Executive Says Money WINS OTcrcd
To Get Coal Contract.
Additional scandal in connection
with the bids for the city coal con.
tract came to light in Springfield
when Mayor John s. Schnepp carried
before States Attorney Burke a story
to the effect that he had been offered
q contribution OF $1,000 for his cam
paign fund before election II he would
promise the city coal contract to Ger.
tain company. Along with this state.
ment the mayor laid before the States
Attorney the envelopes which contain.
ed the bids for the coal contract end
which. 1t developed recently. had been
tempered with before they were pub.
licly opened. The mayors action fol.
lowed the publication Of statement
by Patrick F. Murphy. manager Of the
Capital Coal Company. charging the
mayor with favoring rival concern
In letting the contracts. When the
coal bids were opened recently 1t was
found that Murphys company was low
bidder by a quarter Of cent ton on
practically every grade Of coal to be
furnished. Before the contract was
awarded cry was raised that the bids
had been tempered with. Inspection
Of the envelopes disclosed the crudest
sort Of manipulation, the envelopes
evidently having been opened with a
dull knife and in great haste. Upon
this showing the finance committee OF
the city council threw out all bids and
directed Mayor Schnepp to advertise
for new propositions. The mayor de-
clines to state who the person was
who offered him the $1,000 for the
promise OF the coal contract, but de-
clares he will disclose the mans iden.

1888 than in 1907. New England
is practically out of the wheat
business. Comparing the yield
of 1888 with that of 1907, an in
increase appears in Pennsylvania
and Mary land. Virginia, West
Virginia, Ohio, Tennessee and
Kentuckey show huctuation from
year to year, but no material
change in ten year averages.
Michigan shows q shrinkage of
about one.half, and Wisconsin
appears to be abandoning the
industry altogether. Indiana
and Illinois about hold their own
Iowa shows marked decline. The
grain comes principally from the
states of later settlement, the
frontier states, where land a few
years ago was cheap.
The conclusion is inevitable
that with the passing of cheap
land there must also be a pass
ing of cheap wheat, unless there
shall be devised and adopted
some profitable system of inten.
sive cultivation, with decided in.
crease in yield to the acre. The
alternative will be importation,
duty free, from countries that
still have cheap land"

Of Late Assembly.

Gov. Shafroth Monday signed
senate bill 80, by senator Camp.
bell, designed to abolish q social
evil. The fight over this bill was
one of the sharpest of the ses.
sion. 1t is said that the men
against whom it was aimed. and
who can now be sentenced as
felons where before they could
only be adjudged Migrants, raised
fund of several Thousand dollars
to defeat it. But the women of
the state were insistant that it
be passed, and passed it was. It
is now a law, bearing Gov. Shat
roth's signature.
The governor also signed the
stock inspection law, which Gre
ates a board of stock inspection
and takes the power of caring
for range cattle it may think
starving, from the Humane so
ciety, unless the stock inspection
board fails 20 care for them. In
other words the stock inspection
board now CONTROLS the range
and the Humane society is mere
ly safeguard to prevent cruelty
to cattle. Senator Cary was
author of the bill.
The Drake-Jones bill allowing
the formation of drainage dis
tricts upon the same plan as irri-
cation districts was signed.
Western slope senators fought it
because they feared that power
companies on this side of the
range would tap the waters of
their streams. Other bills
signed were the bill to create a
board of examining architects,
the bill making the Colorado
School for the Deaf and Blind an
educational institution, the bill
creating a board of veterinary
examiners. the bill making the
surgeon of the penitentiary an
officer appointed by the governor,
and the bill to facilitate the
funding of floating Indebtedness
of municipalities.
