WOMEN ON TEXAS SUPREME COURT
Three Appointed When Male Judges Arc Disqualiflcd-Women At
 Zenith of Power in State.

By Tho Associated Press.
 Austin, Texas, Jan. 31.-- Women in Texas reached the zenith of their power here yesterday in state af- fairs.
 While one was in the governors chair, three others gravely sat as the first woman's supreme court in the country. They heard arguments in a case involving S15,OO0 and the construction of the law as it related to an unrecorded declaration of trust. At the end they judicialIy an- nounced the case had been taken under advisement.
 The judges to whom the attorneys made their arguments were Mrs. Hortens E. Ward of Houston, spe- cial chief justice; Miss Hattie Hen- nenberg, Dallas, and Miss Ruth Brazzill, Galveston, associate jus tices: All are practicing attorneys. The regular men justices of the court had disqualified themselves be- cause they were members of the fraternal order which was party to the litigations.

DENY LILLIAN GISH
 ENGAGED TO DUELL
Attorney Says Rumor Shows Length to Which Ducli Will Go to
 Secure Her Services

New York, Jan. S1.-Intimations that Charles II; Duell was engaged to Miss Lillian Gish, screen star against whom he filed suit seeking to prevent her from making motion pictures except under her contract with him, were discussed today in statements issued by their attorneys.
 The wholly unwarranted pre- sumption that MT. Duell hoped to win the favor of Miss Gish's hand" said her attorney in his statement. lis some indication of the length to which the gentleman is now willing to go in order to coerce her into working for him. It would perhaps have been more fitting if he had sued her for breach of promise rather than having adopted an in direct means of forcing her to work for him."
 Mr. Duell, who is a member of an old Knickerbocker family and a relative of Elihu Root, was divorced in Paris and after the divorce there were repeated reports that he and Miss Gish were to marry. Mrs. Duell was Miss Lillian Tucker of Pasadena, Calf. She was also an actress.
 In a statement in behalf of Mir. Duell it was said he made the con- tract with Miss Gish because he re- garded himself as engaged to her. MT, Duell simply does not know why she refused to make pictures under him." the Duell statement said.

FIERY CHARIOT IS
 NOT POPULAR NOW
Elijah's Spectacular Joy Ride Would Not Meet With Approval
 of Modern Police.

Blaubeuren, Bavaria, Jan. 10. -- The second day of advent brought great excitement to this village, as an elderly man and wife had an. nounced that they would ascend direct to heaven at that time. The man and wife gave away all their possessions, abandoned their work, and stood In readiness on hilltop, surrounded by curious villagers. At noon the sun burst through the clouds and the aged couple expect ed the fiery chariot to appear just as it did for Elijah nearly 5000 years ago.
 But it was policemen instead of charioteers who appeared and the aged couple and curious spectators were sent home to take up their ] everyday task.
