for women who do not have maids OF

widely used for Sunday night suppers

four at night.
With a coffee percolator and a chatting

a permanent condition.

for conspiring to bribe, insists that he
is able to perform his duties and that
his office cannot be declared vacant
Legal minds are wrestling with the
problem of just how the phraseology
of the charter should be interpreted.
Ordinary prisoners in Jail are not
allowed to make their cells business
Offices, and in the eyes of thu law
Mayor White should have no more
rights than any other man who is con-
victed of crime and sentenced. 1T

work as any other prisoner and no
more privileges. Then he will be I'M
