DISCRIMINATION Is
CHARGED BY COMPANY
SAYS Ii Outbid Cincinnati Firm, but
Did Not Get Contract for

Taking the position that Washington
merchants have for the last ten or twelve
years been grossly Disseminated against
in the award Of contracts for suits for
letter carriers of this city, L. B. Moore,
man. or OF the kaufman Clothing Com
pany, OF g33 Pennsylvania Avenue North

the matter before the Postmaster Gen
eral Recently, Fechheimer Brothers, OF
Cincinnati, were awarded the contract TO
furnish winter suits for the local carriers
at a price of $l765 each. The bid of the
kaufman Clothing Company was $l6.2G
a suit. SIS less than the bid of the
Cincinnati tailors.
1t is elid one ground for the rejection
of the Kaufman bid was that the clothes
offered by the local firm did not bear the
union label on II. Mr.. Moore wishes TO
deny this He says all samples sub
mitted to the uniform committee Of the
letter carriers had the union label. He
says the quality of goods called for in
his bid is just the same as that Of the
Cincinnati concern, and the workman
ship is as good. The Kaufman company
put in a bid of 81 each on caps, yet the
Fechheimer company got the contract at
$1.15 a cap.

reason why we are protesting the giving
of contracts to out-of-town concerns, -

The new regulations also include the
regulations of the former board, prohib-
iting the sale Of beer in "growIers." Ex-

and clubs, the playing of musical instru-
ments is prohibited, and with the same
exceptions, it is provided that no licensee
shall permit the playing of pool or bill

room where Intoxicating liquors are sold.
After a lengthy consideration of the
question the board unanimously decided
that there was nothing in the new law
which prevented the granting Of a license

hibited from serving or dispensing drinks
in any public place.

COLUMBIA MANAGER

European Theaters Not Producing
Standard Plays, Says Fred
Berger.
GETS RIGHTS TO STOCK PLAYS

Fred Berger. manager OF the COlumbis
| Theater, returned TO his home in this
city last night after six weeks tour
through continental Europe. which en-
braced the principal points in France
Germany. Austria Hungary, and Swift
zerland.
While abroad Mr. Berger visited many
leading theaters and is not overen'
thusiaStic over the class of plays which
now hold the boards across the water.
He states that rag-time rules the
musical theaters, while in the houses of
drama the standard of plays is far be-
low those now being offered in America.
Mr.. Berger spent yesterday in New
York, where he looked over bookings for
the coming season. He expects 4
strenuous season and claims to have a
list OF attractions booked for 1884
which has not been equaled in the his
tory OF the Columbia. His regular sea-
son Of high-class offerings will start
next week under auspiCiOus conditions.
inasmuch as he has for the first attrac-
tion a comic opera. Her Little High
ness" which is declared TO be the big
gest and best musical play in many
years.
Her Little HiChncss' will be fol-
lowed by The Master Mind an n-
tenseIy interesting drama which was one
OF New York City's sensations during
its run there last season Then will
follow in succession attractions both
musical and dramatic. which will be the
best the producers can provide.
When in New York yesterday Mr..
Berger entered into an arrangement
with Messrs Werha and Luescher, where
by that enterprising firm will give the
Columbia Players the first right to all
their plays for stock production.

Bryan, Still Weary, Puts
Blame on Newspapers
Il Am Not Educating Any Japanese Boys" He Says in
Statement Resenting Curiosity
of the Press

Secretary of State Bryan yesterday in
dicated that he is weary Of inquiries and
discussion regarding his personal affairs,
arising out of his round of the chau-
tauqua circuit this summer and the
criticism that brought forth. He is
sued another statement, in which he
expresses the opinion that certain news
papers felt more curiosity in his private
affairs than does the general public.
The statement resulted from a speech
made Monday afternoon by Senator
MARITIME of New Jersey, who spoke in
defense of Mr.. Bryan and his lectures.
The Senator ventured the suggestion
that inasmUch as he understood,
Mr.. Bryan was educating young men
in Japan and elsewhere, that this might
account for the fixed charges which
made his salary OF $1,000 a year as
Secretary of State inadequate for his
needs Discussing the Senator's re-
marks, Mr.. Bryan said:
