CITY ATTORNEY
REPORTS TODAY
COUNCIL WILL HEAR FACTS ON
0UTFALL SEWER
Contractors and Their Bondsmen viii
BE Held Responsible, the City
ls Almost Indifferent as to
Ways and Means

After many delays the city attorneys
report TO the council on the outfall
sewer will be made this afternoon.
Delay after delay has occurred on
this, owing to the inability of the city
engineers department to get the cor
rect figures on the actual amount Of the
work completed. These figures were
concluded last week and will be used
I'm the attorneys report to the council.
This report will ignore the fact that
Stansbury e. Powell, the contractors
who threw up the contract, have been
overpaid about $4,000, but the bonds
men of the contractors have bean npti-
fed of the facts in the case, and should
the cost Of completing the sewer exceed
the amount left in the fund, which
every competent engineer agrees Will
be the case, the city will be prepared to
sue on this bond.
The bondsmen will be made TO pay the
excess of the original bid, which was
$685., ,000
The amount of the bond is sl41,25o
Civil Suit, Too
Should this prove insufficient to cover
the excess cost, a civil suit will be be-
gun against the contractors to collect
the balance.
The city attorney will report that
the city has the legal right TO go ahead
with the construction :. of the outfall
sewer. doing the work either by relet-
ting the contract or by employing its
own labor under the direction of a
competent engineer. This course will
be followed If the advice of engineers
interested in the construction of the
sewer is followed
A communication to the board of
public works from Engineers Mulhol-
land and Lippincott last week stated
positively that 1t had by no means been
demonstrated that 1t was impossible to
complete the tunnel section of the out
fall that has been the chief bone of
contention between the contractors and
the city. on the other hand, they
claim, it can be done, though the
process will probably be expensive.
City Is Indifferent
The city is placed in the position of
almost Indifference to the cost of doing
the work. as the city attorneys opinion
is to the effect that Stansbury & Powell
can be held responsible for every cent
expended above the original estimated
cost of the work.
Homer Hamlin, the new city engi-
neer, who takes Office the first of next
month, is credited by Mulholland and
Lippincott with being fully able to
cope with the situation and finish the
outfall sewer in the time required and
at minimum of cost.

BOYS GIVE CITY
UNENv|ABLE NAME
LOS ANGELES HAS BIG SHARE
OF YOUNG CRIMINALS
Twelve Lads of Tender Years Ar.
rested in Three Days, Charged
With Serious offenses Against
the Law

According to the members of the Los
Angeles police department there are
more boy criminals in this city than in
any city of similar size in the United
States, which means the world, for
the crook of 8 to 10 years of age is not
found to any great extent in foreign
countries.
Within the past three days, about
twelve boys whose ages have ranged
from to 13 years have been arrested
by Los Angeles police officers for crimes
running from arson to burglary and
petty larceny. Among the boys of the
lower middle class, a spirit of love of
adventure is found that finds no out
let save that of petty crime, and for
that reason the detention home and the
state reform schools are kept full of
youngsters who have violated the law.
Three boys, the eldest of whom was
II years of age and the youngest 8.
were arrested yesterday afternoon
charged with stealing forty pigeons
from the Garvanza pigeon farm.
Confesses Theft
OF the three Earl Burt, 413 West
Seventh street, is said by the police
to be the worst. Several weeks ago
he confessed to having robbed a tamale
wagon on Fifth street He stated at
the time that his brother and boy
named Johnnie Phillips first robbed
the cash register of about $11 and then
they told him of the place and he went
and tried to get something, but as his
brother and the Phillips boy had fore
stalled him he got nothing.
Johnnie Phillips is said to have been
one of the boys who robbed the pigeon
farm, but he was not arrested until
last evening. James Stuart, $40 West
First street, was found i'm possession
Of bag of pigeons but he said that
he was only carrying the birds for
the other boys. This statement was
borne out by the assertion of Earl Burt,
the smallest of the trio.
One OF the detectives who arrested
the Burt boys for the robbery of the
tamale stand, said last evening that
both the Burt youngsters and the
Phillips boy might almost be termed
professional crooks. All three We're
taken to the detention home aud they
wiz be tried In the Juvenile court this
week.

PenniIess and Dry, He Appeals to

Martini

It was 9 o'clock, his usual hour, when
Columbus Pawky, stock broker, whose
palatial home at Watts is always
pointed out to tourists, passed through
the swinging doors of his favorite re-
fectory, nodded a nonchalant good
morning to the man behind and awaited
without impatience the production OF
his own particular decanter from a prl-
yate cupboard back of the bar. The
dav was fine. Columbus Pawky's
breakfast had been palatable His
digestive processes were satisfactory
and he was at peace with the world.
Therefore 1t came 10 him as some
thing of a shock when his quiet enjoy
ment was interrupted by the arrival OF
a stranger, who stepped to the bar,
and in tones which he strove to make
indifferent, but which revealed his
anxiety, demanded a drink.
II don't want TO deceive you Mr..

right. Come through with the drink"

BODIES STILL uNcARED FOR
Victims Of Bomb Throwers Allowed
to Remain In Hospital Yard
BY Associated Press.

BY Associated Press
ST. PETERSBURG, Aug. 26.-Th'
Associated Press representative visited
the wrecked villa today and found fire.
men tearing away the shattered walls
An imposing force of police kept al
comers. even high officers, at dis
tance from the villa.
At the hospital of st. Peter and st
Paul there was disgraceful scramble
of thousands of curiosity seekers
around the maugled remains of the
twenty-six victims of the explosion
which had lain exposed on the grass
in the hospital yard the whole of last
night and today, and which were still
there at o'clock this evening.
Society women fought and jostled
street laborers and peasant women for
chance to view the sight. Many OF
them were accompanied by children of
tender years.
The police have been unsuccessful In
getting on the track of the conspiracy
beyond establishing from the text OF
the death sentence found on the body
of one of the dead assassins that the
band belonged to the MaXimists, bet
It
Social Revolutionists.
This group iG thus designated because
it operates on an unfixed basis 1t has
been responsible for most OF the recent
assassinations. not having accepted the
dictum of the larger fighting organiza-
ton" of the Social Revolutionists to
discontinue activity during the session
of parliament.
Who Members Are
Among it's members, who do not ex-
ceed few hundred, is Mile. Spirod-
ovno, who shot at Prefect of Police
Luzhenoffsky at Tambov; Mile. Bar
bara Prime, who committed suicide
after the premature explosion of a
bomb intended for Governor Kaulbars;
lthe slayer of General Kozlov Of the
headquarters of the staff, who was
murdered in the park of Peterhof July
IA, and Belzensoff, the principal of the
great Moscow bank robbery.
The group is financed largely with
the proceeds of the Credit Mutual bank
robbery.
A popularity of its workings is that
it's DEGREES are never executed by resi-
dents of the same city in which the
victim lives, but by persons drafted
from other localities, which diminishes
the chance of police detection.
Talk of military dictatorship is
again in the air. According to a re-
port current, meeting of the Camar-
lila discussed the question at Peterhof
and a majority was in favor of such q
step.
Grand Duke Nicholas Nicholaievtch
who had just returned from calling or
Premier Stolypin, was especially in
favor of the plan.
1t is said that after the meeting
Grand Duke Nicholas and other of the
grand dukes went to the emperor tc
demand his authorization, but up Il
the present moment this has not beer
received.
