road would be undertaken by the Fris-
CO.
If the Frisco determines to leave the
Houck lines and pay the damages in
their law suit, cash has to be paid in
redeeming the bonds, for which moth
ing will be obtained in return and the
road would be lost in addition.
Mr., Schultz yesterday declared that
of the two schemes, although no one
knows what the Frisco officials will do.
it seems highly probable that the F'ris-
co will follow the former course and
use the road.
"The road may be put in first-class
branch line shape for 100000" Mr..
Schultz said. "Our engineer as well
as engineers Of the Frisco have made
estimates on the cost of the rchabilita-
ton of the line and that is the figure
that we reach. With that much money
spent on the line, the road would make
money.
eve run through rich territory
and there is no reason why our traffic
should not make money. We are break
ing even now and making all our cx-
penses with the road in its present
shape. In our present condition the
road never can make surplus enough
to pay for its own improvements, but
if the improvements are financed, the
road will pay for itself.
81 am convinced that the c. G.. & y.
is worth five per cent on S1.890,OOO
to the Frisco and if they undertake lis
operation they will find that out
$50 far as the benefit of the city
of Cape Glrardeau, 1t would be mucn
better if the Frisco pays it's damages
and turns the road back to the bond
holders, for the reason that it will
mean more railroad connections for
the Cape
THE section of the line from the
Cape to Thebes bridge could be either
disposed of to another linSor financed
for operation by the commercial inter
ests of the city and then all the rail-
roads crossing the river could be
brought to the Cape's door.
'No one wants to buy this road now,
however, because they don't want to
consider buying law suit. Judge SaE-
born's decision on the damages follow
ing by the Frisco's decision will settle
the fate of the c. G. & \. and I hone
that it Is rehabilitated."

JUDGE SANBORN
Continued from page 1.

recommending the judgment for ST.,
500, 900.
He said the master should have
found out the market value - the
bonds at the time of the breach of
the contract by the receivers for the
Frisco Company, and rendered a iudg-
ment for the difference between the
market value at that time and the par
value of the bonds.
Consequently the case was returned
to Fauntleroy for further investiga-
ton on the worth of the bonds and it
was this case which was closed July
10 when testimony was finished bear
ing on the market value of the bonds
of the c. G. & \. at the time the
breach of the contract occurred.
NJ. Louis Houck and Major Glib
oney HOuck, as well as r. H. Schultz
attended the hearing from the Cape
and John d. Johnson was one Of the
! attorneys representing the Houck in
terests at the hearing.
Five prominent bond brokers were
examined on the witness stand. and the
/ testimony of each indicated that the
bonds had no market value at the time
the breach of contract occurred and
the guarantee of the Frisco was re-
moved from them.
As a consequence, it is expected that
Judge Sanborn now will fix the amount
of damages that the Frisco Company
has 70 pay at the full par value of the
S1,500O00 bond issue.
The reorganization men of the FRS
co then may elect to either take over
the c. G. & n. and operate it, or pay
the damages and return the road to
the bondkolders, clearing the Frisco 5
skirts forever of the Houck lines.
In the event that the former plan
is followed, the c. G. & y bonds may
be retired or paid for by new ) per
cent bonds of the newly reorganized
Frisco. The reofganizers would not be
spending any cash in settling the in

NEEDING
REPAIRS

Two miles of the new water
front viaduct from Old Tacoma
to Ruston, built five years ago at
an expense of nearly 100000, is
in decrepit condition and must be
repaired Immediately or accidents
will occur.
Commissions Gronen notified
the city council of this condition
today, besides telling of three
bridges and filled-in street
which are in bad condition.
This work has to be done at
once" said Gronen, "or else 1
will have to close these streets.
l have no money to do the work,
and l do not know where it is
coming from. There was no ap-
preparation in the budget for this
work"
The north waterfront viaduct
was built mainly for the use of
fire vehicles in reaching the many
mills along the harbor, but 1t has
become a main artery of COM
merce and is in constant use.
Terredoes have eaten into the
pilng, while driftwood and logs
from the mills have dislodged the
supports and weakened the
bridge. The city has no pile-driv-
er or other means of rebuilding
the trestle, even IL 1t had the
money.
Street aad Bridge Supt. Nc
Gregor said today that he would
try to induce the smelter to run
it's electric trains along the via
duct and dump Stag on the water
side, thus supporting the struc-
ture and acting as breakwa-
ter.
The bridges and streets that
are in dangerous condition are
North goth, 30th and 31st. in Old
Tacoma. 1t will cost $4,000 to
repair them, Gronen told the
council.

Roll of Wire In Mad
Dash Down Hillside

An unruly roll of telephone
wire went on a rampage today
and jostling out the rear end of
Sunset Telephone truck at
Opera alley and 18th street, cut
wide swath In its mad dash
down the hill through the traffic.
After narrowly missing several
pedestrians II bounced through a
plate glass widow in the French
Drug Co.'s store and settled In
bunch of marshmallows.
The little riot lasted only two
minutes. The driver of the truck
ran madly after the rolling mass
OF wire which weighed about $50
pounds, but was unable to over
take It.
Agile shoppers managed to
give the wire a wide birth, but
John Minar, street cleaner, barely
missed being bumped into the
bay.
Mrs. Ellis Lewis Garretson,
who was admiring the window
display in the drug store window,
was struck on the dress by the
wire as 1t plunged over the curb

against the torture and tore her
hands as she vainly tried to break
those awful bonds. Sometimes
she even poured the bitter dregs
of unavailing regret into the
crystal chalice that Love held to
her lips. Sometimes she beat her
breast and made sacrifice to the
dragon which held her there in
vain hope of release. Sometimes
her very heart stood still at his
haunting whisper, Love is free.
He may go where he will and you
may not follow" He will tire
of resting on your heart and go
to someone who can follow him
in all his rigorous flights"
Sometimes - some beautiful
blessed times-she forgot for a
short while. she forgot everything
except that she had found Love
and he was in her arms close,
close to her breast and his very
heart beat in unison with hers.
When he whispered into her
ravished ear that he would rather
stay beside her, bound as she was,
then float through Paradise with
another, his words became an
anaesthetic which deadened her
lifelong pain.
Gaily she drew the draperies of
everyday life over the bleeding
wounds that the ever-tightening
bonds were making; proudly she
held up her head and proclaimed
to the world with smile that her
positions against the cold, unfeel-
ing rock was one of choice.
Deeper and deeper she buried
Love within her heart even while
she denied his very existence.
She often wearied him with the
question, will you always be
content to live only in my hearth"
Well knowing that contentment
is something one cannot bring at
will; but it must come and go as
fate foretells.
And SO she must live from day
to day, this unfortunate one, al
ternately fainting under the Bills
tering sun of comment and freez-
ing in the darkness as she sees
the will-o'-the-whisp of happiness
departing from her.
In the corner of the court OF
fate the malignant fairy sits and
croons and laughs. my dear
she says. don't you know you
have had your day with Love?
Henceforth you must be satisfied
with other things and for
get"
Each tear the woman sheds
seems to expand her wrecked
soul as the diamond dewdrop does
a flower. Each sigh as it is borne
to her seems a bit of summer
breeze which she must have to
live. Each look at the tortured
face is joy to her, for she knows
that when the bonds which hold
her present victim to the torture
rack becomes too heavy, when
Love leaves her and life becomes
unbearable, she will find another
to take her place.
