True bills were found against George Fendrieh, who was charged with ua ing a false weight;" Nettie Kidding!, who was charged with larceny from a dwelling and also witfc burglary; Leon ard WeBtfall and Albert Collins. Regarding the ease of Asa Tindall, who was charged with "'Involuntary manslaughter" in connection with the death of Ethel Rigdon, District At torney Gehlhar said he was surprised at the action of the grand jury as he expected a true bill would be found. Although what happened behind the doors where the jury was holding its session usually remains a secret, it has been rumored that from unofficial sources the vote for the indictment was close. With the jury of seven men, it requires a vote of at least five to bring the indictment, and in this caec it is reported only one vote was lacking. trank F. Kreutz, who was charccd with assault with intent to rape, in connection with the lean of Miss Clara Rauscher from the second story of the align Hotel to the pavement, was discharged with a verdict of 'not a true bill." In the case of JoseDh T;,a , . . ... umieia, wno was cnargea with assault with- dangerous weapon, ''not a true Dill" was returned. One secret indictment was returned.

ARIZONA HAS GREAT POLITKAL MUBDLE Each Governor Wi Seed e to Legislarure- If There Is Any Phoenix, Aria., Jan. . The most chaotic legislative session in the his tory of the United States is scheduled to begin Monday, for the supreme eourt today deferred until next week its decision in the proceedings to settle the Hunt-Campbell gubernatorial con troversy. Both Tom Campbell, given 30 plur ality by the official conrt aad George W. P. Hunt, claiming the offiee pend ing settlement of his contest, will send gubernatorial messages to the legisla ture Monday, each claiming the pre rogative. No legislative program has yet been discussed, but an attempt will be made to frame this at caucus meetings tomorrow. An attempt will he made Monday, it is believed, to secure a sine die ad journment, owing to unprecedented circumstances in the state. It is doubtful if this will succeed. Others favor an adjournment from day to day. Leadership is lacking among the legislators, although there are several candidates for speaker of the house und president of the senate. No one will undertake to say what attitude the legislature will take toward the j contest Governor Hunt the house. The ! either wav. will likely control senate will be close, J " Vancouver Has Half Million Dollar Fire Vancouver, B- C, Jan. 6.

Although the fire swept with uncon- hmm speed tnrough the various floors of the Mercantile block, the fire men were successful in keeping the flames from spreading to other struc tures and at noon all dancer was over. Mr. Frank Parsons, assistant manag er, estimates the loss at approximately $500,000, practically all covered by fire. 2,000 Half Dollars of New Design In Banks If you hare the price, you may carry a half dollar in your pocket and it will be one entirely different from that of your neighbor. For today the Ijadd & Bush bank and the IT. S. Na-, tionnl bank each received a shipment of the latest half dollar out, one just coined at the San Francisco mint. One thousand of the new coins were re ceived by each of the, banks and when these arc paid out there won't be any more very soon for circulation, as the issue is limited. On the obverse side, the side with the principal inscription. there is the regulation American eagle with rather large wings and feet, Also the old standby, 'E Plnribus Ununi."

(Written for the United Press.) Alack, her lack of lacquer' Stamps a lady as passe, For everything ia laequered That is up to date today. New York, Jan. 5. Every Yiddish artist and decorator in New York is kept busy these days turning out genuine real old antique Chinese Lacquer" tables, chairs, mirror frames, desks, cabinets, bedsteads, and what not, (not whatnots however). To be sure there are a greaat mauy true Chinese pieces also, for the astute Chinamen, taking ndrantage of the foreed stoppage of imports from bellig erent countries, have simply swamped our market with the glories of their arts, consequently Chinese lacquers and embroideries are to be met with at every turn for the better or turn to the right. But with such svidity have the American lovers of the beautiful gob bled up the wares from China that the Chinks can fill only a few chinks of the popular demand. Hence the abundance of homegrown or Hobraic lacquers that defy detection cvrn when placed alongside an original. After all thy too are redolent o the east even if it is only the East side. The most popular lacquer is in the gold on black or red but gold on old blue or a soft grey green is also very effective. Whole rooms are lovely done in lacquer and especially bed rooms and dining rooms with Chinese rugs and Chinese embroideries to car ry out the Oriental atmosphere. Lac quer floor lamps are beautiful with pagoda shaped shades of silk and the lacquer mirrors beggar description. Certainly anyone holding the mirror up to nature ought to be sure it in a . lacquer one. Set a serene and wise eyed Buddha on a lacquer stand and back him up with a Chinese mirror on the wall and you have an artistic touch in your Hv' iug room that is hard to beat this side of the Cliiucse wall. There are lacquer candle sticks and lacquer trays, after seeing which Ot will exclaim " (he Deuce take all other trays." There are lacquer screens to screen fires and boudoir secrets and lacquer picture frames fittingly beau tiful to encase Him or Her. When it- comes to boxes this is where lacouer really shines, especially when it is built to anshine different sorts of shoe polish or mv lady's jewels. For holding things that go up in smoke like coal, wood, cigarettes, cigars or love letters lacquer boxes arc alluring in all shapes and sires. Prom the head to the foot of the box class, hat boxes and shoe, boxes of lacquer sell with alacrity. Work boxes, candy boxes and powder boxes are so lovely of lacquer that evjen Pandora herself would have been so entranced with their external beauties that sho never would have yearned to see what was inside. Even Vic.trolns are all dressed up in black and gold or red and gold lacquer cases until they have become veritable Chinese music boxes with every thing except, thank Heavens, the music, Chinese. All right here it is only meet to an nounce that the. lid is surely off when. it comes to candy be lhat the hinnlil tinxes. It used to box of pasteboard was an adequate receptacle for sweets to the sweet but not in 1!17. Next to the lacquer candy box in populnrity is the. ornate box of brocade, gold lace and French ribbon flowers or the Chinese silk covered box, gay with vjnri colored heads and CliCineee tas sels. Cretonne, boxes are effective and the hand pailttad wood boxes of the Russian peasants show vivid bits of color that enhance the beauty of nest ling chocolate bonbons 1o perfection. Hand painted tin boxes, round and long, short and tall, fat and thick, ob long and octagon came in all color eftsjfsM and designs and have the fur ther advantage of keeping the enclosed 'sweetmeats fresh and moist, "uch a , nox wj kee. them from the ravages of fjm(l if not from the ravages of f(Ba)a unhampered by subservianci; Ao (ft aild (,row Thin." These tin boxes and also the more elaborate brocade und ga oon covered esare,-.ake boxes as well. You may not be able to eat your cake and have it but now you can cat your cake and W(i th b ", This is decidedly worth while for these boxes certainly are the dearest things.

The heads of the Liu 'four brotherhoods, representing rail way employes of the country have been empowered to take such action as they i may see fit in the situation growing out of the delay in recognition of the Adamson eight hour law, according to J.

Bertrand declared all eastern locals had held meetings during the past week at which the various chairmen placed fat! authority for action io the hauds of the brotherhood chiefs. SECRETARY EXPLAINS IT Washington, Jan. 8. Appearing be fore the senate and house im-nigration committees today, Secretary Lansing urged that the language of the immigra tion bill a passed by the senate be re tained and no reference made directly AMERICAN PATRIOTS ARE NO!

Advocates in congress of government manufacture of all war munitions today literally de nounced American manufacturers who were outbid tSOO per proper tile by a British firm in navy department hid for 16-inch shells "It only emphasizes," Representa tive M K. liar.

They have slipped up. "Let the government, if it has to buy from private concerns, buy where it can buy the cheapest," The British bids, Representative Hull, Iowa, declared, should opou the eyes of the government snd the people. "It is folly," he said, "to place further re liance in private manufacturers," Many Hogs Shipped From Donald Vicinity That Donald is quite a shipping point for livestock has been known to a great many for some time, but there is little doubt but that few in this vicinity fully realize the magnitude of the industry at this plsce. The fre quent brief notices published in the Record from time to time to the ef fect that J. E. Smith shipped an other carload of hogs Friday" con vey but a meager idea as to what ia really going on in that line. The fact is, during the past several months Mr. Smith has boen sending a full carload of hogs from this place every week, and occasionally a bunch of cattle also. The prices he has been paying are the highest obtainable, and for each load ho sent he distributes an averago of $1800 among the farmers. This will amount to more than $7,000 per month. If that amount was paid out in some small towns they would snout their hearts off about payroll. Last Friday he sent out. his usual consignment, consisting of about sev enty head of hogs, all of which were the very choicest to be found. Thoso who furnished this number were Oeo. Speight, six, which averaged 300 pnuuds each. W. T. Coleman brought five, totalling 1720 pounds. X N. McKay, fi, weighing 1240; Wm. Porter, 5, at OHO; Fred Dentil, four, going 750 pounds, A. J. Scboltz had fifteen totalling 24,50; P. Hunt of Au rora, brought in 2, at a total of 450; W. H. Ebcrman, 4 at (Mill pounds. Hen ry Zorn furnished 7, tipping the scabs at 1.150. L P. Swan, two, .125; B. M. Smith, 8, 1400; and O. Benson two ut 440. Mh. Smith also received a num ber that day which he decided to keep a while before shipping. The fact that it pays to keep only the best stock, and fntten them on corn, stands out more prominently than ever. It there is liny doubt about it, a little, bit of investigation will show who is getting the, best, results.--Donald Hecord. to the exclusion of Japanese.

Germans Doubt Neutrals Are Co-Operating for Peace Alone (United Press staff correspondent i Berlin, Jan. 6.- The discussion in congress i.t Washington of America 's international relations, following iho recent peace notes, has resulted in thn belief in some quarters that the United stni.'. and the allies are gradually drifting togother, rather than that t her United Htates and uentrala are cooper ating for peace. This brtief has been aroused especially by the discussion, of a change in America's international and political policy which would msko foreign alliances possible. The kaiser has declared in a state ment that the entente reply may lie considered a refusal of Germany ' protfer of peace. This view is echo.-.
