of the typical bungalow style.
Much very peculiar art has been
perpetrated in the name Of the bunga-
low and It has to account for many
freakish dwellings for which it is
not in any way to blame.
We have never happened to see a
bungalow style office building nor do
we remember Of having heard of one;
still, what is almost as bad, the bun
galow style church is quite a com
mon thing in many of our cities and
suburbs. These are uses never con
templated by the o%riginators of the
bungalow in this country and should
not be charged up against the style.

an artistically designed cottage, and

Simplicity and directness are the
heynotes of this style as illustrated in
the accompanying design. At a cost
no greater than for the plain, unor-
namented cottage with the same ac-

and attractive dwelling is secured.
The cost is estimated at $4,000, and
without doubt in a good many loca-
lions it would not run as much as
that.

Ethel Conrad Made Similar Scene at
Plattsburs Last Fall.
Plattsburg, N. Y. June e.-Ethel
Conrad, who shot w. e. D. Stokes,
figured In a gun play on Charles Mil
Ter, a prominent young merchant of
this city, last September. She had re-
turned to New York after visiting at
the home of James Farley. and on tho
morning Of Sept. 8 reappeared here
and, going to Miller's store, fol
lowed him to the second story, drew O
revolver and told him that unless he
wrote q ~retraction to a letter rejecting
upon her character she would kill him,
When the document was completed
young Miller arose from his chair and,
seeing an opportunity, grappled with
the young lady and finally succeeded
in getting the gun. Miss Conrad then
attempted to throw herself out of q
window, but was prevented by Sheriff
Nash, who had been called in during
the scufie. After gaining possession
Of the gun Miller ran downstairs and,
jumping into an automobile which was
at the door, disappeared.
Miss Conrad was taken to the sher-
ifs office and committed to the
women's department, Miller returned
two days later. but refused to make
any complaint against her and she was
released from custody. She returned

Graham, In the latter's apartment late
Wednesday afternoon. is still in a Sc

sicians announced 1t would be ten days
at the earliest before all danger from
blood poisoning will have passed.
Mr.. Stokes was able to have a long
talk with his counsel and in a mood to
send joking notes to friends. So far
as could be learned Mrs. Stokes has
not visited her husband.
Lillian Graham and Ethel Conrad,
the young women who shot Mr.,
Stokes, were arraigned in the west
side police court on a charge of as
sault with intent to kill and held with
out bail until Monday to await more
definite reports as to Mr.. Stokes CON
dition. They were locked in the court
prison. The three japanese manserv-
ants Of Pat Casey, the vaudeville
booking agent, who grabbed Mr..
Stokes during the fight In the fat, be-
ing under the impression that 1t was
Mr.. Stokes who was doing the shoot
ing, were allowed to go, as there was
no charge against them.
Mr.. Stokes in his version of the af-
fair carried his recollection back to
about a week ago., when, he says, Miss
Graham called at his office in the An
sonia and demanded $500 as the price
of some letters which he had written
her, Mr., Stokes acquaintance with
Miss Graham began four years ago,
when the young woman and her sis
ter, Mrs, John Singleton, formerly of
Los Angeles, Cal, but now living In
Paris, were living at the Ansonia. Mr..
Stokes says that when he told Miss
Graham that she couldn't get a cent
out of him she threatened to kill her
self and that he replied, go as far as
you Ike" He says that Miss Graham
then took q bottle from her pocket
and he grabbed it. 1t proved to be
cologne, He then had her elected
from the building. Mr.. Stokes says he
did not hear from Miss Graham again
until he received a call and was told
he could get the letters If be would
come for them. Just what was In the
letters hasn't been told, but Mr..
Stokes lost no time In getting to the
apartment, His story as to what hap
pened there doesn't differ materially
from the statement made soon after
being shot-that is, that be was or
dered to write out an order or check
for $4,000 and that the shooting be-
gan when he refused.
Judge Olcott, who is retained by Mr..
Stokes, said that he did not believe
the young women had intended to car
ry out the gun play beyond the bluff
ing stage, but were forced to go fur
Their than they intended by the unex-
pected resistance offered by Mr.,
Stokes.
When questioned by Inspector Rus
sell, Miss Graham said that Mr..
Stokes statement that she and Miss
Conrad had tried to force him to sign
q check for $4,000 was absurd. She
said that Stokes was angry because
she had threatened to sue him for de-
flaming her character, Later she said
1t was not her character, but her
mothers that Stokes had injured.
