Lawston dropped his daughters and then his wife to the policeman, who caught them. Then he jumped. Nor- ris lowered Esther Holder and her mother as Lawston had done with his family, and they were caught by the policeman, and he then made the jump. The leap from the extension was safely made by all, who, being in their nightclothes, were taken into 4 nearby tailor shop to keep warm. On the second floor lived Charles Schultz, fifty-one, his wife, Mary, forty-eight, their sons, Charles, George and James, seventeen, sixteen and thirteen respectively, and a brother-in-law, Charles Campbell, a retired policeman, and his sister-in- law, Mrs, Madeline Campbell, thirty- tive.

CHICAGO, Feb, 18.—A dozen nuns reseued 100 children from St. Joseph's Home for the Friendless here last night when fire broke out in the attic. One squad of nuns led and carried the sleeping children \to the street, while another, working under diree- tion of the Mother Supertor, wielded axes and worked chemical fire extin- guishers in heavy smoke, with wet tuwels around their faces, The chiidren, all under twelve years of age, were being tucked into bed on the third floor of the home when the Mother Superior noticed heavy smoke coming from the attic. i Prayers of the last curly headdd tot to reach the dormitory were inter- rupted as the nun informed the chil- dren they were going to have an un- usual treat—they were going to be al- lowed to go outside and play again fgr a short time before going to sleep. Concealing her agitation from the children, the Mother Superior sum- moned ope squad of half a dozen nuns and ¢ them to get the children dre: Muickiy and out of the build- ing. Smaller children who had been put to sleep earlier were carried out through the smoke-filled hails by the sisters without being awakened. They were taken to nearby homes. The older children dressed silently and hurriéd out without confusion. They considered {t a lark. Flames burst through the ceiling as the last of the children were car- med to safety. Meanwhile, under orders from the Mother Superior, the uther half dozen sisters in the home had wrapped wet towels around their faces to protect them from thé heat and smoke, caught up axes, hatchets and fire ex- tinguishers and hurried to the attic. Working bravely, they chopped the floors and ceiling to reach the flames, which they succeeded in jputting out as the firemen arrived. ‘The loss was $5,000. i Seah IRELAND PLANNING ITS OWN COINAGE DUBLIN, Jan. 31 (By Mall).—Pro- posals for a new Irish currency and Irish postage stamps are being dis- cussed by the Free State authorities. | ny >} THE EVENING WORLD, SATURDAY, FEBRUARY' 18, 1922 MRS. STILLMAN'S SON OF THE “ASBESTOS KING,” PLEA FOR HEAR NNCANADA GRANTED Commissioner Is Named to Beginning March 13. POUGHKEEPSIB), Feb, 18.—Power to create a commission to take testl- mony at Montreal beginning March 18 in the divorce suit of James A. Stillman, New York banker, against Mrs. Anne U, Stillman, was granted to-day Morschauser on application of counsel for the defense. Justice Morschauser held in abey- ance a motion by Mrs. Stiliman’s law- yers for an additional allowance of $6,960. Counsel for the banker. would not say whether an appeal would be sought to prevent hearings at Mon- treal. Eugene H, Godin of Montreal was appointed commissioner to take the evidence there which would seek to show that witnesses against Mrs. Still- mun were bribed and tempted with bribes, i John KE. Mack, guardian ad litem for Baby Guy Stillman, whose legiti- macy is at issue, joined in the ap- plication for Canadian hearings. He intends to cross-examine witnesses who testified they saw Mrs. Stillman misconducting herself with Fired Beau- vais, the Indian guide, alleged by Mr. Stillman to be the father of Guy. “This infant has got to have this proof, regurdiess of what the defend- ant wants,"* sald Justice Morschauser. Counsel for Mr, Stillman announced that no argument would be made in opposition to the motion for a hearing at Montreal, but an affidavit by Cor- nelius J. Sullivan, attorney of record for the banker, offered in opposition, set forth that six months had elapsed since Mr. Stillman rested his case, and asserted that Mrs, Stillman ‘had Presented no evidence to show her in- Mr. Brennan, counsel for the de- fense, pointed out that Mr. Sullivan in his affidavit had not presented a single dental of the allegations that agents for the banker bribed witnesses | and attempted to suborn others, He Presented aMdavits by Gongalve De- saulnier, King’s Counsel at Montreal, saying he had interviewed seven Ca- nadians who told of attempted brib- ery by agents for Mr. Stillman. He also offered affidavits by Maurice Demers, Montreal attorney, and Philip J. O'Brien of Yonkers, which told of interviewing other Canadians who would be summoned to testify at Mon- treal. a BUSINESS TAKES DECIDED UPTURN, Banking circles here are said to be strongly opposed to any alteration in the currency on the ground that it will cause complications by the estab- Mshment of yet another fluctuating “foreign exchange."’ It is anticipated that the Free State will adopt the decimal system of coinage, and that Irish dollars and cents, or whatever their equivalent Gaelic names may be, will ultimately take the place of the sterling money. As for postage stamps, the proposal is that Ireland shall content herself for the present with making an ar- rangement with Great Britain for Printing a surcharge inscription, probably consisting of a shamrock or harp, combined with the word ‘Erin’ in Irish characters upon the face of the stamps now in use, Later on, the Free State will design its own stamps, and they are not likely to bear the English King's image. psa ll FLU AND PNEUMONIA SHOW BIG DECREASE 316 Cases of Former and 161 of Latter, With Deaths 11 and 60 Respectively.

Take Testimony in Montreal, | prerapunan, Feb. 18.—d4re, Fior-¢ | ence E. Manville, former chorus beau- ty and young wife of Thomas Frank- lin Manville jr., son of the ‘Asbestos King’’ has obtained a divorce on the grounds of desertion. The former ‘Follies’ girl declared her husband risked being disinherited | to marty her and then deserted her because she tried to tame him down to home life. Broadway was interested. to-day in the story of how Floremee ©. Huber's ;Tomance with the ‘asbestos king's” \hetr which started in thie lobster pal- aces of New York, had hit the rocks {in Pittsburgh, where @ Master's re- ;Port recommended that Thomas Franklin Manville jr. and the former “Follies” girl be parted by divorce. “I just can't behave myself’ was the young helr’s only excuse. Young Manville, heir to millions, took Miss Huber from the “Follies of | 1911" and was so determined to have a marriage that would defy expected family assaults that he had cere- monies In New York and in New Jer- sey and announced he was prepared to have one in every other State or until his gasoline money ran out, He was seventeen years old at the {ime and she, was twenty. A year before he had run away from board- ing school and when he stopped he was in Buse City, Idaho, with only $10. While his parents were search- ing for him he was working success- » bakery clerk, bellhop and hotel clerk. ‘Then the asbestos millionaire found him and he consented to return home. The couple were married in City Hall, New York, June 8, 1911, by a Magtstrate.. They. hurried to Maryland for a second ceremony but were refused a license. They went to/ New Jersey, where they had the sec- ond ceremony. The young bridegroom said at the time that he was getting married in all available States so that if his father tried to have the mar- riage annulled he and his bride would always be a State or two laps ahead of him. Mr. Manville sr. did not interfere at the time because he received a tip that his son was jut to marry a girl of the stage in France. Tho father rushed to Hurope and while there received word of the marriage here. Young Manville feared annul- ment proceedings because he had rep- resented himself as twenty-one years old, At first, after the double riveted marriage, the boy's parents refused to have anything to do with their son but the bride stood loyally by him. His mother helped them out later, furnished a small apartment in Pittsburgh and gave the boy money, but they soon were out of luck. Mrs. Manville jr. went to work as a singer TO ASSESS TARIFF ON FOREIGN VALUE Smoot Plan Said to Have Been Virtually Agreed Upoa EX-FOLLIES GIRL WHO GETS DIVORCE FROM MANVILLE os Sa MRS. THOMAS F. MANVILLE, Jr. in a department store and began suit for separation, asking $75 a week. Manville, however, patched up a peace with his fatuer, received $100 casit and 1 chance to go to work in the asbestos factor: at $15 a week. He did so and worked as a laborer for months, while his wife cooked, washed and ironed and kept house, He lasted until afier his pay was raised to $20 a week, but Mrs, Man- ville left him soon, and in her subse- quent sult declared he was cruel and acted improperly otherwise and that so surely as he got any consid- erable sum he disappeared, and stories of his doings prompted her charges of misconduct. Reconciliations with his father did not last long and young Manville al- ways went to work when the family treasure chest snapped against him. He turned up in 1920 as chauffeur for William 8S, Cooney, a Wall Street broker with 4 summer home at West Hampton, L. I., who did not suspect the identity of his $35 a week driver. His wife sald in Pittsburgh, that he cannot stand good fortune, and so one of her witnesses, Mrs. Margaret Davis, No. 2040 Beechwood Houle- vard, Pittsburgh, testified. “‘There is no woman I love so much as I love Florence,’ he told me when I tried to make him go baok to his wife," sald Mrs. Davis, ‘ ‘but I can't behave myself.

In this regard, indeed, it is by far the most satisfac- tory showing that has been made since the phrase ‘frozen credits’ was invented."" Even more promising is the data available at the office of Eugene Meyer jr,, managing director of the War Finance Corporation, Not only is an improvement in agricultural conditions reported, but the repay- ments on recent export loans and other credits advanced for domestic farm purposes are better than any- body dreamed would be the case. The beginnings of an export erade are noticeable. Foreign exchange rates have held back export trade, The passage of the bill permitting President Harding to negotiate with the Allies for the payment of inter- est and principal on the war debt is expected to briny an even greater {m- provement in exchange and conse- quently in export trade. Recent ad- vances in the prices of agricultural products are attributed by many ob- servers here to the appearance again of an export trade The most interesting development of a political nature in connection with the improved conditions is the way the domestic credit situation as well as the upturn in the prices ob- tainable for farm products has marched along with the betterment of exchange rates, which in turn are a reflection of better economic un- derstandings between Europe and America, Although for the moment the United States Government has its own pecullar reasons for not wishing to go to the Genoa Economic Confer- ence, the banking «nd financial minds of the Administration would lke to announcement of acceptan! soe the United States represented \th They think !t would still tur: Ither improve exchange relationships jand bring America the export trade she needs a8 ap outlet tur her manu- facturing and productive enterprises, WASHINGTON, Feb. 18 (Associated Press).—The adoption of the Smoot plan of assessing tariff duties on the basis of the foreign value of the im- ported articles is understood to have been practically agreed upon by Re- publican members of the Senate Finance Committee. ~ The rewriting “ot the ad valorem rates in the Fordney Bill on the basis of this plan was stafted to-day, Sen- ators sald, and since the original rate: were predicated upon American val- uation it was said that increages were being made in many instances, pile Testa: GAVE SON, 8, COCAINE TO CURE COLD, CHARGE Steptath Arrested, Also Had Given Drug te Daughter.

Mr. Jerome asserts that the plaintiff's car was on the wrong side of the road, that the driver and seven of the occu- pants were under the influence of liquor and reckless and that Mrs. Jerome's leg was broken by the col- lision and he himself was seriously hurt. ee are LORENZ FUNDY PORATED.

It 1 sprovided that a tax of 20 cents a gallon on beer and 40 cents on wine shall be levied, the revenue so de- rived to be set aside for the bonus. Mr. Hill estimates that this will pro- duce $500,000,000 annually, which would be ample for such purposes. As indicative of the sentiment on this subject among the ex-service men, Mr. Hill points to the result of balloting in Baltimore recently, where 5,000 ex-serviceo men voted on the wine and beer proposition and 4,900 favored it.
