The dirt road between Twelfth and
Fifteenth on Palean will be left with

books. The shortage for the first and second terms footed up $13111.26. It is asserted that the major portion of the shortage occurred during the first term and the bondsmen for that term have been served with notice that they would be required to pay it.
 The bondsmen for the second term and the amount they quali- fled for are as follows:
 c. F. Greenlee, s25, 900; J. s. Thomas, $2O,000; Parker c. Evan, $2O, 900; w. L. Jefferies, s20, GOO; J. Ps Lee, S10,0 M. J. Manning. 5000; L. G. Mur- phey, 5000, A. L. Benton, $2, GOO; R. l.. Benton, S2, 900; w. V. Powell, $5,00O; J. A. Sain, $2, 900; Henry Wolf, $2,000; I. Scholem, $2, GOO; H. c. Strong, $2, 900; K. M. Henderson, S1, GOO; F. T. Murphy, $1,0O0; R. J. Torry, $500; J. s. Mayberry, $500: J. c. Palmer, $500; J. D. Rodgers, $500; Ben Emmons, $500: w. J. Bonds, $500; Gus Roescher, $500.
 There is quite an issue among the bondsmen. It is claimed that some of those who qualified for the largest amounts contend that there should be no differ ence in the amounts to be paid; that all should pay an equal amount of the shortage instead of each paying the proportionate amount according to the amount qualified for. It is asserted how ever that Judge Thomas, Parker C. Evan and several others who qualified for large sums have very magnanimously agreed to pay their proportionate amount of the loss which will mean much to those who qualified for small CT amounts.
 So far nothing has been done, definitely speaking. towards a permanent adjustment and it is beginning to look like it will re- require court of equity to set tie it and it is said counsel has been employed.
 There will be another meeting of the bondsmen on Tuesday. next.

CIRCUIT COURT SENSATIONS
Prominent County Officials and Citizens Under h.
 dCtmen and on Trial. The County TTeasuefs Rondsmsn Employ Legal Counsel

Possibly never in all the his tory of Monroe county has there been such shake up'- so con- tinous sensation so to speak - as has prevailed for tha past month, since the shortage of County Treasure Wallace Ora ham was officially made public.
 It was predicted when the personel of the present Grand Jury was made public that there would be something doing" in the way of sensations when that body convened as twas known that many on the jury were among the strongest, best busi- ness men of the county. who would be fearless and impartial in matters brought before them. Even with these predictions the public was hardly prepared for the sensations that have fol lowed.
 At this writing (Thursday noon) the trial of County Judge s. T. Holloway for failure to re- quire settlement from the Treas urer is being heard. Judge Hol- loway is said to be under indict- ment for other charges which may result in his suspension from office.
 Circuit Clerk Jas. Engel was suspended because of being un- der indictment for having assist ed in or influenced a loan from Treasurer Graham. Jno. s. Black was appointed in his stead, pending a settlement of charges. A number of other indictments have been found the Grand Jury which has now been in session during the entire three weeks of court.
 On Wednesday of this week it was announced that the Grand Jury had returned nine more in- di ctments.

AIRSHIP LINE TO
GIRDLE THE GLOBE
Zeppelin Dirigibles Flying Be-
tween London, New York and
Peking Is Planned

WASHINGTON. March 30.-A line of
Zeppelin airships. to ply between New
York and London, via Peking, is pro-
posed by A. Brodbeck. president of the
Aero club of Utah, who says he is al
ready negotiating with Count Zeppelin.
While the line would carry passen-
gers, Brodbeck had written to POST
master General Hitchcock asking If the
postoff1ce department has authority to
transport mail by airships. He has
been advised it could not be done un-
less congress should specify airships as
one of the means Of transportation.
In his proposal, Brodbeck says the
practicability of the Zeppelin ship
has been proved.
1t would average 40 miles an hour,
he says. and the principal stations on
the proposed route would be New
York, Chicago. Omaha, Denver, Salt
Lake City. San Francisco. Seattle. Fort
William, Bering, Sakhalin, Tokyo.
Peking, Irkutsk, Omsk, Orenburg,
Moscow, st. Petersburg, Riga, Berlin,

RULING TO AFFECT
SUlTSfOR $5OO,OOO
Attorney for S. P. Moves to
Nonsuit Case of Margaret
G. Eliopolus

A new point of law, said to affect the
validity of damage suits for upward of
100000 against public service and
other corporations, was raised for the
first time yesterday in the action of
Margaret G. Eliopolus, who is suing
in Judge Muraskys court for $4,000
damages from the Southern Pacific for
Eliopolus.
Attorney Stanley Moore, represent
ing the railroad corporation, moved for
nonsuit on the ground that the
widow was not entitled to sue in her
own name. The amendment to section
1870 of the civil code, adopted in 1907,
was cited by Moore in support of his
motion. BY that section, as amended.
it is provided that in all damage cases
in which negligence of a fellow servant
is alleged suit must be started by the
personal representative" of the estate,
meaning either the executor or the
administrator.
Stephen V. Costello and James f.
Brennan, attorneys for the plaintiff,
cited the code of civil procedure. which
authorizes action for damages to be be-
gun by either the heirs or the personal
representative. To obviate difficulty,
however, they asked permission to
amend the complaint so as to insert
the name of the administrator. This
Moore declined to accede to. AT the
conclusion of a lengthy argument,
Judge Murasky said the matter was too
important to decide offhand and took
it under submission.
All damage suits now pending more
than one year against corporations in
which negligence by a fellow servant is
involved will be thrown out of court
if Moore's point is sustained. Costello,
who is one of the leading lawyers in
this class of litigation, says there are
enough such suits to aggregate claims
of $5O0,000.

GOVERNOR REFUSES
GIFT OF S4OO, ,OOO
Will Not Accept Repudiated
South Carolina Bonds

CARSON CITY, New, March 30-An
action to compel Governor Dickerson
TO accept 100000 worth of repudiated
bonds of South Carolina came up before
the supreme court of Nevada today
The governor has refused to accent
the bonds as gift to the state and
the action is brought to enforce him
to take them.
Attorneys representing the New York
brokers insist that under the law the
governor will be compelled to accept
the bonds. On the other hand, counsel
for the state argues that the governor
can not be mandamused, as it is con-
trary to the constitution of the state
for the executive to act in judiciary
or legislative capacity. On this account
the writ could not be served, say the
states attorneys.
