n communication from Mr. w. c. Allen
os the engineers office. stating that it was
his desire to transfer the ten lamps recent
ly allotted to Mount Olivet road to the

sition, and 81 resolution offered by Dr. L.
ID. Walter was adopted. reciting that the

sociations to look out for the particular
needs of the various sections of the Dis
trct has long since been demonstrated, he
urged the members Ito exhibit in the future
a much greater public spirit than has char
acterized their conduct in the past.
Continuing he said, There are 300 acres
of land in that great triangle lying be
tween the Bladensburg road and Benning
read having no public highways except
such as were dedicated by Robert +. Nor
ris the Corcoran estate, and John w. Ross
in connection with the Morris subdivision.
All other roads are private roads. and not
one single dollar of the public money has
ever been expended upon them
After feicitating the membership over the
work accomplished and the sums allotted
the section by the Commissioners for the
ensuing year. he urges the people OF Ben
ming and Kenilworth to join the asso-
citation as a matter of mutual benefit In
reference to park matters he says:
THE executive committee has devoted
much time and Its best thought toward
solving the problem of getting a public
park for this section, the result being that
We have recommended the purchase by the
government for park purposes Of the block
of ground bounded on the south by the
Benning road, on the east by 18th street.
the north by X street and on the west
by Bladensburg road. with proyiso that
Maryland avenue be opened through the
tract.
THE parcel OF ground referred to is part
OF the Graceland cemetery property, which
now stands as monumental barrier to all
street extensions and improvements be-
yond."
He reviewed the subject of reclaiming the
Anacostia flats and went over the subject
of street extensions eXhaustively.
The secretary was instructed to send
copy OF the report on parks TO Mr.. Moore
of the parking commission. He was also
directed, on motion Of Mr. John H. Rup-
pert, to ask the cooperation of the North
east Washington and the East Washington
Citizens Associations in park and street
extension matters.
The election Of officers for the ensuing

result: For president. VIM. H. Ernest:

AT HIS OWN EXPENSE.
Contractor to Lay Floor in Manual
Training School Building.

The District Commissioners have decided
to require w. E. Speir, the contractor tor
the Manual Training School, at the corner
of Rhode Island avenue and 7th street, to
lay three-lnch Georgia pine floor In the
carpenter shop, located in the basement,
without extra compensation. The contrac
tor estimates that the work will cost rim
$47S.
The matter has been before the Commits
sioners for some days now and was finally
considered at a board session. Mr.. Speir
referred the question to the Commissioners
with the statement that there was nothing
in the specifications on which he bid to
indicate that wood flooring was expected
in the carpenter shop. On the contrary,
he declared. it was specifically stated that
the floors Of the basement were to be OF
concrete, laid complete by the District.
THE only indication" said Mr.. Speir in
his letter to the Commissioners, "of any
kind or character to denote that wood
moor for the carpenter shop was ever
thought of is note on the basement plan.
1t is a wellknown and accepted fact that
the specification Is the instrument which
governs and guides the builder; he obtains
his Information of what Is wanted from the
specifications and makes his estimates on
what the specifications call for. He cannot
estimate on what the specifications do not
specify, as there would be no limit to what
he might include or what he might say he
included If his bid should be hign. There
Is only one way Of making an Intelligent
estimate on work, and that Is to be govern
ed strictly by what the specifications re-
qulre The amount involved, although not
small item. is small compared to the ques
tion of whether an owner can compel
builder to do work which is not mentioned
or called for by his specifications"
Capt. Chester Harding, assistant to the
Engineer Commissioner recommended that
the contractor be required to provide the
flooring, for the reason that it was spe-
officially called for in writing on the plans
and comes within the following specifica-
tlOn: IAN work indicated In the drawings
and not mentioned in the specifications is
to be furnished and executed the same as
II 1t was called for by both the drawings
and the specifications Continuing, Capt.
Harding said:
There can be no doubt that the plans
and specifications supplement each other
and together describe the work upon which
bids were invited, and prescribe the work
to be done under the contract. The con-
tractor is especially cautioned in the spec
ifcations to examine the drawings and
specifications thoroughly before entering
into a contract for the execution Of the
work and satisfy his mind as to their ac-
curacy and completeness, as he cannot,
after signing the contract, avail himself Of
manifest errors or discrepancies should
such exist. nor fail to make plural and per-
feet any or all parts not fully expressed for

MTEO CONVICT
SEEKS PARDON
THOMAS RILEY, WHO KILLED p.
A. Largely, ASKS FOR
FREEDOM.
Slayer of the Butte Banker Writes to
the State Pardon Board, Giving His
Reasons for Wishing to Be Re-
leased, and Promising to Be
a Model Citizen Hereafter.
Especial to Inter Mountain.)

Helena, Aug. 23.--Thomas j. Riley. who
killed Patrick Largey of Butte. wants
to be free. He has grown weary of prison
life, and promises, if given his liberty
10 De model citizen hereafter.
ne convict has sent long letter to
the. president of the state pardon board
giving the reasons why he thinks he
should be pardoned. He admits that he
MADE mistake when he tried to right
MS wrongs growing out Of the powder
explosion BY taking human life and at
trlputes his action to insanity due to
the suffering resulting from the loss of
MS leg in the powder explosion and be-
ing nit upon the side Of the head bv the
flying missiles.
Tie reiterates the story he told about
Oelng driven to commit the deed through
anger at being told by Mr.. Largely that
II ne did not stop bothering him Largey)
ne would be sent to the penitentiary.
Riley says that when he fired the IA
tai shot he fully intended to turn the
weapon upon himself and end his
troubles, but some strange power pre-
vented him from putting his intentions
into effect. He says that if a deputy
sheriff had not arrested him he intended
to face the mob that gathered about the
bank where the murder was committed
and court death at the hands Of the
crowd.
The prisoner reviews the story Of the
great explosion and the subsequent ef-
forts of the victims to secure Judgment
against the company for damages.
He contends that Judge Clancy was
prejudced against him in granting the
motion of County Attorney Stapleton~ for
change of venue to Lewis and Clarke
county. since more people signed the pro-
test against the change of venue than
signed the petition asking for the change
OF the place Of trial.
He scores z. T. Cason, the attorney
first appointed to defend him, claiming
he got the worst of it by having him.
He has no fault to find with Judge J.
NJ Clements, who defended him,he says,
other than that the latter was new in
the case and was not as familiar as he
might have been with the defense.
He says that Cason, who was supposed
to gather the Witnesses did him injury
in not bringing his best witnesses for
ward. Lack of funds, he says, prevented
his trying to get another trial.
he declares that Judge Smith in SEN
fencing him was prejudiced and alleges
that the judge was prompted to give him
a life sentence because a letter had been
sent to the court from Nebraska, where
Riley formerly lived, to the effect that
Riley's father had murdered a man,
which statement was false.
