JONES MUST SERVE
TERM IN CITY JAIL
Supreme Court Declines 10 Inter-
fere With Sentence Imposed
by The Jury.
HEAVY FINE ALSO 70 Be PAD
Six Months In Prison and Fine OF
Five Hundred Dollars stare Former
Policeman in the Face. and Final
Decision Has Been Rendered.

T. T. Jones. who was convicted In
the Corporation Court several months
ago of committing assault and bat
terry upon l4-year-old Esther BlicK
and sentenced to pay fine OF 5000
and serve six months in jail. was
refused q writ of error by the State
Supreme Court of Appeals. situng at
Richmond yesterday. This closes a
case which has attracted great deal
of attention locally Jones, who was
released on bail pending the resui,
of his appeal, will be taken into GUS
tody to serve his sentence as soon
as the local authorities are officially
notified Of the action of the Supreme
Court
This case attracted especial atten-
ton because Jones was for number
of years a member of the police force.
and has figured prominently in the
work of the local Anti-Saloon League.
He was arrested first on warrant
charging him with attempting TO
crimlnally assault the little hiick girl.
The child had known Jones pracu-
cally all Of her life, and had gone 10
see his invalid wife at the time OF
the alleged assault
The grand jury failed to return q
true bill in the case. and sent II TO
the police court for trial. Justice
Brown found Jones guilty OF assault
and battery and imposed q sentence,
but Commonwealth Attorney Berke-
ley again carried the case before the
grand Jury Eventually a true bill
was returned. and Jones went on
trial before jury in the Corporation
Court, charged with attempted crim,-
nal assault. one jury failed to agree.
but In the next trial Jones was found
guilty of assault and battery, mis-
demeanor, and fined $500 and given
six months in Jail.
Mr.. II. NJ. Lett, counsel for Jones.
moved to set aside the verdict on
the ground that II was contrary to
law and the evidence, and when the
motion was overruled by Judge Bar
ham. he took the case to the Court of
Appeals.
At the time of Jones arrest there
was considerable excitement In the
East End neighborhood In which botn
the Jones and Blick families live. IL
was reported soon after the issuance
of the warrant became known that
the accused would be lynched il a
crowd of citizens that assembled to
discuss the case could catch HIM.

BRINGS OUT LUSTER OF HAIR.
Best Color That Can Be Worn by the
Woman Whose Crown Of Glory
Is White.

The silver-haired woman makes a
mistake in wearing black in her hair
under the impression that 1t will bring
out the color. The contrast Is too
startling, and black deadens the lus-
ter. White deadens the silver tones
and is apt to give the hair greenish
hue.
The most becoming one that can be
used is silver, though there are GER
tain shades of turquoise blue that are
lovely with it.
Fer daytime or informal wear bows
or fillets of silver gauze are charming,
while for evening a big silver flower
or wreaths and garlands In silver oak
leaves or narrow silver bands will
give the silver-haired woman a touch
of distinction that no other coloring
can. a

It was pointed out by an officer of the order. the injunction would be speed- fly Dissolved when 1t was shown in court that the vote to pay MT. Colwen a 2.5c0 salary was shown to have been legally passed by the order at its na- tiona1 convention.
 One member said that MT. ColweIl had agreed to retire from the race for reelection as supreme secretary, upon agreement that he should be elected historian; that the salary of historian and that of supreme secretary was a difference of only $500. and very likely MT. Co1wen would be perfectly willing to retire from the more active duties to the lesser ones, after so long a ser vice. He also said he did not believe the membership in the United States would oppose the salary of a historian, as it would amount to a mere bagatelle per member and the honor was de- served one for one of the charter mem bers, and one who had given the best years of his life to the order. It was the general belief that when the dele gates returned from the national con vention and were able to explain the action to the subordinate councils, the action would be approved. r

It is generally thought that, even should the office of historian thus created be one not absolutely necessary, the honor and the salary of g, 800 connected with it is an honor to the veteran national of ficer of the order which in view of his long and devoted service is a well de- served one.
 A protest was made by a New Haven matter ought to be taken up and an injunction against the payment begun.

DESERT ROMANCE ENDS
AT HYMEN'S ALTAR

Los Angeles, Cal.--After a court
ship Of two years, begun on the des-
ert, Buel A. Funk, cowboy and artist,
and Miss Helen Muir, daughter OF
John Muir, the noted naturalist, au-
thor and geologist, were married in
Los Angeles today by Rev. J. Q. A.
Henry, in the presence of only the
married sister Of the bride. The we'd
ding plans had been kept secret from
even the most intimate friends.
Two years ago Miss Muir's health
compelled her to leave school. She
went home to her fathers ranch at
Martinez, but the damp air did not
agree with her. After a violent attack
OF pneumonia, from which she slowly
recuperated, the attending physicians
advised her father to send her to Arl-
zona, which ne did. Later she left
Arizona and went to Daggett.
There she met her future husband.
AS Miss Muir gained strength she took
to horseback riding and in this way
came much in contact with Mr.. Funk
whose work on his fathers ranch car
ried him constantly in the saddle.
