one of the attorneys in the case, said yes

"The impression that the merits of the
litigation were passed upon by the court.

was against William c. Ward and sought
reopening of his accounts as admins
traitor of the estate of John B. Boddie, de-
ceased, and this is merely a collateral Is
sue. The case was not gone into on its
merits, as far as the title to the property
Is concerned.
"A suit in ejectment has been filed In
the circuit court seeking to recover the

comes up, the merits of the controversy

BRADsTREET,s REVIEW.

New York. June 1.-Bradstreets tomor-
row will say:
Rather quiet retail trade conditions
have resulted from widespread rainy

the unreasonable quietness which super
yenes at this period. Taken as a whole
the month of May was a very active one
in retail and wholesale trade, and the
best records were surpassed Fall trade
reports continue exceptionally good. Crop
reports are tinged with irregularity, due
10 uneven distribution of rainfall. Build
Ing has been active with natural effect on
the markets for material, but lower prices
of yellow pine are construed as indicating
fuller offerings from the current and past
months enormous production. The labor
situation is on the whole quite favorable.
Finished products in iron are reported
quiet, but business in steel rails for fu-
ture delivery is still active. Railway re-
turns are still in a high degree favor

IMPROVEMENTS At
THE HIGH SCHOOL
CEMENT FLOORS IN BUILDING
HAVE BEEN BRACED-MAYOR
WARDS STATEMENT WITH REF.
ERENCE TO STRUCTURE.

The cement floors in the halls of the
new High school building and the floor
of the large auditorium have been suf-
ficiently braced to prevent any possibility
of their not being able to stand heavy
pressure.
The floors were not satisfactory to the
Board of Education and the work was
rot accepted from the contractor. AS
soon as school closes, they will be re-laid.
The cement is said not to have been Of
the kind required in the specifications 4.
in several places the floor sank.
While there was no danger of the floors
giving way, it was thought best not to
take the slightest chance and they have
been well braced. Principal j. B. Cum
bingham announced to the school yester-
day morning that thorough tests had been
made and it was found that they were
absolutely safe. They have been rejected
for other reasons. however. and will he
Ielaid during the summer.
The Mayor. who is also q member Of
the Board of Education, gave out the fol-
lowing statement yesterday with reference
TO the school:
The High school building has not been
accepted from the contractor by the
architect or by the city. The Board Of
Education is not satisfied with the con-
crete floors in the front corridors and
has declined TO accept them. Owing TO
some defects these floors will be condemn
ed. The necessary repairs will be made
after the school closes. =
'While the board felt there was abso-
lutely no danger. not a single member
was willing to take any risk whatever
until it was made safe beyond peradven-
ture The contractor and architect Were
instructed to brace the floors In such
manner as to eliminate all possibility OF
danger. This has been done and City En-
gineer Kendrick. Architect Whilden and
Architect Weston, the latter being called
in both on account of his expert knowl-
edge and also on account of being dis
interested party, have closely examined
the work and pronounce the floors abso-
lutely safe no matter how crowded the
building may be during the commence
ment exercises"

GOOD GAINS MADE
IN BUSINESS LINES
Iron and Steel Industry in
Splendid Condition
RAILWAY EARNINGS BIG
No Decrease in Al ty of Textile Ma

Building Active.
RAILWAY EARNINGS BIG

New York, June 1.--R. G. Duns weekly
review of trade tomorrow will say: Bust
ness maintains wholesome progress and
mercantile collections improve. The
weeks aggregate transactions show the
effect of the holiday. and seasonable
quiet in certain lines, but a good gain is
noted in comparison with the correspond
Ing period of any previous year.
Uncertainty regarding the crops caused
unusual conservatism at the northwest
until this week, when the outlook became
sufficiently encouraging to rest over con-
fidenee. In many johbing lines there is no
prospect of vigorous activity until fall,
but wholesale distribution is now heavy
and retail business Is only retarded at
points where temporary weather condi-
lions are adverse. Little idle machinery is
reported at manufacturing plants, ex-
cept in a few cases of labor disputes and
several substantial increases in wages be-
came effective on June !. Railway earn
ings thus far for May exceed last years
by Ill per cent. and foreign commerce at
this point for the last week showed gains
of $1704,6S1 in imports and $49l 743 in ex-
ports.
Money is returning from San Francisco,
and more gold has been engaged abroad
but the security market rules compare
lively quiet. Aside from the strike Of
founders and moulders, the iron and steel
industry is In splendid condition. No de-
crease in activity of textile machinery
has occurred, although it Is believed that
some mills are overtaking orders, and
the line of the primary market for COM
mon goods developed little weakness,
but without any radical reduction in quo
tatlons Footwear factories are supplied
with orders that will maintain full activ-
ity for two or three months. The higher
prices announced last week on sole leath-
er came as a surprise. owing to the dull
ness of the market.
Failures this week numbered ia in the
United States against 1913 last year, and 1S
in Canada, compared with % a year ago.
