The NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS. Suit.

Mr. John Nieolson, Jr., contradicts the
statement that the dismissal of the suit
in the city court of Nicolson VS.. T. T.
Chapeau, was due to the fact that there
was no evidence to substantiate the claim
that Mr.. Chapeau was a member of the
firm of H. T. Moore & CO. The motives
which prompt counsel 10 dismiss suits, he
SAYS are varied, and this course cannot
be presumed to be based on any partie-
ular set OF facts. Mr.. Chapeau's conclu-
sion was that the suit was dismissed be
cause the plaintiffs could not show that
he was member of the firm in question,
whose notes they had Endorsed.

NAVAL CONTRACT PENALTIES.
The Recommendation of the Board
of Bureau Chiefs Rejected.

Washington, Nov. 5.-Secretary Her
bert has rejected the recommendations
of the board of bureau chiefs that addi-
tional penalties be imposed on contract
ors for the overweight of hulls of vessels
and failure to deliver plans for armor-
plate within the time specified in the
contract.
Chief Naval Constructor Hichborn dis
agreed with the other bureau chiefs on
these propositions and argued against
them before SecretLry Herbert. He called
the attention of the secretary to the fact
that contractors at present had three PEN
altes-one for failure to complete ves-
sci in given time, another for the over
weight of engines. and a third for failure
to give the required speed. These were
as much, he claimed as they could bear
If additional penalties, such as proposed,
were added it would prevent many persons
from bidding for naval work. The Sec
rotary agreed with Mr.. Hichborn, and
refused to approve the additional penal
ties recommended.

A GIRL BANDIT CHIEF.
She Was Dressed as . Man and Held Men
Up In True Style.


Sheriff Hancock, with his posse cap
tured the robbers who held up A. X. Tur'
ner, storekeeper at Rome, Mo-, one night
last week. They were captured near Lead
Hill, Ark.
One of the bold thieves, and the one who
appeared to be the leader of the gang turn
ed out to be woman. Her name is Lydia
Briston. There were three of them who
committed the robbery, the Briston woman
being dressed in mans clothing. She or
dered Turner around in true highwayman
style, punched him with her pistol and
cursed him because he did not have more
money, terrorizing him until he hardly
knew whether he was on foot or horseback
Sheriff Hancock recovered $50 of the $6G
taken, and both of the horses and saddles.
The three thieves were Ben Trott, an ex.
convict, recently released from the pen at
jefferson City, and the lover Of the girl,
an all round crook, principally horse thief,
who escaped from the Springfield Jail two
years ago with Peter Renfroe, the convict
ed murderer; John Briston, brother Of tht
girl, about Is years old, and Lydia Bris
ton. John Briston was captured at his
fathers home, near Oakland, Ark. The
other two were captured on the highway,
riding the stolen horses.
Lydia Briston is rather comely girl
about 90 years old, who is well known te
the police officers of Springfield, Mo-
New York Sun.
