MAYOR BALKS TRIAL
Refusal to Deliver Detectives Reports
Bound Over for Contempt.

Philadelphia, Oct 5.-Another SEN
sation was sprung in the fifth ward
political feud today when Mayor
Smith, charged with conspiracy to
murder in the killing of a policeman,
was bound over by Judge Brown in
municipal court for contempt for re-
fusing to produce original reports
made to him by city detectives with
regard to condition in the ward
The mayor has turned over to the
district attorney copies of reports
made to him by the detectives but
counsel for the prosecution wants the
originals. 1t has been intimated that
the reports given to the district attor-
ney were not true copies of the orig
inals. Judge Brown nodded approval
when counsel for the prosecution sug-
eested an appeal to the state superior
court to compel the mayor to produce
the original reports.

ROAD is NOT Good
That Is Experts Opinion of
COunty'S Work.
Asphalt Macadam VIII Not
Stand the Heat.
RODGERS THINKS IT is 0. K.
Offer To Bet Him $500
Not Accepted.
Gage Park Stretch Shows Com
POSITIONS Inefficiency.

Opinion of experts. men who nave
devoted years to the construction OF
roads and streets, today branded the
asphalt macadam paving as recently
completed by the county commission
ers on West Sixth street, between
Gage park and Mulvane street as
one Of the most inefficient pieces of
highway work ever done in Shawnee
county.
Following the story in the State
journal Thursday exposing the facI
that the paving is already showing
signs of deterioration, county and city
officials present remembered con-
versation between w. G. Tandy, city
commissioner of streets, and A A.
Rodgers, one of the commissioners,
wherein Tandy offered tn bet Rodgers
$500 that the road would have TO be
built over again inside of three years
Hot Argument Today.
Tandy and other city officials were
threshing out the matter of the coun-
ty and city paving jointly the 500 feet
of West Sixth street between the
present end of paving and the alley
between Roosevelt and Archer streets,
which marks the city limits. Rodgers
mentioned the advisability of running
the asphalt macadam penetration
method paving on from Mulvane
street to the city limits instead of
laying ssphalt-concrete as was later
decided upon.
This isnt my put in said Tandv.

FACING COAL PROBLEM
City Fuel Bill May Be Doubled This
Winter.

The coal problem may force the city
to shed financial tears, according to
Commissioner Frank Newland 1t was
learned this morning from local coal
dealers that when a definite price on
coal was established by the govern
ment, no rebates would be made on
large orders.
The electric light department and
the water department of the city use
more than 500 tons of coal each month
for steam purposes. With no rebate
on the city purchases fuel expenses
will nearly double, it was stated this
morning.
Contracts with the local dealers ex-
pire November 1 with the price on
slack coal set at $245 a ton Local
dealers this afternoon priced the same
fuel at $3.50 per ton.
To head off any complications,
Frank Newland has already written to
several mining concerns and larger
dealers for estimates on contract coal
The contract for next years fuel sup
ply for the waterworks and light plant
was estimated around $4,000 tons for
the coming year. This order, accord
ing to Commissioner NeWland, will go
begging before the city will pay nearly
twice the present contract price

Washington, Oct. 5.-Followins the
lead of the house, the senate decided
to give Garabed T. X Giragossian an
machine that will end the war, as he
stoutly claims. The upper house
passed a resolution allowing a demon
stration before a board of eminent
scientists.
Ollie lanes, the giant Kentuckian,

from the committee on patents and it
was chiefly on mis- recommendation

chief signal officer of the army but

Rodgers didn't take the bet This
was before the road was completed.
Road experts figured it out today
that the cost fof the road in the last
three or four years had been more
than the cost of a corresponding
stretch of city paving which lasts for
years.
