by the first Of January no one would
have, under any circumstances, taken
a denomination.
Now, l believe the extension of
the contract was properly made. l
do not believe, under the law, that
any court would grant to the city
any relief if they should demand of
Jacobson Bade penalty Of s25 per
day. If we go into court and ask
that we be granted that forfeiture,
we must show that there was negli
gence upon the part of the contrac-
tor. am certain we cannot do
that. The contractor was not to
blame; he came here for the purpose
OF finishing this contract by the first
OF January, which would be to his
advantage, for from that time he is
put to thousands Of dollars of ex-
penses. He wanted to complete If
at the earliest possible moment.
Then what motive would there be
for the jacobson Bade company not
completing the contract by the first
OF January If he exigencies of the
case did not make it possible"
The railroad situation was then
taken up and discussed at some
lentgh.
The Greeley tribune., 1907-04-04

Il do not believe, Mr.. Townsend,
they are true; l do not believe you
can prove them. From what / have
seen of Mr.. Wilson (and | have been
with him gread deal on water
works business) nothing in his con-
duct has been amiss. He has made
first. class member of the council.
and If l we're to have tile appoint.
ment again would appoint Mr..
Wilson chairman of that committee.
In regard to the Jacobson Babe
bid, it was held up some time, as 1T
took time before the engineer could
compare the figures in the almost
infinite number of items in the con-
tract from some twelve or more bids
which was necessary before we could
determine who was the lowest and
best bidder. We, had the advice of
MIR. Anderson, our consulting engi-
neer. After thorough fnyestiga-
t1on, he advised us that the Jacob
SON. Bade people were the lowest and
best bidders. 1t was not the action
OF MIR. Wilson; lie had no more voice
than any of the other members of the
council. When this contract was
let 1t was let in open council nv a
vote OF each member thereof. The
council, under the instruction of its
counsulting engineer in whom n had
utmost confidence, both as tn his
ability and his integrity ,w.rded
the contract to jacobson. Babe COM
pany, not only under bis ady,co bnt

mined they were the lowest and hest
oiooefs' 1t was the legal duty Of the

WILL ASK ROOT

ABOUT SPEEDING
" When in Rome" He
Says, Diplomats Must
Be Romans. "

Mayor Garrett. of Glen Echo, will one
day this week address a letter to Sec
retary Root, asking that the Secretary
of State advise all ambassadors and le-
cations in the city Of the speed laws
of Glen Echo. and request that the
diplomats of foreign nations observe
these laws when automobiling in the
precincts of Glen Echo.
The mayor came TO this determination
today, following the sensational arrest
by Marshal Collins yesterday of another
foreign diplomat and a party of friends.
Thus does Marshal Collins. fearless
and indiscriminating guardian of that
Glen Echo speedway. known as the
Conduit road, again loom large as an

days ago she was so seasick she could
not leave her bed. Both Corey and his
wife confined themselves 70 their apart-

tire voyage. The steward set a guard
over the rooms and no one was allowed
10 annoy them.
All efforts to interview Corey were

PUNISH UTAH
FOR A FRAUD

Question Arises in Con-
neCtion With Coal
Land Deals.

II State OF the Union becomes party
to huge fraud on the Government OF
the United States, has the United States
any recourse against the State2 Can
the State be punished?
That question is in a fair wav to be
threshed out in the Federal courts for
the first time.
1t IS charged that the State OF Utah
has been practically a coadjutor with
the Utah Fuel Company in a great ser
les Of frauds for the purpose Of getting
immensely valuable coal lands away
from the Federal Government and into
possession Of the Utah Fuel Company.
The law department OF the Government
is going to find out whether there is
any remedy.
This Utah case is but one of a great
number Of land fraud proceedings which
TODAY seem 70 assure that the iaiIs of
a half dozen far Western States will
have to be enlarged TO accommodate
guests. Never before since the
crusade against land looting was started
has there been such activity as now.
and never has the proportion OF criminal
convictions been so large

OLIVER IS SURE
He WILL HELP
DIG THE CANAL
Army Engineers All Right
in Theory, But Not in
Practice.

AUGUSTA, Ca, May 20.-That the
construction of the Panama canal
will yet have to be done by contract,
and that he himself will have a hand
in digging the big ditch, is the pre-
diction of William ]. Oliver, in an
interview here today.
Theoretically" said Mr.. Oliver,
"army engineers are the best in the
world, and from a theoretical stand
point they are the proper persons TO
have in charge of the digging of the
canal. Their training and general
equipment makes this so, but they
have neither the practical expert
ence nor the following necessary to
enable them to do actual construc-
tion WORK. They are in the attitude
of an architect toward a big build
ing. 1t is simply a matter of busi-
ness experience ttat does not come
in the way of army engineers.
Il expect that the next Congress
will be called upon to make legisla-
tion on the H4 ter. When this is
done / viii be on hand with better
proposition than I made before"
Reference to Root.
Referring to his failure to get the con-
tract for the canal and the Govern
ment's apparent bad faith with him,
when the whole country expected that
the contract would be awarded to MIN,
he said:

net, was responsible for my throw

Referring TO the part Engineer Stev-
ems played in the loss Of the contract,
Mr.. oliver said:

that he would not remain on the work
II I got the contract, the President told
him to go. You can state positively for
me, on unquestiOnatle authority. that

His interest in the matter was to pro-

because he let the men under him do
