such individual by the courts or has

Two resolutions providing for wood

reasons for his action in each case.
His veto of the Market street paving
was in part as followf:
"On the subject of wood block IN

that the wearing qualities of the mate

Because she was just like one OF my

Emil Wermuth, of 107 Pacific street, to
Judge Hahn in the Third Precinct Court
today for allowing Mrs. John Daggett
Of 1sl jefferson street. to sit on his
knee
Mr. Daggett had Mr. Wermuth called
to court to explain his actions He also
said that his wife made no secrecy in
her admiration for Wernluth and had
not only sat on the latter's knee but
had also kissed him while he, Daggett,
was present.
Daggett said this had been going on
for nearly six years but that now he
was getting tired of it.
Wermuth, who was in court. smiled
as he heard Daggett relate the story
of Mrs. Daggett kissing him and sitting
on his knee.
When asked by Judge Hahn what he
had to say Wermuth replied that Dag
gett had abused his wife 50 much that
she had asked Wermuth 70 protect
her and he felt kindly toward her as
he did toward his own daughter.
LAS to her sitting on my knee in her
husbands presence, there was nothing
wrong about that"
Are you married." asked the judge
Yes, and have nine children, the old
est girl OF 81 years old was the
reply, but ! would like to call Mrs
Daggett, who is here, and she will tell
you about the way her husband abuses

Mrs. Daggett told the judge that she
had four children, the Oldest IL and the
youngest years.
Now judge. want TO tell you that

Newarker Demands Pay ior
Work, Product of Which Did
Not Fit Appropriation.
PLANS TOO ELABORATE FOR
100000 BUILDING
summonses Are Served for
Legal Proceedings After
Long Battle.

AS the result of the bitter fight over
plans for the proposed new technical
high school, Nathan Myers, a we'll
known Newark architect, today began
suit for $4,000 through his counsel
Samuel Kalisch. against the Board of
Education. Summonses were received
by the city Law Department today.
The suit Is brought to recover for
services Myers rendered to the board
in preparing plans for the technical
high school decided upon by the board
some time ago. Myers was authorized
10 prepare the plans, but after he had
submitted them the 100000 appropria-
tion for the school building was found
to be inadequate to build the kind of
structure he had provided for.
Lowest Bid Nearly Double.
When bids which were advertised for
on Myers's plans and specifications
were opened the lowest was In the
neghborhood of 100000, nearly twice
the amount OF the appropriation. This
included, however, not only the work
which the architect had planned, but
The cngineert work as we'll
Myers was called before the old elec-
tive Board of Education, which was at
that time in authority to explain the
large discrepancy between the appro-
priation and the bids. He then de-
clared that he had never been told
that the building was not to cost more
than 100000, and that no limit on the

figured on the cubic feet wanted. he
said, and the result was set of per-
fectly satisfactory plans.
In memorable meeting that lasted
into the morning after Myers and the
olG schoolhouse committee of the old
board exchanged pleasantries which
only befuddled the matter the more,
and, in despair of effecting a compro-
mise, the committee and the old board
passed the problem over as heritage
20 the new appointive board named last
January.
At that time Myers made it plain that
he would demand his fee of per cent.
on the lowest estimated bid, or aoprpxi-
mately 100000. Before the plans had
been completed he had been paid $4,000
on account This was a customary pro-
ceeding. He explained tallt his plans
had cost him more than 81, ,000 and
were valueless to him. They were the
property of the city; the Board of Edu-
cation could take them or leave them,
he declared. The board did nothing.

demanded payment from time to time,

claims to be due him was never au-

FATHER UNABLE TO WORK
ON ACCOUNT OF DISEASE
Tots Without Food and Warmth
for Three Days Finally
Assisted.

The hunger of William Strubel and
his family, which has endured three
days, was partly alleviated today by
Superintendent George w. Simmons OF
the Rescue Home, who went to their
home at 473 South Eighteenth street,
from which they are to be evicted to-
morrow morning. and provided a days
food
Strubel has been out of work five
months has been i'll from a spinal
trouble for five weeks and for five
nights his pain has been such that he
has had to remain in ,chair with a
reclining back
Three days ago the provisions in the
house gave out. There was not even
a crust of bread left There was no
fuel and because of the cold the 1-year-
old baby Frank, who is their only
child, became ILL.,
The young wife has tried valiantly to
maintain the home, working out and
taking in work to do. but with a sick
husband and a sick baby she found
herself helpless.
For three days the family went with
out food, fact that the baby was un-
able to understand Simmons heard
about the case and went down to in
vestgate. He found that immediate
help was imperative. He provided food
and fuel, built fire and saw that a
hot meal was served. Then he con-
suited with the oyerseer of the poor
and it is quite certain that for few
days they will have enough to eat.
Put tomorrow morning the landlord,
Ernest Erdmann, a butcher at 297 Six
teenth avenue, wants the fiat. Strubel
is back SIC in his rent. The landlord
demands the whole amount or nothing.
A few days ago he called for his rent
and when he found Strubel so sick that
he could not move from one position
he talked pleasantly, expressed syinpa-
thy and said the rent would be all
right.
Strubel was too ill to move, so his
wife went to court, arriving there after
the case had been disposed-.o Before
she got back home a constable had
served notice that by 10 o'clock tomor-
row the fiat must be vacated or the
constables would move the family into
the street That is the condition of the
case today.

ORC CITY is EMPLOYING 100 MINERS

Orc City, a new camp about twelve
miles from Hawthorne, and three miles
from the famous Pamlico mine which
has produced several millions in the
last few years, is rapidly coming into
the limelight. Development has been
going on since last August, says the
Western Nevada Miner, and nearly
every property there has good lodges.
There are about a hundred men in the
camp at present and all of them are
working. A mill is on the grounn and
is practically completed. 1t is expected
to start in a week or ten days. The ore
bins of the mill are full Of ore and a
large quantity of ore is deposited on
the ground waiting to be milled. The
mill will have a capacity of about ff-
teen tons per day. There is an ample
water supply, as the mill company has
a pipe line from the springs about a
mile and a half from the town.
The Orc City Townsite company,
which is operating two claims at pres
emit, and owns the mill, is formed of
Denver and New York capitalists, and
claim to have ample funds to push the

NEW YORK STOCK MARKET
SHOWS HANDSOME PROFIT

New York, June 9. Especial 1T
would be the part of wisdom for those
who bought active stock exchange Sc
c~urities last week to take their profits
now while they are sure of them. unless
purchases were made for investment
and a long pull. Stocks bought for in
vestment at any time since October are
well bought and will yield additional
handsome profits. The rising tide of
prosperity-sure to ~come-will bring
all this about.
AS the elder Morgan once said "Thc
pessimists may be right occasionally,
but in the end the natural esource of
the county will beat thcm.'
The feature of the week has been the
triumph of f. ii. Hartman in the sue
eessful floating of the Union Pacific
loan. The loan was readily taken. In.
side knowledge of its complete success
easily accounts for the strength of
Union Pacific which is again around
$50.
New York bankers who publicly com.
plain that the new currency law is
patch work-an inadequate remedy, not
designed to prevent financial ills but
only to cure them when they come-are
secretly relieved of anxiety on recount
of the laws enactment. The new law
is a life raft upon which the country
and the bankers can climb when the
ship itself gets into trouble. The new
law will give everyone confidence, anil
make a return of the conditions of last
fall practically impossible. In the
meantime the new currency commission
will be at work framing a law which
will wholly meet the country's needs.
The curb list has been "wobbly'
during the past few days-now exhibit
ing absolute weakness and again show
ing strength. The fluctuations of such
stocks as Daisy, Montana, Tonopah and
Combination Fraction in the Nevada
list, shows how easy it will be for some
big manipulation to get into this mar
ket and advance prices when the sum
mer dulness is over. We favor pur-
ehases not only of Goldfeld CONSOLE
dated and Florence, but of such good
speculative Goldfeld issues as Diamond
field, Great Bend, Atlanta, Orc, Ke-
wanas, Red Hills and st. Ives.

/ Goldfeld Consolidated has shown
more power of resistance thar any of
the curb stocks.
1t will pay spectators to watch the
mines in the camp of Seven Troughs,
especially Seven Troughs Mining trad
ed in on the Salt Lake City board and
Mazuma Hills. The conviction is grow
ing that Seven Troughs, next to Gold
field, is the best of the known gold dis
triets in Nevada. There are profits to
be made in some of these stocks.
Wonder remains in a state of trance,
and Fairview up to the present time
has succeeded in developing only a
single %mine-the Nevada Hills-al-
though there are some good prospects
there.
Bullfrog stocks are sick and the camp
has permanently lost its vogue. Man
haitian and Round Mountain are slowly
making good with a few mines.
Nevada will emerge from the orgie
of stock speculation within another
year or two with increased prestige and
with an output of precious metal which
will put it. for a long time to come, in
the front rank of gold and silver pro-
ducers.
incidentally the Comstoek lode
long neglected-is again coming to the
front. Shrewd eastern capitalists are
getting control of some of the best
mines away from the men who have
lived on assessments wrung from the
stockholders for years, and are work
ing these great mines for their ore.
Ophir Savage, Crown Point and several
others are now controlled in the east.
Ophir comes forward with a ten cent
dividend and is producing bonanza ore
from the lowest levels of the mine. The
work of a few months has put over
SO, 1000, 900 in sight.
A considerable part of the public is
still sore over mining losses made dur
ing the past year, but it will feel better
as these losses in many instances turn
into profits.
Mines cannot be made in a day or a
year. There are many good mines now
in the making whose stocks are cheap.
The public should not neglect or over
look these opportunities.

high gold values have been frequently
secured at the surface, and the small
amount of work already done empha-
sizes the fact that it is property of
great merit.
Within the past two or three weeks
several important strikes have been
made adjacent to this estate, and it has
greatly aceentuated operations in that
part of the district. Frazer creek has
a number of exceedingly good showings,
none of which, however, with the same
amount of development will show up
better than the Golden Arrow.
Considerable surface trenching will
be done in order to determine the exact
point where the richest part of this vein
comes to the surface, and when that
place is defined, a shaft will at once be
sunk and the rich shoot crosseut in
order to decide as to the extent and
character of future operations.
