Further Problem Involved.

a further problem was involved. The
commission wanted to know If the law
contemplates the reinstatement of for
mer employees now in the military serv-
ice, whose pay in their civilian posi-
tions ceased upon their muster into the
military service, and the granting TO
them of the remainder of their thirty
DAYS annual leave with pay.
The questions are decided by Acting
Controller of the Treasury Charles
Marshall Force. He rules that the law
does not contemplate the reinstatement
of former employs nor authorize pay
ment to them for any period after
their actual separation from the civil
service. As Mr.. Gallett was continued
on the rolls until June 80. and his
services not before terminated by res
ignatiop, discharge, dismissal or APP
pointment of his successor. Acting Con-
trol1er Force finds that he could have
been granted leave with pay for the
period up to that time

Dress Suit From T. d. Harris and

He Admitted
TOO MUCH GIRL" He
SAYS IN INTERVIEW

FRANK II. DeNlllierS was Twice ar
1a'gned this morning on two alleged
cases of grand larceny; one Of them
at 10 o'clock in Justice John r. Ken
nedy's court on the charge of larceny
OF dress suit belonging to Prof. T.
j. Harris, of the Canon City High
school, and the other before Police
Magistrate D. J. Houston. on the
charge of the larceny of a diamond
sing. valued at sixty dollars. and a gold
bracelet, valued at fifty dollars. be-
longing to Miss Marie Isabelle Powers.
Devilliers pleaded guilty in both
cases and was in each instance bound
over to answer to the district court
in the sum of five hundred dollars. In
default of bail Devilliers was remand
ed to the county jail to await trial.
In response to an interrogatory from
Justice Kennedy the prisoner stated
that he had borrowed the suit of cloth
ing alluded to from Prof. Harris and
was not thief in the ordinary sense
and should not be punished. On be-
ing asked by the district attorney
whether he had converted the cloth
ing to his own use and had given an
affirmative answer he was informed
that such an act constituted larceny
under the statutes of Colorado. De
villiers said that he was sorry for what
he had done and expressed the hope
that his bond would be fixed as low
as possible. He said that he had made
application for employment since his
return to Canon City and expected to
get job. In consideration of that fact
he asked Justice Kennedy If he would
not allow him to go on his own recog-
nizance without bond, in which case
he would report to the sheriff of the
county at O'Clock every evening. The
court told him that in view of his past
conduct such request could not be
granted as there was too much danger
of his running away. Devilliers init
mated that he might be able to give
bond as soon as he could communicate
with bis friends.
In Judge Houston's court Devilliers
said in answer to question from Mr..
Houston that he fully intended to steal
the diamond ring referred to and dis.
pose Of the proceeds from IL to his
personal benefit. He denied, however
that he had any intention OF keeping
the bracelet, but said nothing about
any plans to return II to its rightful
owner. Deyilliers at both hearings
indicated his penitence for what he
had done In neither court was any
reference made to the money and mer
chandise he procured on worthless
checks.
The preliminary hearings this morn
ing related only to the specific com
plants described, viz: The larceny
of the dress suit from Prof. Harris
and the larceny of the diamond ring
and gold bracelet from Miss Powers.

Attractive Ninht Lamps.

So-called Damascus shrine lamps" come from the far East and are now being used in America for night lights, or in rooms where only candle light is used. The base of the shrine is 8 Auted shallow brass pan four inches in diameter, which holds 8 candle. It hangs at the bottom of wreath of prettily-wrought leaves. The wreath is the size of tea plate, and at the top it holds a dome over the candle flame. In the top of the dome there Is a heavy hook to swing the light by. These lamps are particularly decora- tive, lending themselves to their back ground harmoniously, especially in rooms with black paint and yellow wall coverings.
