NOTHING IN THE CHARGES.
Printing Board Members Object to At
titude Of CheItenham Press.


titude Of Cheltenham Press.
Representatives of the Cheltenham Press,
one of the firms that bid on part of the
State printing, have charged the State
Printing Board with the unfair letting of
bids. The Cheltenham Press has been seek
ing to have the board delay its awarding of
contracts, but the board announced that
the contracts for both the general printing
and the publishing Of the reports Of the
Supreme and Appellate Courts had been let
to the William B. Burford Company. The
Cheltenham Press charged that there was
collision among the other firms, that the
State Is not getting the benefit Of open
competition. and that it is paying higher
prices for the work than is necessary
AT the meeting of the Printing Board
Saturday two representatives of the Chel-
tenham Press were present and stated their
charges, which caused some heated contro-
versies. Members of the board. it is said.
grew angry at the reflection cast upon the
Printing Board and objected to the charges
of the representatives. Mr.. Rappaport, the
attorney for the Cheltenham Press, said he
| objected as a citizen and taxpayer. as
| well as counsel of the firm. The board
| offered to let Mr. Rappaport look over the
bids in the meeting, but this he refused to
| do saying it would take too long. He
brought the attention of the board to the
increase in the number of bids for the con-
| tract, and said that if the awarding was
postponed he would show further evidence
of unfair bidding.
The prices submitted this year, it is said,
are higher than two years ago, but the
increase in the amount of work accounts
| for the higher prices to some extent. Two
years ago the Burford Company submitted,
as it's figures on the general printing, $751;
| 142.l2; this year the cost of the general
printing will be $136,053.S7, an increase of
more than 65 per cent. The bids submitted
on the work of the court records also show
| a large increase.
Governor Durbin and State Auditor Sher-
rick Of the Printing Board, say the charges
of the Cheltenham Press are absurd. Gov
ernor Durbin said that the firm should have
made its complaint on the day the contracts
| were let and that even now they had been
given the opportunity to go over the esti-
| mates, If they cared to. Mr.. Sherrick also
| said there was nothing In the charge Of the
Cheltenham Press, and that it had been
| treated fairly by the Printing Board. Both
| say they gave the firm chance to file a
| formal protest against final action, and If it
| had been done the awarding would have
been postponed until the charge of collu-
| sion was Investigated. The Printing Board
| declared that the bid of the Burford Com
| pany was $1,000 less in the general contract
| than the nearest bidder They say the
| increase over former years is due to the
| higher cost of labor.
The Cheltenham Press recently moved to
Indianapolis from; Philadelphia, and are
| publishers of the Transfers and Carpen-
| ters international journals.

WELL FILLS WITH OIL.
Retards the Work of the DrilIers I'm a
jay County Well.

Special to the Indianapolis Journal
PORTLAND, Ind. Nov. 9.-Drillers in the
employ of the Colonel Drake Oil Company
have been having tedious time in COM
pleting well on the John Remaklus farm in

count of the strong tendency of the we'll

Milking n Trade.

New York Sun.
A big dairy farmer in Delaware county
was talking last week about a Polish farm
hand who had been in this country three
months and had proved himself to be far

kind Of work on the farm. The farmer
had hired the man for year from Sept /.

Milking Is the most particular and inn or

Many American farmers seem to think
that almost anybody can milk but our
dairymen are beginning to learn better We
are learning that superior mixer is to be
appreciated as much as superior COW; and
ii is more difficult 10 replace the mixer
than the cow. To suit me a mixer must be
clean or the milk will not be clean. and he
must be quiet and gentle, for any disturb
