DARK PAGES IN THE HISTORY OF COLLINS SoiKli Oninlin sjiH-Uiiipn llPi'Hr I" ( irnpliliDolllll tinTrnRlu llplioile Cane l.ooKi ! l oiny tor Defendant. The Ulal of Tom Collins for Iho murder of Clitirlos It. Orovo on the night of Do- ( ember 10 Is progressing rapidly in Judge IJalicr'B court. Two distinctive features mark this case. In the first place , more man ordinary Interest attaches by reason lu which Grove wsis of the ruthless manner Blnln , and secondly , because the oncrgetlo effoflo of Iho defendant's counsel on behalf of a client who scorns to bo upon iho verge of the gibbet. The defense has not fully shown Its hand yet , but two theories are llkoly to be advanced. An effort will be acted In sell- made to prove that Collins defense , that Is , that ho had had trouble with drove a short while before the killing nnd that in the frav the defendant waq roughly handled. The Jlfflcal'v mentioned hits been toinbllflhcd clearly , but thui far there bus been nothing to show that Collins had any provocation on the night of the murder. Another possible line of defense Is thnt Collins was out of his mind when he com mitted the tragedy. Ho looks like the typical degenerate , and It Is Bold ho hnn lu the pn.it exhibited Indications of Insanity. A largo portion of yesterday was taken up In the examination of W. E. HIHIker , ono of the South Omaha men who witnessed the BhootitiR. Mr. llllllker rccltod In graphic detail the story of the killing as he saw it. nnd In his evidence there was not a ray of light to Klvo hope to the man on trial. llllllker characterized the murder nnd atrocious. der a < i unprovoked Ocorgo McBilde , county surveyor , exhib ited and demonstrated a plat of the Interior of the saloon where Orovo wn killed. This was not : i material factor , but rather moio of a routine compliance with a custom thnt has become very common in murder trials. J. O. dimmer also gave testimony which that of Mr. \\ns \ substantially the name as llllllker. Several other witnesses are yet to come , but the ttial H proceeding much more rapidly than the ordinary murder case. jn.Nr.ns us A ii'i3vnuUK ' LAW. o > v loIMI llnlncd In lirt-ntfr Aiurrlen i\poMltlnn : llnnUrii | > < ry TIINO. The hearing In the case before Judge Hun ger In United States court , wherein em ployes and other creditors of the Greater America Exposition seek to have the asso ciation declared a bankrupt has been com pleted nnd submitted. All the creditors , both attaching nnd others , and all the attor neys and olllclals have admitted that the as sociation is insolvent and unable to pay its debts , but the attaching creditors have lalsed point by which they hope to defeat the bankruptcy proceedings. Immediately upon the closu of the Greater America Exposition last October a number o' the credltore attached as&cts here and at other places. Later the employes and other eieditors sought the courts and asked that the association be adjudged bankrupt. Yes terday the attaching creditors nhowed their hands when they ral.sed the point that the association does not come within the pcopo of concerns that can go into cither voluntary or iiuoluntary bankruptcy. They have pointed out that only corporations or- K.inUed for the purpose of trading , manu facturing , publishing , printing or engaging In mercantile pursuits como under the pro visions of the law. Through their attorneys thcso creditors urge that the exposition was in the show and amusement business and that It engaged in none of the lines that would bring It within the scope of the law. This Is the point being argued nnd which Judge Manger Is to decide. It is'contended that If Judge Munger decides thnt the ex pedition cannot bo adjudged a bankrupt the laborers will have to take their chances with other nnsccuied creditors. Should ho decide in favor of the bankruptcy proceedings , then llioao creditors who have attached will have to stand aside anil let the laborers come in and bo llrst In the collection of their claims , Of the capital stock subscribed $31,000 re- malne unpaid , and of this amount It Is salii thai $25,000 is good and can be collected If the assets will not pay the claims It 1 > said that it Is proposed to sue on the stocl < nt once and bring proceedings In attachment in the state courts. The last witness on the stand was Audltoi Stiectcr , who testified fiom the assoclatlor books. He said thnt last July two domain' notes for $ lr ! > 00 each were given and thr : they remained unpaid until after the sale o the buildings to the Chicago House Wreck ing company. On September 8 this compan ; paid in $ 'JO,000 on the puichase of the build ings nnd out of this the notes were paid. A Ihn amo time the sum of $2,100 In premium : on Insuianco policies was paid. On Octobe ; 21 the executive committee adopted a resolu tlon authorizing the appointment of Henr ; Iliuitin as trustee nnd assigning to him fo the benctlt of the laborers all balances dm froir the wrecking company. In giving hi : testimony Auditor Strecter stated that dm Ing the latter da > s of the exposition block1 of tickets were given to creditors about towi in settlement of their claims. The nttotnc ; for the employes brought out this tostlmon ; to show that prior to Its closing the expo l tlon nsBOclatlon committed acts of bank ruptcy and thnt the officials know that the ; toulil not pay the claims In full and In cash OVHH MTTI , O.M > JXrnneril lliiNlianil a nil AVir < * ( Jo lull Court to Si'Ulf Fanillj Trnnlilrn.

The con tract will bo let In five sections , one includ ing the repairs and construction work proper ; another the plumbing nnd steam- heating plant , another the painting nnd plastering , another the drainage and tile work and the last a passenger elcvntor. The bids were opened by Colonel V. II. Hothaway nnd will be sent to Washington for Inspection. The contracts will go to the lovest bidder unless some defect Is found In th < > manner of framing the proposals. Sev eral bids were thrown out because they were not executed In triplicate , or were not ac companied with revenue stamps. Kor the construction work proper eight b'dn ' were submitted , that of Peter Soder- beu . nt $8)72 ! ) , being the lowest. He prom ised to complete the work In nccordnnco with contract In 130 days. Kor plumbing nnd tenm hcntlng the lowest bid was received om John J. Hanlgbcn at $3,100. For reno- atlng nnd painting Henry Lehman was the ovv bidder , his proposal being $1,7CO. The o\v bid on drainage and tllo work was sub- ilttcd by P. A. Stephcnson at ? 3S4 ; for a vdraullc elevator the Otis Elevator com- inny was the lowest bidder at $4GGI , while hat firm was underbid on the electric clova- or by the Warner Elevator company of Cln- innatl at $3,120. The choice of the power es with the department officials. The Department of the Missouri has oc- upied various residences since Us estnb- ishment under Brigadier General P. St. Icorgo Cook in 1SGC. The first headqunrtcrs , ere located In the Caldwell block on Doug- ns street , near Thirteenth , with a portion f the olllces over the First National bank , t Thirteenth and Farnam streets. Two ears later the headquarters were removed o the Hellmnn building on Fnrnam street , ml shortly afterward to the Wlthnell block t Fifteenth and Hnrney streets. The offices remained there until 1878 , when ongress failed to appropriate any money or the support of the army. When that nanclal stress arrived the army officials ad no funds to pay tholr rent and changed heir quarters to Fort Omaha , where they ater occupied the brick structure elected 'or ' the purpose. In 1SSO the headquarters ere once more transferred to the city and iccupled the Strang building at Tenth and ? arnam btreets for ten years. At the end f that time they were located In The Bee ulldlng.

OTHIR DEALERS MAKE LOWER PROPOSALS .No Iiifiiriiindnn Is IJIxen Tlirtu. Ilim- v\er , t nll ( ( Inter lln * llfi-n I'liuu'il MIIIK Mlnlil HUM- Ueell ii\eced. Contractors and material men of this city nnd Chicago have another serious ) griev ance against the Hoard of Education In respect to the placing of Important oon- tacls without Inviting bids. A number of xtenslvo purchases have been iccently nado through the agency of the committee ) ti building nnd property owing to the np- iroachlng completion of the Cass , Satin- deis and Pacific schools. A great deal of complaint was occasioned through the let- Ing of the slate blackboard contract to a Chicago firm for $2,000 , the sum being about $200 $ more than that proposed by the ovvost bidder , C. F. Weber & Co. Th ? recent order for ISfi Venetian blinds with out nny bids having been Invited or ma- erlnl men notified of the contemplated pur chase has aroused still greater dlshatis- 'action. The latter order was placed on Dcccm- ier 18 with Dodge Co. of Chicago , west- urn agents for the Wllbon blind , at 15 cents per square foot. The cost of Blinding the windows of the three new buildings at that rate amounted to $1,071 the size of the tillnds being S' * . by t'fc feet. Since the con tract has been let doaleis In Omaha and Chicago have appealed -who would cheer fully furnish the blinds at 11 cents n square foot , a having to the taxpayers of $214. The dcalcis explain that they made no proposi tion to the board for the reason that their llrst Informntlon came through the an nouncement In the press that the order had been placed. All < * ueil ItoiiNnn for Ilimtc , The reason assigned by Chairman A. M. Cowlo of the building and property com mittee for the evident haste was that the prlco was excessively low and might be withdrawn at any moment. Local dealers , however , testify that the same blind has been put up in Omaha In numerous In stances at as low a prlco as 12 % cents n square foot. Since these Instances oc curred Iho price of blinds hns also de creased. The subject of blinds was first Introduced In the board meeting ono month ago by a report from Supeilntendent of Buildings Banker , calling the board's attention to the fa t thnt the windows were ready for shades The matter was referred to the committee on buildings and propetty. On December 18 Chairman Cowle of the committee retuinci his report , urging the purchase of the Wil son blinds. He stated that the recommenda tion was concurred In by his colleagues on the committee Johnson , Black and Band- hnuer brit bad not been endorsed by Bur gess , the fifth member. He said that accordIng - Ing to information furnished him by Wil son's agents the price was exceptionally low and could not long be in force. The bale of the goods at the rate quoted , the agents added , would bo at an absolute loss. Cowle therefore deemed It wise to place the order without advertising for bids. I1-a for Other Illds. Burgess called attention to the fact that the testimony as to the lownebs of the price and the ruinous loss Involved had been given solely by the parties Intelested.
