Intended for Bribery Is Tried
by Judge Wood.

The suit of Henry Nicolaus against
Charles H. Turner and others. to have the
$4,000 Suburban Doodle fund deposited in a
safe-deposit box of the Lincoln Trust
Company turned over to the German Saw
ings Institution in payment Of notes given
by Turner and indorsed by Nicolaus and
Ellis Wainwright was tried yesterday in
Judge Woods division of the Circuit
Court and taken under advisement. The
attorneys in the case were allowed ten
days in which to file briefs.
Circuit Attorney Joseph W. Folk, who
was made defendant in the case. was
represented at the trial by Assistant Cir
cult Attorney Andrew c. Maroney, who
contended that the money would be need
ed as evidence IN the prosecution of Doodle
cases. He further contended that in any
event the money should not be applied to
the payment Of the notes.
Turner testified to borrowing the money;
for bribery. In the event Of the Subur-
ban bill being passed the money was to be
paid to nineteen members Of the House of,
Delegates, It was stated. Turner said
for which the money was to be used.
Nicolaus testified that to having signed
the notes as surety. but said he did not
for.
Philip Stock and John E. Murrell testi-
fled to having placed the money in the
safe deposit box and to having surren-
dered the keys Of the box to Mr. Folk
under an order Of the court, which was
produced.
A case in which Nicolaus is trying to
have liberated $4,000 Suburban boodle
fund deposited in safe deposit box of
the Mississippi Valley Trust Company

Ryan. who said he would withhold his de-
cision until the Doodle case prosecutions
were finished.
Judge Wood said that he would not with.
hold his decision, but that in the event of
his finding in favor OF Nicolaus that he
might order execution of the Judgment
stayed.

WOULD ExPEND s1,00o,ooo
TO IMPROVE WATERW0RKs
'commissioner Adkins Believes that
Sum Would Cover Cost of Pro-
posed Betterments.

One million dollars is the total sum
which Water Commissioner Adkins thinks
will be necessary to make the improve
ments at the Waterworks plant, which he
will doubtless propose to the Board of
Public improvements at Tuesdays meet
ing.
The first work to be done is to install
two new boilers, and an ordinance to that
effect probably will be submitted to the
board for approval at the next meeting.
Following that he will ask for two new
pumps. as he says the maximum capacity
of the pumping station at present should
be raised and made working capacity.
new gravity station also will be re-
quired, as we'll an additional settling
basin. These improvements will be added
one at time, SO that the expense to the
city will be extended over a considerable
length Of time.
Commissioner Arkins desires so to i'm
prove the plant that It will be able to
supply the city for many years without
greatly increasing its size BY making
the proposed improvements at minimum
cost, he believes that the plant will be
capable Of furnishing sufficient water to
the city until the population reaches
10000.

Pretty and Novel Affair That Comes

shape of feather bag!
. Womankind has rejoiced in all sorts
Of bags Of many sorts of materials. Leath-

while the original silk bags have been
worked out in every sort of fabric. Just
when one supposed all the bags for this
season had been seen, out comes this sur
,prisfng novelty in the shape of a feather
bag,
/. Shorn of all its feathers, this bag is
about six inches each way. 1t is lined
with white silk and contains one tuck
pocket. The mountings are of silver. the
solid link chain being about eighteen or
twenty inches in length. The entire bag
lis covered with fiimy white marabout
feathers. with sprinkIing of black est
rich. Across the lower edge hang five tails
made OF these feathers This makes the
bag look very long. 1t requires next to
no motion at all to set all the tails most
picturesquely aflutter. Paris will have to
think hard to outdo herself after sending
us this pretty affair.

THE COMING OF LOVE.

He came in the sea-drift and rain,
His eyes held a passionate pain,
The night-dew lay damp on his hair;
l knew not the face nor the form,
The voice of undying. despair
That craved for rest from the storm
! opened my door straight and wide.
And beckoned him safe to my side.
He fingered anear me; each day
Brought gladder, new sense of dismay
AS closer he crept to my heart.
: This outcast who came with the wind:
never dared bid him depart,
For l knew there would nestle behind
Grave sorrow, unending regret
For something too fond to forget.
One morning rose unaware,
And stole up my hearts secret stair,
And gazed through the half-open door:
My guest sat awake on throne,
His dread culver lay on the floor,
And 1 knew 1t was Love, who alone
Had braved all the tempest's mad strife
To teach me the glory of Life
