SEWER BIDS ARE
AWAY HIGH STILL
Commissioner Haarer Says Hell
Break Up Local Combine By
Getting Outside Bids.

Commissioner llaarer, OF the de-
partment OF public works. threw up
Lis hands when he had nnisned open
Ing bids for a number OF sewers. Wed.
Aesday morning, This was the third
set OF bids on these sewers, and the
prices were away up.
On the first set OF bids, the prices
were very low, but the contractors
have since unanimously raised their
inquired and the third set were very
little different from the second. only
one notable difference was to be
noticed. John =. Affeld, who was not
low bidder before on any OF the con-
tracts. had low bid on three at this
letting.
Il am going TO break up this CON-
biEation and shall reject these bids
again as | did the last lot" reclared
haarer. What | cannot understand
Is this--why did the council reject the
urst bids. which were so low? lf
should take the bids now, IL would
mean loss OF $4,000 from the first
figures and | cannot do that. | VIII
go TO Buffalo aud Cleveland and Tole-
do and see IL can't get some contract
Crs who will come IN here and bid
against these fellows who are bidding
So high"
In some cases, contractors had
raised their third bid even above the
second one. This was particularly the
case in regard 10 the Thirtyfourth-st.
sewer The second bid OF s5.70l was
considerably above the first bid and
yet the bid OF s5.745 sent in by John
A. Mercier, Wednesday morning, "
the lowest of the new lot. Other con-
tractors went sky high in their bids.
Bids on the other sewers were as
follows: Central-ave.. julius Porath,

with the prosecutions witness iL as.
serting that when the first SHOT was
fred. the doctor was already leaning
over the gate Of the prisoners box
All the testimony previously intro
duced went to show that the first shot
was fired just as Boyajian stepped for

to Detective Palmer and several 9TH
ers, that pierced Mrs. Boyajian's bat.
Neill insisted that the wife was not
within range OF the first shot.
The witness said that previous TO
the shooting. Boyajian sat with sort
OF wild stare in his eyes, which he
kept fixed on Gostanian almost con-
stantly. His appearance was such as

Prosecutor Van Zile objected on
the ground that the witness had no
previous acquaintance with the de-
fendant. Judge Connolly ruled the
question out and his action precipitat-

Judge Connolly refused to set aside
his ruling, holding that an opinion
based on 20 minutes observation CT
the defendant was not competent. The
defense took an exception.

BY MANAGER LONG At
HIS OWN REQUEST

the Diamond Because OF
Lack of Control

the best thing he could do would De 10
quit the diamond once and for all
Long tried to persuade Joe to change
his mind. but there was no chance.
The once great pitcher said that he has
had enough OF the professional diamond
and would retire 10 private life again.
this time for keeps He said that he
had tried everything he knew to bring
his control back, but he found that his
arm would not round into shape after
his long layoff.
Corbett is perhaps the most popular
player who ever dOnned san Fran

with him. thanks TO his ability as
player and his genial disposition. He
never kicked nor grabbed. but played
ball all the time. Nobody ever had
anything save a boost for Joe. Seldom
indeed does a player quit the game
under such favorable conditions
In his day COrbett was the king Of
all pitchers. Going back to the world

country on fire with his phenomenal
work and. Incidentally. proved one Of
the factors that brought home the pen
nant to that club, which is still looked
upon as one of the greatest baseball
organizations the world ever knew.
