COMMISSION FORMALLY
 REJECTS SEWER BIDS

At 8 meeting of the board of revenue held last night in the office of City En- gineer Julian Kendriek a resolution. in- troduced by Mir. E. J. smyer, was passed rejecting all bids for the trunk sewer work which were opened some weeks ago. Another resolution was passed putting the question of advertising for more bids into the hands of the construction com mittee.
 The reason for the boards action in passing this resolution was the lack of competition in the bids, and the open statement of the contractors that they had formed a combination because none were able to take a contract for the full amount of work. The contracting com panies whose bids were the lowest, but thrown out by last nights resolution were the Donelson Construction Company, c.

NJ DISORDER YET IN MINERS STRIKE Comparatively Few Changes Among the Men Yesterdag MEN MARCH THROUGH TOWN Companies Have a Reserve Force In Readiness to Take the Place of
 Any Man Who Quits
 Work.
MEN MARCH THROUGH TOWN

Wflkesbarre, Pa, June 3--The situa- ton in the Wyoming region today as Tar as 1t relates to the engineers, firennen and pump runners and the mine workers gen erally shows no change from that of yes terday Peace reigns throughout this val ley and all the collieries that had not vol untarily closed down their pumps dur ing the last ten days continue to keep their mines free of water.
 There were a few changes among the men at starting this morning, which were generally in favor of the strikers. Some of the companies, however, have reserve force in readiness to take the place of any man who quits work.
 Several collieries are said to be work ing short handed and If many more men leave their posts the operators will be compelled to shut down their plants and the mines will then be flooded.
 Reports are constantly coming In from the surrounding region of petty violence perpetrated, principally by boys, but no one has as yet been seriously hurt. At Miners Mills, a short distance north of here, there was a gathering of strikers headed by 6 fife tnd drum corps last night and this morning, but the men did nothing but march around the town They kept away from the collieries, which are protected by several coal and iron police.
 President Mitchell Talks.
 President Mitchell tonight gave out the following statement:
 .sDetaiIed reports from lll quarters of the anthracite field indicate that the number of engineers. hremen ana pump men who ceased work yesterday, was considerably increased today and the bsI sugmcntt d tomorrow
 There has been no violation or the law on the part of the strikers ana our predictions made last week that the milne workers would be law-abiding, have been more than verified by the events Of yes terday and today.
 'aThe coal strike is remarkable in many respects. Were 1t not for the fact that the coal companies have a eritable army of private guards and coal and iron po- lice employed, there would be no ex- terior evidence that a great industrtal contest was being waged.
 "We gre sure that the splendid conduct of the men and boys who were engaged in this great silent and passive struggle for at least a small share of our country's prosperity must commend itself to all well-disposed persons"
 There were number of minor collisions today between strikers and non-union men.

ure. MT. Ray. New York. chairman of the judiciary committee, argued that the senate bill was unconstitutional.
 MT. Lanham, Texas, supported the feature of the bill to exclude anarchists but opposed that making 1t a particular offense to kill the president or anyone in the line of presidential succession. He argued that every man was equal before the law and that existing laws were am pie to punish the killing or attempted killing of the president
 MT. Ray. New York, explained the diff ference between the senate bill and the house substitute. The purpose of the house bill was to protect the president, vice president and those in the line of the presidential succession and also to prevent the entry into the United States or the naturalization of persons who preach anarchy or forcible destruction of government. The imperative reason for the passage of the bill was the non uni- formity of state laws for the punishment of homicide. The senate bill. MT Ray contended. was unconstitutional because 1t provided the death penalty for the killing of the president, the vice president and the cabinet officers in line of sue cession without regard to whether at the time they were engaged in the perform ance of their official duties.
 Lanham Opposes the Bill.
 Mir. Lanham of Texas approved that portion of the bill designed to prevent and discourage the coming into the United States of all persons who oppose govern ment and seek its subversion. But he said he could not give his assent to the pas sage of a bill that singled out any partic- ular citizen and made 1t a special offense to take his life. He denied that one honest law-abiding mans life was more sacred than another's; the laws against murder in the several states, he argued were ample for protection of all. Besides he doubted whether such a law as was pro- posed to be passed would tend to the pro- tection of the Presidents life. To violate such a law might all the more magnify the importance of the deed in the dis tempered fancy of some anarchist.
 MT. Lanham wanted to know wify for eign ambassadors and ministers had been singled out for such protection and the speaker omitted. He regarded the speaker as more important than the Vice Presi- dent or a cabinet officer
 If I were President of the United States" said MT. Lanham. T would rather not have this bill on the statute books. I would regard IL ns a special in- vitation to some crank to slay me when ever he found me-"
 Mir. Lanham was listened to with close attention by the House.

Monkeys are not classed as savage
