BATEMAN MAKING
 A BLUFF AT WORK
HAS INCREASED THE FORGE ON
 THE HALL OF JUSTICE.
But the Additional Workmen Seem to Be There Simply to Show
 Themselves.

For the past three days Bateman Bros have been making a big bluff at doing something on the Hall of Justice. The gang of spider hunters which worked so Zealously in the early part of the week discarded their brooms and set to work clearing away the rubbish from the site of the old Morgue. What the object is in hav- ing this done is hard to determine. as the question of final disposition of this DOT tion of the edIfice has never yet been set tied. According to the contract, the up per stories of the old Morgue building were to be demolished and a new struct- ure erected on the old foundations. It was found, however, that the foundations were not strong enough to support new building and the matter has since been held in abeyance.
 In order to hoodwink dsgusted prop erty-owners into believing that some thing was really being done about the building q gang of men were set to Work. keeping themselves busy In any old way, about the Morgue site, and the gate was carefully left wide open, so they could be seen by all passersby.
 work was progressing rapidly on the ln- terior of the building, and that taxpayers ''set up howl because they did not see the outer walls going up The howl has evidently annoyed the dilatory contractor more than he cares to admit, as yesterday he put a gang on the outer walls. Along Kearny and Merchant streets they busted themselves clearing away loose stone and mortar evidently in preparation for the reception of the long-expeeted terra cotta. A gang of masons was also put to work laying brick on the rear of the building which might have been laid a year ago That all this hustle Is simply being made for effect is clearly shown when 1t Is taken into consideration that 1t is all work which could have been done at any time since the building was start ed. Mr Bateman promises to begin work
 .1- "unless something unforeseen occurs. |" So many unforeseen things have occurred already that little credence is put in his promises,
