WILL BE CUT DOWN.
Amount of Pavement This Year VIII
Be Limited.

Judge Frank Doster has been en-
ployed by the city council to advise
upon the legality of the paving petit
tions which were passed upon by the
council. The petitions represent 33
blocks of brick paving bids for which
were submitted to the council Monday
evening. There Is some question as to
whether the petitions allow sufficient
competition.
F. G. Dreaming, city attorney. will
also present a written opinion These
opinions will be available for the cOun-
ell next Wednesday.
The council meeting which is to be
held this evening will adjourn without
taking action until next Thursday. At
that time the question whether entire
~ new petitions will be asked for or
whether the present petitions will be
deemed eduable will be decided.
In either event the paving will be
cut down and not more than 100000
to $4,000 allowed instead of the $685.
600 as the first schedule arranged.
An interesting section of the su-
preme court decision quoting the SUI

this subject follows:
''The object of the statute is to keep
prices down to reasonable rates and
when this is taken into account It is
clear that It was the intention OF the
legislature that bidders should be I'M

materials; that bidders should be al
lowed to buy where they can buy

100000 FOR CAP.
Gaines of Tennessee Thinks the Presi-
dent Should Have Private One.

Washington. March 23.-An echo Of
the statehood controversy of yesterday
resulted in an effort to correct the
journal when the house met today.
Mr. Williams maintained he was put
in the ridiculous position of moving to
instruct the conferees after they had
been appointed, a motion clearly OUT
of order at that time. The correction
was made as suggested.
The legislative bill was then taken
up. Mr.. Gaines CTenn.) offered an
amendment providing 100000 for a
private car for the president
1t made no difference whether the
president was on an official trip or on
q bear hunt Mr.. Gaines suggested, he
ought to be made comfortable. A
point of order by Mr.. Litteaur was
fatal to the proposition; although he
realized its probable necessity
Mr.. Babcock CWis.) asked Mr.. Lit
teaur if he did not think it wise for
this congress to provide a private car
for the president. It might was the
answer. But If so it ought to be prop
erly considered
A point of order by Mr.. Prince (Ill)
was fatal to the proposed increase of
three examiners and SIX clerks for the
civil service commission
The testimony of Mr. Wallace, late OF
the Panama canal commission on the
fnefficiency of the civil service en-
pIoyes was read to the house by Mr..
Cooper (Wis.) who commented on the
worth essness of the testimony and
then defended the civil service.
Six clerks in the field force Of the
civil service commission. being the
proposed increases, went out of the
bill on a point oe order by A1r. Prince.

SHIPPERS ON THE Rack
Commerce Commission Looking Into
Charges of Undertaking..

New York, March 28.-The inter
state commerce commission began an
important hearing here today on the
reported undertaking and misrepre-
sentatiOn of freight by shippers in
eNw York and other eastern points
This investigation was undertaken
by the commerce commission on in
formation furnished by the railroads
to the effect that they were being de-
frauded out Of great sums OF money
through the underbilMng by shippers
of all classes Of freight The witnesses
whose testimony will be taken here
viii be the inspectors who have ex-
amined the shipments and discovered
the frauds. AS a result of their testi-
mony criminal prosecutions may be
Instituted, or an injunction may be
asked for under the Elkins act. The
shippers it is said, will not be cited
before the commission as It is thought
that under the decision of Judge Hum
phrey in the beef packers" case in
Chicago they might claim immunity in
the future actions resulting from the
hearings.
After the hearing in this city it is
probable that the commission will con
unue the investigation in Chicago.

Balm FALLS TODAY.
Weather Is About as Disagreeable as
1t Could Be.

The conditions of today have justified
the predictions Of the weather depart
ment made yesterday. that there would
be rain Quite early this morning there
was a slight shower and there has been
more or less moisture falling continual
~ ever since then though at no time
has it been severe enough to justify thr
appellation of rain. The temperature
has been such that the moisture has
CONCEALED as it has fallen and the
streets and walks are as smooth as
glass.
The forecast for today and tomorrow
indicates that the same disagTeeable
conditions win prevail for the next
twenty-four hours at least although
there viii probably be a slight rise in
the temperature. The mercury has
been in a rather dormant state today
and has not varied a degree since ten
o'clock.
The wind is from the east and IS
travelling at the rate of twenty miles II
hour and the precipitation so far today
is recorded at the weather department
as a trace.
The hourly temperatures for the day
