CLERK TELLS OF EXPENSES Four Sets of Twins Are Attending Columbian School at the Same Time Three of Them Are Brother and Sis ter, the Other Set Are Sisters, but None Just Brothers. t r 1 Suit for an accounting of natural- izatlon fees collected by Robert Smith, clerk of the district court. In which the County board Is seeking to recover more than 6,000 exeees fees retained by Smith, has (rone to trial before District Judge Sears. The action Is a mandamus suit to r .impel the clerk to make an account- rig. Smith is resisting on tne grouuu Four sets of twins attending one public school. This is the distinction of the Columbian school in the West rarnam district. And here are the twins, all caught by the camera at the same time, appearing in this older: At the top: Martha Tti Bradford and Bertha May Bradford, daughters cf Mr. and Mrs. D. C. Bradford.

It Is to be noted Into which Peputy County Attorney Haffke inquired In detail during the cross S examination of Smith, while the clerk wag on the witness stand. Smith Tells nf Kipem". Smith presented a Hat of expenditures, which, he testified, he had made out of hla own pocket In the promotion of naturalization work. The total was $378. In nil testimony Mr. Smith made a distinction between the period previous to the time there began to be "talk of bringing a suit" and the period after that. Concerning items of expenditure pre vious to that time Smith's memory was somewhat uncertain. "Do you mean to ay that $37 waa all yotr spent out of your own pocket in connection with natural:zatlon work?" Mr. Haffke asked. "All except some payments of cash which I made before there was talk of bringing this suit," said Smith. The clerk was unable to remember the amounts of these payments or any de tails concerning them. Tt Is charged by the plaintiff that pre vloug to the time the suit waa brought, the naturalisation work was all done by ounty employes in Smith's office. County Employes Do Work. Smith admitted that county employes In his office had been working on natur alization business. "Do you mean to say that no naturali zation work was done by county em ployes?" he was asked. "No, I do not mean that," he answered, "but the oounty waa not required to pay for any extra help. Considerable over time work waa done on the naturalization work." The county attorney's office Is relying on a recent decision of the United States supreme court that clerks may be re quired to turn over naturalization fees which the United States allows them to retain. that only one pair are sisters, the oiher three being brothers and sis ters, and the boy twins are missing rltogether. For this reason the playmates at school have no diffi culty In telling these twins apart. All the twins are, furthermore, ! among the most popular children at Columbian.

He received a letter from a man out In the stato addressed "too the Posmasder." and the man wants to know tho "adrese" of "talgraf ab redor." Mr. Wharton has given It up. "There is such a thing as carrying simplified spelling too far," saya he. It la suggested that the possible mean ing of the mysterious words is "tele graph operator," but as the name of no telenraph ojierator Is mentioned, this this seems Improbable. Mrs. Crum is Fined on Assault Charge Mrs. Emma Crum, secretary of the Card and Label league, was fined SI and costs when arraigned In police court, charged with assault and battery on the person of Mrs. Sam Harding, wife of the proprietor of the Princess theater. Mrs. Crum asserted that she struck Mrs. Harding when the latter Insulted her repeatedly. Mrs. Harding denied that she called any names. A former charge of assault to do great bodily injury, pre ferred agalnet Mrs. Crum last week, re sulted in her being discharged. The as sault occurred when Mrs. Crum was serving aa voluntary picket on duty be fore the Princess theater. i - : (IP IU,.y f-.J x - uVl ix v Ymi A frj& ,K Stor - f i I is is the j for..

A visitor searches almost In vain for some indication that the city Is In a land of war; that It experienced some months ago the near approach of the tide of war; that It really has suffered, in common with every belligerent capital. "You won't rind any war In Budapest. said a Budapeater to the Associated Press representative on the train from Vienna to that city. He was right. More sol diers are to be seen In a half hour In Vienna or Berlin than In Budapest In three days. The streets are full of able bodied young and middle-aged men In mufti. There Is little wesring of mourn ing gsrments. The sight of a wounded man is a rarity. The restaurants and hotels serve un adulterated wheat bread, and there Is no such thing ss a bread card. The only limit to the amount that may be eaten daily la the limit of the buyer's ability to pay for it. Restaurant prices are some what higher than before the war, but one of the best hotels in the city serves table d'hote luncheon and dinner dally at three and a half crowns, barely more than half a dollar at the present rate of ex change. While there Is great tolerance of the French and English languages In Vienna, It Is, nevertheless, a tolerance. In Buda pest these languages. In common with the languages of Burope, are spoken as a matter of course. French has been the common language of the educated clauses In polyglot Hungary for centuries, and the war has worked no change In this regard. English occupies much the same position among the lower class., as French among the better situated, but tt Is Amerlcsn English. There are so many returned emigrants from America scat tered throughout Hungary that candi dates for public office frequently address their constituents in English.
