Yonkers, N. Y., June 27.—Testi- mony given by Dr. Hugh Russell, Buffalo osteopath in the divorce trial of James A. Stillman, New York banker against Mrs. Anne U. Stillman has been stricken from the record by Referee Daniel J. Gleason. This was announced today by John F. Brennan, attorney for Mrs. Still- man who said he had been so in- formed by the referee. Dr. Russell testified that Mrs. Stillman had confided to him that Mr. Stillman was not the father of Guy Stillman whose paternity is one of the issues in the case. This ad- mission, Dr. Russell testified was made in the course of professional treatment. Counsel for the defense attacked the testimony and moved that it be stricken out. The referee also sustained a mo- tion to strike out a letter offered by Stillman, Mr. Brennan declared. This was said to have been found by Mrs. Mary Kelly on Mrs. Still- man's dressing table. It was said to have been addressed to Fred Beau- vais, co-respondent by Mrs. Stillman and to have contained an admission concerning the Guy. i Pending further proof from the plaintiff, Mr. Gleason withheld de- cision on a motion to reject two {letters accepted in evidence and al- lezed to have been written to Mrs. Stillman by Beauvais.

Hartford, June 27.—Governor Lake has not the slightest intention of call- ing a special session of the General Assembly to re-pass measures which were put through this recent session at the last minutes and which he has Just signed or is still consdering, not- withstanding the traditional rule that legislation shall be passed upon by the stdte’s chief executive within 3 days of adjournment. The governor stands by his previous decision that the three days provision applies only to bills which have reached his desk in engrossed form and he pointed out today that all such measures had re- ceived his signature promptly. How- ever, Governor Lake mairtains that he is entitled to a reasonable time in which to review all measures present- ed to him for his signature and that matters not when the bills come to him. No Need, Governor Says “I see no indication of any need for a special session,” declared the governor today. Referring to a report printed Sunday that a special session might be necessary the governor said: “1 have received no, suggestion re- garding a special session except from a newspaper and, powerful as is the press, the newspapers are yet running the affairs of this state.’ Governor Lake declares that it is in the best interests of the state that he take time enough really to know what he is’ signing rather than rush through heaps of bills just as they may be dumped on his desk in order to fulfill the three day rule. Stands on Own Argument “On this contention T am prepared to stand,” asserted the governor “and I belleve the common sense of the state will sustain me,” Qovernor Lake said that, by a coin- dence, the general assembly-of 1919 adjburned on May 8 whereas the re- cent seéssion finished on Jun 8 and that Governor Holcomb had delayed sign- ing several bills until May 24 whereas he himself had' signed the bulk of left over legislation: on June 24.
