BID ACCEPTED FOR
PAVING 3 STREETS
VINCENT. LEWIS AND MATER
THOROUGHFARES To BE
IMPROVED,

The last step in the procedure to
secure the paving of Water Vincent
and Lewis streets from Main to Lee
was taken last evening when the
council accepted the bid of the War
rem Construction Co. and passed an
ordinance authorizing a contract bas-
ed upon the terms, OF the bid
Supt. Lonergan stated that he
would commence work Immediately
and that he would have the pavement
laid before the people were hardly
aware of the fact that he had be-
gun. He further stated that he would
complete Raley street this week and
tut his whole force on the new job &.
The bid of the Warren company,
the only one received, was to improve
the streets with bravel bitulithic in
accordance With the plans and speci-
fications for s1:45 per square yard.
The total price for the work complete
is $16.116.
Upon the recommendation of the
fire committee. the council last ev-
ening voted to take out $2500 insur-
auce upon the new auto chemical en-
gine.
The matter of taking out insurance
to protect the city from damages re-
sulting from injuries to laborers in
its employ was also discussed but no
action was taken. The discussion
grew out of the request of Grant
Walls for 1-3 days wages which
he lost, he says. by an injury to his
foot sustained when a sewer wall cav
ed in on him. Contractor Brown de-
clares he was laid off only l-2 days
without pay and that was during
Roundup week when the whole force
was laid off. The rest of his time
was allowed. he said. The matter was
finally referred to the city attorney
with power to settle.

LOWELL RESOLUTION
PLACED ON TABLE
COUNCIL CONSIDERS 1T USELESS
TO OPEN REGISTRATION
BOOKS.

Acting upon the written opinion Of
City Attorney Charles Carter, the
council last evening voted to lay up
on the table the Lowell resolution ad-
opted at the mass meeting Tuesday
evening and which requested the
council to instruct rne city recorder
to open up registration books The
city attorney cited the two laws. one
of which requires registration for a
general city election at least sixty
days before the election and the other
doing away with the necessity for
registration for a special election at
which initiative or referendum meas
ures are voted upon.
In view of these laws, the council
considered it useless to open up reg
istration books as today would be the
only day upon whicn voters could
register for the December 1 election
Members of the council expressed a
desire to comply with the rquest If
possible but deemed such a proceed
ure unnecessary.
Can BE Sworn In.
In the opinion of the city attorney.
voters who have not registered for
the general election by this evening
can still cast their ballot by being
sworn in as of old. He holds that
that section of the new registration
law doing away with rne swearing in
process is unconstitutional. There
il provision in the law which makes
this clause subject to the ruling of
the supreme court but Mr. Carter
holds that that part of the law is un-
constitutional until the supreme court
declares it is constitutional and that
il will never do, he believes. Il
don't think the lack of registration
VIII prevent anyone from voting" he
stated last evening.

NEW YORK. Oct 2-FoIlowing
the arrest of George Davis, who was
sought by federal officers for two
years, Assistant Federal District At
torney Wood issued statement today
said to have been made by Davis in
which the latter makes complete
confession OF participation in the Nc
Namara dynamiting conspiracy. and
reveals many new details in connection
with the affair.
Davis admitted that he made the
statement in which he said he was
partner and worker with McManl-
gal
For three weeks Davis was a pris-
oner in Louisville being held by De-
tective Foster who apprehended him
at Pittsburg. Davis according TO Fos-
ter, dictated the confession while en-
route to New York.
The confession duplicates Harry
Jones, secretary treasurer of the In
ternational association or Bridge ana
Structural Iron Workers. succeeding
S. Hockin, who succeeded John Nc
Namara.
The sensational assertion Is accred-
tied to Davis that he was selected as
head of an organization of is dyna-
miters and was assigned to blow up
every non-union building in the coun-
try. The plan was conceived. accord
ing to the statement. while the Nc
Namara trial was being held and was
intended TO convince the public that
the brothers were not dynamiters be-
cause the explosion would occur while
they were in custody. Their pleas OF
guilty upset the pfan.
The confession is voluminous one
and is said TO include many facts that
developed in connection with the Nc.
Namara trial. The prisoner. who serv-
ell sentence under the name of George
Mcdonald in the Massachusetts peni-
tentiary for completely in dynamiting
cases in Somerset, Mass, was wanted
as witness against the defendants In
