That marks the human wave.
They heard the newsboys' strident shout,
And one did stop and buy;

He scanned with eager eye.
And as he read the headlines DER
His face grew peaked and pale.

ATTACK THE INJUNCTION.
Councilmen Insist on Consummat-
ing an Alleged Job.

SAN JOSE, Feb. 23-Councilmen
William t. Noting, ]. p. Fay, George
B. Dittus and julius Krieg to-day filed
their objections to the temporary re-
straining order recently obtained by
Sanford E. Smith, stopping them from
awarding to A. J. Coffee a contract
for new fire-alarm system for $4,000.
1t is asked that the order be dissolved.
as it does not state sufficient facts or
matters emitting plaintiff to the relief
demanded and because it was i'm
providently made; that the pretended
acts of defendants terminated before
the commencement of Smiths suit,
and that the resolution awarding the
contract was vetoed by Mayor Koch:
that the defendants have not since
January 81 offered or attempted to
avoid said contract.
The Councilmen then deny that the
Gamewell Company's bid was the low
est and best and assert that A. J. Cof-
fee was the lowest and best bidder,
his being cheaper and better both
as to rental and upset price. They
claim that the Gamewell's bid was for
an entirely different system than the
one contracted for.
It is further averred that the re-
straining order issued is in excess Of
the jurisdiction of the court and is an
unauthorized attempt to control and
direct the actions of deliberate legis-
lative body and to coerce the members
thereof in their acts, and that the
plaintiff has divers speedy remedies at
law for the relief prayed for without
the granting Of an injunction.
Similar objections were filed by A. J.
Coffee. The hearing will come up be-
fore Judge Kittredge on Friday.

No Likelihood Of a Settlement
Of the Famous Melcher-
HadIey Case.
BOTH PARTIES STUBBORN.
Hearing Of the Celebrated Suit Ia
Further Postponed Until
March 4.
Special Dispatch to The Call.

BOSTON, Feb. 29.-The Melcher-
again to-day. Congressman Nelson
Dingley is tired of the annoying no
toriety which the famous breach Of
promise case of his niece, Mrs. Louis
Dingley Hadley of San Diego, has
brought him, and he is making strenu-
Gus efforts to call a halt in the endless
publicity of the matter and the I'M
pleasant way in which his name is
dragged into the case and published
broadcast all over the country.
AS a consequence of his objections,
Hon. jeremiah Dingley, father of Mrs.
Hadley, has made an offer to Mr.. Mel
cher to settle the judgment, but the
latter has declined to accept the sum
named. 1t has now grown TO De
bitter fight between the Dingleys and
the Melchers, and the new complca-
tons regarding the attempted settle
ment do not tend to smooth matters
over Each side continues to stand
firm and the final outcome cannot pc
predicted, although it is conservatively
estimated that some sort of hnancial
settlement will be arrived at out or
court, but it is difficult to understand
how this can be brought about In view
of the fact that Mr.. Dingley swears ne
will never pay the judgment and Mr..
Melcher insists that he will have every
cent of the sum named by the courts.
The postponed hearing in the dlsclo-
sure proceedings which resulted from
the failure to pay the judgment of the
court was called before Disclosure
Commissioner Mitchell in Auburn to-
day. The result of to-day's hearing
was the same as that of the first at
tempt at hearing. Mrs. Hadley was
not present, but her attorneys adj
dressed the Commissioner and request
ed a second postponement on the same
grounds as the previous continuance.
They presented the certificate of
physician to the effect that the illness
of Mrs. Hadley was of such a7chas-
acter and so serious that it precluded
her appearance in the courtroom.
Although Mr.. Melcher's counsel man
listed Impotence at this second delay
the Commissioner after taking the
case under advisement for a few min
utes, rendered his decision in favor Of
the defendant and assigned March
as the date of the postponed hearing.

ing seventy miles from the railroad, 1t

who knew the men are inclined to be-
lieve that the murder was the result OF a
quarrel over mining claim.
Farley has been placed under arrest and

van, Assistant District Attorney Rolfe
and I Benjamin, a stenographer, left for
Dale City this morning TO hold an inquest.
