A MATTER OF $500.
Figures Altered in Agreement Between
Architect and Borough.


Owing to the absence of quorm the
borough council failed to meet Tuesday
evening. Last evening, however, six of
the members, Messrs. Kline, Davis,
Mulhearn, DePierro, Rute and Rude
wick, got together, and before they ad-
journed some more damaging evidence
of jobbery and high-handed schcming
was produced. Fortunately the few
members of council who are protecting
the citizens interests against the as
saults of their avaricous colleagues and
other plunderers were strong enough in
numbers last evening to expose the
crooked work that is being engineered
by clique which apparently believes
the borough can be neeced without
protest from the taxpayers.
As reported in the proceedings of the
last meeting, the motion to designate
Frank Salmon as architect of the bor-
ough building and to pay him $500 for
his plans was rushed. At that meet
ing Councilmen Mulhearn and Rude
wick were absent.
Last night Mr.. Mulhearn called
attention to the fact that the contract
made with the architect was for $500 for
the plans, not $500, and asked for an
explanation as to how the figures
changed during the time between the
conference with the architect and the
meeting of council.
The architect admitted that he alter
ed the figures.
Councilmen Rudewick and Mulhearn
then entered their objections to such
high h-handed work and demanded that
the matter be referred to the borough
solicitor. A motion to this effect was
made.
Counclmen DePierro and Rute spoke
in defense of the architects action and
matter.
The vote on the motion to refer the
question to the solicitor was tie,
Messrs. Kline, Rudewck and Mulhearn
voting for it, while Messrs. DePierro,
Davis and Rute opposed the action,
The discussion was spirited while it
lasted, and the manner in which some
of the members took offense at insinua-
tions of 'there being something in it,
do not go very far in altering general
opinion that conspiracy exists among
certain councimen to take care of
interests other than those of the tax
payers in the erection of the proposed
borough building. Indisputable evil
dence to prove the above is being gath
cred, and again the TRIBUNE calls upon
the councilmen to beware, for the citi-
zens of Freeland are in no mood to
trife with wrong-doers.
Treasurer DePierro reported bal
ance in the treasury of $5.44.
The committee on the CarbonR Ridge
street sewer was ordered to report at
the next meeting.
On motion the names of certain streets
in the South Heberton portion of town
were changed as follows: Main street,
South Heberton, to Schwabe street;
Centre street, Alvintown, to Alvin
street; Chestnut street, Alvintown, to
Dewey street; the road leading from
Alvin street to Highland to be Oak
street.
The street committee was instructed
to have boards with names of streets
placed in position.
The fire and water committee was in
structed to advertise for proposals for
the installation of an electric fire alarm
system.
Council will meet tomorrow evening.

and attention to letters of similar char
acter prevented me from doing so be
fore now. Accept my most heartfelt
gratitude for the honor you do me by
suggesting my name for the congress
sional nomination. I fully appreciate
your friendship, but 1 can not refrain
from saying that 1 fear you underesti-
mate the stupendous barriers that
stand between a man like me and the
honorable body that makes the laws
of the cOuntry-for the rich. My pOlltI-
cal career began with my candidacy for
the mayOralty of Wichita and in all
human probability ended with my de-
feat for that office. 1t was a brief po-
litical career, but am glad that I had
it, for it taught me the Importance of
our kind of people standing together at
all times and under all circum stances.
Il hardly think this is the time to
elect a man like me to congress for the
report has gone abroad, and prejudiceS
still exists, that 1 am a crank-a dan
gerOus man who entertainS the idea
that muscle and Drawn and brains
should be organized for self-prOtectiOn
against concentrated wealth and con-
sOlidated speculative genius. Do you
believe that man who thinks, and so
expresses himself. that he who pro-
duces wealth by the sweat of his fore
head and has a prior right in the Shar-
ing of its profits can go to congress at
this time in spite of the political machi-
nations of the speculatOr who manip-
ulates the markets by the brass of his
cheek?
Il believe our first duty is to make
our national house of representatives
a house of commons if not in name in
spirit at least. 1 think that the more
nearly it inclineS to the common people
the more intelligence and ability and
virtue it will possess. 1 don't believe
in sending demOgOgueS to congress;
because man has glib tongue is no
reason why he should lack an itching
palm.
Il would sooner have a man in con-
gress with good horse sense and an
honest heart than an orator like Demos
themes who hasn't a true heart and
sound head. Hoping that we will be
represented in the next congress by
such a man. I remain yours for better
government, JAMES w TAPP'

INSIDE HISTORY.
GA Delegate" to the Hutchinson En-
campment Tells Some Things.

Some of the delegates to the recent
Grand Army encampment at Hutchin-
son claim that the entire inside history
of the election of delegates to the ma
tional encampment has never been told
yet.
Ira F. Collins of Sabetha, was chair
man of the First district caucus" said
one of the delegates. after the two
delegates who had been agreed upon
had been nominated Mr.. Collins was
about to close the nominations, when
P H. Coney jumped up and nominated
John Seaton of Atchison. The question
arose as to whether Seaton was mem
Der of the G. A. r. at ALL Some of the
delegates claimed that he had never
attended an encampment except when
he was a candidate for governor. Any
way he only received six votes out OF a
total of 30.
when Mr. Coney found that there
was to be no delegate-at-large he tried
to have the encampment reconsider the
action by which each congressional dis
trict was allowed to elect two delegates
and he wanted the encampment to Sc
lect them all. He tried to work Dick
Blue into this scheme, but as Dick had
been chosen as a delegate himself from
the Second district although he lives
down in the Third now, he didn't favor
Conveys plan and it was voted down II
there had been a delegate at-large,
Gen. Hudson would have undoubtedly
been elected.o
