ofllclal position to advance- his Interefct ns i
city contractor , were- given ofllcKil oxlstcoo

charro that ho has used his official ( icsltloi
to advance bis Interest as a contractor
charging that he Is n conttactor and operatint
under the name ot his sc i , and ( .irotestlnt
against the award of the contract to .ils son
Oliver K llardln. Citations are made fron

tention Is called to the fact that thcbo or
dinances were designed to prevent anv col
lusion between any of the city olllecrs anil
the contractors by which the city inlghl
suffer bj dishonest oiactlces
1\io matter will bo Investigated at the
meeting this evc-nlni ; The tioublo has arisen
from the fact that tlio bids for brick side
walk conhtructkn that have been submitted
by Oliver 1C Hardln IMVO been unlfoimlj
loss than these of all other bidders As
the prices came down the other contractors
continued to icdiae their estimates until
the contract price of brick walk constiuctlon
has H ached the point where It Is claimed
to bo less t'.ian the actual cost or the ma
terial This his naturally caused strained
relations between the contractors Iho last
batch of contracts advertised for bids were
presented by Oliver K Hardln , S. Holln &
Co , and John SMnklo Sklnklo was the
lowest on plank walks and one batch of
bl\-foot brick walk , but Haidin was clear out
of sight of the other contractors foi the
remalmlci of the brick walks. It was
charged that Street Commissioner Hardln
went into the engineer's ofllce In the city
building , wrote out his estimate , signed his
son's name to It and filed It with the city
clerk with the remark tlat ho would be
willing to bet that that bid was the lowest
that would be filed The street commissioner
does not deny that he wrote out the esti
mates and signed his bon's name and filed
the Deposition substantially ab chaigcd , but
he asserts that he was acting under inotruc-
ticas from bis son , who Is an adult con
tractor , full ) qualified to bid on city work
and has long been In tlio business. The
fathei claims , ho did this woik merely in a
clerical caiiclt > at the lequcst and for the
accommodation of his son , who could not be
at the city building In time to do the work
himself This , he asserts , Is the only inter
est lie has or had In the contract.

Some members of the committee were vorj

Tbo monument commission hail made a contract -

to make. The contractors could not gel
their pay for the work without completing
It , so of course they completed It , and ni

The new plan of representative districts
Introduced by Representative Whelnn was
unanimously adopted by tbo house commit-
teu on constitutional amendments , of whtcl
Mr. Whelan Is chairman , sa > s a DCS Molncs
correspondent Kven the democrats were
satisfied with it , because It was n matter ol
slmplo justicu and no valid objection coulil
bo made to It The proposed amendment will
undoubtedly pass. Iho bill Is the same OIK
passed last session , giving one member ol
the house to e > ach county and ono additional
and only ono to each coanty having time-
fifths of the ratio In oscess of the ratio ol
population The ratio is fixed by dividing the
population of the state nt the last cenbiis
by the number ot counties , ninety-nine
Under this plan the counties of Polk , Potta-
wattamie , Clinton , Woodbury , Lee , DCS
Moines , Linn , Wapello , Scott nnd Uubuquc
would get two representatives , making 101 in
all Wapello Is the only county that would
gain one The resolution Is almost certain
to pass the legislature. The amendment to
the constitution would then be voted on this
year.

Another Iowa man who has been honored
by Colorado Is Govcuior Grant , a nephew
of the late Judge Grant of Davenport , and
is now largely interested In the mining and

That the Iowa man is In evidence In Colorado
rado was made conspicuous the other day

CHICAGO , Jan. 26 The interstate joint
conference of bituminous coal miners and
operators mot today expecting to receive a
report from the joint scale committee and
arrive at a quick settlement. In this they
wcro disappointed , "however. Word came
from the committee room that no rcpo-t
could bo made , as the committee held a
fruitless meeting last evening and adjourned
until today awaiting the result of a con
ference between Indiana operators and
miners. The continued delay aroused some
strong criticism on Che pait of Illinois
miners , who favored a motion -calling upon
the committee and demanding a report forth
with. National Vice President Mitchell ,
who Is an Illinois miner , prevailed upon his
comrades to restrain their Impatience Ho
said the miners' representatives on the Joint
scale committee were just as anxious as
any ono else to reach a settlement and ho
believed nothing could bo gained by attemptIng -
Ing to force matters , which were slowly but
surely moulding themselves Into a satis
factory settlement. A recess VVUH then
taken.
All Indications point to a quick settlement
of the mining- question The Interstate Join-
convention of coal miners and opwators is
now w ailing to receive the report of the
sealo committee , which will bo about as
followsA genepil advance of 10 cents la
