SESSION TO HEAR
NEW GARBAGE SUIT

Superior Court will sit in special
session here tomorrow with Chief
Justice Pennewill, Judge Woolley and
Judge Rice on the bench to consider
the application of Robert G. Harman,
representing Daniel Mccormick, Ct
al, in an application for a second
writ of mandamus, compelling Mayor
Howell TO sign the garbage contracts
awarded to Mr. Mccormick and other
contracts by the recent Board Of
Health
Several weeks ago the same court
refused a similar ~rit sustaining the
contracts as given by the present
Board of Health. on the ground that
the contract which II was sought to
have the mayor sign was not the one
the previous Board Of Health and the
contractors had entered into under the
printed specifications.
The new case will involve ques-
tions not raised in the previous suit.

LONDON, Nov. 23.-Interest in the
war situation shifted today from the
belligerents, whose delegates are pre-

cere desire to work out the terms for q
truce to the great neighboring powers
Austria and Russia. These riv ais
are strengthening their border forces
at an hour when the statesmen of all
the powers are spreading broadcast
assurances that their only policy is
to subordinate rivalries aud interests
to the common welfare of Europe in the
cause of peace.
No threatening factor in the situa-
tion is known which has not existed
since the beginning of the war, unless
it is the near approach of the Servian
army to the Adriatic and the steps
toward mobilization may mean moth
Ing more than mutual distrust.
When the crisis arose over Bosnia
and Herzegovina, both Russia and
Austria came nearer to q war footing
than they seem to be now, yet the war
cloud drifted away.
