i recurrence of general warfare In
Europe as a result of the Near East
crisis are occupying the minds of
British official circles, it is said in
authoratlve quarters
The protracted cabinet meetings/]
which have heen occurring with much
frequence of late, all have been for
the purpose of preventing such a con
futation, it was declared.
It Is explained that these fears are
based on the relations known to exist
between the Angora government and
Soviet Russia and the potentialities of
such relations.
The whole British policy, it is
listed, is to keep the Turks from
crossing the Dardanelles into Eastern
Thrace, because, it is maintained, In
this event lighting would surely en
sue and the whole of the Balkans
would be drawn Into the struggle.

STILIMIN DENIED j
DIVORCE DECREE
Banker’s Suit For Annulment
Fails—Wife Wins Com
plete Victory
(By The Associated PrtM.)
CARMEL. N. Y., Sept. 29.—James A.
Stillman, former president of the Na
tional City Bank, of New York, was
denied a decree in his suit for ab
solute divorce from Anne U. Stillman,
and baby Guy Stillman was declared
legitimate in the findings of Daniel
J. Gleason, referee, in the case, which
were filed here today.
The referee’s decision was a com
plete victory for Mrs. Stillman. Not
only was her defense upheld, but the
referee also confirmed her charges
that Mr. Stillman had misconducted
himself with Florence H. Leeds, for
mer Broadway show girl and that
Mrs. Leeds had borne two children.
Belief In Testimony Shaken
In regard to Mrs. Stillman’s charges
that her banker husband also mis
conducted himself with two other |
women, identified only as "Helen”
and “Clara," referee Gleason decided
that the evidence was not sufficient to
prove the allegation of adultery. The
referee tfrote that the testimony ad
duced by Mr. Stillman in support of his j
charges that Mrs. Stillman had mis- i
conducted herself with Fred Beauvais,
i part Indian guide, alleged by the
j plaintiff to be the father of little Guy
I Stillman, “uncontradicted and unex
[ plained” was sufficient to justify him
irontlnwrd on Fora t.

GREAT STONE PIER
SUPPORTS RISE FAST !
The State roads bridge over the
Savern river is one-fourth completed
at the end of a little more than four
months’ actual work.
State Roads Chairman John N.
Mackall is enthusiastic about the
progress of the work. “One year
from today,” ho said, “the Severn
River bridge, the last link in the Bal
timore-Annapolis boulevard, will be
carry! i; from 3,900 to 10.000 vehicles
a day.”
The work is 1 eing pushed steadily.
/‘And that’s just what we’re after,”
exclaimed the chairman; "persistent
! result-producing work, not _ record
i days. They do not pay in the long
run.”
No Setback Experienced
Not a single setback has been ex
perienced since the leginning of the
construction four months ago. Not a
single cofferdam has been lost and
this is unusual in waters as deep as
those of the Severn. This is attribut
ed to the unwillingness of the con
tractor to try for a record one day
and do nothing the next.
The skeletons of 11 of the 28 piers
have 1 een projected above the sur
face of the Severn. The steel con
jstruction has been completed on eight.
Two are complete.
Huge white monuments of skilled
masonry and expert bridge construc
tion, they stand from 17 to 22 feet
above the surface of the river. Thirty

15 feet thick at the bottom to 5 feet

ADVOCATE STREO
MARKERS FOR MURRAY
HILL AND ELSEWHERE
Members of the Rotary Club of An
napolis at their weekly meeting yes
terday, adopted resolutions calling at
tention cf the City Council to the fact
that many of the streets of the city
are without any designation so far as
street signs or names are concerned.
The resolutions have particular ref
erence to the streets of the Murray
Hill section, most of which have never
been marked at all. The situation, it
’ is pointed out, causes considerable
confusion to persons locating streets
especially visitors looking for the
1 homes of their friends, and also ap
plies in a number of other ways, such
1 r.s the delivery of merchandise, etc.
It is also pointed out that street mar
-1 kers uniformely placed throughout
the city arc in line with municipal
regulations generally.

Of 5 Men Indicted For
Norris Killing
(By The .ImuM-latnl Pre.)
BALTIMORE, MD.. Sept. 29—John
Keller, useful associate of the meh
accused of the murder of William B.
Norris, took the witness stand this
morning in the trial of Charles P.
Carey and John L. Smith.
Keller opened by telling of the close
association of Carey, Smith, Alters,
Hart and Socolow and their joint liv
ing arrangements at 909 North Broad
way, this city.
From time to time the direct tes
timony of young Keller was strenu
ously opposed by attorneys of the two
accused men.
Young Keller was not asked to
identify Smith. Allers, Carey, Hart, or
Socolow, as the other witnesses had
been. Throughout the telling of his
story he kept his eyes averted from
them.
Keller answered questions freely
and without hesitation.
Yesterday’s High Points
High points in the testimony of
witnesses for the prosecution of
“Country” Carey and "Wiggles”
Smith yesterday included:
Identification h.v eye-witnesses of
Smith as the man who “took” Fred
erick W. Kuethe at the time when
William B. Norris was killed and both
robbed.
