COURT ETIQUETTE
Why Judge johnson Set Aside an
Order Made by Him.

Order Made by Him.
a few weeks since quite a lively SEN
sation occurred in Judge Johnson's s
court because of certain allegations
made by Corporation Counsel r. T.
Devlin against ]. w. Armstrong, coun-
sci for the railroad company. The city
had sued the railroad company for its
alleged obstruction of a portion of
Sixth street but the suit was subse-
quently ordered withdrawn and a
stipulation to that effect was prepared
and signed by counsel on either side.
The case had been on the calendar of
Department One, but Attorney Arnl-
strong went to Department Two with
the stipulation, and Judge Johnson
made an order dismissing the case.
That was many months ago, but
last month Mr.. Devlin moved to have
the order set aside on the ground that
the court had been tricked and de-
ceived, and that the case did not belong
there, but in Department One.
Mr. Armstrong insisted that the sew
eral departments of the court were CO.
ence in which branch the order of dis
missal was made.
Judge Johnson took the matter under
advisement and rendered his decision
orally yesterday. While he holds that
there is but one Superior Court, and
that one department may take cog
niZance of the action of another he
prefers that the matter at issue be de-
termined in the department in which
the suit was begun. His department
had jurisdiction of the case. but it not
being in his department, under the
rules of court he felt that there was to
that extent an inadvertence, hence he
ordered that the judgment of dismiss
sal heretofore made be set aside and
vacated, and that the case be sent to
the proper department under the rules
for final action.
The court took occasion to say that
there was nothing to show any inn
proper motive on the part of counsel for
defendant when he filed the stipulation
and procured the judgment of dismissal.

KATIE M'NAMARA'S AWFUL DEATH.
Was Literally Roasted Alive Before
Her Parents Eyes.
A Chest-Pad Soaked With Turpentine
Takes Fire From the Flame
of Candle.

Nineteen-year-old Katie Mcnamara
died shocking death at the home of
her parents, Mr.. and Mrs John Nc
Namara, 1929 G street, about o'clock
yesterday morning Her night dress and
undergarments caught fire. and beside
being terribly burned the poor girl in
hailed the flames, and it was this that
killed her.
Miss Mcnamara was employed in
the household of Mr.. and Mrs Joseph
Genshlea, at Eleventh and G streets,
during the daytime, but spent her
nights at home, where she assisted her
mother in the latter's household cares.
She had been suffering for a few days
from cold, and learning that turpentine
applied to the chest was an excellent
remedy she saturated a piece of flannel
with the liquid on Thursday night, just
before the hour for retiring, and
placed it upon her chest beneath her
woolen undergarment
After having dOnned her night dress
and prepared for bed, she went to the
sitting-room, as was her nightly GUS
tom, to see that door leading to the
porch was securely locked, the rest of
the family having already retired, in
Guiding her younger sister, Carrie, who
occupied one of the rooms with her.
She first went into the kitchen and
extinguished a lamp that had been left
lighted there, and then to the door
leading to the porch, carrying a lighted
candle. The door was unlocked, and
opened when she tried the knob. AS it
did so the draught blew the flame of the
candle toward her, and in an instant
the turpentine on her chest-cloth took
fire. and the unfortunate girl became
envelOped in a sheet of flame
She screamed for her father, and he
sprang to her relief with bed quilt
with which he sought to smother the
flames. The frenzied girl evaded him at
first, but he soon managed to throw
the quilt about her and bear her to the
floor, where he succeeded after short
but severe struggle in quenching the
fire that enveloped his daughter. In
accomplishing this his hands were bad
ly burned.
Miss Mcnamara was carried to a
room and placed on bed and medical
assistance at once summoned, but she
was beyond human help. The upper
half of her body was shockingly burned,
especially where the cloth saturated
with turpentine had been fastened, and
in addition thereto the flames had
reached her lungs. She fingered about
six hours before death came to relieve
her of her awful suffering.
Miss Mcnamara was the idol of the
family and a favorite with all that
knew her. Her terrible death is a Sc
we're blow to the family, whose grief is
painful to behold Friends and neigh
bors are doing all in their power to con-
sole them in their aff1iction, but they
have not yet recovered from the terri
bic shock.

About the
Sale OF
4 90
CapeS and
Jackets.

The beginning of our Annual
Cloak Sale yesterday attracted a
great number of buyers, bat as
some 700 garments were reduced
for the occasion it is safe to say
that those who call during the
next day or so will find an ample
assortment of choice things to
choose from.
As sample of what We did for
this annual event, we call atten-
tiOn to lot of Fur Capes bought
by US in the East in August, 1906
for our Gall and winter business.
They were marked s27 80 and $50.
Many were sold at those prices.
About three weeks ago we re-
ducee those on hand to S2I so and
put them into a special sale.
Those that did not sell then were
reduced for this annual sale to
Sig so and SIS. This is a sample
of what We have been doing all
through the Cloak Room, and with
view to selling this season S
goods this season if prices will do
it. In preparing for this event
We said to ourselves not What
did this or that garment cost uS?"
but What price will be sure to
sell it nOw?"
Among the things of which We
have abundance are:

ROW OVER THE BIDS.
ContractorsFor Finishing the State
House in No Pleasant Temper
BECAUSE THE BIDS MADE PUBLIC.

Feel That They Have Been Made Vic
Tins Ofa Confidence Game-The Next
Offer of Bids Something OF a SHOW
Down.
There is large amount of dissatisfac-
ton ranking in the breasts of the con-
tractors who bid on the estimates for the
completion of the state house this week.
The contractors don't like it because
all the bids were rejected on the techni-
cal opinion of Attorney General Dawes,
that the advertisement for the bids was
not made in the proper manner.
The contractors say it is strange that
the attorney general should not make his
discovery until after all the bids were
opened.
The latest story about the rejection of
all the bids by the executive council is
to the effect that the right man did not
put in the lowest bid. This is the story
at least among the bidders.
The lowest total bid was put in by
Mayor Fellows firm, Fellows & Van
SAINT. who proposed to put in the win
dows according to the specifications for
$4,000.
man who says he knows what he is
talking about said to a STATE JOURNAL
reporter today that the administration is
friendly to Wilken & Tobias, a firm of
contractors from Baxter Springs, the
home of Col Alexander Warner.
Col Warner was here looking after the
interest of his home firm, but their bid
was the highest offered, being 1922, $50 or
$1,000 more than Mayor Fellows firm.
Colonel Warner, who was a member of
the Senator Rogers investigating COM
mittee, according to the story told the
JOURNAL reporter, voted to convict
Rogers under pressure, and he was to be
conciliated by giving his home con-
tractors a big slice of state work. This
story looks improbable. Colonel Warmers
friends and those who are best acquaint-
ed with him denounce the story and say
that Colonel Warner voted as his con-
science dictated on the Rogers matter.
Colonel Warmers firm was, however,
the highest of eight bids offered, and it
is now hardly likely that they will get
the work.
The council has now determined to
readyertise for bids on the same class of
work, and in addition will ask for bids
for finishing the governors quarters in
the south wing of the state house.
The advertisement will be published
in the official state paper to make it
legal publication, and it will also be pub
lished in a daily paper so that the con-
tractors will get to see it.
