B.H.S. CONTRACTOR TESTIFIES ABOUT
 CHEAP POLITICIAN
Miss Durkin on Stand in Hearing of Action on Elk
 cavation Work.

That "a cheap Bronx politician" persuaded the Maryland Casualty Go. to furnish a $1o.0o0 bond for the High school excavation work, was the testi- raony of Miss Alice M. Durkin, the New York contractor, when she ap- peared before Judge William H., Com ley, Jr., this afternoon in the action brought by Robertson & Gavonne of New York against Durkin & Laas. Miss Durkin declared Attorney Ed ward J. Bowling. representing the Casualty Co.,, was the man who told her about the Bronx politician. She claimed Attorney Bowling also told her Robertson & Gavonne were no good and that Durkin & Laas had bet ter take out the remander of the rock themselves.
 Robertson & Gavonne brought suit for $14,OO0, claiming Durkin & Laas owed them that amount for excavat- ing. Durkin & Laas say the excava- tors did not live up to their contract and they were forced to terminate the contract in June, 1914. Then Durkin & Laas notified the Maryland Casualty Co.,, which had given surety for Rob ertson & Gavonne, that the excavators had not lived up to their agreement.
 An effort was made to show that Attorney Bowling did not represent the Casualty company at the time he talked with Miss Durkin in June, 1914, but Judge Com1ey, who is act ing as a committed to hear evidence, ruled that Attorney Bowling did rep resent the company.
 Miss Durkin testified that as re- suit of Robertson & Gavonne's failure to do the work properly her firm had to expend $6,5s6.82 to complete the job.
 The hearing was still on at press /

Parcel Post Business Increasing.

According to railroad officials on the
Baltimore and Ohio and Western Mary
land, the growth of the parcel post IN
recent months has been nothing short
of wonderful. and the railroads are
having their hands full in caring for
the big business. On the Western
Maryland it is daily occurrence to have
from one to two solid express and mail
cars packed to the roof with this parcel
post mail and packages, while the
Baltimore and Ohio now runs two mail
cars on all through trains. The ser
vice, so railroad men say, has been
steadily increasing since the Postoffice
Department began to handle larger
packages, and now it has reached such
proportions that the trains have to
carry additional cars to take care of
the business. The handling of larger
packages has been an expense to the
railroads, and the new mail and express
cars now have larger doors.
