which would make our highest figures for this system complete S6l97. p, or $82.75 less than their bid. But we contend that there is difference of at least several hundred dollars in our favor as between their proposal and our proposal No. l, as presented to you on June lst.
 Our plans and specifications were complete in detail, specifically speci- flying every item entering into it's con struction, and as they will show, we specified the very best of all kinds of material and labor. We challenged you, after you made this award, to submit Blumve & Jays proposal and our proposal No. l, the same as they had been submitted to you, to any ex- pert heating engineer in the United States that you might name i've only stipulating that he should have good general standing among the profess siOn) and if he did no decide every point, both as to merit of system pro- posed, and price in our favor, we would pay all expenses.
 As this matter is so plain in our judgment, we will not require an ex- pert, but would be willing to submit it to any three fair-minded men in the territory, or to the public, and to show our good faith we shall place all the papers for our proposal No. l just as we presented them to you in some place in the town of Flagstaff where any person who desires may see them. We shall also place by the side of them certified copy of all the papers as made by and between your- selves and the Blumve & Jay com pany, up to and including June 2rd. You Mir. Chairman told the writer you had verbal plan of the boiler and coal house, and you, Mir. Secre- tary, told me you had a verbal plan of the heating apparatus. If these plans floating around the country in the heads of public officials can be placed along side of ours for inspec- tion we would be highly pleased to have them.
 Your actions after proposals were opened on June 1st were self evident to us that your minds had been made up before proposals and bids were opened. You did not even read the letter which we enclosed in our sealed envelope with our proposals, nor one

He did not specify what kind, size or character of boiler he proposed to use, except it was to be a sectional boiler. He told you verbally, after the bids were opened, that the capacity of the boiler would be $500 it. This was 45O 1t. less capacity than the one we speci- fled in our proposal No. l.
 In the "contract" you have changed the boiler to boiler of Tubular pattern, without even stating what size, shape or character it will be. He did not specify what amount of radia- tion he would use, and not word about what kind, shape style, or char acter of radiators he proposed to use. Radiators, as everybody knows, are a leading item of expense in heating system.
 He did not specify the following items: Kind or thickness of iron used in smokestack, size of expansion tank, kind or character of valves used, nor whether the fittings would be cast iron or malleable, thickness of cOver- ing on boiler, kind or character of floor, ceiling and partition plates. He specified one altitude guage where we specified two. He specified paint for radiators and exposed pipes where we specified ''paint and bronze"
 He specified he would give cold weather test, if desired, and your con- tract, as drawn by you states he will give a successful cold weather test, sat- isfactory to you. Our specifications as to our guarantee were specific. We guaranteed to heat the building to 70 degrees F. above zero on the inside when the temperature on the outside was 20 degrees F. below zero with 8 temperature at the boiler not exceed ing POO degrees F. As Blumve & Joy company did not have any plans of any description (Mr. Blumve told MT. Friedlein and myself personally while you were in executive session consid- ering proposals, that he would not make plans until he was awarded the contract), therefore we are not able to judge of his pipe system, but we yer balIy understood that 1t was to be an 'overhead system, similar to our proposal No. which we recommended.
 His bid which you accepted was 96280. %, and ours was $5889.30 with additions which we recommended and stated in our proposal of s227.95,
The Coconino sun., 1903-06-27

half of our specifications, etc. Your glances over our plans were nasty. Your actions were, to say the least discourteous in this respect.
 Had we gone to member Grim and talked this matter over, as we had been requested and advised to do by you, Mir. Secretary, on at least two different occasions before June 1st, the awarding of this contract might have terminated differently, but we decided that we had a proposition to present to you that would stand on it's own merits, and that it would be the proper time to talk matters over after proposal and bids were presented to you by all parties, when they could be discussed on their true merits. After you had made this award you practi- cally decided to draw and sign con- tract the next day, but after we had asked the simple question Ion what grounds merit of system" or "price" do you make this award", you showed considerable haste, and we suppose, in the language used by Mir. Blumve you did not propose to let any grass grow under your feet until matters were closed, and proceeded to secure an att torney to sit up with you at night, and by very near midnight oil. signed this contract which would prove cusios- ity in the curiO corner of any Build- ing Exchange in the country.
 Your reasons for making this award as you have done are not apparent to us, unless it is, as the writer informed you personally, Mrs Chairman. Your proposal made verbally through your Secretary to the writer on the morning of June 2nd, 1903, regarding the making of plans and for other work to be done at the school, is here- by rejected.
 Respectfully,
 A. w. BURDEN

 Gentlemen
 desire to call your attention to 8 few facts in connection with the award ing of contract for installing hot water apparatus in the Normal School building, and erecting of a boiler and coal house for same, as made by you on June lst, 1903 with Blumve & Jay Company, of Los Angeles, Calif.
 Mir. Blumve who was here represent ing the above company, did not have his certified check with his proposal and bid at the time bids were called for, nor when his proposal was hand ed to the Secretary. He did not have any plans of either the Hot Water system or boiler and coal house, and no specifications of any description of the boiler and coal building. (Certi- fed check, plans and specifications were called for in your advertisement
 His specifications of the hot water apparatus were very crude and indif- ferent in nearly every respect, and es- pecially so to the main items of cost

Collision Narrowly Averted.

New York Quarantine, Aug. H.
Yesterday afternoon the Hamburg
American line steamer Nubia from China
and Japan had narrow escape from
collision with the great transatlantic racer
Kronprinz Wilhelm. The Nubia had
anchored in the dense fog about eight
miles east of Sandy Hook lightship,
when an immense steamer doomed up in
the fog blowing .hoarse blasts and a
collision was imminent. Almost in
stantly the approaching stranger appears
ed to see the Nubia, gave sharp sheer
to port, and passed close under the stern
of the anchored vessel. The passing
craft was the Kronprinz Wilhelm, going
at full speed, eastward bound from New
York for Bremen.

A Chicago Tragedy.

Chicago, Aug. 12.-Shortly after
uttering a pathetic plea for few more
hours of life, that she might see her
aged mother before she died, Marie
Gordon succumbed to self inflicted bullet
wounds at midnight, last night, at the
Auditorium Hotel. The mother is ex-
pected to reach this city this morning.
Her races with death from Murfreesboro,
Tenn, to her daughters side, will end
in disappointment. Marie Gordon's
death is the sequel of the shooting of the
negro porter Saturday night, for which
W. R. Lyle, Marie Gordon'5 brother,
is now under arrest in Montgomery,
Ala, be having gone there after the
trouble last Saturday evening. The
brother and sister, the police assert, were
in the "Red Light district searching
for the faithless sweetheart of the woman
who had shot herself in her room in
the Auditorium.
Montgomery, Ala. Aug. 12.-Wil-
liam r. Lytle, wanted in Chicago for
assault with intent to kill, was refused
his release on habeas corpus proceedings

Goat Violates Revenue Law.

Memphis, Tenn, Aug. ia rapa-
cious goat succumbed today after eating
a few harmless looking revenue stamps.
There is mourning in the saloon Of J. j.
Mckinley, for the animal not only was
a family pet, but in its last moments be-
came worth several hundreds Of dollars.
Upon its testimony hangs the fate of its
owner as regards heavy fine. All this
was caused, SO Mckinley declares, when
the goat chewed the stamps off five full
barrels Of whisky. Not half an hour
later, an inspector hove in sight. There
we're no stamps, and Mckinley was open
to severe punishment and financial loss.
The inspector secuted the goat story.
The saloon man offered to have the pet
killed in order to examine the stomach,
and prove his assertion. The goat has
been sacrificed and expert chemists have
the stomach for a thorough examination.

Archbishop Farley.

New York, Aug. 12.-Archbishop
John NJ. Farley, head of the Catholic
province of New York, was invested
with the pallium, the papal insignia of
his Office at the hands of Mgr. Falconio,
apostolic delegate to the United States,
at st. Patrick's cathedral today. The
ceremony is one of the distinctive honors
of the church. The archbishop, &C.
companied by his attendants and clergy,
went in solemn procession to the main
entrance of the cathedral Here the
doors were opened by the vicar general
who, with another procession of priests,
met the archbishop and received him ss
the new ruler of the diocese Of New
York.
The procession moved to the high
altar where the archbishop knelt few
minutes. Descending he advanced to
the episcopal throne. The clergy knelt
at his feet, and kissed his hand in token
of obedience to their spiritual ruler. The
pallium was brought in and laid upon
the altar. The archbishop took off his
gloves, laid aside the mitre and crozier,
and kneeling at the feet of the delegate,
repeated the oath of fealty to the sover-
eign pontiff.
Mgr Falconio then placed the pallium
over the archbishop's head and on his
shoulders pinning it on the left side and
in the breast and back. Prayer followed,
and when this was completed, both pre-
lates arose, the officiating dignitary re-
firing to the gospel side of the altar, and
the new archbishop advancing to the
centre of the altar. Next, the arch
episcopal cross, with its double arms was
brought into the centre of the
choir and the image Of the crucified
turned to the new archbishop, who,
saluting the Christ, intoned the "Sit
Nomen Domini Benedictum," and ad-
ministered to his priests and people his
first blessing as metropolitan" A
grand "to deum" brought the ceremonial
to finish. Congratulatory addresses t.
the Archbishop were made by Rev. james
H. Mclean on behalf OF the clergy anC
by Justice Morgan J. o. Brien in behal
of the laity, to which the archbishop re
sponded.

WIFES ADMIRERS ANNOY THE
HUSBAND.

Accused of kidnapping the young son
of James Hutchins, of Portsmouth, Va,
Edwin S. Walk, a salesman living at the
Ros.more Hotel, in New York, is now
under 81, bonds for appearance on
Friday, when he will be examined. The
complainant against Walk is Mr.. Hutch
ms himself, the boys father. Both
Hutchins and his wife came from promi-
nent southern families, and their married
life has been sensational, the husband
having once shot man who was paying
attention to Mrs. Hutchins. The pres
ent trouble, according to Mrs. Carhart, a
sister of Mrs. Hutchins, came about
through Walks attention to Mrs. Hutch
ms. A quarrel occurred about week
ago, and Mrs. Hutchins left her sisters
home. Mrs. Oarhart telegraphed for the
husband, and he came to New York.
The arrest Of Walk followed. Hutchins
and his wife were married about / years
ago. AT the time he was l6 and she
was Is years old. According to Mrs.
Carhart, the couple frequently quarreled.
Mrs. Carhart says that when the spanish
American war started Hutchins enlisted
with the Portsmouth Rifles and went to
Cuba. On his return he learned that his
wife had been talking and walking with
man named Robert Shaw. He was
jealous, and one night about three years
ago, Mrs. Carhart says, Hutchins found
his wife on the porch of their home talk
ing to Shaw. Hutchins drew a pistol
and shot Shaw dead. Shaw had been
employed as clerk in the Office of the
Seaboard Air Line at Portsmouth and
was well connected. Hutehins was ar
rested and tried and convicted and sent
enced to serve one year in the peniten-
tiary. He was pardoned by Governor
Tyler, of Virginia, on the recommends
ton of the jury that convicted him. After
he left the penitentiary Hntchins sent his
wife to New York to live with Mrs. Car
hart. The latter says that several months
ago Mrs. Hutchins met Walk. He paid
her great ofdeal attention, she says, and
took her out to places of amusement.
About week ago the sisters quarreled over
Walk, and Mrs. Hutchins left her sister,
taking her 12-year-old boy Edmund with
her. Mrs. Carhart immediately telegraph
ed for Hutchins, and he came to New
York. He went with Mrs. Carhart to
the West Forty-seyenth Street Station
and Hutchins accused Walk of kidnap-
ping his boy.
