WORK OF THE CLUBS
THE STUDY OF THE WEEK IN
DIFFERENT LINES
Current Topics Observation-Disclosures
Society to Meet-Ruskin Art
Club-Browning Talks

The Current Topic club, conducted by
Mrs. Kate Tupper Galpin, met last
Thursday morning at SIT South Fremont
avenue. The rapid changes in the con-
dition of the affairs of the world, as
CLEANED from the papers. magazines and
reviews, afford abundant material for
discussion at these weekly meetings.
The usual plan Of passing questions
previously prepared on slips of paper was
followed. These were answered as num-
bered by the member holding them and
discussed by the club. The first quest ton
referred to the present situation in Crete
and European Turkey. In connection
with this topic the method of declaring
war between nations received due share
of atten tion.
The progress of the war in Cuba was
the next number, which unfolded Wey-
ler's methods on the island to eubdue the
unfortunate inhabitants.
The Manchurian railroad through
Siberia and its president, Hon. Ching
Chang, was the next subject for query,
and proved very instructive. The treaty
between China and Russia, in regard to
this great enterprise, and the probable
effect of both on the civilization of the
Orient, opened new field of thought.
The report of President Jordan of
Stanford university was of uncommon
interest, in view of the fact that he has
again been appointed a commissioner
on the seal question. The habits of the
seal as explained in this report from the
standpoint of natural history, and the
terms used in zeal fishing. proved an
almost inexhaustible subject. A pleasant
an instructive meeting was enjoyed.

Ruskin Art Club

The Ruskin club held its regular meet
ing Wednesday last at its rooms in the
Phillips block. In the absence of the
president, the club was conducted by
Mrs. NJ. E. Stilson. The morning les
son was the masterpiece of Greek sculp-
ture known as THE Farnese Bull" 1.-THE
Venus di Milo" and "The LAGOON" 1.-THE
group is the work of Appolonius and
Tauriscus Frullee in Caria. 1t was found
in 1916 in the therma of the baths of
Caracalla at Rome in a mutilated con-
dition. Its restoration was superin-
tended by Michael Angelo.
The Venus di Milo" was found in 1920
in the island of Melos. Furlwangler,
who is the most recent authority, says
that its date Is between $50 and SO B.
c. and belongs to that renaissance about
the middle of the second century B. c.,
which embodied reaction against the
extravaganza of the Hellenistic school,
ard the LAGOON, one of the most famous
works of ancient sculpture now in the
Vatican at Rome was found in the Sette
Lala on the side of the Esquiline hill. 1t
was discovered in 1906. 1t was purchas-
ed for Pope Julius II. for the Vatican.
II was taken to Paris by that Prince of
robbers, Napoleon, but was recovered in
1S14 This work was made by the Rho
dian artists Ageianeter and his sons
Athanadosus and Polydorus. The proof
of this is a vase found by Cardinal AL
bani in a deep vault on which was in
laid the design of the LAGOON, with the
inscription that the Rhodian artists
made it.

TESTIMONY CLASHED
WHEN THE ATroaNzxs SUED
FOR FEES
Only One Thing II Csrtain-Every-
body Wishss He, Had . Lot
Of Money

CARSON. New, May SAN anxious
throng' Of spectators gathered In the
United States circuit court this morn
ing to hear the testimony Of witnesses in
the Heney case. Trenor Comm was the
first witness. He stated that when the
suit was brought Heney told him in the
prison that he would be willing to join
with the attorney in refuting the testi-
mony which he is now. .giying.
Attorney Woodburn also said that
three weeks ago Heney never disputed
his claim, and that the first intimation
given to him of the $500 was In court
Saturday. Woodburn said that he made
the contract with Mrs. Heney for 5000
and expenses. and that he never spoke
to them on the question of salary. On
the. night the transfers were made, the
prisoner assigned the mortgages in full
for salary. and the only qualification
J placed on them was when he said: IF
you realize the $500 you VIII never see
Mary (his wife) want?" Woodburp re-
piled. NO" but contended that the
property was not worth more than half
the face value. At one time before either
trial, witness was discharged by his eli
ent and consented to receive $1,000 for
services up to date. and after being re-
employed charged $4,000. as at first. max
ing his bill with his expenses of $500.
Sheriff Kinney corroborated Wood
burn. saying that Heney had told him
that he was TO pay the attorney $4,000
and costs, but the sheriff admitted that
he kept secret on Saturday the fact
that after the two attorneys had de-
parted on the night Of the transfer Heney
said: you understand. Kinney. Wood
burn is to take $4,000 and Coffin $500 and
remit the balance to my wife"
Mrs. Heney swore that in the presence
OF her mother. shortly after the trans
action. the sheriff said: II hear the ar
rangements and will hold them to thei,
word. I will see that they do not job
you"
Nothing sensational developed in He
ney's testimony except that he said
Your honor, will promise in good
faith that II Woodburn will accept $43(
for his services and Coffin 500 for his,
will within ninety days dispose OF
mortgages and deposit $4,000 fine with the
clerk Of this court.
Witness also said that Cofin wanted
to get into his case because he was in the
Jones case.
At the conclusion. Of, the case Judge
Hawley said: ITO cay that there is a
great conflict of testimony in this case
would be putting 1t very mild. will
hold the case open that at any time
may introduce witnesses who will tend

risen. The case is continued until Sat

An Eye Witness

Says that he saw three high-grade upright
pianos sold yesterday at the Bartlett Alter
alton sale in less than one hour. A re-
markable feature Of this sale is the
class Of instruments sold. Included in
this stock are pianos Of the high
est grade and Of the most expen-
sive designs. Strange to say the demand
for the better instruments. or the highest
priced ones such as the Kimball. Steinway
and Weber pianos. Is greatest. This is prob
ably accounted for by the fact that all of
them are being sold at wholesale cost, so
that strictly high-grade instruments are
being disposed OF at less than the price
usually obtained for lower grade pianos.
