GATHERS CASE NEARLY OVER
Argument Begins with Attorney for the
Plaintiff Opening,
LAST OF TESTIMONY TAKEN YESTERDAY
COuncilmen, City clerk and Others
Give Their story of the Matter
and the Lawyers Take
Hold to Finish.

Councilmen Back and Nicholson were on
the witness stand in Judge Sears court
Thursday morning to testify that they had
voted for the ordinance carrying the street
force payrolls for April and May, 1898. II
came UP in the regular course Of business,
they said, and was put through Just as
all such ordinances are. Their votes were
given in good faith and without any regard
to political or other considerations outside
of the discharge of their official duties.
The councilmen were followed by II. c.
Taylor, foreman of the street force. He
said the men on the roll had been regu-
larly hired, did the work for which they
were employed and did not know Of any
number small or great, being hired merely
for political purposes.
City Engineer Rosewater was recalled
and told of the method of filing and APP
proving claims. The payrolls in question
were regular and proper on their face
and were approved after examination, as
the payfolls of other months and years
have been.
When City Clerk Elbourn had identified
certain official proceedings after the noon
adjournment the evidence was announced
all In.
Burbank Begins Argument.
Attorney Burbank for plaintiff, opened
the argument and was still talking when
the court adjourned at s o'clock He said
the suit is based on three separate PROPOSE
tions: First, that the men on the payrolls
for April and May were never in the EN-
ploy of the city; second, there were no
funds available from which the men could
be paid and as a matter of fact they were
paid out money raised by the 1904 tax levy;
third that at the time they were paid for
their work there was no ordinance In force
signed by the mayor authorizing their pay
ment.
Arguing from these premises Mr.. Bur
bank proceeded to say that the Board of
Public Works had never properly approved
! the list of names of street workers andihad
not sent the same to the council and the
mayor for approval He contended that
| the city engineer, as chairman OF the Board
of Public Works, had made the appoint
ments himself without consultation with
any one else and without regard to the let
ter Of the law The attorney quoted nu-
merous authorities and decisions In sup
port of his three contentious and read some
| of them at length.
Attorney Cornell, for the city officials
will present his argument this morning
after which Judge Sears will take the case
under advisement. A decision is not ex-
pected for some time.

The fact that Deputy Attorney-General
Thompson was assisting Attorney Howell
today going over the antitrust laws en-
acted by legislatures during the last twenty
years gave weight to the talk that the at
torney general would soon take hand in
the grain case now pending between the
elevator men and Tom Worrall. Some time
ago Governor Mickey and Norris Brown,
attorney genera, discussed the matter and
the governor suggested that the attorney
general keep his eye on the procee' ings and
IL the evidence taken Indicated that the
state should take a hand, for him 20 do so
with the knowledge that he would have the
backing of the executive Office. Mr. Thomp-
son said there was nothing Significant about
him helping M. Howell, that he was merely
seeing for himself about the laws, as his
office frequently received requests for opin-
ions concerning them.

water Bonds May BE Invalid.


r. e. Moore, a large purchaser of village
and town water bonds, has raised the ques-
ton of the validity Of tho statute under
which these bonds have been issued for a
number Of years and the matter is now up
TO the attorney general for an opinion. In
his statement, filed with the state auditor
which he wants passed upon, Mr.. Moore
says the amendments to the original act
passed in 1879 are not germane to the act
The original act provided for the construc-
ton of water works plants without provid-
ing for the issuance Of bonds.
This new act of 1898 provided that "suoh
cities or villages may borrow money, or
issue bonds for the purpose not exceeding
20 per cent OF the assessed value Of the tax
able property within said city or village.
according to the last preceding assessment
thereof. for the purchase of steam engines,
or for FIRE extinguishing apparatus, or for
the purchase. erection or construction and
maintenance of such water works, or to pay
for water furnished such city or village un-
der contract: and to levy or collect a gen.
eral tax in the same manner as other mu-
nicipal taxes may be levied and collected to
an amount SUFFICIENT to pay the interest
and principal of said bonds heretofore or
hereafter issued as the same may mature
on all the property within such city or viii
lage as shown and valued upon the assess
ment rolls of the assessor of the proper
precinct or township, in addition to the
sum authorized to be levied under subdi-
vision /, and all taxes raised under this
clause shall be retained in a fund known as
the water fund.
Auditor Searle passed the question up to
the attorney general and 1t will likely be
several days before the opinion is rendered
for the reason that the legal department
is loaded up with work at this time.

toms picture was conspicuous as
one entered the sitting room,
which was fragrant and beautiful
with crimson earn atoms. Ex-
quisite candeIahras draped in
red, white, and blue shed their
pretty soft light over everything.
Cards were played at light tables.
The score cards were hatchets
with pictures of Washington
painted on them. Little Miss
COrinne Richards and Master
Thomas Mayo wore quaint colon
iaI costumes and kept score. The
refreshments we're dainty and
deliciOus-here the color scheme
was carried out. A meat course
with cherry ice decorated with
tiny flags. The waters were rolled
and tied with the national colors.
Each guest was attired in some
of graGdmother's inery, and with
powdered hair and pendant ear
rings, was equal to any of the
beauties of ye olden days. The
hostess wore her grandmother's
wedding dress of white brocade
satin, draped in colonial paniers,
with Vatican lace and diamonds.
The guests were: Mrs. Ayers,
Mrs. Brooks, Mrs DashielI, Mrs.
