COLGATE HOYT LOSES.
Mast Pay S156,718 to Men Inter
ested IN Mining Claims.

Colgate Hoyt the banker. must according to a
decision rendered in the Supreme Court yesterday
by Justice Belts. pay Edward Blewett. Fred
erck w. Wilmans John NJ Wilmans and Leigh
Hunt $S6.71S bond given by him when, with
Charles Colby. he purchased certain mining claims
in the State OF Washington in the early SOS. Hunt
named in the suit a defendant with Hoyt,
but was really a plaintiff. He said he was en-
titled TO recover but declined to join the persons
named as plaintiffs in the action.
When Colgate HOyt purchased the properties he
gave bond to those having claims upon them in
the sum Of $4,000. which TO be repaid out Of
the net earnings OF the mines
Justice Belts tried the case without jury, and
several contracts and other documentary evidence
were submitted him. The plaintiffs said that
they were interested in the mining claims pur-
chased and that the defendant had not fulfilled
the conditions Of his bond. They alleged that
there had been no accounting, and that they had
never received anything from the net earnings Of
the properties, pursuant to the terms Of the con-
tract entered into by Hoyt.
Hoyt in his defence, asserted that he had never
made any net earnings out of the mining prop
erty, but had the contrary, lost great deal
Of money in working it and seeking to develop IT,.
He therefore asserted that the conditions OF the
bond could not be enforced.
Justice Belts holds that Hoyt is indebted to the
plaintiffs and the defendant Hunt in the sum OF
the plaintiffs por continued to develop the prop
erty, both OF which he required TO do, and
permitted the mining claims Of the plaintiffs TO be
sold out,

DIRT GOING OUT FAST
General Hams Makes Gloagislg Re
port on Canal Conditions.

Washington, July 21.-Brigadier General Peter
c. Hams, member OF the 1sthmian Canal Com
mission, who has just returned from Panama,
said to-day that the builders of the canal al
ready awaiting with great interest the proposed
visit OF Presiden: Roosevelt to the canal zone.
It would mark the expansion OF work to full
blast and would produce excellent effect
, throughout.
On his tour of inspection through the canal
zone General Hams was gratified with the Won
derful advance made in sanitation in providing
an adequate water supply for the city of Panama
and in the rapid extension of facilities for the
housing and comfort of the government en-
ployes He said:
I practically did not see mosquito on the
isthmus during the whole of my stay. Yellow
fever has been exterminated through the work
OF Colonel GOrgas who is still in charge. In
the city OF Panama water had sold for some
thing like five cents jug in the old days being
carted down on muleback. 1t of inferior
quality Now the inhabitants are provided with
an abundant supply free from the government
nydrants while the houses of the well-to-d0 are
oeIng equipped with bathtubs and other con-
veniences previously impossible. The advan-
tages are appreciated by the population in gen
eral
While some government employees are still
living in the cities because of the fnsuficiency
Of housing accommodations for them in the
zone the commission is rapidly providing
buildings for the purpose. A large hotel is be-
ing built by the United States government out
side the city OF Panama for the exclusive use of
its employees Many already live in houses fur
nished them in the zone. The government eat
ing houses provide excellent and gradually i'm
proving service at low rates-30 cents meal.
General Hains said he had eaten meal of the
kind provided for the ordinary laborers and
found it very good. The outbreak of smallpox
at Colon will be summarily dealt with. The
sanitary work on the isthmus will require con-
tinued vigilance to prevent a relapse to former
dangers. General Hams added:
The dirt is going out. At Culebra nineteen
shoVels of the proposed fifty or sixty are al
ready at work. The dirt is going out fast, and
in increasing volume. That part Of the enter
prise is keeping step and will be carried out on
schedule time together with all other parts"

COMPLETE PRINTING TIE-Up FEARED

Chicago July 2l.-A complete tie-up OF the print
ing establishments OF the Chicago Typothets may
follow action by the Allied Printing Trades Coun-
Gil to assist tho printers in their fight for eight
hour day. The plans being kept secret, but n
committee Of from each of the five interna-
tional unions afIiliated with the council has been
appointed. with full power 70 act 1t is said the
stercotypers photo-engravers and bookbnders have
already received the sanction Of their respective
national officers to strike in aid OF the printers
terms proposed by the latter The printers have
offered TO pay the strike benefits OF all workmen
called out In sympathy with them.
The attitude OF the printing pressmen has kept
tho other unions from striking until the present.
The presGmen are under five year agreement with
the employers. which does not expire until next
May.
The refusal OF the United TypothetR. at it's con-
vention in Buffalo, which adjourned yesterday. to
consider the demands OF the pressmen for an
will. the local officers say, result in forcing the
pressmen to take sides with the printers.

GRAFT IN YONKERS
Mayor Discovers Irregular Methods
of Trench Contractors.

Irregularities in the work Of contractors in
the employ of the water commissioners have
been discovered by Mayor Coyne of Yonkers. 1t
is said they have failed to dig trenches for
pipes in accordance with the specifications laid
down by the terms OF all contracts awarded by
the Board OF Water Commissioners.
There have for years been complaints from
residents Of the city that street mains freeze
easily in the winter, and there has been much
waste Of pipe, making frequent repairs and
renewals necessary. On Friday Mayor Coyne
determined to investigate conditions in trenches
now being dug in the 9TH Ward, the suburban
district of the city, where many complaints have
originated
He stopped at some open trenches on Austin
avenue and with Commissioner Cooper of the
Department of Public Works, measured the
depth OF the trench. which is 20 be 1926 feet in
length when completed. The trench was in
tended for six-ihch pipe and should. according
to the specifications. have been dug to depth
of five feet. thus leaving the top Of the pipe.
when the trench is filled in. four and half feet
below the street surface. Experience has shown
that at this depth the effects OF frost and elec-
trolysis on the pipes are practically none.
The measurement showed the trench to DO only
three feet six inches in depth. Mayor Coyne and
Commissioner Cooper, their susDicions confirmed
by this discovery. continued their Investigations
and found that the area Of the city affected by
these failures to live up to The specifications in
cluded practically every street in which trenches
had been dug by contract instead ot by the
Board of Water Commissioners.
AS the board is required 20 let contracts for
all work involving the expenditure Of any sum
greater than $780, these streets form a majority
of those in the city.
It has been regarded as a curious thing lately
that while the average contract price for digging
trenches Is % cents a lineal foot William L..
Baldwin the chief engineer of the Water De-
partment, recently reported to the commission
that the cost to the commission. if it de-
cided to lay the pipe in trenches of its own dig
ging, would be 55 cents lineal foot. The diff
ference in the price seems to be accounted for
by the methods employed by the contractors,
The Board of Water Commissioners has taken
the matter up, and the defects in the trenches
will be rennedied. In addition it is expected that
Edward L. Peene, the superintendent of the
waterworls, and the chief engineer will be called
upon to explain how it happens that contractors
were allowed to palm off deficient work on the
water commission. All the work had to be
passed upon by these men, and Mayor COyne in
timated that it was hard to see how they would
clear themselves of the charges of collusOn with
the dishonest contractors which are certain to
be made.
The water commission at present consists OF
President John J. Dewitt, William H. DOty. Jo-
seph Miller, A. B. Barr and ]. Geberau.

FOR PROTECTION OF SEALS.
England and America Believed To Be Near
a Working Agreement.

Washington. July A~-Negotations have been in
progress for some time in London between the
American Embassy and the British Foreign OHca
relative to the protection OF the seal herd in
Behring Sea. Several years ago Congress author
ized the wholesale killing OF all the seals on the
Pribylov Island roOkeries unless some arrangement
could be made with the British government for the
prevention Of pelago sealing, the effect OF which
was to deDlete the seal herd rapidly that its ex

The award of the arbitrators in the Behring Sea
