MUST KEEP THE PEACE
George saldovitch Required to Give Bond
or Go to Jail.
Wrote Threatening Letters to His En-
ployer-COnfesses in Court. but
EndeavOrs to Explain.

George Saldovitch today arraigned
before Judge Scott on the charge of threat
ening to kill Mrs. Olivia c. Starring. The
arrest was made by Detectives Horne and
Weldon. The accused man admitted his
guilt and was required to give real estate
bond of 500 to keep the peace or to spend
six months in Jail.
Mrs Starring said she had had Saldovitch
in her employ for about two months, but
discharged him some time ago Since then
he had constantly annoyed her by forcing
himself into her house and by seLdng her
letters. Matters came to climax when, a
couple of days ago, she got letter from
Saldovitch telling her that unless she COM
piled with various demands made by him
he would kill her. Mrs. Starring identified
the letter referred to, which was read by
Mr.. Mullowny. 1t was a mass of inco-
herent statements, in which Saldovitch told
him back his head" which, he asserted
Mrs. Starring had deprived him of. There
was also in the letter considerable abuse of
Mrs. Starring.
Saldovitch cross-eXamined Mrs. Starring
and tried to get before the court recital
of facts regarding injunction proceedings
instituted by Mrs. Starring, by which Sal
dovitch was compelled to give up $4,000
worth of securities belonging to the lady,
which ne had retained: but Mr.. Mullowny
objected, and Judge Scott sustained his
objection.
Wrote Numerous Letters.
Detective Weldon said that for a num-
ber of weeks Mrs Starring had been re-
ceiving from one to two letters a day from
Saldovitch each of a more or less threat
ening nature.
Saldovitch said he wrote the letter ex-
pecting to be arrested, as ne wanted to get
an opportunity to explain the business rela-
tions existing between Mrs. Starring and
himself in court. He claimed that Mrs.
Starring had by her 'alluring' letters in
duced him to give up a fine practice as a
| lawyer in New York and come to Washing
| ton to be her secretary.
Mr.. Mullowny informed the court that
Mrs. Starring was really in danger while
| the accused man was at large-that she
| could not leave her house for fear of his
| attacking her.
Saldovitch offered to apologize to Mrs.
Starring and to cease writing to her for
| the future, but Judge Scott decided that it
| would be better to put the prisoner where
| he could do no harm.

BIDS FOR SCHOOL BUILDING.
Two Contractors Compete for Con-

Two Contractors Compete for Con-
tract to Construct 1t.
The District Commissioners today re-
ceived, in reply to their advertised request,
two proposals for constructing an eight
room school house at the corner of I'd
street and South Carolina avenue south
east. This is one of the three public
schools provided for in the current District t
appropriation, the sum of S45, 800 having
been appropriated for the site and building.
The Commissioners paid s12 195 for the
site. leaving them a balance of $33, 305 with
which to erect the building. In asking for
proposals the Commissioners stated that
the sum of S27 500 would be available for
the building and 5000 for the heating ap-
paratus, giving them the sum of S3,205 for
plans and incidental expenses.
The proposals received today were: Cleo
son & Humphrey, $4,000 and N. H Thomas,
$4,000. MI. Thomas, however, offered to
make the following reductions in his bid:
Six hundred dollars for emitting surface
concrete and the finishing of basement
floors, 500 If a tin instead of a slate roof
should be accepted 5000 if plain red brick
should BE- substituted for face brick, and
s4oO for emitting terra Gotta work-a total
reduction of $lSG0, which would, If accept
ed by the Commissioners, reduce his bid to
$21, 100. or within 500 of the sum set apart
by them for the construction of the build
ing
The Commissioners, however, allowed the
sum of $1,000 for the heating appara tus.
For this but one bid was received today,
that of Mr.. H. /. Gregory, who offered TO
put the apparatus in for $2,450. This bid,
If accepted, would give the Commissioners
$50 additional for constructing the build
ing, or within $50 of the amount set apart
for it by them. 1t is, therefore, probable
that the proposal of Mr.. Thomas and that
OF Mr.. Gregory will be accepted, although,
OF course, the Commissioners have not yet
reached a decision in the matter

solely upon the enormous pension pay
ments, throwing discredit upon The old

be expected; It exists in every large
business where men of all classes and
conditions are concerned. Tat the
government does its best to detect these
frauds 10 just as true. To the Congress
of the United States must be charged
the liberal pension laws and the great
pension rolls. First, Il ere is ever a
tendency In this country to overdo q
good thing as the pension laws illusl-
rate, and secondly, the members Of
Congress have catered to catch v,tes,
in sense offering bribes very tempting
10 the old soldier. TO these two causes
We attribute the most Of what IL wrong

We protest then against the general
charge OF dishonesty against the boys

newspapers should be honest with the
did soldier and fair in their dealings
