STIR OVER STATE HOUSE
FURNITURE CONTRACT

lined by Mr.. Pennewill was 1880.
Ellwood souder put in a bid for
everything Supervisor Pennewill said
the State House Commission desired,
including furniture. rugs. wall dec
orations. interior painting and dec
Grating, hardwood floors and vain
scoting and the highest bid of Mr..
Souder for all this work was $7,4s8.50.
How the state can save $4,000 by
giving the contract to Mr.. Ward is a
mystery, and many would like to see
the detailed figures of the Ward con-
tract made public.
Much interest has been aroused
since THE EVENING JOURNAL
printed on Saturday a story Of hsw
the Delaware merchants-five from
Wilmington and one from Dover
had been treated by the State House
Commission, and some interesting de-
velopments are being hinted at It is
probable that the State House Com
mission will have meeting to either
reopen the subject, so that the Della
ware merchants will be given a fair
deal and opportunity for all to bid on
the same specifications, or for the
Board TO at least try to make some
public explanation of its unusual ac-
tion.
There was no competitive bidding in
making the award. the contract being
given to a Philadelphian without any
body bidding against him for the
same articles. This is different from
the award for filing cases for the
State Library, however. the contract
being given to the Snead Company, of
Jersey City, after competitive bid
ding, the company being the lowest
bidder.
Senator Monaghan was out of the
city today and no statement therefore
could be had from him as to whether
he was quoted correctly as TO a $4,000
saving by the Ward contract.

been given an opportunity TO bid on
the specifications that Mr.. Ward bid
on. Hence. there are no figures with
which Mr.. Wards contract price can
be compared. At the same time, a
Wilmington merchant put in an esti-
mate TO do all the things he was told
were required in the way of furniture,
furnishings, decorating, etc. for
$7488.50, and this was for the highest
class work, too.
State Senator Thomas M. Monaghan
is quoted in The Morning News as
saying that the Commission will save
between $4,000 and $1,000 to the State
by giving the contract to Mr. Ward
Another local newspaper quotes a
member OF the commission, without
mentioning his name, as saying that
the Ward contract will mean a saving
of about $4,000. No announcement has
been made as yet by the State House
Commission of the Ward contract fig
ures OF details, nor has any statement
been issued as yet as to why the Del
aware merchants we're so discourteOus-
ly treated when 1t came to spending
the States money by not being given
a promised opportunity TO submit bids
on Identical Specifications.

Baker declared today that while the

Giants still are hopeful. I'VE are not

McGraw today. The fact that the

he did not know who operated it. The
court said witness knew, whereupon
Mustard replied, Leshem.
George Harris said he was in the
place and told Of fading the bet"
When he lost he said he paid the
money 20 Leshem.
Pauolman Walter Sherwin told of
watching the place on Saturday night
and OF seeing Clark patrolling the
street before the place. This was cor
roborated by Chief of Police Black
who conducted the raid. Chief Black
testified that when he entered the
room he started TO gather in the
money on the table when Harrison
protested. II was also stated by Chief
Black that he saw Leshem bring sew
eral men down the street and Clark
would let them in. Finally Clark en-
tered and locked the door.
The state then rested its case and
Mr.. Ball, for the defense. asked that
Clark be dismissed as there was no
connection between him and the
others shown. Following argument
the motion was granted.
Mr.. Ball then read the amended law
covering the case which he contended
was of later date than that under
which the case was tried.
Judge Cochran informed Mr.. Ball
that he was familiar with the law and
the defendants were held under bail
for the upper court.

ris. owner of the building where the
game was played, was called In an
swer 10 the courts question he said
he lived at the Y M. G. A. and rented

He had seen the man before but did
not know what he was going TO use
the room for. The court informed him
that he was liable under the law if
he knew that gambling was to be en-
gagged In there Assistant City So

objected. The court sustained the OBJ

VISITING LAD
WANDERS AWAY

There was considerable excitement
at Gordon Heights and Edge Moor on
Monday night, because of the disap-
pearance of an 11-year-old boy, from
Atlantic City, N. j., who is visiting
relatives by the name of limestone
there. The boy was sent to the Edge
Moore station and failed to. return.
A search was instituted and num-
ber of men, with lanterns, made a
detour of the woods at Edge Moor
Monday night, the belief being that
the boy had lost his way and met with
a mishap while wandering i'm the
woods. The searchers failed to locate
the lad. however, and it was not until
yesterday that he was found. An
aunt located him at the home of some
other relatives of the boy, who live
in Pennsylvania avenue, near the
Baltimore and Ohio Railroad.
