HOW THOSE
 DEPOT PLANS
 WERE CHANGED The Commissioners Were Responsible. cOLNON'S LITTLE SPEECH 
ARCHITECT E. R. SWAIN PRE-
 sENTS HIS SIDE.
Commissioner Colnon, Speaking to a Question of Privilege, Asserts That He Did Not Take
 the Initiative.

Edward R. Swain, supervising architect of the ferry building, was the chief wit ness yesterday at the session of the Sen ate Committee of Inquiry. Before ad- iournment Tuesday evening last General Dickinson, chairman of the committee, gave notice that the line of inquiry would be formed to establish the responsibility for changes in the plans and specihca- tions It was understood also that MT. Swain would have ample opportunity to present figures and records of measure ment to dispute the calculations embodied in the report of Expert James w Reid.
 A vast deal of time was occupied in the expression of opinion concerning proper allowance for work done and material furnished under the revised specifications. MT. Swain submitted figures showing the cost of new material in excess of the amounts figured by MT. Reid. It was obvious that the forms of calculations or the methods of determining cost were not uniform. Mr. Swain followed one form and MT Reid another. Hence great deal of figuring was done during the progress of the inquiry in order to bring the cal culations to a common basis.
 On the total cost there was not wide divergence. On marble cornice 1t was contended by MT. Swain that MT. Reid's report did not give an estimate approxi- mating the actual cost of the material
 On the four big contracts. steel and iron, masonry, carpenter work, and roofing painting and glazing, 1t was shown that the revision of the specifications was au- thorized by the Board of Harbor Commis- sioners. The architects estimates of in- creased allowance by reason of the changes were separately approved by the Board of Commissioners. A statement setting forth in general terms such ap- proval was embodied in the official re- porter's notes and made part of the of fcial record of the investigation.
 When General Dickinson, chairman of the committee, directed that the state ment be embodied in the/ committees record of the inquiry, Commissioner Col non addressed the chairman, saying, in substance: ''Is this general statement or omnibus report of the action of the Board of Harbor Commissioners, to be transmitted to the Legislature in lieu of the record on each change, as contained in the minutes of the board? As a mat ter of personal privilege l desire to re- quest that the minutes of the board be entered in the report to show how each Commissioner voted. I have been ac- cused of taking the initiative in allowing these changes. The record will show that as chairman of the board I put a motion whenever 1t was made, and when two Commissioners voted In the affirma- tive declared the approval of the board. The only purpose have is to show that

Interest in the concert continues to
increase and it is expected that 1t Will
be one of the greatest musical events
here in years. No efforts have been
spared to make it a great success in
every respect. The rehearsals show a
finish to the work seldom heard, and
Mr. Watkins has been most happy in
securing the brilliant talent to be found
on the programme. The fact that
Bauers band will give some of it's best
numbers should alone assure big
audience.
A number of good seats can be had
today and these should be secured as
early as possible. If the public realized
how very needy the institution now is
and how verv low are the funds 1t
would seem that the patronage for this
event would exceed the limits of the
lyCeum.

Zizelman's majority, 1.
The discrepancy between the Demo-
cratic vote for the two offices in the
Second district it is believed is what
has caused Mr.. Flanaghan's suspicion
that he was not fairly treated there.
He claims, however. that he has bet
ter grounds for his contemplated ac-
tion than a mere suspicion.
Attorney NJ. A. Mckinley watched
the count yesterday in Mr.. Flana-
ghan's interests, and Hon. G. p. OMal-
ley looked after Mr.. Zizelmans inter-
ests. The affidavits were carefully
scrutinized and their possible defects
noted, and other such measures taken
as are customary in the preparation
for the waging and defense of a con-
test.
CAST FOR TOM FLANAGHAN.
There was one vote on the Second
district return sheet accredited to
Tom Flanaghan." The prospective
contestant believes that the vote was
cast for him and will make an effort
to have it so recorded. In the early
days of the Baker ballot law there
might be some hopes of Mr.. Flanaghan
capturing this ballot under Judge Arch
| bald's decision that the intention of
the voter should be the primary con-
sideration in disputed ballot, but
| since that time the supreme court has
decided that the letter of the law must
| be strictly adhered to and that it is
| not allowable for the election board
| to go behind or beyond what appears
| on the ballot.
1t is the intention of Mr. Flanaghans
| attorneys to make motion in court
| today to have an official recount of the
ward.
There were no indications of any
| other possible contests. Attorney d. j
| Davis kept tabs on the Second and
| Sixth ward returns in the interests
| of Mr. Finn and Mr.. James, but their
| respective opponents We're not present
| or represented by counsel.
The counting was begun at noon and
continued up till o'clock. The clerks
We're on the Ninth ward returns when
| they quit for the day. No discrep-
| enceS between the official and open re-
| turns We're discovered. There was
| comparatively little interest taken in
| the count. Instead of one of it's own
number acting, as is usual, court APP
| pointed j. Elliott Ross as it's substi-
| tute and gave him the name of COM
| pairing clerk. T. p. Duffy, X. H. Hol-
| gate and John NJ. Corbett are acting
as recording clerks; c. w Dawson and
| r. j. Murray, as reading clerks: James
| L. Watkins and p. f. Timln, file
| clerks.

| TURNS.
Clerk of the Courts Thomas p. Dan
| iels and Deputy Emil Bonn also start
| ed in yesterday at noon to enter from
