Magnin & Co. modistes of San Fran

Of a millinery establishment at 963
Broadway. Oakland
The complaint of /. Magnin & Co is
that Cohn ordered a theater gown for
his wife and has refused. to pay for
it Cohn's answer is that he refused
to pay for the gown because it did not
fit his wife. Therefore IT will be for
Justice Flood to solve whether the
skirt hangs in waves or scallops or
like a well regulated skirt. 1t will be
for him TO decide whether the sleeves
are too long or the collar too low To
him will remain the solution whether
the gown produces a short waisted eff

both the plaintiff and defendant make
gowns a business the full technique of

honor.
About a year ago. said Cohn yes

THREE MONTHS ON
WAY TO THIS PORT
Long Journey From Australia
Because of Lack of Direct
Communication

The relation between the four
motherless Hicks children who arrived
here yesterday on the liner Alameda
and the question OF a, ship subsidy may
seem remote. The Hicks children
Aileen, aged 5. Evelyn s, Ernest II
and Ellen Is. probably never heard of
a subsidy, and their father. who has
two years separation, is too full of
his own joy to care much about any
thing else. But as an illustration Of
one of the pleas for subsidy the case
of the Hicks hits the nail squarely on
the head
w j. Hicks came to America after
the death of his wife and being a
plasterer soon made money enough TO
send for his family. At the office In
this city of the Oceanic steamship
company he prepaid the fare of his four
children from Fremantle, Australia,
TO this city and then waited.
THREE MONTHS ON JOURNEY
Once upon time his waiting would
have been ended in month. Now,
however, there is no direct line of pas
senger steamers running between
Australia and the United States and It
took the little Hicks three months TO
make the journey.
They left Fremantle February 26
on the steamer River Ina, which car
ried them to Sydney. At Sydney, after
a weeks waiting they boarded the
British steamer Aorangi, which landed
them in Honolulu just half an hour
after the Alameda had sailed for this
port They could have remained on
board the Aorangi and at Victoria
taken steamer for San Francisco, but
decided to wait for the Alameda. This
meant more than two weeks in Homo
lulu.
LOSS OF LARGE TRADE
Once upon time the trade between
here and the antipodes was an inn
portant item in the sum of this coun-
try's foreign commerce. 1t is winter
here when It is summer in Austral-
asia The products Of both countries
are similar, the common desire to
trade was strong and the prospect of
the trade assuming vast proportions
was never greater than when the
Oceanic steamship company was COM
PEELED to discontinue it's service to the
antipodes and lay up the three big
steamers that had been gradually
building up the trade. The closing of
the line practically severed trade re-
lations between two great continents.
Such business as is still done is car

WHOLE FAMILIES
IN FEDERAL JOBS
Breezy Discussion in Senate in
Regard to the Civil
Service Law IS
Debate Results in Rejecting the
Conference Report on the
Census Bill

WASHINGTON. April 2O.-By an aye
and no vote the senate today rejected
the conference report on the census bill
because of its failure to include the Nc
cumber amendment requiring applicants
for civil service. employment to reside in
the states claimed by them as their
homes.
pIoy in one bureau the wife of a secre-
tary of representative in congress.
the wives of two off1cials of the war
department and the wife of a prominent
official in the treasury department was
the charge made today by Senator Nc
Cumber in criticising the conference re-
port on the census bill.
CITY OF OFFICIAL FAMILIES
Promotion" he said, seems to be
almost wholly for women who have hus-
bands in the departments. This is get
ting to be a city of official families hold
ing positions under the government.
McCumber said the census bill as
agreed to by the conferees did not diff
fer materially from the measure which
was vetoed in the last congress by
President Roosevelt, who claimed that
it contravened the spirit of the civil
sci VICE law lu6 OpSIdliOIl Ol the
law and according to the provisions OF
the census bill as agreed to by the con-
ferees, he said. employees of the govern
ment are not apportioned among the
several states. The fact, he said. is, that
whole families are employed in govern
ment departments credited to states
which the younger members of the fam
lilies have never seen.
URGES ACTUAL RESIDENCE
MeCumber urged the necessity Of his
amendment requiring actual residence
by the applicant from state. which
was stricken out by the conferees-
Senator GaIlinger said it was noto-
rious that whole families are employed
in the government service in this city
and that the law of apportionment is a
mere farce in its application.
Senator Lodge supported McCumber's
amendment and said II was notorious
that there was a grave abuse in the
law apportioning the employees of the
government among the several states.
DEFENDED BIZ La TOILETTE
Defending the conference report. SEN
ator La Toilette expressed the opinion
that the inequality of apportionments
of civil service employees was exag-
gerated. and said that whatever the
1ault might be congress was to blame
Senator Hayburn advocated a limited
tenure of service of 10 years in the de-
partmental service in this city.
Senators Hale and Bailey took the
view that the course OF the senate in
seeking to amend the census bill by
changing general law in relation TO
all apportionments placed that body at
disadvantage inrits dispute with the
house OF representatives. Bailey de-
nounced the civil service law as a
