Almost daily, when the portly, part- ly bald, ad dignified master of, mil- lions visited the aristocratic villa. cottage near the Flamingo Hotel, , thirty-one-nonth-old little "Jay Leeds" rushed toward him, row his arms about his neck, 'and "Daddy, daddy!" Incidents such as this together with the whole story of "Mrs. Leeds's" re- cent pathetic fight, were told yes- terday to this correspondent by Mrs Carolyn R. Fitch. who for two months was maid and tutor of Baby "Jay Leeds," alleged son of Stillman and "Flo" Lawler.

Mrs. Fitch, who sought seclusion because of her distaste for the scan- dalous features of her mistress's con- nection when found yesterday freely discussed her associations with Mts. Leeds and her baby Jay. Shd told how James A. Stillman was a frequent visitor to the Leeds villa on Biscayne Bay and how her sus- picions were aroused when young Jay referred to the banker as Daddy. It was Mrs. Fitch who cared for young Jayy while his mother took a flying trip to Havana and who later made arrangements for Mrs. Leeds to stay at a local hotel on her return from Cba. Mrs. Fitch said: "All of the facts concerning the Stillman suits and Mrs. Leeds have been so unpleasant that I have tried to keep out of the affair. Detectives and lawyers have- been after me for weeks, but I came here to stay with friends so as to avoid being inter- viewed. I'don't understand how any- one was able to locate me. Of course, I don't mind admitting that I was employed by Mrs. Leeds and that I cared for her son, Jay Leeds, up until the time she started North and took the youngster with her.

Here are the questions which the remarkable test now under way are expected to answer; 1. Can a rat with an interstitia run farther and longer than with- out? 2. How long Is the newly-in stilled energy effective? 3. What is the effect upon the rat after the energy begins to wane if it does wane? 4.

Heber Votaw bas been t~edered the appointment ot Super- Intendent of Prison., the biggest penalogical post in the United States, to succeed Denver S.

Dickerson formerly was superia- Itendent of the Nevada Peniteatiary, where his humanitarian and' reform work was so notable that two years agoe when the post became vacant. the United States Government took him to be chief of all the penal in- stitutions under Federal control. Be- cause of his eminenoe in prison work the Department of Justies asked and obtained a waiver of the rules of the Civil Servles Bureau and appoated him.

Harding d the lat ltr eY of his Sons die When Mr. Hardin, resigned Dr. Vo- taw continued his service as second secretary to Senator Willis, his sue- cessor. He also has been a lecturer at the Adventist College at Tacoma Park, Md. The precedent established In Mr. Dichlersea's ease might have n fol- lowed in order to dualify . Votaw for the position, but by a o ece this was rendered unnecessary. It seems that prison wardens were en- empt fre civil service, while super- intendents of prisons were not. It occurred to somebody that an injus- tice might result if It were desired to promote a warden. The matter hav- ing been called to President Harding's attention. he leaned an assentve order taking the superintendent of Federal prisons out of the civil sorv- 10 cansoioand the -osil eb- stacle to the appointment of Dr. Ye. taw vanished. It is reported that Dr. Votaw de. clined to accept the position on the strength of an executive order by his brother In law, on the ground that il-natured persons might use it as a basis of criticism. So, despite the executive order making such a coese unnecessary, he went before the Civil Service Board and passed a creditable examination for the post. He picked that job out for himself in the begin- ning, feeling that it afforded him a means of continuing the sort-of work he did In the Best.
