CITY WANTS BARBER
GO. MADE PARTY
Motion to That Effect Filed by
Defendant In the Calhoun
Paving Case
QUESTION OF CONTRACT
If Contract Has Not Been Properly
Complied With City Holds That Paw
ing Company Should Defend That
Point - City Amply Protected -
Court Ovcrrulos tho Motion.

In the Calhoun paving case against
tho city. which is on trial before Judge
Burnham In the district court tho city
iiled n motion this forenoon to bring
the Barber Asphalt Company into the
case and make the company IL party
defendant The anotlon was called for
argument Mt o'clooclt thia afternoon.
At 3:l5 this afternoon Judge Burnhain
ovcrruled the motion. His decision
was Oh tho ground that tho contracting
company was not n necessary party to
the litigation: that Mr.. Calhoun's fight
was with the city and not with the
Barber Asphalt Company, and that the
city, by accepting the paving and as
sessing It's cost to the property had In
dicated that 1t was satisfied with the
work as being according to contract.
In filing the motion the city brings
out the point OF the sensational turn
made In the case Saturday. and when
the plaintiffs witnesses attempted to
show that th> ~,.ving was not accord
ing to contract. This question, OF
whether or not the contract has been
faithfully performed, tho city main
tains. Is one for the Barber Asphalt
Paving Company to defend. The city
does not care to assume the attitude
of defending defective construction
OF pavement. as against the action OF
the property owners, providing that
the pavement Is found defective. Tho
same question. OF making the Barber
Asphalt Paving Company II party to
the suit. was raised in the Brown case,
before Judge Caswell, but before any
testimony was offered. Judge Cas-
we'll overruled the motion Mt that
time.
Mclaughlin is Here.
District Manager Mclaughlin, Of tho
Barber company, is in the city. and In
speaking OF the quality of the pave
ment said that Il fam inspection and
test of the pavement would demon-
strate that the contract has been fully
complied with in every particular.
City 10 Fully Protected.
Oity Solicitor Van Low. In speaking
of the case, said that IL tho paving is
found to be faulty the city Is amply
protected. and will also be able to pro-
tect the interests Of the property own
ers. which will be tho purpose of the
city at all times. The contract with
the Barber Asphalt Company is very
thorough, and not only protects the
city against the paving, but under ita
terms and the appended bond, the city
ia prOtected against all damages re-
sulting from performance OF con-
tract, including oil costs as an incl
dental damage.

horses have their annual fall gathering
at the Gentlemen's Driving Park
Fourteen races are carded and for
these there have been 257 entries. a
number which excels by far any other
list Of harness entries ever submitted
in Maryland The chief attraction which
has brought so many nags to the city
is the fact that there viii be a stake
race for $1,000 on each Of the four days.
This in itself is a somewhat daring in
noyation and is the most pretentious
offer ever made by the circuit OF local
tracks, which includes the Gentlemen's
Driving Park, Electric Park and Pros
pect Park.
Increased Accommodations.
So many horses will be at the G. d. p.
this week that it was found necessary

is that the Western millionaire plunger

Another is that he has bought these

get back the money he lost earlier in

be, Mr.. Drake is like Brer Fox, '.he
lay low and say nothin'." IT may be
said in passing. however, that IL the lat
ter hypothesis is true he has accom-
plished his purpose, for he has put a
crimp in many bookie's bank roll in
