Hartford Concern Deprived of Contract
for Government Printing.

Washington, Oct POSTMASTER Cen
eral Meyer has suspended the payment
of moneys due from his department to
the Hartford Manufacturing company
of Hartford, Conn, and has submitted
the matter to the attorney general Tor
such further action as may be deemed
proper. The Hartford Manufacturing
company, up to July last, supplied the
stamped envelopes and newspaper
wrappers sold at postof1ices. Chemical
analysis of samples has disclosed the
fact that the composition of the enVel-
ope paper has been below the require
ments of the contract, and according to
the computation of the experts OF the
postoffice department the company mas

flied to the extent OF ABOUT S4Ao,uoV;
One of the manufacturers who supplied
paper to the company has admitted to
the postmaster generals agents that his
firm furnished different and cheaper
material than specified In the contract
and that it was so made at the instance
of the Hartford Manufacturing COM
pany.
During the investigation a new con-
tract was entered into for the supply
ing of stamped envelopes and neWspa-
per wrappers with the Mercantile Cor
poration of Dayton, Ohio, beginning
July l. AS the Hartford company mao
carried on successive contracts Tor near
.ly 80 years, naturally there was no otner
plant in existence to do this particular
class of work, but the guarantees FUR
nisfed by the new company showing
its financial standing and ability to OBJ

ter several weeks personal inquiry In
Washington and elsewhere.
The product must average nearly -FOUR
million envelopes every working day IN
the year. OF these, 80 per cent are plain
stamped envelopes, the remaining 70 per
cent bearing the return CARDS, names
and addresses of the senders. The two
concerns mentioned were the only COM
petitors for the new contract, the bld
of the Hartford company being $5,531,-

ted quantities required during the four

Butler Pa, Oct. An explosion,
caused by the upsetting OF the metal
pot in the No. 1 cupola of the STANDARD
steel company caused the death OF four
men, fatally injured twenty and ser,
iously hurt, twenty others. Nearly All
the men were foreigners.
The large wheel plant was demo1sn-

The condition of the twenty men IN
iured is pitiable. Although Still awe
the features of majority are Inuli nao,

was showered over them causing horrl-
bile injuries. Arms, fingers ana ears
were torn off and number or the men
lost eyes. Several men are In the nos

The EXPLOSION was caused by the up
setting of a metal pot in the cupola,
which contained 5000 pounds OF molten
metal ready for casting. A span In tns

snill over the wet sand. An explosion
Followed so quickly that none of the
workmen in the building had chance
to escape. Streams of the burning

force of the explosion, shivered as If

rushed from their homes panic stricken
When flames shot from the burning
car works 10000 people rushed to the
scene blocking streets and interfering
with fire companies and ambulances.
| Through lack Of room many of the in
iured were compelled to lie naked for
an hour on cots in the street cars be-
fore reaching the hospital. At the gate
of the car plant men and women strug-
gled frantically to gain admission and
were kept out only by the assistance of
a force of policemen. In the crush
many women were injured and their
cries of pain and anguish could be heard
blocks away. The car wheel plant was
finished last year at cost of 100000.
The wrecked cupola alone cost $4,000.

ALL DETROIT CELEBRATED.
Their Winning Pennant Team Set the
Town Wild.

Detroit, Oct. 7.-Downtown streets
took on an election night aspect as
thousands of baseball fans, both men
and women, cheered themselves hoarse
in appreciation of the winning of the
American league baseball champions
ship by the Detroit team. Hundreds OF
the celebrators carried small pennants.
Huge bonfires marked the constantly
changing scene of the celebration As
fast as the. people would rush to the
point of the newest blaze, someone
would turn a fire alarm and the police
and fire departments We're kept busy
until the early hours. But the police
and firemen never lost patience with
the mob After a dozen unnecessary
runs the patrol wagons, hose carts and
engines would still drive into the crowd
with officers and fire fighters laughing.
No serious consequences were reported.
