KELLY IS
SURE, He
ASSERTS

Guy e. Kelly denied Saturday
that he ever made the threat that
at the next session of the legisla-
ture he would put the referen-
dun to sleep so that it never could
be used again"
This alleged threat of Kelly's
was reported to the labor unions
of Tacoma at their Thursday cele-
bration of the defeat OF all the
referendum measures, by Miss
Lucy r.. Case, secretary of the
joint legislative committee of the
Farmers Grange, Farmers union
and State Federation of Labor.
Kelly Saturday accused Miss
Case of deliberately misquoting
him.
What He Did Say.
what / did say" he declared,
was that the seven referendum
measures defeated by the voters
in the last election, were dead for
all time, and that it should be
ridiculous for the state legislature
to attempt to adopt measures on
which the people of the state had
put their stamp of disapproval."
The statement was made DIT
Thursdays union meeting that
the joint legislative committee
would be kept intact and that a
closer watch than ever before
would be kept on the legislature.
Says He Has Oh.
In answer to a statement in the
Seattle Post-Intelligencer Satur-
day questioning the claim of Kel-
ly to pledges from 62 mebers Of
the house in his race for speaker,
Kelly replied that he had rot only
81, but SO pledges definitely.
The P.-I. stated that zone dis
turbing feature of Kelly's candi-
dacy is that Elmer e. Halsey. of
Asotin county, veteran of five ses-
sions, will endeavor to round up
a few votes in eastern Washing
ton In his own behalf"
Kelly is as positive as over of
enough pledges to assure him the
speakership.

MUSIC OF BARBARY STATES
Strange and Weird Tunes Are Thoss
Played by Men Of the
Great Desert.

"The four Barbary states are Moroc+
co, Algeria, Tunis and Tripoll," is a
lesson most of us learned in childhood,
and most Of us know very little more
about them today.
Mrs. Mabel L. Todd comments on the
wonderful mental quickness Of the
children of Tripoli. in "Tripoli the
Mysterious" They acquire languages,
she declares, without effort, and the
street urchins use easily French, Ital-
ian, and all the languages that are
current In their narrow streets. The
strange music of the city, too, the
weird chants, the cymbals, dageolets
and queer stringed instruments, all
deeply impressed the American visitor.
Sometimes at dawn, when roofs and
minarets were dazzlingly white against
the sapphire sky, while yet the laby-
rinthine streets ut the bottoms of stuc-
co canyons lay in twilight gray, strange
men from the desert would stalk by,
making uncanny music.
One of them, very tall and blacker
than most, was dressed in q lows
necked, short-sleeved garment, greatly
abbreviated as to skirts; playing melo-'
dies In a minor mode unknown 10 the
West, and his stride was full Of dig
nifty well-nigh appalling.
The instrument slightly resembled a
Scotch bagplpe decorated with bar
barrie strings of shells and beads, an
inflated skin with primitive mouth
piece, and at the opposite end two
pointed projections like horns. His
companion beat upon a curious little
tomtom, and now and then sang q
bloodcurdling chant.
Black boys followed, jumped, shoub-
ed, danced like wild creatures, excited
beyond all bounds by this oddly COM
pelling music, as the rhythm penetrate
ed and seized their Imagination. ALI
though these men Of mystery generally
passed about sunrise, they sometimes
went by In the night once or twice the
weird performances took place about
two o'clock in the morning. The min
strels always walked with peculiar
swiftness, intent upon the serious busi-
ness In hand.

NAUGHT IN THE FAMILY NAME
Feminist Would Have Us Believe That
Today We May Disgrace II
With lmpunity.

I feel sure that In all seriousness,
round about 1850, a father may have
said to his son that he was disgrac-
ing the name Of Smith. Now he may
almost disgrace the name of Fitz Arun-
del for all anybody cares. There was
q time when II was thought criminal
that a man should become bankrupt,
but few families will now mortgage
their estate to prevent a distant mem.
ber's appearance before the official re-
ceiver.
The name of the family is now mere.
ly generic, and the bold young girl OF
tomorrow will say, my father began
life as a forger and was ultimately
hanged, but that shouldn't bother you,
should it?" Much OF that deliques-
cence is due to the factory system, for
1t opened opportunities to all, which
many took, raised men high In the
scale of wealth; one brother might be
millionaire In Manchester, while an.
other tended bar In Liverpool.
Sometimes the rich member Of the
family came back, such as the uncle
who returned from America with for
tune In a state of sentimental gener
osity, but most of the time 1t has
meant that the family split into those
who keep their carriage and those who
take the tram. Perhaps Cervantes did
not exaggerate when saying that there
are only two families: Have-Much and

MONEY AT HIS FINGER TIFS
Scores Of Men Borrowed From William
Weiehtman as They Would
From a Bank.

William Weightman, the old quinlne
king, was one of the three or four rich
est men who ever died in Pennsylvania.
No man In this city ever kept so
much real money at his finger tips as
did Mr.. Weightman, a writer In the
Philadelphia Public Ledger states.
Scores OF men borrowed money from
him as they would from bank, and 1t
was his custom to give them cash and
not a check.
Here Is an example of the old mil
lionalre's method which 1 have from
Frederick A. Richie, whose plant for
making testing machines is a neighbor
Of the Welghtman chemical factory.
"We often had occasion to borrow
money, and we used to go to Mr..
lWeightman's office and ask him for the
loan of some cash. Mr.. Weightman
never refused, and after listening to
our story quietly and patiently would
reach around to one Of his many fire.
proof safes and open the door, get
out one of his fat pocketbooks and
pick out the banknotes for the amount
that we needed. Mr.. Weightman never
gave me a check"
Then this touch of the human side
of that extraordinary money getter:
"Mr. Weightman was very fond Of
flowers and generally had a cluster or
two of very choice blooms"
He could well afford them with those
innumerable 'fat pocketbooks."
