But 1t Had q Sud Sequel I'm the Po-
lice COurt.

Lulu Loving. a tall Colored woman, in.
vitcd her friends and acquaiEtances gener-
ally to a combination cake walk and parior
social last night at her doulicilc, in Pierce
street alley. There were music, GROWERS
OF beer and dancing, and one witness testi-
fled that the refreshments consisted of hogs
head and cabbage. 1-t..H-5
Among the guests was Rodie Rice, a col
ored cart driver, and Rodie's presence
there caused much trouble and converted
him into full-fledgcd Emergency Hospital
case before the festivities were brought to
a sudden close by the police.
ne sequeI OF the combination alley en-
tertainment was heard in Judge Miller's
police court this morning. Mine hostess,
Lulu Loving and her friend, James TEN pie,
a slender mulatto, was in the prisoners
dock charged with assautine Rudle Rice.

WOMEN in IDAHO.
Triumph of Woman Suffragists En-
daDgered by the Courts.

Boise, Idaho, Nov. 17.-From unofficial
Sources II slearned that [ he woman suffrage
amendment to the constitution has a ma
1ority Of nearly 5000.
II is, however, "a question whether the
amendment has really passed, owing to the
official ruling ON a similar question that
came up two years ago.
AT that time proposed constitutional
amendment segregats0G the office Of
probate Judge and county school super
intendent was carried in the same way,
bat 1t was held that the amendment was
lost because the vote in its favor was not a
majority OF all those cast at that election,
though 1T was a majority of those cast
on that question.
THIS rule is i'll effect that votes not cast
either for or against are to be construed as
being cast against a measure. The Ques-
uUn Will be taken into court as soon as
possible to determine whether the ruling
Of two years ago Will hold good ON the
woman suffrage am endment.
Prominent lawyers here hold that the
constitution OF the State should be con-
strued So as to mean that when any pro-
posed amendment thereto receives a ma
jority OF all the votes cast on that sub
Ject the proposed amendment has been car
ried. Its understood that the present can
vassing board will refuse to pass upon the
subject. 4 brief is now being prepared TO
bring the subject before the hi Chest tri5un-
al for settlement.

CONTRACTOR BEERS CASE
Complications Arising From the
Death of His Partner.
New SchoOlhouSe Contract Had to
Be Made With ii i'm by Com.
missiOners.

A somewhat novel case, involving con
tract for public construction and the rights
aud duties Of surviving partner, has Just
been decided by the attorney for the Dis
trict, upon a statement OF particulars made
by direction of the Engineer Commissioner.
Bids were received in due form several
weeks ago for the construction OF a school
house in the northwest section OF the Dis
trict. W. F. Beers & Co., the lowest
bidders, were awarded the contract, bat
before the proper x,cution of the papers
Mr.. W. F. Kerby, OF the firm, died
The question then arose as to the status
of Beers Il Co. The contract was signed
by the Commissioners, 10y Mr.. Beers and by
W. d. Campbell and James Mcknight. sure
ties, but lacked the signature OF the de
ceased mtI tInber Of the firm of contractors.
Mr. Thomas holds that there was no
valid agreement, since it did not conform
to law. 1t is required that a record must
be kept of all contracts, and that Copy
OF each shall be retained by the Comniis
siuners.
Meanwhile Mr.. Beers had begun work
on the foundation, in order that there might
be no delay in completing the work, and
naturally assuming that the papers would
be duly executed. Mr.. Thomas said there
were two ways OF emerging from the
dilemma. one, to recompense Mr.. Beers
for the work done and readvertise for
proposals. The other was to execute
new contract with Mr.. Beers as the surviv-
ing partner OF Beers x Co., requiring him
to furnish a new bond.
His opinion was that no complaint could
be made by other bidders, since the work
would still he done under the lowest pro-
posal received. and that no damage would
result to anybody.
The Commissioners accepted the advice.
and awarded the contract To Mr.. Beers.

WERE AFTER THE FEES.
Women Witnesses Cleverly Out
witted by Judge Miller.

Judge Miller neatly outwitted three fe-
male schemers who appeared as witnesses
in his court this morning. Sam johnson,
colored, a habitual Jail bird, was charged
with assaulting Hattie Ingram, short col
ored woman, by kicking her on the side.
"He 'saulted me, jedge, becuz l sworcd
agin him in cote" she said.
Hattie had three witnesses. women OF
her class, to swear againstJohnson. Judge
Miller suspected that the main purpose of
the women was to get the witness fee of
81 .25 each, which the government allows
in such cases.
His honor interrogated the women sep
arately and found that neither of them
knew anything of the assault.
"Another grab for witness fees he said.
s.This man can go to Jail for sixty days,
and Mr.. Potts, do not give these women
apy witness fee certificates"
