Frustrated Attempt. ~
WANTED A COMBINATION
Especial to The Times-D lspatch. i


WILLIAMSBURG, VA. March 10.--As
rather peculiar report Is going the rounds
in Williamsburg as to how modern bid
ders seek to make profits whether they
get the bids or not.
The report has 1t that one OF the bids
ders for the street lighting system for
the town tried to induce the other bid.
ders to enter in~o a conspiracy to fleece
Williamsburg of $4,000, But fortunately
for the town, the Light Committee, by
exercising sound Judgment, cut the con-
spiracy short. N
Mr.. Adam Umholtz. the successful cpn-
tractor, admitted that one Of the bidders
approached at least two of the other
bidders with the proposition that bids bs
padded to something like $4,000, tho
lowest bid. The two highest bidders,
having lost the contract, were to receive
each $3.50. @
The gentlemen thus approached res
fused to consider the proposition, thu
saving the city from being the victim Of
a fraud. s4s
Messrs. e. Fl. Proctor and j. II, sey-
mour, members of the Light Committee
were called up by telephone from a bid
der in nearby city and invited To-
come to that city at the expense and as
the guests Of one of the firms that was
figuring on the contract, and did finally
submit a bid. Both gentlemen refused
to 20. 1t was the same firms rep
resentative that is alleged to have tried
to get up the conspiracy.
In the face of all this the firm whose
representative Is alleged to have taken
the questionable steps failed to secure re
the contract, Notwithstanding his bid
was the lowest handed in. The cons
mittee awarded the contract to Mr. Um--
holtz because they thought It the most
practical bid handed In and that the
city would gain more by 1T than the
difference in the bids. III as aS
This action Of the committee has been
warmly approved by the citizens Of the
| town. gtss
The attempt by the unsuccessful hrm
to defraud the town has been the subject
of much comment, and sentiment Is such
| that 1t is needless to say no bid VIII
ever again be considered from the alleged

WILLIAMSBURG, VA, March TO-
No doubt can exist now but that the
female seminary Is a certainty, and
that 1t will be in operation here next
fall The sum OF $13,36O has been
raised by the untiring efforts OF MIR.

accepted by the Presbyterian Board of

charge expects to spend about $4,000
this year on site and buildings. and
in about ten years expect to invest III
the plant at least 100000.
Rev. Mr.. Hunter and the others In
charge will be here the latter part

the school and make other preliminary
arrangements. The board will raise
about $4,000 to supplement- the fund
contributed.
Plan and Scope.
The following is a summary of tho
whole matter as 1t now stands:
The Presbytery of Norfolk held a
meeting in that city last week, and
endorsed the plan of raising funds
for the promotion of the project for
a female college, to be established
under the auspices Of the denomina-
ton.
The people OF this town had Offered
the presbytery $4,000 on condition
that the presbytery raise $1,000 for tho
establishment here Of a female semi
nary, to be owned and controlled by
the presbytery.
The board of education OF the pres
bytery, composed OF Revs. w. NJ.
Hunter, T.. T. Wexford, A. S. venable
and M. MEG. Shields and Messrs. L. r
Barksdale, of Portsmouth: r. S. Cohr
and L. S, Register. of Norfolk; Profess
sor r. Randolph Jones. OF New York
and Professor John w. Richie, of
William and Mary College, through
whom these negotiations were being
carried on, at the meeting unanimousl,
recommended that the offer OF tho
citizens of this town be accepted, an,
/ that they at once proceed to raise
their portion of the funds. and estab
i lish the institution at the earliest
| possible moment
Educational Centre.
/ This action of the Norfolk Presby
terry makes it positive that the colleg
will be established, and 1t seems a
! II the ancient little city OF Williams
burg Is once moro to assume its posi-
tion as q centre of education. AS
location. williamsburg is ideal in ever
way for a college. The town is YER
quiet at all times. ana there are fe,
pleasures to tempt the student froI
his or her work, Besides this. tn
town Is full of Interesting historical
objects still standing, and OF tradi
lions that perforce impress the earl
history of our country,
The founding of the seminary wi
be a great advantage, not only to tn
city. but to the whole Peninsula an
Underwater Virginia ms we'll.
Williamsburg Is only n small plac'
and naturally rates will be cheape
than at other places. This will max
1t possible for many girls to atten
college who would be unable other
wise to do SO. The town, too Is with
easy reach OF all Tidewater.
