rendered a veinilet that Mr. Harrison
came to his death as the result of a '
fracture of tin.- base of the skull, caused
by being struck by a car of the Vir- \
gin).. Railway a..d Power Company, j
and that the accident was due to tin; I

SUPPLIED
W itnesses Say They Were Not .
Informed City W as to
Furnish It. j
It was shown last night In the fur?
ther investigation of the charges j
brought by Clarence G. Biirtoii against,
lite City Engineer's office that out ol
a total expenditure of something like
{213,00*0 for city sewer work in 1910 j
the purchase of stone for sewer con- .
struction totaled IC5B.29. Also that |
'if this latter amount only went I
on sewers where specifications were',
interlined so that the contractor was '
to furnish stone.
Jt was also shown that in a comparl- J
iioh of bids among contractors. Mr. !
Hurton was nearly always awarded
the contract, although never the low?
est bidder, and that frequently aftei !
deducting the cost of what was spoken
of as "inlet'' oi "basin" stones from
Mr. Burton's bids, he was still not. the
lowest bidder, although the contract
was awarded to him. This made It
appear to the committee that he. bud
not be discriminated against by the
Engineer's Department.
Many Wltncftkea.
The committee met last night at the
City Hall a: S o'clock and sat untii
midnight, when the heating was ad?
journed until next Thursday after?
noon at 4:30 o'clock. Many wltnesseh
were introduced, some testifying at
great length. Little ' additional light
was thrown on the situation, however
and neither Contractor Burton no:
City Engineer Boiling took the chair,
l-'ur ? Esbed Stone.
Hunter Burton, of the firm of Burton
Drlseoll, was first called. The wit?
ness, replying to questions from At?
torneys O'Flaherty and Fulton, said he
.lad been awarded several contracts
oy tlte city for sewer work. That In
all work <l.?ne by him bis firm supplied
the stone. That at no time was lie
ever Informed |>y any person connected
with the City Fngincer's office that th?
city did not require him to furnish
stone, fie bid on tho contracts, which
wort four in number, making an allow
ance for furnishing stone.
Mr. Burton was examined as to the
cost of stone used by him, after which
he was excused.
I nderHtnod Illd.
Contractor I. J. Smith was next call?
ed, and said that on the Cary Street
sewer he bid with expectation of sup?
plying stone.
In the next contract awarded by the
City to -Mr. Smith he bad bid with the
Understanding that he was not to
supply stone, did not include it In Iii.?
bid and did not supply it. This stone
was supplied by the city.
Colonel George Wayne Anderson
. ounsel for the city, asked the wit?
ness If he hud not on one occasion
been overpaid for his work. He re?
plied that he had once been over?
laid, that he had called the. attention
of the City Fngineer's department to
this and had refunded the amount over?
paid .to the city.
Contractor W. v.. Fletcher was call?
ed. W"itness introduced a letter writ?
ten by him to City Engineer Rolling,
saying that lie was not required un?
der his contract t<> furnish stone, but
onl> to haul stone supplied by the
city to the work on the sewers.
Dictated Letter.
Mr. Fletcher was asked where hr
had written the letter Introduced, Ho
replied that he had not written, but
lind dictated it in the offices of tlte
City Engineer to p. P. Talia ferro. First
Assistant Cjty Fngineer, and at the

filed, i
It was shown by witness that out of
this $656.29 paid for stone, the city had
furnished and could account foi
$580.5 I This left $70.75 unaccounted
for.
Custom of City.
Witness said h? had been associated i
with the City Engineer's Department i
for about twenty-two years, and that
during this time, up until 1910, it bad
been the custom of the city to supply |
Its own stone. That It had frequently
been required that tho contractor hau! '
this stone.
The statistical paper fll<m by Mr. :
Tallaferro showed that the $6.ri6.2n was,
identified with contracts for building
170 basins to city sewers, of these,
the city supplied stone for 111 basins,
'.chile stone for the remaining thirty
eight basins was furnished by con- j
tractors.
Mr. Fulloh ashed witness how many
contracts for sewer work between
Mat rh 23 and December 22. 1910 wore
found to have been Interlined in ink.
requiring the contractor to furnish
stone.
Mr. Tallaferro replied that he knew
of as many as six such contracts, fib
said, however, thu/t this number nilght
not embrace till, as he had not re?
viewed every contract for sewer work
bctwejn those dates. These contracts
called only for such work as was given
? it by Mr. Bolton, and wid not Include
ill sewer work givon out by the .-if.
between the two Riven dates.
Stone Not Charged.
Replying to questions from Mr
O'Flahcrty, witness Kb Id that an un- I
known number of ??tot, Hewer stones' \
were furnished in sewer work of the '
e-itv and never charged up. These |
fe t?n es are of both circular and straight
variety, The former are valued at ?

tier's offieo.
Witness was asked by Colonel An
ilerson to produce certain bundle/; of;
I ids on contracts awarded Contractor
Clarence Cl. Burton. Upon producing
these bids (? was ascertained that In
every instance in which contracts had
beeil awarded Burton there had been
other contractors who Underbid him.
That in spite of this the contracts v. ere
not given to the lowest bidders, but
frequently to Contractor Burton when
Ids bid was considerably in advance I
of others.
It was asked that witness figure out
,;.e various bids for brick, piping and1
stone, separating the several items in ?
the bids.
Wonted n Itent.
Mr O'Flahcrty. arose to a point of)
order. He begged in th<> name of hu j
fn ah I ty that the hearing be not thus j
indefinitely protracted: that such i< ,
procedure would drag on for weeks.
He said that Colonel Anderson had
already labored under a misapprchen !
gion regarding the testimony of Con- I
tractor C. G. Burton. "In fact." s.aid ;
-Mr. O'Flahcrty. "Mr. Burton has not j
as yet been on the stand. Colonel An?
derson has been dreaming, and I fear
we may all be soon asleep."
The original letter written hv Con?
tractor Burton, charging unfair dis
crimination in the awarding of con?
ti a- ts by tin City Engineer's Depart?
ment was here called for and read.
it was explained by counsel for Bur?
ton that charges in this letter were di?
rected against the general conduct ol
the City Engineer's Department, ami
were not intended to reibet upon Indi?
vidual honesty on the part of any one
official i.u that depart m> nr.
Hiinmiv Position';
It was further explained that Con?
tractor Burton did not complain of
having lost any contract by unfriend?
ly discrimination, and never nref>?*red
such a charge, but that he did charge
specifically that discriminations bad
been indulged in by the City En?
gineer's office, and that he was fully
prepared to sustain this charge.
Allen Savllle whs the next witness,
and began by admitting that he had
himself been responsible for a. grave
error. He made this in calculation,
amounting to $1,510, while working
hurriedly to complete papers coverinp.
tin- construction of five separate sew?
ers. There were other errors made by
others in preparing estimates on the
five sewers discussed.
Cnu?e of I.rrtir*.
The $1.510 error made by Mr Saville
was In charging CO cents instead of ?11
cents per cubic yard for excavations
nhd the removal of dirt.
Other errors were In estimating 700
cubic yards to be 4.2"0 cubic yards:
1;000 feet of piping to be 5,000 feel of
piping, and 1,200 bricks to be- 102,.
bricks.
The first known of these errors was
through Contractor Burton, who call?
ed by the City Engineer's Department
and reported one, or some, of them to
: those there employed.
! J. Taylor Stratton outlined the melh?
i od of checking accounts employed bv
I the City Engineer.
j It was a little before midnight wh^n
it was suggested that Contractor Clar?
ence <i Burton be allowed to testify,
I but Attorney Fulton explained that Mr.
i Burton's testimony would be very ex?
tended, and it was decided to adjourn.

A WARNING TO MANY
Some Interesting Facts Regarding
Health Statistics
Few people realize to what extent their
health depends upon the condition of tho
kidneys.
The physician in nearly all cases of
serious illness makes a chemical analysis
of the patient's urine. He knows that
unices the kidneys arc doing their work
properly the other organs cannot be
brought back to health and strength.
When the kidneys are neglected or
abused in any way serious'results arc sure |
to follow. According to health statistics,
Brjght's disease, which is really an ad?
vanced form of kidney trouble, caused
nearly ten thousand deaths in 1909 in the
Slate of New York alone Therefore, it
behooves us to pay more attention to the
health of these most important organs.
An ideal herbal compound that has had
remarkable success as a kidney remedy
is Dr. Kilmer's Swamp-Root, the great
Kidney, Liver and Bladder Remedy.
The mild and healing influence of this
preparation is soon realized. It stands
the highest for its remarkable record of
cures.
If you feel that your kidneys require
attention, and wish a sample bottle, write
tu Dr. Kilmer & Co., Bingharnton, N. Y.
Mention this paper and they will gladly
forward it to you absolutely free, by mail.
I Swamp-Root is sold by every druggist
in bottles of two sizes?50c and $1.00.
