B|DDER'S ERROR
DELAYS SCHOOLS
BOARD DOES NOT FORFEIT
BUILDERS DEPOSIT
Hereafter, However, Contractors Must
Suffer Consequences Of Careless
ness-Lumber Scarcity
Factor Also

Owing to the carelessness of one of
the bidders considerable delay in the
construction of the four-room addition
to the Seventh street school has been
occasioned.
Bids for this addition were opened
by the building committee of the city
board Of education last Monday and
the full house met yesterday for the
purpose of awarding the contract.
1t was found, however, that Martin
Madden, who was the lowest bidder,
had sent In q communication to the
effect that he had made a mistake;
that he had failed to figure on the
heating and ventiating plant and con-
sequently wished to be relieved Of his
contract. Madden's bid was $10,501,
and he maintained that if he were held
to the contract he would suffer a loss
of about $1,000.
The building committee recommend
ed that Maddens request be granted
and that w. S. Daubenspeck, the next
lowest bidder. be given the contract.
Daubenspecks price was S1l,SS5.
Some Members Object
Several members of the board were
not inclined to favor this course of
procedure, for the reason that short
time ago a similar state of affairs arose
and the bids were readvertised. 1t was
argued that this established a prece-
dent which should be followed in this
case, and finally motion by Mr..
stephens to that effect prevailed.
Following the adoption of this mo-
ton Mr.. Scott moved that hereafter
the board shall not be bound by any
precedents of this kind; that the lowest
bidder shall forfeit his certified check
in the event of failure to live up to his
agreement.
Madden's mistake was generally re-
garded as having been due to gross
carelessness on his part. 1t was
shown that the specifications for the
heating and ventilating plant were at
tached to those for general construc-
ton work, but in view of the action
taken a short time ago when the
board readvertised for bids in a sim
liar case. the members decided to re-
lieve him of his contract Hereafter,
however excuses of that kind will not
be accepted.
w. S. Daubenspeck. who was the
next lowest bidder for the school, also
sent in communication stating that
if the contract were awarded to him
he would not accept it unless he were
allowed four and one-half months in
which to complete the work.
Lumber Scarce, Too
He said that owing to the scarcity
of certain sizes of lumber it would be
impossible to finish the building with
in the time fixed by the board.
It is possible that the same causes
will lead to delays on some of the
other buildings
At the meeting of the board yester-
day the purchasing committee recon-
mended that the bid of the CONNER
cial Printing house of $16S per printed
page be accepted, that a contract for
the school year 1867 be entered into,
and that 1900 copies of the course of
study be ordered printed.
The report was adopted.

time, and fought the field side by side,
and then they parted and went to their
various houses In Los Angeles.
And then the trouble came.
Champion Glenwood, the deboniar
gentleman, fell in love with a dear little
girl, who daily patted him on the head
as she walked to school. The dog
finally missed her and he was heart
broken.
Several days after, in his desolation.
Champion Glenwood walked like the
man he had been to the top Of Angels
Flight. looked once over the great drop
to the street below, and then, without
ever a sigh for the bright life that
might have been his. leaped the fence
and was dashed to death on the ground
below.
There was look of pain and sadness
In his big brown eyes as he rested on
the ground, with the life slowly leaving
him, and physicians administered
chloroform and ended his misery.
That was the end of Glenwood, but 1t
was the beginning of the misery of
Check.
Searches in Vain
The faithful mate went for visit 10
the Hagan dog. He missed his friend
and he searched in vain for him. He
walked bout disconsolately and refused
to be comforted. Every pointer he met
he would look at in a mournful way
and then trot away in his sorrow.
Life wasn't worth living for poor
Check, and he moped and suked and
at last one morning his master called
Him for his food and received no re-
sponse.
The house, the barn. the sheds and
the sta bles were searched, but there has.
heen no Check found
officers of the city have searched in
vain, but neighbors state that the dog
was seen leaving the place. trotting
along at a good pace with his nose
pointed high and his breast moving
rapidly to the call of his hardened
muscles.
The last seen of the pointer he was
headed for the open country. where the
broad fields and the stubble sang the
song of field meets and the happy days
of old when he leaped to the call of his
partner.
Sheriff Promises Help
Yesterday the sheriff promised his aid
in search for the dog. and hundreds of
sportsmen who know the dog are also
looking for him. but as for Check there
is no more happiness for him.
The one last hope of his life is that he
may win championship, and when
toothless and windbroken he rests be-
fore his masters chair ard waits the
call to the happy hunting grounds of
dogdom he may smile in contentment
and dream sleepily of his meeting with
the spirit of dear old Glenwood of the
class of the champions

CHAMP. GLENWoOD'S DEATH

Since Puppyhood DAYS CANNES Were
Friends and Now That Champion
Is Dead Surviving compan-
ion Is Disconsolate

Out in the wide, wide world where the
ways of man are strange and the ex-
istenCe of a dog is thing of misery. a
sad-eyed pointer is wandering. longing
and wishing for the bright, Jolly com
panion of his puppyhood and calling in
vain for the soft caress of his mate, the
dead Champion Glenwood.
The case is probably the most peculiar
in the history of field dogs. and every
officer in the county is keeping care
full lookout for the lost Check" one of
the finest pointers in the southwest,
who has wandered away to look for his
playmate

Wonder Over Fate
But there is a story in connection
with the disappearance of Check. and
his friends are wondering over his fate.
Back in his puppyhood Check, the
gentleman of Los Angeles dogdom. met
a friend, younger than himself, but a
man of his own Caliber The two pup
pies had been friends and had trotted
together in more than one thought
field.
The other dog was Glenwood, beau
tiful animal owned by DR. Ralph Hagan
of Los Angeles. Later Glenwood took
a hard-fought field at Bakersfield and
the name Champion was tackled up over
his kennel. and Check. his friend, was
the first to rub noses with him and tell
him how glad he was of his success.
In many field the dogs dashed for
their quarry side by side and always
they were paired for the work, and in
this way Check received his name. He
was the checkmate of the Champion
Glenwood.
The love of the dogs for one another
was so marked that the members of the
field clubs often petted and fondled one
dog to try and make the other jealous,
but they failed to cause hard feeling.
At the last meet at Riverside the
dogs were in the traces for a second

Although Pappa is very old and was
so i'll that he should not have at
tempted the work, he assumed full
out by the careful watching necessary
to save the dock from destruction, the
old man was under medical care dur
ing two of the nights the Dewey was in

Hanhurn Bill Suits President.

President Roosevelt Sunday reiterated his
views on railroad rate Legislation in tele'
gram sent to the legislative committee of the
PENNSYLVANIA state grange. The president
said: | am happy to tell you that not only
am / standing on my original position as re-
CARDS rate legislation, but II seems likely
that congress will take this position, too.
The Hepburn rate bill meets my views, as
have from the beginning stated. The ALI
son amendment is only declaratory Of what
the Hepburn bill must mean, supposng 1t to
be constitutional, and no genuine friend OF
the bill can object to it without stultifying
himself. In addition / should be glad to get
certain amendments, such those common
ly known as the Long and Overman amend
ment; but they are not vital and even with
out them the Hepburn bill, with the Allison
amendment, contains practically exactly
what have both originally and always since
asked for, and if enacted into law it will
represent the longest step ever yet taken in
the direction of solving the railway rate
problem.
