PAPERS Charged With
"GARBLING" REPORTS
Chairman johnson, of House District
Committee, Starts Fight on
Local Journals.
NAME WRONG A GRIEVANCE

A reiteration of his charge that WASH
ington newspapers. because of their SUBJ
serviency 10 the so-caIled real estate
ring, are publishing gsrbled reports of
the investigation being conducted by the
House District Committee into real es-
tate assessment methods here, was
voiced by Chairman Johnson yesterday.
Mr.. johnson did not make his charge
specific, beyond protesting against the
use of parts Of a lengthy statements
prepared by Assistant Assessor Kalbfus
before the latter went on the stand We'd
nesday. and distributed by him to the
various newspapers in expectation Of its
being admitted as a part of the record.
The committee refused to permit Mr.
kalbfus' statement to go into the record
so its author read such parts of 1t as he
could work into his answers to questions
aimed at him by the committee.
As another evidence Of ''garbling" by
the local press. the chairman cited the
case of an afternoon newspaper which
had attributed to him a question asked
by another member of the committee.
1t was not suggested to the chairman
that, so far as can be ascertained, moth
ing of sufficient Importance one way or
smother to call for ''garbling' has been
brought out to date, unless the fact that
some papers have refrained from devot-
ing their space to expressions of views
on how to assess metropolitan city on
theories which have been found prac-
ticable in cross-road townships and rural
municipalities. can successfully be desig-
mated as "garbling."

ord of Digs marriage. The defense
later contested the admissibility OF TIE
marriage certificate on the ground that
II could have no direct bearing on the
case at issue. but Judge Van Fleet decided
that would be material as showing
motive for leaving the State.
j. II. Stevens, vice president Of the
Fort Suffer National Bank Of Sacrament

identify Digs signature. Devlin object
ed to the admission of Stevens testimony
on the ground that he did not show suf-
ficient knowledge to pass on the matter
in question. but the objection was over
ruled.
r. G. Simon, ticket salesman In the
Sacramento Station of the Southern Pa
cific Railroad. identified number OF
tickets as having been sold by him on
the night of March 3. the date of the
flight to Reno. Attorney Roche offered
the bundle of tickets in evidence, indicat-
ing that he will attempt to show that
among them are the tickets which took
the quartet to Reno. and that Diggs paid
for them.
Conductor Identifies Tickets.
NJ. l. Jones, conductor on the Sacra-
mento- Reno run OF the China Mail. on
the night OF March 2, also identified
number of tickets which he said he had
collected on that night. The Pullman
conductor of the train will be examined
later by the prosecution. in supporting
the contention that the quartet occupied
single stateroom.

rented a bungalow to Diggs and Can't

Unstudied Irish Wiz

A well known theatrical writer
says a striking difference between
Irish wit and Scotch humor is that
the scotchman makes you think be-
fore you laugh, while the lrishman's
unexpected remark will make you
laugh before you think and really he
doesn't mean to be funny either.
As an example of unintentional
wit. An uncouth lrishman had be-
come wealthy and built a nice home,
His sons and daughters had refined
company and they were ashamed to
have the old man in the parlor, so
he never showed up in there when
company was about Finally he died
and the casket was carried to the
parlor. Friends of the femily had
gathered in and there was a show Of
lamentation, sincere on the part OF
the aged wife. who in deep grief as
she stroked the marble brow said:
Poor Finlgan. they've let you into
the parlor at last"
Another pathetic example "a going
the rounds of the press:
Two lrishmen were crossing the
ocean on the way TO America. On the
voyage over Pat died Preparations
were made for burial at sea, but the
lead weights customarily used in
such cases were lost and chunks OF
coal were substituted. Everything
was finally ready for the last rites,
and long and earnestly did Michael
look at his friend. Finally he blurt-
ed out sorrowfully:
well, Pat. ] always knew We were
goin' there, but I'm hanged II
thought they'd make ye carry yer
own coal!"- Tit-Blts.

chant can declare dividends. There
are two ways to do Il; by charging
high prices for merchandise or by
selling at smaller prices and dispos-
ing OF the goods more rapidly The
latter method IS the more success
full as the increased sales are suffi-
cient to cover the cost OF doing bus
mess and affords legitimate profit.
Merchandise that is susceptible to
advertising will yield more turn
overs for the reason that the custom
ers have read about them and notur-
ally take them by preference. This

ally buys In larger quantities.

grand jury resented this accusation
and the district Judge held an inyesti
cation. The jury commissioners
we're grilled and town rumors were
run down and on last Saturday the
