RECEIVE BIDS ON
-FOUR NEW SCHOOLS
BOARD TO AWARD CONTRACTS
June Fl
Figures Submitted Somewhat In Ex-
cess of Estimates Furnished by
Commlttee-Advance In Ma
terial Ascribed as Cause

Bids on four new school structures
were opened by the building committee
OF the city board of education yester-
day afternoon and the contracts prob
ably will be awarded at the meeting of
the board called for June 81. The build
ings under consideration are as fol-
lows:
Eleven-room building at Magnolia
avenue and seventeenth street.
Eight-room building on the Harvard
boulevard site.
Eight-room building at the corner Of
Logan and Montana streets.
Eight-room annex to the Main street
school.
There was quite a wide difference be-
tween the highest and lowest bids on
each school, and the total for the four
lowest, $97647, Is somewhat in excess
of the estimates made by the building
committee. These estimates were made
about a year ago, however, and the diff
ference is largely accounted for by the
advance in all kinds of building mate
rial since then. The bids on the build
igns named were as follows:

Taken Under Advisement
The two lowest bids in each case
were taken under advisement by the
members of the building committee,
and certified checks which accompan-
led the others were returned. The spe-
cifications called for certified check
for ten per cent of the proposed con-
tract price to accompany each bid, and
in the award of the contract. Dawson
whose bid was the lowest, sent in a
check which was slightly below the ten
per cent requirement, and Kronnick,
the next lowest bidder, showed a dispo-
sition to question the right of the board
to consider the bid under those circum-
stances Dawson, however, had bid
on two other buildings, and was willing
that the three checks be held by the
board until the final award was made.
The building committee announced it
would consider this point before TAX
ing final action.

LAWYERS WEAVE
NET OF EVIDENCE
SPRING MANY SENSATIONS IN
LIE D0UX CASE
Prosecution Introduces Evidence to
Show That Woman Accused of
Murder Told Conflicting Stories
Following Tragedy
BY Associated Press.

BY Associated Press.
STOCKTON, June 15.-This was a
sensation day in the lie Doux murder
trial. Under a battery fire of over
ruled objections the prosecution today
is putting on testimony in contradiction
of the statements made by the accused
to the officers after her arrest.
At that time she declared that one
Joe Miller had witnessed the death of
McVicar and had put his body in the
trunk.
When the prosecution sought to show
that there had been no such man as
Joe Miller. the defense objected on the
ground that the prosecution had al
ready proven by the alleged confession
of the defendant that Joe Miller had
committed the crime, and that any at
tempt to show to the contrary was an
attempt on the part of the prosecution
to contradict is own evidence. Judge
Nutter overruled the objection.
HeaIy Takes Stand
Joseph Healy, with whom the defend
ant spent all of the day following the
murder, in San Francisco testified that
she had told him that McVicar had
died of miners consumption at his
home in Sonora; that his brother was
present and had given her the de-
ceased watch ana chaln ana that the
body had been shipped to his home in
Cripple Creek, Colo.
She also, according to Healy, told
him that there was trunk and a suit
case at the Southern Pacific passenger
station in Stockton which she wanted
him to take care of, saying that she
could trust nobody else as she could
him.
Healy gave his testimony with dra-
matte effect, and it caused quite SEN
sation in court. Much of his testimony
tended to show that Joe Miller was a
myth.
A telegram from Mrs. LIE Doux to
Healy on the afternoon of the 24th-the
day of the crime, in which she asked
him to meet her at the Royal house in
San Francisco upon the arrival of the
afternoon train from Stockton, was
shown.

SAN FRANCISCO, June 15.-Gov.
Pardee has taken the stand that it will
be impossible for the state to remuner-

In the hope of inducing the governor
to provide some way for the payment
of claims presented by the San Fran

committee, DR.. f. C. Smith, one of the
claimants, appealed to the states chief
executive by letter.
In his reply the governor pays a high
