PONED BECAUSE OF QUEER
TANGLE.

PARIS, Dec. S.-With scores
of jewel collectors anxious to bid
for the handsome stones of the
crown collection of the deposed
sultan, Abdul Aziz, of Morocco,
and Abdul himself greatly con-
cerned as to the safety of his
treasures, which he pawned, a
peculiar tangle has resulted here
following the loss of the pawn
ticket issued by the government
brokers.
An auction, at which the UNI
redeemed royal jewels were to be
sold, was held yesterday. Many
diamond merchants of Paris, Ber-
lin, Amsterdam and London were
present.
When it was discovered that
the Moroccan had lost the ticket,
the judge postponed the sale for
one month.

Health Officer La Casa intends
to start an aggressive campaign
against tuberculosis in this city,
and tonight an ordinance will be
introduced in the council that
will check the spread of the dis
ease.
According to the ordinance, no
books will be allowed to be issued
from any public library to any
person having tuberculosis. The
liberals will be furnished with
the names of all cases in town
and no books will be issued to
them.
Furthermore, it will be made a
misdemeanor for any person hav-
ing the disease to move from a
house without informing the
health authorities SO the a place
can be fumigated.
Other regulations will lalso be
incorporated and an effort will be
made to provide strict regulation
for all suffering from the trouble
with a view to stopping it from

That her husband was in the
habit of coming home very late

which she asks $4,000 from Mrs.

Howard Wilkinson.
The women went on to tell
how her husband had deserted her

Hardened? Certainly he IS.
Otherwise he wouldn't be in the
game. But that heightens in
stead of minimizes the peril. A
veteran takes risks that a tyro
wouldn't dare. And he does It
as matter of course-for the 80
cents an hour he gets.
But the strike. Is it worth
while? Ask Jas. J. Hill, the mag
azine writer-trunk line despot.
After consulting with NJ. A.
Knapp, chairman of the interstate
commerce commission, in the
matter, Hill said:
I'VE are willing to make any
reasonable concessions as 20
working rules and that sort of
thing. What the men want is
more wages. and that THEY
WON'T GET"
And he said it as if he meant
1t.
What That 800 Means.
This general managers COM
mittee early in the strike issued
formal bulletin explaining that
the average wage of the men uu
der the old scale was 800 a
month. 1t was calculated TO
throw public opinion into the bal
anee against the Nrikers. And
1t came nearly doing it. The
switchmen refused to arbitrate.
Their holdout threatened great
milling interests, in turn weigh
Ing heavily against general bust
ness. 1t looked as though the
strikers were really an unreason-
able, hard-headed lot, ruthlessly
overturning commercial interests.
But what the public needed 20
do was only to make a few little
figures. Here they are: Thirty
two cents an hour, 10 hours n
day, six days week. Does that
look like an average of 800 a
month";" Hardly, without a lot
of precious overtime. Sundays
and hours and hours away from
home, when the wife and babies
are expecting you.
Hawley reminded the public
that when the men arbitrated they
nearly always lost, and it was
generally agreed that was true.
So that is the switchmen's side
of 1t.
The men don't want to have to
depend on overtime. The men
want their Sundays at home.
They want to be with their FAM
lilies. They want to rest. Can
you blame them?"
There is their great crime.
They want rest! They want to
walk about a little while-one
day week-without seeing the
lurking death just beyond. They
want to pocket what their paw
envelopes brought and be salts

morning. In one of them he de-
MED the charge that he and the
widow were living together, and
declared that he was waiting for
his wife to secure a divorce so
that he could marry again.
hrs. Wilkinson testified that
her husband was a man of little
means when she married him,
and that she paid about half of
the living expenses with money
which she inherited from an I'M
Gle in England. On the morning
of May IL. 1908, she said, the
husband went to his office as
usual, but never returned. She
learned from the railway Off
cials that he had taken transpor-
tatlon for Portland.
Wilkinson was present in the
court room today, but took no
part in the proceedings. He will
probably be witness against his
former wife. She secured a di-
vorce from him in November,
1908, on the grounds of desertion.
