, loan Of 81. .000.o 900 for the Government of
Nicaragua
Tho money will be advanced by the firm

This money will he regarded as a tempo
rary loan to meet the most urgent needs
OF the Nicaraguan Government until fur
,her plans for the rehabilitation OF Nicar-
aguan finances can be put into effect

is regarded as of the highest Importance
here because OF the light II casts on the
policy OF the Wilson Administration to-
ward Nicaragua and Central American
republics generally. II really marks
continuation OF the Taft-knox policy to-
ward Nicaragua and commits the new Ad-
rninistration to the same methods of help
ing Nicaragua out of her difficulties as
were pursued by its predecessor.
As a matter of fact the loan could not
have been secured for Nicaragua had It
not been for the assistance and coopera-

wards the thousand dollars needed to
carry through the season. The new
uniforms have been ordered from
A. G. Spalding 4 Co, of San
Francisco. The mill team will have
a uniform of white with a faint navy
blue stripe running lengthwise. The
uniforms of the Office men will be
white suits with black caps and black
trimmings. The shop team will ap-
pear in light gray with hair line

players will look when rigged out in
their war togs. there will be no lack
of enthusiasm nor opportunity for
the kiekers.
Several of the former players
including Beatty, Griffith and Kennoy
have already arrived and more are
coming. All contracts are expect
ed TO be on file at league headquar-

Athletes in the county high

that should be in the winning class.
In the so, 100 and 220 yard dashes
Peterson and Waldo Duddleson are
showing up well, and doing the 50
yard dash in about 3-5 seconds, the
100 in 10 3-5 seconds and the 220
in "a 2-5 seconds. Some equally
good showings are being made in the
hurdles by Fox, Brim and Benson,
who have been making the 220
yards in 80 seconds. In the other
events, likely material is found in
Decker and Deckleman for the p
mile run. Deekleman and Fox for

entered January 10, 1911, trial was
commenced June of the same year
and completed June 10, since which
date four briefs have been submitted
to the court from the contending
parties. bearing on the case.
The suit is one growing out of the
building of the MeGill school house
by the plaintiff partners, who took
action for recovery on alleged breach
of contracts and for sums claimed to
be due the plaintiff firm.
According to the contract as set
forth in Judge Coleman's decision,
the school house was to be built for
$4,000, with no extras to be
charged. OF the original sum repre-
senting the contract price of the
school house, there yet remains un-
paid s2,745.55. Recovery Of this
balance due was included in the suit
and the plaintiffs also claimed two
items for extras, although the con-
tract holds the defendants respon-
sible for no extras unless ordered in
writing. rhe decision of lie court
is that the plaintiffs therefore can
not recover in view of tn |. agree
ment. One item for extras included
bill of $41s.05 for painting. The

testified that he figured all of the
painting in the original bid, and the
claim is denied, the Judge holding
that the testimony of the plaintiff
was sufficient to offset the claim. The
plaintiffs were also unable to produce
in court any written orders for ex-
tras, as called for by the contract.
Judge Coleman in his decision
says: what has been said disposes
of the case except as to the counter
claim of the defendant, wherein the
defendant asks judgment against
plaintiffs for $3,003.97, less the
amount unpaid on original contract,
1t being contended that defendant is
entitled to recover said sum of
s3.003.97. because of certain mat
ters alleged in the answer"
One item of the .counterclaim of
the defendants is for $675 claimed as
damages by loss of rental of school
house for dances and social purposes,
due to the delay in completing the
building. The court denies the pay
ment of this claim, but rules that the
defendants should recover for the
following amounts:
The sum or s125.00 because of
failure to put in crate of the size or
dered; $500 on account of the con-
dition of the outside walls; s33S.75
on account of polishing floors;
$534.47 for unworkmanlike plaster
ing on the interior of the building:
800 for failure to put marble backs
and sides on urinal stalls. as provided
in contract; $4,000 for failure to
put in air duets in ceiling as stipu-
lated. making the total sum in favor
of the defendants of $1700.22.
