INDIAN STARTS FAD.

Members of the Ute tribe of Indians
in Utah have recently acquired the
habit of wearing spectacles, much to
their own delight and to the profit of
an optical salesman in their vicinity.
A chief started the style by purchas-
ing a pair of ycllOw-lens glasses from
the white man and in a few days so
many Indians demanded similar adorn-
ments that the drummer's supply was
exhausted and he had to send for
more. 1t is said that there are near
ly 20 mon, women and children in
this tribe who now possess speCtacles
some indicate their social position by
wearing three pairs at "A time Glasses
with heavy tOrtoise-shell rims have
proven popular. These Indians were
on their way to attend powwow in
New Mexico. and it is thought that
they wanted their new adornments

SEATTLE, March 21.-"Do you
believe in the double standard Of
morality"
This question was put up to e.
p. Erckenbrack by woman men,
Der of the coroner's jury which
cleared him of all blame for the
death of Mabel Howe, his maid,
who was found dead in his home
here last Saturday with a bullet
wound in her temple, following a
midnight party.
Erckenbrack, a former Tacoma
man, is manager of the Border
Line Transportation Co. of this
city.
The testimony at the inquest
was that the 19-year-old maid
came to her death after 10 days
of dependency over the prospect
of facing unwed motherhood. The
jury's verdict was that she COM
mitted suicide.

standard" was Erckenbrack's re-
ply to the jurors question. II

say So"
Erckenbrack told of the friend
ship he had always had for the
dead girl, and interest he had TAX
en- in her welfare, and of taking
her out riding at different times.
do you think it was right to be
there alone with the maid when
your wife was away" he was
asked.
Eyes, think 1t was all right.
My wife had every confidence in
Mabel. And she trusted me-"
She Had Been Despondent.
A friend of the dead girl, Edith
Cough, testified that Mabel had
been respondent for several days,
declaring to her that life was not
worth living, and that she was in
love with Erckenbrack, and even
threatened to blow her head off.
This testimony was the only evil
dence introduced at the trial that
showed thta the girl was in love
with the shipping man and threat
ened to end her life because of the
impossibility of happiness.
