PIPE CONTRACT IS
NOT SUSPICIOUS
WATER SUPERINTENDENT AP-
PROVES OF AWARD
Great Pumping Plant in Sixth Ward
Is Nearing compIetion-GaIler-
les viii Prevent Delivery
Of Muddy Water

A report reached the city hall yes
terday to the effect that contract
recently awarded ]. b. Hooker &
Co. by the water board was in
reality awarded to the Baker Iron
Works. of which Water Commissioner
Fred Baker is president. The rumor
was an ugly one IL true, as 1t would
place Commissioner Baker in the atti-
tude of voting for a contract in which
he was personally interested.
Superintendent Mulholland was
asked about the transaction and he
said that as he understood 1t Commits
sioner Baker was in no way inter-
ested i'm the deal
y. D. Hooper & Co. sold their
shop to the Baker Iron Works some
years ago." said Mr.. Mulholland, land
later Hooker became dissatisfied with
the arrangement and bought the shop
back again from the Baker Iron Works
people.
"As I understand it Commissioner
Baker now has nothing whatever to
do with the business of Hooker &
Co.
Three bids we're submitted for the
pipe contract, that of Hooker & Co.
being the lowest. Their bid was az
the rate of eighty cents foot. The
bid of the Lacy Manufacturing COM
pany was at the rate of eighty-one
cents a foot. The bid of the Llewellyn
Iron Works was ninety cents foot
MY own estimate on the pipe was
ninety cents a foot. 1 do not see how
anybody can supply it for less, but
that is the business of the contractor.
The people who sell the pipe here are
merely agents for eastern manufacture
ers. The contract amounts to 1925
feet of pipe of the value of SIS, 7S0.S0.
Mr.. Mulholland said the affairs of
the department are in excellent shape.
Good progress is being made with the
construction of a large pumping plant
in the Sixth ward. This plant will be
of summer.
The water superintendent also said
after this winter no muddy water
would be delivered to consumers. Next
autumn great system of galleries
will be completed and all the water
used in the city will be filtered through
gravel before it is turned into the
pipes.

HINDOO SEER PRODUCES
MONEY MYSTERI0USlY
Searched Before Being Put in Cell
He Has Plenty of Funds
in Court

F. Rubel, the Hindoo fortune teller.
in the city Jail on charge of attempt
ing to kill Harry Clements, another
fortune teller, caused a sensation In
Justice Austin's court yesterday morn
ing by producing two $50 bills from
his pocket and asking that ex-Gover-
nor Gage be sent for as his attorney.
The Hindoos have been accredited
with supernatural powers, but Rubel is
the first of his race who has been able
to produce good American greenbacks
whenever he wished them.
Prior to placing the Hindoo in his
cell, following the shooting, detectives
searched the man and took everything
from him, yet when he desired an at
torney, Rubel produced the money.
The officers are still wondering where
the money was obtained.
