To a good-lookfng woman prisoner life is made very easy and agreeable. It is the same with 8 man who has money to bribe officials. A young criminal of a family of influence committed for murder has it changed into a political offense and enjoys the privileges grant ed this class of offenders. A Russian officer of rank was sent to Sakhalin for selling military secrets to a foreign power. He was put in charge of con- fidential papers relating to the adminis- tration if the island. M. Labbe had barely arrived at Sakhalin when this officer came and offered to sell him copies of these documents.
 It may be asked why are all these things, these injustices and cruelties, possible? There are supposed to be in- spectors sent from St. Petersburg to remedy these evils. They are sent, but no sooner do they arrive than they dis appear with mysterious promptness. There is a governor of the island He is full of good intentions but his term of office is so brief that he is little bet ter than visiting stranger. He sees only what he is permitted to see. In fact, he learns less than a visitor. Off, ficials avoid meeting him everything is hidden that can be concealed. An honest official does not dare speak. One who instituted inquiries in regard to the great sums of money that his subordinates with modest salaries were wagering at cards was immediately dismissed from office. A convict said to M. Labbe that what he was relating seemed to frighten him. What would be the effect upon his auditor if he told the full truth? Yet, notwithstand-

WRIT SECURED
IN MILLTOWN
BRIDGE CASE
Charles 4. Bloomfield Succeeds
in Stopping All Progress
on the Structure.
WILL Be SERVED TODAY
Affidavit Sets Forth that Con-
tract Was Not Awarded
to Lowest Bidder.
Special to the Evening News.


NEW BRUNSWICK, Aug. 49,
A writ of certiorari was obtained yes
terday by Lawyer Willard P. Voor-
hees on behalf of Charles A. Bloom
field carrying up the matter of the
Milltown bridge contract made by
the Board of Freeholders with the
Dean, Schweirs & Sutton Company,
up to-the supreme court for review
The writ was issued by Justice Fort
and is returnable before the supreme
court August 81.
Lawyer Willard p Voorhees, eX-
pected to serve the writ today upon
Solicitor H. B. Willis of the Board
of Freeholders and if he would not
acknowledge the lawyer will serve
the writ upon Asbury Fountain as
director of the board. The writ
holds up the contract pending the
decision of the court as to it's be-
ing regular.
The affidavit of Mr.. Bloomfield up
on which the application was made
sets forth that the contract was not
awarded to the lowest bidder, the
Virginia Bridge Company, who Of
fered to do the work for $500, but
to Dean, Schweirs, Sutton & Com
pany whose bid was $S,923.
1t declares that the Dean, Schweirs
Sutton & Company made two bids
for the work, one on the plans of the
freeholders and the other on the
plan submitted by themselves and
upon which no other firm bid. This
was the plan the board accepted.
Mr.. Bloomfield alleges that this bid
ding was irregular in<that the bid
ding was limited to this one firm on
the plan of bridge accepted and he
also declares in his affidavit that the
plans were changed after the bid was
accepted and the contract made, the
change adding an expense of 500
to the contract price.
Because of these Irregularities he
urges a review of the matter by the
higher court.

j. C. ROSSI AT
ODDS WITH Mr..
BLOOM FIELD.
General Superintendent Of the
National FireprOOfing CON-
pany Makes Statement.
INDIVIDUAL CAMPAIGN.
Mr.. ROssi Declares He Had no
knowledge Of What Mr.. Bloom
fields Letter Contained.

The stand taken by Charles A.
Bloomfield in his controversy with
the Board of Freeholders in the mat.
ter of the spans for the Amboy bridge
appears, in the light of remarks made
by other manufacturers, to be more
of an individual campaign than one
sanctioned by the manufacturers
along the Raritan river above the
bridge, whom Mr.. Bloomfield claims
to represent.
Mr.. Bloomfield in taking the stand
which he has, has not had the CO..
operation or approval of James c.
Rossi, general superintendent If the
National Fireproofing Companys
plants in this section.
Mr.. Rossi so declared himself this
morning. He said that he viii be
better able later to give out a def
mite statement when he receives an
answer from the officials of his COM
pany to whom he wrote yesterday
in regard to the matter.
Mr.. Rossi said that he did not
know the contents of the paper to be
read by Mr. Bloomfield until he heard
it read at the Freeholders' meeting
Wednesday.
Mr. Rossi said he could not speak
for the Isaaes or Penfield interests,
but their views are tacitly under
stood to coincide with those express
sed by him.
From these facts it would appear
that the manufacturers, in the
term it has been used by Mr.. Bloom
field, means only Mr.. Bloomfield,
chairman" of the manufacturers,
and Mr.. Podmore, the Secretary"
