Some of Connecticut's newspapers profess to find in the letters of Mayor Thayer of Norwich nothing of value, and are inclined to class them as buffoonery. The real trouble with these newspapers doubtless is that each of the letters contains pregnant truths which are embarrassing to the dominant party. For instance:
 Why should not the people know where candidates stand on matters of supreme importance. so that they may tho better decide which of the candi-

GENERAL BOWERS
DIED LAST NIGHT
UNITED PRESS LEASED wIRR.I

Boston, Mass, Sept. 9.--United
States Solicitor General Lloyd w.
Bowers died at the Hotel Touraine
from complicated bronchitis today.
Bowers, who recently was mem
toned prominently for a seat on the
United States supreme bench, con-
tracted severe cough some time
ago which developed into bronchitis.
He was recuperating in this city.
Bowers was born in Springfield
Mass, 61 years ago. After his grad
uation from Yale in 1879, and from
Columbia University Law School in
1882 he was admitted to the bar. For
many years he was chief counsel for
the Chicago 6 Northwestern railway,
which position he held when called
into public life

consequence of which, such bids
have been rejected by the council
and much city work that should
have been well under way many
weeks ago is still among the list of
uncertainties and bids fair to go
over another season.
This proposition came up in an
aggravated and aggravating form at
the special meeting of The city coun-
Gil last evening, for the 'steenth
time during the present season.
when bids were opened for the con
struction of the North and South Sa-
lem sewers all of which bids were
found to be greatly in excess of the
estimates of Engineer Parrott and
were consequently rejected. In The
meantime the city recorder has been
instructed to invite further bids and,
upon motion of Alderman Eldridge,
w. H. Birdsell, a civil engineer os
ability, was appointed to Investigate
the proposition, check up the pro-
posed work and figures prepared by
City Engineer Parrott and report at
the next meeting.
When the matter came up at last
evenings session the council had re-
solved itself into a committee of the
whole and devoted considerable time
and expended much physical energy
in trying to arrive at a satisfactory
solution of the difficulty which is
rapidly assuming serious proper
tions In every case the bid of the
contractor was found to be greatly
in excess of the estimates of City En-
gireer Parrott, who placed the ag-
gregate cost of building the sewer
at approximately S62 and the
council got busy" and will try to
ferret out the trouble.

Cincinnati, o., Sept. 9.-Colonel
Roosevelt is visiting informally to-
day at the hime of his daughter,
Mrs. Nicholas Longworth. At Tor
renee station he left the train that
brought him to Cincinnati and was
driven to the Longworth home,
where he spent the morning.
Shortly before noon Roosevelt vis-
tied the grounds of the Ohio Valley
exposition, where he was guest at
luncheon. Later he spoke in the
Cincinnati music nall.
Hundreds of invitations were is
sued week ago for a reception for
Colonel Roosevelt at the Longworth
home this afternoon.
The triumvrate that rules the city
politically-George B. Cox, Garry
Hermann and "Rud" Hynicka-
were hidden to the assembly. What
the former president will say TO
them is causing much speculation
and scores of Cincinnatins planned
to time their minutes at the Long
worth house in order to be present
when the trio arrived.
When Roosevelts train passed
through Hamilton early today 5000
persons were waiting at the station,
The colonel was cheered cordially
upon the completion of a brief
speech from the platform of his car.
Roosevelt was asked If Cox's pres
ence at the reception would make
any difference.
You must not ask foolish ques.
tions," was the colonel's response.
Roosevelt also refused to discuss
the attitude taken by William r.
Hearst in recent editorials in which
he invited the colonel to come baol,

the first effort to hold a meeting of
the congressional investigating COM
mittee resulted in mo quorum. 3"
Representative DENLY, of Michigan,
Representative Mccall, of Massachu-

Utah, refused to attend the meeting,
which was called to order by Sena-
tor Knute Nelson, of Minnesota,
chairman, at 1904 o'clock this
morning.
1t is presumed that the absentees
remained away today to prevent d
quorum attending the session. Sen
ator Sutherland left the hotel where
the committee is meeting a short
time before it was called to order.
Mccall and DENLY could not be
found today. The other members of
the committee were present when
Chairman Nelson called the session
to order.

tee fails to get a quorum today the

Senators Flint and Root are not
in the city and Representative Ohm
sted will not reach here until to-
night. At present neither side is
able to secure a quorum.
The anti-Ballingerites threaten to
send the sergeant-at-arms out after
the absentees and compel their pres
ence.
If this can be done a quorum can
be brought together today. 1t is not
believed, however, that the move
will be resorted to.

he will leave New York at once for

Who is to blame?

VINO is TO blame?
Does the city engineer insist de-
terminedly upon making his esti-
mates for sewer work and other city
improvements too low for the con-
tractors to make a reasonable pro-
fit, or are the contractors for pro-
posed municipal Improvements try
ing to hold the city up?
That is the question that is agitat-
ing the minds of the majority of the
members of the city council, and the
people in general, when, in almost
every instance of the opening Of
bids for sewer, bridge and street
work, the bids of the contractors
have been in excess of the estimates

abuse. For during the days when
