 The balloon was sighted by yachts men as she went over the bay. It was reported from Bergen beach and final ly from Rockaway beach.

ANXIOUS To DROP
CITY CON TRACT
SWEEPING JOB PROVES UN-
PROFITABLE
Perry Howard Asks Board of Pub
lie Works to Release Him From
Pact, Which Means Great Fin-
ancial Loss to Him

Perry Howard, the contractor who is
responsible for the sweeping Of Los
Angeles streets, says he is anxious to
break his contract with the city at al
most any cost and the board of public
works is just as anxious that he should
not.
Howard appeared before the board
of public works yesterday morning and
almost with tears in his eyes begged
that body to let him break the con-
tract for street sweeping. He de-
clared that he was constantly losing
q great deal of money.
His contract calls for 1612 cents per
square yard of street surface and he
declares this is not half enough. He
is under bond of $4,000 for the faithful
performance of his duty and declared
that unless he was relieved from his
contract he would forfeit the bond and
sell his sweeping outfit for anything he
could get for it.
The board refused to release him
from the contract, for that body knows
it would be impossible to have the
street sweeping done for anything like
the price paid Mr.. Howard. If Howard
forfeits his bond and the board col
lects on it it will be the first instance
in which bond money has been collect
ed for many years, although many
contractors have laid themselves liable
to such action.
The street sweeping contract was let
for two years and the present contract
extends to June l, 1907.

TELLS JUDGE THROUGH TUBE
Woman Whose Hens Cause Trouble
Defended Herself Through
Ear Trumpet

BY means of a long speaking tube,
Mrs. Charles Stewart of $50 West
Thirty-sixth street told Justice Cham
bers yesterday afternoon that her
neighbors were willing to swear that
her chickens were the best behaved
anywhere.
Someone made a complaint several
days ago to the effect that her hens
were tearing up flower beds. scratching
up garden stuff and misbehaving them
selves.
Mrs Stewart bounced into the court
room yesterday afternoon and took her
seat on the witness stand.
Judge, l want to tell you about the
spite work that is at the bottom of this
charge" began the woman. holding out
the rubber tube toward the court.
Justict Chambers took hold Of the big
end and began to reply.
Say, judge just hist that trumpet

good. No, l have never allowed my
chickens to wander about. A lot of
fowls that belong to a nelghbor run
ground all the time, but not mine My
hens are Just as nice as can be. know
who prompted this prosecution against
me-"
Justice Chambers set the case for
hearing tomorrow and after some effort
made the defendant understand the
situation.

ARABIANS' SAVINGS
TAKEN BY BURGLAR
TURN FURNITURE UPSIDE DOWN
TO GET CASH
Visit House on Ogier street While oc-
cupants Are Away and Bring Sad
ness to Several Losers Whose
Wealth Was Taken

Charles Brawnd reported to the police
yesterday afternoon that his house at
454 Ogier street had been entered by
burglars and $465 stolen.
Brawnd says he left his home early
in the morning With his family and did
not return until 10 o'clock. When he
entered the house the dresser was
turned upside down and all the contents
turned on the floor. From this room $70
had been taken.
The door adjoining the front room
and an inner room was broken down.
and $10O belonging to David Maloof had
been taken from a trunk. In another
room 1890 had been taken from A
Zacka and William Maloof.
Some iewelry and merchandise was IN
the room, Brawnd says, but none of it
was taken by the pilferers.
The men who are robbed are
Arabian laborers and their money rep
resents to them a number of years
savings from work on the railroad.
The Arabians are suspicious of people
living near them on Ogier street, but
these people stoutly aver that they did
not go near the house nor see any one
in there during the absence of Brawnd
and family.
Detectives Craig and Ziegler have
been detailed on the case.
