IS DODGE TO GET IT?
Andrews's Refusal to Open Bids
Anglers Other Contractors
They Say It Is a Scheme to Shut Out
All Fair Competition.
Paper-C Chasing . Specification for
Trimming scows.

The refusal of street-Cleaning Com
missioner William 8. Andrews yesterday
to receive n open bids for trimming
the city scows has caused considerable
dissatisfaction among the dozen or more
contractors who hoped to capture what
II generally regarded as one of the rich
est prizes in the Department. Already
statements are being made that the
Commissioners refusal was in the In
terest of one of his henchmeh, and that
the new specifications have been made
out SO that only one individuaN can
possibly hope to bid for the WORT.
At present the work of trimming the
scows is performed by Edmund Dodge,
who seems to have a remarkable in
luence In the Department. He has been
doing the work since the early part of
last Winter on an agreement from week
to week. He found scow trimming so
profitable that he was able to pay the
city 1850 a month for the privilege.
Dodge Is the same man whose employ
ment of extra laborers for Commits
sioner Andrews during the Winters
snowfall caused SO much unpleasant
talk. For every extra laborer the city
paid $3.50 per day, but the men whom
Dodge hired through the padione sys-
TEN only got a dollar or a little over.
Dodge might have had the scow-trim-
ming contract for years had not some
Of the other contractors protested. They
pointed out to the COMMISSIONS that
the scow-trimming was worth much
more than the amour paid by Dodge,
n that, in fact. by the retention OF
the latter the city was losing from 500
to 1900 per week.
Commissions Andrews put the matter
on apparently as long as he could. but
on May 10 he advertised for proposals.

over a score of bidders were on hand.
and. although. scarcely any of them had
seen the specifications. they knew in d
came with their written offers In their
pockets. The COMMISSIONS had stated
ina the specifications could be seen at
MS once, but, as a matter of fact, few
were allowed to inspect them.
Whether or not Commissioners Andrews
was afraid his frend Dodge would lose
last moment he changed his mind as to
the opening of the bids. To the waiting
contractors he said that new speciica-
tions would be made out for the scow-
trimming contract, and that the bids,
according to the new specifications, would
not be opened until June II.
The new specifications called for made
the contractors fairly weep. They provid-
ed. among other things, that contractors
must keep the water of the bay clear of
paper and other articles. In other words,
1t Ia practically insisted upon that when
ever the wind happens to blow a quantity
of stun from the scows while on their
way to the dumping, ground a boats
crew must get out and chase II.
That at least was the construction

OF paper that falls off. cannot under
stand why such specifications were
made out, unless it be to compel con-
tractors to figure too high, ana py that
contract. Mr.. Dodge has the contract
now. and apparently the scheme Is to
have him keep It,. All | can say is that
every other man is willing to bid much
81. Is a curious fact" added Mr.. Mo-
nnelli, " that of ali the men who were
ready to bid yesterday, Mr.. Dodge was
the, only n absent from Commissioner
Andrews's office. AS a matter Of fact. he

that the new specifications would be

Under his contract, supposed to do all
the dumping inst lie the crib-work at the
Island. He was caught in the act Of
dumping 1t outside. Anybody could do
that kind OF dumping for about four
cents a load.
THE new specifications will not on
their face favor Mr.. Dodge more than
anybody. else, but everybody knows how
such things are arranged. In the first
place the intention seemingly is to
Brighten off the other bid iers. II Dodge

In this connection a peculiar story was
told yesterday. 1t vas to the effect that
on Monday night Contractor Dodge,
Mr.. Caponigri, of Mulberry street. who
supplied Dodge with nearly all of his
extra men last Winter, and a high
official of the STRENGTHENING Depart
ment, were seen at Riccadonna'a res
taurant, Seventeenth street and Union
Square, in close confah. Next day at
noon new specifications for the scoW.
trimming contract were called for. Mr..
Dodge was not present, nor was there
any bid from him on the first specitica-
tons.
Meanwhile. the city is losing between
$500 and $1,000 per week. What does II
all mean?

But for the effective work OF the Fire
Department this morning the flames
which started at $50 o'clock in Simon

responded the fire had crept up a afr

stairs within the building, while u sec
ond was carried up a ladder outside.

was at an hour when almost everybody

Tartans, Barelegs, Highlanders.

The first reference to highland COS
tune occurs in the Saga Of Magnus Bare
foot, king Of Norway, 1093-ll0S, writ
ten by Snorro Sturleson, who was reared
with the children Of that monarch s
daughter Here it is stated that Mag
nus and his men on their return from a
marauding expedition to the west Of
Scotland brought with them a great
deal Of the habits and fashions Of cloth
ing of these western parts They went
about the streets with bare legs and had
short kirtles and overcloaks, and there
fore his men called him Magnus Bare
foot or Bareleg."
In the thirteenth century we seem to
have something like first reference to
actual tartans in the statutes Of the
church of Aberdeen, which provide that
"all ecclesiastics are to be suitably ap-
pareled, avoiding red, green and striped
clothing, and their garments shall not
be shorter than the middle OF the leg. "
But it should be noticed that the word
tartar" which occurs in the fifteenth
century, in the accounts of the lord high
treasurer of Scotland, and which was re-
garded by both Borthwick and Pinker-
ton as meaning tartan, really indi-
Gates, as pointed out by DR.. Dickson. a
fabric of eastern origin, frequently
variant" or shot, the warp and woof
being of contrasting colors. We find,
however, a true reference to tartan in
the same accounts in the following CEN
tury, for in August, 1888, there appears
an entry for "iij. elnis Of Heland tar.

Live Pigeon Shooting.

Live pigeon shooting from traps will
never become generally popular in this
country, because it is doubtful If there
is any form of so called "sport" which
offers so little amusement for so large a
price. 1t Is cheaper to keep saddle
horse and a pair of trotters the year
round than to indulge in pigeon shoot
ing TO any great extent The we'll known
pigeon clubs in the vicinity Of New
York sell birds to their members for SO
cents apiece, and besides this cost the
Tportsmen must pay for his cartridges,
fee the men who manipulate the traps
and provide himself with refreshments.
II bets are made-and there are many
who seek to recoup themselves in this
way-the expense is likely to be much
greater. In England and on the CONT
nent there are great many men who are
said to make Q good living out Of pigeon
shooting by means Of bets made on the
matches in which they take part them
selves, but here such a means of exist
ence would be looked upon as preca-
rious TO say the least
The birds are supplied to the club
members at about their original cost
but q certain profit is made through
their natural increase as we'll as by the
sale Of the dead birds at S1.20 dozen
and by the returning of those pigeons
which escape unhurt to the barn from
which they came. The number Of pi-
geons killed during brisk season at the
different clubs in the vicinity Of New
York is very large New York Sun
