SACRAMENTO. Cal. April 10
Defense attorneys in the impeach-
ment trial Of Superior Judge Carlos
s. HARDY we're puzzled today by the
surprise move" of the senate
prosecuting board IN refusing TO call
Aimee Semple Mcpherson as a
prosecution witness.
The fiery-haired Angelus Temple
evangelist. whose mysterious dis
appearance three years ago even
tUally led to the present impeach-
ment trial Of her friend. Judge
Hardy. was definitely excused as a
prosecution witness by the senate
board in a signed statement.
The statement in part said that
at hearing IN Los Angeles. Mrs.
Mcpherson proved an evasive wit
ness, and the board feels that it is
not desirable to further consume the
time CT the senate in examining a
witness who, at most, will only state
facts already proven and then only
after an examination Of the nature
Of a cross examination
Suspicious of Move
Attorney Rex Hardy, son of the

the prosecution move.
we will reserve our decision on
calling Mrs. Mcpherson until later,
when We figure out what the as
sembly board of managers IS trying
to do" young Hardy said.
The prosecution probably will rest
its case before noon today after the
testimony of Bernice Morris. secre-
tary to j. W. Mckinley, blind Long
Beach attorney, who claimed he was
approached by two men purporting
to be kidnaperS of Mrs. Mcpherson.

Judge Hardys testimony at the
Los Angeles investigation of Mrs.
NcPherson's disappearance was read
into the records shortly before ad-
jourument Wednesday.
In that testimony the lurlst told
Of his dealings with Mrs. Lorraine
Wiseman Seilaff, mystery woman
in the Mcpherson case, who earlier
in the week charged that Judge
Hardy arranged with her to produce
an "aubi" for the evangelist.
The transcript also showed that
Judge Hardy admitted instructing

case, to interview parents of Ken

train was not due from Winter Ha-
ven until 1910. There was = great
pile of letters on the floor, beneath
the slot in the door, but there was
something Ruth had to do before she
opened, read and sorted the mail.
She had not forgotten the pigeons
this time. Benny Smith had not ar
rived, although he was supposed to
open the offices at nine o'clock
sharp. Of course he was taking adj
vantage Of Borden's absence.
Ruth took the dried sponge out OF
the little glass dish on her desk, then
er:rtied into it an envelope of pea.
nuts and a larger package Of
crumbs. Satan and his harem should
have feast and not have to wait
until noon for it, either!
Smiling, she opened the door be-
tween her office and Borden's pri-
vate office and, with the glass dish
in her hand, stepped across the
threshold.
The CHASTITY spectacle that met
her eyes robbed her Of all power of
motion for the moment, and the pi-
geons Of their meal. The glass dish
fell to the floor, the peanuts and
crumbs scattering upon the thick
velvet rug. But Ruth did not
sec them, for her eyes were fixed
in trance of horror upon the thing
that lay near the window on the
floor.

Ignite BRIQUE7TE
PLANT AT LEHGH IS
REACHING SHIPPING
Will Experiment With 1900
Tons Of Montana Coal for
Northern Pacific Co.

The Lehigh hriquetting plant Is
getting well adjusted and the lig-
mite briquettes are reported being
turned with smooth finish that
was absent in the initial run. MIR.
Johnson, of the plant, had some spec
linens in Bismarck. They look like
graphite eggs.
DIR. Mueller. the president of the
Lurgi corporation in the United
States, visited the plant and Bis
marck last Thursday, leaving here
Friday on his return to New York.
The company is going to make a
test of 1900 tons of the coal mined
from the stripped workings at Coal
strip. Montana. by Foley Brothers,
st. Paul, for the Northern Pacific.
The briquettes will then be tried out
on N. p. locomotives. to see what
results the company might obtain
from using the process on the Mon
tana coal. It Is believed that bril-
quoted fuel superior to the raw pro-
duct will be obtained, as the Mon
tana Ignite is of higher quality than
the Dakota. The company is using
vast amounts in the natural state In
its locomotives.
The plant distributed some Of the
briquettes in Dickinson. Ernest l..
Peterson, Of the Dickinson Press, re-
ports fine results. with hardly an
ash, while good heat was obtained.
Next week the company expects to
make its first shipment of q carload.
AS soon as possible it plans to add
four carbonizing units to the plant.
There is one in operation now.

THIS HAS HAPPENED

RUTH LESTER, beautiful
secretary to "HANDSOME
HARR Y" BORDEN, suspects
her employer Of shady stock
dealings and would resign but
for a romance that springs UP
between her and JACK HAY
WARD. whose office is just
across the narrow airshaft from
Bcrden's. On a Saturday morn
ing in January she informs
BENNY SMITH, office boy, of
her engagement to Jack.
When Borden comes in. Ruth
hands him an orchid tinted en-
velope which he impatiently
thrusts into his pocket and
greets with an oath her infor-
nation that the woman with
the beautiful contralto voice"
called him. Ruth gets $500 from
the bank and two tickets with
drawing-room for Winter Haven
for Borden.
RITA DUBOIS. night club
dancer. who is to accompany
Borden to the resort, calls dur.
ing the morning. Another call
er is MRS. BORDEN. the pro-
moter's wife and mother of his
two children. Borden forces her
to ask him for her monthly ali
mcny on a certain date. Learn
ing Borden is busy, the wife
agrees to return about 80. but
before she leaves she glimpscs a
pistol in Ruth's desk.
When Rita leaves Borden
waves goodby with the torn half
of a bank note, reminding her
of certain bargain. While
Ruth is taking Borden's dicta-
ton he makes a playful pass at
her and she screams. Jack in
the opposite office hears her and
becomes violently angry at Bor-
den. She meets Jack for lunch
con but forgets her bank book
and rushes back to the office
where she bruises her lip. She
has a difficult time convincing
Jack that Borden did not hurt
her. While they are lunching.
Jack discovers &c has left the
theater tickets on his desk and
he returns to get them.

So"
Freeman raised the question as to
how the state would meet an emer-
gency with its present small reserve
fund. Swendseid responded that the
matter would be cared for by appro-
priation at the following session of
the legislature as provided for in the
bill.
In which case the Taxpayer pays
the freight" Freeman said.
II it Is not good business for outside
insurance companies to go ahead
without a greater reserve than that
represented in the fire and tornado
fund, 1t is not good business for the
state to do SO, Twichell added.
Twichcll and Swendseid again
locked horns over the Jardine bill, for
oil leases on land obtained by the
state through mortgage foreclosure
Swendseid opposed the proposed act
J because he said he believed the state
should hold its oil lands. Twichell
maintained that it was better for big
outside companies to take the risk OF
digging for oil in the state rather
than the taxpayers and that leases
would bring revenue to the state.

Burkhart maintained that q limit
should be placed upon the amount Of
land which could be leased. Lee de-
clared his opposition to the bill.
