ARCHITECTS CLsECH THEIR FISTS.
Saw the Delaware State Hospital Trustees
must Give Them Money aud without
Delay.

ohN tno DolhWhro oNhto notpithi trustees
must Give Them Money aud without
Delay.
II know my business and I'll also max >
It hot for this institution." said Architect
M Il Dickinson, OF Philadelphia, TO an
EVENING JOURNAL reporter at the Del
aware State Hospital at Farnhurst
yesterday afternoon THE plans l made
for the new buildings at Farnhurst,
which we're rudely thrust aside after they
had not only been approved by the
trustees but referred to Or Hancker and
myself for some light alterations, en-
title me to more money than | sent my
bill In for and these trustees will see
that In referring my plans to their own
committee for alteration they virtually
accepted them and l am entitled to the
full amount"
Mr.. Dickinson had just appeared
before the Board where he acting on the
advice Of his attorney, submitted a bill
for 1928. for services rendered as a
professional architect
The board did nothing but formally
Ignore the bill, and thinks the man daft
for concocting any such grab game
Dickinson was one OF the bidders to
prepare specifications for the new
Farm hurst annex building last Summer
He submitted his plans in response to an
advertisement which specifically stated
that the drawings must be for a building
that would cost $50 600. the total amount
Of the state appropriation.
After repeated attempts to get bids on
the plans the board gave It up In despair
as all the Wilmington builders declared
that Dickinson's plans could not be
carried out for $50 000 Thus the plans
became void because they were not
what the board had advertised for.
Architect Lewis r Springer also
handed the Bosrd Of Trustees yesterday
little bill for $500. which had to be
referred to tbs boards attorney.
Springer claims that be was engaged
by the Board OF Trustees several years
ago as It's architect and did super
wise several buildings under the
boards direction, for all Of
which work he has not
been paid He wouldn't have "kicked"
had the board allowed him to superln
tend the new annex buildings as 10 once
talked Of and he submitted his $500 bill
with the pull-string that II the board
engaged him to superintend the new
buildings he would do 1t free, accepting
the $500 ss payment
Mr.. Springer cited several cases where
the architect had no difficulty In recover
ing 3 per cent Of the cost Of building
he also sho we'd a letter from ex-
Superintendent d ID RlchaI dson, which
commits the board as It refers to him as
the boards architect and instructs him
to do certain things

Alleged Attempted Hold Up.

While the Chicago papers tell of an
attempt yesterday morning at Joliet
to hold up train Is on the Rock Island
road reaching that city at 1852 a.
m, coming out from Chicago, none
of the train men who have come into
Rock Island have known anything of
the circumstances. The bold attempt
is alleged to have been committed
near the coal chutes of the road, two
miles below Joliet. the assertion
being that three men entered the
first car of the train with a command
to all to hold up their hands, but
that as the bandits started down the
aisle with drawn revolvers one of
the passengers with an oath jumped
up end fired three shots, whereupon
the would-be robbers made hasty
exit.
