A pronoun cannot properly refer to
an adjaotive, as in the sentences:
This is a rose year. Never have they
grown more luxuriantiy.' Roses

NORRIS GIRL Tells
Of HER M|sD0|NCs
coRRoBoRATES EVIDENCE OF
MARSHA WARRINGTON IN
DlGos TRIAL.

San Francisco, Cal, Aug 15.--Lola
Norris who followed Marsha Warning
ton to the stand yesterday in the trial
of Maury I. Digs. charged with viola
tion OF the Mann white slave act, was
the first witness called this morning.
She resumed the re-telling Of the story
that was related with such a mass OF
detail by her companion in trouble and
sorority sister.
Only In the manner of its delivery
did tie testimony OF Lola Norris differ
from that Of the other girl. Her an
gwers were sharper, more spirited
than those Of her companion. She
was able to supplement nothing to
the narrative of the Warrington girl.
She could only confirm statements and
descriptions Of events already des-
cribed. Step by step she went over
the flight to Reno she and Marshs
Warrington had made with Diggs and
Caminetti. When her cross examine
ton began she retained her com.
posure, answering the searching ques
tions Of the defense evenly and With
no show Of hesitation Throughout
she clung to her original story.
W In accordance with the announca-
nent OF Judge Van Fleet the case was
adjourned at the close OF the after
noon hearing until next Tuesday morn.
Ing. It is probable the defense will
begin the presentation Of its case.
