14 THE SAN FRANCISCO CALL, WEDNESDAY, MARCH 16, 1898. COLNON THiES TO CONCEAL HARBOR COMMISSION JOBS The Board’s President Sets Up a Man of Straw. Replying to Charges by Completely Ignoring Them. But Revelations of Crooked Work at the Ferry Depot Continue. GALVANIZED IRON CITED. A Case in Which the Contractor Was Permitted to Profitably Disregard Specifications. Harbor Commissioner Colnon has been heard from. He has a paper of his own, which rushes to his defense at every chance, and of late these es have been frequent. When he ants the defense to be particularly w strong, no trusty henchman wields the pen; Colnon does it himself. For several days there has been a series of exposures concerning the crooked work which has marked the construction of the ferry building. Mr. Colnon has come close to the line of fire, and naturally has felt perturbed. He replies in a column, in which he | carefully avoids saying anything bear- ing on the charges that public money has been diverted to the pockets of contractors. These charges have been | freely made, and if Mr. Colnon has on hand fac wherewith to controvert them, ¥ ibly he is saving them for Yo gn : oV LSRR HARBOR COMMISSIONER E. L.

It does not at- tempt to explain why the people of the State pay for one sort of a ferry build- ing and get another costing them the me, but costing the builders much Mr. Colnon takes up the charge that | floor of the grand nave is inferior | r specified in the contract.

B T R R R o e gave him the privilege of omitting | arched tiling and steel rods, of leaving | out fire-proofing and of using more ce- | ment, the cement being paid for by the State; that for this great gain to him there was no reduction in favor of the public. These are circumstances to which Mr. Colnon could have drawn at- tention, but they happen to be circum- stances from which he wished to draw | attention. Thus, he fashioned a straw man and amused himself by beating the straw out of his creation. He failed to answer any one of the accusations. In using up a column of space Mr. Col- non found it necessary to repeatedly express his indignation that the floor should have been attacked. He por- trays at considerable length the test to which It was subjected; all of which is like the flowers that bloom in the | spring, in having nothing to do with the case. | In the first article setting forth the | unworth of the depot as completed at- tention was paid to the floor Colnon champions so warmly. Stress was laid on the fact that the floor cost the con- tractor about $40,000 less than the floor he had agreed to put in would cost. The natural supposition was that the dif- ference in price would argue a differ- ence in actual value. Whether or not it does is a question for experts. The Call stated in the next issue that the substitute flooring had been subjected to severe tests and had stood them well; that it was being put into build- ings of importance; that many archi- tects regarded it as first class. But it did all this realizing that the quality of the floor had no place in the debate. The manner in which the floor had been acquired was the only thing to be welighed. In his effort to make himself appear justified Mr. Colnon overlooked sev- eral important phases of the situation. He has.not made clear why in the change from arched tile to expanded metaf there was no reduction in price; why in the change from oak to pine there was not only no reduction, but an actual increase; why wooden doors cost more than corrugated steel; why common bricks that are used in chim- neys, is more expensive than Roman pressed brick such as is quoted at $75 per thousand; why when six floors were eliminated from the tower there was an allowance of $119, and when one floor of the six was ordered in again, for this single floor there was given to the contractor $225; why the mezzanine story was eliminated after contracts including it had been let; why in this elimination the various contractors were not subjected to & cut for the work they were excused from doing, after they had contracted to do it; why extra pay was allowed for galvanized jron which had been clearly specified in the contract. It is upon such ques- tions as these that Colnon could throw a ray of light. And these are only part of the questions which are likely to reach his ears. Yet he calmly ignores them, and sticks his head, ostrich-like, in the sand of his beloved nave floor, and seems to think he is safe. To term The Call a ridiculous paper may be extremely able, but Mr. Colnon will perhaps pardon the belief that it falls short of being satisfactory. It is not with the purpose of worrying Col- non that the charges have been made. PR R R R R R R R R s ARCHITECT SWAIN ACCEPTS RESPONSI- BILITY. ““Every change that has been made in the original lowances made 10 contractors have been made upon my ding has been under my su- ithrough it the State, has been victimized b, ust be either a fool or a knave.””—From an inter- Indeed, there is an absence of concern s to whether he is worried or not. It is fully understood that he has troubles already, that the water front has had a queer look ever since a part of its hat is wanted is the truth, and there is no profit in watching Colnon beat the chaff from a man of straw. The ture of a man’s trade is no bar to his gibility to participate in the | | good things that are being handed out | | by the men who are in control of af- | connection with the building | | | fairs in of the ferry depot. stone men, metal-workers, painters and the ragtag and bobtail of the small fry among the contractors are reaping the profit that comes to all who are willing to participate in the wholesale rob- bery that is being practiced at the ex- pense of the State.

En other words, farbor Commissioners, or comtractors, R R R e e R an o SR SR SR SR IS o D R R R R R Investigation discloses the fact that one of the richest plums thathave fallen has been divided up between the con- | tractor for the galvanized metal work and those who made it possible for him to go behind the terms of his written contract. The full extent of the State's loss on this item of construction has not yet been fully determined, but so far as the investigation has progressed it appears that at least $6000 and per- haps more has been passed from the State’s coffers to the pockets of inter- | ested parties without any due return. The hocus-pocus by which the officials have been enabled to enrich themselves to this amount is much the same as has been practiced in other contracts here- tofore exploited. Contractors were in- | vited to bid for the putting in of the galvanized metal work, and the con- tract was awarded to the lowest bid- der, as required by law. After the con- | tract had been let changes were made in the specifications in order to allow the contractor to substitute inferior materials for those called for in the original specifications. Other evasions and substitutions were made, as will appear. The contract for the galvanized iron work was let to Willlam Cronin of 1213 Market street. Among other things called for by the contract was the cov- ering of the inner and outer walls of the long gallery and the inner walls of the waiting room on the.second floor with No. 22 galvanized iron, as will be seen by the following paragraph from the original printed specifications: The entire walls of the gallery in the rear of the second story, as well as the ends and walls of the waiting room throughout, are to be finished in galvan- ized iron. In the treatment of the wait- ing rooms, both inside and out, galvan- ized iron is to be used in courses with flush joints, formed by bringing the true edges of metal close together, and_secur- ing the same with fishplates of No. 18 galvanized Iron, six inches wide, riveted with galvanized iron flushed rivets, not further apart than three inches, centers, staggered in two rows on each side of joint and well soaked with solder; fish- plates secured with galvanized clips to the rough construction of the outside walls, which is composed of small channels and T irons, as indicated on_ the framin plans, or joints, may be V joint lockes and soldered, at the discretion of the architect. All this work to be of No. 22 galvanized iron, as will also be the out- side and inside of the corridor and bridges in the second story. Two years elapsed between the let- ting of the contract and the beginning of work. - In the interim the Board of Harbor Commissioners granted to Cro- nin a modification of the contract, per- mitting him to use No. 26 instead of No. 22 galvanized iron for the work. No. 22 iron costs $105 45 per 100 sheets and No. 26 costs $70 12 per 100 sheets. As it re- quired about 6400 sheets to complete the contract this modification meant a sav- ing to the contractor of about $2260. ‘What part, if any, of this amount was used by the contractor to bring about this very remunerative wiodification does not appear of record? After the work had progressed suffi- ciently to permit of the establishment of amicable relations between the con- tractor and the Board of Harbor Com- missfoners Cronin professed to discover that he was not compelled by the terms of his contract to cover the west walls of destiny fell into his guiding hand. Alli | e gallery and walting-room with | | galvanized iron. What merit there was in this contention may be seen by glan- | cing at the paragraph of the specifica- | tions quoted above. Nevertheless, the | Board of Harbor Commissioners and Architect Swain were appealed to and after some delay the latter professed to find on the plans some “crow’s feet” that to his professional eye seemed to | indicate that it had not been the inten- { tion of the architect to cover the dis- puted walls with galvanized iron. This being determined, it only re- mained for the Harbor Commissioners to act. This they did by authorizing the contractor to go ahead and cover the disputed walls with galvanizediron, for which work they agreed to pay him, and did pay him, not quite $3000. It was necessary to pay him a few dollars less than $3000, because the law requires that no contract can be let for a sum greater than $3000 without ad- vertising for bids. To advertise for bids for work that had already been advertised and contracted and paid for would have given the snap away. The investigation into the galvanized iron contract has not progressed any further than this except that it |is known that tiie contractor failed to cover the bottoms of the long gallery and the galleries leading from the sec- ond story to the ferry slips with gal- vanized iron, as called for by the con- tract. This involves a matter of a thousand or more dollars. That the Board of Harbor Commis- sioners and Architect Swain have full power to compel a contractor to fulfill the terms of his contract is shown by the following paragraphs from the specifications under which the contract for the galvanized iron work was let: Should the contractor at any time dur- ing the progress of said work refuse or neglect to supply a sufficlency of mate- rials or workmen the said Harbor Com- loners shall have the power to pro- e materials and workmen, after three d ' notice in writing being given to finish_said work, and the expense so in- curred shall be deducted from the amount of the contract. o b et e e If the contractor shall vary frorh the specifications or drawings in the form or quality of his work or in the amount or value of the material therein used the architect shall be at liberty at any time + side walls. allowed to use No. 26 iron. P L R R before or after the completion of the work to order such improper work to be removed, remade and replaced, and all work disturbed by the alterations made good at the contractor's expense, or to receive from the contractor for the board a sum of money equivalent to the difference in the value of the work per- formed and that mentioned in the speci- | fications or shown in the drawings, it be- ing optional with the board to pursue either course. Architect Swain is not pleased with the turn affairs have taken. He says that the result is likely to be that the impression will . go abroad that he is a designing party to the thievery charged in connection with the con- struction of the ferry building. “As the architect of the board,” he said, “it Is my duty to see that the contractors do their work according to the plans and specifications under which their contracts were secured. It is also my duty to attend to all details in connection with any changes in the plans or specifications that may be contemplated or agreed upon. In do- ing this I have endeavored to use my best judgment and to have in view the best interests of the State. “Every change that has been made in the original plans and specifications for the ferry depot building has been at my suggestion or has received my approval. Allowances made to con- tractors have been made upon my esti- mates or have received my approval. In other words, all of the work upon the building has been under my super- vision. If the Board of Harbor Com- missioners, or through it the State, has been victimized by contractors, then I must be either a fool or a knave.” ———— To Cure a Cold in One Day HIS THIRD WIFE WANTS READY MONEY Captain White .of Round Valley in the Toils Again. Marriage Bureau Love Letters That Fill a Trunk. Officers Appalled at the Num- ber of Women Who Answered the Ad. TO BE EXAMINED IN COURT The Cattle King Will Be Compelled to Give an Account of His Resources. The third divorced wife of George ‘White, the well-known Round Valley cattle king, has been leading him a merry chase in Judge Hebbard's court for the past three weeks, though the proceedings had been conducted s0 | quietly that they were not made public | until yesterday. She is after money, | but the nearest approach yet made to the goal is a bunch of love letters. All the trouble arises from the fact that when the third wife got her di- vorce she was allowed a judgment for | $105,000 as her part of the property, though she has had what the sporting | class would call a terrible “run for the | money,” and the money seems as far away from her as ever. Information came to Attorney Lin- | forth last month to the effect that there were bonds worth $50,000 in the vaults | of the Safe Deposit Company. These | bonds were supposed to be the property of the cattle king. Acting on this in- formation the box of J. J. Whitney was | levied upon, but there was no bond of any character therein. A few hours | later the information came that the | bonds were in Mr. Whitney’s name in the box at the Pacific Coast Savings Union. The Sheriff was dispatched to | the place, but it was too late, for Whit- ney had been there and taken away whatever property he had. To come to a proper understanding of the case it should be said that Mrs. J. J. Whitney is the spiritual medium by whom Captain White swears. He thinks she has shown him the fountain of eter- nal youth and brought him to a happy | marriage with the fourth wife. It is her spiritual advice that causes him to rejoice each day that he is still on earth. ‘When the Sheriff began the business of levying on the alleged property of the millionaire who is an adept at hid- ing his effects they got some strange idea that a certain trunk in the posses- sion of Mrs. Whitney ' contained the coveted bonds. They seized the trunk, Deputy Sheriff Fitzgerald feeling sure that he had a handful of Government bonds. When he took off several layers of tissue paper and perfumed tapa cloth | from the promising bundle he found it was a bunch of loving epistles from | girls and widows who had answered the cattle king’s advertisement for a wife, inserted some months ago in ‘Wedding Bells. “There were enough letters from women to fill this room,” said Mrs. Whitney yesterday, “and the Deputy Sheriffs consumed fully an hour paw- ing over them and hunting for the al- leged property.” There has been no more substantial approach than this discovery to the coveted goal of “ready money,” and the officers have taken another course. They have decided to ask Captain ‘White a number of questions on an order of examination as to his wealth. He will have to appear before Judge O R R R R R R R R S S e T L T e ey A NEAT RAKE-OFF IN THE IRON < CONTRACT. : The original specifications for the galvanized irom work on the ferry building called for No. 22 iron for the ‘The man who secured the comtract was One hundred sheets of No. 22 iron weighs 2812 pounds and costs 8165 45.

Attorney Linforth thinks White is the most artful dodger in the State, as he has been pursuing him in vain ever since the judgment was rendered in fa- vor of the third wife in 1895. The play now being made by the cat- tle king Is that all his property is owned by his nephew, J. S. Rohr- baugh, who is up in the cattle country, but the attorneys have decided to ex- haust every possible means to boil the case down to such a point as to corner some of the money that is known to be the property of Captain White himself.

Attacked Shortly After Leaving the Oakland Ferry-Boat. After Being Followed for a Short Distance He Was Assaulted. ASSAILANTS IDENTIFIED. They Are Sald to Have Held Up Another Citizen. Recently Herman Bunker, living at 169 Minna street, had an exciting experience with footpads Monday night. Accompanied by two friends he crossed the bay, in- tending to pay a social visit. He re- turned on the 9 o’clock boat, and as he walked up Market street he was at- tacked by two men, one of whomstruck him with his clenched fist, felling him to the ground. While lying prostrate one of his assailants proceeded to search his clothing for valuables. As he had a gold watch and chain and considerable money in his possession, Bunker, realizing he was in the hands of desperate men, lustily shouted for help. A Dpolice officer heard his screams, and, as he went to his rescue, the robbers, evidently becoming frightened, hurriedly left the scene. One of them in his haste to get away dropped his hat, which was subse- quently found by the police. Last night Bunker visited police headquar- ters and told the story of the attempted robbery. He describes one of the men as being about 45 years of age, 5 feet 6 inches in height and had a dark mustache. He wore a gray suit of clothes and a dark slouch hat, which was pulled down over his eyes. The companion, he says, was about 20 years of age, b feet 3 inches in height. He wore a cheap gray suit and a black slouch hat. Bunker is positive that he can identify his assailants in case they are arrested. A short time ago a citizen, whose name the police refused to divulge, was held up in the same vicinity and robbed of a gold watch and chain and consid- erable money. His description of the robbers tallied exactly with that given of the men who assaulted Bunker. “I had_disembarked from the boat,” remarked Bunker when telling his story, “and concluding that a little ex- ercise would not do me any harm, I started to walk up Market street to my home. It was about 9 o'clock, and when I reached Davis street I no- ticed two men, whose faces were partly concealed by the hats they wore, stand- ing In a doorway. Thinking that they were waiting for somebody, I passed on. “When a few feet from them they emerged from the doorway and started to follow me. After overtaking me, one of them struck me a terrific blow in the jaw. I fell on the sidewalk, and the robbers, evidently concluding that the blow had rendered me hors de com- bat, proceeded to search me. Just then I lustily screamed for help, which had the effect of frightening them away.” THE BLACK WAS NOT GAME. Harry Woods Was Too Much for the Colored Fighter, Ben Lewis. The Excelsior Athletic Club of Eighth and Folsom streets gave a very interest- ing athletic entertainment last evening which was witnessed by a tolerably large gathering. Frank Smith gave a very clever exhibi- tion of slack wire walking and the con- tortionist, Louis Solomon, also did well. Comic songs by R. Hanson and a cracker- eating_match_between six young lads amused the spectators while the boxers were making ready for fistic engagements which were as follows: Four-round bouts between Billy Lawlor and_Billy Hogan, Tom Devine and P. Lynch, D. Hughes and L. Otts, G. Kelly and J. Duffy, Joe Ken- nedy and J. Stelzner. The event of the evening was to have | been an_ eight-round contest between | Harry Woods and Ben Lewis (colored), but the last-named boxer grew tired of | the game in the, second round when he | was countered heavily on the jaw, and | after going down twice he remained on all-fours in his corner until counted out In the first round Woods hit Lewis in the groin, but a claim of foul was not al- lowed and Lewis then lost courage and afterward put Up a Very poor argument.

An interesting little story accompanies the taking of the ani- mal and Its load from its owner and its subsequent transfer to the city’s animal prison. Daubs is a painter by trade, but some time ago he was thrown out of employ- ment. As he could get nothing to do he purchased a horse and wagon with bor- rowed money and set to work. On the afternoon of the 7th inst., while passing the Union Iron Works, he applied for a position as a painter. He was put to work with a gang painting the bottom of a ship, and knowing that he would be working only a few hours he hitched his horse beside the road. In the afternoon when his work was over he went to get his horse and wagon, and saw to his dis- may a policeman on the seat leisurely driving toward the Twentieth-street po- lice station. “T followed the wagon to the station,” said Daub last_evening, “and demanded my property. My request was refused, and a short time later the rig was taken to Dr. Westphal's stables orpn!ile the City Hall.
