SULzER up IN AIR"
BUT ON SCAFFOLD|NC
Governor Inspects for Himself
the Work on the Burned
Part of the Capitol.
DISCUSSES PER CENT BASIS
Contractor Insists Present Plan
Is Cheaper than to Let a
Contract After Com
petitive Bidding.
[By Telegraph to The Tribune.

Albany, Jan. Ex-Governor Sulzer
climbed up over the scaffolding about the
burned part OF the Capitol to-day to see
for himself how the repair work Is pro-
crossing He was conducted by Mr.. Cal.
lanan. OF the contracting firm of Callahan
& Prescott. which is doing the work on
a 10 per cent basis. The Governor had
characterized this plan as an exTavagant
waste Of the peoples money, and Mr. Cal.
lanan sought TO show him that he was
wrong.
Asked afterward II he still intended 10
change the form OF the contract TO one
calling for competitive bidding, as recon-
mended by his Investigators. Governor
SulZor said he would take the matter
under advisement and would first have his
newly created auditor. John T.. Hennes-
sey. make thorough examination Of the
accounts
Mr.. Callahan was a witness before the
investigating committee to-day, and he
expressed the opinion that money would
be lost by adopting the competitive bid
ding plan.
n was held that under the 10 per cent
plan of contract the contractors were
able TO put many men 10 work merely
because of their political affiliations. II
would be no loss to the contractors, even
II the men were not needed. as under the
present plan they receive 10 per cent Of all
the money spent.
Have YOU engaged any men At the re-
quest OF political leaders, asked Deputy
Attorney General John r. Norton
Yes. sir" replied Mr.. Callahan. but
they all have to show competence
The contractor denied the reports that
the pa yrolls on the job were padded. say
ing he had thorough system OF check
ing.
During his tour Of the repairs TO the
building Governor Sulzer put this ques-
ton to Mr.. Callahan;
In your opinion. as citizen and
taxpayer. would it be more economical for
the state TO finish this work on the pres
ent percentage. or by letting contracts?
For reply the contractor showed the
Governor a comparison Of figures OF per
ccntage work and straight competitive
estimate. which purported 10 show mat
on one OF the Jobs in connection with the
repairs $500 was saved by the per-
centage plan.
Mr.. Callahan testified that his firm had
already been paid *i0s5.2s4, and he esu-
mated il would require about $1,000
more 10 anish He declared however,
that II a contract for the entire under
taking had been let for lump sum II
would have cost the state still another
million

Utica. y. Y, Jan. 24-The most impor-
tant development of to-day's programme
of the thirty-sixth annual meeting OF lie
New York State Bar Association, when
convened here to-day. was the action
taken with regard to the question OF arDl-
tration involved in the matter. Of Panama
Canal tolls. This came this afternoon
following the presentation by Everett T.
Wheeler of the committee report on arp'-
tration OF the toll question. The report
provoked a spirited discussion and re-
suited in the proposed resolution urging
President Taft to accept the offer Of arbi-
tration being defeated.
\ minority report had been made by
Charles Henry Butler, which. while not
different in thought from that presented
BY the committee. was more favorable 10
President Taft. An effort was made To
defer action until the proper occasion
arises for associations OF this nature TO
act" Finally this resolution was adopted:
Resolved. That We reiterate our ad-
ler"ncc and devotion 10 the principle OF
international arbitration as heretofore an
nounced by This association. and cordially
approve the position OF President Tart
on the Panama question as stated in his
speech OF January I. and quoted in Mr..
Buffers minority report
The committee report presented by Mr.
Wheeler said:

and Great Britain than any that can

ton OF This sort should refuse.
The committee answers the objection
We cannot expect an impartial tribunal By
declaring that such a contention Is doing

II adds:
II might bee said with mucn more force
that a tuStlc. OF the Supreme Court OF the

and set We know by experience that SUCH

CORN A GOOD CROP IN


Frank Sherwin of Brookings, S.
D., is spending few days In the
county. He has half section. OF
land two miles west of Parkhurst,
seeded to wheat. Mr.. Sherwin is In
terested in the Better Farming move
ment in his state, and also here:
Speaking Of crop conditions he sald
of his home county:
"Brookings county, s. D., is bless
ed with bountiful crops. The wheat
crop looks good for 10 to 25 bushels
per acre; oat crop from Is to 50
bushels, barley fair, and corn never
showed better prospect, standing at
this date, July 5th, from two to five
feet high and q perfect stand through
the whole county. Brookings coun-
ty bids fair to keep her record as the
banner county Of the state"
Mr.. Sherwin says he wishes he
had more land In Stutsman county.
He things the Dakotas have q grand
agricultural future before them when
the land is rightly cultivated, and
the most is made Of our natural ad-
vantages.
