NEW ORLEANS, Nov. 26.-Answer.
ing your request for statement from nc
concerning the purposes of the Knights

the prime purpose of the organization is
to develop Christian character. practics
an honorable clannishness, protect the
home and the chastity of womanhood and
to teach, inculcate and exemplify an un-
selfsh patriotism toward our glorious
country, and to preserve and 70 proclaim,
the original and fundamental American
ldeals and institutions and to STRENGTH
Ell the power and prestige of the agen-
cles OF justice and order by inducing
men properly to respect the majesty of
the law. To maintain the peace and
security of the people, even in the alb
sence or inadequacy of the forces of
law and order
The organization is non-sectional,
bipartisan, non political and non-sec
tartan, and the extent of its organized
torces IS as broad as the territorial
jurisdiction of the Stars and Stripes
and the purpose of its existence IS
everywhere the same. It never swervos
from ITS purpose on account of sec
Honal preJudices or local problems.
BENG the offspring and legitimate prog
eny OF Anglo-SaXon civilization and
fundamental American principles. it
neither fosters nor condones a,,v
propaganda of religious intolerance
or racial prejudiccs. as it stands for
religious liberty and the rightful set
ting and functioning of the races of
all the world
ut is standard fraternal order
duly incorporated and legally recog-
nlzed, and its purpose and practical
achievements have already vindicated
ITS right to live and establish its place
IN the world. 1t is neither embar-
rassed nor intimidated by adverse
criticisms born of ignorance and
prejudice. Neither does it court tho
plaudits of the populace, for. in the
sincerity of its faith and practice. tvue
to the legend Of its lineage. without
clamor and without boast it faces duty
without fear and without reproach. In
TINS 1t falters not, or ever fails; and
meeting the behest of solemn duty in
all the relationships OF life and duty
1t makes no apology and seeks no
praise.

Eo'nptroiler Craig said yesterday that
lhe Mayor had been holding up war
rahts on all kinds of city contracts for
two weeks.
Commissioner Hlrshfeld explained
mat I W. not the desire of the Mayor
10 embarrass the city contractors, but
that the warrants had been held up

'ecc the clty's interests. The contract
ofs. however, are threatening to bring

money The dock contractors on Staten
Island were said TO have threatened
mandamus proceedings against the city.
fapers IN mandamus proceeding
brought by the Uvalde Asphalt Paving
Company, through its counsel. Edward
terday on Comptroller Craig. The
Comptroller was ordered TO show cause
why he should not pay for the work
completed on three contracts with the
c'ty aggregating $4,000. The plaintiffs
based their action on the grounds that
the Comptroller had no right to inves-
agate Contracts where the work had
been finished. There are provisions in
the city charter which would seem to
support this contention.
Asked yesterday if he was still de-
termlned not to turn over any Of the
testimony or records, acquired by him
from contractors under oath to the
Corporation Counsel. who requested it,
the Comptroller said he saw no reason
to change his mind
|"Whatever | have said or done about
the Corporation Counsel has in no way
restricted his activities" said the
Comptroller, but simply has prevent
ed him from interfering with my sc
tivties."
1t is understood that several Of the
contractors building new schools are
threatening to annul their contracts
rather than submit to the decision Of
the Board of Estimate adopted at the
suggestion of the Lockwood committee
to withhold 25 per cent of all payments,
pending further progress in the city's
contract investigation.
The contractors are said to be will
ing to sign waiver agreeing that the
city was not surrendering any Of it's
rights in making the payments, but
feel that they should not be compelled
to submit to the Withholding of 25 per
cent of the payments in view Of their
own obligations.

BILLS AGAINST COUNTY
County Auditor COvinston Urges Those
Having Bills Against the County to
Present Them In an Orderly Manner,
So That a Systematic Receipt File
May be Maintained.

If you have an account against
the County, make an itemiZed bill
on your own billhead or stationery,
If you do not use printed stationery,
then any kind of good writing pa
per will do. Use sheet size 6 inch
es by s inches or about this size, as
the invoices have to be filed away
and scraps of paper are easily lost.
Write very plainly. Claims some
times have to be held up on account
of not being eligible. BE sure to
give the date. address and don't
forget to sign your name. You may
be Bill Jones, but how are we to
know it unless you sign your name
on the invoice?
Get your prices right; have your
quantity right and be sure your eX-
tensions are correct. Why? Yes we
check every one of them, and as it
does not rain, until the moon chang
es again, all that are incorrect are
carried over to the First Monday of
the next month.
The law requires that you swear
to the account. Bring Or mail your
account to the County Auditor in
the Register of Deeds office on or
before the first day of each month.
If you cannot come, send some one
to sign for the account. If this is
not convenient, sign your name on
the invoice and have someone to
witness your signature. Then mail
it to the County Auditor and he will
file claim for you. Do not wait UNI
til the First Monday. We want
your account just as soon after as
it is made, or as soon after the last
of each month as possible. The rea-
son for this is that the account will
have to be audited which takes some
time when there are many accounts
and it is necessary before approval
for payment. The Board has other
matters to attend to which consum-
cs their limited time and necessi-
tates that the accounts be presened
to them by the Auditor ready for
approval instead of having to wait
for them to be Audited.
We positively do not want the
lGountys accounts to get old. Pre-
sent your claim promptly and never
later than thirty days after the &C
count has been made. No claims
longer than thirty days will be en-
tcrtained or recognized. This is i'm
peritative in order that we may
