ADVISES NO COMPROMISE. Finance Commission to Mayor Hibbard in Regard to Maryland Coal and Coke Co. Mayor Hibbard has been advised by the finance commission to make no compromise with the Maryland coal and coke company.

but to order that concern to remove from the city bins the "SAO tons of coal supplied to the pauper institutions on Long island. The commission informed the mayor that the coal delivered was not the kind specified in the contract. and therefore the payment of any sum in settlement will only encourage deception on the part of contractors. The contract called for "Big Vein Georges Creek Cumberland" and the commission finds upon investigation that the coal delivered did not come from Maryland. but from Pennsylvania.

IMEMEM There, were four for 'Dig Vein Georges Creek Cumberland, at 14.57 per ton of 2240 pounds. commission. Ile did so and stated that the company owned no mines in Maryland or elsewher e. admitted that the coal was not Georges Creek. but stated that It came from the above-mentioned district in Pennsylvania.

Ile claimed that It was equal in quality to the coal contracted for. but this claim is refuted Ly the experts analysis. Substitution a Common Practice. ihe company makes the further claim that it is a well known and common practice among coal dealers to ship coal of the rame standard as coal of another name that comes from a different section. Such a practice.

If It exists. would not justify the transaction In question. In this case the coal shipped was not of the standard contracted for, but was of a distinctly inferior grade. Even if the practice of substitution existed it should not be tolerated. beCause it would require the city in each case to engage experts ani possibiy have recourse to litigation to determine the relative value of the coal contracted for and the coal delivered.

Such a substitution suggests fraudulent motives and in every case examined by the commission the substitute coal has been inferior. Where a contractor agrees to deliver a particular kind of coal. the substitution of any other kind. without the consent of the city. is a breach of contract.

Advised to Refuse Payment. The trustees have informed the corn-Mission that the company is willing to make a discount by way of compromise on part of the shipment "The commission believer; that no compromise of any kind should be made In thin case. There never was any intention on the part of the Maryland Coal and coke company to deliver the kind of coal contracted for: the Intention from the beginning was to deliver a different kind of coal. and the dealer In obtaining the contract with this undisclosed intent took an unfair advantage. not only of the city; but of the other bidders in the competition.

"The transaction should be so treated that there can be no temptation for anybody to repeat it so far as Boston is concerno.4. The company should be requested to take the coal from the city's bins. and payment for the same at any price should be refused. That anyone should have the effrontery to attempt such a transaction at the very time of the exposure of similar practices seems incredinlo. Evidently publicity elope is Hot a -emedy: and a compromise under the circumstances is a mere challenge to a repetition of the offence.

Respectfully submitted. "The Finanee Commission, By Nathan Matthews, "Chairman." Answer of Company's Agent. In answer to the report by the finance commission respecting the coal recently sold to the pauper institutions on Long Island. Samuel B. Glazier, New England agent for the Maryland coal and coke company.

said this morning that the investigation by the finance commission did 'hot do full pustice to the company. In the first place." said Mr-Glazier. "the commission's chemist took no accourt of the moisture in the coal. The coal wax very wet. a condition for which the cornpany was not responsible.

and in the tetS the quantity of moisture prevented the coal reaching the standard required by the chemist. The tests should have been made on a dry basis. which Is the only fair basis. If the tests of dry coal had been made the commistilon's chemist would have found It up to the Georges creek standard of II. T.

U. or heating value. "The Maryland coat and coke company proposed to the finance commission that there be another test and that their own expert be present and take samples at the time the chemist for the commission did. but this soggestion up to the present time has not been accepted. "It was the intention of the company to deliver Georges Creek coal, and that the company did not do so was due to the condition of the market relative to the supply and to the demand ot the city for immediate delivery.

At Ills time the delivery was required coal was very scarce and the Maryland company had a number of contracts It was "It was not possible to get Georges Creek coal in time so the company supplied South Fork whiee is rated bish la quality as Georges Creek. The company gave the city a coal which as jest as good as Georges and if fairly tested. it would have measured up to that standard of quali- to the weights. the coal wee vcighed for the pauper trustees by a man who was only a watehnian. and ho was not a compeP-nt weigher.

The company protested at the time that he was not doing us justice.

Feb 24A case that will be of great interest to not only the residents of Norwood but manufacturers of cider anywhere. Is that of Levi Greenwood Of Norwood.

who was arraigned in the dietrict court this morning before Judge Emery Grover on the charges of illegal sale of intoxicating liquor and with keeping a nuisance. Grecnvrood pleaded not guilty. Ilis case was continued to Thursuay. Mares 6. and WaS released under bonds of PloO.

$300 on each count. An interesting incident of the case la the unusually large amount of st.itt taken at the raid yesterday. 22G5 gallons of cider. valued at Greenwood is a eider manufaeturer, with a mill at 041 Nathan at. Norwood.

employing from 10 to 20 men. Ills oierations are not confined to pressing apples from Ids own orchard or the orchards of the farmers Iof Norwood and the surrounding towns. but extends even outside the Vett, many of his apples coming from New liampshire. More or less complaint has been made that Greenwood has not confined himself strictiy to the license of a manufacturer and a wholesale dealer, but that he has been selling cider at retail and that nuisance has resulted from it. Ile has been before the court before on a similar charge by a previous chief of police.

The government lost at that time. The new chief of police, Fred Sackett. has now taken a hand. resulting in the largest seizure in the history of the county. The case will binge on the definition of retail and the result Will be anxiously awaited.

Miss Annette Reigner of Dorchester 1 Discovers Intruder Early Saturday MorningScreams Put Him to Flight. The breaks that have been PO frequent in Dorchester for the past month still continue.

As the girl came out of her room on the second story she came upon a strange an on the stairs.

She uttered scream after scream, and these aroused her father and mother In an adjoining room, and as these two started out of the room. the man on the stairs beat a hasty retreat to the lower floor and out of the house. The burglar had, it was found later, entered the house through a cellar window, and from there had gained access to the front hallway and stairs. Nothing was missed at the house. The man who is supposed to have lirolten in was seen early Friday evening hanging about the house.

and one of the neighbors, it is said, telephoned to the police, hut they say no attention was paid to this warning. IN QUINCY COURT.

Murray Crane or Hitchcock Ex-Gov Douglas Mentioned on Democratic Side, Senator Pettigrew and Mayor Johnson Also.

WASHINGTON. Feb 24For chairman of the republican national committeeFrnJ H. Hitchcock or Senator W. Murray Crane of Massachusetts. For chairman of the democratic national committeeSenator Pettigrew of South Dakota.

Ex-Gov W. L. Douglas of Massachusetts or Mayor Tom L. Johnson of Cleveland, O. This seems to be the managerial slate up to date for the campaign of this year.

Mr Ilitchcock's selection as chairman of tile republican committee of course depends on the success of the Taft campaign for nomination. The anti-Taft forces would urge the place on Senator Crane if somebody aside from Taft were to be nominated. unless that somebody should be La Follette or a dark horse outside the combination of strictly anti-Taft forces. On the democratic side the preference seems decidedly to favor Senator Pettigrew, who is known as a resourceful politician. It is understood on excellent authority that he would rather like the position.

and it is further intimated that if selected for it he would devote a good deal of attention to South Dakota with a view to the possibility of his own return to the senate. Whoever is chairman of the democratic committee, there is belief that Willis J. Abbott will be secretary because of his relations to Mr Bryan and the fact that he has been intimately concerned with the literary bureaus of both the previous Bryan campaigns. 18 MONTHS IN PRISON. 1111., Sentence Imposed on William P.
