for their homes at Delhi that he was
discovered. Then the foreman OF the
crew saw 9. bundle. by the side OF the

FIVE PROFITS ON
SCHOOL CLOCKS
Board Of Education Investigation OF
zerga Contract Has Interesting
Developments.

While the judiciary committee OF
tho board OF education. 10 which was
referred the Investigation OF. the in
stalation OF a set OF clocks in the
Cass school addition, has not prepared

Is definitely outlined
Although the bidders figured on

stalled. the set that is TO go in APP
parently fulhlls the specifications that
were drawn for the $4,000 clocks, al
though costing less than $1,000. it's
claimed.
Questions which the committee may
lay before the board are:
What Is the use OF having speci-
fications drawn by engineers getting
l-2 per cent for their work, il these
specifications viii at a set OF clocks
costing only one-fourth as much as the
set bid upon ?'s-se - '-Hs
why did not the supervisory force
of the school board learn of the
change. before the cheap clocks were
plaoed?"
q particular make of clock N the
first placer"
The investigation shows that the
board has spent a sum equal TO a large
percentage or the clock cost in en-
gineer's fee. supervision. inspection
and profits of contractors who had
nothing to do with the clock contract
proper.
The most Illuminating fact of all
that Is brought out In the investiga-
ton Is the. system OF snpeTimposeG
profits paid by the city under the pres
emit sub-contract system. Jacob Zerga
was the low bidder in this instance
for the entire heating and ventilating
contract, which also included electric
wiring, clocks and other things. He
turned the clock contract over TO the
electrical contractor. who, IN turn. got
bids from jewelry firm acting as
agent for a clock factory. The jewel
ers insisted that they name another
contractor to do the actual wiring.
In the bid as IL came from Zerga 10
the school board. therefore. there were
Ave profits. First, the clock company
made a profit on its product, then the
jewellers took an agents commission.
next the electrician named was 10 get
his bit for doing the work. Electrical
Sub-Contractor Templetou was next
with an added profit; and lastly the
main contractor, Jacob Zerga, added
his slice OF pie.
BY offering the smaller contracts
separately, men who are well in
formed state. the clock company could
have made a direct bid and saved all
the profits but one. Also. the bidders
would have had to furnish samples or
what they were selling and the board
would have known what IL was buying.
Instead of centralizing responsibility,
the present system seems 70 Danish 1t
entirely.
II is big question whether. IL an
expenditure OF $500 for clocks had
been proposed in the first place, II
would have been approved by the
board. The school inspectors would
have sought lower bids themselves in
stead of letting the contractor do so.
This is not the first time that the
city has had trouble over school
clocks, those for the Western High
school and for part of the Central
High school being always unsatisfac-
tory. Some of these clock bills are
still unpaid, Il is said.

AMERICANS AIDED

BLUEFlELDS. via wireless TO
Colon. Dec. 24.-With the last vestige
OF former President Zelaya's army
either killed or captured. nothing
stands IN the way today OF Gen. Es-
trada's march against Managua. Gen.
Fornos Diaz has already begun the
Managuan advance and unless Presi.

lists seems assured.
The completion of the humiliation
OF Zclaya's\ army came Wednesday
evening In another fierce battle be-
tween the revolutionists and govern
ment troops at Recreo. a few miles
north OF Rama.
The government troops which had
fed from in front OF Rama after the
fighting Of Monday and Tuesday. made
their last stand here. They were soon

be found that American soldiers OF for
tune played a leading part and we're
as responsible as any other one
agency for the sweeping revolution

The heroism displayed by John
Brainsford, a North Dakotan. Is but
sample Of the courage shown by
score OF other Americans, who In
spired the revolutionists TO such vaior
as is rarely displayed by Central Am
orleans.
Brainsford. thrice wounded in Mon.
days fighting at Rama, crawled into
Estradas camp last night with his
head bandaged with an American nag.
He had been left for dead on the field
and was one OF the two Americans re-
ported killed In this engagement.
Brainsford was sent on to Bluehelds
and is now being cared for by the
surgeons from the American warships.
Generals Gonzales. Castrillo and
Roberto were captured and arc now
in Bluehelds. They all admit that
Zelaya's cause has been crushed.
The condition OF the l 800 prisoners
captured shows that the government
troops fought against tremendous
odds They are so weak and ema-
ciated that many who are injured are
dying from disease For the last two
weeks the only rations OF the soldiers
were bananas and corn and these were
dealt out sparingly. Nearly half OF
the men were without shoes and their
feet were terribly cut In marches and
| flights over the stony roads.
United States Consul Moffatt was so
moved by the plight OF the men that
he Immediately cabled to his govern
