Automobile Superstition.

IrOm The LONDON thFOulcIe.
Among motor car drivers there is a
curious survival of bit of folklore. In
many cars is suspended a perforated stone
usually a sea-rolled flint, with a natural
bore; this stone is supposed to act as a
protective amulet. To be efncacious in
warding off evil the hole must be natur-
ally or. some people maintain, super
naturally formed. not artificially bored.
and the belief in this stones power is
certainly widespread. 1t is supposed to
confer safety on the fastest travelling
motor car. and there is many speedy
driver who in his heart ascribes his i'm
munity from accidents 10 the strange
power of the perforated pebble. We trust
It's kindly influence is extended to all that
the motor car may meet or oYertake.

Charge Fraud
In The Award
Sensational Allegation Of Remon.
strators Against Sixteenth
Street Improvement

Judge Frank j. Taylor. representing
the owners Of property on Sixteenth
street. now being improved. will today
file suit In the circuit court to re-
strain Contractor Goodin from proceed
ing with the work. The papers will con-
tain some sensational allegations. Sew
eral attorneys own property on the
street and there is no dearth Of legal
objection to the improvement.
Judge Taylor said yesterday that the
action would be based on irregularis-
ties In awarding the contract for the
work. 1t is the contention of the re-
monstrators that no legal contract for
the Improvement exists, because the
contract was signed hurriedly by two
members Of the street committee OF the
council, Messrs. Wright and Burns. in
order that fraud might be perpetrat-
ed 1t will also be charged that Chair
man Burns OF the committee had no
knowledge that the contract was to be
signed, and that improper motives ac-
tuated the other committeeman In keep
ing from Mr.. Burns notice Of their In
tention ta let the contract to w. A.
Goodin.
1t is further to be charged that errors
were made in the estimate Of the work
to be done, which estimate was made
by City Surveyor Tee. and that. on ac-
count of those errors, the property
owners are uniustiy taxed.
At the time OF the introduction in the
council of the ordinance providing for
the improvement remonstrance was
sent in by objecting property awners.
The slgners were lone e. White, Mary
T. Strong, E. A. Taylor, Mrs. c. Van
Dusen, st. Mary's Hospital, Mrs. John
A. Deviin. John w. Welch and the
Building and Loan Association.
Some OF the city officials yesterday
expressed the opinion that the legal
action to be instituted Is the result of
a desire on the part Of the property
owners to make the city pay for the
Improvement. 1nt UellcL was EApiSSS~
ed that there is only one real ground
for remonstrance against the work
the fact that an error was made in the
estimate of the work to be done. The
ordinance providing for the improve
ment speci ically authorizes the street
committee to advertise for bids and
award the contract, and a majority Of
the committee may let contract with
out any legal irrC yilarity.
It appears that g. error was really
made in the estimate OF 1Se work to be
done, and that the differe. would
amount to about $500. Contractor
Goodin has offered to effect settle
ment of this matter. however. and
waive his right 10 hold the city to the
letter of the contract, but the property
owners are not disposed to accept his
friendly overtures.
The allegation that Couneilmen
Wright and Robinson were inclined to
be dishonest about the matter is ridi-
culed.
The contract price of the work was
$12,994.
