contracts convinces him that the frauds there
were much greater than at Philadelphia
The prices paid for Philadelphia stone were
SOC per cubic foot, while those paid for st.
Louis stone were IRON 81 80 to - 80 per Gu
bic foot. Hill claims that because the stone
in the Philadelphia building was fur
nished At such low rates he was justified
in agreeing to pay higher prices for
dressing. Steinmetz says, however, that
he has discovered that the modified con-
tracts which Hill made for the dressing
OF stone for the st. Louis buildings were at
AVN much higher rate than for
the Philadelphia building. This,
he SAYS. disposcs OF HIPS cry that
the high prices for dressing were
paid because the price OF stone was
low. In the st. Louis case the
prices for stone were three or four
times that OF the Philadelphia build
ing and yet the prices paid for
dressing we're also higher. He character
ICES the contracts AS not mere

STARTLING REVELATIONS.
The Hill Inv estigatiou Shows Gigantic
Frauds in Building The St. Louis
Custom House.

WASHINGTON. June 22.-Upou opening
the Hill inyestigationIthis morning, Thomas
read statement from Damon OF the United
States tire-preof and shutter company, in
which he denied the statement made by
Taylor, OF Manly, Cooper a. Co. Coleman
stated that Manly OF the Philadelphia COM
pany, and Addison, their attorney, to whom
the offer OF bribery was made, would be in
Washington on Monday TO testify to the
charge.
Supervising Architect Hill then took the
stand and testified that the first request for
a postponement OF the test OF shutters for
the reason of the alleged bribery was made
by Representative Kelly; had never in,
formed Manly, Cooper & Co., that he had
received this letter OF denial from Damon;
did not show letter making the charge Of
bribery to the secretary, but reported the
matter verbally. Murch was recalled, and
testified further relative to his having called
HIPS attention to the existence OF frauds.
Coleman then called attention TO the terms
OF the contract for the st. LOUIS bnilding,
under which he said even more extravaganza
prices were paid contractors for furnishing
rough stone than was paid for cutting and
dressing stone, and asked the committee TO

ton. lie thought II this were done the
prosecution would be able at the next meet

Thomas, counsel for Hill, objected to going
into an investigation touching any other
public building. Coleman was surprised at
the determined efforts on the part Of Hill
ano his counsel to keep from the people Of
this country a knowledge Of the disposition
which had been made OF vast sums which
they, the people, had intrusted him with.
IL was not question Of one fraud, but OF a
