( SIGNAL VICTORY FOR GEAR Republican Oauousea Ecanlt Very Farorably for Present Senator. CUMMINS FACTION IS BADLY DEFEATED iA. S. Ilncclton , Ocnr Candidate for State Solicitor , Get * Flflr-Tliree of the Slxty-Konr DcIcKnten to the Convention. The republican caucuses In this city last night resulted In a signal victory for A. S. Hazelton , the Gear candidate for state senator , and ho will go into the county con vention next Wednesday with fifty-three of the sixty-four delegates selected , while Colonel C. G. Saundcrs , the Cummins candi date , will have but eleven back of him. As had been fully anticipated , owing to the keen Interest taken In the senatorial con test , which wns the all-absorbing factor , the primaries last night drew out the big gest attendance over known In the city. In fact so largo was the attendance In some precincts that the number of ballots cast exceeded the recognized vote of the pre cinct. Both Rides worked like beavers the entire day and until the vote was counted , both the friends of A , B. Cummins and the followers of Senator Gear being equally sure of victory. In come of the precincts the contest was remarkably close and spir ited nnd It was a toss-up as to which fac tion had gained the day until the result was officially announced. The friends of Mr. Cummins recognized that they had an up hill fight on their hands and when the out come was known they took their defeat philosophically , realizing that they did the best they could for their candidate. With an overwhelming majority of the city dele gation at his back the nomination of A. S. Hazelton for state senator Is conceded. The First precinct of the First ward re turned a Cummins delegation by a vote of 70 to 65 , while the Second precinct of that ward went for Gear almost two to one , the vote being 112 to 61. In the First precinct of the Second ward Gear carried the day , the delegation fa vorable to him being selected by 82 to 56. Content In the Second. In the Second precinct of the Second ward occurred the hottest fight of the day and the result was that there will be two con testing delegations from thla precinct. .The trouble arose over the appointment of a chairman. Precinct Commlttecman G. G. Balrd , a Gear man , on calling the caucus to order , appointed Ovldo Vlen permanent chairman without giving the caucus a chance to nominate Ita own chairman. Vlen on taking his place Immediately pro ceeded to name a secretary and two tellers without asking the wishes of the voters present. This aroused the temper of the Cummins men and they placed C. B. Altchl- son In nomination as chairman. The chair refused to entertain the nomination and for nearly half an hour paudomonlum reigned. Finally a division was called for and while the followers of Cummins were gathering In one end of the room the Coal men proceeded to hold their caucus. Then the Cummins faction decided to hold a eeparate caucus. The vote In the Gear cau cus gave Gear 131 votes and Cummins 13 , while In the Cummins caucus the ballots showed 150 for the Des Molnes candidate nnd 41 for Gear. The delegates selected by the Cummins faction last night stated that they would contest the right of the other delegation to be seated In the convention next Wednesday. In the flrst precinct of the Third ward the Gear followers outnumbered the Cum mins men two to one , Hazelton's delega tion being elected by a vote of 137 to 65. The Second precinct of this ward returned a divided delegation , four being for Gear and ono for Cummins. The vote In this precinct was neck and nock and It was any body's victory until the official count was announced. About 250 ballots were cast here. The First precinct of the Fourth ward was conceded to Gear and the Cum mins people made no effort to select a dele gation. The delegates were selected by a committee and received consequently the unanimous vote of the caucus. In the Second precinct , however , the con- teat was very close , the Gear delegation being selected only by a majority of three votes , sixty-two ballots being cast for Gear as against fifty-nine for Cummins. The First precinct of the Fifth ward went for Gear by a vote of 109 to 88 , but the Second precinct reversed the order of things and erected a Cummins delegation with 93 votes against 56 for Gear. The First precinct of the Sixth ward was carried by the followers of Gear and they elected tholr delegation by a vote of 121 to 78 for Cummins. Although no official re turns were received lost night from Cut-Off , which constitutes the Second precinct of the Sixth ward , it was generally conceded that the one delegate from this precinct would be for Senator Gear. The country precincts will hold their caucuses tonight While the Cummins men ore hopeful of securing some of the town- ehlps , it la generally conceded that the ma jority of the delegation will be aeafnut him and In favor of Gear , I.Ut o The following are the delegates selected hut night : First ward , First precinct : ( Cummins delegation ) Carl Morgan , Charles Atwood , Ed Fuiror , W. 0.

HUOIIF.S OUTS THI3 CONTRACT. II111 of $ -,7,700 UrliiKn the IIlRli School IMiifi < o Him. The Board of Education held ft special mooting yesterday afternoon at the Bloomer bulldlcg and decided to award the contract I for the construction of the now high school building to George F. Hughes on his bid of $57,700. The award , however , was made con ditionally and tht/ contract will not bo for mally entered Into between the board nnd , Hugos until after the decision of State SuperIntendent - . Intondont Barrett In the T. L. Smith nlto i appeal caao Is received , and only then pro viding the ruling upholds the action of the board In eel6ctlng the Oakland avenue prop erty as the location for the new high school. | The resolution awarding the contract condi tionally also provides that It shall not bo entered Into until the title of the property Is vested In the school district. This action was taken yesterday so that bidders might know to which the contract was to go , to avoid any further delay after the ruling of the state superintendent Is known and which the board believes will be I favorable to It. It developed that Hughes had arranged to subcontract for the carpenter work In t.hn event of his being awarded the contract to a party who was not acceptable to the members of the board. The plans and specifications tinder which the bids were made provide that the persons securing the contract shall furnish the architects with the names of their subcontractors and that they must bo satis factory to them. Hughes said he was' anxious to meet with the wishes of the board and agreed not to employ the carpenter objected to. Hughes' bid of $57,700 was the lowest received. The president and secretary were author ized to complete the contract with the arch itects , Cox & Schoentgen , who prepared the plans and specifications for the new high school. The contract provides that they ehall receive $2,600 for the entire work , which Includes the supervision of the construction of the building. This Is to be paid them In three amounts , the first Installment of $750 on the signing of the contract , $750 when the building Is under roof and $1,000 when the school has been completed and turned over to the board. The compensation to the architects la a little over 4 per cent on the cost of the building. Under the contract. Messrs. Cox & Schoentgen are to give dally supervision to the work of construction. An attempt on the part of Hess to Intro duce a resolution restoring the salaries of the principals who had been reduced was thwarted by Moore , who objected to any such action being taken In the absence of Stewart and Cooper of the finance commit tee. Before Introducing his motion , Hess stated1 that he wished to make a few re marks In explanation of his vote at the reg ular meeting , at which he supported the re port of tfio finance committee reducing the salaries of the principals. He now was sorry that ho had voted to support the report anil , after thinking the matter over , felt that It was wrong to reduce the pay of teachers who had reached their present po sitions by years of service and merit. He thought It was all wrong and If any cutting was to bo done It was the salaries of the grade teachers that should be reduced. As he was about to Introduce his resolution , Member Moore Interposed , saying that they ought to postpone the matter until Cooper and Stewart were present. This , he said , he believed was only justice to the two members of the finance committee who had 'been ' mainly responsible for the. cut In the salaries. President Sims said he was pre pared to vote right there and then and did not see the necessity of putting the matter off until Stewart and Cooper were present. This brought Moore to his feet again with the remark that It was not fair. Hess said : "I want to be fair and If the board so wills It , will wait until Cooper and Stewart are present. " Swalno said he was In favor of postponing the matter , but Henry was ready to vote. Further discussion of the question elicited from Moore the admission that the reason he had supported the report reducing the salaries was because the board hod refused to reappolnt E. R. Fonda as supervisor ot buildings. He said : "Hitherto I have al ways kept politics out of the board and , although I have always been In favor of paying liberal salaries , I had to stick to my friends and by voting as I did I secured another vote for Fonda , although It failed to elect him. " Sims Do you mean to say , Mr. Moore , that In order to retain Fonda you voted to reduce the salaries of the principals al though iln your heart you were opposed to such a course ? Moore I had to stand by my friends nnd when politics were Introduced by the other members , and Fonda turned down In favor of a republican , I thought I would Inject a Ilttlo politics myself. After a little further discussion the in cident was closed by Hess agreeing to post pone the matter until nwct Tuesday night , when the board will hold an adjourned meeting.
