1ators held a meeting and finally six men
were chosen 10 act as spies. These men
are under instructions TO accept money

tons such that when the money Is pre-
scented they viii have sufficient evidence

The first charge OF undue influence
came late yesterday afternoon when the
assertion was made that Representative

Maturity q Men and Women

II is supposed that a man reaches
the maturity of his reasoning powers
and mental faculties at the age of 2S
while woman is mature In mind at
10. This brings man to the pleasant
and satisfying conclusion that the no
bier and more perfect and splendid a
thing is, the slower it is TO arrive at a
state of maturity. Women may reply
that brain matter has no sex and that

OBJECTIONABLE MEASURES.

Three bills are now before the

third Charter Bill House Number.
These three bills are practically the

and an offer is submitted 70 the city
permitting the contractor or city the
right to use such patent, then the
Board of Local Improvements must
prescribe this Improvement
The present law tscction 74D pro-
vides that where Improvements arc
TO be constructed, to be paid for by
special assessment and the contract
exceeds $4,000 the contract must he
Jet by competitive bidding
The objections to the proposed hill
ARE many and strong. All persons
Efavoring open competition. and the
awarding of public improvement: con.
tracts to the lowest bidder are op-
posed to these bills because the
owner of a patent could receive for
the construction OF an Improvement
(either for the product as constructed
or for royalty by permitting others to
construct) any price which he might
choose to prescribe.
Boards of Local Improvement or
any other corporate authority could
order that one particular man or firm
make all the Improvements that
were TO he paid for by special asscss
ments and all contractors not owning
this particular patent would be pre-
vented from entering into cOmpeti-
zion.
Thus there would be no competi-
lion and consequently tho contract
price would be increased.

exists the chance of
increases and this means

President Taft was in conference TO

which would expedite the passage of

1t is conceded tonight by several
Republican leaders that it would be
impossible to pass a rule restricting
amendments to the bill until some
time next week. and then only by
granting demands made by a number
of members that certain important
schedules be open to amendment.
