OUTSIDE THE LAW.
City Attorney Dreaming Tells Council
men to Beware of Jail.

The committee on ways and means
met last night, but owing to the alb
sence of Chairman Samuel t. Howe
and Councilman ]. w. F. Hughes, the
question of street lighting, which was
the most important and interesting
business referred to the committee
by the council, was not taken up by
the committee.
The most important action of the
committee was that taken on the claim
of the city in the matchmaking of
West Sixth avenue. The amount of
the claim was $40. The county had
the work done and paid for it with
the understanding that the city would
pay for half of the work. provided this
half did not exceed $415. This agree
ment was one made with the various
members of the council individually
and the action was not official. 1t
was never presented to the council for
action in a regular meeting until the
claim itself came up last Monday
night at which time it was referred to
the committee.
City Attorney Dreaming gave his
opinion on the matter and quoted sew
eraI sections from the charter act to
back up his opinion. He said: This
comes directly under section 1873 of the
charter act which provides that no
of work or improvement shall be COM
menced by the mayor and council. or
under their authority until detailed
estimate of the costs thereof shall be
made Under oath by the city engineer
and submitted to the council; and in
any case where the cost of the work is
to be over a hundred dollars the coun-
Gil must receive sealed bids. Nothing
of this kind was done in the matter
under consideration and this fact
makes such a claim Illegal. I do not
wish to be understood as making
threat but if this claim is allowed it
makes the members of the council Ii
able to pay the claim thus allowed into
the city treasury under section %
which directs the manner of proceed
ing in such a case. If this should hap
pen and three tax payers should ask

HARDLY A HOUSE LEFT.
A Destructive Cyclone Sweeps Over
Kurrachi. India.

Bombay, June IA destructive
cyclone swept over Kurrachi yesterday.
Several steamers were driven ashore
and hardly a building remains unwreck-
ed. The casualties have not been re-
ported.
Kurrachi, also spelled Kurrachee and
Karachi, is one of the principal seaports
of British India, capital Of the Sindh di-
vision of the Bombay presidency and of
the district of Kurrachi. 1t is situated
on the Arabian sea II miles northwest
of the westernmost outlet of the Indus.

for the prosecution, the city attorney
must prosecute such member do
not present this statement because
do not want to see these things done
but because if they are done it is my
duty to see that they are done legally.
eff this law that 1 have cited does
not convince you of the justice and le-
gality of rejecting this claim then here
are some figures that ought to show
the equity of turning it down. The
city pays each year $4,000 into the
county road fund and this money is
practically no good. So that the city
has already paid for this road once.
And the county is getting the better of
the city in every way. The city pays
approximately $4,000 into the coun-
ty treasury each year and the figures
total expenses of the county are only
about $50. 700 so that the city itself
pays surplus to the county of nearly
$4,000 above county expenses. 1t is
my opinion that the city ought not to
pay one cent toward making roads
in the county and in the present case
such payment would be illegal and
would make the members of the coun-
Gil liable to prosecution for there was
no contract and it takes more than an
understanding to allow the city to pay
out money. There are a number of
such claims that are so near the Dor
der line that it is like giving money
away. There was the appropriation
to Marshall's band and the allowance
to the chief of police to go to Mime
apOliS. These would be nice things to
do if they could be done legally but a
few of these small things pile up till
at the end of the year there will be a
couple of thousand that has been paid
illegally and then there will be a de-
ficit.''

Old sIoop of War St. Louis Goes
for $4,21O.

Philadelphia, June 7-After having
weathered storms for nearly three-quar-
tiers of a century, the old sloop of war
St. Louis has been sold by the govern
ment to a junk dealer of this city for
"a 30. The vessel was condemned by
a board of surveyors at League Island
navy yard and it was decided by the
navy department that it should be Sold
the upset price being fixed at So, 300 The
great amount of copper in the old hulk
made 1t more than usually valuable.
For some time the st. Louis was used
as headquarters of the pennsylvania
naval reserves. The ship was built at
Washington in 1928 and was the vessel
with which Captain Ingraham overawed
an Austrian squadron in the harbor of
Smyrna and secured the release of an
American citizen who was held prisoner
on the Austrian flagship. Captain
Ingraham cleared for action and served
notice that he would open fire on the
squadron if the man was not surrendered
by certain hour. Before the time limit
expired the man was sent on board the

Rothschild had been working for
Sumey for couple of weeks when he
was discharged and on the night OF hxD
discharge he returned to the farm and
fired the barns with such destructive
results. He was free to admit the crime
when arrested and said that he did 1t
because he had a grudge against Mr..
Sumey for not treating his cattle and
stock properly. Among other things
that made Rothschild angry was Mr..
Surveys failure to curry the burs out
of his calves tails.
1t was thought by the county authori-
ties that perhaps Rothchild's mind was
unbalanced and a commission was ap-
pointed to inquire into his sanity. This
inquiry was made a couple of days ago
and the commission found that Roths-
child was sane.
