No Specific Accusations Against Any

up by the committee of the Board Of

inquiry will be concluded as quickly as
possible. The case will then be sub

Commissioners in the early winter \
series of anonymous communications
management of the institution with
nearly very conceivable offense OF a mi
nor nature. The inquiry was also based
on the escape of several prisoners from
the workhouse at different times. While
no specific charge against the heads of
the institution was brought, the Com
missioners wished to know whether or
not the management was lax.
When the coal strike commission met
the investigation was discontinued on
account of the appointment of Prof.
Charles P. Neil. chairman of the com

THE LITTLE BLACK DOTS
HAVE SCORES GUESSING
Great Interest Being Shown in The
Times Contest.

More people were kept up late by the
Times dot-guessing contest last evening
than by the last national election, If all
the stories that are coming in to the
office are true The contest excited I'M
precedent interest Immediately upon the
appearance of the dots, and hundreds at
once set to work counting OF estimating
The number of little black spots.
The guesses will not all be turned
in today or tomorrow, but will continue
TO arrive until the contest closes. for
people who have already turned In
guesses are finding upon later counts
that their figures do not agree. so second.
third. and fourth guesses are handed in.
One of the best things about this very
popular contest is that no guesser loses
anything One is not out of pocket if
no prize is received, and with the ever
present chance that the first guessers
sacrificed accuracy to haste, there is
hope for all the latecomers
To show how some of the first guesses
were not greatly depended upon by those
who filed them, the case of one man
may be cited. He brought in his first
guess Friday and declared there could
be no mistake about his figures After
going home, he counted the dots again
and came TO different conclusion, so
came back to the Office yesterday aid
filed a second guess. Probably tomor-
row he will be in with his third count.
Three members OF one family have sent
in guesses. all different, one being near
ly 100 less than that of another All
this, of course, proves that the first
ones may be far from the right number
and that the correct figures may not yet
have been turned in.
The figures thus far range from 1000
to 100000. the latter being a bona fide
guess, turned in yesterday, with the nee
essary cash.

ARCHITECTS AGREE
TO REDUCTION OF FEE
Contract Relating to Munic-
ipal Building.
EFFECTS SAVING OF $4,000
Captain Harding to Supervise Construc-
tion-Bids for Proposals Soon to
Be Given Out.

y wrong impression has been given
in the newspapers with reference to the
nature of the contract signed yesterday
between Acting Secretary of the Treas
.ury Taylor and Cope & Stewartson, ar
chitects of the proposed municipal build
ing. The contract signed was an agree
ment with reference to the payment of
the architects. and had no reference 10
the plans Of the building.
Under the usual rule the architects
would receive as compensation per
cent of the cost of the building The
commission having charge of the build
ing desired, however. to have District
man supervise the construction, and
Capt. Chester Harding was appointed to
that duty.
In lieu of per cent the architects
have agreed to take as compensation for
the plans 31A per cent of the cost OF the
building. and the agreement further
day and expenses whenever it is neces-
sary for one of the firm to come to Wash
ington for consultation.
Congress appropriated $4,000, 900 for the
purchase Of the site and the construction
of the municipal building. The site cost
$3.50. eco; plans and supervision of con-
.struction Will cost in the eneighborhood
of $4,000, and the balance will be spent
upon the building.
The test of the foundations of the old
powerhouse shows that they can be used
for the new structure, and considerable
expense in the way of preparing the site
for the building will thus be saved
II is understood that the advertise
ment for contracts for the building will
be given out in short time. as the ar
chitects now have the interior plans
well advanced.
