MANUFACTURES SLOW TO BID Money No Longer Flowing Across the Ocean but Keeps Rolling the Other Way. Washington—This is the time when all the government departments are engaged in making contracts foi fixtures, supplies and material, also, | for the construction of public bu-.J i ings. The result of the recent open ! ing of bids demonstrates very clearly ! the condition of business throughout | the country. There are a number of big concerns, ! especially among manufacturers oi steel, that never bid upon government i work when they have plenty of con : mercial business to attend to. They seem to go upon the theory that gov ernment contracts are the least desir able for a manufacturer and the reason is that the technicalities which surround most, of the contracts are i so great and that the action of some of the minor officials and employes of the government in enforcing these technicalities are so annoying as to frequently deprive the contractor of every particle of profit. The most no ticeable difference between bids this year and those of previous openings is found in the time of delivery for con tracts running into thousands of dol lars. Last year it was possible to secure bids ran sing from $3,000 to $10,000 for fixtures and supplies, with deliveries of sixty or ninety days, or at the farthest, four months, in nearly every instance noted this year the ! concerns w hich are recognized as the best and most reliable will not agree to do such amount of government work under six to eight months. The inference drawn by the depart ment officials from this state of affairs is that manufacturing plants are run ning to their fall capacity and that manufacturers do not care to involve themselves in a liability for liquidat ed damages by promising deliveries 1 within a shorter period. In other ! words they have plenty of business aside from that secured from the gov emmect and Uncle Sam igust wait his turn instead of being granted favors not extended to the com I mercial world. Uncle Sam is now annually pouring money into the lap of the rest of the world. In other words, the Sow is no longer in the direction of the United States, from abroad. It is in the direc tion of the rest of the world, from the United States. The balance of trade on the face o! things is still in favor of the United States: that is the statistics of the Department of Commerce and Labor show this country is exporting more than it is importing. Figures recently given out by the Department of Com merce and Labor showed the excess of expons over imports was S1S7J11. 349. This, however, is an extremely small excess the lowest in recent years. MR. HARRIMAN'S WEALTH. Worth Seveity-Ooe Million Dollars When He Died. New York.—Edward H. Harriman was worth $71.60*600 when he died on September 9. 1909.

I BULLS IN STREETS. ATTACK THE GARS MEXICO CITY ENLIVENED BY ANI MALS WHICH ESCAPE FROM CORRAL. DNEJOLTS RED AUTOMOBILE Woman la Killed and Eleven Persons Injured as Fighting Bulls Charge Through the Streets Crashing Into Everything in Sight. Mexico City.—Hundreds of people of this city were treated to an unex pected exhibition of ball fighting wtea 13 bulls, which had just been brought n from the Xcpalan ranch for use in :he bull ring, escaped from the corral at the railroad station and ran ram pant all through the central part of town. The animals were of the most vicious breed and they tackled every moving thing they came across. They were at large fcr more than five hours, and during that time they killed one woman and wounded 11 other persons with their horns. It was early afternoon when the cry was raised by the yard employes at the railroad station that the bulls had escaped. The animals tore through the opening and into the street. They charged in a body upon ad alee'vendor, who was crying his wares upon the other side of the street. The terror stricken Mexican dropped his tray of candy and made a quick get-away around the corner and was fortunate enough to find a small opening into a wailed inclosure through which the bulls could not enter. The depredations of the bulls soon caused widespread consternation. The police were powerless to stop ttetr progress. People fled into their hones ana places of business; doors were shut and barred, and for a time all traffic on the street was snspended. The cochems. for one time in their lives, had to relax from that spirit of independence which they ordinarily take delight In showing, and there was a whipping up of the horses to the red and yellow hacks as they fled from the wrath of the bulls. A few poor horses were removed quickly enough to prevent onslaughts ‘ made upon them by the Infuriated ani mals which quickly ripped them open with their horns and then continued on their Journey of carnage through the town. The big electric street cars seemed to tantalize the bulls more than any thing else. A San Angel car was at tacked from the front by one of the animals while It was bowling along at full speed. The bull was killed by the blow which the heavy car gave him. It was in the Alameda that rare I--1 They Charged In a Body Upon a Du Ice Vendor. sport was witnessed of charges tr^le by the hulls upon the unsuspecting pleasure-seekers who were sitting on the benches. The big trees afforded protection to the frightened people and no one was seriously Injured at that place. There was some lively scrim mages on the part of the men. wom en and children in the park to get be hind trunks of the trees and keep out of sight of the hulls while they held possession of the park. On the side streets the bulls held full possession for several hours Whenever a movable object rame within sight of one of them he would make a dash for it. A ted automobile which was stand ing in front of a store on San Francis -o street was the object of attack by ane or the bulls. He hattered up the machine with his horns and then con tinned his course towards the Na tional palace seeking other victims of his wr a tb it took the police and military de part men t some time to organiie their forces for a round-up of the bulls. The killing of the animals was not con templated. No fighting bull must be killed except In the bull ring. This is an unwritten law of the Mexicans It was past midnight before the last of the bulls had been roped and haded hack to the carrol tn carta. t P DEATH SECRET SEVERAL WEEKS GIRL SAYS SHE AND COMPANIONS SAW BOY DROWN. THEN DENIES HAVING TOLD. New York.—A strange situation arose recently In Flushing, L. L. through the mysterious drowning of five-year-old Willie Rivers of No. 33 Washington street, who met death in Flushing creek and whose body wan found nine days afterward in Flushing, bay. Mr. and Mrs. John A. Rivers, his parents, have been Investigating to learn whether the boy met with foul play. Civic organizations offered, rewards and detectives have beea working. Mrs. Rivers was informed that her son was with five other children when he was drowned and that he lost hi* life through a childish prank. If the story is true five children carried th* secret of her son’s death locked ia Did You Tell Mrs. Rivers You Savt Her Boy Drown? their hearts for an entire month, while the entire community was aroused. Alida Rivers, ten-year-old sister o* the drowned boy, told her mother that Irene Hoy^ ^ ye4r, ^ c'* Washington street, said she had seen Willie drown and she had caused his death without meaning to do so. This was the story Irene Howell told Mrs. Rivers: ' "I was with Willie when he was drowned. So were Anna Hayden, hen brothers Sylvester and Thomas and Ida Stocking. First we went to pick violets. Then we went to the ice house docks at Lawrence street and Broadway. We were chased away from there and went to the Jackson avenue dump. We found an old boat in the creek tied to a post and went on it to play. f “We were lying flat on the boat, waving sticks in the water, when I yelled. Just for fun: "Look, there's a big fish!" Willie Jumped up. scared, and the boat rocked and threw him into the creek. The rest of us were frightened and ran away." "What did Willie say when he fell Into the water r* asked Mrs. Rivers. “He cried 'Mamma! Mamma!' " an swered Irene. When Mrs. Rivera asked Irene why she and the other children had kept this important information secret Irene replied: "My mother told me she'd whip me if I told any one." Mrs. Warren Howell, mother of Irene, heard of her daughter's story. She took Irene to the Rivers home and there questioned the girl In the presence of Mrs Rivers and a re porter. “Did you tell Mrs. Rivers you saw her boy drown?" demanded Mrs. Howell. " Yes. mamma," responded Irena. "Well, did your "No. 1 was fooling her," replied the child “Did I say I would whip you If yoa told any one about thisr “No. I thought it was smart." Irene then said that she had been with Willie on the morning he wae drowned, but did not go to the creek with him. Mrs Hayden, mother of Anna. Syl vester and Thomas, also brought her children to the Rivers home to deny the story told by Irene. Anns Hay den admitted she bad been with Wil lie in the violet field, at the ice dock and at the drawbridge, but asserted she and Irene bad come borne before Willie was drowned. Both Anna and Irene said Ida Stocking was with Wil lie when they left him. but that Thom as and Sylvester were not Ida Stocking, five, who lives at No. 61 Main street said she had been with Willie Rivers, but not when he was drowned. Mrs. Rivers Is ill with worry. Added to the shock of losing her son. thv many stories that have been brought to her have so worked upon her nerves that she is in a state of collapse The Right Way. “What do you think of that aviato* couple's making their wedding trip tv an aeroplane?" “Very appropriate."
