Old employees in the United States

the accuracy Of the statement accredit-
ed 10 James Manning, who recently died

accompanied him on his march TO the

deputy warden Of the jail under General

CONTESTS AWARD
FOR GRADE DAMAGE
Clayton Wants Twice the
Amount of Appraise-
ment Made.
FIRST CASE APPEALED
Contends That Union Terminal Station
Grade Claims Commission Failed
to Use Evidence.

In answer to the objections fed by
the Commissioners in the District Su-
preme Court yesterday that excessive
appraisements have been made for
damage resulting TO certain property
owing to the alteration Of the grade Of
NJ street. William NJ. Clayton. one OF
the property owners. filed a motion as
serting that the appraisement is less
tlan half Of the actual damage.
AS a ground for the motion Mr.
Clayton, through his attorneys, W
NICK. Clayton and Charles T. Benja-
min, says that the present appraise-
ment and award Of $4,000 for the dam
age done TO lots No. Y and II inclusive
and IS to "a inclusive. is not, upon the
evidence OF experts produced and sworn
before the Union Terminal Station
Grade Claims Commission, Of certain
" sufficient 70 pay the bare and actual
cost Of lowering the said lots 70 the
changed grade OF the abu ting streets
Upon the best view" Mr.. Clayton as
serts. of the circumstances, the claim
ant would receive nothing for the new
and permanent damage to said lots by
change Of grade, which damage, upor
the weight OF expert evidence, is very
considerable and apparently for al
time without remedy
AS a second ground for the motion
Mr.. Clayton says: THAT the award Of
$4,000 could only have been made by
said grade commission in disregard OF
misapplscatlOn OF the weight OF expert
evidence as TO the aC tuai value Of sa a
lots before the. chan ge Of grade Of N
street. The claimant AYERS that the
damage ought 10 nave been $1,000. or
thSreabOuts. as q minimum
More Lhan 100 cases have been heard
by the commission. the foregoing being
the first case appealed. as all the others
have been approved by the Comms-
siOners Of the District.

SCHWAB'S CHARGES
DON'T SCARE NAVY
Department Not to Act
Hastily in Steel Con-
tract Case.
MlDvALE WANTS ENTIRE LOT
II Company Does Not Get Award it
viii Appeal to President for
Square Deal"

The Navy Department will give care
ful consideration 10 the matter OF armor
plates for the new battleships South
Carolina and Michigan before awarding
the contract II is not believed that the
department Is greatly impressed by the
representations OF the Carnegie and
Bethlehem companies, known as the
armor plate trust. made yesterday by
Charles n. Schwab and other officials OF
those concerns.
The Midvale Steel Company. Of Phila-
delphia. through its agents here, will
violently oppose the proposition made
by the trust that It receive tWo-thirds of
the contract. They contend that their
bid was made in good faith, and they
offer TO give bond in any amount that
they will carry out their promises 10
the letter
They say they can furnish better ar
NOR plate than the trIst. and deliver 1t
more promptly
Their bid aggregated $3.50, coo less
than that OF the trust. They feel that
Il would be most unjust for the Gov
eminent. in the circumstances. 10 give
any part OF the cOGrract 10 the Car
negie and Bethlehem Companies. even
II the latter should scale down their
bids to meet that OF the MidvaIe Com
pany. Should the Navy Department
fail 70 give the Midvale people the en-
tire contract, they Will appeal to Pres
tdent Roosevelt for a square deal"
The matter may not be definitely de-
cided for some weeks. Two questions
are uppermOst in the minds OF Navy
Department officials in this matter.
first. whsther the Midvale Company can
supply the proper quality OF armOr plate
in the time required. second. whether
the awarding or the contract 10 that
concern would result in the permanent
closing Of the Carnegie and Bethlehem
plants.
In event OF war, IL would be highly
desirable that the Government have
more than one armOr plate plant 10 de-
pend upon. 1t has been suggested That
the department may decide 10 give The
trust plants just enough of the forth.

Held Memorial Services.
Memorial services were held in syna-

heard deep expression OF regret and
sorrow over the premature death OF
Theodore HerzL
Herzl was an easy-going Bohemian
newspaper man. In 1895 he attended the
second Dreyfus trial as correspondent
Of the London Times. What he saw and
heard there made It's impress and In
1886 he wrote his first book. Der Juden-
staat"
Jews Called Him Leader.
He became famous and that year a
small group OF Zionist enthusiasts met
In the London east end and called him
their leader. Their example was fol-
lowed all over the world. IN 1897 Herzl
started a Zionist newspaper in Vienna
entitled the World. and called the first
Zionist congress al Basel. He was

neys are the life preservers IN fact,
the blood must pass through the KID
neys every three minutes, day and
night. The blood comes to the kid
neys full of impurities, gathered from
all parts of the body, and kidneys.
when in health, separate the impurl-
lies from the blood and carry it out
of the body through the urine. II the

them an almost specific for kidney
complaints and diseases having their
origin from such kidneys. A kidney
medicine in a pill form is better for
the kidneys than a liquid medicine, as
a liquid medicine contains more or
less alcohol that tends to irritate the
kidneys, and you will find the liquid
medicine will leave you in a worse

but all unnatural stimulants must be

CAN'T VOTE ON HIGH SCHOOLS
Oklahoma Women Are "Voters But
Not "EleCtors.

Guthrie. Okla. April 30.-Accord-
inc to the attorney general of Oklaho-
ma. women are voters" in school ell
actions. but they are not "electors,
within the limitations prescribed by
the statute. Consequently they can
vote at elections for consolidating ru-
raj schools, but they cannot vote on
propositions to locate county high
schools, because the word "elector
was used in the county high school
law instead of "voter.' 1t was pre-
sumably the intention to give women
the ballot on all school matters, but
the insertion of the one word spoiled
it so far as the county high schools
are concerned,
A movement originating in the Wes-
tern counties to provide more money
for the maintenance of public schools
in the various counties, is now beln,
pushed by some of the Oklahoma edn-
Gators. 7. c. Moore, county superln-
tendent of Day county, is the PRIME
mover of the idea, and would have q
territorial tax levied for the support
of schools, to be apportloned amons
the various counties, instead OF a
county tax, as at present. Such a
plan would affect particularly the tax
alton of railways and other corpora
tions, whose taxes now all go TO the
counties in Eastern Oklahoma, where
railroad mileage is heavy, are IN clo-
yer so far as school matters 90, while
the ones in Western Oklahoma, where
there are no railroads, are "up a@-
oinst it, Some cf the western school
districts are levying the limit Of ~
! rJ.S to proVlae tor three months
school. Other counties can support a
nine months school with as low a
levy as . mills.
