BIDS RECEIVED FOR i.
PHILIPPINE RAILROAD

Washington, ID. c., January 20
The new bids for concessionary CON
tracts or grants for the construction Of
railroads in the Philippine Islands,
which had been submitted to Secretary
Taft, after the bids submitted in an
sWer to the previous call for proposals
had been rejected, were opened this
morning at 10 b clock and submitted
to the bureau Of ineular affairs for
computation. The former bids had been
rejected because of departures from the
terms Of the circular calling for pro-
.posals. Secretary Taft, after a number
sof conferences with Governor Wright
and Mr.. Forbes of the Philippine com
mission and Colonel Edwards, chief Of
the insular bureau, rejected all pro-
sposals and readvertised for bids. The
terms Of the proposals were somewhat
modified
"a Il was decided that, where bidders
propose to construct the road without
guarantee they will be limited in their
bids only BY the terms Of the Philip
pine government railroad acts of 1909
and 1908 But, where bidders wish to-
take advantage Of guarantee Of GER
tain Interest on their investment they
can vary from the original invitations,
to bid iii point Of time or in the cost
sof construction per mile, as affected by
contractors profits. AS to the latter
the Philippine government reserves the
right to fix the maximum cost of the
road The time In which the road can
be completed and the contractors pro-
fits will be important consideration I'M
making the awards. 1t is understood
that the bidders who have sent in pro-
posals this time are partically the same
as those sent III bids on the previous
occass;o1S 8g

Mans Case.

OR" Thomas II. White, who conducted a
correspondence course at his College or
Science" in Baltimore, was found guilty
yesterday afternoon I'm the United States
court on the charge of using the mails In
connection with scheme to defraud. The
jury returned the verdict after being out
exactly one hour.
Immediately Robert F. Leach, jr., OF coun-
sci for the Doctor" made motion for a
new trial, and Judge Morris raised the
bail pending the decision with regard to this
matter. Sentence was, of course, suspend
ed, but as the Doctor was unable to
give $4,000 bail he was obliged to spend
the night in the city jail. He expects to
be able to arrange his bond today. II the
motion for a new trial Is overruled an APP
peal will likely be taken.
The case was put on trial May 81. and
since that time has created much interest.
The indictment upon which the Doctor
was convicted contained three offenses and
five counts. all OF which pertained TO the

TURNPIKE COMMITS
SIONERS ORDERED

The Turnpike Commissioners were
ordered out Monday by Judge Gordon
to examine the condition of the Mt
Pleasant turnpike. The order was
brought about by the closing of the
Ashwood gate. Some time since the
commissioners ordered the gate
thrown open and had not given the
owners permission to close it. The
gate was closed few days since new
ertheless. Wednesday Mr.. W. May
berry, citizen living along the pike,
swore out States warrant before
Esq Smith charging the manager of
the, pike, Mr. Garnett Rainey, with
taking Illegal toll. A petition from
other citizens was also presented to
Judge Gordon asking that the commits
sioners be called out.

FINE HORSES
ON PARADE.

From numerical standpoint the dis
play of fine stock Monday was not up to
past years, but from an individual
standpoint it would be hard to beat
in any county north or south. With
few exceptions, the very cream of
| fine horses of the county were on
hand
l. Ewell Farm did not send their
great sire and race horse, John R.
Gentry but they had McEwen 2:181a,
sire of probably more individually
good horses, the greater number of
which possessed speed, than any
horse now standing in the State. This
farm also had on display their young
sire Hal Brown, a horse they chose to
take the place of his illustrious sire
Brown Hail. and which seems destined
to add new luster to Brown Halls
great record.
Chaffin Bros had great Walter Direct
2:05%, horse for which they re-
fused 100000 for last year, winner of
the Chamber of Commerce Stake at
Detroit last year, a horse which will
be sent to the races next year and to
the minds of good judges will shave
the two minute mark The colts of
Walter Direct in the line give evil
dence that this horse will make as
great a record as a sire as he has at
tanned as a race horse. Another great
horse in the line belonging to Messrs.
Chaffin Bros, was The Spy, a horse
which has attained an enviable record
as a sire. His colts possess size,
style, conformation and speed almost
without exception. Two fine looking
FLIES by The Spy followed their sire.
Will Direct, another of Chaffin Bros
well bred sires, was in the line, fol-
lowed by classy looking colt of his
get.
The Columbia Coach Horse Co. had
their handsome German coach horse,
Tilly in line. J. Ripley Steele was on
hand with his we'll bred stallion,
Burns Hal. T. G. Webster had his
handsome Van Buren, Wilkes horse,
whose dam is by the great Tom Web
ster, in the parade. Harris & Dalton
were on hand with Maxwelton by
Tennessee Wilkes. Jones & Moore
had their thoroughbred horse in line.
A number of fine jacks were also in
line.

Cumberland Telephone Company Uses High
Handed Methods.
DISCHARGED A VALUED EMPLOYE
Because His Father Voted To Give Home
Telephone Company a Franchise Through
Spring Hill.

Mr.. James o. Hardin, son of DIR. J.
o. Hardin, and nephew of Mr.. Tom
Williams, of Columbia, spent Tuesday
in Columbia, and while here told of
experiences sure to arouse the ire of
any man of Independent spirit.
Mr.. Hardin has a special aptitude
for electrical engineering and for the
past six years has been employed by
the Cumberland Telephone Co., in the
engineering department at their Nash
Vile offices. The chief engineer of
this department has pronounced Mr..
Hardin's work eminently satisfactory
and till within the past few weeks
nothing has happened to make him
believe that he was not held in the
highest esteem by his employers.
DR.. Hardin, Mr. Hardin's father, is
a member of the Board of Mayor and
Aldermen of Spring Hill, and few
weeks since this Board granted the
Home Long Distance Telephone Co.,
franchise to run their lines through
the corporation of Spring Hill
Mr.. James Hardin had nothing at
all to do with the action of the Spring
Hill authorities, and in fact, was ig-
norant of the entire matter till one
day last week when he was approached
by Mr.. Leland Hume, General Manager
of the Cumberland Telephone Co., and
informed of the matter and told that
unless he went to Spring Hill and had
his father take measures to cause the
Board of Mayor and Aldermen to re-
scind their action in the telephone
matter that he (Hardin) would be out
of job. He politely informed Mr..
Hume that his father was capable of
and acting for himself with
out any outside influence and had, he
knew, acted in the telephone matter
in accordance with the dictates of his
own conscience, and that he would
make no effort to cause him to act
other than he thought right.
Mr. Hardin was thereupon fired

FAIR DIRECTORS

OFFICERS ELECTED AND AN EFF.
FORT WILL BE MADE TO HAVE
THE FALL FAIR THE BEST
IN THE HISTORY OF THE
ASSOCIATION.

The stockholders of the Maury
County Fair Association met re-
Gently for the purpose of reorgani-
zaticn and to make preliminary plans
for bigger fair than ever this fall.
Messrs. John w. Fry, Eugene An.
derson, George McKennon and A. N.
Akin, having been forced by the press
of private business to give up all &C
tive, working interest in the associa-
ton, their stock was purchased by
some of the other stock holders. In
the election of officers, Col. H. A.
Brown was chosen President, John
Trotwood Moore, Vice President; F.
d. Chafin, Treasurer and H. w.
Thomas, Secretary.
While plans for the fall fair are
not entirely perfected, 1t goes without
saying that an effort will be made to
have the fair the largest and best in
the history of the association.

THEIR INNOCENCE
Strongly Protested by Men Charged
With Robbing Postoffice at Car
tiers Creek.

'We are victims of circumstances, Z"
said George Barnes, one of the four
men arrested on the charge of robbing
the postoffice at Carriers Creek, Tues
day. The men sat in the county jail
looking very detected They protest
ed against what they claimed was an
unkind fate. I'VE were travelling
through the country trying to make an
honest living" he continued. 1T just
happened that we were in the town at
the same time the robbery occurred"
The men have the appearance of
tramps, but they are by no means IL
literate. They strenuously claim their
innocence, and think they will be able
to prove it. AS to their connection
with any robberies through the coun-
try they state that they know absol-
utely nothing ABOUT handling any sort
of tools used by burglars, and had new
er attempted to touch a safe, but, to
the contrary, had been busy at work
all the time that these robberies are
claimed to have occurred.
