COURTROOM FACES
SELDOM CHANGE
Old Soldiers and Budding Law
yers Are Often Among
the Spectators

If you would study faces drop into
a courtroom, preferably in the munich
pal court. for. say, an hour day for a
week. You will be Surprised. Each day
You enter a courtroom which you have
visited before you will see practically
the same faces among the lockers on
and listeners; faces the expressions on
which apparently have not altered in
line since last you saw them
The first time you enter a given
courtroom you will see the long. thin
man, the short, thick one. the old SOL
aler. the shabbily dressed man and a
dozen others, says the Chicago Daily
News. Their faces are different degrees
or attention. Some are all absorbed in
the-proeeedfngs, others only mildly in
terested, while one or two risk being
called for contempt of court by reading
the alleged funny pictures in news
papers ofrthe day before. Perhaps one
will be dozing. The next time you
chance to enter that courtroom IL is
dollar to doughnuts that eight out OF
ten of those same persons will be there.
perhaps in the same seats.
Who are they?" you ask
That is the question. Many of them
are old soldiers. men without families
and whose pension from the govern
meht is barely enough to keep them in
food and clothing. During the day.
especially in winter, the court furnishes
a warm and not altogether uninterest-
ing place to stay.
Then again. some of the persons are
law students or young lawyers who
have just passed the bar examinations.
They usually pick case which an able
attorney is handling and they give at
tention to every detail in the proceed
ings. They are not the ones who read
the papers or who sleep in the court
room, neither are they so likely to be
found in the same courtroom daily un-
less the case be one of Importance.
But the persons of the lounger class
have their favorite courtroom. Whether
IL is because they like the Judge the
bailif or the lighting arrangements or
the view from the courtroom is a mat
ter of conjecture. At any rate they are
daily visitors and in most cases they
are as faithful as the judge as far as
punctual attendance is concerned. These
are the persons whose comment is

PETALUA1A, Oct. 25.-"I have been
q victim of circumstances" said DR..
f. H. Phillips today when asked If he
would accept place on the democratic
ticket for the office of assemblyman
from the thirteenth district Phillips
aspired to the same position on the re-
publican ticket. but was defeated by
James W. Hamilton at the August pri-
mary election.
Phillips received enough votes on the
democratic ticket to qualify him to run
with that party If he desired to do so.
After persuasion by his friends and
criticism from his opponents, Phillips
sent a request to the democratic cen
tral committee and also to County
Clerk Fred L. Wright of Sonoma county
asking that his name be left off the
democratic ticket.
Through some technicality Secretary
of State Curry will not accept his with
drawal and it appears that Doctor
Phillips will be obliged to run for the
office. After once declining, the doctor
does not feel disposed to make cam
paign in face of the fact that his op-
ponent has put in a long period Of cam
paign work.
The result is being eagerly discussed,
as it is held that, not having filed his
election expenses, Phillips is not ELI
gible.

To Contest for Larger Share of
100000 Estate

OAKLAND, Oct. 25.-Another fight
IN the family of the late Simon H
Dikeman, which has already survived
two hard fought legal contests, will
be instituted, the fortune of 100000
left by the late Anna NJ. Dikeman. his
widow, being the bone of contention.
Waldo Dikeman, son, of Gold HILL.
Ore. intends to try TO break his
mothers will, which gives him 500
and divides the rest of the estate among
James Dikeman, another son. and two
other children who are inmates Of an
insane asylum.
Two of Mrs. Dikeman's wills were
filed for probate today. They are iden-
tical in effect, but one was made in
1902 and the other few days before
her death.
Waldo Dikemans contest will be
based on the theory that his mother
was of unsound mind when she made
her will.
