half a dozen passengers. When the car reached
the railroad tracks the gates were up and the
track clear. The had reached the middle or the
crossing when the trolley pole slipped off the wire,

and the best quality OF ROsendale cement The
Government inspectors after the wall was COM
peted. discovered that great part OF 1t had been
laid dry, or without mortar. An inquiry
dered by the Navy Department. and the testimony
showed. according the report made. that the
Brosnans. together with Noack who was sub
contractor the work. and the other two men,
entered into a conspiracy to do the work improp-
erly The contract price $4,000 which. con-
sdering the labor and material saved by their
fraudulent practices would have left considerable
extra profit to the Brosnans had their alleged
crookedness not been discovered. The first witness
yesterday was Civil Engineer Franklin c. Prindle
of the Navy Yard. Mr.. Prinde said that he
arnined the wall and found that IL did not meet
the requirements. He opened IL in many places
and discovered that in each place little cement had
been used. From the outside the wall looked as If
il had been properly laid. 1t was erected he said
under the supervision of Medical Inspector PEN

Noack. the witness said told him that he was re-
sponsibe for the work.
.'Mr Brosnan" said the witness asked me not
to be hard on him" .

testified that when the inspectors were present the
work was properly done but as soon as they went
away the workmen put in little cement between
the stones He also said that the contractor kept

the Mayor for contempt because he failed to obey
the mandamus OF the Supreme Court directing him
to give hrst-cass theatrical license to the Surf
Athletic Club OF Coney Island was denied yesterday
by Justice Clement This decision practically
means that An appeal acts as a stay in mandamus
proceedings when brought against a city official.
When the mandamIs served upon the Mayor,
had consulted counsel who informed him that an
appeal which he would take to the Appellate Divis-
ion OF the Supreme Court would act as a stay Then
the application made TO punish the Mayor for
contempt The motion was argued at length. Cen

Surf Club has been trying TO give boxing exhibitions
