lures. the furnishings of which will
require a great deal of studying and
planning to bring out all it's splendid
possibilities. Such rooms nowadays
are seldom or never carpeted. The
floor is hard wood with finish that
shows the grain to advantage. The
floor is nice enough to leave without
any covering whatever; but no one
likes a bare floor because OF the noise
and from the further fact that no room
has properly furnished appearance
unless the floor has been carefully pro-
vided with rugs that harmonic with
the wall and ceiling decorations.
There is a good deal in proportioning
rugs to the size OF the room. This
large living room should have two rugs
large enough to reduce the outside
margin to about ten inches. The space
between the rugs In the center should
be about the same. but this space d.
rectly in the center OF the archway
should be filled In with another rug

WOMAN DEPUTY To
DIST. ATTORNEY.

A woman assistant district attor-
ney is the latest demand OF the
women of Alameda county The plan
has been under consideration by the
women political leaders for several
weeks. but 1t was not until yesterday
that the innovation was publicly dis
cussed at the first luncheon at Ebell
clubhouse of the Women's Political
Leage of Alameda county.
The suggestion was enthusiastically
received by the league, and its an
nouncement was greeted by bursts
of excitement.
The proponents of the movement
believe that many cases in which
women are brought before the dis
trict attorney are such issues and of
q nature that only a woman should
decide. Already the field is being
canvassed for a woman attorney who
will accept the position IL the ap-
pointment is forthcoming.
Miss Marguerite ogden. daughter of
Judge F. b. ogden of the superior
court of Alameda county. who is a
brilliant young attorney of San Fran
cisco. but whose home is in Oakland,
has been mentioned for the place.
Mrs. James B. Hume, president of
the Women's Political league, and
Mrs. Frances Gribble Coburn. treas
urer of the organization. are the orig
inators of the plan to have a woman
assistant district attorney.

Morgan. "a years old. wealth archi-
tect. on the witness stand in the trial
of George II. Bixby, today related that
he had given three checks to Attorney
w II. Stevens to prevent having
charges made against him that would
degrade him.
The checks totaled s2.5oo AS soon
as Morgan testified that the checks
were made payable to Attorney
Stevens, and LIE Comte Davis. at
torney for Bixby, had asserted that
Stevens represented Mrs. Irene Marie
Brown Levy, to whom Morgan ad
mitted he had been introduced, Judge
Rledsoe announced that he would ask
the Bar association at once TO in
vestigate Stevens and his partner, G..
S. McKelvey.
These men must be either vindi-
Gated of the inference that they did
the actual work of extorting money
from Morgan or they must be pun
ished." Judge Bledsoe said.
WOMEN BECOME HysTERICAL
While Morgan was on the stand,
slowly and reluctantly reciting how
he gave the checks to Stevens. a COM
motion was heard In the witness room

Bixby will take the witness stand
as soon as the Interrogation of Nor
gan is completed.

Odd you see him during the
past summer? A.-Yes.
Q.-Did you ever give him a
check?
Former Judge Gray-I think the
witness ought to be excused from
answering that question. II he an
swers that it Will be inferred that
he submitted to blackmail, and if he
admits submitting to blackmail much
more of a degrading nature will be
inferred
