Judge Lindsey stoutly and indig nantly maintains that his conduect throughout the Stokes case was en- tirely disassociated with his duties as a judge, and that at all times he merely acted as abitrator and mediator to aid his friend, Mrs Stokes, without thought of rewarc or gain thereby.

The attorney general of Colorado charges that Mrs. Stokes sought the aid and counsel of Lindsey in her probate action, and that in accord- ing such aid and counsel, the judge, as he was at the time holding office, acted contrary to the ethics of his office. The services of Samuel Untermeyer, noted New York lawyer, were secured by Judge Lindsey, it was charged, and the State court was told that he also participated in the negotiations conducted by Untermeyer that re- sulted in a compromise settlement which gave the two children of Mrs. Stokes, upproximnuly $3, 000,000 sraiasinp o Bt ormcyl.'r. well-known New York la l 1 games may be worked in, according |to Dunham, who expects to com plete arrangements within the next | wfew days. —————— lnonomY AUSTIN 1S MARRIED YESTERDAY TO JOHN E.

The commission is to aid the anti-noise campaign of Mayor Mar- iano Gomez who last September started a crusade which he hoped would destroy the city’s reputation as the world’s noisest community. It is safe to say, however, that the Mayor cut out a big job for machines and radio loud speakers, the ever present hurdy-gurdy and screeching ‘taxi horns, all had be- come part of the very life of the Cuban metropolis. Thus far the anti-noisc crusade has not effected any starting change. It has brought added rev- enue to the city through fines im- posed on many who have been found guilty of violating anti-noise rules. But noise continues. Many Habaneros- do not want a isilent eity.
