COLUMBUS
Cleveland Trinidad Paving
Company Has a Come
Back.

Columbus, o., Sept 5.-Thc Clcve-
land Trinidad Paving Co, of Cleve-
land, began an action i'm maudamus
today aginst Henry Maetzel, city en-
Eineer, asking that he, as engineer,
be compelled to make a final estimate
showing the kind and amount Of
work done by the company on the T..
Broad street Improvement and that
he show how much is still due the
company for the work that it has
completed.
It states in its petition that in
July, 1906, it entered in to con
tract with the city to make certain
street improvements on Broad street /,
that 1t completed its work; that un.
der the contract Of the city had the
right to withhold 10 per cent of the
money for repairs for period of
ten years, but that the balance
should be paid over to the COM
pany upon the completion of the
work that Naetzel furnished esti-
mates for part of the work but that
he has refused to furnish more.
This is the contract from which all
the graft charges came, and which
caused the dismissal of the old
boa"1 of public service.

SANE MEN NOT
SPIRITUALISTS
Such is the Declaration of an
Expert in the Van

New York, Sept. 5.-Much of the
evidence taken at the Edward w 4.
Ianderbilt lunacy hearing yesterday
was given by lunacy experts, called
by the defense. The questions put
Ito the insanity experts by the petit
TONERS counsel and the members OF
the commission brought out admis-
sions that were not sought for by
the defense. Lawyer Arnstein Of
counsel for Miss Vanderbilt, when
he was asked if he could call alien
lists, said.
"rhe experts called by the re-
spondent have suited our purpose
very we'll. D."
The petitioners counsel was espe-
.cially gratihed when DR.. John l..
Macomber, the second expert called,
answered lot of puzzling questions
on cross-eXamination with the re-
mark:
"An ordinarily sane man is not
q spiritualist "
There was evidence when the hear
ing first opened yesterday that an
effort is to be made by the defense
to discredit the testimony of Miss
Caroline Boynton Darrell, the mys-
terious witness of last week, who
gave the most damaging testimony
.against Mrs. Pepper Vanderbilt. and

NO WINE AT
COMMUNION
Georgia Temperance La w
are Very Strict on
This Point.

Atlanta, Ga, Sept 5.-Under a
strict Interpretation of the prohibit
ton law, which goes into effect in
Georgia on Jan /, 1908, it is held
that 1t will be unlawful to administer
wine at the communion table. This
feature of the law is causing protests
and grand juries throughout the state
have adopted the following:
After Jan. 1, 1908, every minister
who hands sacramental wine to his
members will subject himself to as
many indictments as there are mem
bers. Every deacon who hands the
sacramental wine to the members Of
the church will subject himself to
as many indictments as there are
members.
I'VE petition the general assembly
of Georgia to make such amendments
to the law as will allow the Chris
tian people of this state to worship
God according to the dictates of their
own conscience without violating the
laws Of the state. "
