/ See FRANK KLAUS
Middle Weight May Be Matched
to Meet Winner of Papke-
Thomas Bout

Frank Klaus, the sensational Pitts
burg middle weight, is the latest east
ern pugilistic prodigy to claim the
attention of the local fans. Ever since
his recent six round draw with Stanley
Ketchel in the Smoky City, klaus has
been very much in the limelight, but
strangely enough he has contented him
self with standing on his laurels ever
since.
According to the latest dispatches,
Klaus has Joined the holdout club. He
wants fat guarantee before he will
consent to come to this city for a
fling at Papke or Ketchel. The winner
of the Thomas -Papke battle will be the
man TO send in against the Pittsburger,
provided, of course, that he can be per-
suaded to make the trip to San Fran
cisco.
Louis Blot, the Metropolitan club
promoter, is the man who is supposed
to have Klaus under contract to appear
here, but according to the latest, Klaus
will not consent to cross the continent
and fight on the terms which Blot has
suggested. The SO called eastern won
der demands $4,000 for his end and
| three round trip tickets tossed in as a
sort of teaser.
If he learned nothing else in his
the useful knack of going up stairs
after the big money. 1t is almost a
cinch that he never received more than
$1,000 for his bit around Pittsburg, so
when he asked for $4,000 to bow before
the local fans, all the promoters threw
their hands skyward and shouted for
the police.
In, the east, they say Klaus is a
wonder, but we will have to be shown
before we believe anything like this.
So many of the eastern wonders hate
Travelled west only to toss bloomers
that the fans are very. skeptical at the
present time and they want to see for
themselves before they will believe
anything out of the ordinary. Now it's
up to Klaus to make good.
| Klaus has fought six round draws
with Ketchel, Papke and Thomas with
in the last, year. On paper. he looks
like another Leach Cross or Packey
Mcfarland. or, in other words, an east
ern hot house plant who has been very
carefully nursed and boosted along for
| the purpose of hooking something big
in the shape, of a San Francisco purse.

Question if Competitive Bidding
Provision of Charter Has
Not Been Violated.
OFFICIALS QUlZZED
In FORMAN MATTER
Asked to Explain Why Missing
Auditor Did Not Make
Monthly Reports.

The Essex County grand jury at its
session late yesterday afternoon
broached a subject of vital Importance
to the Taxpayers OF this city.
The inquiry had to do with the pur-
chase by the Board of Works of seven
automobiles for the use of that depart
ment. AS to one of such automobiles,
no criticism seems to attach, but a
different impression prevails as to the
others
Under the city charter purchases to
the extent of $500 and over must be
made as therein prescribed, one of the
provisions of which is competitive bid
ding after due publication
In the case of the six Maxwell run
abouts this requirement was not fol-
lowed Clerk Greathead. of the Board
of Works, was unexpectedly called
upon for an, explanation
1t appears t,at the runabouts were
purchased fo7 the sum of s49S per car.
This, 1t is claimed, removed the neces-
sity for competitive bidding and adver-
tising. but did it? If the contract for
the purchase of these runabouts were
made at one time the individual price
Of $49S would not govern, but the ag-
mark the duty of the city officials The

details of the transaction.
,Forman Probe.
Those who appeared before the grand
jury were City Clerk James F. Connel-
ly, City Comptroller J. Henry Bachel-
Ter, City Treasurer Albert T. Guenther,
City Expert Theodore c. Hewson,
William f. Greathead, clerk of the
Board of Works; Alderman Jerome T.
Congleton, chairman of the Common
Council finance committee of 1909. and
Alderman Emil Wohlfarth, chairman Of
this years finance committee.
One after another these men were
called and asked why Forman had not
been compelled to make the monthly
reports required by law. The inquisi-
tors wanted to find out whose duty It
was to compel the auditor to file his
report
City Clerk Connolly told the jurors
that he had often requested Forman to
make his reports, but had never sue
ceeded in getting one from him. The
city charter makes it mandatory for
the auditor to furnish monthly reports,
but outside of a promise to furnish
them, Mr. Connolly said, he had never
been able to get anything from Mr..
Forman.
The statements given the grand
jurors by the other, city officers were
along the same line-that Fornan had
always promised to make reports, but
had never done so.
City Expert Hewson said he had
never made an examination of For
mans books, as his instructions were
only TO look after the books in depart
ments receiving and disbursing city
money. No money is handled In the
auditors office, he told the jury.
