STORM WARNING LIGHTS.
Experiments Being Made in the Post
Office Tower.

People down town last night saw three
brilliant, var-colored lights blazing in the
city post office tower far above the illu-
much conjecture as to the meaning of
the red. white and yellow lanterns which
had been placed in the western exposure
and were facing the full blast of the gale
from out the sunset section. Some thought
the Examinations were placed in the tower
as a belated jubilation over the reelection
of President Mckinley. Others were mys-
tilted considerably, but would offer no So
luton.
The fact of the matter is that tests are
now in progress in this city of storm
warning lights to be placed on the new sig
nal towers recently authorized by Congress
to be established in the principal harbOrS
of the country. A large number of makes
of lights have been submitted for adoption
planned to test the power of the respective
lights from the tower of the post office in
this city.
The object aimed at is to increase the
carrying capacity Of the lights While the
present maximum is about five six miles,
it Is hoped to reach a distance of twelve
miles at sea with the new oil lamps and
fifteen to eighteen miles with the electric
lights in ordinary weather. Makers OF
lamps in this country and in Europe have
entered into the competition, which is now
closed for equipping the 300 stations con-
templated. American makers have pro-
tested against the award of the contract
to the foreign manufacturers, and Chief
Moore of the weather bureau has decided
that preference will be given to the Amerl-
can bidders unless the European lens grea t.
ly exceeds in power the American lamp.

CONTRACTORS IN DEFAULT
DISTRICT NOT JUSTIFIED IN WITH
HOLDING MONEY DUE THEM.
Opinion of Attorney Duvan I'm Case
Submitted by COmmissfOners-
Hinges ON Contract.

The attorney for the District, Mr.. A. B.
Duyall, today advised the Commissioners
that the District would not be JUSTIFIED IN
Withholding money from contractor en-
titled to payment under the terms OF MS
contract, although notice was given that
such contractor was in default, and mad
not paid his subcontractors
The opinion was rendered in the case OF
Messrs. James B. Glow & Sons, VINO re-
quested the Commissioners to furnish them
with informant ton relative to the payment
of claims for material and labor furnished
for the construction of buildings under con-
tracts with the District The question, says
Mr.. Duvall, is whether the bond given by
a contractor for such construction under
the act of Congress approved February %
1899, guarantees payment for material or
labor supplied to subcontractor III tne
course of the erection OF such pulialnss III,
der the contract covered by the bond. III
this connection, he quotes the Iolio"1hs
provision of that act:
THAT hereafter any person or persons en-
tering into a formal contract with the LIS .
trict Of Columbia for the construction OF
any public building, or the prosecution anu
completion Of any public work, or 1or re-
pairs upon any public building or "orH'
shall be required, before commencing such
work. to execute the usual penal BOND, with
good and sufficient sureties. with the adol-
tional obligations that such contractor OF
contractors shall promptly make payments
to all persons supplying him or them labor
and materials in the prosecution or the
work provided for in such contract.
Event of Failure.
I'm the event Of the failure OF the con-
tractor to pay the party who furnishes
him with labor and materials" says Mr..
Duvall, 1.-The act provides he shall have
right of action, and shall be authorized to
bring suit in the name Of the District OF
Columbia or the United States / am OF
opinion that an action will lie upon the
bond given under this act Of Congress in
favor only of the immediate subcontractor
that is the person who furnished the Ia
Dor or material to the individual who con-
tracted with the District Of Columbia.
This question is, however, judicial
question, which can only be authoritatvely
disposed of by suit upon the contractor s
bond. The views of officers of the munich
pality on such a subject, of course, do not
and cannot control the rights Of any par
ties in interest. Municipal buildings not
being subject to the provisions of the law
relating to mechanics liens, the above men,
toned additional obligations required in
the contractors bond supply an equivae
remedy. and l am of opinion that the Dis
trict would not now be justified in with
holding payment from contractor entitled
to payment Inder the terms of his contract.
although notice was given that such con-
tractor was in default and had not paid his
SubcOntractOr.'
