T'hn'h WANTS NEW
SITE CHOSEN
The new Municipal Building Commission met at
the Mayors office noon yesterday and declared
that the competition had closed Controller Myers
reported that 80 designs for the new City Hall
had been filed. The number submitted shows that
the rivalry among architects has been OF a lively
character. The last plan. received yesterday. was
deposited at the Controllers Office exactly time
This was done by man who had telephoned
early in the day that railroad accident had de-
layed his drawings He asked for extension of
time, but ii was not needed. Three beated sets of
plans came during the afternoon. at 1910 o'clock
which was brought by man who explained that
he was late because neither the elevated railway
nor the surface would take his big package
aboard. a telegram received from Peoria
ILL.,. saying that the sender had sent a plan from
that place at 10 a. IN. yesterday. What to do with
these delayed designs the commission will decide
at it's next neetnl
One hundred and eight Of the 1870 plans In COM
petition come apparently from local architects.
while the express labels the envelopes and
packages indicate that twenty-five from out
OF town. One came from Liverpool. one from Paris
three from Chicago. two from Denver. two from
ST. Louis and each from Philadelphia Ceve-
land. Washington. Kansas city. Atlanta, Toronto
Montreal. Boston. St Paul. POughkeepsie. Rich
mond Lexington. Ky. and w-Britain. Conn
The five prize designs selected will draw equal
cash award or xS.WU "acn, anu lne drCnleCt whose
plan Is finally accepted will receive a commission
which will amount to many thousands OF dollars
In making choice OF the best designs the COM
mission will be assisted by committee OF disn-
terested architects OF rnquestioneti reputation.
The money value. OF each set of plans is said TO
represent from 81 600 10 81. 800 total OF about
$4,000.
Five members were present at Yesterdays meet
ing Of the commissioner bare quordm-Acting
Mayor Mcclellan Controller Myers. County Clerk
Purroy. Register Levy and Deputy Chamberlain
Campbell Mr.. Purroy said that he was r,ady with
argument to show that the site selected for
the structure not the proper and
should be changed but In the absence of Mayor
Gilroy he would postpone reading it. when the
motion put to close the competition Mr.. Pur-
roy asked TO be excused from voting, but ii was
found that his vote necessary make the
action legal and he therefore voted under "a stip
uatOn that he could move a reconsideration OF
the resolution fixing the site and present his argu-
ment at the next meeting.
MIR. Purroy wants to remove the old Tweed
house and make the new city Hall the only
building IN the park.
The plans will remain sealed until the next meet
ing. which will be held after Mayor Gilroy's re-
turn from the Worlds Fair. The Controller was
authorized TO fit up suitable room in the Stew
art Building for putting them on view.

RIISED MONEY on MYTHICAL COTzQ
BANKS OF FALL RIVER ROBBED BY BROKER

on ALTERED BILLS OF LADING.
Fall River, Mass, Sept. IA sensation was causes
here last night by the publication OF an article II
THE Evening News" saying in effect that severa!
OF the city banks which have discounted notes
secured by bills of lading for a cotton broker. WEI
come III. Hathaway, who for a score OF years naS
been one OF the largest factors in this city, nao
failed to find the cotton represented by many OK
the bills OF lading. The amount involved Dy the
several banks Is $4,000. How much collateral be-
hind these bills IS good is yet to be ascertained.
but it is feared that the amount Will prove to D
small. Five banks concerned about as follows:
First National Bank. $1,000; b. NJ c. Durfee Trust
Company. s25 coo; Massasoit National Bank, 240Ooi
Union National Bank $1,000 Pocasset National
Bank $4,000 The Il. VI. c. Durfee Company 70
reported to hold warehouse receipts for about
loo and the First National collateral supposed
TO be worth about sl9 900. The Meacomet, Fall River
National and Second National banks are believed to
have escaped. Mr. Hathaway refuses to make any
statement. Hathaway has specialized heavily In
cotton and has been known at various times to
carry $4,000 worth of cotton
Hathaways liabilities include $4,000 to the
Bourne Mills.
Hathaway is now under police surveillance.
Rumors are current TO the effect that one broker
and a prominent young business man will be losers
by the trouble at the banks 1t is said on good
authority that Hathaway has sold cotton half
cent below the market price within year In an
endeavor TO raise ready money to tide him over
a hard place. Assessors records for 1882 show
IIathaway's property to have been valued at . go.

Whether or not this practice was adopted, or
whether or not the dates changed cannot BE-
