O'BRTEN TO Barnard.
admits Nam Facts an Iron
Pine CHARGES.

The charge made by Otto T. Barnard
the Republican candidate for Mayor, that
S1,oo0OO0 worth Of iron pipe through mis-
management was lying in the ground use
less in Seventh avenue and in The Bronx
because the city had failed to obtain the
necessary permit for crossing under the
Harlem River from the War Department
caused a stir in the Department of Water
Supply, Gas and Electricity yesterday.
Commissioner O'Brien confirmed the prin-
cipaI features of Mr. Barnard s sensational
charges, but gave reasons satisfactory 10
the department to account for the delay
In a statement he said:
Mr.. Barnard criticised the CONTRACT Ior
water mains in Seventh and Jerome ave
nues, charging that the pipe was oouShl a.
S33 TO S34 a ton and that the price year
later was S22 ton. AS matter OF ract,
the average price for pipe quoted oy tne
lowest bidder on all the contracts opened
in 1901 was 500 81. Every one in the con-
tracing business knows that bidders cut
tract and balance their bids by adding TO
the price of pipe, for the reason that the
city allows the contractor ~ per cent OF
the cost price of the pipe when II is dellv-
cred and the contractor is thus enaoleo 10
finance his job more readily
The contract referred to was let by my
predecessor on May Z, 1906 The cost OF the
Jerome avenue contract was $685. 6S IS; the
cost of the Seventh avenue contract was
s2e5 672 S. The Seventh avenue contract
was made under date of October 49, 1905.
Mr.. O'Brien said the work was held up
ten months in Difference to the Rapid
Transit Commission. and that now the de-
Law was due to the New York Central He
ended his statement by saying:
believe that these mains across the
Harlem River could be completed and put
in service within six months after the
agreement with the New York Central &
Hudson River Railroad Company is finally
disposAd If.

MERCHANTS RALLY
ALL FOR B4NNARD.
Parsons Puts Republican Plu-
raIitg at 10000.

Business men are becoming so enthusi-
astic over Otto T. Barnard that they are
preparing TO make a campaign for him
that will rival the famous sound money
campaign for President Mckinley.
They are going to make it known that
the business interests Of the city-and by
that they mean the merchants and manu-
facturers. as well as fnanciers-want Mr..
Barnard More than that. they are going
70 work for his election, knowing that in
his elevation TO the Mayors chair and the
election OF his associates on the fusion
ticket lie their only chance Of getting an
able. business administration and freedom
from the petty graft that always goes
with a Tammany administration.
President Parsons Of the Republican
County Committee yesterday doubled the
figures which Congressman Bennett gave
as his estimate of the plurality Of MIR.
Barnard. IT believe it 10 be a conserva-
tive estimate to say that Mr.. Barnard
will win by at least 10000" declared Mr..
Parsons
careful poll in each Assembly district.
These polls have been taken in groups Of
the same men in every election since 1905.
The change among these men over 1905.
taken in connection with the vote Of that
year, should give a fairly accurate idea
OF the result this year. This Is the way
Mr. Parsons is figuring:
New-York tribune. [volume] (New York [N.Y.]) 1866-1924, 1909-10-22

-. 49,
According to Mr.. Parsons's view the Ban
nard vote will approximate that received
by Governor Hughes in this city when he
ran against Hearst in 1895. which was
261 600 He also believes that Barnard
should get d good many OF the Mcclellan
votes of 1905.
Four years ago Hearst's vote was 225,01o.
and Mr.. Parsons figures that he cannot
get more than 50 or so per cent Of
that vote this year. There seems to be
little real Gaynor sentiment in this county.
so far as the reports OF Mr.. Parsons go.
II do not want 20 appear to be too
sure" said Mr. Barnard yesterday after
noon but I am sure Of my election.
nevertheless There Is no doubt that the
drift is away from Gaynor. see it every
where I go Much Of this drift is toward
me. although some Of it is toward Hearst"
Mr. Barnard is agreeably surprised at
the way in which he has been standing
the strain of the campaign.
Il am feeling as fresh as a daisy" he
said Perhaps this active outdoor life is
what I have needed. For a man who was
tied down TO a desk as was the change
has been beneficial. I am little short
on sleep. I'll admit. but manage to make
it up on Sundays"
Harry w Mack, campaign manager for
Charles S. Whitman, candidate for District
Attorney. predicted last night that Whit

Of his colleagues on the fusion ticket" said
Mr.. Mack. There is every indication that
Whitman is gaining ground every day and
that the people are thoroughly aroused

ELECTION TRIAL
 ENDS SUDDENLY

Atlanta, June 2S.-(Special.) )-What promised to be one of the most sen sational election trials in the history of Georgia came to an unexpected. and to th eprosecution, Unsatisfactory end this afternoon when verdicts of not guilty were returned. L. B. Norton and A. II. Flake were on trial. They acted as election managers in the Lithonia cleo tion in 1908 when Samps Morris was running against Hooper Alexander in DeKalb county for the legislature, and were charged by Morris friends with falsifying the returns. The judge had ruled that the election box could be opened, when the defense sprung the trick that ended the case. D. Phillips, who was also one of the managers and who was in addition justice of the peace and notary public, swore that the two defendants had never been sworn in as election managers. sHe said that following the usual custom the man agers had signed their names to the oath and he had attested 1t. The judge then granted verdicts of not guilty, holding they could not be guilty of false swearing.

Not Satisfied With Finding.

Atlanta, June Standardization with the finding of the Georgian ailroad arbi- tration board, which permitted negro firemen to continue work and denied white fremen seniority. was voiced today by A. F. Kelly, third vice president of the Brotherhood of Locomotive Bremen and Enginemen. He said the award, by mak- ing equal the wages of white and negro firemen. made 1t possible to lower the wages of the white men to meet the negro scale instead of raising the negroes wages to meet the white scale. He said that such seniority of whites over negroes as existed before the award is destroyed and in his opinion promotion will depend entirely upon selection by the officials of the road

CONDUCTOR KILLS
 NEGRO STOKES

Conductor J. A. Kngore sh ot and Stokes while taking his car into the barn about l o'clock this morning.
 The car was No. 557 of the Owenton line, and the shooting happened on Third avenue between Thirteenth and Fourteenth streets, near the gas plant T. E. Sexton was motorman.
 Kilgore's nose was bleeding and he was sitting on the step of the car At Fourteenth street the car stopped and then moved on. Two negroes were standing on the corner leaning against a pole according to Conductor Kil- mores account of the affair, but they made no move toward getting on the car when it stopped. After 1t had passed a short distance beyond the corner one of the negroes made a break for the car. The car was travel ing at a fairly slow rate of speed and the negro jumped up on the rear step, landing upon Kilgore.
 There was a light upon the platform of the car and there was no reason why the negro should not have seen Kilgore, according to Kilgore's state ment. The negro jumped up and nut tering something placed his hand in , his inside pocket: Kilgore was taking no chances and quickly drawing his gun shot the negro once.
 The bullet penetrated the body a short distance below the left nipple and the negro fell off the car into the road way. Shaw & Sons black ambulance was summoned but the negro died a moment after being placed in 1t and he was taken to the undertaking shop to await the action of the coroner. Call Officer Ball was sent to thu scene of the shooting, where Kilgore was waiting to surrender to him. Kill gore was taken to police headquarters where he was held for the night. It Is considered very probable that the coroner will place him under bond pending an investigation. The negro lived in Alley F between Eighteenth and Nineteenth streets.
