BOARD OF HEALTH ASKS HIGHER TAXES AS WAY OUT OF DEBT

MRS. LEEDS BARES MORE OF HER LIFE WITH J. A. STILLMAN Two Children Younger Than ‘Jay’ Died Shortly After Birth, She Declared in Exclusive Interview With the United Press, By FRANK H. GETTY (Copyright, 1923, by United Press.) (Copyright in Canada.) NEW YORK, May 22.—“ I trill stick till they carry you out in a cold pine bos.” Such was Flo Leeds’ promise to James A. Stillman in her last appeal, written to him on Oct. 22. 1922, in a final effort to persuade the former New York banker to continue her old allowance ot $1,500 a month for the support and care for the boy, Jay. This letter, and many letters, written by the banker to Mrs. Leeds will be made public if the differences between Mrs. Leeds and Stillman lead to a clash in court. In these letters, Mrs. Leeds declares the bonker asserted he was only awaiting the day when he could acknowledge the boy as his son before the world.

Stillman drew a will for Mrs. Leeds, making himself, guardian for Jay in the event of ner death, she said today in a second exclusive interview with the United Press. Jay was not the only child of her union with Stillman. Mrs. Leeds disclosed. Two other children were bom after the birth of the chubby “Sturdie,’ as she calls Jay, and in whom her whole life now centered. Her letter of Anal appeal to Stillman, dated Oct. 22, 1922, read as follows: The Final Appeal Nine Hundred and Sixtv-nine Park Ave., Oct. 22, 1922. "Consider not hew I write this appeal to you, J., but why "It's for the love I bear our boy. and my desire to do everything that is best for him. “Together with the existence of my loneliness, the solitude of my thoughts and the bitterness of my unbelief —these are what prompt this last attempt to touch that which I hope exists in your nature—honor. "Nearly two years ago you pleaded with me to stand by. you. 1 did, loyally, and while I would not raise my voice to the detriment of the woman—or a child that was being fought so loved you, and told you: "‘I will sttek till they carry you „ out in a cold pine box.' "I have never gone back on that, but I know now that it is not what you want, and with this realization, I cast aside all pride —all of the things that are—for those that were—and in this moment I do not seek your love or your purse—for myself—but just "a word, a helpful suggestion, for the welfare cf little Jay, “No matter who your Interests are centered in today, J., do not Ignore this appeal, for whoever claims your attention now will pass—lt Is only a question of time —but - Jay is your flesh and Wood —a part of you. Asks For Consideration “It is wrong of you to leave two helpless humans, without a word, and I know it is equally wrong to urge the unwilling to return—but surely moments such as we have known —In suffering together—count for at least—consideration. “To remind you of all this is very humiliating, I can assure you, but down in my heart I know I have done everything that is noble by the man, the woman and the child, under the circumstances. “I did what you hoped I would do; myself control and silence surprised you; the ordeal has brought out anything that was fine in me. I am better for having gone through it, and while externally defeated In my loss of you. I have established something within me that will never die. And In closing this door behind me. I feel I shall open up another into better and finer things. “In less elaborate terms the helpful suggestions I ask of you deal mostly with the will. You drew It up, making yourself guardian of Jay. "If anything unforeseen happens, do you still want to take him? “If you have changed your mind with regard to this, too, I must make anew selection. Settling this will greatly add to my peace of mind. "Then this place; It la beyond me with its taxes and upkeep, and far exceeds my purse—since you have never returned the money I spent out in traveling during your hour of trouble. “All this actuates my placing it (the apartment at 969 Park Ave., where Mrs. Leeds now lives) on the market. The return will keep the wolf from the door till Jay Is old enough to work for Himself. “I believe that any large principal is a hindrance to a man. It does not give his character a chance to assert itself. But I hoped you would continue Jay’s monthly allowance until he was 21, which could have been applied to his education. .. ... . . , “And then, too, you promised you would. “There are many things which I will not attempt to enumerate here. “Cannot we go over them all—together—it would only take an hour. “You often wrote you were proud of me, and that T had the commendation of your sisters, but surely not a Christian man would speak to you, If they knew of your behavior, so please don't fall me. "I am absolutely alone—with my problems—and your boy.” Stillman, Mrs. Leeds said, never replied to this letter. Two Children Dead The two other children born to Mrs. Leeds and Stillman died, she said. One came a year after the birth of J*_y. It was dead when born. A third, bt pUsed “Ainsley,” was born at Sloan's Hospital, New York, Nov. 14, 1920, according to Mrs. Leeds. This son died hours. If was shortly after this, she sai<A

that the banker's Interest in her waned. “He was a changed man," she said. “Going off on parties on the yacht with other women, while I sat at Miami with little Jay, believing him when he said he was called to New York- on business. “I never cruised on that yacht, The only times I was aboard it were when It was at anchor. I even decorated it —for the parties on which he was to entertain others.” Speaking of Stillman's protestations of affection for Jay, Mrs. Leeds said: “The letters he wrote me! His expressions of affection for the boy! “ ‘They say I would turn from you ami from little Jay,’ he wrote to me. I only look forward to the day when I can stand up before all the world and acknowledge him.' “That was during tho Stillman divorce trial. I believed him, and kept silent. "Mr. Stillman wrote me that his whole family spoke well of me; of how his sisters commended my attitude." Has Wonderful “Case.” It is these letters of Stillman. Mrs. Leeds indicated, that make her attorneys feel she has “a wonderful case.’’ Mrs. Leeds last night received newspaper reporters at her apartment here and gave them full confirmation of the Interview carried by the United Press yesterday morning in which she stated she was considering filing suit against Stillman. Mrs. Leeds lawyer pointed out there were several steps that could be taken. One of them is to compel the banker to support the infant boy, or if she could prove that Stillman had contracted to support herself or the boy or both, Mrs. Leeds could bring action, on the basis of a breach of contract.

THE INDIANAPOLIS TIMES

City Department Is Behind in Payment of Monthly Bills and Temporary Loan Is Coming Due Soon —Exact Condition Covered Up, Inability to pay bills and a continuous round of temporary loans has always been the experience of the board of health, but its present financial condition is probably the worst in years, as the board is $40,000 deeper in debt than it was at this time last year. In a plea for a high enough tax levy for the coming year to put the board on sound financial footing, Dr. Herman G. Morgan, executive secretary, told Mayor Shank and city department heads at a cabinet meeting' Monday of the board’s additional $40,000 burden and predicted that if expenditures were continued at the present rate the amount would be more than doubled by the end of the year.

EARLY SETTLEMENT OF BRITISH DEBT IS BAM PLAN Selection of New Prime Minister Will Speed Up Funding of $4,000,000,000, By LAWRENCE MARTIN United Ureas Staff Correspondent fCopyright , 1923, by United Press) WASHINGTON, May 22.—Selection ot Stanley Baldwin as prime minister of Britain means an early Anal agreement between the United States and Great Britain on the funding of Britain’s $4,000,000,000 war debt. While It has been generally supposed that this matter was all settled, the fact is It has been hanging Are, and only today the British ambassador here sent to his government the “last word” of the United States on certain changes desired by the British government In the agreement. Technical Changes These changes have to <lo In part With the bonds that the British government is to issue to these governments. The changes Brfialn seeks are technical and relative, but to the treasuries of the two governments they are Important and to talk disagreement about them might conceivably endanger tho whole situation. Baldwin, It was recalled hero today by treasury officials, was in the main responsible for getting his govern mont’s approval on the debt settlement’s main terms. He, in fact, "went to the mat” with Bonar Law about it, and argued that for a number of reasons, not the least of which was American British friendship, the British government could not afford to refuse to sanction the arrangement reached at Washington. New Type of Politician. His selection was received in official circles here today with gratification Baldwin Is regarded here as anew type of British prime minister—a type which, political observers believe, will be seen more and more in the von of political movements from now on, not only In Europe but In the United States. He is a “business type” who may be expected to apply to government some of the same rules he would apply to business. His selection marks a political trend which in this country is giving Henry Ford his great strength among the masses of voters Baldwin, officials here believe, will not quibble over details of the debt settlement, but will put it into effect promptly and begin paying off the British obligation.

"We are still operating on the snme level aa we did eight years ago, but the city’s growth has not stood still,’' Dr. Morgan said. “The city hospital is running at capacity. It is imperative that something Fe done tor next year. This year we will have to cut expenditures to a minimum If we do not show a large deficit at the end of the year.” Statement Confidential Dr. Morgan wag asked for an exact financial statement of the board, but refused to show It except “in confidence.” Its exact condition could not be learned as no one seemed to have any Idea of the amount of unpaid bills. Controller Joseph L. Hogue said he believed the board “had a special place to keep their bills as only a few were ever paid and creditors were continually running to his office asking for their money.” Hogue said the board had paid in all about one month's bills since the first of the year and it probably would be able to pay that many more when taxes are received in June. He said that amount would probably be all it would be able to pay this year. Loan Due June 20. The controller's books show the board has on hand now 165,000. while at this time last year it had $02,000. A temporary loan of $175,000 Is due June 20. The board's pay roll Is about $22,000 a month and there are two more due before taxes are received. Controller Hogue said that after the board pays its temporary loan from taxes, 'if they are lucky they will be able to meet one month's bills." Expenses run approximately $40,000 a month. Dr. Morgan said the constantly in-, creasing debt is due to Increased cost of supplies. Increased scope of the board's work and the many patients that had been taken care of at the city hospital. He said the diptheria and respiratory disease waves had kept tho hospital overcrowded and running at its capacity constantly.
