Some of these Orders which

The amount of Relief Call raised
each year by the A. O, U. W. is
often twice as much as these Orders
carry in their reserve funds. When
figured down on per capita basis
the reserve funds average from fifty
cents to probably two dollars per
member. AS is readily seen this

The rule for a mandamus in the case
of Washburn, Williams & Company
versus City Controller Howell, to COM
pei the latter to sign school boar
warrants and matter which has
been under discussion for some tim4
past, was argued yesterday morning
before Judges Archibald, Edwards and
Gunster, in argument court ID. ].
Reedy, solicitor for the school board
appeared for the plaintiff ana city
Solicitor Vosburg for the defendant.
Mr. Reedy, in arguing OR the witt
of mandamus, said that there have
been previous controllers wh5 have
demanded extra compens Atom but
that Mr.. Howell was the first to ictLse
to sign the warrants. For this reason
the action is brought
Mr.. Reedy then entered into a le-
tailed argument to prove the conten-
tion that the act of 1874 imposes upon
the controller the duty of supervising
school accounts and countersgning
warrants.
Judge Gunster hereupon stated that
he declined to decide on the act of
1874 until the supreme court, before
which case is now pending, renders
decision as to Its consttutlonallty.
He asked why the case had not been
held Off until this decision had been
rendered.
Mr.. Reedy replied that in .ha locai
case there are questions involved that
are not before the supreme court. and
that he thought the matter sh Dud he
decided at once for if the cont ,clle~
continued to refuse to sign wa, ants
that the affairs of the school board
would become badly muddlel up.
Mr. Vosburg said that the controller
was not refusing to sign war.'ants,
except the one in question, that he had
no desire to tie matters up and that
all he wanted was extra compen sutton
for what he deemed to be extra work
Mr. Nosburg then quoted the act of
1899 which he said specifically defined
the duties of the controller and that
this act did not require him 10 sign
school board warrants withou- extra
compensation.
At the conclusion of the arguments
court took the matter under advise
ment.

High Naval officers Among the Ae
n1tSa1

Odessa, Oct. 25,-A gigantic system
of official fraud and corruption has
been unearthed at Sebastopol. Forty
three government officials have beeh
arrested and will be tried by court
martial Dec. .. Among the accused are
many high naval officers, including the
former senior postoftice commander,
Relitsky, several well-knOwn construct
ors, nearly every chief engineer of the
ships i'm Russia's Black sea fleet. the
cOmmissary officers and others. 1t is
reported that several of the accused
have committed suicide rather than
stand trial. for, if found guilty, they
would be banished to Siberia.
Vice. dmiral Tyrtofel, the Russian
naval commander in the Black sea, is
responsible for the arrests. He alleges
that the officials of the various govern
ment departments from ZvastOpol to
NikOlaiev have for long time been
engaged in a huge conspiracy to mis-
appropriate funds and sell government
supplies, covering their defalcations by
forgery and suppressng information
by widely distributed bribes. The af-
fair has created the greatest conster-
nation.
