Much speculation waa ocea- stoned last summer by the leasing; of ths Uunst store at the corner of Fourteenth street and Broadway, in the Macdonough building, by the United Company. The transaction was regarded as a victory for the United people in wresting a favorable locutlci)5 from a strong rival. A new and mystifying aspect was placed upon the deal, however, when tba United company leased back to Gunst the comer retaining space adjoining on the south formerly occupied by the Realty-Bonds and Finance Company.

It is not known whether consolidation was then being considered, although the truce arranged in regard to these two stores Indicated some move of this kind. It Is known that Gunst hastened to New York for a conference with tna tFnlted company when he feared the loss of hit choice Fourteenth street and Broadway location, and soon afterward announcement of a settlement waa made. The United owns 1240 stores In all parts of the country, and Onnst has 672, prao- tically all on the Pacific Coast, Recently he established two stores on Broadway, New York City. "Alice V.

Attorney George Ingraham, who was to defended Miss Baxley at the bearing, was exciuaea oy me ounra, together with several of the women present, and a spirited fight is to be the result.

"We will fight this to a finish," declared Mrs. Chrlstenson. "The mothers of this district know Miss Baxley's ability, and know that she Is right in this present matter. Because she stood up and fought she Is slated for She is not getting fair treatment, and the board seems unwilling to give it They will explain the matter to the grand Jury before we are through." The women- of the district are worked up to a fever heat over the matter. It was due to the protests of large delegation at the last two meetings of the board that the principal was given a hearing, and the wo men now claim that tne exclusion or her attorney and the manner in which the inquiry Is being conducted Is open to objections.

They plan to take the matter up with the grand Jury and district attorney at onoe, A- committee will probably be appointed at a meeting to -be called in a few days.
