The audience got considerable fun
out of the discussion of the mixup
with the musicians at the council meet
ing Monday night, but the politicians
could not see anything funny in it.
For once they were cornered where
they had no chance to dodge and play
on both sides of the fence and they
did not like it little bit. Some of
the explanations being made today

CAPTURED SHIP CONTRACTS

Rear Admiral Francis Tiffany
Bowles proved his great enterprise
when he bid against the world for the
contract to build two mammoth battle
ships for the Argentine Republic and
walked off with the prize. The price
is not given, but it must be a large
sum, judging by the figures that show
size and armament. The two vessels
are the Rivadavia and the Moreno, the
former of which is now being built at
the Bowles sh;pyards in Quincy, Mass.

JUDGE WALTER BORDWELL

Judge Walter Bordwell was the pre-
siding Judge in the Mcnamara trial
at Los Angeles, which abruptly ended
by the confession of guilt of the &C.
cused, and it was he who pronounced
the prison sentences upon the broth
ers. The judge issued a formal state
ment giving his views as to the trial
and especially what brought about its
termination This, he said, was done
with the hope of correcting if possible
some misconceptions due to errone-
Gus publications.
In the first place, the judge declared,
the claim or suggestion that the ter
mination of the cases was due to the
efforts of outsiders who undertook to
influence the officers of the court
