or an act for the last quarter of a century,
was at last passed by the House as it came
from the Senate, and so goes to the Presi-
dent for his signature. The bill Iefers
claims. 4 bill of great value to local
architects was also passed. 1t opens
to their competition the designing and con-
struction OF public buildings. MI. Camin-
ETH also managed to secure the passage Of
his bill creating the CaliforniasDe Com
mission. The billto increase the efficiency
of the militia received a setback, but only
because it came lrregularly Before the

passed authorizing the committee ON labor

MIR. SOmerby was continued in the
witness stand all the afternoon III the

tions addressed to him by the plaintiffs
attorney, he said that the sl7O.OOO of the
money of the Iron Hall used by the
bank in Philadelphia TO prevent it
going into the hands of receiv-
er he understood to he a donation
from the order, and that he as
supreme Judge of the order had ap-
proved the transaction, and so reported
to the supreme sitting at its present
session. 1t developed that Supreme
Cashier Davis had not even given re-
ceipt for the money. and has nothing in
his possession to show where it really
went. The closing evidence was
an admission of acknowledgement of
the affairs of the order. He &C
knOwledged that officials of the
order who are supposed to make
reports every quarter to himself or the
executive committee had not done so.
and that it had been over two years
since the supreme cashier or supreme
accountant made full report of the
condition of the affairs of the order.
He admitted that it was his place to see
that these reports were regularly made
and that he had been derellct in his
duty. In the morning the plaintiffs
attorney expects to call Supreme Cash
Ter Davis 10 the stand, when interesting
developments will probably be dis
closed.

Myers today paid to Woodbury. g. Lang
don and five other heirs of the first
John Jacob Astor the sum of 1907, 6S9 70
in final settlement of the old claim
against the city known as the Langdon
claim, which has been in litigation
since 1877. There Il. was a dispute
between the city and the Astor
heirs as to the ownership of the water
front on the North river, between King
and Leroy streets. In 1876 the dock
commissioners took possession of the
property, and the Astor heirs brought
suit against the city for damages the
following year. The case was in the
courts several years, and was twice
taken to the court of appeals.
The first decision was in favor of the
city, but on second appeal referee
was ordered to fix the value of the
property. In 1891 Grover Cleveland was
appointed referee. After taking testi-
fddhy lie fixed the value Of the property
at $255, 900. The cost and interest added
brought the amount up to S507, 6S9.75.
