latter carried instructions from County
Attorney Rieke and he left last night
with the official opinion of Attorney Cen
eral Douglas, who reviews the points at
issue, so far as he could arrive at them
from the data at hand, and who holds
that, so far as the publication of the pc
titton is concerned, the board of county
commissioners acted without jurisdiction.
1t is held that at least two weeks must
elapse from the beginning Of the publ
cation Of notice, and in this connection
Gen. Douglas says:
AS applied to the facts In this case
the rule Is a different one to comply
with, but the fault in not giving suffi.
Client time to readily provide for such
publishing lies with the Legislature and
not with the courts or administrative Of
fcers.
The first publication in the RenviIIe
Times being on Aug. 10, two weeks pub
licatton was not complete until Aug "a
or one day subsequent to the meeting of
the board. 1t follows that upon the facts
stated in your communication, assuming
that the publication of the Renville
Times was not commenced at an I'M
usual hour in the morning, or under coll
fusion with parties interested for the
purpose Of preventing a publication Of tina
notice in question in issue of Aug. 3, I
am Of the opinion that your board of
county commissioners is without jurisdic.
ton in the premises.
Should the opinion of Attorney Cen
eral Douglas be sustained by the court
1t would seem that the whole county seat
question would have to be reopened and
another petition secured for removal of
the county's capital.

COULDN'T SPLIT UP CONTRACTS
BOARD OF FIRE COMMISSIONERS
RECONSIDERS ITS PREVIOUS
ACTION

Assistant Corporation Attorney
Taylor Decides That CoaI Com
tracts May Be Let to Lowest Bid
der, but Not to Lowest Bidders.
The board Of fire commissioners held a.
meeting yesterday afternoon and recon-
sidered the action taken at a meeting
Tuesday night by which the contract for
coal was ordered equally apportioned
between the Pioneer Fuel company.
Adams Coal company, Northwestern Fuel
company and the Ohio Coal company.
AT the meeting Tuesday night the board
decided that as all bids for anthracite
and bituminous coal were at the same
figure 1t would be the best thing to d.
vide the contract among the four firms
mentioned. It was agreed by the repre-
sentatires of the four firms that the
board could order either hard or soft
Coaf at the prices quoted, some Of the
members Of the board being of the opin-
ion that it would be cheaper to heat the
engine houses with soft coal at $685. per
ton than hard coal at $7.25 and $3.50 per
ton.
When rough drafts of the contracts
were sent to the legal department to be
drawn Assistant Corporation Attorney
Taylor notified the board that there was
no authority for this action The charter.
Mr.. Taylor informed the board provided
/ that contracts should be let to the lowest
| responsible bidder, and not the lowest
responsible bidders. If it was the judg-
ment of the board that the contract for
fuel should be apportioned among the
companies then d separate contract would
have to be drawn with each company
for different varieties Of coal. The at
torney suggested that one way would be
to pick out one company and make a
single contract for all the coal, or make
several contracts with different com
panies for fuel.
In the meantime the coal companies,
learning of the opinion given by the legal
department held a consultation and decid-
ed to arlow one firm to get the contract
and split up with the other three on the
coal A motion was made by Commits
sioner Wolther to give the contract to
the Ohio Coal company, but objection
was made to this on the ground that
this firm bid s. for furnishing four tons
of Cumberland coal, while the other firms
offered to furnish it at $3.50 per ton, and
consequently the firm was not the lowest
bidder.
The contract was awarded to the Pho
neer Fuel company, the bid Of the firm
being $3.50 for COO tons of Pocahcntas. or
New River, $7.25 for CRATE, $3.50 Tor egg
and stove, ST for sixty-five tons of Mans
field, and $3.50 for four tons of Cumber-
land.
The st. Paul and Western Coal COM
pany, Youghiogheny and Lehigh Coaf
company, and the Boston Coal Dock and
Wharf company were among the bid
ders for the hard coal contract, but none
OF the three firms put in bids for soft
coal A representative Of one of the four
firms which is to be in the contract said
last evening that the three firms which
bid for hard coal, but failed to respond
to the advertisement for soft coal. would
offer no objections to the action of the
fire commissioners.

ARCHITECTS OF NOTE
MEN OF WORLDWIDE REPUTA-

FORNLA
WERE SELECTED AS. A JURY

To Pass Upon Designs Submitted for
Mrs. Phoebe Hearst's $I5,OOO,OoO
University in California - This
Magnificent Building Will Sur
pass Any Educational Institution
in the World.
In private car in tho union station
yards last night was party of distin-
guished architects, on their way to Cali
fornta, to judge plans submitted for the
new university to be built at Berkeley, for
which Mrs. Phoebe Hearst, a wealthy Cal
iforntan, has given an endowment fund
of $4,000, OOO
The party included architects of world
wide reputation, among them Prof. Wal
lot, Architect Of the Imperial Parna-
ment House Of Berlin" a title which was
bestowed upon him by the emperor of
Germany for his notable work in the
construction Of the famous parliament
buildings Of the German government; R.
Norman Shaw, most distinguished
architect Of London, Eng, whose work
on English public buildings and the vol
tectural art have made him known
throughout the world; Prof. Pascal, of
Paris, who has been the instructor of
many of the leading American architects,
and who has long been a leading member
of the profession in France; Walter
Cook, of New York, who has recently
won distinction in several notable
achievements in his line of work, and
several invited guests
The gentlemen are members Of an in
ternational jury selected to pass upon
plans. or designs, submitted for Mrs
Hearst's new university. competition
for the acceptance Of plans for the
projected institution was held some
months ago in Antwerp, Belgium, at
which eighty-flve drawings for the build
ings Of the university were submitted
AT the completion these gentlemen were
selected to pass upon the designs and
make final awards, at the same time to
make such suggestions and corrections
as their superior Judgment dictates. The
competition drew architects from Ger
many, Holland, France, England and al
most every country of the old world, as
we'll as from the most prominent archi-
tects in the United States.
Mrs. Hearst has set aside a fund of
$4,000 which will be divided into prizes
by the international jury. and given to
the architects whose designs are accept
ed. This is entirely separate from the
money which will be paid the architects
as their fees, and is offered as an in
ducement in order to bring forth the
very best possible standards of excel
lence which the most skilled architects
of the world are able to set. At the first
contest in Antwerp eleven plans were ac-
cepted, and it is upon these that the jury
will pass Judgment.
The new university will surpass any
educational institution in the West There
will be 240 buildings erected before the
| institution is complete representing mil
lions of dollars. The Leland Stanford
university will be merely a public school
in comparison, and the Berkeley institu-
ton will even surpass the Chicago uni
versity, which has been the recipient of
so many Of the Rockefeller millions. The
party left for the coast last night in
their private car, the Courier.

PLAY FOR POSITION
NEW DEVELOPMENTS BOB UP IN
THE RENVILLE COUNTY
SEAT WAR
DISPUTE WAKES VERY WARM

Now Claimed That There was q De-
feet I'm the Publication of the
Notice, Which NuIIifies the Whole
Was Thought That Bird Island
Had Eaten the Canary.
The famous county seat war which has
been waged in Renville county with
varying success for a number of moons
past, and which bids fair to rival the
War Of the Roses in point of longevity
at least, assumed a new and unexpected
phase yesterday, when, to use a common
expression, 1t got up to the state capitol.
1t may be recalled that a strenuous effort
has been made to remove the county seat
Of RenviIle from Beaver Falls, which has
been considered out of the way on &C
count, of the lack Of railroad facilities,
to either Bird Island or Olivia While
an effort was being made to retain the
county seat at Beaver Falls, the resi-
dents of both the other towns got busy
of late, Especially as it was regarded as
a cinch that either Bird Island or Olivia
would secure the prize.
Up to a couple of days ago Bird Island
thought the matter had been settled In
It's favor, as it was presumed that all of
the conditions of the law had been com
piled with, including the official publica-
ton of the petition for removal
The citizens of Olivia, however, do not
look at 1t in this way and, as the devei-
opments Of yesterday show, they are
sparring for time and do not propose to
give up the fight without final struggle.
1t is claimed by the latter that the pc
tition and notice of publication Of re-
moval were not printed in the Renville
Times, a weekly paper printed at Olivia,
and it is admitted that this is the only
dereliction- The dispute waxed very
warm over the mooted point, and in or
der to settle the matter an appeal was
taken to A. v. Rieke, the county attorney
OF Renville county, and in turn the latter
called upon the attorney general of the
state for a construction of the abstruse
points of law involved. In order that
there may be no further delay in bring
Ing about a settlement a messenger ar
rived at the capitol yesterday in the
