ARGUMENTS BEGIN.
Attorneys in Yeager- Altman Contest
Heard in Senate.

Under special orders, the senate this
afternoon listened to arguments OF
counsel in the Yeager-Aikman contest
case, on the Stavely resolution Major
Harvey appeared as attorney for N. A
Yeager, and John Dawson, private sec
rotary to the governor, represented
Judge Altman.
Major Harvey spoke of the statutory
test cases. He insisted that Mr. Yeag-
er has proceeded according to the law.
He also argued that 1t was not proper
for the senate to decide before it had
heard or considered testimony or al
legations. that the allegations were not
sufficiently explicit for the contestee to
answer. What would you think of a
court" he asked that would take up
a case before the defendant has APP
peared, and declare that the allega-
tions were not specific enough to give
the defendant opportunity to answer?''
He cited decisions of various courts
relative to nature - of testimony and
charges necessary in election contests.
charged errors in counting of ballots
and that the statement fled by Mr.
Yeager is all that is necessary as the
statement of contest refers to errors in
counting.
Mr. Dawson will follow with an argu-
ment opposing the propositions adj
vanced by Major Harvey.

Chasing a Maynard Hat.


It's an i'll wind that blows nobody
good and today's exaggerated breeze
was the means of a big block of fun for
some grown up children and passersby
along Kansas avenue at the noon hour
today.
About every ten minutes a man, were
he fat or lean, just so he were kindly
hearted and mindful of his fellow men
could be seen to throw on the high
speed and pursue a wind blown fedora,
starting at the Central National bank
on the corner of Seventh street and
run down the slippery Seventh to the
alley where the wind was broken by
the buildings and the runaway hat
captured and returned to the supposed
owner.
A real accident started the fun and
then the joke suggested itself and an
old hat was thrown into the wind
from the west side of Kansas avenue
and a kind fat man on the other side
saw it coming and chased it down
Seventh until it stopped, when he re-
turned it to the supposed owner, who
with the bystanders had enjoyed the
fun behind his back. After effus1Ve
thanks from the unfortunate hatlesS
man the brave rescuer went his way
down the street happy with the thought
of doing a kindness and the hat was
thrown as a bait for another chase.
For an hour the bait was bitten to the
great joy of those who were 'son."
1t was an awful thing to do to the
benevolently disposed passers hurrylng
to dinner, but the sport was worth the
sting of conscience.

PAPERS 100 YEARS OLD
FOUND IN KHOTAN RUIN
Indian and Chinese Characters
Inscribed by Writers

DR.. Nj. Aurel Stein, in a lecture be-
fore the Royal Asiatic society, de-
scribed his recent explorations in west
ern China and eastern Turkestan. He
said that in the sandy desert northeast
of Khotan the first ruin cleared was a
relatively small dwelling, covered with
three or four feet of sand In one room
he came across specimen after speci-
men of ancient records and correspond
ence in the Indian language, and script,
probably left behind LOO years ago
as waste paper by an official.
In another place he found seven feet
below the surface curious sweepings
of all sorts-rags of silk cotton and
embroidery, fragments of bone, lac
quer ware and dozen small tablets in
scribed in Chinese characters of an ex-
quisite penmanship. These tablets
were apparently forwarding notes of
consignments. He further discovered
a small heap of corn in perfect preser-
walton and the mummified bodies of
two mice.
While clearing the refuse from a
group of ruins he made a particularly
rich haul of ancient documents. The
documents, some of them three feet
long, suggested that great official
had lived there. A rectangular docu-
ment proved to have the seal of the
envelope unbroken. Inside were close
ments which had been kept sealed so
that in cage of need stheir validity
might be established. = Philadelphia

THE SMART SET

- HE call of the country seems
insistent these days and any
number of people are making
plans to leave for as long stay
as fancy may dictate. Those who have
country homes are rejoicing in the
possession and others are securing
those picturesque bungalows that are a
joy in the summer and forgotten In
the winter.
Captain and Mrs. Ferguson have
just purchased new home in Bur
nngame opposite the Newhall house and
the young people of the army set and
many of those from town, also, will
enjoy this retreat at different times
during the season.
The Wellers are going out of town
shortly and will take their attractive
daughter, Miss Anna Weller, to Shasta,
in accordance with a custom of sew
eral years.
Among those who are leaving for the
south to be gone during the summer
are Miss Ethel ohorb and her sisters.
Mrs. James King Steele and Mrs. J. A
Murtagh. The latter has been visiting
at the Shorb home for several weeks
now and has been having a happy
time among her old friends.
Another visitor in town for the early
season is Mrs. ]. Downey Harvey, who
is passing several days as the guest
Of Mrs. j. Athearn Folger. but will
take up her residence with Mrs. Eleanor
Martin in a few days, where she will
remain for the rest of her visit.
A change of plans for the wedding of
Miss Bessie Louise Dichman and Lieu
tenant Thurman Harrison Bane. U. s.
A., fixes that interesting event for
Saturday afternoon, May 90. The cere-
mony will not be ATTENDED with the
brilliant detail that had been planned
originally for wedding in the fall.
The mother of the bride elect has
been called abroad upon a business
trip and will be detained for an indefi-
mite time, which is one of the reasons
mony, and Lieutenant Bane has been
ordered to the Philippines, which is an
other important reason for the change
in the schedule.
The Wedding will take place at the
home Of the brides aunt, Mrs. George
]. Bucknall and the fact that Mrs.
Bucknall is in mourning will necessi-
tate quiet ceremony without ostenta-
ton of any sort.
The service will be read by the Rev
A. c. Bane. father of the bridegroom.
and the bride will be attended by her
cousin. Miss Louise Bryant and by
Miss Ethel Bane. The best man will
be Lieutenant Harry Pfiel. U. S. A.,
classmate of Lieutenant Bane.
There will be an informal reception
at the Bucknall home in Franklin street
after the ceremony and the honeymoon
trip of the couple will take them to a
temporary residence at the. Sequoia
national park. where Lieutenant Bane
is stationed at present. In the fall they
will sail for the Philippines.
The Misses Boericke leave today for
