tute, at the request of Mrs. Heilner,
who sought to furnish employment to
some needy man.

CITY Holds BACK s1,13O
FROM Contractors PAY
Refuses to Turn Over That Amount TO
Walter Until It Is Determined Who
Is Liable For injuries to Woman
Who Fell Into Hole in Street

Charles P. Walter, asphalt repairs
contractor, to-day certified to the city
that he has put all streets in repair
and has complied with his fve-year
contract which ran to April 1, last.
City officials said this morning, how
ever, that for the present only $2.620
of the remaining unpaid quarterly al
lowanee of $3.50 will be paid to the
contractor. The amount to be withheld
from Walter, $1,1SO, represents the
amount of s1,050 verdict which
Lulu and William O'Brien obtained
against the city in damage suit
brought as the result of injuries Mrs.
0'Brien suffered when she fell into a
hole in the asphalt in Court street al
most two years ago. 1t also includes
the amount of costs entailed through
the cout action in that damage suit.
The S1,1S0 is to be withheld by the
city at the suggestion of the con.
tractors surety company, so officials
said, and also because the city has dis
claimed liability for Mrs. O'Brien s
injuries, contending the street repair
contractor was at fault in not having
repaired the hole into which Mrs.
0'Brien fell.
The contractor is TO receive the
s2,620 installment next week. Walter
has been informed of the eity's inten.
tion to withhold s1,1S0 and he said
to-day that while he believes the city
should bear the cost of the O'Brien
damsge suit, it is entirely likely that
his lawyer and City Solicitor Seitz will
get together shortly-probably next
week-and amieably frame an issue
TO have the court determine without a
jury trial, who actually is liable for
the damages.

late WAR news SUMMARY

The new battle in Belgium, which
has developed suddenly into one of
the most important encounters in the
west since the present battle line was
formed, is being carried on by re-
lentless German attack and a deter
mined resistance on the part of the
British. 1t Is now apparent that the
Germans have brought up heavy rein
forcements for this attack, and it is
suggested in London that their i'm
mediate objective is the capture of
Ypres, preliminary to another attempt
to break through to the English Chan
mel.
An official statement from the Brit
ish war office to-day says that the
British troops are still lighting for the
ground which they were compelled to
yield to the Germans. The loss of these
positions exposed the Canadian divi-
sion, which was compelled to fall
back. The Canadians lost four pieces
Of artillery, but later recaptured them
in a counter attack which, although
occasioning heavy losses is described
IS successful. Berlin is elated at the
German victory and newspapers there
say that 1t evens the score for the
British capture of Neuve Chapelle last
month,
The Finnish steamer Frack has been
