His lordship then put five questions
to the jury the principal one being: Is

The answer was, "Yes.'' Another
Question, asked was worded: WAS Clay

Under the circumstances 1t was also

retary Alger will not have to pay any
Of the expenses incidental to commence
ing work on San Pedro harbor. Comp
troller of the Treasury Tracewell, in an
opinion rendered today, said that he
need not. The gist Of the opinion is as
follows:
1.-THE $4,000 appropriated for the COM
mission is an absolute appropriation,
available for any purpose connected
with this work. and Is part Of the total
contemplated cost of the work. It may
be expended in any way that the re-
manning $3.50, 900 might be expended,
and In addition is also available for
meeting the expenses Of the board and
the payment Of civil engineers. The ap-
preparation of so large sum as $4,000
contemplated not only the expenses Of
the board but all other necessary Incl
dentals."
