ALLOWED TO GO OVER

Bonding Company's Suit Against City Controller Set for Saturday Morning In Circuit Court.

The hearing on the mandamus proceedings, instigated recently by the Breed, Elliott & Harrison Bonding company, of Indianapolis, against Charles Manfcourt, city controller, to compel the controller to sell them the $25,OOO bond issue passed some time ago by the city council for the pur chase of fire apparatus, was postponed Friday in the Circuit Court until Sat urday morning.

The delay in the hearing was due to the case of Charles Greiner against the Postal Telegraph company, which took more time than was expected, and to the fact that Attorney Royse, rep resenting the plaintiff, was to act as pall bearer at the funeral of the late Moses Pierson.

A demurrer to the cpmplaint has been filed by Attorneys Wells and Charles Crawford, which contains 18 paragraphs of reasons wliy action should not be taken against the defendant.

The defense attorneys, according to the demurrer, will base their principal argument on the grounds that the facts do not show that the bonding company at the time of bringing action had on deposit with the controller a certified check payable to the city as a guarantee that if the bonds should be awarded the company it would comply with the terms of the bid that the company was not the party to bring mandamus action but that tax payers of the city should have brought action that the facts alleged do not show that the company had a clear legal right to have the bonds awarded to it and that the complaint it Insufficient for want of facts because it does not appear that the company has no adequate remedy other than by mandamus.

The complaint alleges that the controller awarded the bonds to the J. F. "Wild & Co. on a premium of $104.50 with accrued interest, the company to furnish the printing of the bonds, while the .Breed, Elliott & Harrison company offered a premium of $164 with accrued interest, which they say was the best bid, as the printing of the bonds would not amount to more than $30.

IS GIVEN HER RELEASE

Was Convicted In 1910 of Murder of Count Kamaroksky After Remarkable Trial.

MILAN, June 3 (via Paris), June 4.— 5:15 a. m.—Countess Marie Tarnovsky, sentenced in May, 1910, to eight years' imprisonment for complicity in the murder of Count Kamarowsky, at Venice, in November, 1907, has been pardoned and released.

The trial of the countess with Dr. Naumoff and Attorney Pritukoff, accused of complicity with her in the crime, was one of the most remarkable in the criminal annals of Italy. All three were found guilty. The trial, which lasted nearly 100 days, was attended by many representatives of the aristocracy. The countess, whose beauty and manner won the sympathy of Venetians, was accused of causing the jealous youth Naumoff to journey from Vienna to Venice and kill the count. The Moscow lawyer, Pritukoff, was indicted for following Naumoff to Venice with the intention of killing him after the count's murder. Both charged the countess with being responsible for the plot, and each asserted she had promised to marry him after the count was out of the way. Count Kamorowsky insured his life for $10,000 in favor of the countess In 1907, and went with her to Vienna after he had promised to marry her.

MOTOR CAR UP-KEEP UNDER THE MICROSCOPE

BY "UTILITY TEST" MAXWELL "25"

TOUR THREE

Here I have gone half of my distance and hardly realized what became of all those 514 miles. Everything was so easy and smooth— muddy roads or city streets—that my thousand miles is going to be finished before I realize it. I had a good visit with W. I. Moseley, who bought a Maxwell "25" of Miller & Jacques April first and immediately put it into service as a jitney bus. He has gone over 7,000 miles, without a stop for adjustments, has now an average of 21 miles to the gallou of gasoline, in jitney bus service, and insists with all kinds of argument that he got the only perfect car that was ever built, and hopes he can get another Maxwell later as "good as the one giving such good service. Why shouldn't ho believe in his car? Do you know of any Maxwell owner that doesen't think his car is about the best "Lady Maxwell" ever created? Then it must be a reasonable fact that all Maxwell cars are created equally efficient and economical. If you could see the inspections—yes three and four of them—that we have to experience at those great big Maxwell factories in Detroit, Dayton, and Newcastle before we are turned out In the world, graduated—each a valedictorian—you wouldn't be surprised when you are told about the Maxwell being a perfect car it's born in us. Nothing is perfect, but, good folks, we are as near "perfect" as is possible for human skill to make us.

Something was said 'to my driver yesterday about my steering gear, and was it reliable. I have the greatest improvement ever made in this respect, the "irreversible steering gear," that has instantaneous action at the steering wheel, but positively immovable on the running wheels in front. This is the greatest insurance a driver has against the front wheels being thrown out of their course, with an accident to follow.

A good demonstration, instructive and intensely interesting, will gladly be given by Messrs. Miller & Jaques at their show room,

CHAPTER VI.—Continued. Nothing interesting happened during dinner. Several times, in spite of Rouletabille's obvious impatience with her for doing it, Matrena went up to the general. She returned saying, "He is quiet. He doesn't sleep. He doesn't wish anything. He has asked me to prepare his narcotic. It is too bad. He has tried in vain, he cannot get along without it." "You, too, mamma, ought to take something to make you sleep. They say morphine is very good." "As for me," said Rouletabille, whose

South Sixth street. I was asked 'about puctures. If you know of any car that has less tire trouble than I do, give me an introduction quick so that we can call a convention for debate on the subject of "Tire Mileage and Who Gets the Most."

My observers for Wednesday were two of the greatest charity workers in this part of the country, and there are not two people in Terre Haute who enjoy the praise and honor that is showered upon Captain and Mrs. Benjamin Stahl, county probation officers and true friends of the unfortunate. It is with great honor that I humbly accept the beautiful tribute given me by these worthy people. They believe in a "Maxwell!" Their judgment is considered premier without question in all matters of public Importance, and I am deeply honored.

head for some few minutes had been dropping now toward one shoulder and now toward another, "I have no need of any narcotic to make me sleep. If you will permit me, I will get to bed at once." "Eh, my little domovoi doukh, I am going to carry you there in my arms."

Matrena .extended her large round arms ready to take Rouletabille as though he had been a baby. "No, no. I will get up there all right alone," said Rouletabille, rising stupidly and appeared ashamed of his excessive sleepiness. "Oh, well, let us both accompany him, to his chamber," said Natacha, "and I will wish papa good-night. I'm eager for bed myself. We will all make a good night of it. Ermolai and Gniagnia will watch with the schwltaar in the lodge. Things are reasonably arranged now."

They ascended the stairs. Rouletabille did not even go to see the general, but threw himself ofi his bed. Natacha got onto the bed beside her father, embraced him a dozen times, and went downstairs again. Matrena followed behind her, closed doors and windows, went upstairs again to close the door of the landing-place and found Rouletabille seated on his bed, his arms crossed, not appearing to have any desire for sleep at all. His face was so strangely pensive also that the anxiety of Matrena, wflo had been able to make nothing out of his acts and looks all day, came back upon her Instantly in greater force than ever. She touched his arm in order to be sure that he knew she was there. "My little friend," she said, "will you tell me now?" "Yes. madajne," he replied at once. "Sit in that chair and listen to me. There are things you must know at once, because we have reached a dangerous hour." "The hat-pins first. The hat-pins!"

Rouletabille rose lightly from the bed and, facing her, but watching something besides her, said: "It is necessary you should know that someone almost immediately is going to renew the attempt of the bouquet."

Matrena sprang to her feet as quickly an though she had been told there was a bomb in the seat of her chair. She made herself sit down again, however, in obedience to Rouletabille's urgent look commanding absolute quiet. "Renew the attempt of the bouquet!" •she murmured in a stifled voice. "But there is not a flower in the general's chamber." "Be calm, madame. Understand me and answer me: You heard the ticktack from the bouquet while you were in your own ohamber?" "Yes, with the doors open, naturally." "You told me the persons who came to say good-night to the general. At that time there was no noise of ticktack?" "No, no "Do you think that if there had been any tick-tack then you would have heard it, with all those persons talking in the room?" "I hear everything. I hear everything." "Did you go downstairs at the same time those people did?" "No, no I remained near the general for some time, until he*was sound asleep." "And you heard nothing?" "Nothing." "You closed the doors behind those persons?"
