Dr. Robert Reyburn mas acknowledged
the refusal of the Commissioners to allow
a hearing to citizens on the bill authoriz-
ing a special election to determine neither

of government. 1T Is" he says, arbitrary
and despotic in power; there Is q divided
responsibility between three rulers, render

CHARGE AGAINST A CONTRACTOR.

An Investigation to he Made of the
Work Done ON n New School House.
A committee Of the Federation Of Labor
today presented to the Commissioners a
charge against Contractor Charles r. Mum
roe of gross violation of the contract and
specifications for the construction Of the
new school building on E street between
18th and Nth streets southeast.
The committee comprises Messrs. George
o. Cook, Thomas E. Webster and Columbus
NJ. Barnes, and it Is their allegation that
the contract and Specifications referred to
are violated in workmanship and material;
that the brick work is executed in the
worst possible manner, the walls being
being neither plumb, straight or level; that
salmon brick have been used in the walls
above the grade line, and that the walls
are built hollow to an extent that admits
the hand of man between the bricks;
that the joints in the select brick work are
extra thickness and are out of plumb; that
the joists are sappy, bark edge and knotry
and leveled up to the walls with from two
to three courses of dry brick and upon
whole is libel on skilled labor.
The charge was handed by Secretary
Tindall to Commissioner Truesdell today,
but the latter has not looked at it as yet.
Building Inspector Brady. who. in turn.
will hand 1t over to Mr.. Cox. who is su-
perintending the construction of the school
house for the District. If the charges are
found to be correct the walls now up will
have to be taken down and rebuilt in &C
cordance with the plans and specifications
at the expense of the contractor.
Building Inspector Brady stated to a
Star reporter today that he intends to make
a full and complete investigation Of the
matter During the early portion of Febru-
ary said Mr.. Brady, he visited the site OF
the building and found number of salmon
or soft brick about the place. which he Or
dered removed At that time he was in
formed by Superintendent Cox that no sal
mon brick had been used on the building.
The charges state that the walls are
built hollow, but Superintendent Cox, who
is supposed to witness the laying Of every
brick, declares the allegation to be err
roneous, so Mr.. Brady informed the report
er. 1t seems that the portions of the walls
claimed to be hollow were built by union
workmen and rise to a height of but three
feet above the surface Of the ground.
About a month ago some friction occurred
and the union men stopped work. Since
that time non-union men have been en-
ployed.
II can soon tell" said Mr.. Brady. IF the
walls are hollow by merely plugging them,
and it will be a simple matter to decide
whether or not the plans and specifications
have been violated. II such Is the case. l
shall, of course, order the work done over
again."
Mr.. Brady thinks It Is strange that the
charges were not preferred several weeks
ago, before the solid walls. built above the
alleged hollow walls. reached their present

The shirt-waist craze is beginning
early this year. They are already on

The cheapest ones are not at all pretty

Stripes are seldom seen in this line OF
goods.
A few of the new waists are trimmed
some with collars Of a different shade.
Others with embroidery of some kind.
Some have collars and cuffs that can he

have white collars.

New Model for sleeves.

Sleeves are as large as ever. and
some authorities say are still spread
ing. A new model has a trimming Of
galloon set from wrist to elbow on a
lego mutton sleeve. The galloon meets
IT the cuff and spreads as the sleeve
-videns; the upper ends of the strips
are either turned in to form points or
the ends are doubled over and make q
loop, which is left loose for about an
inch and a half The sleeves of summer
dresses will be trimmed in this same
fashion with ribbons about half 10
three-quarters of an inch wide. Al
though a great deal of summer sewing
is already under way, the demand for
velvet would suggest autumn rather
than spring.
