KOKOMO FIRMS BID LOWEST.
May Lose the Contract, However,, by
Clerks Negligence.

Special to the Indianapolis Journal.
WASHINGTON, Sept. S.-When the
bids for the erection of the new public
building at Youngstown, o., were opened at
the Treasury Department to-day, it was
found that the lowest was that of Messrs.
S. c. Moere & Son, of Kokomo. Their bid
was for $2S.S77. By some clerical oversight
the bid was not signed, as required, and
the bid was consequently laid aside. A GER
titled check required in the advertise
ment calling for bids, accompanied the
Moore bid so the omission of the firm sig
nature was presumably an oversight. The
department did not finally reject the bid,
but will take 1t under advisement. The
next lowest bid that of Bailey, Keoner
& Co., OF Louisville. for s31, S49 The high
est bid was that of Wagner * Willis, of
cials are accustomed TO wide divergence
in contractors estimates. but this is the
first time within recollection that there has
been a difference of 100 per cent. between
the highest and the lowest bid.

SECOND GAME.
The second game went to the visitors,
the score being six to four. 1t was pret-
ty game from start to finish, and was any
body's until the last man was retired.
Cross was in the box for the visitors and
pitched good ball. Phyle went in to pitch
for the locals, hut '.e gave the first three
men up bases balls without pitching
strike, and then retired in favor of Den
zer The latter pitched well throughout,
but could not win his game. Hogan,
Shannon and Krauss carried off the
honors of the game. The former did
wonderful work in center field, retiring
six men on flies, two of them being sensa~
tional catches. Shannon had seven chances
and accepted them all without a skip. He
made one or two stops OF hard-hlt DallS
which were as pretty as were ever made on
ball field. Mullane missed a chance TO
complete a triple play in the first inning,
with three men on bases. Motz lined a
ball to Krauss, who caught it and sent 1t
TO Hollfpgsworth on second, who in turn
threw to first The ball went straight
into Mullanes hands, but he dropped 1t.
His man was a dozen feet off the base
and would have easily been put out but for
the tumble. The visitors scored their first
run in the third inning. Shannon hit for
two bases and scored on a single by Motz:
In the fourth. doubles by Stewart and
Wood gave the visitors another. Wood $
homer in the sixth inning was the third,
and the other three were scored in the

statements made in a Washington spec
ial to the Evening Express to the effect
that Senator Elliins appeared before the
commerce committee of the senate in
faVor OF the double -harhor appropria-
tion scheme, and that Senator Beiry's
leaning was toward Santa Monica.
Mr.. Gibbon said: II wish to say that
| am thoroughly acquainted With the
views of both Senators Ilkns and
Berry on the subject of a harhor for
Los Angeles. Both gentlemen are en-
rhatically i'll favor of San Pedro only.
knowing Senator Elkns as well as
do, 1 have not the least hesitancy in
pronouncing the statement of the Ex-
press correspondent utterly absurd, and
consequently unworthy of belief.
have also excellent reason for believing
that Senator Berry has not in any
way altered his mind. If Senator Ell
kins indulged in any examinatio of the
parties appearing before the senate
committee to discuss the harbor pro-
jects it was solely for the purpose of
bringing out the truth. so that the
merits of the San Pedro undertaking
could be made plain to the senator's.

These hotels are state property, erect

two Years ago there was but one hotel
and that cost the state $4,000, 1t was
