SETTLED THE CONTROVERSY
over cleveland BUILDING
Question as to Whether Sandstone or Granite Is
to Be Used Finally Ended by the
Department

WASHINGTON, June 2.-The long
bitter fight over the building material
to be used in the construction of the
100000 public building at Cleveland.
Ohio, was again brought up at the
White house the other day. when Rep
resentative Burton Of that city called
on the chief executive and presented F..
A. Scott. secretary Of the Cleveland
chamber of commerce, and Arnold w.
Drummer. the architect whose plans
were selected for the new building.
The president was informed that public
sentiment in Cleveland undoubtedly de-
mands that the building be constructed
out of granite and not out of sand
stone, as ordered by Secretary Shaw.
Powerful influences were brought to
bear upon the president to have him
order reopening, and 1t is suggested
that this may be done, although Secre-
tary Shaw few days ago telegraphed
Senator Dick that the matter was set
tied and that the case could not be re-
opened In any way and that he had
decided that the building should be
erected of sandstone, as planned for a
long time.
If the case Is reopened 1t will be a
great surprise, as it has been gone over
at different times by the president and
Secretary Shaw and the unalterable de-
cision Of Secretary Shaw has been in
favor of sandstone. A reopening now
might cause a great deal OF trouble and
hard feelings in quarters besides in
Cleveland. and there Is some doubt that
this will be done. although the granite
interests Of Cleveland believe they have
laid facts before the president that will
accomplish their wish. Treasury Of
f1cials are almost as badly divided on
the question as the people Of Cleveland.
The supervising architects Office has
favored granite. SO has other treasury
ofacials. Secretary Shaw being almost
alone for sandstone.
The contest over sandstone or gram
lite has been raging for several years.
The original appropriation was for
sandstone building. Congress later in
creased the appropriation so as to al
low granite to be used II found advis.
able. Bids for the construction Of the
building were called for. the bids to be
for both materials. ana the treasury
department to have the option Of %.
lecting. The Charles Mccall company
Lewiston evening teller. [volume] (Lewiston, Idaho) 1903-1911, 1904-06-02

of Philadelphia were the lowest bidders
for granite building while Bradley &
CO.. Of New York, were the lowest bid
ders for sandstone. Secretary Shaw
personally took charge OF the matter
and finally selected Bradley & Co, and
tentatively decided upon sandstone, an
nouncing that If granite should be de-
cided upon later the contract would 20
to Bradley & Co. 1t was at this juno
ture that the Mccall company wrote a
bitter letter to Secretary Shaw full OF
insinuations as to the letting of the
contract, and Secretary Shaw re-
sponded. The Mccall company declared
that Bradley & Co. were really John
Pierce Of New York who has received
80 many contracts for many Of the pub
lie buildings. They pointed out their
responsibility and the fact that It would
be entirely unfair should the contract
go to Bradley 4 Co. for granite when
their bid was the lowest.
The agitation continued for a Ions
time. involving Senators Hanna and
Foraker. Representatives Burton and
Beidler and many others. These men
were for granite and sandstone In turn
according to the wishes Of their con-
stituents. The sandstone had its
strength In the fact that there are &c
many sandstone quarries around Cleve-
land. and that the owners and labor
people wanted that material used. The
Cleveland chamber of commerce about
week ago decided upon granite, and
Senator Dick sent a telegram to Sec
rotary Shaw asking that the case be
reopened Secretary declined to do 80
saying that the matter had been set
tied and that the building would be
constructed Of sandstone. This has not
deferred the granite advocates from
pressing for reopening. They say
that the treasury option as to the use
of either granite or sandstone holds
open unfit July 1. but Secretary Shaw
stated recently that he had already in
structed the contractors to 90 forward
with sandstone.

II Your Ship Came In.

If your ship came in to-day
If the ship for which you yearn
When the sea at dawn is gray.
When the waves at sunset burn,
If 1t swung to harbor now
With its sails dropped wearywise-
Would the sea not lose, somehow,
Half its glory to your eyes?
II your ship no more should sail
Up and down the distant deeps
Racing with the rushing gale
Where the jade green billow leaps
If II should no longer drift
Where the calm sea stretches blue
And the dim horizons lift
Would the sea seem fair to you?
Ho! Your ship--if It came in
All majestic. full of grace,
And you heard the hawSeT spin
AS the anchor sank to place,
If its voyaging were done
And the cargo all were yours
Would the sea, by moon or sun,
Hold for you its hopes and lures?
II your ship came in to-day
And you knew that all you dreamed
Now at last in harbor lay
All as perfect as IL seemed,
You would envy those who wait
Ready for the joyous hail,
Those who watch with hearts elate
For the flashing Of a sail.
