The Bankers Child

The Kansas City Journal Says: 1t
is a long time since a play has come
to Kansas City as elevating in it's
tone and as prettily staged and
costumed as Harry Shannon's "The
Bankers Child" which was given as
a matinee at the Grand yesterday,
and again last evening. The same
play will be presented all the week,
and there is no doubt but thatit will
draw crowded houses. The elegant
costums worn are seldom equaled on
the stage and heighten the effect
of a very pretty play which has
enough of the tragedy in it to make
it immensely interesting. At opera

In Furniture Contracts
for New Capitol.
AT HARRISBURG.
An Expert Shows investigators How
the States Money was Squan-
dered with Lavish Hand.

Harrisburg, Pa, June 20.-Charles
d. Montague, u metallic furniture ex.
pert, OF New York, testified before
the capitol investigation commission
Wednesday that the state had not
only been grossly overcharged for the
metallic furniture supplied by the
pennsylvania Construction Co. under
its S2,000,000 contract with the board
OF grounds and buildings, but that he
had bored into the burglar proof
Vault' In the state treasury in four
hours with an ordinary eight.lnch
breast drill.
Mr.. Montague said that the four
safes In the capitol for which this con.
cern was paid $4,000 by the state
were worth only $4,000 and that
there was no chrome steel or steel
rails In the vault, only ordinary steel
which any one could bore into with
ease. AS to the metallic furniture the
expert said the state was charged ex.
cessiye prices.
He said certain bills were two and
three times more than a fair trade
list price without the customary dis.
count. He said the sub-base1nent
contained one case that cost the state
S,lS2. The list price was S287, sub
ject to discount. As to the first floor
metallic furniture It cost $229, ,23l and
was worth $132,l0 On the entersol
floor the cases were billed at $l54,6S
and We're worth $54,470. These esti-
mates were based on standard trade
price lists. Mr. Montague never
heard OF metallic furniture being sold
by the foot outside of Harrisburg"
He said Architect Huston design
ed" metallic furniture for rooms
which do not contain any at all and
that the plans for which Huston col
lected a commission of $4,000 from
the state as his own were prepared
by company which supplied the me.
tallic furniture to the Pennsylvania
Co.
The expert said that the bronze on
the first floor was worth $4,000. The
state paid $566,000.
The commission will be in session
for probably the next two days. Ex-
GOV, Pennypacker and other officials
will be given an opportunity to be
heard this week.
