and wrote her name in it. g'. '.
"Where do you live?' he asked, his

Rosalba Yznaga interposed.
"You shall come with me, Am lie,

the room.
"There's something between those
two," Cooley explained in an undertone
to Scarborough. "That French girls got

it. And she knows about Brown, too

The last remark was elected by the
sound of movement and of voices in the
hall. Somebody was arriving.
THERE were two newcomers: the cor
oner's physician and DR.. Tierney, the
family practitioner and friend.
At sight of the latter Rosalba 1znaga
started forward with little cry of relief;
and, gathering her into his arms, the
doctor held her there while with a few
rapid questions he put himself in touch
with the situation.
Scarborough watched him with con-
siderable interest; for DR.. Percival Tier
ney was big man in his profession and
one of the alienists most frequently called
upon for expert testimony in insanity
eases. He was physically big too, of a
robust Irish type, with clear, shrewd blue
eyes, a forid complexion, and bushy
white hair, once red. He moved and
spoke with decision, his voice, express
sion, and manner all evidencing the man
of authority And how he had won his

AT the question Inspector Cooley gave
start and looked around. He had been
standing beside Scarborough, watching
the doctor in fascinated envy, thinking
that il the latter demanded the huge fees

assurance that characterized him now,
it was no wonder he got them. In the
Inspectors absorption Amelie CADET had
been forgotten. Where was she? She

"Amelie is upstairs help me-"

"Very WE'LL me darlin'. Now run
along. I'm wanting to get you away
from this sad house as soon as may be.
"One minute, miss"
The Inspector brusquely barred the
way. His purpose of preventing a pri
waite meeting between mistress and maid
still held and he had no idea of allowing
the latter to go to the convent.
"Fogarty, go upstairs and tell that
girl to hurry up!' he ordered one of his
men, waving him on his way with an i'm
perious arm. There were Others beside
high-priced doctors who knew how to
get themselves obeyed! Then he at once
turned to deal with the officious person
to whom he had already yielded the CEN

FOOD SCARCITY AND HIGH PRICES CAUSE
 RIOTING IN LISBON

LISBON, June 9.-The riots here briefly announced abroad by tele- graph, were caused by scarcity of bread an increase in the cost of po- tatoes and high prices for food gen erally.
 Long lines of people had been wait ing from dark to daybreak night af ter night for the bakeries to open. Anarchist agitators, taking advantage of this situation, appear to have or ganized disturbances in various parts of Lisbon.
 Crowds assailed the bakeries, groc- cries and provision stores and sacked numerous places. A warehouse was despoiled of $3O0,000 worth of olive oil and groceries.
 Martial law was proclaimed and the military governor restored order. Twenty-seven persons were killed in the rioting. Hundreds were arrested.

JURIST WINS WHEN SENATE
 CONFIRMS HIM Unanimous Action Gives Judge Jennings Another Four Year-Term

acted was unconstitutional and that Judge Jennings knew it to be. He said that he 'purposely" framed his Legislative, or so-called Territorial government bill, so that the Legisla- ture would have no power to change the election law.
 Wickrshams Rage to No Avail.
 The Senate judiciary committee reviewed the case that Judge Wick ersham had attempted to make against Judge Jennings, and then unanimously, Republican members and Democratic voting together, agreed to report favorably upon the nomination. This was done last Monday, and the action of the com mittee was ratified by the unani- nous vote of the Senate yesterday evening, the first executive session of the week
 The news of the confirmation of Judge Jennings was received in Jul neau last night in telegrams to him from Delegate Charles A. Sulzer and Senator James Hamilton Lewis, of Illinois. He was nominated by the President in April, and, accord ing to dispatches from Washingt the Senate Judiciary committee de- layed action because of a telegram from Gov. J. F. A. Strong to a member of the committee asking that it delay action until he could reach Washington.
 Judge Jennings has been resi- dent of Alaska for more than 19i years. He located at Wrangell early in 1898, and later in the same year he removed to Skagway. Five or six years later he came to Juneau. Prior to coming to Alaska he was resident of Port Townsend, Wash, | where he served as City Attorney and Prosecuting Attorney of lief ferson County. In 1896 he was the Democratic nominee for Superior Court Judge for Jefferson, Clallam and Island counties, and narrowly missed election, though all three | counties went Republican.
 Since coming to Alaska Judge i Jennings has been one of the lead | ing lawyers of the First Division. | and public spirited citizen. In 1 1912 he was the Democratic nom- l inee for Delegate to Congress. He was appointed United States Dis tr1ct Judge in April, 1913, and took the oath of office May 20 following. His reappointment and confirma- tion is very satisfactory to the mem 1 bers of the bar and citizens general ! ly.
