The stream of traffic set
with her. She needed 1t not. The
streets were full of excited groups, but
there was no great tumult yet. Men
were eagerly reading the latest edi-
tons of the papers. Sophy pushed on
till she reached Casimir's house. She
was known there. Her coming caused
surprise to the concierge. 1t was not
the proper thing, but he made no diff
ficulty. He showed her to Casimir's

give no information save that he pre-
sumed he would return to sleep.

said, and. as the man left her, she
went to the window, flung it wide open

finite talk, infinite chaff, infinite laugh
ter rose to her ears. A loud voiced fell
low was selling pictures of the king Of
Prussia, as he looks now, and as he
will look! The second sheet never
failed of great success. Bands Of
lads came by with flags and warlike
shouts. Some cheered them, more
laughed and chaffed. One broad faced
old man she distinguished in the cafe
opposite. He looked glufn and sulky
and kept arguing to his ncighbor, wag-
ging fat forefinger at him repeatedly
The neighbor shrugged bored Shout

the stir grew greater, the bands of
marching students more frequent and

amid the same mixture of applause
and tolerant amusement. A party of
girls paraded down the middle of the
street. singing "J'aime les militaires!'
The applause grew to thunder as they
went by, and the laughter broke into
one great crackle when the heroines
had passed.

CITY COMMITTED TO
CONSTRUCTION WORK
Bids on Jawbone Section Submitted by
Contractors Were All In Excess
of Estimate Made by
Engineers

The board of public works formally
passed the resolution yesterday to re-
ject all bids submitted for the con-
struction Of the Jawbone section of the
Owens river aqueduct. The recon-
mendation of the advisory committee,
submitted Thursday night, did not
meet with the ideas of the board ana
the committee held a special meeting
yesterday morning at which 1t made
practically the same recommendation
in little different phraseology.
BY the rejection of all bids the city
is committed to the construction of
this section of the aqueduct by day
labor. and work will begin as soon as
the first installment of bond money
is received, which will be during the
present month. 1t is planned to spend
about So 100000 on the aqueduct during
the present fiscal year, and this money
will give employment to thousands or
men who are daily begging the board
of public works for an opportunity TO
earn their bread.
The hoard found all bids submitted
too high. The estimate for this sec+
ton of the conduit was about $2,O0000O
and it was believed there was fair
margin of profit at that figure for the
lucky contractor, but every bid went
above that sum and Engineers Mulhol-
land and Lippincott are of the opinion
the city can do it much under the
estimate.
The total amounts of the bids sub
mitted were as follows Atlantic, Gulf
G. Pacific company, $685., 965.70; NC
Arthur Bros, $2,S76,570; John Moran,
So. 294. 90. "a; Robert Sherer, $2,357S2S;

made estimates on one section alone.

ATTORNEY MUST STAND TRIAL
FOR EMBEZZLlNG GOLD BARS

Demurrer to the complaint charging
Edmund Burke with embezzling four
gold bars valued at several hundred
dollars was overruled by Police JUS
flee Frederickson yesterday morning,
and the preliminary examination was
set for August 4. Burke is out on bail
in the sum of $500.
Burke, who is an attorney, argued
his own demurrer, claiming there were
errors in the complaint and the af-
fdavit was faulty.
The gold bars are the property of A.
Fl. Deahl, a miner, who had them
taken as samples from his mine near
Searchlight, New. Burke declares he
never took the samples in question.
