomorrow will be carried
out was uncertain tonight. A move
ment was on loot for a unanimous
consent agreement for the limitation
of debate which will make the pro
posed all night sessions unnecessary.
The debate on the excess profits
tax continued for several hours. Sen
ators speaking in defense of the tax
included Senators Reed, Hitchcock
and Stanley of Kentucky, all demo
crats. Senator Watson of Indiana
and other republicans urged itsre-
peai.
Hitchcock Favors Tax.
Senator Hitchcock insisted that the
excess profits tax does not hurt busi
ness.
Senator Stanley declared that the
republican party in its advocacy ot
the repeal of the excess profits tax
"stands exposed as the champion ol
Drofiteering and plunderers."
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. This means the
retention of the present normal tax
rates on individual incomes of 4 and

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."
