12 A PROMISED BONUS WALKER'S FEE FOB INTBODUC- XbTO A PATIENT DR. ROTH AGREED TO PAY But aa There Was No Written Agree ment the Doctor Refused to Remunerate Hint Dr. Jules F. Roth, who has figured lately In the role of a home-wrecker, was yester day made tbe defendant In a civil suit com menced In the township Justloe's court by George E. Walker. The action Is the re sult of a breach of contract which plaintiff alleges was entered into in May last by Roth 1 md himself. The contract Is simple enough In Itself, but reveals Roth's first acquaintance with Nancy A. Gilbert, whose Will two months later he tiled for probate. Walker alleges that on or about the first of May of this year he told Roth, who claimed to he a apecialist ln the treatment of asthma, that he knew an old lady who was ln need of medical aid and that for the consideration of 175 he would get her to employ Roth. After Walker's explaining her financial condition, the agreement was made and • Mrs. Gilbert, who was the old lady ln question, was Induced to call Dr. Roth ln consultation^ From that time on until the old lady's death In the latter part of June Roth was in almost constant attendance. In spits of the rich harvest that the doctor was ap parently reaping, he failed to keep his agreement with Walker, who claims he has not seen one red cent of the promised bonus. Shortly after Dr. Roth filed for probate what was purported to be the last will of Mrs. Gilbert, Walker visited the doctor and demanded his money. Dr. Roth lis tened to the plaintiff, but refused to pa/y him a cent, as he held there was no written agreement and no witnesses. THE OITT WINS Suit on the Outfall Sewer Decided by the Supreme Court The opinion of the supreme court In the case of the J. M. Griffith company vs. tbe city of Los Angeles, affirming the opinion Of the lower court ln favor of the city was received yesterday. The history of the case briefly Is as follows: On April 24, 1893. the city of Los Angeles executed contracts whereby the contract ors agreed to construct an outfall sewer leading from the city to the Pacific ocean, for which the city agreed to pay $77,450. The contractors constructed the sewer and received most of the compensation. For the unpaid balance they assigned to the Grffith company their claims against the city. This Is an action on the claims so as signed; plaintiff had Judgment in the lower court for some hundreds of dollars but failed as to the bulk of the demand. In passing on the matter the court held that by the terms of the contract the con tractors were to keep the pipes ln repair until all was paid, and that ln case of their default the city should do the work, using such sum as might be necessary. The con tract also provided that when sections three and six were completed the ot'y should withhold 85000, and that If at any time during the six months after the ac ceptance repairs became necessary they should be paid for out of the 85000, and that at the end of the six months the balance should be paid to the contractors. The court found that during the six months the city expended $1894.35 on the sewer and that less than a month after the city expended ln all a sum exceeding $5000. The plalntiff9 contended that they Should recover the sum of $3105.65, which was the excess of the amount retained by the city. The city refused the demand and both the lower and supreme courts held that that action was right.

But tf your honor will grant me thirty minutes I can .make this little thing all right and settle the damage." "Well," said his honor, "as the com plaint Is not filed and your business Is so very Important, I shall release you on your own recognizance to appear for trial here tomorrow at 1:30." "C'rect. your honor; I will not fan you." But as Mr. Curtis was sneaking to the door he added Jauntily: "If I should forget the appointment, why meet me at the Hol lenbeck about 2 and' we will make every thing O. K."

The board Is In possession of the names of the writers and the companies to which they belong. The letter Is as follows: IK CAMP MERRIAM, Sept. 2.1898. "To the People of California: In order to arrive at a definite knowledge of the senti ment of the men of the Beventh regiment ln regard to being muetered out, a careful poll of each company wae taken by a com mute, of privates and non-commissioned ofllcers. "Wherever possible, every man ln the various companies was Interviewed and whenever a man could not be seen or heard from he was not counted. The ques tion put to each man was: "Are you In fa vor of being mustered out or remaining ln the service and taking .chances of being sent abroad T "The number who desire to be mustered out ln Company A ts 91; ln B, t»; ln C, 87; In D. 83; In E, M; in F, 82; In G, SS; In H, 102; In I. 89; tn K. 91; In L, 100; In M. 101; a total of 1114. The total number of men at pres ent In the regiment Is 1150. Hence 89 per cent desires to be mustered out. This contradicts the statements repeat edly made by Col. Berry and Major Pres cott, the one that not 4 per cent of the regiment desires to be mustered out and the other that not a single man ln his bat talion wishes to discontinue In the service. Maj. Prescott's vote was taken at the time the Seventh was assigned to the Scandia, and he put the question to his batnallor, thus: "How many of you men want to go to Manila?' and nearly all the battalion an swered '!.' Then he asked: 'How many want 'o stay home?' and one man ansttered •I.' and the major then proceeded to administer a severe roast to this unfor tunate Individual before the entire bat talion. He then stated that any solaler who desired to get honorably discharged peed only make his wants known to him (the major) and his wishes would be grat ified. But when the Scandia was taken away from the Seventh, applications for discharge were so numerous that the wily major stated that neither he nor Col. Berry could do anything for them anc was forced to admit that the discharge talk was merely bluff. "It Is generally known both Inside ant outside of the regiment thnt nearly 90 per cent of the men want to be mustered out, now that' the country has no longer need for them, but yet the officers ststr (and they will not take the pains to find out, strange to say) that 95 per cent deslr« to continue the two years' service. "Thanklng you for the Interest you hay« taken ln our welfare, both In your efforts to get us to the front as well as to get us mustered out now that the war Is over." The war board sent a check yesterday for »100 to the Red Cross to be applied to fhe reception and entertainment of the Sev enth regiment on Its return from San Franelsco.

ADAMS' LECTURE Will Take Place Tomorrow Evening Instead of Saturday The date assigned for Professor Adams' lecture has been changed fom Saturday to tomorrow, Thursday, evening, and It will be given at the assembly room of the acad emy, 830 South Broadway. On account of the recent war with Spain and the negotia tions pending Its settlement, the subject of the lecture, "The Indictment of Spain by History," ts very timely, and there will be a general desire to hear the views of a ripe scholar who has devoted more than forty years of his life to a philosophical study of the world's history, and has a national reputation behind htm. This fine opportunity vouchsafed to the people of Los Angeles will, perhaps, be alt the more appreciated when It ts known that the pro fessor leaves for the east next Saturday morning, and the same lecture will be de livered at the Ne.c York Institute at a cost to that society of 8100. Professor Adams Is the author of several standard works on history, one of which, "The Manusl of Historical Literature," Is a comprehensive work of reference of which three editions have been exhausted. It comprises descriptions of the most im portant histories in English, French and German, together with practical sugges tions as to methods and course of historical study. The philosophic character of this work, the profundity of learning and the Judicious conclusions have given the au thor high standing among his contempora ries. Professor Adams Is a most pleasing speaker, and an audience worthy of the man and the theme should be assured. The lecture will be free. University Notes Mr. and Mrs. M. S.

She repeats the good news to her neighbors, and thus the fame of Ripans Tabules was spread about. She relates an en thusiastic story of what the Tabules have done for her. A kind friend, she says, first obtained a promise that she would try Rip ans Tabules. She did so, and in a very short time the change for the better was so marked that her doctor asked her what was the cause of her improved condition. The Tabules were so effective in curing her of biliousness that she gave them to her husband and thinks it was due to them that his life was spared through the winter. She feels that she can not praise Ripans Tabules too highly. They banish pain and prolong life. One gives relief.
