FACES The JAIL
Mrs. MounDay Must Answer
Receivers Questions.
Cited by Court to Appear or Be
in Contempt.

Because she refused to answer ques-
tions whe n subpoenaed before Jno. Mar
shall receiver for the American Sugar
Manufacturing and Refining compan-
les and the affairs of the MounDays,
Mrs. L. D. w. MounDay today faced
a prospect of a contempt order from
the Shawnee county district court. The
request for a contempt order will be
made to Judge A. w. Dana sometime
today. attorneys for the state asserted
after the hearing before the receiver.
A abpoena was issued 10Th for Don
A. MounDay and L. D. W. MounDay,
his wife, commanding them to appear
before Receiver Marshall and answer
questions as to the assets of the sugar
company and the land department with
which they We're connected. MounDay
pleaded that he was sick and unable
to appear and a physicians certificate
was sent to the receiver in support of
MounDay's excuse Mrs, Mounday ap-
peared.
Be fore the receiver. Mrs. MounDay
answered two questions. Then she
elected to stand on her constitutional
rights.
The woman admitted that her name
was Mrs. L. D. w. MounDay and that
she is a resident of Topeka, Shawnee
cornty Kan. Further deponent say
eth not.
And right there the inquiry ended,
Asked about assets and properties
which may or may not be in the
possession of herself or husband, Mrs.
MounDay advised the receiver that she
is a defendant in a criminal action
brought by the government and that
she did not wish to incriminate herself
by any statements which she might
make at this time and for that reason
elected to stand on her constitutional
privileges There was nothing for the
receiver to do but to call the hearing
adjourned.
But the receiver was appointed by
the Shawnee county district court with
full power and authority to make in
quirieS and to take testimony regard
ing the assets of the MounDayS and
their companies. SO the attorneys for
the state in the sugar case will seek
further relief at the hands of Judge
Dana
There is nothing to do but to ask
for a contempt order from the court,
said Judge Doster in commenting on
the action of Mrs. MOunDay in refus-
ing to testify.
With the issuance of this order, Mrs.
MounDay can then be brought into
court and the questions which she re-
fused to answer again propounded.
Further refusal to testify, subjects
Mrs MounDay to the mercy of the
court-and the court has the power
to levy a fine or send the woman to

DEFENSE SET UP
Motive Will Be the Feature in
Diggs' Plea.
The Case Has Been Adjourned
Until Tuesday.

| San Francisco Aug. 16.-The closing
| of the prosecution in the government
| case against Maury I. Diggs has open
i ed the way for the defendant to prove
his innocense.
He does not propose to deny the facts
or any of them that are material He
admits that he and Drew Caminetti
took Marsha Warrington and Lola
Norris on joy rides, gave them drinks,
carried them away from Sachamento to
San Francisco, San Jose, Stockton and
other places, and fed with them over
the state Lorder to Reno and into the
clutches of the law.
Bat he intends to prove that in all
this he did not violate the Mann act
because the purpose was not to induce
the young women to become the mis-
tress and concubine of himself and
Caminetti, which is the language of the
Indictment
He contends that it was merely the
purpose to leave Sacramento-not to
leave the state. All four We're afraid
of exposure, arrest and scandal, and
all fed together without any induce
ment on the part of the two men.
1t is proposed to stand on the tech
nical ground of purpose and induce
ment' and behind this to show that
there were no subterfuges used in get
ting the girls to flee, but that there
really was reason to fear arrest and
exposure-or least, Diggs and Cam
inetti had honestly thought there was
such danger
The event of the opening of the case
for the defense was the temperance
in the court room of the wives of Diggs
and Caminetti and the little girl of the
former. Between Diggs and his wife
and child there was much show of af-
fection
The general comment of spectators
who noticed the coming of Mrs. Diggs
to her husbands side was:
How did he ever leave such a
woman?'
For in pulchritude she decidedly out
matched Miss Warrington, and her
manner was that of a devoted wife.
Attired in a well fitting suit of gray
with pink collar, a large hat with
sweeping plume upon her head. she
made a pleasing picture in the dim
court room.
The little daughter in white and blue
and pink. divided her time between her
mother and Mrs Caminetti, and the
two wives who have suffered by reason
of their husbands escapades, had evil
IDENTIFY drawn together in their trouble
for they kissed each other tenderly
and sat for a time with clasped hands.
ne lAIOlneES OF the TWO men IN
case also appeared in attendance for
the first time and several women rela-
tives accompanied them.
The first witness for the defense. NJ.
H. Dipenbrook, a man of theatres and
saloons; p. ]. O'Brien. saloonkeeper
and d. T. Leitch, chauffeur, merely
told how Digs had reason to fear the
wrath of his father and an uncle of
Miss Warrington. Alfred Putnun1,
reporter. told of warning Miss Warning
ton te keep away from Diggs at the
request of Mrs. Diggs and her sister
Then l. P. Diggs, father of the de-
fendant. told how he had threatened
to have the quartette arrested and
punished. and how he had labored to
reform his son.
The case then went over until next
Tuesday.

ONE CENT POSTAGE BILL

A new one cent letter postage bill
has been introduced In tho United
states Senate by Senator Burton
and by Rep. John w. Weeks in the
House, and active steps are being
taken to promote its passage. The
bill provides for a one cent rate by
July LIST Of this year.
without doubt the time has arriv-
cd when tho PEOPLE of the United
States are entitled to one cent letter
postage" declared Sen. Burton. THE
present two cent rate has been in ex-
istence since 1888. and no important
changes have been made since that
date, despite the fact that the popula-
ton Of the country has increased i'm
mengely, and there has been an as
tonishing increase In the amount of
letter communication between our peo
pie.
The most important reason why
citizens OF tho United States are en-
titled to one cent letter postage is
tho fact that although We are charg-
ed two cents each for the carriage of
letters. it actually costs only about
cent apiece for the government TO
handle them. This results in the ac-
emulation of a surplus of over s62,-
100000 each year on first class letter
mail.
The postofficc department was
never intended to be other than self
supporting. The government is en-
titled to sufficient compensation for
the actual cost involved in carrying
first class postage, but, any rate which
rolls up so enormous a surplus. rs
nothing less than a tax upon the user
of postage stamps thruout this great
country.

HOW Old YOU SPEND the LAST
SIXTY Minutes?

In a little article entitled sixty
Minutes Of Salary" in the January
American Magazine, William John
ston says:
"D,d you ever reduce your income
to hours? You make, say, $4,000 a
year, or fifty dollars a week. You
are at your desk eight hours day
and four on Saturdays. For each Of
the forty-four hours you receive one
dollar and thirteen cents.
do you earn III
IF you are honest with yourself
you will have to admit that you do
uot-at least not every hour. Just
for the fun Of It keep tab some day.
AS you go out of the office at noon
ask yourself what you have done in
the last four hours. More than like

morning. How much did you spend

to find how much time you have
frittered away. You will be glad
that your employer is not looking
over your shoulder. Perhaps you
will even understand why he does
not raise your salary.
Watch men who are getting ahead
in the world, men who are working
their way up OIL who are in business
for themselves. You'll find most Of
them working sixty-one minutes TO
the hour.
ITO attain success a man doesn't
have to work twenty-four hours
day. II he works eight hours Of six
ty minutes each he can do it. Relax
alton and play and a proper amount
of sleep are as essential to success
as work Is. It's the man who works
when he works and plays when he
plays who gets the most out of life.
BY the way. how did you spend
the last sixty minutes? Let's hope
1t was on something worth while"
