A, Barope Construetion ( of Hartford, the Hartford firm being the lewer bidder, with $13,002,60, Ber- pardine & Manocchio bid §13,690, Commissioner Facelle felt that dus te the fact that Bernardine & Manoe- | ehio are building the east side sew [line at & loas of bhetween §5,000 | 81,000 the firm ought to be awarded the contract, During the discussion it was found that although the bid ‘hnlul was supposed to cover 10 per cent of the bid, Barone's bond was | 81,000 instead of $1,300, Commis- sioner Kenny made a motion that the |contract be given to the lowest bid- |der, providing he increase his bond [to the correct amount, This motion was seconded by Commissioner Ohl. |mon, and it was voted to award the contract to the Hartford company, The city engineer was instructed to j| have a recommendation in faver of the local concern, to present to the common councll, in case Barone falls to fle the correct bond. These were the nine bids ived: Joseph 8.

The matter was laid over for imspection. Sewer iu Mill Street A hearing was given on the installa- tion of a sewer on Mlll streot. This was a continuation of a hearing, held ! last week as a petition was entered at that hearing for the sewer to be installed from South Main strcet to Logan street, instead of from South Main street to 55 Mill street, the orlg- inal plan. There was only ’one party in favor of the Installation of the sewer as far as Logan street. The board‘voted to order the installa- tion of the sewer to 55 Mill street and give the petitioner, for the further construction of the sewer, leave to withdraw. Electrical Superintendent George Cooley was given permission to re- place two poles on Center street which are dangerous. H Cost of Slicing Cormer A letter was received from Vice- President G. T.

ELWELL AND KEENAN SLAYERS ARE KNOWN Not Evidence Enough to Convict, New York, Oet, 17, = The slayers of Jaseph B. Elwell and of Doru'llu‘ King Keenan, victims in two of New York's most notorious unsolved mur- r mysteries, are known to the po- \ice, Police Commissioner Enright di closed last night in a radlo lecture on “polios problems.’ ut,” Enright hastened to explain, “We have been unable to get the one per cent additional legal evidence to make arrests.” Y Elwell, widely known sportsman and bridge expert, was slain in his| apartment in May, 1920, after he had been host at & roof garden party atop one of this city's most noted hotels. Dorothy (Dot) King, beautiful dway “Butterfly”, was slain in her apartment off IYfth avenue lnst March., Each of the cases is officially recorded at police headquarters as un- solved, “In these unsolved cases our books are not closed until the last principal involved is dead,” said Enright to his radio audlence, “About the Elwell and Dot King mysteries — many of these cases are not gysteries to the police department. ~The murderers are known."” s The commissioner then explained that his homicide experts were “mor- ally certain” they could put the hand- cuffs on the perpetrators of the two murders he named, but lacked suffi- clent legal evidence to justify arrests. “The department never sleeps,” he continued. ““We hope some day to get the other one per cent of evidence. It is better to be sure of your shot than to miss. I will let ‘you know about some more interesting cases in our next talk. I guess I have been only whetting your appetites. Good night.” " OUTBREAK OF MOROS American Troops Asked To Aid In Putting Down New Philippine Up- rising 'on Mindanao Island. By The Assoclated Press. Manila, Oct. 17.—Another sanguin- ary outbreak of Moros in Lanao Province, Island of Mindanao, was re- ported here today, and the aid of United States troops was asked by the provincial authorities. The advices said the Moros, charg- ing on a school house at Lake Buluan last Bunday, killed thrée teachers and 10 members of the Philippine con- stabulary. The troops slain included a lientenant, a scrgeant and eight pri- vates, Details of the encounter were lack- ing this afternoon. In the recent months the military authorities have been called on to suppress several outbreaks. Fifty- elght Moros were killed in various battles since last May, but until the present incident casualties among the constabulary had been nominal. The hatred of the Moros has been directed at the . constabulary, composed of Fillpinos, rather than at the American administration, and has been inspired by religious fanaticlam.
