About a month ago the councilman and Billy Donnelly signed the bond of B. A. KKoen, represontativa of a Kaneas City paper, for bis appearance in tho district court when he was arrested ou complaint of W. S. Shcemaker on the charge of criminal livel. According to [lsusser's { statement bie was anxious to be releascd from the bond, and so informed Koen about a week ago. Several times during the week the request to bo reloased was made and cach time [oen promised to attend to the matter. About 5 o'clock yesterday afternoon Mr. | Eisasser ran Koen ‘down and stated that ho had come to take Koen ana turn him over to the authorities. Kocn expressed a willing- ness to go and regretted that ho Lad been too busy to attend to the bond. He askec for a little mors time, which re- quest was granted. ‘Kcen worked ut his desi for awhile, all the tims watched by his bondsman. At last Koen left bis aesk and prepared to go with Elsasser, but waated to step into the toilet room a moment. The councilman waited und 1s w.

If the stories now being told are truo some of the parties connected with the Hoffman-Keefe File com pany of Chicago may appear in a most un- favorablo light. Last Wednesday ovening Tne Bee pub lished an interview had with 11 Hoffman of the Hoffman-Keefo company, in which that gentleman openly charged that the Fenton Metalic Manufacturing company and the ONice Specialty Manufacturiog company were in collusion for the purpose of making Omaha pay an exorbitant prico for her vault and office fittings. In the same inter- view Mr. Hoffman volunteered the informa- tion that ho was too busy to come to Omaha for the purpose of telling the grand jury what he kuew about the matter, Yesterday City Clerk Groves unbosomed himself and told some tales out of school. Notonly this, but he told all of tne circum- nnected with Mr. Hoffman's pre- tended bid and its rejection; the vist of his agent to this city and how the man attemptod o engage in the leg pulling business on his Mr. Grove 1viting bid erted 1n T the American explained that advertiscments on the vault fixtures were in- Bre, the World-Herald and Architect. Such notico to bidders stated that they were to furnish their own plans and specifications: the bids wera to be opened on Angust 18, 1801, and were to bave beon aczompaniod by a 'certi- fied check for $00. On_August 10, H. J. Hoffman wrote the following letter, addross- ing it to tho committeo on public property and buildings: Will you kindly i contempate the for vour amount of i require to have fitied, On August 12 which eve you m us wiether I furniture urchase of nieta it so, what agg insqiare foet'y wpproxinately? this lett the only reachod Mr. Groves or any of the wempers of the committeo on public property and buildings, was received by Henry Osthoff, chairman of the committec, and seat to him in care of Mr. Groves. 'The same day the epistlc was turncd over to Mr. Groves, who was instructed to telograph this message to Mr, Hoffman at his ofiice in the rotunda of the Palmer house, Chicago: tor the information you desire wire Fowlor & Belndor!l, architests, Bee building. Continuing his statement, Mr. Groves said tout no person connected with the Hoffman company sought any more information upon the subject until the day before the bias were opened, when an agent appeared upon the scene and asked to be altowed to bid. He v told he mustenclose a certified check for §5 This the man did not do, buu in- stead went to the other bidders ana told them that if thov would give him 2500 he would not bid, The proposition was re- jected, after which he offered to stay out if ho w & This offer, like the former one was rejected and the man went away. Ho vorrowed §25 to pay his hotel bill and re- turned home to become an inmate of an in- sane asylun Mr. Groves states that if the Hoffman- Keefe company did not bid on the vault fix- tures it was its own fault, as there was plenty of time to have sent a man to Omaba after the house was telegraphed concerning the requirements asked of the bidders. Tho information asked could not have been sent to the Hoffmar people by telegraph, as it would have required a man to have gone through cach oftice and made specifications awd then telegraphed them to Chicazo. Mr. Groves thinks thero is altogether too much backcapping among some of the bidders for city work. They wauc to wait until the last bour tefore submitting any bids, which gives them an excuse for kick- ing. After that they want ail of the bids re- By so doing they are enabled to got prices and then come in with new bi taking advantage of the prices that other bidders have previously quoted.
