SCENTS COMBINE
AMONG SEWER MEN
Bids On Readvertising of Jobs Shoot
Skyward and Council Committee
Is Suspicious.

A sudden reversal of the condition
which has usually prevailed when the
city readvertised for bids on con
tracts occurred Tuesday morning
when the second bids were opened fol
five sewers. Former bids on these
sewers aggregated S61,S12 SO, and the
second sets of bids amounted 30 $40,
sol 16. the city losing nearly $4,000
by the readvertising.
1t is the intention of the council
committee 10 reject the second bios
and to ask for bids a third time. In
case II develops that bids are again
high, the council may again take NJ
the-aaestieH- having the-ctty- ac
the work by the day labor plan.
Talk OF combination of sewer con
tractors to hold up the city was rife
about the city hall after the bids
were opened Tuesday morning. This
was because Of the fact that IN -four
cases out OF five, the low bidder was
the same. The other case was the
Central-ave. sewer. on which John
Ginzel was formerly low bidder, aid
julius Porath second lowest. Porath
gets The lowest bid this time at $4,000
more than at the first advertising
Ginzel came before the committee
frankly. when the former bids were
up for consideration, and admitted
that he had made a mistake and bid
too low. The aldermen were willing
to show mercy to him and let him
off. but the committee expected to get
lower bids on all the other jobs
The new bids show an increase Of
about so cents per lineal foot all along
the line.

Judge Afford W. Cooley has
succeeded E. A. Mann as judge
of the Sixth district with head
quarters in Alamogordo. A de-
termined effort was made to
have the Supreme Court change
the districts in such way as to
bring about the necessity of
moving headquarters from Ala
mogordO, but the Court decided
that headquarters should remain
in our city.
A number of Otero county
people were at Santa Fe and
worked hard to prevent the re-
moval of headquarters.
The assignment of Judge Coo
ley to this district meets with
the approval of our people.
After q spirited contest on the
part of Ration, the fight for the
new Seventh judicial district
headquarters is over. Late
Thursday afternoon, the New
Mexico supreme court in special
session at Santa Fe, decided
unanimously in favor of Socorro
as the headquarters Of the new
district. Judge Merritt Q. Me-

COOLEY NAMES
DOWNS CLERK
The Genial Charley viii Hang
on for a while Longer.

Judge Afford W. Cooley an
nounced to The News Monday
the appointment of Charles p.
Downs as clerk of the Sixth dis
trict United States court.
This appointment will not on
ly meet with the approval Of the
attorneys throughout the terri
tory, but with the people gener-
ally.
The News does not believe
that there is q more popular man
in the territory than Mr.. Downs.
The appointment, however, was
made ON merit. Mr.. Downs has
held the Office under Judge Ed
ward A. Mann and has given
universal satisfaction. Promin-
ent attorneys who were in at
tendance at the late term OF
United States court, told The
News that there was not a better
kept set of records in the terri
tory than those in the district
clerks Office in this city.
Judge Cooley has announced
the appointment of w. H. Ungles
as court reporter. Like Mr..
Downs, Mr.. Ungles was an ap.
pointtee of Judge Mann. One
of Mr.. Ungles' strongest recon.
mendations was from Judge
Pope, of Roswell.

parent defeat had his support
been anyways near perfect.
One thing must be taken into
consideration when comparing
the Fort Stanton aud Alamo
teams. The former is composed
of seasoned men from the fort,

Gallagher is an old hand at the

pitched for El Paso. The team
has been in the field all summer
and have their team work down
to a nicely. On the other hand,
the locals have played but few
games. None of the boys are on
a salary and until recently have
practiced but little.
With q little more practice
and some head work, they will
be able to clean up anything In
this section.
AS a catcher, Bill Nelson has
but few superiors. He rarely
fumbles a ball that comes within
reach and when it comes to
sticking them over to second he
is there with the goods.
Saturdays ball game between
Fort Stanton and Alamogordo
was a sad disappointment to the
hundreds Of Alamo rooters who
packed and jammed the grand
stand and bleachers.
The local team went up in
the air" soon after the game be-
gan and were never able to make
a descent.
In the sixth inning with Ala
mo at the bat and the score
standing 4 to 0 in favor of the
visitors, the captain of the Fort
Stanton team objected to a deci-
sion of Umpire Andrews and
withdrew his men from the field.
A disgraceful row started but
was nipped IN the bud by the
officers present. In the mean
time, the umpire had awarded
the game to Alamo on account
of the visitors leaving the
grounds.

that the judge of a court alone
