proximately two and one-half millions
Of dollars. 1t therefore became nee

Highway Department, to provide hous

a building was erected at Mitchell tC
be used as a State Highway Supply
Depot, at which this property could
be and actually was received, stored
repaired and made available for use.
The corrugated sheet iron or steel with
which the building was enclosed, as
we'll as the roofing material was re-
ceiyed with the other equipment and
supplies from the federal government
and the actual cost to the state was
a trifle over $~19,00O.0O.
In letting contracts for highway
construction, the State Highway De
partment has been confronted with
many p~erpleXing problems. Approx
imately 1000 miles of road have been
completed and about 300 miles are un-
der construction. When the Depart
ment called for bids for the graveling
of the Observation-Disclosures Counties Fed
eral Aid Project Al, the lowest bid re-
ceiyed was $72,19S.6O. All bids were
rejected and a second call made for
bids, and these were likewise rejected
because the lowest bid vas $37, 500 AS.
On the third call the lowest bid was
$3l,S98.9S and the contract vas let at
this figure. This amounted to a saving
Of $40, 299.02 over the first bid.
On June Sth, 1922, the Department
called for bids on nine projects. On
two of the projects bids were salts
factory and the contract let. On seven
of them the lowest bid was 1910, SOC. 90.
These bids were rejected and ten days
later on another call for bids the con
tracts were let at 1864, 600. 90, a saving
Of SAC, 10000.
Again when bids were called for
on Federal Aid project No. 20, Corson
County, the lowest bid for graveling
was $~30,132.60, whereas on a subse-
quent call this contract was let for
$l0.3S4.10, sc percent below the first
bid, with a saving of $19,7S4.50.
Similarly, when bids were received
for Federal Aid Project No. ga, Union
County, King of Trails Highway, for
graveling, the lowest bid was SAP, 297.-
81, while on a subsequent call this con

this contract was let at S24,415.74, a

Almost innumerable other illustra-

purpose of showing that every safe

Stranggled Chinese
Is Believed Victim
OF Sailors Tong
Butler Is Found i'm Hallway.
Tied in Bag, With Cord
Drawn Taut About Neck
and Face Cut by Hatchets

Quong Tom. Chinese whom Will
liam Shivers, of 152 West Fifty eighth
Street, employed as a butler, was
found murdered yesterday, his body
wrapped in a gayly coored comfort
able and tied up in a sailors kit bag,
one hand protruding, in the hallway of
81 East Broadway.
Comfortables of similar design were
found displayed in front of Max
Zetrin's store at 76 Allen Street last
night and Zetrin told detectives that
two Chinese had bought one from him
Thursday night. saying that they
wanted one that was thick and warm.
death was due to strangulation, line
having been knotted deftly about
Quong Toms throat and drawn taut.
His face had been stove in with hat
chefs, however, the men who killed him
apparently finding that death by
stranguation was too slow.
About fly Chinese were examined
during the day by Captain Carey, of
quarters. Many Of the men questioned
were sailors. 1t is thought that Quong
Tom might have been a member of a
sailors tong and been killed IN accord
ance with decree of the tong tribunal
Chinese in Soy KEGS importing
house in Mott Street who is learned in
tong lore said that it was possible that
the offense for which Quong Tom was
put to death might have been COM
mtted in some Chinese port and that
hatchet men bearing his death warrant
might have been on his trail for years,
finding him at last in service as but
Ter, half way around the world from
the starting point of their quest
The police and the Chinese whom
they interrogated were agreed that the
death of Quong Tom was in no way
connected with the murder OF Ko Low,
national head of the Hip Sing Tong a
few weeks ago.
Quong Tom lived at &c Division
Street with three other Chinese They
said that he was Industrious and law
abiding and so noted for integrity that
he was custodian of their joint funds,
from which he paid the houshold ex-
penses
Frank Arnone, who lives at 81 East

Party, Held To BE Liquor

Two Fast Autos; One of
Victims Is a PatroIman

The police are looking for ten mon,

bound and gagged four men, includ-
ing patrolman. in the Cauldwell
Garage, 627 East 156th Street, yes
terday while searching for truckload
of liquor they hoped to find there.
The men drove into the garage in
two expensive touring cars. Martin
Braun. an employee, was alone there
and one of the group leveled gun at
him and demanded: "Where is that
truchload of liquor" Braun told him
there was no liquor in the place and
they bound and gagged him, throwing
him in a small room in the rear of the
garage.
Two of the men began hunting
around for the whisky they insisted
was there. They ripped open the
and also went through The desks and
cabinets of Shapiro and Breslaucr, the
garage owners, in their search Mean
while the other eight were on guard at
the door and Patrolman William Bost-
wick, of the Morrisania station, came
along and asked them what they were
doing.
Were revenue officers" they re-
piled, and before the policeman could
say anything more he was dragged in
side and his pistol and nightstick taken
away. The patrolman, bound and
gagged, was placed alongside of Braun.
Next came Joseph Costello, fruit
merchant of 724 Westchester Avenue.
who entered to get truckload of
fruit. He was accorded similar treat
ment. as was William Fritz, a taxicab
chauffeur, of 779 Elton Avenue. No at
tempt was made to rob them Costello
had 5000 in his pockets and the others
smaller amounts of cash.
The hunt for the phantom liquor was
abandoned finally and the ten men hur-
ried off in their automobiles. They
first took the precaution to cut wire
IN the motor of the taxicab. At the
same time Costello managed to free
himself and liberated the others. They
ran to the taxicab to start in pursuit,
and while they were tinkering with
It's motor the two big machines had
vanished down the street

Inc nineteen members of the
senior class of Mineola High School
and ten sympathetic juniors who went
out on strike yesterday have found to
their dismay that their parents side
with Principal j. |. Al1crt, it was
learned last night. President Mccarthy
OF the Mineola Board of Education
conferred with the fathers and
mothers of the striking students and
was told that the classrooms will be
filled again Monday.
The walk-out was the result of a
disagreement between Norman Smith.
president of the senior class, and Mrs
Warren c. Clendcnny, teacher of
French and English. The instructor re-
proved him because she said she had
seen him lettering in the hall when he
should have been studying. Smith
complained to the principal. who
backed up Mrs Clendenny. and the
student was sent home, Mr.. Allart said,
"hen ne became impudent.
The boys in the senior class voted
unanimously for strike Yesterday
morning, and the girls followed suit
IN the afternoon. Ten juniors trailed
them out into the fresh air, leaving
intact only the two under classes.
