Hopes Money Goes
Those are his assets or liabilities,
whichever way you want to look at
it, and Mrs. Court, at her home to-
day, was quick to admit: I'll be glad
when the last several thousand dol
lars are gone"
Between last years beariSh stock
market, the buying of a mine with
out getting it all in writ1n'," and the
expenditure of $4,000 in the barbe-
cue stand and a filling station that
haven't paid for the knobby stones
used in the barbecue chimney that
doesn't barbecue, Mrs. Court eX-
plains the sponging up of their Tri-
go coin.
I'VE had most Of the money we
got in bonds. Well, when we'd try to
sell the bonds we lost, sometimes
$10O to 5000 on each bond. They
said the bonds would be good at
their face value, but only some OF

good.
Uncle on Farm

acre farm. My husband bought the
mine after he bought out here near
Noblesville. It's a spar mine. 1
don't know just what that is, but it
comes out of the ground like rock
crystal. They use it to harden steel.
MY husband met the man when
he came to our house after hearing
about our winning the money.
Arthur's down in Illinois now, in
court, trying to get the controlling
interest. He hired chauffeur tC

you see, the fellow that owned
the mine and sold my husband a
half interest didn't put it all in
writin' and we got to feelin' he just
was trying to get Arthur's money to
finance it."
She told how the filling station
and barbecue stand were erected.
But the barbecue didn't draw
any business, SO we decided to build
a dance hall addition to the barbe-
cue stand to see if it wouldn't help.
Yes, the barbecue stand is right
new building. Yes, We'll have to
tear out the back of the barbecue
to add the dance hall. It'll cost
about $4,000.
Open House Planned
1--WE ought to open the dance hall
in March. Then we're going to have
a regular open house. Old time fid-
dlerS will be here from southern In
diana and everything will be free, 3"
I'VE call this Trigo Unjust try

asserted.
Arthur Junior is running the
barbecue stand and Hollis-he's the
oldest-the gasoline station. Then
well have A1yie with us soon. Alvie's
been in the army down on Honolulu.
But he went in as a minor and
we're getting him out, SOS he can
help out on the farms. He farmed
some before he went in the army.
We've got six others growing up"

COUNTY OFFICE
employees SUE
FOR PAY ORDER
Clerks Budget Slash Basis
for 27 Complaints
Against Council.

Twenty-seven employees of County
Clerk George o. Hutsell today re-
sorted TO court action to obtain SAL
airy requests which the county coun-
Gil denied six months ago.
Action was taken in twenty-seven
mandate suits filed before Superior
Judge James NJ. Leathers, seeking
TO compel the council to hold a spe-
cial meeting to appropriate salary
items which have been slashed from
Hutsell's budget.
If the action is successful. more
than $4,000 will be added to the
yearly salaries of Hutsell's en-
ployes, some of whom witnessed
their salary for 1890 cut below the
1929 mark.
Councils action in cutting Hut
sells budget from $40 100 to 100000
at a session in September last year
is generally interpreted as a po-
litical chaStisement for his failure
to line up with the Coffin faction
Of the council.
Mandate Asked
The suits, identical in form, seek
a court order mandating County Au-
ditor Harry Dunn to call the coun-
Gil into special session. and further,
to mandate the council to allow
HUtSell's original budget request.
Dunn, with members of the cOun-
Gil and county commissioners are
named defendants.
Allegations are made in the COM
plants that the salary of no clerk
exceeds 5000 a month, and that
the council "Wrongfully and unlaw
fully reduced salaries in several in
stances to wages lower than county
employees have received for several
years.
It is charged further that a re-
consideration of Hutsell's budget by
the council in January met with
neglect and refusal on part of in
dividual councilmen.
Hutsells total force of deputies
numbers thirty-five and the suits
are brought IN Dendu OF IWeDCp-
seven of that humber who were al
fected by the budget cutting.
Anti Coffin
They include: One chief deputy, a
chief clerk and bOokkeeper, six typ
lists, fifteen clerks in superior and
civil municipal court, two file clerks,
a probate court clerk, the marriage
license clerk and copy clerk.
HutSell in politics is regarded as
one OF the strongest anti-Coffin
political forces in Marion county
politics. and his adherence to the
stand is believed to have provoked
the council into the indirect rebuke.
Similar action will be taken soon
in behalf of nine juvenile court pro-
baton officers whose pay was re-
duced by the council on the same
political ground.
Hearing date on the suits has not
been set.

cuisine long enough to touch his forehead with grimy finger.
 MT. Winslow's been askin' for you, sir" he volunteered. Want your car washed tonight, sir?"
 NO thanks, Peter; I'll probably need the car" and gathering up the magazines he had purchased for Elsa that morning, he walked away. To the right of the garage was the gardeners cottage. Instead of going direct to the big mansion, Jack crossed the lawn to the small house, but his repeated rap on the kitchen door brought no response. Finally he turned over the door mat; the key, which generally lay concealed there in Ferguson's ab- sence from the cottage, was miss ing. Through the window Jack ob- tained a glimpse of the telephone, placed there for the convenience Of the men working on the grounds, but as he turned away in disgust; evidently he would have to use the telephone at home.
 A moment later Lambert, the but Ter, opened the front door before Jack could get out his latch key.
 Miss Klines wishin' to see you, sir" he spoke in subdued tones. She's waiting beyond in the din- ing room"
 "Is anything ile mater with Elsa?" Jacks ever present fears for his fiancee's health gained the upper hand and his tone bespoke his alarm; it was but seldom that Miss Kline discussed her patient with him
The Daily Alaska empire., 1930-09-02

Inspector Mitchell is very anxious to meet you, MT. Winslow; in fact, we have been waiting for you"
 Indeed" Jacks gruff tones were not overly cordial and Mitchell re- garded him with an appraising eye. Jack stood six feet, two inches in his stockings and his broad shoul- ders and deep chest gave clear in dication of his athletic tendencies.
 I'd like a few moments conver- sation," stated Mitchell briskly, as his companion remained silent. He glanced up and down the hall sig nificantly. Your room here?" with wave of his hand toward the open door.
 Yes; come inside" But once within his room, Jack did not ask either man to sit down. What can do for you?"
 We want your version of what happened last night" said Mitchell, blandly.

The nurse hesitated. She's ner- vous and unstrung," she admitted; and that will react on her gen. eral condition" Again Miss Kline paused T have thought for some time that a warmer climate would be the best for her"
 You mean she should go south to Florida" breaking In impetuously
 Get her away soon," she begged earnestly If she won't go without you, arrange to accompany us. This tragedy here-Dr. Kane's death with an expressive gesture, it is sure to have most disastrous eff feet upon her nerves and the slight est agitation might mean"
 Don't" Jack raised his hand, half imploringly, let us keep the news from her"

 "In her room. asleep"
 To Jack as he trudged upstairs the atmosphere of the house seemed sombre; the electric lights had not been turned on and the gathering storm clouds, with a promise of snow, had darkened the horizon adding to the general gloom. Jack was not ordinarily affected by weather changes, but he was con- scious of a sense of depression very foreign to his usually even tempera- ment. As he stopped at his bed room, door further down the hall opened and Thorne, followed by h. spector Mitchell, came toward him Just a moment" the former ex- claimed, quickening his footsteps,

 "What's that you say?' came Jacks clear voice, carrying hint of impatience Fathers in confer ence = what? Lambert, speak loud CT; well, don't shout! Can I speak to Miss Elsa? What" in his exas- peration Jack thumped the tele- phone stand. Central, give me q better connection. Lambert, you fool, speak into the telephone. Did the messenger get to the house with Miss Elsa's medicine? He did' All right, I'll be home soon"
 But it was some seconds before Jack left the booth and in that time, the woman evesdropper was safely across the bank. Jacks SUD- seuuent interview with one of the tellers sent him with puckered brow to another window. Then walking over to one of the high mahogany desks, he proceeded to fill blank note. With expert adroitness the same woman wormed her way to his side and under pretense of writ ing a check at the long desk she read the document lying in front oi him.

i. s. TRAFFIC WASTE.
BELIEVED z BILLION
Conference Sees Three Fac
tors Causing Highway
Congestion.

Estimating the economic waste from
trafflc delays, congestion and accidents
at So, 900 900 900 a year, or $50 for each
man, woman and child, the general
committee for relief of trafdc congestion
of the National Conference on Street
and Highway Safety Is trying in
conferences at the Chamber OF Com
merce of the United States to ind
way out of the tangled maze OF auto
mobile congestion on the highways Of
the Nation.
Three factors contribute to the con-
gestion problem, the committee found.
Higher buildings with increasing densi-
ties of population, the tremendous in
crease in the use of the automobile
and longer distances that are being
travelled by motor were held responsible
for most of the traffic jams. Three
buildings In process Of construction on
three adjacent blocks in New York'S
midtown section will have combined
normal daytime population of $4,000
persons Concentration of people in
the business areas of towns and cities,
the committee held, is taking place in
corresponding ratio through the ten
dency to erect larger and taller build
ings and put the ground in business
districts to more intensive use.
George w. Elliott, general secretary
Of the Philadelphia Chamber of Com
merce, said the traffic problem with
which the cities and urban communities
have grappled in recent years rapidly
is being transferred to the rural high
ways and presents problem Of press
ing Importance.
The committee discussed formation
of unoficial trafic committees in towns
and cities, to cooperate with the po-
lice and other public authorities IN
dealing with the problem Of safety,
and suggested that special attention
be given to the growing congestion Of
rural and cross-country highways.
Lewis A. De Blois of New York and
Arthur NJ. Hill Of Charleston, w. Va,
joined in declaring the problem can
not be handled by the police alone,
but must engage the cooperation Of
the entire public
z. j. Mehren, vice president of the
