a lively furry and streaks of white
could be seen along the streets. There
was no frost last night owing to wind

Mr. schneII Discouraged.

Mr.. Schneil, speaking of the disposi-
ion OF the case after the ruling this
morning said that he was thoroughly
discouraged, and he was undetermined
as to what course TO pursue next,
whether TO appeal, or 10 once more go
before the council. Il want to say one
thing, though. and that is that | have
40 hard feelings toward the Argus foI
he way il has treated this case from
he first. / have always construed its
course as looking out for the taxpayers
interests, and it has certainly been very
air in its attitude during the trial, not
seeking to prejudice or influence the
jury no matter what may have been its
own ideas of the kind of job that was
put in. | want to say TO you just this
much. There are some things | can
uot tell. but | would like to, but this
much you can say, 'Schnell never
robbed the city of one cent. was never
4 party to any robbing of the city OF
any fraud or anything Of that kind
have been robbed maybe, but | myself
have not robbed.
Some of Mr.. SchnelIs attorneys were
talking around this morning about en-
Joining the city from buying a water
works pump, or paying its other debts
or anything else until it settled for the
storm drain in some sort of way, but
Mr.. Schnell did not admit being con
cerned in such threats. He said that he
had not made up his mind yet what he
would do.
Judge Charles ]. Searle and Col
Charles L. Walker represented the city
in the suit with City Attorney Olson
Joseph l.. Haas and II. a. Weld were
attorneys for the plaintiff.

Relied Upon Promise.
Had Been Notified.

According 10 testimony introduced in
the case yesterday afternoon il devel.
ops that Mr.. Schnell had been notified
10 remove the drain. 1t was commonly
supposed. from the statement of Mayor
McCaskrin when he served the notice
that such had not been done before
and the truth was not matter of com
mon knowledge. Former Mayor T. J.
Medill was on the witness stand yester-
day and testified to having notified the
plaintiff to take the drain out and that
as long as he left it there the city
would not allow him TO close the mouth
If the sewer. because the construction
was in the old ditch and while there the
water could not flow in the old chan
1el. or the natural water course.
Three Witnesses were placed on the
stand who testified that the drain as it
left Ninth avenue and crossed Twenty
ifth street was built in the Old ditch
Or waterway and that Mr.. Schnell filled
The ditch completely on Twenty-fifth
street so no water could flow in the old
Itch, but was forced into the drain.

CITY WINS CASE
No Collection Can be Made for
the Construction of
Storm Drain.
COURT INSTRUCTS THE JURY
Municipality Was Beyond Limit of Con-
stitutionaI Indebtedness and No
Appropriation Made.

Upon motion of the defendants in
the case of Matthias Schneu VS.. the
city of Rock Island. Judge Ramsay this
morning instructed the jury to find the
issues for the defendants. and such
finding was returned. thus ending the
trial of the famous and long pending
case in the lower court The plaintiff
prayed an appeal, but it is not yet
known whether or not it Will be taken.
Unconstitutional Indebtedness.
The motion followed the introduction
of evidence with reference to the un-
constitutionality of the debt of the city
of Rock Island 1t was shown that
during the years from 1895 TO 1900 the
city had an Indebtedness of about $780,
600 in excess of the amount fixed by the
constitution, of . per cent of the as
sessed valuation.
The defendant also introduced the
various appropriation ordinances show
ing that there never had been an ap-
preparation by the city council and tha;
all of the money had been appropriated
from year to year.
Admits Deficiencies.
The plaintiff admitted the deficiency
of the work in the storm drain, aban-
dOning all claim that the construction
was completed according 10 contract
and admitting the substitution of poor
qualities of cement and brick. Reli-
ance was placed solely in the fact that
the city had repaired a catch basin and
cleared debris from the mouth of the
drain to prevent damage to property.
and had allowed the reservoir surplus
and seepage to empty into the ravine
| half mile from the drain, running
| down the gutter of Twenty fifth street
and through the catch basins and pipe
which Schnell had constructed in the
retaining. to get into the drain: and
that such acts amounted to an accept
ance by the city and had thereby
agreed to pay for the drain.
| Relied Upon Promise.
In other words reliance was placed
upon a promise from the city to pay
| for the storm drain.
The court held that the evidence OF
the city's indebtedness and appropria-
ton ordinances were competent; that
if the city made any such promise it
would be in violation of the cOnstitu
! lion and was therefore void.
Argument was heard on the defend
ants motion yesterday and as the court
desired to take the matter under ad-
visement until this morning, the at
tOrneys proceeded to introduce such
estimOny as would be used in case the
motion was denied.

REMAIN NEUTRAL

Continued from Page one)

It impossible not to call the attention
Of the different governments to the
aforementioned facts, which prove
clearly that its efforts to assure the
neutrality of China have failed, solely
because of the character of the acts of
the japanese and their intimidating
pressure upon the government at Pc
kin, and that in case the actual situa-
ton in China to which attention is
now earnestly invited shall continue,
Russia in consequence will find herself
obliged to consider the neutrality Of
China from the standpoint of Russias
interest.
In conversation tonight, Mr.. Taxa
hira, the japanese minister, reiterated
that Japan desired, and intended, If
possible, to adhere strictly to her
agreement to respect China's neutral
ity.

generals invited them to Mongolia our

could hardly be expected to refuse the
