LOWEST BIDDERS PAVING
BRICKS MEET WITT FAVOR,

About thirty samples of the James
town Paving Brick Company's product
are today in the hands of Williani
A. Howell, engineer of the street de-
partment of the Board of Works. The
samples will be tested and If found
satisfactory contracts may be awarded
the The jamestown concern
was the lowest bidder for the paving
of a certain street. The samples sub
mitted by the company met with the
requirements of the city, but 10 make
sure that the brick in bulk would be
of the same quality as the samples Mr..
Howell went to jamestown last week
to inspect the company's output and
examined the b~rick-paved streets in
that city.
Mr.. Howell returned to Newark late
Saturday, and today said hat the
jamestown streets, paved with the
local brick, seemed in every way sat
isfactory. Some of the brick has been
laid for as long as eighteen years, and
was still in good condition. He in
spected the paving brick plant and
picked out about thirty bricks for test
ing in this city.
'Oftentimes the samples sent by a
company are better than the shipment
that follows and Mr.. HowelPs pur-
pose in going there was to select the
brick right from the kiln, as only in
that way can the quality be deter,
mined.
Mr.. Howell says that he was great
Iy impressed with the condition of the
brick streets in jamestown and is of
the opinion that the brick made by
this company is of the best quality.

GOMPERS MAKES
WARM RETORT To
DETECTIVE BURNS
Latter Believed That Organized
Labor Would Disown Dyna.
mite Suspects.

NEW YORK, May s.-w. j. Burns,
the detective who trapped the men ao-
: cuseo OF ~dynamiting the Los Angeles
Times building on October l, 1910, is IN
town. In talking of his latest feat he
expressed surprise at the attitude of
Samuel Gompers-who retorts by call
tng Burns a liar-and cleared way sew
eral mythical tales that have grown out
of the case.
These arrests have been made, and
that's enough for now" he said.
The detective added that he bad been
"astounded" by the statements Samuel
Gompers. head of the American FEEDER
alton of Labor. made after the arrests.
Gompers had talked about the assas-
sination of organized labor and cred
-ited the roundup of the dynamiting
suspects to a huge conspiracy"
Astonished Mt ompers
What l thought was" said Burns,
'that as soon as an outline of the clear
cut evidence against these men was
made public the men would be dis
owned by organized labor; that the
unions would at least get in and help to
establish their guilt or Innocence. And
here comes Gompers calling it a frame
up Whatever he knew when he said
that, he knows the truth now, for he's
been Investigating in Indianapolis,
where James j. Mcnamara, seer tary o.
the union, was arrested and where the
union headquarters are.
Burns said that there was no truth
in a story sent out from Los Angeles
that McManigal vas a stool pigeon in
his employ to get evidence of dynamit-
ing that would stick. He himself never
saw McManigal until the arrest, he
said, and had had 10 dealings with
him. A yarn to the effect that a woman
had told him a lot of helpful things
Burns also declared to be untrue.
And I'd like to say, too" went on the
detective, that the charge that ]. j.
Mcnamara was kidnapped from In
dianapolis is ridiculous"
Mr.. Burns added that one of Nc
Manigal's last jobs, according to his
confession. was the blowing up of the
City Hall tower at Springfield, Mass.
Meanwhile Samuel Gompers. when
seen in Washington concerning Burns's
statements regarding him, said:
Gompers's Hot Retort.
IF William j.. Burns has said that I
am satisfied hat the men indicted are
guilty as charged. or that there was
not a 'frame-up' or plot responsible for
their arrests, he lies as he has lied in
everything else connected with this
case.
II have investigated the entire case,
and ! m more convinced than ever
that there is a frame-up and a pot be-
hind their arrests. Burns has lied
through the entire case"
Los Angeles also contributes it's bit,
TO the effect that when ortie E. Nc
ManigaI appeared in court he testified
that j. B. Mcnamara had told him that
I'VE prominent San Francisco men had
furnished most of the o for tho
carrying out of the alleged plot against
the Los Angeles Times.

BUILDING WORK HELD UP;

A queer muddle was uncovered today
when It was learned that there was
some controversy between the brick
layers union n the contractors who
are remodeiing the house on the south
east corner of Market and Washington
streets.
There are as many opinions concern
ing the affair as there are parties to
the controversy.
The house was leased to a Mr.. Chase,
a merchant tailor Of New York, who
awarded the contracts piecemeal 10

Samuel Goldsmith, of New York, has
the contract for the upper part of the
house." as George L. Peterson, who is
putting in the vault lights, puts 1t.
