Mayor Timanus has stirred up the contractors on the St. Paul street side of the Courthouse, which was damaged by fire, and has requested them to. complete the improvement as soon as possible. As a result Messrs. Wyatt Nolting, the architects, and Mr.

George Mann, who has charge of the marble work, submitted yesterday to the Mayor of what remains to be donei The contractors also assured the Mayor that the work would be completed by the end of the month, which was the extension of time recently allowed by the Courthouse Commission. A meeting of the commission will be held in a few days to consider the reports, which are as follows Four columns complete to neck. One column lacks two courses, but will probably be finished tonight. Two columns lack two courses each and one column lacks four courses. None of the necking is yet in work, but all the stone i3 at yard and will be started tomorrow.

Six column caps are ready for setting, but not fully carved. Stone for one cap is on road between quarry and yard, and there is one piece still to be received at yard. One piece of column is complete at yard, but the remaining seven pieces needed to complete columns haye not been received from quarry. Two marble lintels needed for windows between columns are ready to deliver to building. The stone work for windows in second story cf pavilion is complete, except One lintel, which is in the planer.

All ashlar needed has been received and 40 per cent, of the architrave is being worked and the balance of cornice is complete, except top course, und ready for delivery at building. No work on St. Paul street entrance or approach since last report. The force at counting men at Court-bouse and those at yard, numbers 101 men, not counting foremen or superintendents.

The architects sent the Mayor a copy of a letter from George Mann to the contractors, William Ferguson which told of the receipt of sufficient marble to reduce his needs to the following quantities For Provisions Of Loan Prohibit Money Beins Spent For Anything: Bat Sewers. After the question of converting Jones' falls into a boulevard had been enthusiastically advocated by a number of business and Improvement associations with the hope that it was to be done under' the supervision of the Sewerage Commission, the commission decided yesterday that It did -not have the authority to build the boulevard.

Since the scheme was advanced by Chief Engineer Hendrick a number of associations have recommended it and have for warded their indorsements to the commls slon, intimating that the commission should so ahead with the project. The letters place the commission in an embarrassing position, as under tne pro vision of the sewerage enabling act it has no authority to build anything but sewers out of the $10,000,000 loan. In order that the Information might be communicated to the organizations Mr. Hendrick and Chairman Leary were directed to attend the meetings of the associations and ex plain the situation. The commission placed Itself on record as favoring the boulevard and will gladly have it built under Its su pervlsion, providing it is so empowered by the Legislature or city and the money ap propriated.

The sentiment of the public has defl nitely crystallized toward the proposed improvement, and It Is believed it will be advocated until adopted. In building the storm-water sewers the commission will greatly reduce the tributaries of the falls. In fact, a parallel system will be built beside the falls to pre vent floods after hard rains. Specifications for building about two miles of the outfalls sewer were approved and will be submitted to the Board of Awards today for advertisement. Wrhen the contracts are awarded the first work on the sanitary sewers will begin.

The first part to be built is entirely within the city limits and runs through East Baltimore to the eastern city limits. The con tract for building the storm-water drains has been awarded to M. A. Talbott of Logansport, Ind. Work will be begun in a short time.

The commission expects to acquire the rights of way for the outfalls sewer in Baltimore county within a few weeks, and the contract for that part will be awarded. Mr. H. W. Kapp, general agent of the Pennsylvania Railroad, requested that his company be given a right to tap the out falls sewer at Bayvlew Junction in com pensation for the right of the commission to build the sewer beside and underneath the tracks of the ral road.

It is not be lieved it will be permissible, as the en abling act specifically states that the sewer age system shall be built for the exclu sive use of the city. A conference will be neiu oetween jur. Jtsapp ana tne commls siouers, that the railroad officials may un derstand the situi tlon Because of the higt bids it will receive for Its work, the commission passed a resolution compelling all bidders 'to fur nish a bond of 10 per cent, of their entire bid. At present the bidders have been required to furnish a bond of 500. The commission believes this amount to be inadequate.

The argument is made that the lower contrae ors can often surrender their bids and the small sum and allow the contract to go to a higher bidder if they wished to effect such an agreement. In compliance with thu resolution of the City Council requesting the commission to give preference to home labor on all its work, the commission selected the Baltimore Auditing Company as Its expert accountants and auditors. Commissioner Whitridge, who suggested the firm, said that it was a local one. TO BOOM FAILS PROJECT Mr. Calvin W.

Hendrick "Will Tell Association His Plans. The Jones' Falls Improvement Association, which is advocating the movement to cover the stream with a boulevard, has called a meeting at 4 P. M. Thursday at the Merchants and Manufacturers' Asso ciation rooms. While the letters have been sent only to those who have become members of the association or are known to ad vocate the boulevard proposition, the meeting will be public.

Mr. James H. Preston, president of the association, will occupy the chair, and the chief speaker will be Mr. Calvin W. Hen drick, chief engineer of the Sewerage Commission.

One of the most earnest advocates of the improvement is Dr. John Turner, 1814 North Charles street, who has begun a subscription list with a view to having the falls covered from the Greenmount avenue to the North avenue bridges. In addition to subscribing $10 himself toward the work. Dr. Turner has also begun the circulation of a petition urging the work to be done as soon as possible.

This petition will be presented to Mr. James H. Preston as soon as it shall have received a sufficient number of signers. In discussing the proposed improvement, Dr. Turner said yesterday "No Improvement would add so much beauty and usefulness to Baltimore as this popular need.

Civilization demands that this blot and eyesore be hidden from view. Therefore, why not do it now? Let the rich and poor take a pride in giving what they can. "Could we not, too, place a fire memorial arch at Charles street and Jones' falls something dignified and artistic, yet fitting the city's want? What would look more beautiful than this improvement illuminated artistically OWEN DALY CO. IN NEW HOME Bankers Have Coiey Quarters On South Street. Messrs.

Owen Daly bankers, occupied their new quarters on South street Monday. The firm has one of the coziest and brightest banking rooms in the city. The building has light both back and front and, in addition, has a large skylight in the roof. It is finished in colored glass, which gives a subdued but pleasant reflection from the sun's rays. The interior of the structure is finished in mahogany and marble.

Mr. Daly evidently believes in privacy. The bank contains an apartment for the working force, a special room for the senior member, one for each of his associates and two which can be utilized for private conferences. In the rear is a sort of mezzanine floor, which can be brought into service when additional privacy is needed. Mr.

Daly's many friends and associates visited him yesterday and congratulated him on his comfortable surroundings. Drngsrist Held On Cocaine Charges, Lemuel R. Brandenburg, druggist at 406 West Pratt street, was released on $200 bail in each of two cases of selling cocaine without a physician's prescription yesterday by Justice Loden, at the Western Police Station. GEMS FROM Judge Xlles Reduces Allowance For Mr. Hemple'a Child.

A question of unusual interest presented Itself yesterday before Judge Nlles In the Circuit Court In the case of Lizzie Hemple against Henry Hemple, In whictt Mrs. Hemple, who Is now Mrs. Nehrkorn, having married again, sought to have her former husband attached for his failure to pay $21.66 a month for the support of their 3-year-old child under a decree divorcing them on November 25, 1905. Mr. Hemple, In his petition, asked the Court to modify the decree and cut down the amount allowed for support on the ground that his circumstances had changed and that his wife had married Mr.

Nehrkorn since her divorce. Mr. C. Dodd McFarland, representing Mrs. Nehrkorn, claimed that the decree was binding forever, as the time for appeal had gone by and Mr.

Hemple had originally assented to the amount claimed for the child's support. Mr. James Fluegel, counsel for Mr. Hemple, contended that the decree could be modified if Mr. Hemple's circumstances were shown to have been other and different than they were at the time the decree was signed.

There being no precedent in Maryland upon the subject. Judge Niles upheld the contention of Mr. Fluegel and, after evidence was taken, reduced the allowance to $10 a month for the child and dismissed the petition for contempt of Mrs. Nehrkorn. ECHO OP CITY TRUST FAILURE Suit To Enforce Liability Of The Stockholders Being: Heard.

Judge Wickes, in Circuit Court No. 2, began hearing yesterday the suit of John A. Murphy and other creditors of the defunct City Trust and Banking Company against Mr. William F. and other stockholders of the company to enforce the double statutory liability of the stockholders for the debts of the company.

Mr. A. C. Blnswanger was appointed in 1905 receiver for the purpose of enforcing the liability. A compromise was reached with 27 of the stockholders who have paid their liability and are not Involved in the suit.

From these $35,000 was collected. The suit is against the remaining 153 stockholders. Judge Wickes decided that the hooks of the company were not admissible in evidence to prove the indebtedness of he company. The effect of the decision is that the creditors will have to appear in person to prove their claims. Fifty of them were summoned to appear today.

The deficiency which Is sought to be collected from the stockholders is about $350,000. for which it is claimed the stockholders are liable under the statute. Mr. Campbell Carrlngton, one of the receivers of the company, was on the stand all day, and his examination will continue today. He was called by Mr.

Blnswanger to show who were stockholders and when they became such. The case has been to the Court of Appeals twice and both times the lower court has been reversed, and both decisions have been In favor of the creditors, it is expected that it will go to the Court of Appeals again- "WISHES TO PAY COURT MONEY Awards For Lots Needed For Docks In Dispute. In a bill of complaint filed in the Circuit Court yesterday by City Solicitor W. Cabell Bruce the city asks authority to pay into court the sum awarded by the Burnt District Commission for two lots of ground on the south side of Eastern avenue, between Union Dock avenue and West Falls avenue, and taken for the public wharves and docks. The proceedings are against Gen.

Thomas J. Shryock, the Safe Deposit and Trust Company and the heirs of Thomas McEIderry. Upon the lots in question stands the office of Thomas J. Shryock Co. For an annual ground rent of $1S0 on them the Burnt District Commission awarded $3,800 and for the leasehold interest $8,027, the city being awarded 1 for the bed of an old street which ran through the lots.

The purpose of the city in the proceeding is to have the claims of Mr. Shryock and the heirs of Thomas McEIderry adjudicated. The claims of the McEIderry heirs are based on a conveyance made in 1810 from Daniel Bowly to Thomas McEIderry. MUST KEEP HALF MUE AWAY Court Enjoins Mr. Goodrich's Hard, ware Business.

Judge Niles, in the Circuit Court, rendered an opinion yesterday granting an injunction restraining Charles E. Goodrich from conducting the hardware and electrical business within a half mile radius of 1509 West Lafayette avenue, where the Standard Hardware and Electric Company conducts business. Mr. Goodrich was formerly a member of the company. When he sold his interest in it in 1904, it is alleged, he agreed not to engage In the same line of business within half a mile of the company's store.

Soon afterward, it was alleged, he opened a store directly opposite, and Bernard Johnson, president of the company with whom the agreement was. made, applied for an Injunction. The case was tried by William Milnes Maioy for Mr. Johnson and Findlay Mackenzie for Mr. Goodrich.

WESTERN MD. CO. APPEALS Says Assessment Of Terminals Is Excessive. The Western Maryland Tidewater Rail road Company appealed to the City Court yesterday from the reassessment by the Ap peal Tax Court of its property at Port Covington. The petition filed by George R.

Gaither and Leon E. Greenbanm, attor neys, states that the property assessed com prises the tidewater terminals of the railroad. The assessments complained of were made for 1907. They consist of $396,000 for the pier and frame structure on it, and $48,000. $47,063 and $50,250 for the lots on Gould street.

It is alleged that all the assessments are excessive and they are partly illegal. As nearly all the pier and the frame structure is in Baltimore county, and not In the city, it Is claimed, the Appeal Tax Court has no power to assess the portion in the county. It is claimed that the company may be onlv assessed in the city for $35,000, but that the remainder of the assessment, amounting to $361,000, Is illegal and void because the property assessed is not In the city.

Interviews Show Department In crease Is Demanded. WHAT CITY OWES BUSINESS MEN Mr. David Ambach Says Protection Should Follow Taxation Should lie Ample, Say Others. That there is a widespread demand for an increase in the Fire Department of Baltimore is shown by further interviews with well-known men. Each tells of his opinion that nothing should be left undone to afford ample protection against danger from another great fire.

One stand taken is that the city owes protection in return for taxes paid. That the lesson of 1904 should be heeded immediately is, seemingly, a general view. Mr. David Ambach. Mr.

David Ambach said: more important subject could come up for public consideration than the Im provement of our fire-flghting service. As a business man in a closely occupied terri tory, I can appreciate this necessity each day and am always ready to render what ever aid I can to further this most essen tial part of our civil government. That we need more facilities to cope with large fires is undoubted; that we need them in the business sections Is beyond dispute. "A merchant with his goods always in sight cannot escape taxation. He can hide nothing, even if he had a disposition bo to do.

What he trades in and the bus ness he develops to aid along the commercial im portance of the city are always before the eyes of the tax assessor, and the tax col lector knows the city is getting from this class its full quota to sustain all that is needed for the protection afforded and for other purposes of municipal government. "This being so, we e.0r demand full protection In return. Um places of bus! ness, stored often with iatlammable mate rial, should be closely watched and speed ily protected when danger threatens, espe cially danger from fire, which is a foe we all dread and cannot always provide against. I know that the business element to a man will go to any extreme In providing this protection. I will be ready at all times to uphold the principle that any serv ice which protects us against fire loss should be readily granted by the city authorities.

They can rest assured that any additional tax burden placed on us to secure this result will be cheerfully borne." Mr. H. A. Or rick. H.

A. Orrick, president of the Stock Ex change, said: "I am heartily in favor of an increased equipment to the city's Fire Department. I say this generally because I have not gone into the subject fully enough as yet to state specifically where the additional force is most needed. We cannot have too much of a good thing, however, and when the oc casion for its service arises nothing is better than an available force and sufficient machinery to check the spread of a fire. "We have gone through a recent experi ence of this kind which most of us will remember as long as our memories last.

Therefore, to my mind, there can be no two opinions on this vital subject. The city is constantly growing and developing in factories and homes. It is essential that methods for lessening dangers, often unforeseen, should not only keep pace with this development, but should anticipate it and keep ahead to meet it in emergency. Next to the police, the Fire Department is most relied upon for our safety and protection. To thi? end it should be ample to meet requirements quickly in all sections." Mr.

John M. Nelson. Mr. John M. Nelson said: "Perhaps it would be better to wait until the people have authorized the loan to Improve the Fire Department before going too far into what should be done with the money when obtained.

That additions to this branch of the public, service will be useful is undoubted. Property holders everywhere will feel more secure with a fire-Snglne and a force of firemen in easy call in case of danger. Therefore, If any section is not fully protected the gap should be filled and the taxpayers and property holders will approve the action. "It will be time enough. In my opinion, however, to discuss locations for new engine houses and other fire apparatus after the money to supply them is available." Capt.

W. C. Eliason. "You can't make our fire-fighting condition anv too good for me," said Capt. William C.

Eliason, president of the Tol- chester Steamboat Company. "With a city of our size and importance our apparatus ought to be more numerous, as well as modern," said he. "We are hav ing other improvements street paviug, sewerage and docks, and there is no reason why we could not get more fire-fighting machines. There is no question that we should have better fire protection and the business people demand it, "What we want Is quicker response to calls and a greater number cf companies. The men seem to be fully capable, and what apparatus we have is all that could be desired, but as Baltimore is rapidly growing "in 6ize we must cope with that growth in increasing the number of fire companies.

I hope in time to see Baltimore the best equipped city in the country." Mr. Frederick W. Klipper. Mr. Frederick W.

Klipper, 19 South Broadway, president of the East Baltimore Business Men's Association, said "Fire is the greatest enemy of private property and I have maintained for years that Baltimore is not provided with sufficient means for protection from it. There should be at least a dozen new engine companies established throughout the city, and it should be done right away not put off. "Just think of it! In all this vast expanse of the city east of Jones' falls and south of Baltimore street there are only three engine companies. In this section of the city are found nearly all our large factories, warehouses and lumber yards. AH these supply good material for a large fire, and there are only three companies.

Not one of them is located near any of these places of industry. All of them are in the residential section. What we need is two companies right In the center and within easy reach of these factories, warehouses and lumber yards. "It is a sbame to admit that with all of the fine buildings which our people have erected since the great fire in 1904 that there is so little protection from fire af forded them. More protection means less loss and less loss means a lower rate of fire insurance.

Our firemen deserve all the praise given them and more, but there should be more of them and more apparatus. Let our fire department be enlarged, then our property and lives will be in less danger." Mr. Hammond J. Dngan, Mr. Hammond J.

Dugan, real estate broker, said "Our fire should be a lesson to us. Our valuable buildings should be protected as far as In our power. We at least should have as great protection against fire as other large cities. An Increase In the num ber of our engines will no doubt involve a considerable annual expense, but at the same time we should be wise in keeping ourselves safe against another similar disaster as the recent great fire. "We were fortuna to escape without the loss of life, and we cannot hope to be so fortunate in a similar catastrophe.

If by adding other engines and fire apparatus we should in the future be the cause of saving not only the property, but the lives of our people, we will gratefully lose sight of the expenditure and feel that we are wise in offering our city and its people the best protection possible." 3Ir. A. R. White. Mr.

A. R. White, real estate broker, said "The fire apparatus in Baltimore is en tirely inadequate. Should another great fire start like that of 1904 the Fire Department would experience the same difficulties in fighting the flames, because of the Insuf ficient number of apparatus. It would b8 a shame for the city if there- should be a recurrence of the fl-e because of the small number of apparatus.

The handsome new buildings that have been erected in burnt district and the numerous dwellings built in all sections of the city demand a larger fire force. The present department is good, but could not cope with the situation were a great fire to break out, similar to the one of two years and a half ago." Mr. Harry Bnsick. Mr. Harry Busick, manager of the New Howard Hotel, said "The city is growing and there is need for a larger fire department.

The fire of 1904 demonstrated the smallness of our department. The business section seems to be well equipped, but there Is a portion of the city just outside of this line depending on the same apparatus. This outside section should be equipped as not to draw from the business section. "Since the fire new buildings have been erected, good laws passed and the taxable basis increased. The present system is good so far as it goes, and all that is wanted la an Increase in companies." Water Mains Asked.

Following the Official Says Mr. Preston's Men Wrought General Havoc. ROOMS DAUBED AND SMEARED Burlap Walls Covered With Great Splotches Of Paint The Colors Mixed On Floors And Tables. The school authorities are indignant as they have not been for a long time over the devastation wrought upon artistic interiors by Building Inspector Preston's men who were detailed to renovate the buildings during the summer recess. It is asserted that not only have walls end floors in a number of schools been luined, but that desks and cabinets were broken open and looted.

Those in chargs of the schools do not blame Mr. Preston, for they say he knew nothing of the vandalism. Following an article in The Sun last Jweek telling of the obliteration of all that i was artistic in School Xo. 37, on which the Municipal Art Society had expended so much care and money, the school authori- ties began a thorough investigation of con- i ditions in other schools. The discoveries have been startling in a number of the buildings.

The work of ths painter is spoken of as having been done la total disregard of artistic consideraTions. "Some of the schools," said a high official, "are in frightful shape. At No. 20, Preston and Eden streets, the painters left deplorable conditions In their wake. The burlap on the walls they covered with great splotches of paint, absolutely ruining lt-Not satisfied with this they mixed their colors on the floors, leaving large sticky circles to tell the tale.

The blackboard! they left greasy and unfit for nse. "No. 77, Washintgon street, near Fayette street, might hare been used as a paint manufactory from its present appearance. The tables installed especially for the teachers during lunch hours were used as work tables and places for mixing paint. Putting them to this nse, of course, ended the possibility of their further use as dinner lables.

Around the floors large splotches show where the painters poured out their paints and mixed them. "At No. 5, Broadway and Ashland ave-. nue. the aquarium was smashed and the piano and melodeon were broken open.

The interior of the building looked as though a cyclone had struck it. "In one or two of the schools It has been discovered tlial during Hie summer the desks of the teachers broken open and many erticles taken. In several of tho broken desks were left books on geometry and psychology, but it is supposed that the thieves did not fancy these branches 'of learning." The subcontractors and workmen are held responsible by these in charge of the schools. The summer's "work" on the buildings is regarded as a waste of thousands of dollars and willful destruction of valuable property. The school authorities were willing to forgive ihe stupidity exhibited at No.

57, where the soft tints of the Municipal Art Society were obliterated by Mr. Preston's "artists," but they believe that some person persons should be held accountable by Mr. Preston for the general indifference and destructiveness shown by his employes.

When ooffee causes nervousness and time to stop it. And there is where Postum is a true comforter. It is a warm, palatable and wholesome beverage and at the same time is a liquid food. Coffee does harm, not because it's well or poorly made not because it's high or low priced but because of the alkaloid drug caffeine, it contains. The habitual use of coffee, therefore, forms a drug habit.

A Buffalo physician said recently: "I have used Postum Food Coffee in my family and find it to be 1I that is claimed for it a most wholesome, delicious beverage. 'When made and served -according to directions it is certainly delightful and refreshing. "I have read carefully Dr. Daven- port's analysis of Postum Food Coffee, as printed on the which I most heartily indorse. I have been prescrib-.

ing it to my patients." The Dr. is right, and there's a reason. Read the little "book, "Tbe Eoad to Well- ville," in pkgs. pay. Messrs.

THE POETS And as within the hazel's bough A gift of mystic virtue dwells. That points to golden ores below, And in dry desert places tells Where flow unseen the cool, sweet wells So, in the wise Diviner's hand, Be mine the hazel's grateful part To feel, beneath a thirsty land The living waters thrill and start, The beating of the rivnlet's heart! Sufficeth me the gift to light With latest bloom the dark, cold days; To call some hidden spring to sight That, in these dry and dusty ways, Shall sing Its pleasant song of praise. Love! the hazel-wand may fall T-, But thon canst lend the surer spell, That, passing over Baca's vale, Repeats the old-time miracle, And makes tbe desert-land a well. HAZEL BLOSSOMS. By John Gkeexleaf Whittieb.

The Summer warmth has left the sky. The Summer songs have died away; And, withered, in the footpath lie The fallen leaves, but yesterday With ruby and with topaz gay. The grass is browning on the hills; No pale, belated flowers recall The astral fringes of the rills, And drearily the dead vines fall, Frostblackened, from the roadside wall. Yet through the gray and somber wood, Against the dusk of fir and pine, Last of their floral sisterhood, The hazel's yellow blossoms shine, The tawny fold of Af ric's mine Small beauty hath my unsung flower, For Spring to own or Summer hail; But, in the season's saddest hour, To skies that weep and wipds that wail Its glad surprisals never fail. days grown cold! life grown old! NT- ncr Tnna wot? 1-v 1 rf-m In No rose of June may bloom again; But like the hazel's twisted gold, Through early frost and latter rain Shall hints of Summertime remain.
