THE EVENING WORLD, SATURDA BABY GUY BLOCKS SETTLEMENT OF STILLMAN CASE Banker “Never Willing to Ad- mit Legitimacy of Child” and Negotiations Fail. WIFE REMAINS FIRM Refuses to Pledge Herself Not to Reopen Case at Any Time in Future. The efforts to negotiate a “settle- ment” of the Stillman divorce case were regarded to-day as hay.ng met with fail agreement was on the point of being signed. Mrs, Stillman refused to amend the terms of surrender she proposed to Mr, Stillman. She refused to give a pledge that she would not lend her- self (by moving-picture exploitation, publishing a diary, writing a novel or by public utterances) to any attack on her husband hereafter in the in- terest of men who have been financ- ing her defense with the object of dis- crediting him and any of the enter- prises or groups of financiers with whom he is associated. The pressure on Mr. Stillman to “bury the mess" lost its weight when no assurance could be obtained that it would not be exhumed periodically. Mr, Stillman yielded to his legal ad- visers and took his stand on a re- fusal to acknowledge two-year-old Guy Stillman as his child. His counsel, Nicoll, Anable, Fuller & Sullivan, made the following state- ment: “The attorneys for Mr. Stillman did not participate in the recent negotia- tions for a settlement, That was at- at the moment a peace and by a friend of Mr. Stillman and of members of his family. “We are informed that they ended in failure because no satisfactory agreement could be reached on tho question of the legitimacy of the child. There never was a time, as has been represegted in the public press, when Mr, Stillman was will- ing to acknowledge the parentage of the child, or preclude himself from raising the question in another pro- ceeding.” When shown this statement, Mrs. Slillman gaye out a letter of May 25 from her counsel, John B, Stanch- ticld, which was the following “The proposition was that the pres- ent divorce action should be discon- the legitimacy of Guy tinued, Jeavir unquestioned SILVER FOX STRAYS TO CITY; IS KILLED.

The south shore district of Nassau County was all stirred up again to- day after spasms of public scandal which have been going on for a year. This time the entertainment given last night at the Meadowbrook fire hall is the topic of fearsome discus- sion, About 150 tired business men, poli- ticlans and public officers gathered there at nine o'clock an a general un- derstanding that "$5 will be charged for admission and it will be worth it” Most enthusiastic was the response to the opportunity for diversion for those who have been getting ner- vous prostration wondering how long Justice Cropsey was to continue to of the popula John Sumner, who Society it, He went to see Assistant Dis trict Attorney Edwards. The two of them collected Constables Miller Anderson, Tintle, Strohson, Malloy, Ricker and Smith, and they all went to the’ party, arriving at midnight. As they entered a young woman calling herself Awanna Treve was the centre of attention, Mr, Edwards says he doesn't know what her right name is, but it ought to be Awanna Blush, ‘There were wild struggles by some of the tired business men to get out |the doors and windows.

Strong men screamed in rage and terror, Mr, Sumner, in a | hoarse whisper, told one of the con- stables to “bring in that flashlight photographer man.” At this point a leading member of the Lynbrook up- lift movement is said to have fallen in a fit.

She ts fourteen, the age of a girl, but also “going on fifteen,” almost the age of a woman, It is believed that this “going on fifteen” is what made her feel so out of place in school. And it looked as if she would have to stay in school for a long time because she was behind In her stud- jes—a result of the housework that took so much of her time. She is the fifth echooigirl to at- tempt suicide within a few da:s. The police record says she took atropine with suicidal intent, Her father and her older sister are at her bedside. Yesterday she went to a neigh- bor, Mrs, Lillian Percella, and con- fided her troubles, She was advised to continue with her studies and Mrs. Percelia, by way of diverting her mind to other subjects, asked her to do an errand for her, Presently Catherine looking very pale. asked if she was II! “Yes,” the girl said, “I this." She showed an empty bottie which had contained the poison. Mrs. Percelia said she learned af- terward that Catherine had “played hookey” several times lately and that the truant had called at her home.

SOCIETY’S SPRING FASHIONS FEATURE OF THE METROPOLI TAN FRIGK’S ENTIRE ESTATE [8 PLACED AT $92,883,766 Pennsylvania Estimate Too High—Charity Residue Under $15,000,000. Instead of the $143,000,000 esti mated by Penmsylvania officials a few months ago as the value of the es tate of Henry Clay Frick, figures filed yesterday by Henry C. McEb downey, President of the Union Trust Company of Pittsburgh, an executor, give “the fair market value” of the estate, personal and real, “wherever situated” as $92,883,766. In addition Mr. McEldowney reports | approximately $10,500,000 in claims against the estate, most of which, it appears from the sc..cdules, are ad- mitted by the executors and will still | further reduce the residue which Mr, Frick bequeathed to charity and edu- cation. If Mr. McEldowney'’s figures are upheld by the State Transfer Tax | office, the residue bequeathed to char- ity, out of which all inheritance taxes | will have to be paid, will amount to less than $30,000,000. Federal and State taxes, which are certain to be several millions, may bring the net amount available for charity down to between $10,000,000 and $14,000,000. Mr, Frick’s real edtate holdings in eight States are valued at $18,057,540, | State and consists of his house and property at Fifth Avenue and 70th) Street, valued at $3,250,000, @nd his garage and property in West 61st Street, valued at $30,000. The shrinkage of values in the estate brought disappointment to officials of the institutions to which Mr, Frick left shares in his resid- uary estate. Princeton University, which had expected $15,000,000 on a conservative estimate, probably will receive less than $6,000,000. Mr. Frick directed that after specific be- quests and Federal and State taxcs were paid the residuary estate should ve divided into 100 shares to go to feligious and philanthropic institu- tions, Most of the beneficiaries are located in Pittsburgh and other parts of Pennsylvania, The President and Fellows of Har- vard are to receive 10 of the 100 | shares, now believed to be worth be- 1,000,000 and $2,000,000. The Lying In Hospital of New York will | receive three shares. The Massa- chusetts Institute of ‘Technology, Boston, will get 10 shares While the securities left by Mr. Frick have declined sharply in mac- | ket value, his art works, appraised by | Joseph BF. Knoedler and sir Joseph Duveen at the time of his death in 1919, show a slump from thelr former estimated yalue of $30,000,000 to $1 000,000, His portrait of t ip IV. Spain by Velasquez, for which he paid $400,000 in 1911, down at §300,¢ 000, “Aune Dunscombe,” by Gains- | borough, originally valued at $400,000, was appraised at $176,000. Pictures land art objects valued at $7,000,000 were located on the first floor of the | fifth Avenue mansion. The home and the art objects it shelters are to go to New York City at the death of Mrs. Frick, or if she des to relinquish her right to use of the property, For maintenance of the property by trustees, Mr. Frick provided a pertnanent fund of §15,- 000,000, Any one of a number of rugs on the floors of the mansion is worth several times the combined value of Mr. Frick's personal effects in the ot was or Only $3,280,000 of this is in New York | ena way of jewelry and clothing. His jewelry is valued at $3,083 and his clothing at $500, The latter item con- sisted of seven business suits, two cutaway suits, three golf suits, two its of evening clothes, two tuxedo its, two riding suits, three over- coats, nine dozen outing, soft and dress’ shirts, three dozen sults of underwear, twelve pairs of shoes, three dozen night shirts, elght dozen handkerchiefs, three dozen ties, four dozen socks, two silk hats, one soft hat and one derby. Contrasted with millions owed by Mr. Frick to banks and brokers on notes are $54.40 due to McBride's The- atre Ticket Agency, $24.60 to Brooks Bros. for umbrellas, and $5.28 to Cush- man Sons, Inc., for bread and rolls, purchased in November, 1919. ‘The value of Frick’s art collection, originally estimated at $30,000,000, has declined to $13,210,209. The ap- praisal waa made by Roland F. Knocdler and Sir Joseph Duveen as of the date of Frick’s death, Dec. 2, 1919. At that time the art market of the world was depressed, and the value may have increased since then. The famous Velasquez portrait of Philip IV. of Spain, for which Mr. Frick was said to have paid $409,000 in 1911, is appraised at $300,000, and Gainsborough’s portrait of Anne Duncombe, at one time said to have been sold for $400,000, at $176,000.
