In the first week in March Justice Morfechauser sigped an order return- able on March 6 to show chuse why Mrs, Stillman should not put in an amended complaint, comprising an appeal for an Increase of the amount of ailmony awarded her trom $65,000 to $10,000 monthly, ‘in this original order there was a restraining clause which halted all proceedings, even including the hearing before Referee Gleason until the question of the alimony and oounsel fees should be aettied, After the setting of many dates for the hearing, on whici no appear- ances were made or adjournments were asked, the. hearing was finally set for March 33 at White Plains, But, owing to the restraining clause in the original order, It was pointed out, no Justice would hear the case Until the clause had been vacated by Justice Morchauser. In the event of an appehrance in White Piatns on the date specified, should an additional adjournment be asked, it was sald to-day that auch action would portend that negotia- toms for a settlement of the case were afoot or that there was disinclination to fight out the case before the ref- eree, A petition for the withdrawal of the testraining order would mean ene of two things—either a battle over the issues ofa settioment of the case out of court, It wae sald in Pough- keepsie to-day that. the probabilities were that the case, would be. settled out of court.

PHILADELPHIA, March 19.—Com- mander H. C. Richardson, Chief En- Bineer of the naval aircraft factory at the League Island Navy Yard, #ajd in an address last night that the new dirigible under construct'on there will be the largest and fastest ever designed. The airship, Commander Richard- son-sald, will be 800 feet long and eighty-five feet wide, and will have a possible druleing radfus of 6,000 miles, enabling it to cross the At- lantic Ocean and return without re- fueling. The dirigble, he added, will be the auperior in every way of the British R-34, which. made the first ‘transatlantic flight in a lighter-than- air machine, Commander Richardson had charge of the designing and construction of virtually all the large flying boats which have been built in the United States In the last five years. He de- shred and constfucted the NC-3 and the NC-4, the first ariplanes to cross the Atlantic. He was a member of the daring party that accomplished the f “The dirigible,” said Commander Peed pk ba a “is undoubtedly the air- 't of the future, I am not re; o y that it will supersede the war. ship of to-day, but it will be the most powerful adjunct to ks | floating fleet.” Commander Richardson predicted that-ere bes airplanes would be built of ateel, and that a way soon would be found to make their landing on battleships an easy procedure, Rogarding the great dirigible now being constructed, the speaker ex- fained that ite ee. radius would te 1,800 miles when fully equip with guns, ammunition and the like, but that the radius could be extended to at least 6,000 miles when the air- ship would be “traveiling light.” grote s thcSt nsor Mase STRIKE MONDAY IF PACKERS HOLD OUT Unions Issue Ultimatum Depending Upon Washington Conference —Men Favor Walkout.

The latest of these letters was re- ceived yesterday, All were malled in New York Clty and all are in fem- inine handwriting. Some of them, it is said, may have been written by chorus girls or “gold diggers” who might have been joalous of the re- markably rapid transformation of Mrs, Leeds from a chorus girl to the Hctepa of furs, automobiles and a xurious home without the necessity of playing eight shows k and singing and fepsing \ aaa the eye of a stern recto: All th ters were favorable to Mrs. Stillman and Guy.

Detectives, for Mra, Stillman are now checking up statementa made about this third woman, which are understood to have besa made in letters to the banker's wife. One of the new stories about Flor- once Leeds is that after her alleged introduction to Mr, Stillman, it was decided that a cértain amount of Peis leh would add to her attractiven in view of the cultured persona she & atrike will be cated. This was an- nounced by union leaders here to-day when count of the strike yote showed a majority of nearly 44,000 favoring a walkout. ‘The union will demand restoration of the basic eight-hour day and arbitration of wage demands. Paokers declared they could not arbi- trate the question of the basic elght- hour gay or the 121-2 per cent, eut in wages recently put Into effect. ‘The were economic hecessitics,” the pack ers contend, “and not subjects of ar- bitration.”” pate @ license for her automobile was in- dorsed by James M. Gaffney of No. 1 West Sith Str home address No. 2136 Gleason Avenue, Bronx. Gaft« ney, a-young man, denied he knew Mrs, Leeds, or had knowingly Ine dorsed her application for an auto- mobile license, He was formerly em- ployed by the New York Trust Com- pany as a bookkeeper at the 54th Street address, and, as he signed a great many papers, might have signed the application without re- membering it. Gaffney said he did not know Mr, Stillman and had no recollection that Mrs, Leeds had had an account with the trust company. The friendship of “Fio"’ Leeds and James A. Stillman formed about the only social topic on Broadway to- day and in ‘nany other less gay circles, Ever} body who was anybody seamed to svddenly remember "Fo," her green ca: her pet dog with the greeh sweater and her “gentleman friend,” Mr. Leeds, who had “nothing but money.” One of the humorous twists to the slory arose out of the discovery of a photograph printed in all seriousness by several New York Sunday papers in 1917 showing "Mrs, F. H. Leeds’ with two other girls as “soclety wom- en” at the Belmont Park Dog Show thal ty Haz alien, one of the “Century Girls” cast, recalled Flo Leeds as one of the “chioken girls" and also one of the “oard girls” in that show In 1916.

LONDON, Maroh 19—The big navy members of Parliament, led by Sir Edward Carson, have warned the Government in debate that in their opinion the empire is endangered by the shipbuilding programme of the United States. Sir Edward in a speech calied the attention of the British people to the fact that In his belief “there is another naval power which may Interrupt the great high- Ways of the empire” and that he de- sired them to “see what they can do them off that to prevent the greatest catastrophe that has ever happened in thie cogntry.” Turning to the American pro- gramme, he declared that it had been said of Germany, as It is now said of the United States, that she was not bullding against England, He called upon the Government to “sternly watch the situation so next year they may bring forward a larger programme if necessary, when ship- ballding will have returned to more norma) conditions.” Col. Archer Shee dwelt bitterly on the anti-British propaganda in «the United States, desceibing it from his own observations when he recently was in America, Here Viscountess Astor interjected: “It is the Irish Roman Catholics," and Shee, taking his cue from her, continued: “Yes, it is the Irish Roman Catholics-the Homan Catholics of Irish descent—and I regret the church to which I belong is one of the principal offenders in the United States. Led by Archbishop Hayes and the New York malignant Anglo- phobes, the cburch has done a great deal of harm. “It is almost impossible for a Brit- lah citizen new to walk about New York in certain parts without being insulted, The flag of every country in the world can be flown in the United States, perhaps with the ex- ception of the German flag and one other, the Union Jack.” NEW PERMITS FOR ALCOHOL.
