FIGURES SUBMITTED BY TWO
CONTRACTORS ARE CON-
slDERED TOO HIGH.
PRICES RANGE FROM 70
TO s7k CENTS PER YARD
Contract Would Have Included Grad
ing Of South Sixth, From Railroad
to South Streets; South Twelfth,
From Doty Street to City Limits,
and Railroad. From Sixth to Eighth

Bids received Friday from two
contractors for the grading of South
Sixth and South Twelfth streets were
found to be too high by the city
I, council and We're rejected. The
council authorized Councilman Good
to readvertise for bids, should he
deem it advisable, but is considering
attempting the work with the city
street crew.
The low bid was 70 cents per
cubic yard for excavation, with so
cents additional for wet excavation.
There is believed to be little wet
excavation. however, in the creek
bed. and this item was not one that
caused rejection of the bids.
IS Only Two Bids Received.
The council received only two bids,
from A. Carlson, of this city, and>the
Carey Stark Company, Of Des
,Moines. The contract would have
called for the grading of South Sixth
street from Railroad street to the
city limits, at South street; South
Twelfth street from Doty street to
the city limits, and Railroad street
from Sixth to Eighth streets.
sCarlson's bid was 20 cents, per
cubic yard for dry excavation; 81 for
wet excavation, and 3 cents per 100
feet for over haul.
The Des Moines firm bid s71s cents
for excavation with the price OF
overhaul to be governed by the pro-
visions Of the state highway COM
Missions standard specifications.
Hope to Exeavate This Fall.
The council hopes to have the work
completed this fall 1t is investigat-
ing the cost to the city in doing the
work with the street crew and If this
can be done at reasonable figure
and without greatly interfering with
the regular work. it may be that no
further effort will be made to secure
bids from contractors.
& 1t is likely, however. that Coun-
Gilman Good will prepare a notice
to bidders asking another estimate
on the work, it being the opinion of
council members that price lower
than that secured Friday may lie
received.
The city does not wish to do the
work with Its own crew because of
the .proba bility that city work might,
interfere with the grading or the
grading work might cause some city

RAGGED STRANGER
Chicago Wife Staying Mystery
Still Unsoived.

CHICAGO, July "A new angle in the
Wanderer Staying mystery was uncovered
by detectives working on the case today
when it was learned that Mrs. Carl Wan
derer, the slain bride of the former army
lieutenant, had drawn $500 from their
joint savings account in a local bank two
days before she was murdered
When confronted with this, her hus-
band who, despite tangle Of contradic-
tory statements he has made, still sticks
to the story that his bride was slain by
a robber, who in turn was killed by him.
In the meantime, Wanderer is being
held at police station under threat
Of being booked formally in connection
with his wife's murder II an attempt is
made to obtain his release on habeas
corpus proceedings.
Detectives are making every effort to
identify the ragged stranger killed by
Wanderer at the time his wife was slain
the supposed robber who, Wanderer
says, started the shooting when the Wan
derers returned home from movie the
alter on the night Of June 81.
They are proceeding on the theory that
the Slain man may in some way have
been involved in matters affecting the

ing, of the American Wholesale Coal as
ISOLATION.
Buyers are being forced TO pay 50

Coal costs "a ton to nnDduce. accord
ing to reports to the federal trade COM

Present coal prices are unjustihable, :"
said Cushing. The country is paying
prices fixed by alarmist reports
Cushing said he had laid his facts be-
fore department OF justice officials.
The department. notified all United
States district attorneys to Investigate
and prosecute cases Of coal profiteering.
Cushing said his denial that coal short
age was responsible for high prices was
based on an estimate that consumption
will not exceed 535 100000 tons for the
twelve months ending March 81, 1921.
