BIDS FOR HAULING
RIVER FRONT FILL
To De ASKED AGAIN
Park Superintendent Says Figures
Received Were to Excessive
Wants Lower Prices
MATERIAL NOT YET READY
Brief Delay For Re-Advertising
Will Not Necessarily Hold
Up Work

Bids for hauling material from the
Second and Front street subways to
the river front will likely he readver-
tised for by City Commissioner NJ.
Harvey Taylor. superintendent of parks
and public property.
Commissioner Taylor says he isn't
entirely satisfied with the figures sub
mitted when the proposals were opened
yesterday and he believes he can do
better financially for the city by ask
ing for new bids.
The park superintendent's intention
had been to submit the bids with his
recommendation for awarding the con-
tract to City Council for approval this
afternoon. The change in plan will
not materially affect the situation, ac-
cording to Mr.. Taylor, because the
BULK of the dirt at the Second street
subway is not vet available.
while we have not vet definitely
decided what will be done in the mat
ter, it is quite likely that bids will be
readvertised for" said the superin-
tendent. I'm not satisfied with the
figures we received even though the
contractors stipulated that the cost of
track changes, etc, had to be counted
in in the price submitted. However,
thought we could get the work done
for less money, and | think that per-
haps we can still do this If we ask for
new bids"
The plan is to haul some 10000 odd
yards of earth from the subways which
would have been loaded upon vehicles
by Sucker Brothers Construction Com
pany, the contractors. The contractors
have agreed to pay the city at the rate
of 10 cents per cubic yard for hauling
the earth away.

Organized Baseball
Suffers Legal Defeat
Bp Assoeiiated Press

Buffalo. N. Y. July 21.-Organized
baseball suffered a legal defeat to-day
when Justice Herbert P. Bissol grant
ed the motion to vacate the Injunction
secured by the Chicago American
League baseball club restraining Hal
Chase from playing with the Buffalo
Federal League club.
The lack of mutual obligation In the
So o-called ten-day clause of the con-
tract under which Chase was playing
with the Chicago team, whereby the
club could terminate the contract on
ten days notice, while the player was
bound under several provisions of the
national agreement. formed the basis
of the decision vacating the injunction.
That organized baseball is violation
of the Sherman antitrust law was
denied by Justice Bissol on the ground
that he cannot agree that the business
of baseball for profit is interstate trade
or commerce and therefore subject to
the provisions of the Sherman act"
The court held. however, that 1t was
monopoly for baseball business in con-
travention of common law.
Chase was served with injunct tion
papers June 25 while he was playing
with the Buffalo team at Federal Park
He had been on the bench. In his
affidavit upon which the motion to
vacate the injunction was based Chase
alleged that he gave the Chicago Club
ten days notice of his intention to
leave. at the expiration of which time
he signed the Buffalo contract.

80 CENT S|RLO|N'
STEAK JANUARY |
IS A PREDICTION
Retail Prices of Beef VIII Take
Two Cent Jump Next
Week
CUSTOMERS BITTER WALL
Each Boost Causes More Com
plant Say Dealers High
Wholesale Rates

Retail prices of beef. which took a
jump a month ago, will more than
likely go up again in short time.
The next advance will probably be
made next week, according to butch
ers in this city. The advance in whole
sale prices, according to meat dealers
seen here to-day, will be the cause of
the next retail advance. and it appears
to be inevitable. I'VE are holding
back as long as we can, one dealer
said, but we can't hold out much
longer. Every time there is an in
crease in price a howl goes up from
our customers. We don't like that
any more than anybody else, but of
course We'll have to make a profit on
the meats sold, otherwise we can't
stay in business"
The price of sirloin steak, now at
80 cents, it is expected. will be ad-
vanced to 32 cents next week. If
wholesale prices keep right on jump
ing as they have, fifty cent sirloin is
a possibility by January l.
Lower Wholesale Rates the Hope
At Stouffer brothers large meat
market in Verbeke street it was said
this morning that careful calculation
had been made during the past week.
and it didn't appear that there was
any way to escape a further advance
in prices unless the undreamed of
possibility of lower wholesale prices
should suddenly appear.
That such a contingency is very un-
likely appears from reports from all
over the country gathered by the
Telegraph. Chicago is. the meat au-
thority of the United States and to
Chicago we turn to find that never in
ths history of the oldest member of
the Chicago Produce Exchange has
beef been SO scarce.
Another staple food article that is
causing a nick in the pocketbook of
the householder this year is the COM
mon white potato. Last year potatoes
sold at a dollar a bushel This year
the price has increased to $3.50 or
So a bushel for first grades. And the
price may go higher, according to
commission men. Poor grades sold
as low at $1.25, 25 cents higher than
for first grades last year.

Wilson's Hope of Holding Demo-

Glimmering Now
TRIUMVIRATE GIVEN ALL

Washington, July 21.-Oficials of
the national administration are COM
mencing to voice something stronger
than amazement at the state into
which the Democracy of Pennsylvania
has fallen and at the prospects of the
Republicans recovering a number of
congressional seats in the Keystone
this Fall. No set of State leaders
has been given a freer rein in the fill
ing of federal offices than the men who
compose the Palmer Mccormick
Morris triumvirate and their handling
of the matter has been very much like
what would be expected of children
given buzz saw to play with. They
have cut their own fingers and chunks
or wood have been flying all over the
shop, getting everyone mad and turn
ing order into a litter of trouble
The President, impelled by gratitude
for services rendered at Baltimore and
fooled by the claims of the Pennsylva-
MIA BOSSES has allowed them to have
everything their own way and they
have brought home nothing but
bother. Every appointment made
has caused protests to be entered here
and some of them have gone clean
into the White House in spite of all
that Palmer could do to keep the
gates locked. The President and many
of the party leaders were astounded at
the ferocity of the battle waged
against Palmer and Mccormick
when they were picked out by them
selves, State Chairman Morris and
James |. Blakeslee; rubber stamped
by the President, and backed up by
speeches by Secretaries Bryan, Daniels
and Wilson. And now they have been
chagrined to see the faction which
triumphed split up the back in quar-
rels over patronage.
President Wilson wants Democra-
tic congress next year and he wants

such congressman as an endorse
