HIGH SENSE OF DUTY ACTUATES TWOLAWYERS Baltimore Counsel for John MacDonald Live Up to Ideals. gy Sertpps-Hovard Newspaper Allianre SAN FRANCISCO. July 22.—"T0 uphold the tradition of the American bar." This is the answer of two young ultra-conservative sons of Maryland as to why they left a lucrative practice in Baltimore, paid their own way and that of their penniless "client,” John MacDonald, to come 3.0C0 miles to present him to the Governor and supreme Judges of California, so he might tell his amazing story to the state whose Justice he swears he betrayed by perjury. Charles Ruzicka and Hilary W. Gans stand high in old Baltimore society. Among members of the Maryland bar no firm stands higher than that of Brune, Parker, Carey and Gans, of which they are junior members. Dodge Publicity Glare Far from being publicity seekers, they are blinded at the light their espousal of MacDonald and his story has turned upon them. ••Our sole interest in this case,” said Ruzicka, “is to see that the truth of tins affair becomes known to the propej authorities. When this has been dene we are through. As members of the American bar, we not only arc morally bound to see that the truth in any case is made manifest- we are bound legally as officers of the court. ‘lt happened that this state’s witness was laid on our doorstep, so to speak. Naturally we realized the significance of his story. We could do no less than what we have done and are doing.’’ The two lawyers for MacDonald did not start alone in their mission here. The elders of their firm gave them every encouragement as soon as they learned of the MacDonald affidavit contents. MacDonald’s attorneys are not loquacious. When fate laid MacDonald on their threshold, they knew nothing at all of the case. Mission Is Important But as they studied the story on The train en‘route here, they became more and more aware that their mission was a big one. They saw that it was not Mooney nor Billings nor even their own "client” that was in issue. It was, they became convinced, a case of American jurisprudence versus the state of California. The crucial point of the MacDonald trip to California came today when Governor Young and MacDonalds attorneys were to meet the Governor and arrange an open hearing on his affidavit. MacDonald, resting in a hotel room next to his counsel, was prepared to confront the Governor in person. In the meantime, Mooney’s attorney, Frank P. Walsh, and Billings’ counsel, Edwin McKenzie, were standing by, awaiting developments.

Denny Steps Into Dad’s Shoes

The anvil chorus of Denny Lees, 26, as he follows in his father’s footsteps and shoes horses for a living.

While other sons buck on following in their father’s footsteps and trade law-books for aviator helmets, Denny Lees, 26, of 4215 Ralston avenue, believes “that the job was good enough for dad, is good enough for me.” Thirty-two years ago Art Lees, Denny’s father, opened horse-shoe-ing shops at Forty-fourth street and Keystone avervue and on Massachusetts avenue. He was “the city’s horses'noer.” Seven years ago, his son Denny took up the trade in their shop at the north side of the race track at the state fairground. They worked side by side until the father was forced to his bed by illness. Denny carried on. He’s made horseshoeing pay, in this automotive day, as well as it did in the handbellows days of his “dad.” “Dad used the old style hand bellows, but I use an electric one. Dad had to quit work at nightfall or depend on the furnaces for his light, but you see I’ve an electric-lighted shop,’’ pointed out Denny. “Am I sorry I followed dad’s trade? Hardly! I shoe the grand circuit racers, riding academy horses and the animals of the national guard," he said. “The only time my job got me in ‘dutch’ was when I went to see a girl and she said, ‘Why don’t you stand up straight?’ I told her I worked hard all day shoeing horses. She said, ‘Well, don’t horseshoers sit down when they work. I thought that was an easy job.’” Denny’s business place is a curi-

ELECTRICITY is Becoming Fashionable ... says the editor of an important English trade journal with regard to its use in his country. “One finds gas offices and show rooms lighted electrically in America; here it would he amazinghe writes. Electric light and power in the home, the office, the store, the factory and on the street has become so much a part of our daily lives that we can hardly understand this point of view. We no longer think of applying the word “fashionable” to it. Electric service for both light and power is within the reach of every one in America. We can no more imagine a gas office and show room lighted with gas than we can imagine a great refinery lighted with oil lamps or a modern home lighted with tallow candles.

Imagine the happiness that Konjola has brought into the world in seven years, for seven million bottles of this remarkable medicine have been used in the past two years alone.

MRS. LOUISE POWER Remember that Konjola is emphatically not a so-called “cure all.” There is no such thing in existence. Konjola’s fame is due solely to the recommendations and indorsements it has won from those who found this modern medicine the first and only one they tried that brought relief. And many return months or even years later to tell that the relief that Konjola gave is still with them. One of these is Mrs. Louise Power, 219 East Tenth street, Indianapolis. Would you not like to get better acquainted with the medicine that did such fine things for her? Then meet the Konjola Man at the Hook Dependable drug store. Illinois and Washington streets, this city. But right now read the words of Mrs. Power, who said to- the Konjola Man. “Although I am well along in years I am still able to do al! my own housework, and I believe Konjola is responsible for my feeling so well. About a year ago I took ten bottles of Konjola and this splendid medicine conquered a severe case of stomach and kidney trouble. I could not eat a bite without suffering with misery in my stomach afterward. Kidney disorders caused my back to ache constantly, and my rest was broken by night rising I also had severe headaches and dizzy spells. The first bottle of Konjola did more good than all else I had taken. As I continued with the treatment I gained in weight, strength and vitality and, although it has been a year since I quit taking Konjola, my good health remains with me. I have recommended Konjola to hundreds of people. Konjola gets all the credit for my new health, and I know it does not just give temporary relief.” Konjola, a compound of thirtytwo valuable medicinal ingredients, works with the sufferer’s food, eliminating poisons and restoring normal activity to the ailing organs. From iAx to eight bottles are recommended as a fair treatment. The Konjola Man is at the Hook Dependable drug store, Illinois and Washington streets, this city, where daily he is meeting the public, explaining the merits of this new and different medicine.
