 Lenora obeyed

 Quest nodded and held out his hand for the receiver.
 Hello, French" he exclaimed. Anything fresh?"
 Nothing much," was the answer. One of my men, though, who has been up Mayton avenue way brought in something I found rather interest ing this morning. I want you to come round and see it."
 GO right ahead and tell me about it." Quest invited.
 You know we've been shadowing Craig" the inspector continued. "Not much luck up till now. Fellow seems never to leave his masters side. We have had couple of men up there, though, and one of them brought in curious-looking object he picked up just outside the back of the professors grounds"
 What is the thing?" Quest asked.
 Well, I want you to see whether you agree with me-" French went on. If you can't come round, I'll come to you"
 No necessity" Quest replied. We've got over little difficulties of that sort. Laura, just tack on the phototelesme," he added, holding the receiver away for a moment. "One moment, French. There that's right" he added, as Laura, with delft fingers arranged what seemed to be sensitized mirror to the instru- ment. "Now, French, hold up the article just in front of the re- ceiver. There, that's right Hold it steady. I've got the focus of it now. Say, French, where did you say that was found?"
 Just outside the professors back gate" French grunted. But you're not kidding me"
 "It's a finger from the professors skeleton you've got there," Quest in- terrupted.
 Quest hung up the receiver. Then he turned toward his two assistants.
 Another finger from the profes- sor's skeleton" he announced, "has been found just outside his grounds. What do you suppose that means?"
 Craig" Lenora declared conf dently
 Craig on your life," Laura echoed. Say, MT. Quest, I've got an idea"
 Quest nodded.
 Go right ahead with it."
 Didn't the butler at Mrs. Rhein- holdt's say that Craig belonged to servants club up town? I know the place we'll. Let me go and see if can't join and pick up little informa- tion about the man. He must have a night out sometimes. Let's find out what he does? How's that?"

this morning denied that liquor had
been sold at the balls of the st.

ward rally at Pulaski Park last fall,
as charged in a letter sent to the
NEWS yesterday by j. Otto Nelson,
of Mechanic street, who furnishes

declared at the last named affair
Roundsman Morris had tried the
faucets of the bar in Pulaski hall and
they were dry" Roundsman Morris
corroborated this statement and de-
clared that he and Patrolman Maher
visited the place and satisfied them
selves that liquor was not being sold.
Daniel w. Boehm, president of the
excise board last year, stated last
night that he had been requested to
grant permit for the dispensing of
liquor at the fifth ward rally but
that he had refused it because the
hall was disconnected from the saloon
and was therefore not in his juris-
diction. He said that he had granted
no permits for the sale of liquor at
balls staged by the two athletic
clubs referred to in Mr.. Nelson's

CHRISTENSEN n IS
MADE OVERSEER
Of C|TY'S POOR

Nels Christensen, a grocer, of 47O
8mboy avenue, was elected overseer
of the poor for the city at a meeting
of the Board of Aldermen last night
He received five votes on the second
ballot, taken after a recess had been
held to discuss candidates. The
board also chose Alderman-at-large
w. Guy Weaver and Alderman John
j. Clark as its representatives in the
Board of School Estimate. There
was no opposition and their election
was unanimous.
In accordance with new rule of
the council, the voting was by bal
lot. The first one showed two alder
men voting for John Toolin, two
voting for Math Hansen, one for
James Morris and one for Mr.. Chris
tiansen. Mr.. Kutcher refused to
vote. A recess was then declared.
A second ballot showed the following
result: Five votes for Mr.. Christian
sen, one for Otto Olsen and one for
James J. Flynn. This result indi-
Gated that the Republican members,
whose candidate was Mr.. Hansen,
had sided with the Christiansen sup
porters. The successful candidate,
whose selection is understood to be
the first of several to be made from
among sixth ward men, was nomi-
mated by Alderman Chris Jorgensen
of that ward Mr.. Hilker nominated
Mr.. Hansen, Mr.. Weaver nominated
Mr.. Toolin, and Mr.. Clark named
Mr.. Morris.

AWARD CONTRACT
FOR GRADING Of
CONVERY PLACE

A contract for grading Conyery
place, between Sayre avenue and
Smith street, was awarded to Gra-
ham and McKeon, at a meeting of
the Board of Aldermen last night.
Petitions to re-establish the grade
of Pulaski avenue and to place
street light at Neville and Jacques
street, were received and referred to
the proper committees.
Graham and McKeon were one of
several bidders on the work of grad
ing Convery place. They offered to
do the work for twenty-seven cents
a cubic yard.
The request of Herman Frederick
and six others to have the grade of
Pulaski avenue re-established, was
directed over the usual course, being
referred to the committee on streets
and sewers.
That of Herman Frederick and
others for an additional street arc in
Neville street, was referred to the
committee on lamps and lights.
The committee on streets and sew
ers reported favorably upon the re-
quest to grade and curb Sutton
street The recommendation to car
ry on the work was adopted.
Alderman William C. Wilson, as
chairman of the water committee,
that body which he laughingly said
was so overworked, said there had
been no action upon repeated re-
quests to make changes to fire
hydrants and to paint them of a
bright color, probably red, so that
they may become more easily dis
tinguished at night. The first ward
alderman also asked as to why the
Board of Water Commissioners
should be any greater body than the
council, In that it advertised to pros
ecute those persons who failed toI
pay their water bills by February /.

WANTS To KNOW
HOW AUDITING
WASG|VEN OUT
Expert Accountant Writes that
City Could Have Saved
ST, 500 or More-CouId be
Used for Playground Fund.

Raising the question as to the
manner in which the contract was
given for auditing the city books,
Harry Braverman, who is connected
with a New York firm of expert ac-
countants, has written the following
letter:
EDITOR EVENING NEWS:
/ have always read with keen in
lterest the letters of readers that you
publish from time to time in refer
ence to city affairs. | would be very
much obliged to you if you would
find space for the following remarks,
which | am sure are of interest to
the community as whole.
In one of your issues of December,
1913, in reviewing the procedure of
the meeting of the Board of Alder
men held the night before, you stated
that bids for auditing the city books
would be received on December 15,
1913. After further interviewing
two of the aldermen, they acknowl-
edged that such was the case. There
fore as a representative of one of the
largest and most reputable account
ing firms of the country, on whose
staff l am a member, | filed my bid.
The next day my bid was returned
with neat note from the city clerk
which In substance ran as follows:
by instruction of council, | am re-
turning unopened your bid for audit
ing the city's accounts" The further
reason was that mine was the only
bid received.
AT the time l thought that the
policy of the Board of Aldermen was
to grant work after competition only,
and inasmuch as mine was the only
bid received, I could not then con-
denim the policy of the board.
But when ! read your article on
January 5th last, that to date almost
100000 had been paid for auditing
the books, the theory of competition
vanished, and some unknown factor
entered
Mr.. Editor, why were not bids ad-
vertised for? Do you know that
represent firm whose reputation is
@ ssE - sntc. t1a iifff rhsf 7eyEsSe tss''''
ly audited the cities of Newark and
Trenton, and who therefore have
experts?
Do you know that the rate in my
bid was much lower than the one
now being paid?
Do you realize that that would
have meant saving to the city of
S 800 or more?
Can you see that that amount
would have been adequate to create
a fund for the playground commits
sion, an expenditure which the board
said it could not meet?
