The vote today came after long
and argumentative sessions, dur
ing which at times II appeared i'm
possible that an agreement could
be reached. While the matter of
a minimum wage itself was a
hard one for the members of the
conference to agree upon-recom-
mendations Of from $3.50 to s12
being made by various members
of the conference.-the actual di-
vision occurred on the matter of
apprenticeship, and 1t was only
through the exercise of marked
diplomacy on the part of Chair

LOS ANGELES, April 2. -
Heiress to $4,000, but compell-

her fathers estate of $112, 1000
cannot be divided until after the
death of her step-mother, is the
situation confronting pretty Mrs.
Julia Troconiz Mayors.
Mrs. Mayors, reared in the lar

says, "in addition to all my ex.

She cannot contest her fathers

makes such an attack forfeits all
claim to the estate.

In support Of his contention
that Mrs. Bainhisel's extrava-
gance forced hin, TO speculate in
real estate while he was pastor
Of the First Presbyterian church
OF Tacoma, and that his wife's
household expenses amounted TO
thousands of dollars each year,
Arthur II. Barnhisel, former
minister, took the witness stand
this morning In his divorce suit
against Mrs. Bsrnhisel and
enumerated his many local In
vestments.
Took "Long Shots"
Rev. Barnhisel took long
shots" on real estate and invari-
ably his speculations proved sue
cessful, even to the extent of
doubling his money in two years.
He made a total cash profit of
nearly 1000 during the five
years that he was pastor of the
First Presbyterian church. he tes-
titled, together with his five
years salary from the church OF
$l5,900. and "honorariums" OF
3d.
Rev. Barnhisel's divorce case
narrowly escaped an untimely end
when court convened. Attorney
Maurice Langhorn, representing
Mrs. Barnhisel, demanded a dis
missal of the suit because Barn
hisel had failed to pay over $75
attorneys fees ordered by Judge
yesterday a few days ago. Ac-
cording to law, this would be a
ground for summary dismissal.
Attorney Frederick Murray, rep
resenting Barnhisel, argued that
the former pastor had met busi-
ness reversals, was without cash,
and that all his prpperty was
tied up in such d hammer that
he could not realize anything on
1t at once. Judge John n. Nit
Ichen Of Olympia, who Is hearing
the case. was on the point of dis
missing the action when Attorney
Murray paid over a personal check
for SIS to the opposing counsel,
thereby obeying Judge Easter
days former order.
Church People Attend.
The courtroom today was well
filled with spectators, most of
them women, members of the
First Presbyterian church. Mrs.
Barnhisel was accompanied by
Miss Charlotte l.. Dewey and
Mrs. Nelson. Bennett, widow of
the late railroad contractor. Mrs.
Barnhisel was dressed in a

Mrs. Ethel Gibson, 1903 North

attacked by two thugs Tuesday

was seeking notOriety as a
benefit in her divorce suit. The
suit Is now pending In the SUPER

Mrs. Gibson walked to 45th

and the commission must lease to
them for 80 years the harbor area.
Thus the public could for 80
years be shut out from the whole
coast line ON Puget Sound by the
waterfront owners. And if the port
commission later wanted to oct ac-
cess to the land from the water they
would have to condemn this harbor
area which is now vested in the
state and which would then pass to
the waterfront owners.
Possibly this innocent little joker
is the reason why certain water
front owners are SO eager for the
port commission.
1t would be fine for MIR. Titlow
to be able to shut off everybody from
approaching the land at Titlow beach
unless they paid him tribute.

J0kERS IN THE PORT DISTRICT LAW

If the port district law were
straight it would be bad enough but
the thing seems to be full of jokers.
The last legislature removed
every safeguard for the people.
A port commission could get in
cahoots with favored contractor
and fatten his purse to the tune of
millions and the people would be
helpless.
There never has been a thing
come from the legislature thatopened
SO many and such easy avenues to
graft that would run into millions.
But that is not all. Still another
joker has appeared in chapter 1863.
