Calls for Thirteen Million DOIIOrs
Street improvements
In Havana.
ITS LEGALITY QUESTIONED
BY U1liet States Alto 'ney General
md Ne Refers It 10 Military Au-
thonfiss for Final Action.

WASHINGTON. July i2.-A,torney
General GngSs has rendered an opinion
in the matter Of a construction o. a
water system OF sewers and the paving
OF ne streets Of Havana By a contract
made with Michael J. Dady Company.
pursuant 20 the provisions Of the old
spanish law.
The attorney general says he Is unable
to dodnlteiy state whether Dady &
Company have any rights under the pro-
csedlngs OF ghe authorities in Havana
relating 10 the matter OF constructing
works according TO plans prepared by
said corporation and alleged TO have
been adopted by the municipality. III
Dady & Company" ne added, "at the
tlme the treaty Of Parss was signed. had
any rights under their alleged contract
which could be properly called vested
rights. those rights are undoubtedly
preserved By ne terms Of the treaty.
The practical question for the military
authorities m Havana Is whether It is
advisable. as a public matter and hav-
lng In mind solely the publh interests,
% permI, a contract. which involves to",
expenditure o, ti2.eaco and which
Involves the tearing up OF and DISTURB
snce O. me streets Of the city In a
manner which may greatly endanger the
publlc heaI,h. to be carried on at the
pressnt time. " the authorities were
convinced that Dady & Company had
vested right or complete contract. It
would be within shelr lawful province
TO suspend It's excursion q they thought
the public health and orher interests
required. or course, such an interfer-
ence with the exercise Of a vessed con-
tract right would involve the payment
hereafter. in legal damages. bu, the pub
nc good would be higher law and
would justify the Interference. This
maaer as now presented, seems to be
one for administrative decision by the
war department"
pae attorney general. in concluding,
recommends THAI the commander in Gu.
ba be Greeted to refer the subject to
the cIvn authorities Of Havana with d.
rec,lors to investigate the status Of
the Dady claim to determine whether
1t is fOr the interests OF the city rhas the
improvements be carried out in the inn
mediate future or whether the project
should be abandoned. When the facts
and the opinion of the civa authorities
aie obtained. the war department could
direct such action as then might seem
advisable.

In explaining why the consolidation
was necessary, Mr.. Patterson said that
the high grade granite industry in New

by the large quantity of poor quality
granite which had been placed on the
market during the past few years 1t
is understood that John Pierce, one of
the largest owners of granite ouarries
in this section, together with Booth
Brothers, who own the Hurricane Isle

a Suspected MURDERER.

SANTA BARBARA. Cal. July i2-The
Santa Barbara authorities are said to
contemplate steps TO fasten the murder
Of the Richardson's. three years ago. up-
en- Mrs. Yda Add storke. who has just
been sentenced 10 san quentin upon con-
xetlon OF having lIbeled DR.. Winchester.
Mrs. Richardson and her daughter Erhel
we're murdered at phelr beautiful Mon
,ecito home. Cyrus Barnard, an employe
at the place. was killed while resisting
arrest as a suspect. The authorities be.
lleved at that time that with his death
the murder was avenged. Now they are
said TO believe that Mrs. storke planned
the murder and Barnard was her ac-
ccmpiice. The recent attack by Mrs.
storke upon Grant Jackson is regarded
as evidence that the woman is the VIC
tim o. murderous mania.

WILL DRAIN THEM.
Stagnant Water Not to be Above in
West Mankat0,

The application for an injunction to
restrain the Mankato & New Ulm
railway company's contractors from
digging holes along the new grading in
Judge Severance Wednesday afternoon.
Resident Engineer Yale returned to
the city again. 1t is claimed to be the
intention of the engineering force to
drain these excavations into one of the
rivers, although in what manner has
not yet been decided, 1t is said that
this will prevent any stagnant water
from endangering the health of the
neighborhood and taking off from the
popularity of the park. 1t is the de-
sire of the people of West Mankato
that no deep holes be dug. The Omaha
road did not dig any when it's new
track was laid there, as the dirt was
taken from sand pit near the river
bank. 1t is felt that the Mankato &
New Ulm ought to do the same.
The hearing on the order to show
cause was Tuesday adjourned until
Wednesday.
Wednesday President Porter and
Engineer Thompson visited the scene
of the grading. Work was suspended
today on account of the rain. but yes
terday thirteen teams made a large ex-
cavation. The engineers talked about
the city showing hostility to the road
and threatened that the work would
go oyer until next year. The city's
representatives explained that there
was no hostility to the road, but that
it was desired that the work be done as
the Omaha road had done it's grading.
The engineers said that it was impos.
sible to obtain the use of an engine and
cars to haul dirt. A. R. Pau was
among the representatives of the rail
