Attention was called to the fact that some important statutes contain clauses based specificially on the promulgation of such proclamation, and, while the lezal arm of the government saw no actual dif- ference in a proclamation and a resolu- tion, it was sald, the president had prac- tically decided to proclaim formally a state of peace and eliminate possibili- ties of future controversies.

Y., Oct. 21—Mem- bers of the Rockefelier family interested in the $37,000,000 trust funds created by the will of the late James Stillman today opposed efforts to draw them and ail other potential beneficiaries into the di- vorce litigation begun by James A. Stll- an, banker. against the former Fifi er and baby Guy Stiliman. Through counsel they argued against a motion which would have all potential neficiaries show cause why they shonld not be made co-defendants with Mrs. iliman and two year oid Guy, whise ternity Mr. Stillman impugned. This e was made by John E. Mack, guard- lan for Guy, who told Suprime Court ice Morschauser at today’s hearing that his purpose was to setile i the one divorce action both the paternity of the child and his right to share in the for- tune left by the elder Stillman Almet F. Jenks. counsel for Mrs. Perey A. Rockefeller and Mrs. William Rockes feller, sisters of James A. Stiliman, con- tended this would bring into the case 3 large number of persons with no interest whatever in the lit‘gation save that under the will of the elder Stilman they wers entitled to share at some time in the trust funds. He declared the court without Jurisdie- tion to grant the motion*inasmuch as the ginal divorce action charging Mrs, man with infidelity and branding the d ilegitimate was sfatutory. If they want a jury, we are satisfied,” exclaimed Mr. Mack. “After all, the whip hand does not apply to a court of equity.” Mr. Jenks asked Justice Morschauser to use his head, mot his heart. Mr. Mack suggested that both be employed. He charged that the New York bank- er's sole object in bringing the suit was to have Guy judged illegitimate. “If this child is fofind to be legitimate, he added, “for God's sake don't bring. back this stain. This child has“a right, for his life. Po FISHERMEN READY FOR RBACE OFF HALIFAX TODAY Halifax, N. §., Oct. 21—Skippers and crews of ‘the racing schooners Elsie Gloucester and Binenose of Lunenburg!
