This became first known In yesterdays City Council meeting when Mayor Pe- ters caused introduction of an order I agreeable to arrangement with chamber officials, for appropriation of $2500 of taxpayers money, as part of the $29,500 which it is expected will be required in lawyers fees, and for other expenses for presentation of the case.

Some Councilors questioned If the body has power to appropriate money for any such purpose. One said the chamber members and business and industrial corporations should bear all the expense of the fight. The order was tabled till Monday, when Law Department advice will be sought. F. S.

Davis of the chamber maritime association, in applying to the Mayor for the $2500 appropriation in which the Council is asked to concur, said that the following organizations have contributed to the fund as noted: Chamber of Commerce. $5000: Boston Albany Railroad, $2500: Boston Maine, $2500; New Haven. $2500; Cunard Steamship Company. $1500; International Mercantile Marine, $150; Furness, Withy Company, $1500; United Fruit Company. $1500; $500 each.

C. H. Sprague Sons, Rogers Webb, Terminal Wharf and Warehouse Company, Quincy Market Cold Storage Company, A. C. Lombard Sons, Lee, Higginson Co, Kidder, Peabody Co, Hornblower Weeks, State Chamber of Commerce, Worcester and Providence Chambers of Commerce; $1000 each.

First National Bank, National Shawmut Bank. Old Colony Trust Company; $250 each, Boston Fruit and Produce Exchange, New Bedford and Fall River Chambers of Commerce, The Associated Industries of Massachusetts contributed $2000. Communication to Mayor The Davis communication to the Msvor follows, in part: The Maritime Association, after careful consideration of all conditions that are militating against a reasonably full utilization of the facilities and natural advantages of the port of Boston, and which are causing foreign and coastwise business, that may properly be considered tributary to said port, to be diverted to other ports, has reached the conclusion that permanent relief from the present intolerable and unfair situation may be realized only when the present rail rate differentials in favor of Baltimore and Philadelphia applicable to export and import traffic from and to the West are abolished and such readjustment made as will place all Atlantic and Gulf ports on a parity in respect to said rail rates. For many years Baltimore and have had the advantage of dif-Drentials in rail rates under New York and Boston on traffic from and to the Western territary bounded roughly by a line from Pittsburg to Buffalo, north of the Ohio River, east of the Mississippi and south of the Great Lakes. Through rates, however, were in a measure equalized up to 1919 by the practice of the steamship lines in maim taining lower ocean rates from Boston than from Baltimore.

This practice was discontinued in 1919, since which time the steamship lines have charged substantially the same ocean rates from all Atlantic and Gulf ports, and although the Maritime Association has been endeavoring to bring about the restoration of the pre-war sea differentials, there is no definite assurance that it will be accomplished in the reasonably near future, and if it were, it could only be considered a temporary remedy at best. Wants to Retain Clark Under the order of the Interstate Commerce Commission in 1912, Baltimore was allowed 3 cents and Philadelphia -cents per 100 pounds, less than the rail rates to New York on general cargo, while Boston was required to maintain New York rates. On grain Baltimore was allowed a differential of 1.5 cents and Philadelphia 1 cent per 100 pounds under New York and Boston. On import traffic Baltimore was allowed differentials of 8, 8, 3, 3, 3, and 3 cents on the six classes of freight, and 3 cents on commodities, and Philadelphia 6, 6, 2, 2, 2, 2 cents on the six classes and 2 cents per 1X) pounds on commodities. As to all of these differentials, they should be considered as being less than the New York rates which carriers are obliged to maintain to and from Boston under the order of the commission.

"Edgar E. Clark, who is generally recognized as the leading transportation authority of this country, recently resigned as chairman of the Interstate Commerce Commission for the purpose of engaging in private practice. His associate Js Wilbur LaRoe Jr, formerly chief examiner of the Interstate Commerce Commission. These gentlemen have been consulted by a special committee of the Maritime Association and have expressed the opinion that there Is a reasonable prospect that the Baltimore and Philadelphia differentials may be successfully attacked under present conditions which are very different from those which prevailed at the time said differentials were authorized by the Interstate Commerce Commission in 1912. Messrs Clark and LaRoe will prosecute our case before the Interstate Commerce Commission for a total retainer of $15,000, plus actual cash expenditures.

Itj is estimated the total expense will not exceed $25,000. A tentative apportionment of this expense is shown in the statement attached hereto and made a part hereof, totaling $29,500. Should New York interests participate and assume a part of the expense, the Individual amounts as shown In the statement would be sealed accordingly. PLAN TO SPEED UP STREET REPAIR WORK DEFEATED Confident it was defending a fundamental of the segregated budget principle under which the city Is now operating, a City Council majority yesterday voted down an ordinance amendment offered by the United Improvement Association, designed, the associations spokesman said, to effect more rapid repair of street surfaces broken open for underground work and seldom put in proper shape afterward with any degree of promptness. The amendment provided that all sums paid to the city by corporations or Individuals making the openings should go Into the Public Works Department instead of to the treasurys general fund, as is the standing custom.

Public Works Commissioner Thomas F. Sullivan said that approximately Is annually expended by his department in putting these broken surfaces back in shape, and recorded Itimself as favoring the amendment. On streets where the city has no guarantee from contractors, it has been the Public Works Departments practice to spend money in repair work by transfer from Us maintenance fund, sending bills to corporations or individuals involved. Commissioner Sullivan said thafi If, under the (proposed amendment, this class of city debtors paid the money back to his department, instead of to the general fund, he could be quite certain of having enough money available to carry on this type of work, throughout the fiscal year. Under existing circumstances, all funds he can possibly devote to this kind of work are exhausted about midway in the fiscal year, and no mors such work can be done until the new fiscal year.

As soon as this work is halted thus annually, interests affected by the suspension begin complaining about the seeming negligence that ensues. It was to correct this condition that the United Improvement Association acted. Budget Commissioner Rupert 8.

TRAIN SERVICE ON HUNTINGTON-AV LINE Trustees New Plan to Handle Traffic Transfers From Frequent Lake-St and Jamaica Plain Gars The trustees of the Boston Elevated Railway Company are about to Inaugurate a new service of two and three-car trains upon Huntington av, between Brookline Village and Park Bt. to serve as a main line, with frequent single-car service transferring to it between Brookline Village and Lake st.

and between Huntington and South Hunting-ton avs and Jamaica Plain. Four different lines are now operated on Huntington av. It is explained by the trustees in a statement issued yesterday. These lines go from Park st to the Opera House, to Longwood av, to Lake st via Brookline Village and to Jamaica Plain via South Huntington av. This service.

the statement explains, is one of the most important traffic thoroughfares and is operated to a large extent on a reserved space. It is impossible to maintain satisfactory service and handle such a traffic with single cars operated on different routes varying in length and frequency of service. "It Is not unusual to find the cars on these lines bunched, followed by a considerable gap in the service. Such conditions necessarily result in not only irregular passenger loads, but lead to overcrowding of the cars. Until a subway is constructed to meet the heavy traffic on this line, an improvement for the great majority of car riders using Huntington-av lines can be secured without imposing serious burden upon other users by the operation of a train service over the existing reserved which will furnish increased speed and greater capacity.

For the reasons stated the trustees have authorized a rearrangement of the Huntington-av service in order to meet existing traffic conditions. Two-car trains during nonrush hours, and three-car trains during rush hours, of center-entrance type cars, will be operated between Brookline Village and Psirk st, Frequent car service transferring to this main line will be operated between Lake st and Brookline Village and between Jamaica Plain and Huntington and South Huntington avs. Ah increase of 10 percent in service will be provided between the Opera House and Park st, and an increase of 20 percent provided between Huntington and South Huntington avs and Park st. The trains will be operated on a four-minute headway during nonrush hours and headway during rush hours. One of the important features Is the effect of such a change upon the Park-t-t Subway station situation.

In pluce of 36 units, providing a total of 46 cars, around Park-st loop during the rush hours on these lines, there will he but 17 train units, providing a total of 51 cars, which Improves track capacity and simplifies the berthing of cars. The frequent single car service on the Jamaica Plain and Lake-st lines will also avoid the present long waits for outbound cars on these lines. Local flve-cent flares will be Inaugurated at the same time op the Chestnut Hill-Lake st and Jamaica Plain lines. "The trustees believe this to be so important an experiment with what they reel sure will mean large results in benefit to the car riders that they have authorized a preliminary statement in explanation, with the hope that the meaning and purpose of It will be carefully studied by the patrons of the rail way."

RESUME STILLMAN PROCEEDINGS TODAY Wifes Witnesses to Take Stand at Hearings Claim Banker and Mrs Leeds Were Together Last Summer POUGHKEEPSIE. Y. Nov 28-Hearings in the divorce suit of James A.

Stillman, New York banker, against Mrs Anne U. Stillman will be resumed in Poughkeepsie before Referee Gleason tomorrow after a lapse of several months. The plaintiff having rested his case in which he sought to prove Mrs Stillman guilty of misconduct, and attacked the paternity of her three-year-old son, Guy Stillman, the remaining sessions will embrace defense of herself and her child, and a counter-attack upon Mr Stillman. Subpena servers were sent to New York today to corral 20 witnesses for appearance tomorrow and Wednesday. The testimony of some of them will be for the purpose of showing that Mr Stillman was with his wife In December, 1917, and the first three months of 1918.

This period is of importance in establishing the paternity of Guy Stillman, who Mr Stillman alleged to be the son of a family servant, Fred Beauvais, a part Indian guide. Guy was born In November 1918. Saw Stillmans Together It is understood witnesses for Mrs Stillman will tell of seeing her and Mr Stillman together in a New York hotel and on their country estate. Mondanne, in the Pocantico Hills, early in 191S. thers are expected to support her charges that Mr Stillman pretended to be Harold Franklin Leeds, the husband of Florence H.

Leeds, ex-Broadway show girl, and that' she bore him a eon. Jay Ward Leeds, in September 1918. Their alleged misconduct will be brought up to date by witnesses, it was said, with evidence that Stillman and Mrs Leeds were on outings together on Long Island last Summer. Mrs Stillmans counsel shortly will arrly for the appointment of a commissioner to take testimony in Canada, where Beauvais, named as corespondent, lives. Mr Stillman alleged his wife and the guide were guilty of misconduct at the bankers Summer camp near Three Rivers, Que.

Witnesses from Canada gave testimony to support these charges when the first hearings took place in New York lact December. It is with the intention of weakening their statements and ofl silting up contradictory testimony that Y-rs Stillmans lawyers and John E. Mack, guardian ad litem for Guy Ptill man, are to ask that their Canadian witnesses be heard. May Get Evidence in Canada It Is their Intention to have a commissioner sit st Montreal within the next three weeks, and their application probably be made before Supreme Court Justice Morschauser at Poughkeepsie this week or at Newburg next week. After the hearings, beginning tomorrow.

and those expected to be held at Montreal, only a few witnesses for Mrs Stillman and Guv are to be called to Poughkeepsie. When they have been 1 heard the plaintiff will have an opportunity for rebuttal, and then It is expected that the Stillman divorce case, begun in the Summer of 1920, will go to the referee and Justice Morschauser for decision.
