NEW YORK May 25. ——Mrs. Anne
U. Stillman hopes that Mrs. Florence
Leeds will win in her’controversy
with James A. Stillman for support
of the son born to Mrs. Stillman and
Mrs. Leeds. says a despatch to the
N. Y. Times from Grands Arise. Que-
bec. today.
Mr. Stillman added a sensational
angle to the case by charging that
Fréd Beauvais. the Indian guide
named as co- -res’ondent by Mr. Still-
man and charged with the paternity
of Guy. Stillman. had been annoying
her. Her attorney has warned Beau-
vais to desist she declared.
Mrs. Stillman said she knew Mrs.
Leeds was not the muse of her rup.
ture with her husband. but that an-
other woman was responsible. She said
Mrs. Leeds had been replaced in Mr.
Stillman'a attentions by, a New York
society, woman whom she said he may
marry if he is divorced. .
About a. month ago Mrs. Stillman
said she was informed that Mr. Still-
man had broken with Mrs. Leeds and
that the latter was preparing a pub-
licity campaign and contemplating a
suit, against him. Desiring to escape
from further publicity for herself she
took her children and retired to her
lodge in Grands All; which is 65 miles
from the nearest railroad.
"I rcallydld not make a direct of-
fer to Mrs. Leeds to adopt Jay (Mrs.
Leeds son) "she said. "but would be
glad to make such an offer any day.
He is my son's half-brother and if
Mr. Stillman does not accept any res-
ponsibility for him. we. do. If Jay

sons are gentlemen."

Do the police patrol all of the

Fifth district say they do not get
