SOME MYSTERIES
OF FINE LANGUAGE.

- HERE Is "a certain small point
connected with the pronuncia-
ton of words which has always
been profoundly puzzling to me.
Let US say a good, honest country
sirl has a graceful figure and a mu-
steal. sonorous voice. In addition, she
possesses talent for recitation. She is
ambitious. She goes into training and
comes out of the dramatic factory a
finished elocutionist. She has on tap
recitations of comedy and tragedy.
But now a curious transmogrideation,
so to speak, takes place. Whereas for
merly she spoke simply, naturally and
pleasantly, now she enbroiders and
friIls her words till you no longer al
ways know them when you hear them.
She has an oily gurgle in her throat
which enits itself with many an

At these sounds the rolling Of her eyes.

Now, here is the mystery: Why, after

should she call just plain words
''wayodes?" And why should she pro-
nounce ''wind''-air in motion-as If
she were talking of the winding of

Chicago. June 6.--Teamsters and em-
ployers alike were waiting in suspense
today for the action of the truck drivers
tonight on the question of arbitration.

association Is met and the arbitration
is in favor of the team owners the rest
of the strike will be short lived. II ar

probably strike.
An. attempt was made today by the
latest peace committee of labor men
to effect a settlement with the State
street stores but nothing definite was
accomplished.
Strike win Go On.
Chicago. June 6.-The executive
board of the teamsters met today at
the Briggs house and began a confer
ence to discuss means for ending the
to appoint a committee to wait upon
the employers. The hope of the
teamsters is that they may effect in-
dividua1 settlements without reference
to the whole body of State street
merchants. The teamsters believe
that if they can make settlements with
some of the stores the way will be
opened for a general settlement. Pres
ident Shea declared that the strike
would go on He asserted that if any
teamster leaders wanted to make a
"dishonorable settlement" they dared
not show their heads in the open for
the reason, according to Shea, that the
rank and file of the teamsters are
against any surrender.
Charges of Perjury.
Chicago. June 6.-Charges of per-
jury and subornation of perjury
were made by attorneys on both sides
today in the contempt hearing in the
strike injunctions before Judge Kohl

been perjury committed, but after a

DRENNING'S DEFEAT
Lost a Case Before the District Jury
Today in Is Minutes.

City Attorney Togo Dreaming met his
first absolute defeat today in the dis
triet court when the jury returned, af-s
ter Is minutes of retirement, with
verdict that James Sheas1ey was not
guilty of running disorderly house.
Dreaming fought the case valiantly.
He trained all his batteries on the de-
fendant and he bombarded him and his
friends. Togo threw all kinds of legal
bombs into the enemies camp and there
was much testimony to the effect that
Sheasley's residence bore. an unsavory
reputation but the jury did not seem
to think it was unsavory enough to find
verdict of guilty. The rest of the city
cases set for trial today were dismissed
by the plaintiffs
