MAYOR WEAVER ON STAND.
Declares He Did Not Suspect "Graft"
In Filtration Work.

Philadelphia, Pa, Dec. 2S.-Mayor
Weaver, Maj. Cassius z. Gillette, head
of the filtration bureau. and number
Of city engineers were among the wit
nesses called by the city to-day to give
Tebuttal testimony in the equity suit TO
compel the Durham McNichol contract
ing firm TO return some Of their profits
on the filtration work to the city treas
uTy
The mayor testified that in approving of
contracts awarded to the political con-
tracing firm of Durham & Nichol, he
relied solely upon the recommendations
made by Peter E Costello. director of
public works, whose appointment had
been suggested by Israel w. Durham. He
did not know that Costello was continu-
ally allowing for extra work, the mayor
declared, but he had always placed I'm
plcit faith in him. until one day he found
him suspiciously engaged in conversation
with James p. McNichol, one of the con-
tractors Then he began to watch out for
him.
Maj Gillette was recalled to testify 10
the repairs that had to be made to the
filtration conduit after il had been ac-
eepted as wateT-tight by the city. The
major was questioned about his engineer
ing work in the army in an attempt TO dis
qualify him as an expert, but the court
sustained the major.
The city concluded its case during the
day, and Attorney z. Spencer Miller ex-
pressed his confidence that the city would
obtain d decree.
Arguments will not be heard until Wed
nesday.

small beady eyes, his perpetual smile,
his weak, receding chin. She mailed
the letter with a strange feeling Of ia
/ dependence achieved, for now she had
/ paid. 10 her own satisfaction. the debt
Of gratitude imposed by her aunt,
which had hung over her young life
like a pail. She was free now to work
out her own happiness.
But for the next week, happiness
seemed to move further and further
away. In later years she never
thought OF those days without shud-
dering.
The holidays we're over. nobody
wanted to hire clerks, nor buy illumi-
mated cards or telephone records. or
any Of the pretty things she painted.

might sell her casts and painting out

/ I wish you'd try this place. I've sent
| the customer a dozen girls, and they

woman's a crank-but you look as If

The upshot was that Annabel. with
| 25 cents in her purse and a notice of
rent due under the door of her hall
room. went to see Mrs. Cartwright
| Brown. and that highly strung per-
| sonage said with dissatisfaction and
suspicion In her voice that she would
give the girl a trial
| The Cartwright Browns were newly
rich. The father had made an enor-
nous fortune through his own efforts,
and was proud of 1t. The mother was
so burdened by it that she was on the
verge of nervous prOstration. Annabel
! saw it was nerves and not temper, and
| took heart Later she learned that
| there were a son and a daughter away
at college who were just a little
ashamed Of their new riches
| Nobody. Annabel least of all. knew

Dan Martin, as I wanted you to. would
not be facing this terrible situation,
but you always were headstrong, and
my whole life has been sacrificed to the
effort to raise you as your dear dead
mother would have had me. Even now,
Dan is willing to forgive your folly and

done over and his sister will go 70
Johns TO live. and there will be only
Dan and you and me-"
The letter covered five closely writ
| ten pages. and Annabel read it through
twice with firmly set lips and dry eyes.
Then very deliberately she put on her
coat. hat, and gloves and went out for a
long walk in the snowy park, where
motor cars filled with fur-clad figures
few past and laughing children pelted
her with harmless balls of feathery
whiteness. 1t was a glorious day, and
when she came back to her dingy hall
room she was smiling and the hard
lines had faded from her face. Then
she wrote her answer:

grieved to hear of the bank wreck.

Not one word of reproach, no re-
minders of a dun-coIored childhood and
| a dreary girlhood, spent under nag
ging of the most trying sort. No
reference to the fact that her own
patrimony had gone under with her
aunts small fortune in the bank

sent almost her last dollar in the

art studies and seek a position in the

Girl Follows Advice of Her False
WOoer, but Is Rescued.


New York. Dec. 2S-Abandoned by
the sweetheart for whom she had trav-
eIed more than 5000 miles 10 meet
Burma Harya, pretty and well-edu-
Gated. threw herself into the ice-fIed
waters of the East River at Twenty
third street early to-day, and was res
cued only after two policemen had been
rendered almost unconscious in the
battle she gave them.
As she struggled, she moaned: It
love him and l want to die. He told
me to drown; that he was going to
marry another"
When the girl was brought to the
recreation pier at Twenty-fourth street
she was senseless. She was taken to
Bellevue Hospital, prisoner, and
when she had recovered sufficiently
said she was twentv-three years old
and lived at 991 East Tenth street
Three years ago she became engaged
TO a young man in Russia and shortly
afterward he sailed for America, ad-
mOnishing her TO save her money that
she might join him here
She had accumulated sum sufficient
TO pay her passage year ago, and
when she arrived the youth met her.
He told her he had become engaged TO
another girl. but said he would tell her
that Burma was to be his bride on
Christmas Day.
She prepared for the wedding, but he
did not appear. The following day she
met him on the street and he told her
she had best end her life by jumping
into the river.
