Norah Moore Wins
In Gold Dust Case

After several months of litga-
ship of about $4,000 worth of gold
dust, concerning which Norah Moore
and Ben Dahl and their respective
attorneys have been contesting, was
decided, for temporary time at
least, Saturday morning, when Judge
Fuller ordered the gold turned over
to Miss Moore
The gold had been in the Gus
tody of Commissioner John Dillon
since the grand jury failed to find
true bill against Norah Moore
for having stolen the gold. Com
missioner Dillon brought an action
some time ago to have the court
determine to whom the gold should
be delivered, but the action was dis
missed A second action for the
same purpose was heard Saturday
and resulted in the decision that
inasmuch as the gold had been taken
by the marshal on a search warrant,
it must be returned to the person
from whom it was taken, and not
held to await legal suit to deter
mine it's legal ownership.
The case has had many side
lights, one of which was the effort
on the part of Ben Dahl, who origi-
nally claimed ownership of the gold,
to have it turned over to Miss Moore
without giving his attorneys
chance to get their fees from it.
Cecil II. Clegg, one Of Dahl's attor-
neys, declared after the decision
Saturday that 1t was a case OF le-
galized robbery Miss Moore's at
torneys are MCGOWAN & Clark.

Utah Cooper Dividends.

Reaching New York. d. c. Jackling
gave out an interview to the effect
that no material changes in the mill
plants at Garfield We're contemplate
ed; that the capacity of the Arthur
and Magma mills would remain as
at present, and that the Utah Cop

finished proposition. That as a
result of all construction being fin
ished and large percentage Of the
stripping operations being completed,
the money heretofore having gone
into these expense items would be
available for dividends. A present
Utah Copper is distributing SO a
share annually and since improve
ments have been completed the CON-
pany has been building up a cash
surplus account which will soon
amount to s5,000,000. In its present
strong physical and financial condl-
ton it Is reasonable to presume that
the dividends will be increased from

rate Of about $6,O00,0O0 annually

CHINESE WOMAN MOST
MODEST AND FEMININE

Custom alone determines the mod
esty or immodesty Of any garment.
All that is necessary to make any
article of wearing apparel perfectly
innocuous to the masculine beholder
is for enough women 10 wear 1t
enough times for 1t to become Gus
tomary sight. Take, for instance, the
riding habit. The old-fashioned rid
ing habit had full draped skirt, a
high stiff derby hat and other uncom-
portable and ridiculous features.
Through the divided skirt this cos
tune has evolved into one of the
most sensihls and promising of all
dresses for women. The young girl
who now rides horseback In our parks
and in the country wears knicker-
bockers and a Norfolk jacket and q
soft felt hat, as like her brothers
as her figure permits.
Let us sincerely hope that, before
many years have passed, this cos
tune many be adopted as the stand
ard street dress. The prejudice
against trousers as being unfeminine
is being slowly undermined by our
contact with the Oriental. These
Chinese women are the most modest
and feminine in the world. They
all wear trousers and would be hor-
rifsed at the immodesty Of the skirt.

Evers Help to Braves.

A player Of Johnny Evers' ability
is apt to make a wonderful differ
ence in the strength of the Boston
team. To begin with, he will add
much to its playing strength, be-
cause of his individual ability, but
he will add considerable more in in
jecting real strategy and inside base
ball into his teammates. Evers will
get more money out of the switch
from Chicago to Boston than any
player ever identified with the game.
II reports are to be believed, he
will receive a twenty thousand dol
lar bonus for signing, not to speak Of
a four-year contract calling for $780,

New York The Job OF trying

the recruit may have enough natur'

CAIRO BUILDING
ANDLOAN ASS'NS
IN MUCH favor
Great Aids to Prosperity of Cairo
Pcop'e for Past Thirty-four
Years.
HUNDREDS OF HOMES BUILT
BECAUSE OF THEIR HELP
The Oldest Association in City is
Now Thirty-four Years Old,
The Cairo.

For the past thirty years in
Cairo thare has been an imper
ceptble force cXerting itself which
has had a tendency to stabilize tho
population. increase the number OF
homes here and to generally I'M
prove the lot of the poor lrun.
This force is the influence eXerted
Dy the six local building and loan
associations. The combined assets
of these six companies is s1,069.-
627. These powerful institutions
constitute a greater part of the
frame work on which prosperity has
been built.
one of the advantages afforded
by these associations is the safety
which an investment in any one Of
them insures. The poor man,
hampered by lack of funds and
credit, has before him in these in
stitutions the opportunity to build
& house which he can call his own,
From them he can borrow a sum
sufficient on which to build his
modest home, and then return it in
monthly payments, the equivalent
of paying rent.
Through these associations, Cairo
has undoubtedly got greater mum
ber Of houses than she would have
had without their assistance. 1t IS
estimated that between thirty and
thirty-fiyc per cont OF all the homes
in Cairo were erected or arc secured
by the building and loan associa-
ti0ns. These buildings represent
real estate values Of almost $1,000
600.
The outstanding loans of the To-
cal companies aggregate $9SS,044,
most of which is in smaller loans of
the average size of $500.
II Is fact that cannot ne denleu
that these associations have aided
quicker growth in the city, and
have helped in converting the float
ing population into industrious
citizens. 1t is unquestionably much
better for a man to be a home owner
than renter
The six building and loan associa-
tions here are the Cairo, Citizens
Home, Central, Greater Cairo and
the Delta. The oldest of these is
the Cairo which was established ID
years ago. A. Comings has been its
secretary throughout all this time
The Delta the youngest, being
hut four years old.
