STOLE TOYS
F0T BABIES

NEW YORK, Dec. ga Christ
mas shopping tragedy developed in
police court here when Mrs. Kate
Smith was arraigned for stealing
toys in department store.
The woman told a fearful story
which moved judge and spectators,
She said her husband had given
her $40 to buy toys for their four
children, all he could afford.
When she reached the shopping
district she was dismayed to find
that her pocket had been picked
and the money stolen.
Rather than disappoint the chill
dren of Christmas joys she decided
to turn thief.
The woman's story was found to
be true, and Mrs. Smith was dis.
charged, the department store
officials withdrawing the charge af.
ter the Judge and a number of per.
sons in court had offered to pay
for the stolen goods.

MAYBE ITS ON
THE WAY

The advisory initiative and refer
endum ordinance now before the
city council seems to be doomed
to hard shedding. 1t was referred
to the corporation counsel some
time ago and in the absence of
Mr.. Geraghty was turned over to
his assistant, Alex Winston. Mr.
Winston has been digesting the or
dinance for several weeks past.
Asked today when he would be
ready to report to the council Mr..
Winston said he expected to do so,
but did not know when. The same
ordinance as the one before the
city officials is now in force in sew
eral large cities of the country,
notably Detroit, Grand Rapids, Tor
onto and Buffalo.
The principal opposition to the
ordinance comes from the brewer
les and certain corporations, and
it follows that the "tenderloin" is
also lined up against the law.
The ordinance has accomplished
something, referendum advocates
argue, even though it never be-
comes a law. They claim it has
shown the present democratic city
government to be opposed to the
democratic state platform and
dominated by the enemies of popu-
lar government.

PTTSbURG TO MUZNE
MILLIONAIRE SCANDALS

PITTSBURG, Dec. 26.-Believing
that Pittsburg scandals are running
the city commercially, the Pitts
burg chamber of commerce, whose
membership represents about a bill
lion dollars of capital, has launched
a crusade with the intent of keep
ing future scandal out of the col
umns of the nswpapers of the
country.
Appeal has already been made to
the publishers of Pittsburg news.

WOULD SELL
SCHOOL HOUSE

1t is likely that the school board
will sell the Franklin school as
soon as circumstances will permit.
The school is opposite the North
ern Pacific round house, and since
the building of the Spokane & In
land is surrounded by tracks. The
building is old and out of date and
should be replaced by a modern
structure in a better location.
Zach Stewart, new member of
the board, said recently that he
was in favor of disposing of the
building and grounds whenever
they could be sold to advantage
and the erection of new modern
building at some place better suit
ed for school purposes.

HATED MAN ON EARTH

The general idea regarding a Rus
sian grand duke is that he is an
idle, tyrannical autocrat, with no
object in life save the cruel OPP
preston of the Russian lower or
ders, and the maintenance of him
self in supreme power only second
to that enjoyed by the car himself.
To a certain extent this estimate Of
a grand duke Is correct, but when
we consider their environment and
the narrow teachings Of their
class, we find that they are not so
bad as we are accustomed to re-
gard them.
From the talk one hears of them
there might be thousands of Rus
sian grand dukes, whereas, as a
matter of fact, at the present time
there are only 10.
The grand dukes consist of the
male relatives CT the car, and in
clude his brother, four uncles, four
first cousins and 10 second cousins.
All of the cars male relations af-
ter that are merely princes, with
the prefex of "highness." Grand
dukes have imperial highness."
There are actually 80 male rela-
tions of the car all told, excluding
his infant son, the baby czarewitch.
Every one of these SO is a member
of the imperial house, and each
one receives from the day of his
birth an income of 100000 a year
from the national exchequer.
Besides this, they own between
them about $4,000 square miles of
land, which means, roughly, for
tieth of the territory of Russia in
Europe. They also possess 1926 pal
aces and castles and they give en-
ployment to about 10000 servants.
The grand dukes have many priv
ileges enjoyed by no one else. They
are free from arrest. They cannot
be sued in a court of law or COM
PEELED to be a witness, and need not
make oath to any statement, their
signature giving it verify.
Their social position is second
only to that of the car, and equal
to that of the monarchs of other
countries. Everyone must stop and
salute them in the street, not NOV
ing on until they are 10 PAGES
away.
Yet their bed is not all roses.
They can do nothing without per-
mission from the car. They can

CHRISTMAS At
HOSPITALS

At Sacred Heart rospital yester-
day the 105 patients, suffering al

At St. Luke's hospital a spirit
