Explanation of Alternatives.

In a long argument with Representative
George Mr.. Donovan endeavored to ex-
plain some Of the alternatives in the
specifications. Representative George
termed them trick specifications.
They were drawn, said Mr.. Donovan,
by James NJ. Wood, then superintendent
of street cleaning. Mr.. Donovan told the
committee that the contract awarded to
Bean has been carried out literally on
every point.
A long explanation Of technical matters
in the specifications was entered into by
the deputy auditor for the benefit of the
committee. Mr.. Reed made the point
that the contract was tricky to the
in il which could call for any amount at
all and still give the award to Bean.
Would Bean have accepted his figure
OF 81 100 for the suburban contract? That
: is ridiculously low figure Is it not in
the province of the Commissioners to ac-
cept the bids on these outlying sections
Holds Commissioners Responsible.
II do not charge the committee Of clerks
with trickery-I charge the Commission
ers. If there was not an understanding
somewhere, there never would have been
bid of $4,000 for the main portion OF
the city and only 81, 200 for the great big
suburban section,

Bean be summoned as witness

FOR REFUND OF $18,431
United States Seeks Recovery
of Money Paid Out Through
Inadvertence.

Officials Of the Treasury Department
have paid out $1S.431.67 through mad
vertence. and today in the name Of the
United States by Acting United States
Attorney Proctor had recourse to the
District Supreme Court to recover the
amount On the plea that unless the
mistake is corrected the government may
be ''out'' that much money, Justice
Wright issued rule on Nathan S. FaW-
cett, receiver, in a case pending in the
court to show cause September II why he
should not refund the amount paid him.
In the petition OF the United States, II
is set out that Charles II. PeckWorth,
contractor for public building. had the
National Surety Company qualify on his
bond and later was adiudged bankrupt
in New York The bonding company filed
suit against Peckworth, and the balance
of money due under his contract was
paid to the receiver.
UNIFORMED of Pending Bankruptcy.
The petition states that neither the So
licitor for the Treasury nor Acting Unit
ed States Attorney Proctor was Informed
of the tendency of the bankruptcy pro-
ceeding, and it was not pleaded in the
case.
The fear is expressed that under the
law the trustee in bankruptcy is entitled
to the money. which is said to be still
intact in the hands of the court re-
ceiver, and If not transferred to him he
may have a claim against the Treasury

During the investigation at police head
quarters last night Miss Matthews stated
that she had known Miss Fisher for
seven years; that she had visited the
latter at Somerset in summer, and that
Miss Fisher had visited her home in
winter.
They arranged to come to this city, the
prisoner stated, and during the time they
were in the room in the hotel they in
dulged in intoxicants. Miss Matthews
declared she was forced to adopt strenu-
Gus means to quiet her companion, and
she did SO by putting a towel over her
mouth. In such d way she accounted
for the bruised condition.
Miss Fisher told her story to a police
matron at the hospital last night. She
stated that she came here at the sug-
gestion of Miss Matthews and blamed the
latter for her condition, declaring she
had induced her to drink to get her in a
helpless condition.

the guests was sick. The door was
opened by Miss Matthews, but it was

on the bed, he noticing the bruised condi-

sary to force open the door in order
to gain access to the room. Miss Fish

thought, suggested that more than one
