CLARK AVOIDS DUTY.

Customs Men He Has Antiques.

NEW YORK, May 3.-Former United
States Senator William A. Clark of Mon
tana. whose 9TH avenue residence is point
ed out by the sightseeing guides as the
costiiest in the metropolis. has finally
convinced the United States government
that some of the panels with which he
has adorned his mansion are over CEN

When Mr.. Clark brought several Louis
XVI jardiniere celvet panels to this
country year ago the customs men
made him pay 90 per cent duty on the
5000 valuation. He appealed to the
board OF appraisers, and after producing
many experts who testified that the pan
els were over 100 years old he convinced
the authorities that the panels were AR
tistic antiques within the meaning of
the present tariff law, and therefore ex-
empt from duty.

Party's Supreme Test.
1.-The supreme test which the demo-
cratic party has now to respond to is
this: is it ready to give the citizens
of New Jersey final guarantees OF dis
interested justice?'
The President declared during the
day that it was not his function to
make specific suggestions about jury
reform. After his conference with
members of the legislature, however,
he was consulted by the state party
leaders, and it was generally agreed
to submit to a conference of the legis-
lators next Monday a compromise pro-
posal which would provide for a com
mission in each county TO act with the
sheriff in drawing jurors SO that the
one would act as a check on the other
These commissioners would be chosen
by the chancellor of the state.
Though he made no reference to leg
islative policies pending in Washing
ton. the President indicated that the
protests being voiced against the tar
in bill were those of the special in
terests and not the masses.
Some of my fellow citizens and some
of their colleagues i'm Washington city"

Matters will be greatly facilitated, how

been given and work has been done in
many ways toward eliminating street &C.
cidents here. The result of this work
however. has not reached anything like
its maximum. it is believed. Surprise has
been expressed in some quarters thai
greater interest has not been taken ir
life and property.
Reason for Lack Of Interest.
The main trouble is" said one man
who has seemed particularly interested.
that people don't bother to take an in
terest in such a movement until some
one near and dear to them Is injured or
killed. Then they wonder why some one
rasn't done something before II every
one could feel what those people have
felt who have had dear ones hurt then
every one would be willing to lend a
hand Immediately
The two big factors in eliminating
street accidents. IL is said. are the educa-
ton of the public and i'm the enforce
ment of the laws. Without both these
things being done. those interested say,

SUPERVISORS GET READY TO ASK
FOR BIDS FOR CONCRETE
STRUCTURES.
PLANS TO be SUPPLIED
BY COUNTY ENGINEER
Old Custom Of Allowing Each Con-
tractor to Bid on His Own Plans Has
Been Abolishsd-standard Type Of
Bridge to b Built-List 20 Be Re-
built.

Bids will be asked for soon by the
board of supervisors for the yearly
contract for bridges, and the list that
is to be submitted will include six and
possibly seven bridges. and perhaps
one or more culverts. AS has been the
custom for several years the bids asked
for will be on reinforced concrete
bridges. The contract to be let will
probably be rather smaller than any
similar contract for several years.
The employment OF a county engi
neer is to make radical change in the
method of letting the bridge contract
Heretofore it has been the custom &c
let each contractor submit his own
plans. and bid on those plans. The
county engineer is now preparing
standard plans for county bridges
adaptable to any size of bridge. The
contractors, instead OF bidding on their
own plans, will all be asked to bid on
the county's plans.
List Of Bridges to Be Built.
Six bridges have been included in
the list for which bids will be asked
These bridges are:
No. 1902, over the Iowa river at Lee
Grand, l1S feet long.
Nos 206 and 2o7, bridges on the H
E. Clark farm in Bangor township, tc
be replaced by one ninety-foot bridge
No. BOG, fifty foot span in Liberty
township.
No. 14o6, thirty-foot span north
Of Rhodes.
No. 1915. thirty foot span in State
Center township.
The bridge over the river at LeGrand
will be reconstruction work. The old
piers are to be refaced with concrete
but the old piers and superstructLrC
will be torn down and rebuilt.
The two bridges. Nos. POS and 207
on the Clark farm In Bangor township
are both to be removed The road is to
be changed, and instead of crossing the
creek twice. within a few hundred
yards, it will cross the creek but once
At that crossing new ninety-foot
span is to be built
1t is possible that the supervisors
will ask for bids that one or more
small bridges and one or more culverts
While these bridges are built by the
contractor, if the contract for them Is
let, the county will be building similar
bridges This move is thought of sc
as to determine whether the contractor
can build such bridges cheaper than
the county can do the work.
