FOR THE GRAND JURY
NAMES OF DEGRADING CITY con-
TRACTORS MAY BE PRESENTED.
City Attorney VIII Investigate the
Possibility of Grand Jury Action
What One Woman Did.

1t is probable that the names of the corr
tractors who have done faulty and defec-
tive work upon improvements and thereby
defrauded the public will be taken to the
grand jury and an investigation asked of
their methods. The city attorney will be
asked for an opinion as to the probability
of the success of such action. 1t is claimed
that those contractors who have done
cheap and inferior work, covering it up
from inspectors, are guilty of fraud and
that their cases can be reached by the
grand jury. The Council investigating COM
mttee is waiting until all of the evidence
is before them before it makes any sug-
gestions or decides upon any action. The
city engineer is at present at work inves-
tigating many Of the improvements which
have been made. and it is thought that his
report will show that there has been con-
siderable inferior work DONE Should it
be found that criminal action is impractical
bic, civil action may be commenced 1t is
the opinion of all connected with the city
government and all those interested in the
work of the Council committee, that all
contractors who have been making money
at the expense of the city and in violation
of their contracts, should in some way be
called to account.
After the investigation is closed there is
to be a conference of the members of the
committee, the city attorney and the Mayor,
upon the evidence to the committee. There
is a doubt with some at present regard
ing the possibility of bringing criminal ac-
ton. 1t is said by these that it will be a
hard matter to connect the contractors with
any shoddy work and it will be impossible
to give an estimated sum of the amount
which has been lost by their work. But
there are others who think differently and
several of these have advised the commit
tee to go directly before the grand jury with
the evidence they now have on hand. Those
who argue for grand jury action say that
should an individual be defrauded in SIM
iliar manner he would not hesitate min
ute in taking his case to the proper au-
thorities Members. of the committee re-
fuse to express any opinions at present,
but they all say they have some decided
ones 1t is understood that the sentiment
Is that there has been negligence in the
street commissioners office, and greater
negligence in the inspecting department of
the engineers office, and that some very
shoddy work has been done on the improve
ments, because of this negligence.

KNOCKED TRON DOWN.
Sergeant HyIand Resented the Saloon
Keepers Vile Language.

William Iron, proprietor of the Kingston
saloon and restaurant, at Nos. II and 10
North Illinois street, was knocked down in
his place of business early yesterday morn
ing by Sergeant Hyland, and afterward
arrested for drunkenness, profanity and
resisting officer. The affair is the Gull
mination of the bad feeling which has ex-
listed between the police and the men on
1.-The levee" as a result of the saloon
closing policy of the city administration.
5Tron's place has been under police sur
VIGILANCE since the city elecuon, and an
officer has been on duty there q great
deal of the time. Iron has OBJECTED 10 this
and there have been many wordy wars be-
tween him and the officers. Yesterday
morning, about 2:3O o'clock, a telephone
message received at headquarters stated
that sergeant or captain was wanted at
the Kingston Immediately. Hyland walked
there as quick as possible, but was told by
the clerk at the restaurant that no officer
was needed. He then walked east on Court
street past the rear entrance of the saloon,
intending to call up headquarters by tele-
phone. AS he passed the door Of the saloon.
"a man and woman were coming out. Hy
land demanded admission but the door
b telephone and then returned to the restau-
rant, having summoned Sergeant Laporte
anu pdtIOlIldH IOpS- IL was the luiSIilOIi
/, to station Pope at the door leading from
the restaurant to the saloon, as it was
claimed that the crowd in the saloon en-
tered by way of the restaurant. 1t was
thought that there was a crowd in the
saloon at the time. Iron II the restau-
rant and Hyland said to him:
Z, ''Bill, what does that crowd in the saloon
. mean? / thought you were not going to
give us any more trouble?'
Iron replied with a series of oaths, in
which the entire police force was called the
q vilest of names. Hyland vas called the
most insulting names possible. Advancing
to Iron. he said:
/. 'Bill, you are drunk and don't know what
you are saying but l will not allow any
man to talk to me like that. You want
to stop right where you are
Instead of obeying Iron continued the
abuse. He cursed Mayor Denny and Su-
perintendent Powell. He applied a vile
name to the wife of city officer, but no
sooner was the insulting language out of
his mouth than Hyland struck him in the
porte and patrolman Pope seized him and
started for the sidewalk: Iron at first re-
fused to go, and while being dragged
through the door his hand struck the
glass, breaking it and cutting his hand
severely. The prisoner was taken to head
quarters in the patrol wagon but was soon
afterward released upon bond
officer Kiefer was stationed all day yes
terday in the restaurant part of Iron s
place. He reports that attempt was
made to violate the law. Iron has a lady
swollen nose and mouth as a result of the
blow given him by Hyland. He claims that
the intrusion of the officers was outrage
and that, he said nothing to them but in
a joking way

LAUGHED AT THE WOMAN.
She Discovered Defective Work in
~ Face of the Engineers Opinion.

Apropos to the developments before the
Council investigating committee regarding
faulty sewer work which has been done by
contractors it is interesting to recall that
the first person to make the discovery and
complaint was a woman. She is widow
and has some property. which she looks
after herself rather than have it in the
hands of an agency. She watched the i'm
provements as we'll as the specifications.
A sewer was ordered in the alley in the
rear of her home. Occasionally she would
watch the men at work, and she became
convinced that it was not being carried on
properly. The catch basins were defective,
as recent developments have shown. The
walls of the sewer were not the required
thickness and proper provision was not
made for house connections This woman
carried a complaint to the engineers office,
it is said, where she was laughed at
and told that the work was being in
spected by men who knew their business.
At the Board of Public Works she was in
formed that the city engineer saw that all
work was done properly. That woman S
business ability stands great deal higher
in the estimation of the neighborhood now
than it did before the investigation.

WON'T SURRENDER HIM.
Judge BuchyvaIter Refuses to Honor
Governor Browns Reputation.

Cincinnati, O., Jan. 5.--Judge Buch
walter today delivered an elaborate
opinion in the case of the extradition
of Rev. A. S. Hampton, colored, de-
manded by Kentucky for shooting and
Wounding a Mr.. Durham, in Green
county. When Hampton was first be-
fore the court, the court had refused
TO deliver him unless he had assurance
from the governor of Kentucky and
from the judge of the trial court that
Hampton would be protected from VIC
lence and that he would be given a
fair trial.
The court said no such assurance
had been received. He found both the
Indictment and the requisition defect
i've in form, but the broader ground
of securing the rights of prisoners, the
court held that it was justified in re-
fusing to surrender Hampton. The
presumption that he would die with
out legal process if sent back had not
| been rebutted by proof of any kind.
! The court cited statistics of nineteen
| lynchings in Kentucky within a, COM
| paratively short time and recalled the
fact that one of the victims had been
surrendered by this court. The court
! felt the obligation to perform a moral
1 duty in this case which could not be
enforced by mandamus or other pro-
| ceedings. He was willing to remand
| the prisoner upon proper indictments
and requisition if the governor or other
authorities had provided fora force to
protect him from violence and insure
an impartial trial. This had not been
done and the court felt bound to dis
charge the prisoner. So much interest
was taken in the case that other
judges left their benches to listen to
the delivery of the courts decision.

Washington, Jan. 5.-The following
official telegram was received at the
Turkish legation in this city, dated

Certain newspapers have maintain
