WAsH1NGToN. June III. H. Hood. the con-
tractor engaged in building the superstructure
Of the new immigrant station at Ellis Island.
y. Y. had a conference to-day with Secretary
Gage and Supervising Architect Taylor Of tho
Treasury Department Mr.. Hood ordered his
men to quit work two or three days ago be-
cause he believed the Government intended to
ahrogate its contract with him The Secretary
Of the Treasury had caused a notice TO be sent
to him reminding him of the clause of the con
tract which enabled the Government to annul
the agreement upon eight days notice This
action was taken because the Treasury De-
partment had been informed that the work
was not progressing rapidly enough to enable
the contractor to complete it within the pre-
scrbed limit Of time. Mr. Hool did not know
this. however, and he construed the depart
ment's communication to mean that the con
tract was to be Hhrognt"d So he resolved to
quit work at once The department asked
him to come to Washington for a conference.
Contractor Hood was informed to- day Of the
true state Of affairs. as 1t had been described to
the Supervising Architect. and was told there
was no danger that he would lose the contract
if ha fastened his building operations. The
contractor accepted the condition and re-
turned to New York.
