THREATEN SUIT TO
RETAIN CITY AWARD
Two Court House Contractors
Insist on Compliance With
Revoked Agreements.

Two court house contractors whose
awards were rescinded recently by the
Board OF Estimate because OF condi-
lions in the building trade revealed by
the Lockwood committee investigation
have demanded that the board recon-
slider It's action. That the city has
fight on It's hands with the contractors
was revealed yesterday by publication
OF the proceedings TO come before the
board to-day. One contractor gives
notice that the city will be sued for
damages unless the board reconsiders.
and the other lays the ground for
similar course.
Dennis Z. Corners, whose contracts
for brick and concrete amounting to
8, AZ, 900 were annulled two weeks ago
on the ground that he had failed TO
furnish bond. accuses the Comptroller
OF having led him into a position
where the board was enabled TO take
advantage OF that technicality.
The charge Is made in a letter to
the board from NJ. Carl Levine, Con-
nerss attorney. stating that at a con-
ference between Corners and Comp
troller Craig. the Comptroller not only
assured Corners that he need not put
up bond within the two weeks required.
but actually advised that he postpone
the matter.
Levine also declares that had Corners
signed the contract and put up bond.
the delay caused by investigation OF
the. so-called limestone conspiracy In
connection with the contract for the
stone superstructure of the court house
might have led to far greater expense
to the city, for the reason that Con-
ners could not have proceeded with the
work. Levine blames David Hirshfield.
Commissioner OF Accounts. who Is con-
Quoting the limestone investigation, for
the delay and says that the Commits
sioner really is not trying hard to
uncover the conspiracy.
II he really made the proper effort.
Levine's letter said. he could easily
discover that there is combine be-
tween the material men. supported by
an understanding between the Stone
Cutters Union and the Greater New
York Stone Contractors Association.
whereby Indiana limestone cannot be
delivered within twenty-five miles of
New York. Breaking up OF that ring.
he said. would slash In half the lime
stone contract price. which, under the
now cancelled contract OF Hanlein &
Son. was s2.372. 900.
The other protesting firm that de-
mands that the board reconsider its
action in resembling its award is Her
man e. Grace Company. That concerns
cancelled contract was for s2ls.3oo for
roofing and sheet metal Its communi-
cation denies that there has been a
combination of any sort 10 affect prices.
and alleges that the citys action has
done it great injustice. The letter
specifically states that the request for
reconsideration is in no way waiver
of its position that the contract was
legally awarded and that the city still
is under that contract obligation.

SILENT CROWDS AT
M'SWINEY FUNERAL
Continued from First Page.

Brixton prison. London, October 20, tho
fourth year OF the republic. Aged forty
years. God have mercy on his soul"
In the pews reserved for the family
there was one figure missing. the Lady
Mayoress, who collapsed from the strain
and anxiety and was unable to be pres
ent at the ceremony In the cathedral
She was unable to accompany the body
on its Journey to Cork this evening.
MacSwiney's two brothers and two sis
ters were the chief mourners. Among the
Labor and Nationalist Members OF Par
lament present at the services were
Arthur Henderson. ]. II. Thomas, Will
liam c. Adamson. john r. Clynes. T. p.
O'Connor and Jeremiah MacVeagh. Also
present were the Mayors OF five London
boroughs and five members OF the irish
Republican Parliament.
The mass was celebrated by Bishop
Cottar. assisted by Archbishop Mannix
and Archbishop Kenealy of Simla- It
was estimated that $4,000 persons were
in the neighborhood of the cathedral to
see the procession.
The New York herald. [volume] (New York, N.Y.) 1920-1924, 1920-10-29

At the end of tho services the con-
gregation filed past the coffin, hundreds
kissing the glass through which the
emaciated face of the Lord Mayor was
visible.
The procession. In which about 1000
persons marched, proceeded to Euston
Station. There were only three car
riages, containing relatives of the late
Lord Mayor and bishops. Then came
the flower wagon, followed by 100
priests chanting.
More women were in the procession
than men. There were shop girls and
women in costly sables.. Some of them
were young and had to stretch their
legs to keep in step; others were so bent
with the weight OF years that they had to
be helped.
The marked military bearing of many
OF the men in the procession seemed to
bear out reports of all night drilling in
Ireland. The stride and carriage of men
in nearly all the groups were clearly
those OF soldiers. Also there were in
the procession older men, and even aged
men, some of whom wore silk hats, and
half n dozen Of them walked with
crutches
At Euston there was a large crowd.
but no disturbance occurred. The body
was put In a special carriage, in which
the funeral party travelled Three Of
the nine carriages in the train were
filled with police.

day says:
THE strain and anxiety of her hus-
bands martyrdom have told very consid-
erably on the sIady Mayoress, especially
during the last few days. The ordeal OF
the inquest and subsequent anxiety due
to the preliminary refusal of the Home
Office to hand over the body led to her
collapse and confined her to bed. making
Il impossible for her to attend to-days
ceremony or to accompany the body TO

Probably her indisposition will last
some time. but II is hoped that no more
serious complications will follow"

Description Of Drowned Men is Sent
to Police and Coroners Of the
River c!ties Between Here
and st. Louis.
SEARCH UNSUCCESSFUL
Fifty Dollars Each is Reward Which
Has Been Posted for Finding
Either or Both Of the
Bodies.

A reward of fifty, dollars has been
offered for the finding Of the bodies
OF Charles OF and James H. Ayres
who were drowned in the Mississippi
river Thursday afternoon when their
canoe capsized. This sum will be
paid in each case for the recovery of
the bodies.
Descriptions of the two men were
sent to every river city between here
and st. Louis by Chief of Police Hen.
nemann, yesterday These desclip-
tons went into the hands of police
and coroners in both big and little
cities. The st. Louis department was
notified, and descriptions sent broad
cast. 1t is known that or was wear
ing Masonic ring and that Ayres
was wearing two rings, one of them
with a red set in 1t.
Efforts were made again yesterday
afternoon, after the river had Gained
down considerably, to locate the
bodies by dragging. When this fail
ed the searchers covered all possible
inlets in the sloughs and combed the
islands. Aided by searchers from
Warsaw the islands were given a
thorough inspection, but without any
result
The search continued through the
night and was renewed again this
morning. 1t is generally believed
that the river will not give up it's
dead at this time. The coldness Of
the water coupled with the swiftness
of the current that is running and
swollen condition Of the stream just
at this time lends color to this belief.
Up to the present time no trace
has been found of the i'll fated canoe,
or of the paddle which the boys used
N propelling the boat.
