COFFEY CHARGED
WITH PREJUDICE
Affidavits Filed to Have Case
Against California Safe De-
posit Company Transferred
Declare Judge Is Interested in
Proceedings by Having Coin
in Defunct Bank

Charges of unfairness. partialitv
and prejudice are made against Su-
perior Judge J. V. Coffey in affidayits
filed yesterday with the county clerk
by Attorney Charles c. Boynton. Attor-
ney o. c. Wilson and Sam Solomon.
manager of Salomon & Estes, real es-
tate dealers, in support of a motion
judge on Wednesday next to have the
case of the insolvent California safe
deposit and trust company transferred
to another department of the court.
1t is alleged in the affidavits that
Judge Coffey is prejudiced because his
two nephews. jeremiah v, Corey and
Edward l. Coffey, are creditors of the
cause there is reason to believe the
Judge himself was a depositor of the
institution at the time it failed. In
support of this latter allegation the
statement is made by o. c. Wilson that
on date about the middle of July,
1908. after Edward ]. LIE Breton, the
receiver, had stated the bank would
not pay more than 20 cents on the
dollar. Judge Coffey said: My own
change has been absorbed in this Cali
fornia safe deposit and trust company
failure, but 1 am much gratified to
know that the receiver thinks it will
pay at least 20 cents on the dollar
IN OrQSf TO ascertain WHSI0eT or not
the Judge was a depositor Boynton as
serts that along with Wilson he inter-
viewed De Layeaga and Magee, attor-
neys for the receiver, and asked if the
Judge was a depositor. They replied
they had no personal knowledge of any
claim against the bank by the judge.
They then called upon Jeremiah V.
Coffey, who told them he was certain
the judge was not depositor or cred
itor of the bank, but Jeremiah V. Coffey
and his brother Edward l. Coffey were
creditors for a sum in excess of $1,000.
Next a demand was made upon LIE Bre-
ton that he permit the inspection of
the records and items of any account
of Judge Coffey. lie Breton denied
them. permission to make any such in
spection without the written authori-
zation of the judge. They We're also
denied permission to inspect the rec
ords of the account of jeremiah V.
Coffey and Edward l. Coffey without
authorization from the judge.
Salomon in his affidavit alleges that
it was impossible to obtain a fair and
impartial hearing of the petition of
Salomon & Estes for permission to sue
the receiver for s653, money deposited
| in the Fillmore street branch half an
| hour after the main office of the bank
suspended payment. The judge denied
this petition some time ago.
The grounds of the petition of trans
| fer as formally set out are: (l) That
Judge Coffey is interested in the pro-
ceedings; (2) that he is related to GER
| tain parties in the action within the
| third degree of consanguinity; (3) that
he is a party to the proceeding himself,
and (4) that Solomon & Estes can not
get a fair and impartial hearing be-
cause OF the bias of the judge.

For the sStout Woman

L OF the oSlVut UUhldu
While the stout woman has more
difficulties TO overcome in dressing
than her slender sister. there are
few points, which, if borne in mind,
will render the proposition much
easier.
Perpendicular lines should be strict
ly adhered to, and horizontal lines ia
booed.
Extremes, whether of style. cut or
color, should be carefully avoided.
Plaids are always barred, even
small checks; fluffy trimmings like
wise
A tightly fitted gown only accentu-
ates size; an easy fit disguises it
Fortunately the vogue of the white
waist and dark skirt is passing. 1t was
never the friend of the stout woman.
as it cuts the figure too decidedly.
The new waists may be of light weight
silk to which the tailor finish may be
applied.
The belt should always match either
the skirt or the waist, and should
never be wide.
To sew buttons on so they do not
drag is a problem that often vexes
the amateur needle woman. good
way is TO draw the waist together
at the top. bottom and center with
pin. and then catch UP few threads
of the material through each but
tonhole, taking two or three stitches
in the flap beneath the buttonhole and
carrying the thread from one TO the
other, cutting threads between the but
tonholes when completed. The but
tons can then be sewn on the spots
marked by the stitches.

Something About Fish

Fish is cooked sufficiently when the
flesh separates easily from the bones
that is when the coagulation of the
nitrogenOus juices has been carried
far enough, and the fibers, under proper
conditions of moisture, are reduced
to a gelatinous consistency. Since the
hbers of all varieties of fish are short,
the flesh is always tender. The yarie-
ties that are deficient in fat are easily
digested. The principal point to which
attention should be given is the coagu-
lation of the nitrogenous juices with
the least possible loss.
Any fish that presents a thin, fiat
appearance when dressed, as maekerel
or bass, or a fish that can be cut
in slices, as halibut or salmon. may be
broiled- Preference should be given
TO an oily fish, as dry fish can not
afford to lose any of it's juices.

CoIOrs and Their Effects

While red is a favorite color for
little girls dresses and coats, teach
ers. whose work enables them to
speak with authority. say that its ef-
feet is harmful, the color creating
nervousness and excitement.
Even grown people, while they do
not perhaps realize it. are said to be
affected TO great degree by colors,
which may be tabulated in the follow
ing order: Red, excitement and an
ger; yellow, mischief and revenge;
blue. pIacidity; green, happiness; black,
misery and evil; white, activity.
Blue and green are better colors for
children than red. Blue is peaceful
and promotes a feeling of happiness,
an antipathy to argument, and a de-
sire not to be disturbed. Green is a
joyful color, having many of the ef-
fects of blue. with the additional ef-
fects of the red or yellow rays which
help TO form the green. White is the
color Of activity. containing all the
other rays.
