ARCHITECTS SCALPS
SOUGHT BY LYNCH
EgyptOlOgist Is After Drafts
men Whose Building Esti-
mates Prove Incorrect
Says Cost of Construction in
Many Cases Is Much More
Than Designers Figures

Mummies may rest peacefully in their
cerements for a day or two at least,
for Jeremiah Lynch is in new adven-
lures. In particular he is going after
the scalp of all architects whose esti-
mates on the cost of construction do
not jibe with the actual expense of
the completed structures. The Bohe-
mian clubman who has surveyed man
kind from Greenland's and Klondike's s
ley mountains to lndia's and Egypt's
burning sands is to stay at home for a
while and sick the state board of
architect examiners on those craftsmen
whose estimates come out awry
That is the nonjudicial sequel to the
interchange of suits between Lynch
and Henry H. Hedger, the architect
who constructed Lynch's building in
Bush street near kearny. now occupied
by the Press club and a festive French
restaurant, and called by the eminent
owner The Ibis" building as a slight
token of esteem on the Egyptologists
part for the sacred bird of the Nile
Hot birds a-plenty are now served in
the Ibis building, but the temperature
of the sacred and feathery namesake OF
the structure is not known, even by
the Egyptologician owner
,"rhe state board of architect exam
iners must be at fault" said Lynch yes,
terday, otherwise they would not turJ
loose upon us incompetent architects
Take Mr. Hedger, for instance. He was
the presumptive architect of my build
ing. / never saw plan or detail ol
his that did not require revision OIL
alteration of some kind.
Take, for instance, the Olympic club
architect-one of those modern Phid-
Eases, who, in place of building up the
city, dug down. He has not yet reached
the sunny slopes of the antipodes, al
though he spent s150.00O."
Lynch cited a number of instances In
which, he said, the architects esti-
mates have been exceeded by the cos
of construction. He gave the follow
ing cases: The Bellevue building
Geary and Taylor streets. owned by
Mrs. Baron; estimate 100000, final cos
500 900; Columbia building. owned BY
Mrs. Eleanor Martin. Market street; es.
innate $4,000, final cost $500, 900
Gunst building, Mission street, exceed
ed architects estimate by 100000
Union Square hotel, Post street, ex
ceeded estimate by $4,000.
His own building, Lynch said. ex
ceeded Architect Hedger's estimate b,
S76,197 and he is now suing the archi
tect for that amount, while the archi
tect, who began the litigation, is suinl
Lynch for s4.225 claimed as fees.
Thoroughly aroused, Lynch says tha

IN recognition Of their services on

the fund by $4,000, three silver
trophies and a silver cup were pur-
chased by representatives Of the tag
day" committee and viii be presented
10 the grammar and high schools of
this city. In addition TO these another
silver cup was donated.
One silver cup viii go to the school
that secured the most money by its
sales in proportion to the size Of the

school realizing the second highest
amount from sales under the same
conditions.
One trophy viii be given TO the
grammar school athletic league for
competition. Another goes TO the girls

competition The third goes TO the
competition for this cup has not been

The foregoing arrangements were
made at conference between Mrs.
Helen Hecht and Mrs. Henry Payot,
representing the tag day committee,
and Thomas F. Boyle, chairman of the
board of education
The proceeds of tag day are now
lowering on the pleasing side of S27,5OO
and Il is possible that the final total
will reach s2S, 900. This is said TO be
the record for amounts realized from
tag days" if not in America at least
in the west.
Tag day in San Francisco Will be
observed as an annual occasion on
which citizens viii. as Colonel Beck of
the Anglo-CaIifornian bank expressed
it while talking from the midst of
stacks of silver, play tag for the
poor little children who are unable to
play tag for themselves"
1t took weeks OF hard work to lay
the foundation for tag day. and the
tag" committee feels that it would
be an injustice if some other chari-
table institution were allowed to step
in and pick the fruits which will sprout
from the seed sowed expressly for the
childrens hospital.

DECISION FAvORS
THE STANDARD OIL
Governments Petition for Re-
hearing of Rebate Case
Against Trust Denied
Whole Matter Will Now Be
Brought Before Supreme
Court for Settlement

CHICAGO, Nov. 10.-The government
petition for a rehearing of the case in
which the United States circuit court
of appeals reversed the trial court in
fining the Standard oil company of In
diana s29,240,000 for alleged rebating
was denied in the court of appeals to-
day. 1t is athoritatively stated that
the government will now attempt to
bring the whole matter before the SUI
preme court on. a writ of certiorari.
The government in it's petition for a
rehearing intimated that If the opin-
lon of the judges of the appellate court
-Grosscup, Seaman and Baker-were
allowed to stand it would nullify near
ly every shred of rate reformatory
legislation accomplished by the Roose-
Welt administration. In summing up its
position counsel for the government
said that the opinion of the court OF
appeals as it stood enormously stated
material portions of the record; did in
justice to the trial Judge (Landis); left
doubtful. in a new trial, the rule of
law to be applied both as to knowledge
on the part of the shipper that he was
accepting an illegally low rate; did not
make 1t clear what was to constitute
an offense-a trainload. carload or a
whole series of shipments, for which
but one settlement of freight charges
had been made. 1t was further alleged
that the language OF the appellate
judges appeared to be in conflict with
the language of the supreme court and
with language used by the presiding
judge, Judge Grosscup. in a previous
similar case. The petition closed with
a statement that If the opinion OF the
court of appeals were permitted to
stand unmodified it would tend 10 en-
courage disobedience to the law; to i'm
pede the enforcement of salutary
statutes and largely to defeat their
purpose"

Woman Who BlaCknailed
Mrs. Phipps Needed Money

DENVER, Nov. 10.-Further develop

We've Chanler Phipps with death un-
less she delivered over $4,000 within
an hour show that it was not the need
of money that influenced her to at
tempt blackmail. but must have been
the suggestion of a diseased mind
After learning that the woman was
the wife of Allen Reed, a druggist of
this city. they investigated further and
discovered that Mrs. Reed is one of
two daughters of the Pittsfield (Mass-)
millionaire woolen manufactures named
Campbell, who died recently leaving a
large estate to his daughters. Mrs.
Reeds income from her share is more
than $4,000 a month. The police are
convinced that Mrs Reed is insane,
perhaps from the use of drugs. and
late today they turned her over to the
care of her husband. who arrived from
Buffalo Park, Colo, as soon as he
learned that his wife was in trouble
Reed suggested that perhaps he would
place his wife in a private sanitarium
for treatment. Although Mrs. Reed
displayed better mental control. toward
the last OF her interviews with Chief
of Police Armstrong, she is unable TO
explain her attempt to coerce Mrs.
Phipps into giving her large sum of
money and can not remember where
she procured the dynamite with which
she threatened the life of Mrs Phipps
and her daughter Helen. One theory
is shat Mrs. Reed was returning from
Pittsfeld to Buffalo Park. where she
was to join her husband at their coun-
try home, and while stopping OF here
between trains she was struck with
the idea OF extorting money from Mrs
Phipps. 1t is evident that she intended

DENVER, Nov. 10.-The< first real
fight in the twenty eighth annual con-
vention of the American federation of

renort of the credentials committee and
resulted in the unseating OF the dele
gates of the flint glass workers practi-
cally by a unanimous vote.

John Mitchell spoke in support of the
exclusion of the flint glass workers. He
said he stood firmly upon the consti-
tuition and the law of the federation.
Dennis Hayes of the glass bottle
blowers association also took the same
stand and declared that the flint glass
men were not only seceders but that
they had waged an incessant war upon
the glass blowers, a war even more
bitter than contests with nonunion men,
