QUESTION FOR LAW SHARKS
Nice Point Concerning Ownership Of
Pearl Which Cook Discovered
In Clam She Was Eating.

A nice question Of ethics and of
law is raised by the case of the cook
at Atlantic City who clicked ON a pearl
found in clam she was eating and
whose mistress then claimed the
precious obstruction for her own.
In the diamond mines of the Rand
ut Kimberley the native workman who
swallows n diamond does not, ipsO
Gacto make it his own He digs in
the blue clay on the understanding
that every jewel discovered belongs
TO the De Beers Mining company, Ltd
But the cook was in different situa-
ton. SHE was given her food as n
part of her compensation. The pearl
is an eXcrescent part of the clam; 1t
is the picturesque result OF diseased
condition.
If possession Is nine-tenths of the
law, then the cook is entitled to the
pearl on the principle of bindings is

the house would be entitled TO boast,

HER ENUNClATl0N IN DANGER
Woman Was Beginning to Feel the
Strain of Prolonged Conversa-
ton With "Foreieners"

The Woman was visiting the family
on the event of the engagement of
the youngest daughter The family
was Bostonian by birth and tradition
but the two eldest girls had married
several years before and had left their
native city. one of them married II
Southerner and the other Westerner.
Each had acquired the accent Of her
particular locality and the children Of
the Southern couple had perfect
Southern drawl, while the other sis
ter'S children had the broad Western
accent.
The effect was startling and the
Woman could scarcely follow the con-
verSatlon. II almost seemed that
these sisters were from strange com-
tries, each speaking her own tongue.
The mother of the three girls was
moS confused, When she addressed
her Southern daughter she mcon-
Sciously affected the Southern drawl
and when she talked to her Western
son-in-law she nearly perfected the
Western accent.

Zig FOUR men IN
CALIFORNIA QUIT

San Francisco-The walkout Of "big
four" railroad brotherhood men in Cal
tfornia brought about the following de.
vclopments:
The Santa Fe lines south of Bakers
field, Cal, and as far east as Ashfork,
Ariz, were tied up completely so far
rs regular traffic was concerned. A
crew composed in part of officials
brought one train from Needles, Cal,
westward to relieve passengers Of the
hardships of summer weather in that
desert town.
The Union Pacific's line from Los
Angeles to Salt Lake City was tied up
completely, except that by special
agreement the brotherhood men moved
six trains which had been marooned
Mt desert points to places of less dis.
comfort.
The Western Pacific, running from
San Francisco to Salt Lake City, was
tied up completely.
Government inquiry into the walk.
outs was begun In Los Angeles.
At Needles and Barstow, CAL
coaches of twelve trains, marooned
when trainmen abandoned them in the
desert towns, became veritable human
bakeovens. With the temperature
ranging at 100 and with food running
out marooncd passengers suffered
much discomfort.

SHIP SUBSIDY
BILL MAY WAIT
Horse Republican Leaders Are
Still Reluctant 10 Act on
Measure.

Washington, d, C.--Reconvening of
the house Tuesday found the republi'
can leaders az reluctant to press the
administration ship subsidy bill as
they were when the recess was taken.
Although II was understood when the
recess was consented to by President
Harding that the subsidy bill, which Is
on the house calendar would be taken
up at once upon the return to work, no
plans have been made for going ahead
with II.
That the administration has taken
no steps to obtain action on the sub
sldy bill at this time Is officially ex.
planned as being due to the fact that
the president has been engrossed With
the serious situation resulting from
the railroad and coal strikes.
President Harding's threat some
months ago that he would convene con.
sress in special session in case 1t failed
to act upon the ship subsidy bill is not
likely to be a factor In the situation.
Congress long ago save up hopes OF an
early adjournment, The present seq
sion will continue until the tariff bill
Is enacted into law, which may be some
time in October. When adjournment
Is finally taken not more than few
weeks will remain before the regular
December session. While some advo.
Gates of the ship subsidy bill think
that the president may call a special
session Immediately after the election,
the general view is that but little
would be gained by this course and
that the president would center his
efforts on obtaining action at the win
ter session.

FRANK II. PAUL
SPEAKS AT THEATRE
Biz Croud Hears Him Dis
cuss The Affairs OF
The County

The meeting advertised for the
VaShon Movie Hall by Frank IL.
Paul, one Of the Republican candi.
dates for County Commissioner,
of this, the south end district,
came off as per schedule, and was
well attended. Mr.. Paul called
the house to order and asked G.
Van Olnda, cashier of the Vashon
State Bank to act as secretary.
Mr.. Paul spoke largely on the
matter of taxes and what has
been done with the money. He
opened by stating his residence
was on the Des Moincs highway
and that Morgan O'Brien lived in
his road district. Said the com
mSsionerS had about two million
dollars to use each year and dis
cuNSed the manner in which much
of it was being spent lie rather
criticised the number of offices
being maintained at county cx-
pense, claiming many of them
We're useless.
Tie told the story Of the O'Brien
family, and the amount they drew
down from the road fund for the
year 1921. 1t was a pretty big
sum, the exact figures of which
may be obtained from Mr.. Van
Olinda. He read the different
sums that had been paid a number
of island men including A. d,
Kmgsbury, Frank Kingsbury, Mr..
Landers, X. j. Field, A. Mathie-
son, G. Mathieson, Fred Fox and
William Scales. He had included
a number of these as "road boss
es" and when he found out that
the two Mathiesons, Fred Fox
and Billy Scales were only labor
ers with teams he apologized and
stood corrected
Several questions were asked
him during the evening and each
time he gave an answer He was
frequently applauded. He com
mitted himself on all matters on
which he was questioned. De-
clarcd he favored the shore line
road from Mileta to Dockton, the
crawling of the road to Table
quah, the construction of the road
in Paradise Valley to connect the
Lisabeula road with the Center
highway, and repeated again and
again that if elected the three
Vashon-Maury road bosses would
be fired. "
Mr.. Paul was escorted over the
island by G. X. Coryell and peo-
pie were at his meeting from
about every neighborhood on both
islands.
