RUMOR OF ADDITION TO POSTOFFICE IS
 DISCREDlTED HERE
New Federal Buildings Costing 38,5OO,00O Have Been
 Authorized.
will Be 1920 Before All Con- tracts For Work
 Are Placed.

That an addition is soon to be made to the post office and Federal build ing in Bridgeport, is a rumor that has gained much credence here during the past week. Employes in the federal building, since the rumor has reached them, have been given to much spec u1ative} comment on the matter A number of prominent builders have been making inquiries on the matter but as yet Postmaster Marigold has heard nothing the subject. Ac- cording to the Commercial Record at present the office of the supervising architect of Federal buildings has on it's books waiting to be placed under contract, approximately $38, 300. 900 worth of authorization for new build singss and extensi ons, exclusive of the value of the land. The Record says:
 Many of our Connecticut cities that are looking forward to the time when work shall be started on a pro posed new post office building will not get much comfort out of the report just issued by the Government, giv- ing the status of public building con struction. This report includes the new buildings. and extensions in the act of 1913. This office is placing buildings and extensions under con tract at the rate of about $7,000, ,000 annually, so that at the present rate of progress the last of the buildings authorized in the act of 1918 will not have been placed under contract unti1 about the beginning of the calendar year 1920. It will not be until after the latter date that 1t will be possible for the supervising architect to place under contract any buildings con- tained in any act, or acts, which may be passed in the meantime.
 ssThe current program, made up of the remaining projects which were authorized prior to the 1918 act, in- c1udes about one years work from this date. Work upon the plans for buildings authorized in the act of 1913, will, therefore, not commence until about July 1, 1915. The 1913 tions: New buildings, 304; extensions to existing buildings, 23; total pro- jects. 327. The program of work con- tained in the act of 1913 has not been laid out as yet. Therefore it is impos- sib1e to state even approximately the time when any building authorized in that act will be either advertised for bids or placed under contract.
 s.n a subsequent act increases the limit of cost, or otherwise modiffes prior legislation for a building or ex- tension. before that project is reached in turn, the position of the project in the program of work is not affected thereby. If a project is set aside when it's turn is reached in order to a wait action upon a proposed increase in the limit of cost, or for any other reason, it is taken ul,, whenever re leased in as near it's original po- sition as the conditions of the work, generally, may render possible.
 .eNo consideration can be given to suggestions that any one project is entitled to any more reconsideration than another, and requests that build ings be advanced out their order is uniform1y declined. 7

ESPIONAGE OVER HARRY K. THAW
IS CONSIDERED IN LIGHT OF JOKE
Stanford Whites Slayer Recently Got Lost While Fishing But Made
No Effort to Observation-Disclosures From Matteawan Quietly
Waits at Gorham, NJ H., for the Next Move in His
Long and Strenuous Fight for Liberty

, Roads and paths radiate from it like
spokes in a Wheel
When Thaw first came here all the
year round residents evinced great
| curiosity in the slayer. Not knowing
the symptoms of paranoia, they expect
ed to see a veritable mailman, wild
eyed and at least crafty erratic. They
we're disappointed. 1t is true that
Thaw today has the same staring eyes
which have marked him for years and
that he is erratic, but he hasn't come
up to expectations by long shot So
after time they gave up paying much
attention to him.
Visitors from the city are equally
curious upon their arrival, but their
inquisitiveness shortly subsidies. They
find Thaw to be very much like the
other guests, save that he is some
what exclusive. Much of his time is
spent in offices he has established in
the Noyes building, centrally located
in one of the few streets this little viii
lage boasts. The rest of his day is
occupied in automobiling, fishing and
tramping.
Thaw recently bought five-passen-
ger car. The report that he mixes
with the guests and takes them on his
outings is erroneous. In truth, this is
quite contrary to the facts, as, with
but one exception, his parties have
been made up of the sheriffs, his Sec
rotary and himself.
The exception has to do with
tramp up Mount Washington early in
the month. This was made over the
northern end of the Presidential range
| by way of Crystal Cascade trail and
was uneventful. A friend from Con-
cord made up the fifth member of the
party. The jaunt proved Thaw to be
as hard as nails and an excellent can
didate for the Alpine Climbers so
ciety.
Thaw is too busy with his liberty
campaign" to pay much attention to
the guests of his hotel or to the resi-
dents of the place. He has the repu-
tation Of being uniformly courteous to
women and to such men as seek his
acquaintance, but he seldom seeks an
introduction on his own account. He
prefers to remain in the background.
which is unusual in view of his past
performances.
The refugee from Matteawan is
fair trout fisherman when it comes to
landing fish in Moose river, Nineteen
Mile brook and Peabody's river, but
what he would do with trout over
eight inches long can't be prophesied,
for the reason that they don't grow

Several years ago eight managers in
the American league held thumbs
down on "Gavvy" Cravath; the out
fielder was passed along to the Ameri-
can association. The Phillies picked
him up in the hope he would continue
hitting in the National league as he
had done in the American association.
Cravath met the hopes and in the sea-
son of 1913 he was sensation.
The Boston Americans now have a
man who has been passed up by eight
National league managers. Boston is

mysteriously circulated, but not BY
Thaw. Whatever the figure may be-
Thaw Is not spending as large amounts
as the natives hoped he would. He
pays well for what he gets, but he
doesn't want much.
He lives on the same fare the 9th
ers get, and there is no reason why he
shouldn't, In view of its excellence. He
Iatronizes the local stores when he
happens to need what they can supply,
and when they fail him he sends to
New York or Boston. 1t is an excel
lent guess he hasn't expended much
for clothing, for he is fairly slovenly
in appearance. At any rate. If he has
bought much apparel he hasn't seen
fit to wear it.
DR.. Austin Flint, alienist for New
York state in the Thaw trials and
hearings, and William Travers Jerome,
chief of the states prosecuting officers
have said Thaw's great danger lies in
alcohol. They have stated to the
courts that should the slayer take SO
much as one drink, especially of cham
payne, he would likely enough again
develop homicidal tendencies.
Thaw hasn't had a drink since he
came here, although he has had plenty
of opportunities. There is bar in the
hotel for guests, and wines and liquors
may be had on the table or in the
rooms. So far as can be ascerta1nec
Thaw has never been in the bar nor
has he had intoxicants sent to his
room. He is now a total abstainer.
His one vice, If it can be called vice,
is smoking.
Outside the fact that he doesn't
drink and is more moderate in his
speech, Thaw doesn't seem to have
changed much since the days when he
was well-known character on Broad.
way. He is still nervous, arrogant, ex.
citable and suspicious. His mandatory
nature continually asserts itself, but
he can be winsome If he chooses.
1t is unquestionably fact that Thaw
is trying his best to conduct himself
properly and to win support in that
way. In a measure he is succeeding,
but the natives will never condone his
offense against society. Some have
no hesitancy in thus declaring them
selves, but good many believe he has
been amply punished. Others openly
declare he should be returned to Mat
teawan to spend the balance of his
life.
Thaw expects the next move in his
fight will be made in September. He
is optimistic as to the outcome, and
the chances are he will remain here
quietly to await results. If he has
reason to change his mind he will have
no difficulty in escaping.
