SEES GOOD IN TAMMANY
Metz, Sailing, Says All Are Not
Crooks Education.

Congressman Herman A. Metz sailed
for Bremen yesterday in the North Ger
man Lloyd liner Kronprinzessin Ceciie.
Concerning the defeat Of Tammany Hall
Tuesday, Mr. Metz, who was Tammany
candidate for Controller, said:
This bunch Of reformers who beat US
on Tuesday has been working up a SEN
timent for some time against Tammany
Hall by the use of the words thieves,
crooks and grafters' We are not all
crooks, thieves and grafters in rammany
Hall, as some Of the New York news
papers would make us appear.
There seems TO be feeling that Tam
many Hall is an ogre and a bugaboo, and
measures OF an educational nature should
be taken to dispel this notion. The or
ganization should by this means show
that it is as honest as any other politi-
cal body In the United States.
1.-The result of the election has nothing
whatever TO do with my departure TO-
day. Urgent business alone calls me
abroad. Before I go l want to say that
Mr.. Murphy never asked me for anything
and he never asked me to do anything.
While Mr.. Metz was talking with
friends a man who said he was Harry
Campbell tried to induce the chief stew
ard to give him 80 marks which he said
Mr.. Metz owed him. He offered his
watch 10 the steward, asking him 10 give

PHILADELPHIA, Nov. 6-The officials OF

American Pipe and Construction Com
many have no idea Of assisting District
Attorney Whitman OF New York in his
search for graft in connection with New
York City and New York State contracts
officials of these companies made this
very plain to-day when 1t was called 10
their attention that the names OF both
6rrs had been given to Mr.. Whitman by
John A. Hennessy as having contributed
IN the Tammany Hall dough fund"
The officials of both firms We're IN
formed that, according to Hennessy, they,
ter about forty other contracting firms,
had been ''sandbagged" into making ex-
tensive graft payments.
officials OF the Millard-Lupton Company
freely acknowledged that their concern
had done work on the New York barge
canal hut denied that any graft contri-
buttons had been demanded or paid.
Joseph S. Keen, president of the Ameri-
oar pine and Construction Company, said
that he knew nothing about the New
York contracts and therefore 1t would do
no good for Mr.. Whitman to question
him. When asked what member OF the
corporation would know of these con-
tracts Mr.. Keen intimated that this was
confidential information which he did not
purpose to give.

sistible for Arthur NJ. Dickey of the

to the great wander lust, he left Mis-

service with the canal commission.
MIR. Dtckey was several years ago in

was transferred to the civil service in
Chicago, later in Missoula. He has
been here three years, first as dis
tributing clerk and later in charge of

Mir. Dickcy $1,000 q year, with bachelor
quarters furnished for eight months,

children will remain at their home in
Missoula, for the present at least.

NEW BUILDING
Of BOARD
RATTLEsNAkE PEOPLE SAY THEY
HAVE TOO MANY CHILDREN
FOR scHooLRooM.

h district school board held it's
regular monthly meeting last night in
the Roosevelt school. A equest from
residents in the Rattlesnake district
was presented. The people in this dis
trlct ask that the board build them a
four room building at the approximate
cost of 100000. AS the board is not
sure of it's power in this matter, owing
to the newly enacted school laws, the
matter was laid on the table to be
taken up at a later date.
The Rattlesnake people claim that
there are now too many students in
that district to be accommodated in
the present building, and ask that the
new school be built at the earliest
possible date.
From now on matters pertaining to
the coming school election will be
handle by the district board instead
or by the county commissioners as
heretofore. THE new school law places
this duty on the school boards. How
ever, this will in no affect the
call for a mass meeting which has
been issued by the commissioners to
nominate candidates for election. The
commissioners were in charge until the
Dill changing the management of
school elections had been signed by the
governor.
