Many people after taking the bids on the conairuc tlon of their homes find It nhcesaary to leave out some of the featurea. reduce it In site or use a chaper grade of materials In order to cut down the cost, because they pro crastinated loo long and obtained their eatlmatea during the rush of the building season.

TAKES BLAME FHOM THE POLICE Holds that Taylor Alone Is Responsi ble for the Mliap, with Affldar- Ita Klatlnar Ksaetly Dif ferent Faete. j Exonerating Attorney -.Tohn O. Telser of j the charges of subornation of perjury and ; exonerating Detective Steve Maloney and j the police department of the charges of.j threats and coercion to force the signing of an untruthful affidavit. Judge Willis O.j Sears tit district court Saturday morning 1 placed all the blame for the Taylor perjury.' muddle on the shoulders of Taylor himself. I After completing the hearing of the case, Judge Sears first sustained the motion for a new trial made by A. O. Elllck, repre senting the Title Guaranty and Surety com pany, and then dismissed the rase. The c.ise of William f.' Taylor against John Filanck and the Title Guaranty and Surely company was an action against a ealoon keeper and his bondsman for losses sustained by reason of the plaintiff's drunkenness from liquor purchased from trolled by the laws of tuipply and demand, the same as all saleable things. The cheep-! time of the year to buy a fur overcoat Is In the spring. The cheapest time to let the contract for mill work Is In the winter. Mills always csrry a certain class of expert workmen the year round whether there Is work for them to do or not. When work la slack In winter time they will take orders on a cloee margin, In order to clear even and not have to carry their best men through the quiet season at a loss. -Starting with February 1 building ma- I terlals begin to advance. Llkewlae the accumulation of nrdeia Inclines the con tractors to charge higher profits as the reason Rdancex. It Is a very common exierlence among architects along In March, April and May and dicing the summer to have their clients' orders turned down by the best contractors (who are a'waya the busiest ones) with some thing like this: "I would like very much la accommodate you, Mr. Blank, by giv ing your client an estimate on his home, but what Is the use of figuring when I know that I cannot possibly get the men i to do the work if I should get the Job? I I'nless I want to take In a lot of hatchet I carpenters, and I know that you would not stand for that kind of work." The result la that Mr. Slow-to-Oet-Busy Home builder has to take estimates from the second or third-grade contractors, who have no scruples about employing "hatchet csrpenters" as long as tliev csn gt the more to get Ills work done by "iMtche1 work out and get their money.

Ultchle negotiating the settlement. When this defense was made In-the course of the -trial, Taylor I nnd his wife took the witness stand and declared that Ritchie Induced Taylor Uri rlgn the agreement to settle by making j hlra think It was a contract to sell books on the life and trial of Pat Crowe, which j Ritchie publishes. Taylor got a verdict for JMo. Elllck moved for a new trial. : Two weeks ago Taylor was arrested for a statutory crime and while In Jail signed sn affidavit that his attorney, Yelser. In duced him to take the witness stand and make a perjured denial of the settlement. This affidavit, wltn a similar one by Mr. Tay'or. was filed in support of the new' trial mollon. Telser then secured and filed an affidavit by Taylor that hla af fidavit and that of his wife In which charges were made against Yeiser, were secured by threats tr the penitentiary, made by Steve Maloney anil other mem bers of the police department. Hiring the hearing on the new trial, motion Taylor took the stand for tho de fense and repudiated hia affidavit against th ) police, lie said his vase was won by perjury and he wanted the verdict and the whole case "knucked out." Judge Sears ruled that from the evidence there can bo no doubt that Taylor and his wife committed perjury, but Tailor's testi mony that Yelser suborned the perjury cannot be believed, as Taylor haa shown himself absolutely unworthy of belief. Therefore, the court threw the case out of court and cxoueiatcd Mr. Yelser, who has contended from the first that If there was perjury, as he now believes there was, he did not knew It ai iho time of the trial, ni therefore Is Innocent.
