COUNCIL COMMITTEE DOES
NOT UPHOLD THE AUDITOR
Report Made in Regard to Charges
as to Work on Fifth Street
Engine House

A committee of the councill, composed
of Wallace, Clampitt and Lyon, was
appointed yesterday to investigate the
charges of City Auditor Mushet that
the Fifth street engine house is not
being built according to specifications
Several weeks ago Mr.. Mushet held
up the demand of the F. o. Engstrom
company for $50OO a payment on the
contract price for the engine house
on the ground that the work was not
what the city was paying for. The
council referred the matter to the board
of public works and the board referred
it to Building Inspector Backus. Mr.
Backus filed a report with the board
Tuesday, in which he said that as far
as he could determine the building was
according to specifications.
The board reported this fact to the
council yesterday and recommended
the demand be approved in spite of the
objections of the auditor. Mr.. Mushet
told the council that he had evidence
that the concrete that went into the
building was not mixed according to

BOND ELECTION TO

HEWITT AND LELANDE HOLD
MIMIC WARFARE
Question as to Legality of Voting on
Two Bond Propositions at
One Time Is to Be
Decided

Another domestic squabble mas peguh
among the city officials, but 1t Is only
in fun, and while City Attorney HeWltt
and CITY Clerk Lelande have tiSuratlVe-
lv slammed each other on the wrist, they
did it in such manner that II didh
hurt much. -,
The council recently passed an ordl-
nance calling a bond election for fep
ruary 16, at which time the matter Oh
issuing $S,5OO,00O Of bonds Tor % OWENS 0oo n6S
river power development and $4,000, OOO
of bonds for harbor development will be
voted on by the people. ~,
But City Clerk Lelande arose In MS
wrath and Indignantly refused TO pup
lish the ordinance or certify to It's pas
sage by the council. He wasn't really
Indignant. He just acted that way,
and did it because the city attorney
told him to and prodded him into the
job.
Assistant city Attorney Shenk re-
ported the facts to the council yester-
day and asked permission to hale Mr..
Ielande into court on mandamus and
punish him for his action. The council
felt a little sympathy for Mr. Lelande
ard granted him $3.50 for attorney
fees to defend his case. ]. G. scar
borough win be retained to defend MI
Lelande, and Mr.. Hewitt will prosecute
the case for the city.
All this domestic broil is brought
about because there is some doubt OF
the legality of presenting two bond
propositions at the same elction. Mr..
Hewitt believesc 1t can be done, but he
wants the courts to bear him out, and
the matter is to be taken to the su-
preme court Immediately on friendly
mandamus suit to determine the rights
Iin the case.

CITY COUNCIL DECIDES TO
PURCHASE WATER BONDS
Favorable Action is Taken on First
Recommendation of Sinking
Fund Commission

The first act of the new sinking fund
commission, composed of the finance
committee of the council, was the
recommendation to the council at q
special meeting last night that $4,000
of 1901 3& per cent water bonds be
purchased from the First National
bank.
The council acted on the recommen-
dation and ordered the bonds with ac-
crued interest from June 1, 1909, to
December 3, 1909. purchased for $50,
363.91. The council believes it secured
a bargain in these securities.
Money for the purchase of these
bonds is to be taken from the sinking
fund set aside to redeem the bonds at
maturity. This will save the interest
on the bonds from the time they are
purchased until they would mature If
held by others. The series ordered
purchased yesterday are in blocks of
$4,000 each and fall due in one year
periods from June 1, 1911, to June l,

FORMER NEWSBOY TAKES A
FATAL DOSE

Gas and Died After Hurried
Trip to the Receiving
Hospital

Harold Watrous, 20 years of age,

made a saturated solution of strych-
nine and drank it in his room at 217
South Main street and then turned on
the gas. The smell of the gas at
tracted his landlord and he was dis
covered and removed to the hospital.

his life, but he did not possess vitality
enough to overcome the effect of the
drug. The body was removed to the
morgue of Pierce Brothers, where Cor
oner Hartwell will hold an inquest.
The father and mother of the dead
boy live at 1916 East Thirty-third

J. C. PALEN TELLS POLICE
HARD LUCK STORY
PERPLEXlNG FORGERY PLANS
ARE ALLEGED
Robert 3. Stitt, Who Says He Is a
Lawyer, Is Claimed to Have
Worked Scheme with
Accomplice

A case of alleged swindling and
forgery was revealed yesterday when
Attorney J. c. Palen, who has offices
in the Bullard block, and representa-
tives of the Home Savings bank, ap-
peared at the central police station,
where Deputy District Attorney Paul
Mccormick issued a complaint charg-
ing Robert B. Stltt, who said he was
an attorney, with forgery, and James
S. Arata with passing a worthless
check.
The alleged forgery plans were the
most complicated and unique that have
come to the notice of the police for
some time.
The detectives, who were given the
arrest warrants, have little hopes of
capturing the two, as they have left
the city and it is not known where they
stayed in this city, but they are said to
have come here from the east
According to Palen's story to Deputy
District Attorney Paul Mccormick,
Stitt called at his office and stated
that a second hand dealer named Kor-
noffsky wanted Stitt substituted for
Palen in a case on docket in the su-
perior court
Palen agreed to the transfer and
drew up articles of substitution and
told Stitt that his fee for what he had
done was $25.

Stitt Calls Again

Stttt calls Again
About two days afterward Stitt Wis
tied the office of Palen and said that
he had appeared in court and caused
the dismissal of the case. Palen COM
plimented Stitt on the good work in the
matter and remarked that Kornoffsky
had on file a bond. for $50 and advised
Stitt to draw 1t down. He acted on the
advice and the two men went to the
Home Savings bank where Palen had
an account.
Stitt then turned over the check to
Palen, who deposited the paper and
then gave Stitt a check for $25 and
receipt for a similar amount showing
that he had been paid in full for his
services i'm the action.
The following day Stitt again ap-
peared at the office of Palen with
friend whom he introduced as James S.
Arata. Stitt then explained to Palen
that Arata was a client and was being
sued In n suit filed in the superior
court Stitt said he was compelled to
leave the city and go to San Diego to
attend to important business and would
be unable to represent Arata and
wanted to turn the case over to Palen.
PaIen Is Given Check
Palen agreed to look after the inter
ests of Arata and the latter gave him
a check for $3.50 drawn on the Interna-
tional Savings and Exchange bank.
Palen took the paper and deposited 1t
i'm the Home Savings bank.
The next day it is alleged. Stitt went
to the bank and presented check for
s4O6 So, which bore Palen's name. Later
the Arata check was returned by the
International Savings and Exchange
bank with n statement to the effect
that the person whose name was signed
TO the instrument had no account there.
When this forged check was eashed
It left the account of Palen in such
shape that there were not enough
funds to meet the check presented by
Stitt. Palen thereupon was notified
and he hurried to the bank and found
that the check bearing hts name was
a forgery.
Palen waited a few days, hoping that
Stitt would return and when the latter
failed to make his appearance he re-
ported the matter to the police.

NEW HIGH RECORD
IN JULY WHEAT
Remarkable Activity Is Display
ed In The Market
NOT ENOUGH RAIN IN TEXAS
Corn Reaches New High t'gures for
the Season, Which Is Due Princi-
paIIy to Gain In Wheat-oats
and Provisions Strong.
NOT ENOUGH RAIN IN TEXAS

Chicago, March 2-Crcp damage reports
and heavy sales of the cash grain caused
a 2-cent advance in wheat prices here to-
day. The July delivery incidentally
touched new high record mark for the
session at s1,O6. The market closed strong
at net gains for the day of Ao to nc.
Corn, oats and provisions also closed
strong.
The bulge in wheat followed a weak
opening, and was the occasion of marked
activity In the wheat pit Trade In the
July delivery was especially heavy owing
to stampede among shorts, who bought
freely during the last half of the session
as a result Of reports from Texas and
southern Illinois, telling of injury to the
fall-sown crop. Absence Of rain during
the winter months was said to have
caused considerable deterioration In the
condition of the wheat crop in Texas.
revived demand for the cash grain helped
the May delivery Local sales for the
day aggregated 123, coo. but the great bulk
of which was red winter wheat The
market opened rather weak, with prices
unchanged to ssc lower. Before the end
of the first half hour however, prices
had advanced about nc from the low
point on buying by commission houses.
For time trading was dull and prices
had advanced about 1ac from the point
on buying by commission houses. For a
time trading was dull and prices held
fairly steady. During the final nour
prices advanced steadily and at the close
were almost at the top, May being at
$1.1Sss and July 81 .057sd1 O6.
New high record marks for corn were
established Today when the May delivery
sold at SIC per bushel and the July at
669sc. The advance was due chiefly to the
bulge in wheat, which brought out ac-
tive covering by shorts. The market
closed strong, with prices almost at the
top at net gains of &411sc. May closed
at &c and July at 66Aq66ssc.
The price of oats also advanced to new
high record marks for the season as q
result of the strength of wheat and corn.
The market closed strong, with prices
up 9sQ%c to bc, compared with the pre-
vious close, May being at 55ssc and July
at 50ssc.
Provisions were strong all day and at
the close prices showed net gains of 15@
177ac to 221Ac, compared with yesterdays
final quotations. The market was bull
ishly affected by the monthly statement
of contract stocks In store here which
recorded a considerable decrease, and also
by a decrease in the worlds stock of
lard.
Cash quotations ranged as follows
