conditions. judges and court en-
ployes today admitted that they are
substantially as outlined and are
heartily in favor Of legislation that
will tend to relieve the congestion.
Blanton visited the court Monday
morning when arrests from both
Saturday ana Sunday damned the
cells and corridors. He was forced
to weave his way through seeth-
ing mass Of humanity and the court
rooms were 30 crowded that it was
necessary for maay to stand. and
as many more wait in the corridors
for admittance.
Judge George III. Macdonald said
that this was terrible condition
but called attention to the fact it Is
never as bad on other days as on
Monday.
This congestion Ii due to lack of
appropriations, and not to neglect
on the part Of the court. 1t was
said by attaches.

what?
For the life of her, May couldn't
finish the thoughe. Utterly baffled,
almost panicky, she turned away
quickly and walked back toward the
hotel. u,
Breathlessly she sank into one Of
the deep velvet chairs in the lobby,
and leaned back with closed eyes TO
listen to the music.
"My, but Pm sick Of jazz, aren't
you?" asked a soprano voice beside
her. And May opened her eyes to
see blond, plump woman with
babyish blue eyes, sitting in the
chair beside her.
"That isn't jazz they're playing.
It's Brahms" May answered. She
knew thing or two about music
real music.
"Well, wish the orchestra would
take something for it. 1t sounds like
a nervous breakdown they're hav-
ing" the woman said, peevishly.
"When there are so many pretty
things like The Indian Love Call
I don't see why they play such stuff
as that, do you?"
81 like it," May answered. She
bent her head to listen to the music
that seemed to sweep around her in
tide.
She looked up to see Herbert
Waterbury coming down the lobby.
His eyes were fixed upon her and
he seemed to be coming straight to-
ward her.
With a curious calm, May watched
him come.
He paused beside her CHAR, and
she felt sure that he was Going 10
speak to her.
A mixed feeline Of dull amer. ir-
dignation, and excitement filled her,
then.
'Hello," she beard him say and
as she looked up, she felt 4 hot flush
sweeping up over her breast and
neck. to the roots Of her hair.
Then, with intense relief, she saw
that he was rot ADDRESSING her, but
was looking down at the little blond,
lbabvish woman Who sat beside her.
Hello, Herby,' the little blond
