TURMOIL RULES
WHEN PRINTING
BIDS ARE Barred
Three of Eight Firms Fail
to Total Bids; Session
Ends in Furore.

Turmoil prevailed among county
officials today when three of eight
Indianapolis printing firms sub
uniting figures on the 1888 coun-
ty contracts, failed to total bids, as
requested by county commissioners.
The session of commissioners,
Harry Dunn, county auditor, and
printing representatives opened
quietly, but ended in furore.
John Shearer, commissioner, said
he would demnad rejection of the
untotaled bids, while George Sni-
der, commissioner, said the matter
will be turned over to Harvey Gray
bill, county attorney, for investiga-
ton.
Contracts, valued at thousands of
dollars, are to be let on the five
classes of county printing Monday.
Bids on All Types
The Levy and Sentinel Printing
Companies failed to list their totals
in the classes. William B. Burford
bid on all types of county printing,
listing the totals.
Dunn opened and scanned the
bids and then representatives of the
printing companies and Charles Eft
finger, deputy county clerk, de-
manded to know the totals.
I'VE want the totals at once" Et-
finger demanded. His department
uses the majority of the county
printing supplies.
mo, not right away" Dunn said.
TIL have to total them first"
Aroused by the response, Ettinger
and printing firm representatives
pointed to the clause in the invita-
tions to bid, issued by county COM
misSioners.
Dunn Complies EN-.
In these, it was set out printing
firms will be required to place the
totals at the bottoms of each CLASH
fication bio upon and in no case.
will bids be considered, unless regu-
lations are complied with"
Dunn left the room, accompanied
by newspaper men, and compiled
the figures.
This compilation revealed: Glass
1, Levy, $42.05 and Sentinel, 1928;
Glass 2, Levy, $1195 and Sentinel,
$13.O5; Glass 8, Levy, 1924 and Sen
tinel, $16.63; Glass 4, Levy, $5.79 and
Sentinel, $3.50, and Glass 5, Levy,
$17.01 and Sentinel, $3740.
Totaled bids of the Burford COM
pany revealed: Glass 1, $21.37;
Glass 2, $7.29; Class 3, $15.87; Glass
4, $1.90, and Glass 5, 1914.
The Business Furniture Company
bid only on Glass 3, but this was
not totaled. Dunn's compilation
set the total of the company at
$1,000.
For years, county printing bids
have had a cloud cast over them
because of charges and counter
charges, but officials have laid this
to competition" between the bid

AS he landed, his engine was

CHICAGO LEADS
RACE FOR 1882
c. O.P. MEETING
Cleveland Fails to Raise
Needed $4,000; Party
Leaders GrumbIing.

By United Press
WASHINGTON, Dec. 14.-Chi-
cago probably will be given the Re-
publican national convention for
1892.
Cleveland, until recently the IA
yorite, virtually has been eliminated.
III has been unable to raise the
Sl5O,O00 minimum expenses guaran-
tee asked by the Republican ma
tional committee.
officials of the national commit
tee indicated today they expected
Chicago would be selected when
the committee takes its formal vote
Tuesday.
Party leaders have drafted a
tentative schedule of convention
delegates which, If adopted Tues
day, would give the south greatly
increased representative in the ma
tional convention.
Party Faces Quandary
Sixteen states would be reduced
in representation due to the new
congressional reapportionment law
which has cut down their member
ship in congress.
Republican party leaders as
sembled in face of political situa-
ton almost unparalleled in the
party's history. The party just has
suffered a series Of decisive defea .
In the off-year elections.
It lost a congressional seat in
Michigan for the first time in thir-
ty years and one in New Jersey
which hitherto had been carried by
tremendous Republican majorities.
The opposition has taken control
OF the house, always a depressing
omen to the party in power.
Beneath the surface, in hotel
rooms where low-voiced conversa-
lions are going on among arriving
party leaders, there is much grum-
bling and dissatisfaction.
Hoover Draws Blame
Part of it is due to the political
consequences of the depression,
which party leaders acknowledge is
no mans fault.
Part Of it, however, is laid on the
shoulders Of President Hoover.
Some Of the stanchest old-line Re
publicans feel and do not hesitate

XXTACO, Tex, May 11.-Hope
w today was renewed ii the
heart of DR.. Samuel Palmer
Brooks that he would be able to
finish his last self-imposed task
for his students at Baylor univer-
sity before he dies within a few
days.
DR.. Brooks rallied slightly from
a critical lapse and physicians
said it is possible he might COM
plete the signing of diplomas for
the spring graduating class.
Vigor and determination which
marked his thirty-year presidency
of the Baptist institution brough
DR.. Brooks out of a coma Sun
day, which attendants believed
was the end. His death had been
expected momentarily.
When physicians told the presi-
dent his recovery from internal
cancer was impossible, he avowed
a determination to leave his
students a last memento-hiS bold,
angular signature on the 1881
diplomas
When he had signed 300 of the
486, his strength failed, and it ap-
Speared he would leave this one
task unfinished. Today DR.. J. T.
Harrington said it was possible
he might complete it.
