othy Arnold case. An heriess
had disappeared. Madeline Bran

home at her foster mothers, Mrs.
Ida Bran, clouding her departure
with mystery and leaving no elew
to her whereabouts.
Recently she turned up here,
where she had been in hiding

her husband, Mike, petitioned for
her release that she might care
for her little family. The couple
have three children, aged 4, 3 and
/ eyars, respectively.
Judge yesterday, at that time,
liberated Mrs Hagla. Last night
when her husband returned home
from work he found the little
girl of four lying on the floor in
a drunken stupor. Her mother
admitted she had given the child
nearly a quart of whisky.

June salaries for employees OF
the city OF Tacoma will not be
paid this week. They probably
will not be paid next week nor
until the courts rule ON Mayor
Fswcett's new salary ordinance.
Mayor A. v. Fawcett and Con-
troller John r. Meads are dead
locked over salaries for the eity's
employees. with the ultimatum
from Mayor Fawcett that he will
go to jail before he will sign the
warrants, and from Meads that ne

gardiess of the Consequences.

Atkins will become mayor. But
Atkins today declared positively
that he was "a dead game sport"
and that If the mayor went TO
jail he also would go before he
would give in a notch on the sal
airy controversy.
Trouble Over New Ordinance.
The entire trouble results from
the new ordinance concerning sal
aries that was introduced by May
or Fawcett when he first took
office. The ordinance was pass
ed. reconsidered at the next ses-
sion, and left hanging in mid-alr
after several guerilla attempts
hu1 ham h. :
Mills to amend 1t. City Control
Ter Meads has held ever since the
reconsideration OF the ordinance
that the new salary measure still
hangs i'm the balance, and that
there is no ordinance in effect at
the present time regarding any of
the employees affected by Faw-I
cett's bill.
m Employees Affected
Eleven employees are affected
by the ordinance, including City
Attorney Stiles, Assistant CITY
Attorney Carnahan, Health Off
GER Wall, and five health office
employees, and three stenograph-
ers.
Controller Meads has drawn up
warrants for the June salaries
under the provisions of the form
er salary ordinance, but has re-
Trained from drawing any for the
eleven contested employees The
salaries should be paid Friday,
because the regular payday, June
), comes on Sunday, and the 4th
is a legal holiday.
Employees at the city hall were
thrown into a fever of excitement
over the salary controversy to-
day. Salaries amounting to a to-
tai of about $4,000 are affected
by the matter, and no warrants
are valid unless signed BY Mayor
Fawcett. They must also be sign
ed by City Clerk Nickeus. The
clerk, however. will make no
move to stop the progress of the
warrants If they ever reach his
desk.

Honorable Archers.

The British Honorable Artillery
company were at one time mighty
men with the bow and arrow, and they
were most particular AS to the replac-
ing of what were known as the arch
er's marks-wooden pillars in the open
spaces of the capital. Several times
in the century before last the valiant
men of the H. A. G. (who date from
the year 1887, when they were incor-
porated by Henry Wild asserted their
old archer privileges, and replaced
marks that had been removed by en-
crOachers. In 1871, when the Long
Butts at Islington Common were de-
stroyed by grave-diggers, the artillery
company were wroth, and compelled
the vandals to restore the targets. In
1912, of all the open ground for arch
cry, there remained only few acres
to the north of the City road.-Pall

it shows again, There is touch of
mink fur and a belt of bottlegreen

IDEAS IN THE NEW STOCKS
Satin Collar and Cuff Sets Perhaps
More Predominant Than Any of
More Recent Styles

Satin collar and cuff sets are con-
sidered among the smartest effects
In some of the high-class models both
the collar and the cuffs are in unique
points The collar portion is wired
in the back to suggest the Medici.
Flesh-colored satin sets are particu-
larly smart
Satin, however, finds it's greatest en-
ployment in the new ultra-high closed
stocks These are shown in black and
in white or in black and white combi-
nations, with severe tabs in the front,
sometimes combined with fan plaits
in the back.
Perhaps the most interesting thing
of al is the odd way in which these
new stocks are worn. In days gone
by their use was limited largely to
closed neck shirt or a severe tailored
blouse. Now, however. they are worn
with various V-neck waists, simply
fastened around the neck, leaving the
portion bare. Thus the stock is

MATTERS OF LEGAL ETHICS
Nice Questions as to Conduct of At
torneys Decided by Committee
of Lawyers.

One of the questions submitted to
the committee on professional ethics
of the New York County Lawyers as
ISOLATION stated that member of a
firm of attorneys recently occupied d
high judicial position. While in active
practice one of his opinions was cited
against the position taken by his
clients in certain litigation. To an
swer this argument the ex-judge's firm
said in it's brief:
1T was a member of our firm who
wrote the opinion cited against US.
When this matter was recently
brought to his attention he gave it as
his view that the practice which we
urge is proper and the motion which
we make is made with his express
sanction.
In response to the question as to
whether such statement in the brief
was proper, the committee said: In
the opinion of the committee, the ref
erence in the brief to the present
view or opinion is improper. 1t is
outside of the scope of allowable argu-
ment."
The committee also holds it to be
improper professional conduct for an
attorney to advertise as follows:
Avoid Litigation-I act as adviser
arbitrator, adjudicator and special con
fdential agent to automatically ad
just all difficulties and disputes for in
| dividuals, corporations or heirs. Bond
given when matters of trust are placed

FOR The TELEPHONE
ORNAMENTAL HOUSE EASY OF
CONSTRUCTION.
Little Work Required, and the Neces-
sary Time VIII Be Little to the
Cir! Handy With the Card
board and Paste.

There is nothing to prevent the
girl who is handy with cardboard and
paste from making one of those little,
fascinating telephone houses with the
cumming clock above and the glass
door in front, writes Helen Howe in
the Washington Star
The bottom of the floor should be of
wood about ten inches square and the
side walls of stiff cardboard to the
Bloping roof twelve inches high. The
walls in the back and front, which
come up to a point, are fifteen inches
high, and the roof in two pieces
should connect these walls and be
foundation.
The next thing is to cover all these
pieces upon one side with cretonne,
brocade, velvet, tapestry, or any SIM
liar goods, cutting each piece large
enough to turn over the edges for one
quarter of an inch. This will be the
outside of the house The lining
should be preferably of silk in a color
harmonizing with the outside covering.
This too is cut a little larger than
the place it is to cover to enable the
edges to be neatly turned in. When
ali the pieces are in readiness paste
down the lining and put the house to-
gether with paste,
Cut out (before putting together) a
space in the front wall for the door,
AS it is not always convenient to get
glass cut. I suggest the home house
builder should substitute doors of the
wall covering for the glass. There
could be two doors opening from the
middle of the house, and a brass ring
screwed into each will be both handy
and decorative This arrangement will
be much easier to accomplish than the
glass, and will be quite as pretty. The
doors could be put on with ribbon
hinges. l would suggest hanging a
telephone number list inside one door
and dainty pad and pencil on the
other, when everything connected with
a telephone would be complete, A lit
tie space is left in the wall at the back
near the floor to allow the wire to
pass through.
If small clock is thought neces-
sary, a small round of the wall can
be cut away and a cheap watch hung
upon the inside. There is, however,
