Mention Of Dissipation.

THAT illness of thirty six hours the de-
PENDANT has told you was caused by
gastritis or some similar ailment brought
on by prior dissipation. He started from
the Arlington Hotel at o'clock the after
noon Of May II. 1901. and went first to
the Villa Flora Club. then to Georgetown
and finally on round of different sa-
looms with the evidently usual result
that the small hours of the next morn
ing found him in a questionable section
Of the city. He first stops at the house
1855 Ohio avenue. and 1t has been shown
that from that place he took the woman
of his choice for an automobile ride.
Yet there is a lapse of nearly two hours
between the time the defendant went TO
the house and the time the testimony of
other witnesses shows he left the house
with the woman. Philip admits that he
may have been in the house longer than
he at first thought.
Mr. Mcnamara referred to other events
on the fatal morning, pointing again at
Philip the finger OF scorn as he pictured

CALDWELL ASKS
 A SQUARE DEAL
Capitol Contractors Anxious to Com plete the Work. But il the People Do NOt Want Them to DO So, the State Will Be Expected to Pay.

Little Rock, Sept. 11.-An effort will 0e made wheIi the next legislature meets by Caldwell & Drake to con- tinue their contract for the construe- ttion of the new state capitol. Fail ing in that the state will be asked to pay the contractors S163,000, together with all damages suffered by the con- cern by the stopping of the work on the building last spring and the talk ing of the contract from it.
 All in the world we ask now, or have ever asked said George w. Caldwell, is square deal, and think it is coming to us. We want ! to complete the work we have start ed. and I think we are entitled to do so: but if the people do not want us to they should then be willing to Ipay us what we have coming to us, as we'll as just damages for what we have lost by being stopped in filling l our contract.
 The state is indebted to us $l65,- 900 for work already performed. To that must be added our loss. It would take S40,000 to get a working force like we had when the work was stopped, with all material and machin- cry. again assembled. The state cap- ito has been seriously damaged by standing unprotected for so many months, but I could not make an esti- mate without going into the matter at length and consuming much time as to what the damage has been. The walls are being damaged. for they are not pointed up. it being part of the contract that they were not to be pointed up until the building was con- pleted. The interior is being dam aged very day by the windows all be- ing open and a portion of the roof i not on. The iron work is naturally suffering from rust and the exposure of the 5000 scafolding for the big dome is doing it no good. It would take Us several months to get our forces organized properly if the legls- iature was to tell us to go ahead with the building again. We are now working on number of large build- 1 ings elsewhere, but the setback We have had here has disarranged our plans all around.
