MAYOR TO SIGN. PAVING PLANS
Will Approve hew Specifications
Against the Protest of City
Engineer Rosewater.
Mayor Moore will sign the paving apeel
fictions approved by the council and sub
mltted by the majority members of the
Board of Public Works.-He will do this
because he considers it the only way to
get any specifications at all for paving this
year.
Speaking of the specifications, the mayor
said: ..... .
"If I reject these It Is Impossible to tell
when we will get others approved by the
council In view of the friction in the Board
of Public Works. Several councllmen who
voted for them have changed their attitude
and urged me to veto them, it seems to
me that this is the only way to get the
path cleared for any paving rt all this
year and I feel In duty bound to sign the
resolution of approval. Brick block Is ad
mitted, despite assertions to the contrary.
While the specifications are not all that
might be desired, they are not altogether
bad. At least they will give us paving that
la badly needed."
City Engineer Rosewater Wednesday sent
a protest to the mayor against the spec I
flcatlons. In giving hi reasons Mr. Rose-
water said:
"The engineer is practically eliminated
from the use of professional knowledge In
any respect In these specification and all
expert determinations are reserved by the
two majority members. Instead of allow
ing tho engineer, or the chairman,' to take
samples daily for testing purposes from
the. material actually delivered and used
for asphalt pavements they provide that
he must take sample furnished by the
contractor."
In .concluding hi letter Mr. Rosewater
ays: .. ..
"If you desire to eliminate the engineer
as an expert from public work and make
him simply a stake driver it Is your priv
ilege to do so, and thus relieve him of the
responsibility to exercise authority aimed
to be given him by the charter; but I want
you to do It with your eyes open. If you
want to sit down on a public officer for
trying to protect the city and place a laurel
leaf upon1 those whom the council itself,
after Investigation, condemned, that Is; also
the privilege of yourself and council, and
I will rest with the consciousness of hay.
rng done what Is in my power to promote
public Interests rather than to play the
subservient tool of combination that have
been operating for the past1 year to have
specifications made - in their especial in
terest." " ' '- '- '

Concrete result of the series of political
conference held at the White House dur
ing the last week have not been reached
on several of the Important topics under
discussion. It was said today by authority
that the conferences held are only the be
ginning of many , that,. will , be held from
time to time before the Chicago conven
tion. The expectation that a decision re
garding the chairmanship of the republican
national committee will be reached before
the convention assembles, but that It hns
not been reached yet. It 1 asserted posi
tively. The president ha adhered to his determ
ination announced months ago not to per
mit himself to be drawn into any contest
that might arise over the nomination of a
candidate for the vice presidency. Natur
ally, he is interested in the matter, but
he believes that It ought to be determined
by the party leaders in the-convention,
without suggestion from him.

duties collected on goods shipped from the
United States to the Philippines after the
treaty of peace with Spain end before the
establishment ot civil government, were
rightfully collected, though by military au
thority and not by law. The decision fol
lows the insular decision of the supreme

State territory. The case decided was tho
claim of Warner Barnes A Co., a British
corporation, which' sued the United States
for $S1,126. Other claims resting on ex
actly the same foundation aggregate be
tween 17.000,000 'and 18,000,000. By the de

government. . ..
Warner, Borneo .ft Co. sued for tariffs
collected at Manila upon Importations - of
merchandise oomhe United States, after
the treaty of peace .with Spain, and it was
argued that unqer the authority of the In
sular cases, lately decided by the supreme
court of the United States,' the levy and
collection of such tariffs was illegal for the
reason that at the time of such collection
the Philippine archipelago wa not a for
eign country In., respect to the . United
States after the exchange of ratifications
of the treaty by the governments of the
United States and Spain.
