These are the specific charges made
and reiterated by Councilman Fern
strOm. which viii be Investigated by
the special committee TO be appointed
this week by W. Mont. Ferry, president
Of the council, following a resolution
passed by the council last night.
4 Graft and steal.
In addition to the specific charges.
Councilman FernStrom said the Camp
bell contract had been nothing but a
graft and a steal from start to finish
and the board of works had been I'M
der the domination of Mr.. Campbell
all of the time. Mr.. Fernstrom, in re-
ply TO a question, said he had not re-
ceived any of the graft but he could
have received it.
The session of the council was a spe-
cial meeting called for the purpose OF
considering the final bill of the Camp
bell company, which called for approx
imateIy S1,100 for extra work and time
allowance in addition to the s4,5S1
appropriated by the city council as the
last and final estimate last December.
The story of the now famous S16,4O7
pipe which required 81, 900 worth OF
repairs before it could be used, was
threshed out in all its details and Frank
Christensen, clerk of the board of pub
lie works, presented an analysis of the
work from start to finish.
Accidentally it developed that ths
board Of public works has not enforced
Ure for delay in completing work
against any contractor in the last four
years In this instance, the board Of
works was in favor of allowing the
Campbell company TO escape with no
penalty when, according to the con-
tract the company should have paid for
1S9 days at $40 day. The city coun-
ell, however, was in favor of charging
for only 79 days and settlement on TINS
basis deducting only 1890 from the bill.
was about to be made by the council
when the Fernstrom charges were
made. This stopped all proceedings
and the members of the council re-
fused to take any action on the matter
until the charges of graft, stealing,
attempted bribery and cOllusion had
been cleared.
Council Orders Probe
The motion for the appointment OF
an investigating committee was made
by NJ. +. Mulvey and he was backed
BIZ J. w Mckinney and on a vote.
by the whole council Several Oppor-
tunities were given Mr.. Fernstrom to
withdraw his charges and care was
taken to get the charges in definite
form before the resolution for inVesu-
gtaion was passed
H G.. Mcmillan, chairman of the
board of public works, was questioned
regarding the contract, and he said
the Campbell company had done the
work absolutely according to specifi-
cations in every particular. This placed
the blame Tor the failure or the wooden
stave pipe on the city engineer, and
the statements of the councilmen were
to the effect that their investigation
had proved that the specifications were
at fault rather than the work Of the
contractor.
The charge of collision on the part
OF Mayor BranSford was made by Mr.
Fernstrom in connection with the sup
Elementary contract entered into by the
city and the Campbell company. Mr..
Fernstrom said that at the request of

Nearly all of the Central associa-

players to report on Monday or Tues

day the Keokuk men will roll from
their winter hunks to take part in the
springs activity on the diamond
All OF the new men signed by Belt
are expected in by Sunday or Monday,
but it is likely that several OF the old
timers will delay their arrival a few
days. Second baseman Thomas will
not come until the middle of the
month and for this reason the other
inielders will be given splendid op-
portunity of displaying their ability.
There are two big holes in the infield
to FIJI, namely. third and short, and
1t may take some keen work on the
part of Belt to make his choices from
among the youngsters. He has re-
ceived letters from several players,
who state they are in fine shape, but
all of these documents bear little
weight with the veteran, as the goods
must be produced when he is about.
In the event that vasbinder, the
outfelder who has been highly recon-
mended, and Hildebrand, who was
here last season, develop and display

the case, several changes not on the
