A WOMAN'S PRIVILEGE

Sibyl Powers crumpled the letter in
gesture of agony; her eyes were
blurred with tears; her full red lips
compressed into a straight line. 1t
was not hesitation or regret that her
plans must be altered, but the shock
caused BY the contents Of the letter
that had so upset her. The corres-
pendent had simply stated facts, offer
ing neither sympathy nor advice. She
could hardly expect either from Rich
ard Rice after their last interview
However, no question of duty entered
her mind now. Her stepmother had
not written. Sibyl did not question
that; intuitively she understood and
felt for that proud spirit, crushed by
this last straw. Fresh tears filled her
eyes as the mental picture of that poor.

1t ever had, and the hand slipped slyIy

feeling of remorse that overwhelmed
her. She did not grope about in her
mind for excuses to justify herself in
her own eyes or try 20 modify in the
least her own self-accusation To her
1t was as plain as though she had been
found guilty by jury-she was indi-

To anyone but Sibyl that line of
guilt would have been indeed hard to

words of fire, in fact, it seemed then
as if they were of fire and being

as to whether or not the individual is

We have just received a letter from

TO an inquiry made by Secretary
Spooner concerning the law requiring
the ten per cent of voters on the Ii

The attorney general saws: II am NOT
positive, but think the general assem-
bly, voted to have the laws generally go
INTO effect the first Of October. As
Stunning that to be so that act would
not be in effect until Oct. LIST. but
from then. and after that it would be
SO that when the annual town meet
lngs were held in October to vote on
the license question that act would be
IN effect. but when the meetings were
warned, the act would not have gone
INTO enect. This would raise a rather
technical, legal question whether the
preliminaries leading up to the vote
taken at the town meeting in October
on the license question was under the
1903 act or the previous acts amended
by 1t. To be perfectly safe, l should
advise getting the petition of not less

the defense in the trial of Calhoun is
depending largely upon their ability to
impeach the prosecutions witnesses
was made evident today when Daniel
G. Coleman, a member of the boodling
board of supervisors. replaced Jim
Gallagher upon the stand.
Heney ques toned him regarding the
alleged conversation with Gallagher,
during which the granting of the Park
side franchise was discussed. He said
he did not recall the nversation. At
torney Rogers for the defense leaped
to his feet and introduced a transcript
of evidence of the first Ruef trial,
claiming that the witness testimony
on that occasion was contradictory to
the answer returned to Heney's ques-
ton. He demanded that Coleman be
impeached Heney objected and Rog-
ers then declared the defense would
prove that a conspiracy to hold up the
defendant existed.
The court sustained Heney's OBJ
lection. stating that the matter would
be gone into fully later.
