Stillman SuitTurned Over toReferee To-day

6,000-Page Record ClosedWith Wife'a Denial ThatShe Wroto Notes BeauvaisU Charged With Selling

Canadian BU1 RefusedDivorce Fight To Be Taken

to Highest Court, Regard-less of Trial's Oulcorae-.-

The hard-fought Stillman case eiitersupon its closing phasc to-day with theturning over to Rcferce. Daniel .1. Glea-son of thc 6,000 pages of testimonywhich are the record of Jatnes A. Still-man's attempt. through a divorce ac¬

tion, to prove his wife guilty of mis-conduct and her babj-, Guy, the son ofFred K. Beauvais, Indian guide.

!t has been the longest drawn outand hardest fought divorce suit in thoannals of this country, observers say,with one draniatic turn after another.ln the eariicr stages of the suit, whilecounsel for Mrs. Anne Urquhart Still-man were baring their evidence of theassociation of Mr. Stillman and Flor-anca Leeds, the testimony appearedto bc favorable to Mrs. Stillman. Thcsmashing blow ainied at her defensewith the production at Poughkeepsicthe other daj of four letters declaredto have been sold to the banker's sideby Fred Beauvais, turned the tidesomewhat against her in the closinghours of the case.On top of this came the decision

of Supreme Court Justice Morschauscrat White Plains yesterday, refusing togrant her $6,960 to cover the expenseof taking testimony in Canada. Hisdecision read: "Motion denied, but;without costs."Early in April counsel for Mrs. Sti 11-

man made their second application forthe appointment of a commission totake testimony in Canada. JusticeMorschauser appointed the commission,but said he would take the matter ofexpenses under advisement. His de-Icision of yesterday Icavcs Mrs. Still-man liable for the heavij expenses in-curred recently in taking the testimonyof twenty-four witnesses in Montreai.

¦John F. Brennan, counsel for Mrs.Stillman, refused to comment on thisdecision yesterday.The defense rested with the testi-

mony of Mrs. Stillman and her em-

phatic denial that she had ever pennedtho letters declared to have been soldfor $15,000 by Beauvais.The hearing scheduled for Pough¬

keepsie to-day probably will be noth¬ing more than a formal banding overof the testimony to the refcree. Coun¬sel for Mr. Stillman still have the rightto examine Ida M. Oliver, Guy's nurse.and Harriet Hibbard, housekeepor atthe Stillman estate in WestchesterCounty. who identified the handwritingof Mrs. Stillman at the last hearing.lt 16 expected that they will waivc thisright, however.After the referee has gone over the

testimony and writton his report itwill be handed to Justice Morschauserfor final decision. lt is probable thatsome. time will elapse before this isgiven and it is expected that whateverthe finding the case will go to thehigher courts.

N'ot only is Guy's legitimacy at stake.but his right to participate in the $6,-000.000 estate of James A. Stillman'sfather is threatcned. Should Mrs. Stillman lose in the divorce action, she willbe denied the $1)0.000 alimony she nowgets. There are the two separate is-su"s at stake -Guy's paternity and Mrs,Stillman's alleged misconduct. She hasrepeatedly said that her fight has beenfor Guy and that if tho judgment is infavor of her three-ycar-old son she willbe content.

Aldermen GetBill for DrasticFirearms Curb

Prohihits Pawnbrokers FromLenriinp; Money on Giinsor Selling Them UnlessPurchaser Has Permit

Jersev Officials to Aid

Admit Crooka Are ArmedAcross River and PromiseLegislation Against Peril

After a conference yesterday in theMayor's office between the New Yorknnd New Jersey authorities to discusameans to stop thc indiscriminate saleof lirearms, a drastic ordinance was

introduced by the Board of Aldermenhere prohibiting pawnbrokers fromlending money on small arms that maybe concealed upo3i the person. Anyauch arms that the pawnbrokers now

have in stock may not be sold unlessthe buyer has a permit, and the pawn-broker must take the name and addressof the purchaser nnd send thc recordto the Poliee Department.The New Jersey authorities said

their situation was more ditficult todeal with, but they promised to workfor local oidinances and state lawswhich would prevent the sale of lire-arms, permit or no permit. Those atthe conference from New Jersey were

Mayor Frank Hague, of Jersey City;Chief of Police Long, of Newark, nndTrosccutor Bigelow, of Essex County.Mayor Hylan, Police Commissioner Fn-right, District Attorney Joab H. Ban¬ton, Chief Magistratc William McAdoo,Assistant Corporation Counsel Nichol-aon, and Dr. Royal S. Copeland, Health,Commissioner, made up the committeefrom this city.

Admita Jersey Supplies GunsMayor Hague admitted that. 90 per

cent of the tirearms purchased andused by crooks in this city came fromNew Jersey. He aaid he had been try¬ing for six years to get a state lawpassed prohibiting the sale of tirearms'n the state. He declared that/fthile ithad passed the Assembly, Senator Clar-ence Case, of Somerset County, hadopposed it in the interest of the man-ufacturers and the bill had been killedin the Senate. Mayor Hylan asked ifthere was not some way the Somerset!Senator might be recalled."We have no recall in New Jersey,"

said Mayor Hague. "I have told himrepeatedly of murders caused by thedefeat of the hill. I told him of thecold-blooded murder of three of ourcitizens because of protection accordedthe firearms interests. He answeredthat we proposed too stringent a law,and remarked: 'Let New York lookafter itself." "

Mayor Hague said he would take itupon himself to have an ordinance in¬troduced in the Jersey City Board ofAldermen prohibiting the sale of fire-arms. He admitted, however, thatprobably he would have trouble gettingit through. He thought a state lawwould be far better.

Enright Refers lo VeteransPolice Commissioner Enright de-

clared the trouble was not with the

persons having permits. He said thatthere were many thousands of plstolsthat had been brought home by thesoldlers as souvenirs. He also men-tioned the fact that odvertisements ap-peared in the Sunday newspnpers frommail order houses offering pistols forsale. The commissioner declared hedisapproved of permits to keep a re-

volver ln a private dwelling. "Hnving« gun in the house is 110 protection,"he said.

Magistrate McAdoo said that if theordiiianre proposerl by Mayor Haguecould be passed "it would cut out thebiggcst. selling plant of rlrearms tothe underworld." Ile said ho would

[like to seo the Federal government put!a tax of .5.r>0 on every pistol manufac-tured.

District Attorney Banton said hewould take up with the publishcrs ofnewspapers the question of the adver-tisement of weapons, and thought. hecould convinco them that the adver-tisements violatcd the spirit of thelaw.Tho ordinance int.roduced in the

Board of Aldermen yesterday wns re-

fc,rred to thc committee on generalwelfare. It probably will be reportedout and ncted upon nt. the meeting ofthe board next Tuesday. II. becomeseffect ive immediately upon adoption hythc board and approval hy the Mayor.
