CON TRACTS BAD IN LAW AND IN
 COMMON SENSE
Commissioner Harry H. DeLOss So Characterizes Warren ite Agreements In Let
 ter to Mayor.
IN RINGING TERMS
 DELOSS STATES FACTS
Law and Charter Requires Paw ing and Sewer Matters to Be Handled By the
 Commission.

Mayor Wilson's attempt to induce the paving commission to ratify the illegal Warrenite contracts resulted in written June 25. in which he request -'as a most desirable method of talk ing over the situation
 To this letter Commissioner Harry H. DeLoss, has written the following straightforward and dfgnif1ed reply:
 June 29. 1914. Honorable Clifford B. Wilson,
 NATayor.s City of Bridgeport,
 Bridgeport, Conn.
 Dear Sir:
 I beg to acknowledge receipt of your letter of the 18th inst notifying me of special meeting of the common council to be held on Monday evening, June 29th, for the purpose Of consid- ering matters relative to paving our city streets.
 Permit me to call your honor's at tention to the fact that your invitation is addressed to me personally, and that if I attended the meeting it could only be as citizen and a tax payer and that I would have no right or authority to in any way represent or to speak for the paving and sewer commission; had you desired to bring
 
 council and the paving and sewer commission, your invitation should have been addressed to the comnfs- sion and not to me personally.
 Speaking only for myself and not for the commission, 1t seems to me that the opinion of the city Attorney relative to paving which was referred to the common council by the paving and sewer commission needed no rec concentrations or suggestions from the commission, the opinion speaks for it. self and it is now simply a question for the common council to consider and decide whether they should ac- scept the opinion of their own legal adviser or go ahead and do something which will tend to throw discredit on the city and work hardship to the citizens in the holding up of important work which should be started now and completed as soon as possible.
 personally believe that the city att torney is absolutely correct in his opinion, from a common sense as We'll as a legal point of view. and that there is only one way to settle the present controversy, and that is for the com mon council to rescind the action which they have taken and proceed, as by law and under the charter they should. do, and refer this and all paw ing and sewer work to the paving and sewer commission; either let the paw ing and sewer commission do the work 1t was created to do or abolish it.
 I find that other demands upon my time will make it impossible for me to attend the meeting called for to- night, which trust will result only in such action as will be for the bestNin- terests of the City of Bridgeport.
 Very truly yours,
 Harry H. DeLoss.

NEMENT OF l. C. C. DECISION
 ON RATES DENIED

New York, June so-Qpentng- Symptoms of increasing heaviness were plainly discerntble in today's early stock market. Baltimore & Ohio and Canadian Pacific soon fell a point. the decline of the former being as sociated with the company entangle- rnent. in Cincinnati, Hamilton & Day ton affairs. United States Steel, Union Pacific and Amalgamated lost substan- tial fractions Trading in steel was relatively heavy but other dealings were in minor proportions.
 Noon-The list made general recov- cries in the second hour on authorita-, tive denial of the rumor that the inter state commerce commission purposed postponing it's decision in the freight rate cases a fortnight or more.
 Southern Pacific led the movement gaining over a point from yesterdays close, with lesser gains in Union Pa cif1c, Northern Pacific and a few other representative issues. An odd lot of United Dry Goods pfd sold at 50. a break of 8 1-2 points. The activity at tending the rise was Aof brief duration and at midday the market had fallen back to its early dullness.
 Bonds were irregular, with a gain of points in International f1ves.

POSITION OF PAVING COMMISSION DEFINED
 IN WARRENITE DEAL
Tn Straightforward Statement Chairman Rogers Sheds Light Notorious Con tract-The Law and Respect for Public Decency Actuates the Members of the Commission.

Laurel avenue Aorth with V7arrenits without assessment to the property owner.
 At present I understand there is a resolution before the council present ed by Alderman Walker, to abate tha assessment against all property own- CTS except the Warner Brothers and the New Haven road for the granite blocks laid in Atlantic, Whiting. Kief- CT streets and Singer avenue.
 When it was proposed to pave Fairfield avenue and make it part cl the state highway nothing was eaid about Warrenite. The board Of apr portfonment had granted S13,QOO Rc r1acadan1 rerafrs and 1t was thougat this money might be expended ao- cording to the wishes of the hig1wag cornr1fssfoner for the cfty's part im t1a building of the state road.
 T went to Hartford and had talk with State Highway. CounissiOneE eE Bennett and proposed that the city lay a. gutter two feet from the curb and beyond that eight feet of uacadan2 for it's portion. This would give e good gravel surfaced for horse drawn veili- cles to travel on I proposed that tho state might lay 10 feet surface of bitunninouss rnacadam and that the Connecticut Co. could lay g feet ol this same surface in and about irz car tracks for it's share of the roaoY7y COm1n1S5lOner BEuE&rL LDAfA AlAH NAAA At@ would not consent to that Kind of road and that if he did consent tr 8t he was sure the city of Bridgepcrt ana especially Mayor Wilson would npe consent to have the road laid iu thas fashion.
 Then came the special bend issue of szOo.Oo0 which the people voted and still nothing was said about Warren ite. one day we found that the ElaXcE srd director Of 3fiblifs works gn- q tf1e first yVarren15e contracts ana that the work was to be paid for with part of the bond issue. Mayor W1l- son gave us to understand at that time that the laying of Warrenite was any part of our business.
 i've wanted to find out what con permanent pavement and when Commissioner O'Rourlze asked Mayor wilson the latter told hirn that he had an opinion from the city a-ttoF- ney that Warrenite was not a peru1azl- ent pavement. MT. O Rourlza asked him if he had that opinion in writing The mayor said he had the city attoE- ney's verbal opinion.
 When the matter of Warrenite came up again we determined to find oue for ourselves We put the matter up to City Attorney 1Comley and his opin-

MAY DELAY WORK UPON
 NEW HIGH SCHOOL

With attachments upon the boilers and even the very bricks with which the foundations and walls are to be built being romoved from the prem fBes under attachements today, the progress of the work on the new High school building is now seriously l5eopardi7ed. according to those in close touch with the situation
 Under a suit for S1,00o filed by Robinson G GAovanne yesterday, at tachments were placed on the boilers by Sheriff George Mara.
 Today two suits for S550 tied up 75. 900 bricks being used by the rna- sons, and, under the direction of Sher- If John M. Donnelly they were or dered to be carted from the site The suits were entered by Charles O'shea, a. former sub-contractor for $250, aI- legged to be due for sand furnished!
 Another suit for $500 was entered by Thomas Sampiri. a local truck man for horses and teams furnished on the work.
 Supt Henry Haas, foreman for Dur kin & Lass, when asked what effect the attachment would have stated that was in hopes of having them re- moved within a few days failing which he would still continue the re- moval of rock. He declared that, in his 15 years experience in contra,ct- Ing work he had never superintended such an involved operation as the new Bridgeport high school

HIGH TRIBUTE
 PAID TO LATE
 HEIR AND WIFE
Bodies of Archduke and His Duchess Arrive In
 MetkOvitch.
MURDER PLOT STARTED
 IN SERVIA, IS BELIEF
Government Was Aware of Reasonable Aims of
 Mazefactors' Group.

Metkovitch, Herzegovina June 30- The bodies of Archduke Francis Fer dinand and his consort, the Duchess of Hohenberg, arrived here on a special train at s o'clock this morning from Sarayevo, Bosnia, the scene of Sun- days tragedy. Members of the arch duca1 household accompanied the bod ies.
 The town was draped in black and the flags on all the buildings flew at half mast. Guards lof honor from the platform and behind them were gathered the local authorities all the school children of the town and a dense crowd of citizens.
 ' The coff1ns were removed from the cars by bIuejackets and, after a bless ing had been given by priest. con veyed, amid the roll of untitled drums and the tolling of church bells, to the royal yacht Da1mat, lying in the river. They we're covered with military flags and wreaths and on the yacht itself were hundreds of floral offerings from military and naval officers and ctvi1- fans.
 As the yacht left, the guard of hon. or fired general salute. The vessel was preceded down the river by torpedo boat and followed by the gov ernor's yacht, on board of which were the members of the households of the Archduke and Duchess. The gover- nor also accompanied the bodies while they remained in the waters of his territory.
 Every village and hamlet along the river Narenta was draped in mourn ing and their populations, headed by the municipal officials and clergy, as- senbled along the banks, the men and women bearing lighted candles and kpee1ing while the yacht passed At the same time the church bells tolled and the priests uttered blessings
 When the DaImat reached the mouth of the river it proceeded directly to the batt1eship virfbus Unitis. which was lying at anchor waiting to con- vey the bodies to Trieste The yacht fired salute of 19 guns as she came alongside the battleship and the cof- fins were then transferred to the af- ter deck of the battleship, which had been transformed into a mortuary chapel decorated with flags Here the bodies were again blessed with much ceremony by the ships chaplain in the presence of the members of the archduca1 household and the naval officers. the entire crew being drawn up in circle around them.
 The Viribus Unitis weighed anchor at o'clock and sailed northward with the archducal standard flying at half mast.

SERVIANS BLAMED
 FOR DUKES MURDER

Vienna, June so-According to high officials, the plot which resulted in the assassination on Sunday of Archduke Francis Ferdinand and his wife, the Duchess of Hohenberg, at sarayevo owed it's inception to nationalist pro- paganda which originated in Servfa.
 This propaganda took deep root among certain elements of the Ser v1an population of Bosnia The Bos- nian government was aware Of the reasonable aims being pursued but was obliged to proceed with the ut most caution in order not to injure another group of Servians who were loyal to 1t. Also there were certain considerations Of foreign policy which had to be reckoned with.
 The Bosnian authorities. while carefully watching and restraining these fanatics. apparently were unable to discover the conspiracy in time to prevent Sundays crime.
 How deeply this Servian danger really penetrates Bosnia. is impossible to intimate but fears are expressed here that it would be difficult to stem it now.

Mir. Leeds Closes Controversy Over Attempt to ExtOrt Com tribution From Mir. Catlin.

Norman Leeds. chairman of tho board of contract and supply, today closed the controversy over the at tempt to extort a campaign contribu- ton from George L. Ca.tlln, late clerk Of the board of contract and supply with a pointed note, intimating that City Clerk J. Alexander Fl. Robin son quite fails to measure up to the ideals of the Republican rank and ale respecting what a. man in the city clerks position should be.
 Mir Leeds letter follows.
 Bridgeport, Conn,
 June sOth. 1sa4. J. Alexander H. Robinson, City:
 My dear sir: beg to acknowIedga your letter of June 27th. Your desire controversy I am quite wiling to re- spect, and on this point I am entirely satisfied that your Judgment is sound both as Q citizen and as leader of the Republican party l should not in the first place have called public at tention to the matters. the publica- tion of which was apparently so dis dressing to you, had I not felt that there was a persistent attempt to make the cIerkship of the Board of Contract and Supply a football of pol iticians, and that, a statement ought to be made which would put the cit3- zens of this city on their guard. ana which might prevent a repetition Of such acts. As clearly appears from your own letters and the letters of MT. Turner there was an attempt to procure from MT. Catlin a subscrip- ton based on the salary paid to him by the city Of Bridgeport for the per formance of his duties, and it more over appears that there Is a regularly established system of political con tributions from other public ohcers. the salaries of which are paid from public funds While this was going on in private the rank and file of tho Republican voters were publicly led to believe that the platform of which a salient feature was to give to the. city a business administration free from political control would be lived up tu by the men who were the leaders Of the party Your welfare in this spect and your attitude as indicated in your letters convince me that you fall short Of being able Of meetins the ideals which are expected by the rank and file of the party of one ln your position.

Joseph Buonomo. knows us 'sChicago Joe," met his death upon the sczfrold in Wethersheld prison at 1zs07 this morning, his neck being broken and death being pronounced Instantaneous after a lapse of the usual 1s minutes interval. Ba1ononno sa1d he killed the woman because he was tired of her.
 Raonomo. who has been in the state prison since December 24 1912, had hoped against hope that his life would be spared, and kept up his courage until late into the night. Then he all but collapsed and. in the death march, his steps were faltering and slow.
 The march. though slightly delayed by has weakening condition, began about i've minutes past twelve. War den Ward A. Garner. his assistants and assembled newspaper men, were lined against the whftewashed wa lhs in groups waiting his coming. ~

''It does seem to me- said Col M. H. Rogers. chairman of the paving and sewer commission today, ''that if the mayor is so solicitfous for the aid of the commission in strafghten- ing out the Warrenite contracts mud dIe now. he might have solicited the aid of the commission before the con- tracts were made.
 'fThe paving and sewers commits sion has the best interest of the city at heart, and no member of the com mission wants to hold up paving work. We have no axes5to grind. We simply want to find out which in the opinion of the city attorney is the proper body to handle the $200,00O bond issue which the people voted for paving.
 Having found that opinion, we simply put the matter up to the corn mon council without comment There was no necessity of any n1kember of the commission appearing at the legislative body. It is not up to the commission to suggest any action by that body or to define the, course it may pursue.
 'cNo member of the paving and sewers commission wants the job of supervising the laying of pavement from this bond issue recently granted but we do want to know under whose Jurisdiction the money is to be ex- pended and what constitutes perna- nent pavement. We have put the matter up to the city attorney and he has given us his opinion. We have submitted that opinion to the com mon council.
 we understand that the council has voted authority to the mayor to name a committee to wait on the paw ing and sewers compassfon for a. con. ferenee in regard to he matter. When that conference is called every n1eTn<e Der of the paving and sewers commits sion who is in the city will be present and we will give the presentations of aIdermanic committee the courtesy and respect due them.
 If it is decided that the paving and sewer com1niss. on is to have the hand ling of this s20O. 900 bond issue. con tracts will be made as they have in the past with the lowest responsible bidder. The proportionate cost Of per manent pavement has to be assessed against abutting property owners. No one but the common council has pow CT to abate these assessments. Prop erty holders in Park avenue from Laurel avenue to the park were as- sessed $2.62 per square yard for wood en blocks laid in front of their prop erty, but it is proposed to pave from
