GOAL BIDS Be
INVESTIGATED
Water Board Did Not Award
Contract Last Night.

Unable to decide upon awarding
a contract for supplying 5000 tons Of
coal at the city's pumping station at
Runyon, the Board Of Water Com
missiOners last night referred the
three bids received to a committee
of the whole. Following a brief re-
cess the committee reported that it
had decided to refer the bids to the
power committee for investigation.
A report will most likely follow at
the meeting next week and in the
meanwhile G.. NJ. Petersen & Com
pany will continue to supply coal
under its old contract. The esti-
mate received from Patrick Convery
was too high. That received from c..
NJ. Petersen & Company was ad-
judged not in accordance with the
advertisement for bids and as there
was but 4 other, from George j..
Haney, the commissioners did not
feel disposed to settle without inves-
tigation.
The bid of Mr.. Haney, possibly the
lowest, follows: Agree to furnish
5000 tons of rice coal 2,240 pounds
per ton as follows: Coal from Lati-
mer mines or equal, S2.O5 a ton; coal
from Cross Greek mines or equal,
$3.50; coal from B. Meadow mines
or equal. S2.45; coal from Hazelton
mines or equal, S2.42; coal equal to
Upper Lehigh, $3.50; coal equal to
Sandy Run, $2.36; coal from Wy
oming mines, So, s2.35, $2.4O and
$3.50. Subjected to usual strike
clause.
The commissioners seemed oppos-
ed to the provision made with c. NJ.
Petersen & Company, that on account
of agreement with miners expiring
April l., 1912, the concern would be
obliged to make delivery prior to
April l, 1912. It's bid follows: Here
by agree to furnish in accordance to
proposal, 5000 tons of No. 2 buck
or rice coal, delivered at Runyon. A
free burning coal from Wyoming re-
gion at $2.13 a gross ton. Latimer
rice coal at s2.13 a gross ton; also
a free burning coal from Wyoming
region at s2.24 a gross ton. This
coal we will guarantee to not aver
age over 16 per cen in ash and will
prove to be one of the very best
steaming Goals mined. On account
of agreement with miners falling due
April 1, 1912, we will be obliged to
ask for delivery of this coal prior to
April /.
Patrick Convery's bid follows:
VIII deliver at Runyon, 5000 tons
of anthracite rice coal of 2,24O
pounds to the ton from the Latimer
mines for $3.50 per gross ton. The
proposal asked for bids on 5000 tons
Of anthracite rice coal. Delivery of
same to begin September /, 1911, and
as directed by superintendent. Quail
ity to be free burning steam coal,
and equal in heating qualities to Wy
oming, Cross Creek, Latimer, Hazel
ton, Beaver, Meadow, Upper Lehigh
Sandy Run.

BARBECUE BY
WILSON MEN
Held at Interstate Fair
Grounds, Trenton.

Trenton, Aug. 24:-More than
two thousand persons attended the
outing and barbecue given yesterday
at the Interstate Fair Ground by the
woodrow Wilson Association.
United States Senator James f.
MARITIME was the guest of the organ
i%zatton, coming here especially upon
the adjournment of Congress to at
tend the outing.
Some of the other prominent men
present were Frederick w. DonneIlv
elected yesterday by the new CITY
commission as the head of the mu-
nicipal government; City Commits
sloner George B. Labarre, Walter
Madden, who will the democratic
candidate for sheriff in this county
this fall; Frank S. Katzenbach,
whom Governor Wilson defeated for
the Gubernatorial nomination, and
Assemblyman Allan B. Walsh, of
this city, father of the Walsh Com
mission act. Governor Wilson did
not attend.
Senator MARITIME lauded Governor
Wilson for inducing Trenton to
adopt the commission form of gov
eminent, which he declared, makes
possible a government for and by
the people instead of by a chosen
few. He continued:
Governor Wilson has the courage
of a lion, the honesty of a Lincoln,
and he Is as clean as the noonday
sun. Politicians who imagined they
could use him have come to a reali-
zation Of these facts. The laws now
make 1t possible for the people of
the state to express their choice for
United States Senator. For TWEEN
ty-1Ye years l battled on the plat
form for the principle of election by
the people, and my election at
tanned without the expenditure of
a dollar, shows that the people are
awakening to their own.
Il was urged to &c before the peo-
pie and become a candidate last fall.
When nc one else took up the fight
l was persuaded to go In and
through the influence Of Governor
Wilson l was elected. l say now be-
fore high heaven and before you
that / was elected without the ex-
%penditure Of a dollar.
I'VE have in the United States
Senate sheep kings, wool kings, cop
per kings, n IN fact all sorts of
moneyed kings, and their main OBJ
1ect In life Is to swell their pile.
Although am but one of the 1owly
minority Of the upper house. yet
we few democrats manage to keep
the republicans busy at all times.
When I think q thing is a steal
do not hesitate to say so. l get
as much fun out of fighting them
as thy In calling me to order. I
realize that decorum is a necessary.
part of the Senate, but, God help me,
l can't be a clam.
Il almost split the eardrums of
my brother Senator from New Jer-
sey, Fank 0. Biggs, who is a
br%other-in-law of the Roeblings,
when l advocated a system Of trade
which would bring relief to hui
mainly. I will not support a policy
which makes ~millionaires on the one
and paupers on the other"
