oath OF their husbands.
II am more than gratifed at the re-

ward. 1.-THE interest displayed by the
women was remarkable. In fact, they
showed In many cases fuller knowl-
edge OF our Government than the men
did. I told some OF them II would be
good for them to teach their husbands
some more"
There were $50 mems names on the
calendar. and approximately 100 OF these
had their wives with them, in pursuance
OF the Justices instructions. Most OF
the men we're accepted readily as
citizens. One. however, who struck q
snag was Rudolph Friml, musical COM

with him and they have one small child.
his record showed that he had been

Virtually every person living at and

Scouts. firemen and several posses,
were searching yesterday for George
Quick, IL years old, who has been
missing since Tuesday from the home
of his parents, Mr.. and Mrs. Edwin

A general alarm also was sent out
by the police of this city for Catherine
Sands, 21a years old, who disappeared
from in front of her home, 167 East
Eighty-seventh street. between and
s o'clock Wednesday afternoon.
The Quick family moved to Roosevelt
from Brooklyn only ten days ago The
missing boys parents thought for time
that he may have grown homesiclS and
returned to Brooklyn. but they believe
now that he either was lost in the woods
or was drowned in one of the many mill
ponds in that section.
Mrs Quick saw her son playing in the
yard shortly after noon on Wednesday.
An hour later she wanted to send him
to the store. but could not find him.
None of the neighbors remembered see
ing him. and when the father failed to
find him through telephone calls to the
homes of friends, an alarm was given
out.
The Sands child is the daughter of
Mr.. and Mrs. Michael F. Sands and is
one of four children who live on the
third floor of crowded tenement house
between Third and Lexington avenues.
Mrs. Sands said she was doing her
housework when she noticed that Cath
crime was not in the front room with the
baby, Margaret, 1 year old. She ran
down to the street and was told by the
children playing there that Catherine
was on the sidewalk only few minutes
before. For an hour neighbors searched
for the child and then Mrs Sands re-
ported the case to the police of the East
Eighty-eighth street station.
The child had dark brown eyes and
black hair and wore faded pink rompers.

Prostrations and Great Discomfort in City.

Another hot wave struck the city yes

causing one death and six prostrations
and bringing discomfort to persons in
every part Of the city. Some relief was
breeze which increased in strength as it
veered to the southwest.
Thunder showers are expected to-day.
AS this is St Swithins Day. rain to-
day will mean rain every one of the next
forty days. unless the wet saint fails TO
live up to the power generally attributed
to him. James H. Scarr, forecaster of
the local Weather Bureau. said that
there is a strong probability that it will
rain to-day.
Mr.. Scarr also announced that the
records of the bureau show that there
should be much rain ahead, as this city
so far this year has accumulated an ex-
cess of SIS degrees in temperature and
deficiency of 4.21 inches in rainfall.
If this summer is to average up with the
others there must be more rain and less
heat between now and fall.
A long rain with high winds are
needed. Mr.. Scarr said. to clear the at
mosphere OF the forest fire haze which
has been hanging over the city for sew
eral weeks. The fires are in Ontario
and Quebec, and their smoke hangs
over an area extending from the great
lakes and Ohio eastward to the At
lantic Coast and beyond.
Mr.. Scarr pointed out that with at
mospheric conditions as they are. 1t
would take several weeks for the air to
clear even If the forest fires were to
cease now. On the other hand. winds
and rain might clear the atmosphere In
a few days

BOUND BY AGREEMENTS

Supreme Court Justice Irving Leh-
man yesterday denied the application
of the city to recover upward OF
$125, 900 from the Interborough Rapid
Transit Company because bonuses,
presents or honoraria" received by the
late Theodore p Shonts, Frank He'd
ley, present president of the Inter-
borough. and other executives We're
charged against the city as part of the
construction cost of subways under
construction in 1913. In a similar ac-
ton he decides that the city Is not
entitled to recover $1,9sO.s00 from the
New York Municipal Railways Cor
poration, the subway operating sub
sidiary of the B. r. T.
The B. r. T. sum represented an In
terest charge which the transit company
held was properly included among the
items of construction costs. The city
contended that the amount represented
the cost OF discounting the Municipal
Railways Indebtedness and that the
city never should have been called upon
to pay any Of 1t. Both actions were
started by Corporation Counsel O'Brien
at the insistence of Mayor Hylan. The
payments were made under contracts
signed during the Gaynor administra-
ton.
Under these contracts the city and
the companies contributed toward the
cost of constructing the new subways.
the city bearing the cost Of actual ex-
cavating and finishing and the COM
panies paying for the cost of equip
ment, eectrification, stations. power
plants and rolling stock. The companies
were permitted to charge construction
costs against the city for what con-
struction work was done under their
supervision.
Regarding the complaint seeking re-
covery from the Interborough, Justice
Lehman says:
'It is replete with conclusions Of what
the Corporation Counsel calls fraud but
in its most favorable construction the
only ground for equitable action set
forth is that the chief engineer (of the
Public Service Commission), to whom
the determination as to what were
proper construction charges, was left
under the contracts, msinterpreted the
contract and included as expenses-as
expenses actually and necessarily in
Cured and payable prior to the date of
the contract-gifts, bonuses and honora-
ria presented to It's (the railroad COM
panys officers. servants and agents.
An error In his determination might
work an injustice. but since the contract
ing parties provided means for such
determination they are bound by their
own agreement"
Justice Lehman points out that the
agreement provided a time limit of
thirty days in which protests against
the decisions of Alfred Craven, the then
chief engineer, were to be made. The
claims now contested by the city were
allowed in 1913. and no protest was
made within the time limit, he concludes.
