ingness or fear to testify for some
reason,
e. c. Hughes, one of Hanford's s
counsel, wanted this part of the
testimony stricken out. 1t was
an affront to the people of Seat
tie, he said, that this indictment
against their honesty should be
allowed in the records. 1t was
at this that Mccoy made his di-
rect accusation.
At least one member of a
business mems association" he
said, had conferred with all the
members of the committee about
excessive receivership matters
charged against Judge HaDford. !"
Complaint had also been made
by a speaker at public dinner
of this association.
The association, or a commit
tee, got together and 1t was prac-
tically arranged to employ an at

present to this committee.

SAYS
REPORT Of
BOARD
ENGINEERING BOARD. MAKES
COMPLETE REPORT ON
HEADWORKS OF GREEN
RIVER.

The engineering board made its
report today on the headworks of
the Green river gravity water sys-
tenn and the thing that stands out
in 1t is that the original plans
made by Engineer j. H. Preble,
under the first Lawson admins
tration, were a job of complete
bungiing.
In the first place, the engineer
ing board says the original esti-
mate on quantities of $65,929 was
a poor guess. On the engi-
neer's own figures the amount
should have been $4,000.
But this was not the worst.
There was so much left out that
should have been put in and so
many changes were made later
that instead of the International
Contract company pulling out
$65,929 the bill will be $229,873
on authentic estimates already
Furnished, besides $26,512 in ex-
tras turned in by the contractor
and 100000 the city will have to
spend itself afterward to do things
the engineer never thought of
but which will have to be done.
Again the engineering board
condemns the engineering in put
ling straight dam across the
river when 1t should have been
curved upstream to brace Itself.
Another objection is that the in
take is at the wrong angle and will
block up with refuse.

charges against Judge Hanford
was made by Congressman Mccoy
from the bench late yesterday aft

McCoy's sensational accusation
resulted from the testimony given
by Charles #. Peterson, a timber

Peterson testified ne had seen
Judge Hanford drunk on several
occasions, and related three in

as to one of these occasions by
w. HI. Hyatt, barber.
Peterson then stated that he
had given his information unwill-

II told the committee testi-

whose testimony would be of
more weight than mine, who
could give the same evidence as

Rainier club, said, but knows
that Judge Hanford has been
drunk time and time again.
Mccoy brought out the fact
that Peterson was finally induced
to testify after he had been told

Shut Out Haverford in Opening
Game of the Season.
fRv Telegraph 10 The Tribune.


New Haven. Conn, March 16-ln mo
opening game Of the season on their nome
grounds here. the Yale soccer team de-
feated Haverford to-day by the score OF Z
to 0. The match was exciting and closely
contested throughout and the shutout came
as a surprise to the fast Haverford team
which had expected an easy victory over
the local contingent
The Yale men played hard throughout
the contest, especially in the first hail.
when they succeeded in keeping Haverford
from scoring, although the latter had
powerful advantage with the wind behihd
them. Both goals were scored by cay
captain of the Yale team, an all American
forward and his playing was spectacular.
The first goal was scored on the kick-or'
when Gay got the ball and dribbled through
the entire Haverford eleven. Gay kicked the
next goal in the second half. when Yale
was given kick in the penalty area That
the score was not greater was due to tho
stubborn defence of both teams and the
exceptional work of the goal keepers, Dick
enson, in particular saving many goals.
