COAL DEALERS PARE BIDS
DISTRICT SUPPLY ORDERED
AFTER THIRD ATTEMPT.
1000 Saved in Comparison With
Last Years Prices-Awards
of Contract Made.

a saving of nearly $1,000 has accrued
to the District by the action OF the Com
missioners in twice rejecting all bids Tor
coal and readvertising for proposals
This follows similar action taken In the
case of bids for school desks, by which
a saving of about $500 was effected.
When the bids were first opened the
pl ices were not considered acceptable and
new bids were asked. After these bids
had been opened the attention OF the
Commissioners was invited by a Wash
ington dealer to the fact that the fig
ures were still in excess of prices sub
mitted to the general supply committee.
which receives bids for supplies for the
federal government.
This statement being verified by exami-
the third time proposals were asked.
As result 1t was announced this
morning by Commissioner West. the con-
tracts were today awarded for the entire
coal supply, with the exception OF one
small item, for which bids are again to
be asked, at prices lower than we're paid
last year by the District government.
kinds of coal were J. Edward Chapman,
w. W. Griffith. J. p. Agnew. & Co. and
Robert Murphy. The contracts cover an
expenditure for fuel of S164 .61O.SO.
The result of this action has been that
the coal will be purchased this year at
a saving of $6.S9S over the sum expended
last year and of 2,S92 over the lowest
committee. The probability is that when
the award lis made for the item which
is still unsettled the saving will be over
1900 and 5000, respectively.

PNEUMONIA KILLS INJURED man
CORONER TO FIND OUT HOW
BoARMAN GOT HURT.
Formerly Cook at Fort Myer and
seventy-T Years Of Age.
Mystery in His Death.

William Roarman, seventy-three years
Of age, formerly cook at Fort Myer,
died this morning at the Government
Hospital for the Insane.
His death occurred under such condi-
tions that Coroner hewitt ordered the
body removed to the morgue in order that
an autopsy might be performed. Deputy
Coroner Glazebreok will perform the au-
topsy late this afternoon. An inquest
may be deemed necessary.
Coroner hewitt said this afternoon that
Boa rman. who was sent to the hospital
only two days ago as an INDECENT patient,
had been under treatment in Georgetown
University Hospital about four days prior
to the time he was transferred to the
asylum. His death, it is said, was due
to pneumonia, contracted subsequent to
receiving an injury. several Of his ribs
having been fractured.
When or how he sustained the injurie!
Coroner hewitt said this afternoon he had
not learned. It may be that he was as
saulted or injured accidentally.
The injury was received before the pa
tient was admitted to the Georgetown
University Hospital. The coroner thinks
1t may have had something to do with
the condition of his mind.
William B. Watts, a son-in-laW, lives al
Fort Myer. He has been advised OF the
death of Mr.. Boarman. Detective Cox
has been assigned by Inspector Board
man to investigate the death.

PlOW PIT HEARING PROPOSED
CoNMISSIONER WEST NOT SAT.
IsFIED TO DROP MATTER.
Still Believes Railroad Company Is
Defiant Of Law, But Would Con-
suit Citizens Before Acting.
J. N. Sutton. Jr.

Public hearing before the Commission
ers on the proposed removal Of the street
railway plow pit at North Capitol and
7 streets, which residents Of the vicinity
want moved farther out North Capitol
street. was recommended by Commission
er West to the District board today.
Until after that investigation is con-
cluded, he further suggests the Com
missioners will not notify the railway
company that all of it's overhead wires
lation of law.
moval of the plow pit. Commissioner
West moved before the Commissioners a
few days ago that the railway company
be notified that the overhead wires south
on street must be removed within sixty
days. This motion was approved by
Commissioner Macfarland, but II was re-
ferred by Engineer Commissioner Judson
to Capt E. M. Markham, assistant IN
charge Of highways, for further report.
THE plow pit, North Capitol street line
between 8 and T streets, is. as stated. IN
Vests motion located about ninety feet
south of street, having been installed
In that position in 1885,, Capt. Markham
says. Its location, while not in literal
accordance with the text OF the law
quoted in the preceding Endorsement, was
doubtless selected in order to keep said
pit a reasonable distance from the inter-
section Of North Capitol and T streets. SO
as to sufficiently accommodate vehfcular
traffic turning east and west from North
Capitol into 7 street or south from I
street into North Capitol street without
danger or Inconvenience.
-"It is apparent that its location exactly
at or near to the intersection of these two
streets would be In the line Of travel, to
the considerable inconvenience and proba-
BILE danger to the cross traffic referred to.
It is therefore believed that the require
ment of the railroad to make literal COM
pliance with the law would be inadvisable
and unwarranted, and that the plow pit
should remain in it's present location until
1t Is finally moved to Michigan avenue, or
until further legislation be secured to re-
quire its removal to some intermediate
point
Following this report Commissioner
West today moved that lin view of the
statements made In the second indorse-
ment Capt. Markham's reporO, and
without abandoning my opinion that the
overhead construction is not in accord
ance with law, the request of the citizens
of the section for a public hearing be
granted and that the railroad officials be
invited to attend said hearing in order
that the various phases Of the situation
may be presented to the Commissioners
for their determination, the time of the
hearing to be fixed by the secretary of
the board and all parties in interest to be
notified

POSED MARRIAGE.

cago Physician.

CHICAGO. July 17.-The Tribune today
prints a story in which 1t is asserted
that it was not love for poor. unknown
Viennese girl that caused the suicide of
Baron Oskar Rothschild in his home in
Vienna, five days ago. The refusal of his
father. Baron Albert Rothschild, to per-
nit his marriage to Olga Menn. the
daughter of Mr.. Rudolph Menn. Chi
cago physician, is ascribed as the cause
for the act
1t is declared that the young couple be-
came acquainted after the young man
had fallen ill in Chicago about six weeks
ago, while making tour of the world.
He was attended by DR.. Menn, who
later invited him to his home. Mrs.
Menn and her daughter are declared to
have gone to Europe two weeks ago. The
refusal Of his father to consent to the
alliance is given as the reason for his
sons dependency and subsequent sui
eide.

NEW PATHS INTO PARK
District Commissioners Pro.

FOR THE WALKING PUBLIC
Entrances From 18th Street and
Connecticut Avenue.

Mr.. Mcfarland, President Of Board
Of Control, in Favor Of
Band Concerts. -
FOR THE WALKING PUBLIC
ADDING TO ACCESSIBILITY

In the development OF their plans for
making Rock Creek Park more accessible
for persons without vehicles the District
Commissioners have under consideration
proposition 10 construct new paths and
roads giving shortcut entrances 10 the
heart of the reservation.
Engineer Commissioner Judsen said to-
day that two new entrances TO the park
have been suggested and that the details
OF the work. as to cost and amount cf
labor necessary in grading and making
other improvements, are being worked
out.
One of the proposed entrances would bs
from 10th street extended at the new
Piney Branch bridge. The valley which
the 18th street bridge crosses Is part OF
Rock Creek Park and there are paths
and roads leading to the center of the
park. At present there is no way to get
from the street, on the bridge level, to
the valley. and the plan Is to construct
along the east side of the south end
of the bridge a slopinS read, with foot
paths on the side. AS 18th street, when
improvements under way are completed,
will be one Of the principal suburban
thoroughfares, 1t Is believed the entrance
in question would prove popular. 1t would
not be far from the 18th street care line,
and therefore convenient to pedestrians.
and very convenient for automobiles and
horse drawn vehicles.
Entrance From Connscticut Avenue.
A second entrance. which has been sug-
gested primarily for the benefit OF per-
sons not owning vehicles, would be from
Connecticut avenue extended at Cleve-
land Park to the kingle road and thence
into the park. The avenue crosses Kiln
gle road on a bridge a short distance

which will make the park more accessible
and more popular Commissioner Mac
farland says.
The suggestion that band concerts be
held In Rock Creek Park was approved
by Commissioner Mcfarland. president
of the board of control of the park, to-
day. He added that he favors early con.
sideration of the latter by the board.

Smell, banker of Clinton, who was cut
off with $50 in the will.
The first trial resulted in a disagree

mend Reductions

The tariff conferees today agreed to
reduction Of 3 per cent In the Dingey

ule had been agreed upon. All of these
were reductions. the lower duty on

ing made on fabrics weighing four
ounces or over to the square yard and
composed of cotton warp. reduction
of 5 per cent was also made in the duty
yarns valued at ~ cents a pound or
less.
The duty on tops. which was finally de-
cided upon. was made in accordance with

the conference committee has disposed of
the entire wool schedule, the other duties
agreed upon being the same as those
