SIGNS A BILL TO enable
lawyers 10 COLLEC TFEES
Governor Approves Measure Which
Gives an Attorney Lien on His
Clients Award, AS Compensation
for Legal Services Rendered

People who hire attorneys to prose-
cute damage suits for them and after
recovering damages cheat the attorney
out of his fee, cannot do so any more,
under a law approved by Governor
Brumbaugh last night which gives the
attorney first whack at what verdict
his client may recover.
The bill provides that an attorney
shall have lien for his compensation
upon his client 8 cause of action, claim
or counter-claim which shall attach to
an award, verdict, order or other form

that the lien shall not be affected by
any compromise or settlement before
or, after judgment.
The Governor also signed the bill
prohibiting the use or sale of any bal
looms made or intended to contain fire
for purposes of ascension. This meas
ure will not apply to any balloon in
which person ascends, but is intended
to forbid the paper balloons, frequently
used at night.
The Governor also approved the
Graham House bill amending the Su-
perior Court act of 1895, SO that the
rank and seniority of the judges shall
be determined by continuous length

With his usual thoroughness and
clarity, Mr.. Herman has presented a

puzzles the world of art.
Benavente in his little drama pre-
sents FIVE haracters-Leonardo da
Vinci, the artist; Ismael, Jew; Florio
and Antonio, art students, and Stello,
page to Mona Lisa, and through them
he has woven a most interesting story
concerning that smile. n
Mr.. Herman has proven himself a
most capable translator, and the charm
OF. the great arthur has lost nothing in
the translation. The volume is beauti.
fully printed by Richard G. Badger, OF

RUSSIA issues denial
OF Defeat IN CALICIA

Washington, May THE Russian
Embassy yesterday received the follow
ing dispatch from the Russian Minister
of Foreign Affairs:
"Petrograd, May 5, 1915.
"The reports from Berlin and vi
emma of a victory gained by the Ger
mans and Austrians in Western GA
licia are absolutely unfounded. The
battles that are proceeding now in that
region give no foundation whatever to
talk even of partial success of oul
enemies. You are asked to contradict
most emphatically the reports spread
by the Germans.

Women Conductors in Wales

The first women conductors appeared
on the Cardiff street cars on April %
and were received enthusiastically by
the townspeople. Almost the entire pop
ulation Of the place made an effort to
obtain ride on one or another of the
cars officered by the new conductors,
with the result that the novices ex-
perienced a rush which would have
tried the ability of veteran. That
the new conductors were somewhat
nervous was quite evident during the
first few hours, but before the day was
over they had become more confident.
All the passengers, they said, were very
polite, except over occasional mistakes
in making change. Some of the men
who boarded the cars seemed to be in
doubt as to whether or not to remove
their hats inside the ears. For the
present, the women will start work at
10 clock in the morning and quit at
8 in the evening.

100000 American Horses Shipped

Cavalry has been so little used in
this war and transportation so depend
ant on motor vehicles that it is doubt
full whether the demand for American
horses is as heavy now as it will be aft
er the war, when the shortage will be
felt on the farms of Europe. The
United States has shipped fewer than
100000 horses to the warning powers
since hostilities began. If the number
is raised to 5000, only one per cent.
of the American horse supply have been
touched. The Swedish Government has
agreed to the export of 10,600 horses,
or ten per cent. of all the horses in
Sweden. The entire number is to go
to a single Danish dealer, presumably
for export to Germany.

Locusts a Menace to Egypt

The locust invasion in Egypt and
Palestine is proving far more serious
matter than war. The locusts, not
withstanding energetic measures taken
by the government and farmers, have
spread the length and breadth of Egypt
and are more numerous than at any
time within twenty years. They con-
stitute very serious menace to the
cotton crop, which is already well above
ground.

The French Minister of War has de-

army, and have made regular campaigns
and are wounded in the field, shall re-

ToLERATING THE BOOK AGENT

If there is any person whom busy housewife is
less eager to find at her door than unexpected
guest it must be book agent. The ringing of her
doorbell is seldom welcome sound to a woman
actively engaged in doing necessary household
work, and when the person responsible for the
ringing reveals himself herself, after much cir
cumlocuton to be the accredited representative of
very prominent and reliable publishing house of
which the prospective patron has never heard, the
interruption is generally regarded anything but
delightful.
''The lady of the house, when busy performing
her manifold daily duties is not usually thinking OF
buying books, matter how instructive or in
dispensable' those books may or may not be. Her
mind is on her work and she does not welcome dis
fractions. When she is stopped by canvasser and
requested to give her undivided attention to
recital of the merits of a particular publishing
house product, which is described absolutely
essential for the proper education of her children
and without which no home can be happy, she
cannot experience much of the agents enthusiasm
over the wonderful work which is being offered to
her. The chances are that she will take and
more of dislike to the book the longer the in
truder talks about it. II she finally puts her name
to subscription it is because of some particular
trick in the agents plea, perhaps because of her
desire to be rid of the entreater.
The average book agent has no higher ambition
than to be thus gotten rid of. Although he is, of
course, deeply interested in the welfare of all the
children of all his prospects, and is firmly con-
vnced' that what he is offering will be of lasting
benefit to those dear children, his principal object
is to make sale. 1t is none of his concern if the
little rowdies so much as glance at his treas
ury of knowledge after it is delivered.
The doortodoor canvasser, especially the woman
canvasser, has very pleasant ways of greeting a
prospect when the doorbell is answered. He or
she, having previously learned the Of the
prospect from neighbor gayy addresses the latter
as though the two had been friends since childhood
1t is such deception that often gains entrance into
the house for the agent, and once that optimistic
person is seated in a parlor chair there is little
opportunity for the escape of the prospect.
A harsh world has dubbed book agents as nus-
ances. ''The lady of the house, has little love
for them and sometimes has difficulty being civil
in their presence. She is Of the opinion that she
need not devote parts of her valuable time listen
ing to all sef-appointed distributors Of knowledge
who ring her doorbel and that she is surely not
obliged to purchase all the indispensable litera-
ture which is offered to her by those persistent
persons.
