The sun was dropping toward the
western tops. The guests were leav-
ing by twos and threes. The colonel
had prevailed upon his dinner guests
not to bother about going back to the
village to dress, but to dine in the
clothes they wore. Finally, none re-
manned but Harrigan, Abbott, the
Barone, the padre and Courtlandt. And
they talked noisily and agreeably con-
ce~aing man affairs until Rao gravely
announced that dinner was served.

which followed, that light was shed

consciously stirring Harrigan's mind:

FLAT JANIToRs ARE GRANTED A
NEW TRIAL

John Sullivan, Eugene Fosdick and
Arthur tombstone, members of the
Flat Janitors' Union who were fined
5000 and costs each by Municipal
Judge Wade, who then suspended
their fines, have been granted new
trials.
The three men were arrested on
disorderly conduct charges on COM
plant of Mrs. Riser, who employees
non-union men at her fiat building,
1905 Ellis avenue.
They were arraigned before Judge
Wade in the 35th street court. No
testimony was taken. They received
the maximum fines.
The men charged that the suspen-
sion of the fines was merely to have
a club hanging over them so that
they could not attend to their duties
as union officials in the 35th street
district.
Attorney Michael Ryan of the
union argued that the men were en-
titled to new trial on account of the
lack of evidence. Il will be heard on

Desire for Riches.
Mrs. Barnhisel declares that
her husband resigned from the
pastorate of the First Presbyter-
ian church because OF his desire
for riches, and not because of her
alleged extravaganza. She says
that since he entered the real es-
tate and brokerage business his
finances have rapidly diminished
until his credit was practically
gone, but that he maintained a
cheerful demeanor and she had no
knowledge of his unfortunate
speculations.
When the Barnhisels were mar
ried in MERGED, Cal, i'm 1897, Rev.
Barnhisel was pastor of the First
Presbyterian church of Los GatOs,
CAL, according to Mrs. Barnhisel,
at IA salary of 81 900 a year. I'm.
til the birth of her first child Mrs.
BarnhiseI did all of her own
household work, she says.
Says She Aided i'm Entertaining
After coming to Tacoma she de-
voted all her social activities to
the members of the Tacoma Pres
byterian church, she says, and
tried to assist her husband as
much as possible in making him
self a great power in the COM
munity," which she says was his
avowed purpose.
Mrs. Barnhisel declares that
her husbands charges that she
entertained lavishly and that she
was extravaganza in her personal
and household expenses are un-
true. She had an income of her
own of $3.50 year, she says, with
which she purchased many of her
own clothes.
She owned 480 acres of land in
California, worth $4,000, she
says, and when she was in Santa
Barbara, Cal, in February of last
year, she received a telegram
from Rev. Barnhisel telling her
that she must sell the land or
everything would be over be-
tween them Mrs. Barnhisel
had saved the land to use for
educating her children, but she
came to Tacoma at once, and fin
ally consented to the sale of the
land in order to save her hus-
band from bankruptcy. Rev.
Barnhisel sold 1t for $4,000,
she says, and within so days filed
suit for divorce against he..
There was no trouble between
the minister and his wife, Mrs.
Barnhisel says, until Rev. Barn
hisel used violence against her
last year. In a fit of angry pas
sion, she says. she cried, II hate
you!" to her husband. This Isl
the only time that she uttered
such a statement, she says.
The wife asks for $3.50 per-
month for herself and children,
wants the divorce dropped, and
asks the court to give her posses
sion of their furniture. which she
says is now in a Tacoma storage
ehouse.
