SINGLE COPY 5 CENTS I OASTONIA DA MRS. STILLMAN GETS $7.500M0NTHLY ALIMONY Together With .Counsel Fee of $35,000 and $12,500 For Expenses Judge Rules Out Confession Letter. FOUGHKEEPSIE, X. Y., April 1. j Temporary alimony of $7,500 a inonlli. counsel fees of f.to.OOO and $1,500 ffr i-xrvense. were fixed today for Mrs. Anne U. Stillman by Supreme Justice Joseph Morsehauser in the suit for divorce instuuieil against ner uy jamcs ...... . . i i A. Stillman, president of the National City hank of New York. Mr. Btillman had asked alimony of $10,000 a month and $75,000 counsel fees. Justice Morschautier made public his decision after he hud transmitted it j to the court clerk at White Plains, along ! with affidavits and pleadings presented ' in the case. j In his decision the justice ruled out j of the divorce suit as confidential and privileged the nlleged "confession" let- ter written to Mr. Btillmyn by his wife. He also ruled out letters alleged to havej been written to Mrs. Stillman by Fred : Beanvais, an Indian guide, who was named in the banker's complaint as co -j respondent and accused of being the; father of Mrs. Stillman's infant son,! Guy. ! The decision set forth that Mrs. Ktillman had pleaded recriminations in her answer to the banker's complaint, and that both husband and wife made; charges "founded upon an allegation of i adultery. " "A husband or wife is not competent; to testify against the other," on hucIi j allegations, the decision said. The jus-. tic decided that the affidavits to which the letters were npiended contained mat ter that Mr. Htillman could not testify to, anil it was upon this ground that the communications were barred. Justice Morsehauser pointed out that hi inhibition against admitting the al leged messages from Beanvais to Mrs. Htillman applied only to the motion un der consideration and that they might be offered again in connection with later motions. 'i'u , Referring to the alleged letter writ1 ten to Mr. Stillman by his wife to the j admission of which her attorneys object ed, and which it was charged by counsel 1 for the banker she wrote "in a moment of hysteria, implicating herself," the do -j cision said : "Communications and transactions be i tirern husband and wif were early rec I ogiiized a privileged and neither could I be compelled to disclose what took place between them and neither was a coinpo tent witness to testify as to such trans actions or communications of a coiifiden . tial nature. or induced by the marital re In tion . "From excrienee it was found that j far less evil would result from the ex clusion of such testimony than from its admission. It may in individual cases' work hardship, but the destruction of, confidence between a husband and wife would cause much misery and affect the marriage relations. This rule is found-j ed Uon sound public olicy. " Referring to Mrs. Stillman's charge that her financier husband is the father of a 30 months old son born to "Mrs. Florence II. Leeds,'' former music revue girl, the decision said: "The defendant has amended lur an wer and charges acts and conduct upon the plaintiff of similar character as; charged by him against her and such acts are supported by affidavits of different persons. j "She does not seek a divorce but; (deads recrimination against the defend nut us a defense. If the acts and eon -j duct as charged against each other are sustained, neither will be entitled to a decree. "If these charges are established the' plaintiff and defendant will find them selves in the same Ksit ion as before he commencement of the action, except that they will have had their day in court, or perhaps Keveral days, as to matters af fecting them, and this means time, labjr and expenditure of money. " I The decision said it was "a debata ble question " whether the letters alleged to have Wen written to Mrs. Stillman by' the Indian guide, one of her husband's servants, "should be received upon the plaintiff's affidavit, unaccompanied by other affidavits. ' ' Ciuy Stillman, the infant whose legiti macy was attacked by Mr. Stillman and who is named co defendant with his' mother, "will bear a stain which cannot j Ik erased and for which he i not respon ! sible, if the husband is successful in hi, suit. said the decision. "The plaintiff seeks to do that which lie believes is his duty to himself and his children," it continued. "The plaintiff,' having challenged the paternity of the c-hildt the defendant conies to its protec tion and to the defense of its legitimacy. ; That is her duty and she iis right in her claim. Hhe vigorously champions the-' child's cause and this is directed from, any mother. "The interest of the defendant and of tho infant in this case are to a great ex-i tent the same. " The three Stillman children, other than' the infaat whose paternity is attacked, "are of sufficient age to determine with! whom they desire to reside during the' pendency of the action," Justice Mor-j fcchauser ail. ' apix-ar to stand ouCof the mass of sensa- "Their preference should control in tional rumors relative to the attempt of the circumstances now presented.

Warning was given Hungary today liy the allies that tlu restoration of the Hapsburg dynasty vvol,i,i t.nt!iil disastrous , t)i0 Hungarian nation. conseiiueiice-i for This warning, issued through the council of ambassadors, constituted a virtual ultimatum from tin chief allied , i,0wers, including ireal ivritain Frame, Italy, anil their lesser associates. It was given an additional point by the fact that it wart communicated ofliiially t j the allied states by which Hungary is surrounded ( '.echo .Slovakia , Jugo slavia, Rumania and Poland, at least the first three of winch, comprising the 'little entente," have declared them selves ready to take military action against the Hapsburg restoration. Mean while, advices reaching I'aris through official and other reliable channel;:, give no confirmation of the rumors that ex Pmperor Charier Budapest at tin was marching upon head of a large body of troops to replace himself upon ic throne. "The events of which Hungary is the theater," the resolution read, "place the principal allied powers under obliga- i tion to recall to the government and the. ! pi ople of Hungary the terms of their 'declaration of February I, 1 !'-!. (In this declaration the council of iiinbassn I ders declared the principal allied powers I considered that restoration of the Haps- burg dynasty would not be consistent 1 with the principles for which the war ! had been fought and at variance with the whole basis of the peace settlement and that such restoration "would be neither recognized nor tolerated by them. ") "Faithful to the principles enunciated 'o that declaration," coiitinu the resolu tions, "the allies have the duty to repeat that the restoration of the Hapsbiirgs would imperil the very foundation of the peace, and that it could be neither recog nized nor tolerated. "The allied powers count on the Hun garlnn government, conseiou.i of the gravity of tin' situation that would be created by the return to the throne of tl.e former sovereign, to take etliraiious measures to suppress the attempts whose success', however momentary, could have but disastrous consequences for Hun gary.

The Hungarian minister in Vienna called on Chancellor Mayr during the evening and asked if. in principle, the Austrian government would permit1 Charles to cross Austrian territory on bis, v;iv to Switzerland. Chancellor Mayr n pliedin the affirmative. This interview, followed a visit to the chancellor by the Sc. i-s minister, who stated his govern mi lit would be willing to grant Charles safe conduct over the Swi-s frontier. Callers at the Hungarian legation yes t rday afternoon were assured that the bulk of the Hungarian armv was loyal lo Admiral Ilorlhy, the regent. These incidents tend to lessen the ten-i sion prevailing all day yesterday as a result of sensational reports favorable to the monarchists ' caue. It is pointed out here, however, that the Hungarian minis til is ail avowed I'arlist, and that the official notice that Charles would leave Hungary did not mintion the date of liis ' depa rt u r( "nor lib' destination. b'eports an;, current that an adjutant on the staff of General llchar. who is supporting the former emperor, is in Vienna, and has said that the firs! move.

UNABLE TO CONFIRM. PAHIS, April I. The French charge d'affaires in Budapest telegraphed to the foreign office here today that he was unable to confirm various press reports of Hungarian troop movements, adding that absolute calm prevailed in the Hun garian capital.

Its latest dispatches declare that calm prevails at Steiiiaman ger, where the ex emperor now is, except among a certain portion of the tumps. Charles, the advice-; state, is to bo taken some distance from the camp to the castle of Prince P.atthyani at Kor mend, to the south of Steiiiamaiiger, with County Teleky accompanying him.
