Contractors Seek to Combine on
"Fair" Man for the Office.
TWO MENTIONED AS DESIRABLE
William Arrrlaa r M. J. laeey, It
la Tknaght, Will Be Agree
On mm tha Preferred
Caaaldate.
Though the paving contractors deny It !
and say they are all at loggerhead with'
one another, clerks In the offices of the
contractors confirm the story that the
paving Interests are trying to form a com
bine for the election of a favorite for city
engineer.
This story has gained circulation In the
city hall and employes of the engineering
department are of the opinion that either
William Aycrlgg or M. J. l,acey will be
solected by the paving Interests. Mr. Ay
crigg has not as yet filed, though Mr
Iacey's petition was filed some time ago,
as well as one by Thomas Shaw. John P.
Crick, assistant city engineer,, will file a
petition Wednesday or Thursday, and An
drew Rosewater, city engineer, has a peti
tion out.
It transpires that the first meeting of
the contractors was held at the Henshaw
early last week before 'Colonel" Fanning
mutinied and left for Excelsior Springs.
Nothing waa done at thla meeting and the
contractors got together again Saturday,
with the same result. A third meeting was
to have been held Monday evening, but It
failed to materialise.
George F. Munro, superintendent for
Hogh Murphy, paving contractor, said that
the paving men were anxious to elect a
"fair" official. Other contractors agreed
with him that with a good engineer a com
bine on prices would not be necessary.
Hugh Murphy and Charlea E. Fanning,
two of the largest paving contractors, are
at Excelsior Springs. They do not recog
nlte one another at home, but employes In
the city engineering department ara of the
opinion that theae two are conferring at
the health resort.

dressed In cltiacn s clothes, and arrested
the keeper and helper after gathering evi
dence against the men.
In the hearing It waa contended by Der
ek's attorney that he should not be fined
under the Siocumb law, aa he had made
no sales of liquor himself and his govern
ment license did not hold him responsible
for the acts of his agent. It waa admit
tedt that Albes bad sold beer. However, th
Judge held that both men were guilty as
charged, so he Imposed the fines, which
are provided to be 1100 each in all cases.
Lincoln Connor, a negro, who waa ar
rested at the same time and from the
same place as Derek and Albes and was
charged with gambling on the police record,
waa dismissed from custody Tuesday morn
ing. No complaint was filed by the dep
uty county attorney or by the city proae-
cutor, the clrcumstancea of the arreat and
the insufficient evidence In their opinions
making the grounds for a case against
Connor too weak to warrant the filing of a
complaint.

he has been onnrected with the American

"I do not think," sakt he, "that the rest

Cubans can be extinguished during this

classes in Cubathe rich and the ex

as in this country. The unscrupulous and
adventurous spirits of the richer class can
always rely upon a big following from the
poorer class, and a revolution can be
started there In little or no time.
"I think as a rule that the native Cuban
would prefer the Spanish to the American
occupation. Under the Spanish. system the
country was run on the loot, rob, tax,
graft and brigandage System, and the Span
ish grandees encouraged the system as a

In a recent Interview Mrg. Root Bald: "I seldom taka

"A revolution was a good pretext for
