She marched In the Roosevelt parade
and when ha was opposing Alton B.
Parker. Democrat, for the Presidency.
In 1904. she spent a good deal of time

Fsrson Son Co., Chicago bond buyers,
will be compelled to Institute legal pro
ceedings to secure return of their cer
tified check for tSOOO In connection with
their recent bid on 1500.000 of Broadway
bridge bonds. They were so Informed
ve.terrfav. when Mavor Simon and City
Auditor Barbur replied to a telegram
from them demanding immediate return
of the check. They were alao plainly In
formed that their actions are regarded
by the municipal authoritlea aa en
evidence of bad faith.
It Wj the intention of Mayor Simon and
Mr. Barbur to force the company to bring
action In the local courts. If they want
the certified check returned, and if this
Is done. It will open the whole question
of the firm's bid on tha bonda and will
produce aome highly Interesting facta, it
1 believed In official clrcleet That the
bid was not made In good faith has been
the strong belief or the Mayor and
Auditor, as well aa others closely Identi
fied with the bridge project, for a long
time. When' tha bonds were rejected on
advice of the company's attorney be
cause they were sold below par. the city
authoritlea were more than ever con
vinced that the deal was In bad faith
and determined to hold the check.
Testerday morning Mr. Barbur re
ceived a telegram, saying Faxaon Son
& co. were greatly surprised at the action
of tha city In not returning the check
and demanding that It be returned at
once. A reply waa sent them within a
few minute, as outlined, and suggesting
legal proceedings.
"If they ever open up this transaction
In tha local court, we will probably get
some Interesting facta." aald Mr. Bar
bur. "One thing Is certain, we do not
propose to turn back the check until
we know some things about thla deal.
If wa ever turn It back at all; the mere
statement by the flrra'a attorney that
the bonds axe Illegal because sold tor
less than par will not go with ua."

of Portland water bonds, telegraphed
Mr. Barbor yesterday. Inquiring the rea
son why Fsrson Son & Co. refused to
take the Broadway bridge bonds. Mr.

regarded by local attorneya aa flimsy,
and told tha Boaton buyera what It was.
