CONTRACTORS ARE BACKWARD HULL INFORMED OF POSSIBLE DE LAY BY ARCHITECT. BIDS EXCEED APPROPRIATION This is the Fear of Those in Washing ton Because of Increased Cost of Material. Washington Bureau of The Register and Leader, WASHINGTON, D. C. June 3.

It Is doubtful. Indeed, whether or not the new Des Moines postoffice Is to be built without delay. Further than this, It Is a question whether construction of public buildings all over the United States, as well as In Des Moines and other Iowa will not be seriously Interfered with this season. This la the Information Congressman Hull received from the office of the su pervising architect upon his return from West Point where he headed the board of visitors to the military academy. Increased cost of materials and difficulties in getting labor, combined with labor troubles in some sections, is the general difficulty of which the supervis ing architect's office is complaining.

bo far as Des Moines and Iowa are concerned, It appears that the chief cause of apprehension Is the Increased cost of materials. Contractors Are Backward. Contractors In many cities are iremeiy Dacgwara about bidding on public buildings, since by reason of high prices of materials, scarcity of labor and strikes In some places, they do not feel warranted In undertaking big Jobs In volving large sums of money. In some cases in the east it has been found Im possible to erect public buildings Inside of appropriations. Slow progress has bnen made in com pleting the Des Moines postofflee plans.

It was expected they would be done before now, but they are not yet finished. Captain Hull Is apprised, however, that they will be completed In a short time and that bids will be obtained early In July. Until that time It will be impossible to ascertain whether or not the build ing can be constructed Inside of the ap propriation made by congress. Fear Bids Will Be Too High. Captain Hull Is apprehensive that when the bids are opened it will be found they are too high to come inside of the appro priation.

He hopes, however, that Des Moines contractors will be more ready to undertake this work than is the case with many eastern centractors at present and that It will be possible to start con struction this summer or fall. in case it is round that the bids are too high to come within the appropria tion there will be nothing to do but wait for mere money from congress as It would in Captain Hull's opinion, not be feaslbh to cut down the size of the building or erect one on a cheaper basis than Is planned. Hull Comes Next Week. Captain Hull said tonight he would de part for Des Moines some time next week. He has not yet decided upon the day of his departure.

Mrs. Hull will ac company him. H. I. Egan of Ottumwi has been ap pointed meat inspector at a salary of tl .000..

The contract for furnishing the mate- rial and work on the two sixty foot span steel bridges for the Shoshone irrigation project In Wyoming ha been awarded to the Des Moines Bridge and Iron Works-at 11,370.

BOONE.

June Allen Barker of this city is a hero. If averting train wreck constitutes heroism. Bar ker is, however, wearing his laurels mod estly because he was the altogether un conscious shuttlecock of fate in the mat ter. This afternoon he was riding his bi cycle at top speed along the right of way of the Molngona line of the Northwestern He approached a street crossing where boards laid between the tracks afforded even footing for the pedestrian. It Is pos sible to ride a wheel between the last board and the rail If there is nothing In the grove.

This time there was. Small boys, presumably, had wedged In a large rock so tightly that later It was neces sary to pound the rock to pieces to get it out. When Barker's wheel hit the rock, he went sailing through space for some distance and lit, so it Is claimed, on the nape of his neck. After gathering him self together he looked in the grove. Then he bethought himself that the Moln- nona train was due along in a few mln utes.

Trainmen say that the rock would unquestionably have caused a. derailment had ft not been discovered. ROYAL SPANISH TRIAL IS ON Those Charged With Attempt To As sassinate King and Queen Are in Court. MADRID. June 3.

West's Daughter Bursts Into Sobt After Her Experience On the Witness Stand. Mrs. Fred West and Nurse Anna Beattle on the witness stand yesterday afternoon absolutely dented almost every detail of the Flora Goble story charging them with the murder of "Baby Jim," at Mrs. West's maternity home. The only admission that the state could gain from Mrs.

West on cross examina tion wus that "Baby Jin)" did exist and that his real name was Fred Wilson. Yesterday proved the most sensational day of the big murder trial. It was the first time that Mrs. West publicly denied tho charges brought against her and It wag tho first time that tho defense succeeded in Introducing any testimony to show that Flora Goblu was discharged from the home for attempting to teat 11 Mrs. West's 15 year old daughter, Gret-chen, a nameless practice.

Mrs. West yesterday testllied that such was the reason for Miss Goble leaving the home and she gave, in detail their conversation on the subject before the nurso left. Gretchen Breaks Down. Gretchen sat with downcast eyes and burning cheeks during her mother's ro-citai. Slio herself had undergone the ordeal of a half hour in the witness stand in the morning to save her mother.

bravely she bore up until the last question was asked her and then shu rushed sobbing to her mother's arms. Judge Brennan mercifully spared her the ordeal of baring the relations which tim defense claims existed between '-herself and Miss Goble by ruling out all questions that tended Ui lead up to the subjuct. The defense also sought to attack the story of the star wltnehs fur the prosecution yesterday by placing on the sland Mrs. F. M.

Van Meter, who said that Miss Gublo told her that she had entire charge of "Baby Jim" before his alh. Mrs. est, Gretchen West ami Mlis Beatlie testified that the child had been given over to the care of Miss Goble during his Illness. Mrs. Van Meter further testified that MiHS Goble told her that she had been offered a position In tho humane office by Mrs.

Baird, but Bhu did not testily that Miss Goble had ever said that her story concerning Baby Jim's death was untrue. Crowd Comes To Hear Mrs. West. Mrs. West did not testify at the preliminary hearing and the knowledge that she might take the stand In her own behalf brought a curious crowd to the court room yesterday.

The number of women present In the afternoon was greater than at any previous session uud when Attorney Parsons called the defendant to the stand a dead silence fell over the court room nnd although she spoka In a low tone every word could bo heard distinctly. She answered the questions of her attorney in a straightforward manner and if she was laboring under any excitement or nervousness her appearance failed to show II. Assistant County Attorney Bren nan conducted a strict cross-examination, and although he subjected her to a steady lire of questions only once or twice did she lose her self-control. She answered all questions readily and only a few times confessed to a lapse of memory. Then sha was positive in her statement that she could not recollect tho detail a-sked for.

Mrs. West Flares Up. Once when Mr. Brennan pressed her for an answer to a question as to who furnished 1'ndcrtaker Duly with the facta from which he tilled out "Baby Jim's" death certificate she replied hotly: "I suppose it was Flora Goble. She seems to be the one who knows everything." At nnother time the attorney Insisted that she give an approximate answer as to tho time that elapsed from the time Baby Jim was brought back to her home by Mrs.

Moses until his death. "I wouldn't say one word about it, because 1 don't know," she retorted. "But it must have been within two month from tho record." Her Inquisitor saw his opportunity. "What record?" he Inquired sharply. "Why, the death record." "I thought you had never seen the deatfc record." "I was told what it contained." "Was that the death certificate for Ray Samuels?" "Yes, sir." "Did you know a child named Ray Samuels?" "I did not; but I knew Fred Wilson." "Were Fred Wilson and 'Baby Jim' one and the same?" "They were." This was the first admission of that fact that the defense has made at either hearing.

Miss Beattie More Reserved. Nurse Beattie was more reserved In her statements and answered most of the questions put to her on cross-examination with the declaration "I can't remember." In reply to a question as to whether she had a good memory the witness declared that she was answering the question to the best of her ability. She testified that she could not describe Frances Wilson, the mother of Fred Wilson, and Mr. Brennan handed her a photograph and asked her if she recognized it as a likeness of the woman In question. Mr.

Parsons quickly raised an ohjec-. tion and Mr. Brennan was on his feet with: This witness screens herself with the pretense that she can't remember and I want to refresh her memury on this point." Photograph Ruled Out. "I object to the counsel making such a statement as that before the Jury," cried Mr. Parsons and the court sustained the objection to the witness identifying the photograph.

Haywood has heard the Indictment charging him with the crime and tomorrow, after the state has recited Us case and made promise of proof, the first chapter of the quickening tale of the Caldwell crime will be retold. The wearisome work of jury selection ended quickly and unexpectedly this monv ing. The talesman examined was de clared qualified amid repeated protests Irom the defense. The talesman said ne rmininn but said he would not oarrv 'aia oDlnlon Into the trial.

He said, despite these conditions, he thought that If sworn as a Juror ne couia iirijr uj rAMfi according to the law ana ci denee.

At the conclusion of the reading Haywood returned to his Tomorrow morning at :30 o'clock James Hawley for the state will anorcss u-court with the state's opening statement. He has prepared no manuscript, and said today that he would be Dnei. Plotted Assassination. Broadly speaking, the state will charge that Haywood, conspiring wim Pettibone, Simpkins and others of tin "innw circle" of the Western red emtior, nf Miners, plotted a campaign of terrorism that had for its double purpose mnvi hv assassination of thos nnnns.o.1 to the organization and the re tantlnn of Increased control and power u.ithin th nt eanlzalion.

It will allege that the explosion at th Vintiir-amr mine, the blowing up of th Independence depot, the murder of Light Uregory, a detective of Denver, me mur ir.r' of Arthur Collins of Telluride, th alleired blowing up of Fred Bradley of Kan Francisco, and the alleged attenwpt on the lives of former Governor Peabody and Gabbort and Goddard of Col orado were all acts in a single great consDiracy to which the murder of Gov ernor Steunenberg was incidental. Haywood Behind Great Plot. It will be charged that Haywood was the genius and the strength behind the great plot) and then Bteunenberg was added to the list. It will be alleged that Haywood and his associates standing and working In the background planned the long list of crimes and sent Harry Orchard and Stev Adams forth as hired executioners. The state's testimony will begin with rehearsal of the grim Caldwell tragedy In which Frank Sieunenberg was blow- to death by a bomb on the night of Dec 30, IWio, and f.en the presence at Caldwell of Harry Orchard and John 1a Simp, kins, a member of the executive board the Western Federation of Miners.

After that Harry Orchard, who actual ly murdered Steunenburg, will be con nected with the scene and crime and then Orchard will be called to the stand to retell the confession which it Is alleged he made to Detective McParland. After that will come the state's effort to corroborate the Orchard story and to clinch, by other testimony, the general part of the Western Federation of Miners, and the part of William D. Haywood alleged In connection with the murder of Frank Steunen-berg. All of the Haywood family were In court to hear the Indictment, and the big court room was crowded for the first time In many days. The completion of the Jury has quickened local Interest In the trial.

Just prior to the reading of the Indictment the name of Peter Brcen of Butte, was entered as an additional mem. ber of counsel for the defense. Breen Is the ninth lawyer now enigaged In the defense. He Is thoroughly familiar with the Cour d'Alene troubles and Is said to have been retained for advice on points which lead back to the riots and disorder in northern Idaho. HAYWOOD IS ILL AGAIN.

AFTER THE PEOPLE WILL BEGIN TWO CENT FARE TO BE TESTED ROCK ISLAND SEEKS TO ANNUL MINNESOTA RATE LAW. OTHER STATES; MAY BECALLED CARROLL WRIGHT KNOWS OF NO MOVEMENT IN IOWA. Iowa Officials Have No Information Regarding the Proposed Interstate Conference.

Iowa officials and railroad attorneys have no Information about the suits be gun in Minnesota to test the two-cent fare law of that state, except that conveyed by the newspaper dispatches. One of the Minnesota cases Is that of the Rock Island to snnul the new pas senger and freight rates. A horizontal reduction In freight rates was made In Minnesota Just prior to the time that the legislature passed the two-cent fare. At that time a prominent attorney for the railroads at Minneapolis, said, when In Des Moines on a visit, that the railroads would test the order of the commission in a law suit In the federal courts. Necessarily this would be more or less a test case for all of the western states that have enacted laws along the same line.

Wright Knows of No Movement. Carroll Wright, attorney for the Rock Island, said last night that he knew of no movement along this line In Iowa. It was stated In a St- Paul dispatch last night that a meeting of governors, attorney generals and other officials of states likely to be affected by the rate lltlgatkm now before the federal district court there may be held In St. Paul shortly, as Attorney General Young of Minnesota Is considering the advisability of sending out a general call. The suits to enjoin putting the two-cents and lower freight rates Into effect, Mr.

Young says, are nothing less than an attack on state's rights. Important enough to warrant general co-operation, especially on the part of the states which have Jut passed rate regulating laws. It means, he asserts, that If the railroads win. other Interests. Interstate In nature will Invoke the aid of the same decision.

Iowa officials have no Information concerning such a conference. Suit Against Minnesota. ST. PAUL, June 3. Another suit seeking to annul the new Minnesota two-cent passenger rate law and the commodity freight law was tiled in the federal court today against the Chicago, Rock Island Pacllic.

The defendants named, beside the state attorney general and the members of the Minnesota, railroad and warehouse commission are Daniel I Bell, E. B.

Sygert and P. J. Bowlln. shippers. The suit as In the others filed asks that the railroads be restrained from publishing and putting Into effect the new tariffs and that the state attorney general and members of the railway and warehouse commission be enjoined from forcing the roads to accept the new rates, by mandamus proceedings.

The hearing on the temporary injunction granted in the Rock Island suit will be held June II, at the same time the other rases are heard by Judge Lochren. DISGUISE.
