CARMODY DISMISSED
ON TRAFFIC ARREST
Lawyer Freed Because of Techni-
cality in Drawing of
Papers.

Directing to being refused permis-
sion to make left turn at Vermont
avenue and H street yesterday by Po-
liceman T. E. Marquis. who was direct
ing trafic during a society wedding at
st. Johns Church, John j. Carmody,
local attorney, was arrested for refus-
ing to obey an officers signal. only to
have the case against him dismissed
because of faulty information by
Judge Robert E. Mattingly yesterday.
The papers under which Carmody
was charged accused him of failing
to obey an officers signal to stop" but
the policeman himself admitted the
man not only stopped. but remained
motionless until directed to proceed.
Carmody drove north on Madison
Place and tried to make a left turn
into H street. Policeman Marquis. who
was only permitting public utility We
hicles and machines going to the we'd
ding of Princess Cantacuzene and John
Hanbury- Williams to proceed down H
street, directed the man to go straight
ahead. Carmody demurred. and was
told to draw over to the curb. This hc
also refused to do on the ground that
there was fire plug there. Finally he
drove under the officers orders to the
third precinct.
Carmody was represented in court by
his law partner, p. H. Marshall.

mo charges have been placed against
the woman. according to Captain OF
Inspectors L. B. Davis. but it is al
legged that she is suspected Of holding
important information which she has
declined to divulge and which, in the
opinion Of police. may have q bearing
on the case"
Thank God!" breathed Peter. And
added, "Idiot!"
He was ashamed of his own relief
a relief which left him light-hearted to
the pitch of giddiness Had he lost all
sense of proportion, Of probability? He
decided. ruefully. that he evidently had.
But his absurd buoyancy. as If heavy
rock had come hurtling down in the
direction Of his head and had then
miraculously missed him. persisted.
Because she's old and poor and
probably dowdy, they call her the

smile. IF she'd been young and be-
longed in the fur coat class, she'd have
been Mrs. Kane throughout. Lord,

spectfully did Peter refer to one of the
foremost psychiatrists Of the United
States.
"Piper!' The voice of the city edi-
tor blared. like the blast of a trumpet
considerably of key.
At the sound, Peter was his alert
nonchalant, lounging self again.
Present or accounted for" he
grinned as he strolled over to the city
desk
II want you to get an interview with
this Kane woman. Get her picture if
you can. You can take a camera man
with you, but you'd better leave him

"Cheerio!" he said gayly. "In other

The city editor had already seized

Peter.

In Defense of a Lady.

Mr. Timmins hesitated before the
door. The place was empty. Should he
go in? 1t looked clean enough, but
hand ready to press the latch, he
waited uncertainty. shifting his feet.
1t was truly an unsavory neighbor-
hood Mr.. Timn1ins would have chosen
but then around the coffee urn and
in behind the counter she came. Mr..
Timmins swallowed twice-and de-
cided.
He stood his umbrella carefully in a
corner, placed his overShoes side by
side, the toes in the same direction
beneath it. Then his footsteps pat
tered over the shiny linoleum and he
climbed up to the high counter.
I'll take IA cup OF sandwich and
a ham coffee" blinked Mr. Timmins,
obviously. swimming in the warmth of
bluebell-blue eyes.
He watched her hands and her
strong round arms as she spread and
cut and poured How white-how very
white she was where the Swirls of blue
black hair curved to her neck! What
breadth Of shoulders and strength of
frame!
"It's a nice night" he offered, shyly
as she set the plate and cup before
him.

she beamed down at him. her voice
burning with the faintest touch Of de-
licious brogue. She wiped two crumbs

Mr.. Timmins nodded and bit into his
sandwich. His eyes followed her.

what color She went competently
from side to side. cleaning up. wiping.

every motiont
Now If only he-Why couldn't he?
Mr.. TimminS' chest began to expand.
He blinked again, slowly. thoughtfully.
The door opened. A huge, lounging
fellow with a dirty face and swaying
shoulders swung a leg over one of the

strange words that Mr. Tin1mins did
not understand
Nora OFlynn stood-just stood-with
a look that should have withered. Then
she turned and crossed the small space
to the other counter and began to make
sandwiches.
Dirty Face followed. He reached
over and tried to take her hand. Down
came the knife with a vicious rap. His
hand jerked back just in time.
Mr.. Timmins swallowed. Nora was
coming toward him. Did she expect
was she looking at him? Dirty Face
edged around the corner again.

The big fellow suddenly loonned

There was a sudden tremendous jar.
Mr.. Timmins' world turned black.
For time he wandered in space.
Then light came and he heard Nora's
voice.

something cold and satisfyingly wet on

Committe Points Out Objections to

CCopyrisht, 1o2G.D

SAN FRANCISCO CP).-The world
at large is soon to be informed that
there are II "Friscos" in the United
States, but that none of these towns
or cities is located in California.
A committee representing the Cali
fornia Club. joined by the Daughters
of California Pioneers Club. is en-
gagged in compiling a folder to accom-
pliSh this very purpose.
In 1905 the same infllymces brought
forth from the State Legislature an
appeal to President Roosevelt and the
Postmaster General urging that Span
ish names given to cities and towns
be preserved. but it is found the use
of the Objectionable abbreviation is
again becoming current.
To those who contend that Frisco"
is a diminutive implying affection
more or less, the answer is to be given
that this particular city was named
after a saint and that 1t is unbecom-
ing to give a saint nickname.
