UNDERGROUND TELEGRAPH.
Line 400 Miles Long Is Nearly Com
pleted, Joining London to Glasgow.

From the San Francisco Chronicle.
The underground telegraph system con-
Meeting London, England, with Glasgow,
Scotland is now nearing completion. the
actual length of this line is 400.5 miles,
which may be shorter than some continent
tai underground telegraph lines, but the
total mileage of wire exceeds that of any
similar line Over 81, 700 miles of wire have
been laid down The route followed by the
cable is from London to Birmingham, then
through Stafford Warrington, Preston,
Kendel Carlisle. Beattock and Glasgow. The
pipe line consists of cast-iron pipes, each
nine feet long, not including the socket,
and having a nominal internal diameter OF
three inches. Great care was taken In Sc
lecting these pipes to see that no pipe was
less than three inches in diameter. The
average diameter is three and one-eighth
inches The line is divided into sections
about $50 yards long between Birmingham
and Carlisle and 220 yards between Carlisle
and Glasgow. The pipe is laid on an aver
age not more than fourteen inches below the
surface of a footway and not more than
two feet below the surface of roadway.
At intervals of five miles the cable conduc-
tors are led into connection boxes fitted In
pillar test boxes These boxes provide
facilities for making all ordinary electrical
tests, also for air-drying the cable In case
the Insulation becomes defective.
The cable line from London to Birming-
ham is III miles long and contains seventy
six conductors, each weighing 100 pounds

CONTRACT FOR NEW SCHOOL
BUILDING.

The Kearns press syndicate, COM
posed of the Tribune, Telegram,
Herald and the little Weekly organ,
charges the board of education with
dishonesty in the letting of a contract
for the construction of school build
ing at Tenth West and Fourth North
streets, AS usual the syndicate pur-
posely misrepresents. Seven bids
were received. The highest was SAT-
1T and the lowest $32, The lat
ter was really not a bid at all, be-
cause the proposal was not accom-
panied by a certified check for 5 per
cent of the amount of the bid, the
same to be forfeited in case the bid
ders failed to enter into the contract
and put up bond for it's faithful per-
Torrance. The lowest bidder was no
titled that a certified check would be
required. but the concern failed, for
good and sufficient reasons, to comply
with that requirement and the bid
could therefore not be considered.
The people making that bid therefore
failed to demonstrate that they were
responsible parties who could be re-
lied upon to carry out their obliga-
tons and the contract naturally was
awarded to the next lowest bidder,
Asper Noall & Co., for the sum Of SAL
200. In view of the fact that the arch
itect for the board, Mr.. Kletting,
whose standing is of the best, estimat-
ed that the actual cost would exceed
the bid of the parties who failed to
make good and the other circum-
stances being considered the board of
education did exactly what any
shrewd business man who required
such work would have done.
The Tribune makes a great howl
because the board of education held
an executive session regarding some
matters of trivial import as to wheth-
err the school children would be per-
mitted to sell tickets for a charity
performance of which the San Fran
cisco sufferers were to be partial
beneficiaries. That is rather incon-
sistent, seeing that Mr.. Nelson, one
of the Tribune editors, was really the
originator of executive sessions of
the board more than a dozen years
ago. When Colonel Nelson was presi-
dent of the board of education most
things were done in executive ses-
sion, the board in open session doing
little but what the gallant colonel and
his coterie had arranged in executive
session.

BROKERS ARE DIVIDED
BOARD OF TRADE IN
DANGER OF DISRUPTION.

CHICAGO. December 21.-The Tribune to-
day says: The Chicago, board OF trade. the
premier grain market Of the world. is In
danger Of splitting In twain as the result
of the dissensions which for months have
taken attention from the markets and made
the floor Of the exchange great debating
school.
Two votes by the general membership
yesterday accelerated the movement which
has tended toward break in the ranks Of
the board for several months Unless a
radical change occurs there will be two
boards Of trade in few months.
One amendment voted down provided Tor
the filing Of claims against members who
are in debt and the compulsory transfer of
do away with the class of members who, in
the words of an ex-president are possessed
only of trading card and q lead pencil
1t Is asserted that bad business has added
to the numbers Of this class until there
are several hundred Of them all trying to
live or the efforts Of others to bring traffic
here.
The vote showed that there was little
hope to give creditors chance to collect
out Of the memberships Of debtors, for $50
voted against the change while only 123
favored it. Then another amendment by
hich members out of town would be per-
mitted to vote by proxy instead of person
went the same way. the vote on this propo-
stion being 636 against and IS for. The two
votes showed that the local traders were In
absolute control Of the board and were GER
tain to elect their officers at the election
now close at hand. For the first time IN
several months the members showed some
strong private wire houses and elevator
men.

APPROVES THE BILL.
Board of Education's Allowance fol-
Boarding Superintendent's Horse.

Superintendent Chancellor's expenditure
of $3.50 per month for the livery and care
of his horse, which was recently termed ex-
travagant by the Commissioners, has been
sustained by the board of education and
William w. Conner, secretary to the board
has again forwarded the vouchers in the
case to the District building, accompanied
by legal opinion on the subject from
Stuart Mcnamara, attorney of the board
of education.
Several weeks ago Secretary Conner sent
nels for payment, but Marion Hargrove,
property clerk District of Columbia, called
attention to the fact that $50 per month
had heretofore been the maximum livery
rate paid by the District for the
care of one horse and the bills were held
up. Mr.. Mcnamara, however, ruled that
the law governing the disbursement of pub
lie funds for school purposes gave the
board of education primary authority in
such matters and the District Commission
ers only the authority to make disburse-
ments on vouchers which the board had ap-
proved. Consequently the board of educa-
ton ordered the voucher for 500 so to be
paid.
In this same connection the District au-
thorities have observed with interest the
recommendation made by Superintendent
Chancellor that specific appropriation be
included in Contingent Expenses for School
Purposes, 1907-0S," an allowance of $500 per
annum ''for livery of horse or garage of
automobile for the superintendent" This
would make the school superintendent
monthly allotment for livery $25 per month";
or S. more per month than is incurred for
the purpose by other District officials.
