COLLUSION IfJ BIDS HINTED BY MAYOR Lane Believes Barber Com pany and P. R., L. & P. Co. Work Together. PROPERTY-OWNERS GOUGED Pay on Hawthorne-ATenoe Job Streetcar Company Is Saved Money on Stone Blocks and As phalt Paving Costs More. The entrann of competing firm into the field recently occupied by the Barber Apphalt Company has resulted In scaling the estimate of the City Ungrineer ap proximately Slfl.Ono on a bid of J171.898 for riving Hawthorne avenue from East Third to East Korry-flrst streets, a dis tance of nearly two miles. That this is being done at the expense of the property-owners for the benefit of the Portland Railway, Ught & Power Company is the opinion of Mayor Uane who last night said he had reason to be lieve there was collusion between the streetcar company and the paving com pany. Mayor Ijine stated the bid had not been given, to the Barber concern on lis lowest bid and he intended to see if there were not some way the city could rradvertise for bids. The Mavor said he 1'nd already blocked the letting of a bid on Twenty-first street on a similar sus picion and until the matter could be in vestigated the letting of the contract would be held tip. That some way must be devised to in sist that the lowest total bidder must also be the lowest bidder on asphalt was the expressed view of the Mayor and he raid he proposed acting aloDg this line until he could be satisfied there was no possibility of collusion between the streetcar company and the Barber Asphalt Company. Having for Streetcar Company. The acceptance of the Barber Com pany's hid. as at present outlined, would mean that the owner of each 100-foot lot would he paying $17.70 more than would liave been the case had the lower asphalt bids been considered, while the Port land Railway. Light & Power Company would he saving JiiO in laying stone blocks between the car tracks fronting each lot. J. W. Baylor, of the Western Asphalt Company, charged the two concerns with directly playing into each other's hands nd said the bid of the Barber Company for stone blocks was several cents per yard tinder cost anil the streetcar com pany would never insist on the paving concern laying the blocks on their con tract price, while if any other concern bad named a price as low, the company would have insisted on the work being done at the contract price. With the price quoted by the Barber concern, said Mr. Baylor, the streetcar company would merely inslsj on doing the work itself, as It has done on other occasions, and thus couge indirectly the property -owners themselves. The bid of the Barber Company agrees to supply asphalt at J2.15 a yard, or 10 cents higher than the bid of the Western Asphalt Company, and 6 cents higher than the bid of the Cascade Contract Company. The Cascade Contract Com pany Is a manufacturer of stone blocks and offers to supply them at a cost of 12.50 a yard, while, the Barber concern, which is not a manufacturer of the Mocks, and which has to purchase them In the open market. Is lt cents lower. This, It is stated. Is well below the cost t production. Barber Contract Costs More. By accepting the bid of the Barber Asphalt Company, the Kxecutlve Board would he compelling the Hawthorne ave nue property-owners to pay J3.67S.SO more for asphalt than by accepting the bid of the Western Asphalt Company. By ac cepting the bid of the Cascade Contract Company, the property-owners would be raved 1.S3S, while the streetcar com pany would be getting Us blocks at a price but little over that of the Barber concern. On Its bid for concrete blocks, the Western Asphalt Company is Sl cents yard higher than the bid supplied by the Harber Company. Mayor I,ane stated the Executive Hoard was determined that equity and fairness should be established in the mat ter of paving and that It will do any thing posslhle within the charter to in rure this. The tabulated comparative costs of asphalt and stone bloc ks, as given by the different concerns, follow: Stone Asphalt. Blocks.

It was stated yesterday by Mr. Bavlor that the Barber Asphalt Company and the Independent Asphalt Company, of Seattle, were working together, and that the Barber Company was not prepared to make more than one bid if the field were left free from competition. He said the Independent Company's hid for asphalt was. the same as that given bv the Barber concern, but that its estimate for stone blocks was $3, or the same as that supplied by the Western Asphalt Company and Glehisch Joplin. A rep resentative of the Barber concern waited st the City Hall, said Mr. Barlow, with the Barber bid, in his pocket, and when he was assured that competitive bids had een given, presented the Barber bid. which, providing for a lower price on stone blocks, lowered its total price al most below the price of the Western Company, and but $50o below the bid furnished by the Cascade Contract Com pany. When the bids were read at a special session of the Kxecutlve Board yesterday morning Thomas O. Oroene moved that the contract be awarded to the lowest bidder. This Is the largest single piece of hard-surface pavement ever ordered In Portland. The coup turned by Mr. Jluber cost his company some money, owing to the cut in price, but it success fully shut out the rival concerns, at least temporarily. Amount of Bids Submitted. The bids submitted were: Barber As phalt Paving Company, jm.SSN: Cascade avlng Company. $172.41!; Western As . phalt Company, of Spokane. tlSO.SU; In dependent Paving Company, of Seattle flMi.470. After the bids were read by Clerk Grutze. P. K. Sullivan, a member of the plreet committee, said he did not regard them as indicative of very hot competi tion. The estimate of City Kngineer Taylor on the Hawthorne avenue Job was $190,000. The only formidable rival of the asphalt company to date is the Warren Construction Company, layers of the blt tiltthie pavement, and there have been persistent rumors for months that these two rivals were more or less frlendlv and that they had some tentative agree ment whereby the city was divided into sections and each, company would work In a given field. More recently, the Oregon Kassam Paving Company was organized by local contractors, and has been fighting for a share of the hard-surface business. It has succeeded remarkably well for a new concern, although the larger portion of its contracts thus far have been in the residence sections. A contract for paving Grand avenue, from East Clay to Belmont streets, was awarded to it yes terday morning for the sum of $29,000. This Is the first piece of the Hassam pavement that has been ordered laid in the business district, where it will re ceive a severe test by heavy traffic The Executive Board yesterday morn ing adopted the report of the street com mittee, levying a fine of $3600 against the Pacific Bridge Company for 180 days' de linquency In completing the fill on East Morrison, from East Seventh to East Ninth streets. Manager George Simons, speaking for the company, states he re gards the action of the board unfair and that he will appeal to the City Council for remittance of the fine. CALHOUN TRIAL SOON ON TWELVE JfRORS SELECTED ASD THIRTEENTH READY. San. Francisco Graft Case Will Prob ably Begin This Week, Accord ing to Indications. 8AN FRANCISCO. April 12.-Thirteen Jurors have been temporarily passed to try the case of Patrick Calhoun, presi dent of the United Railroads, who is charged with attempting to bribe an ex Supervisor of this city. Otto H. Mack roth, a retired grocer, was today inter rogated at length by attorneys for either side, but his opinion and beliefs failed to arouse any opposition and he was passed. A few moments later the attorneys for the defendant exhausted all avenues of Inquiry directed against Richard Lutge, manager of an Iron foundry; whose ex amination was commenced last Vriday. Stanley Moore, of' the defense, who had already interposed a challenge for cause In the case of Mr: Lutge, requested the court to review the statements of the Juror, in the expectation that the chal lenge would be sumbitted tomorrow. Judge Lawlor's ruling in the order for interrogation of talesmen in the S4th special venire indicated that the Jury is to consist of 13 members and that the next exercise of peremptory challenge, which probably will occur tomorrow, will be the last change in Jury member ship before the taking of testimony. Assistant District Attorney Francis J. Heney attended today's session of court for a brief period, and it was generally remarked that his presence Indicated an expectation of beginning the actual trial within the week. Newbsrgh Contradicts Blake. SAN FRANCISCO, April 12. Adolph S. Newburgh, the attorney charged with complicity In the attempted brib ery of a Juror In the case of Abraham Ruef, denied on the stand today the statements and negotiations attributed to him by E. A.

The striking buttonmakers. whose demands for a con tinuance of the price wage scale have been followed by disorders, have brought about a veritable reign of terror In the neighboring towns of Crepin and Lor maison. Two thousand soldiers, under command of General Nicholas, consisting of dragoons, hussars, cuirassiers, and 600 gendarmes, under the leadership of the Prefect of Ouse, are today patroling the streets of the towns and the sur rounding country.

Mrs. Cecilia Rubens, of St. Louis, two miles west of this place, died Friday, April , and will be burled Monday from the St. Louis Catholic Church. Mrs. Rubens was born In Belgium November 2i, 1824. She was married In 1854 in Belgium to Henry Rubens, who still survives her. The follow ing year, 1855, they located in Wisconsin, where they made their home until 1884, when they moved to St. Louis, Or.

DeJordln, all of Gervals, Or.; Mrs. John Maze, of Portland, and Mrs Frohn, of Chicago, 111. resentatives of the Simon camp were not without representation. They reminded the doctor of the questionable advisability of "butting in" on the candidacy of the man that had been indorsed by a Repub lican assembly before which Smith and his friends would not permit his name to be presented for consideration. Pending a decision from Dr. Smith, no developments are promised In the poli tical situation so far as municipal affairs and candidates are concerned. The anti assembly people, having picked Dr. Smith as a winner against Simon, are no more Interested In the decision of the doctor than are the men who took part In the assembly and who declare they had ad vance assurances from Smith that he would not stand In the way of Simon's indorsement, nomination and election. While the anti-assembly people want Smith as their candidate, convinced that he is the man who can measure up to their expectations, they insist that they will not "lie down" even should Smith spurn their support. Just who the sub stitute candidate will be is a matter of conjecture entirely. The opposition to Simon frankly admits that it is up against a hard proposition. In the first place there is evidence that it is a force divided against itself. It has developed that some of the anti-assembly Republicans are tied up with Rushlight or Kellaher snd are not In a position to join in the support of any other candidate. This same element in a way is reported to be supporting both Rushlight and Kellaher. The programme, so It is rumored, is that this following is to support Rushlight in the primaries. Should Rushlight win the nomination the report goes that Kellaher will withdraw as an independent candidate in the elec tion and throw his support to Rushlight. On the other hand should the Councilman fail to land the nomination in the pri maries he and his friends by the terms of the alleged compact are to unite in supporting Kellaher as an Independent candidate. It is this situation more than anything else which is calculated to frustrate the plans of the anti-assembly camp. Pri marily its members desire to defeat Simon in the primary election, but they realize that In order to do so they must effect some sort of a coalition of their forces They are satisfied that success In thetr movement can be accomplished only by concentrating their forces and at the same time bring about the retirement of such candidates as stand in the way of that result. They are firmly resolved to bring out some candidate and run him against Simon regardless of what position Rushlight and Kellaher may assume. The further course of the anti-assemblv peo ple, however, will not be outlined until a final answer has been received from Dr Smith.

April 12.-The funeral of Lieutenant Joseph Petrosino, who was as sassinated while engaged in special serv ice in Palermo, Sicily, was made the oc casion today of a remarkable tribute to the dead detective. The Police Department, many Italian societies and prominent Italian citizens united in expressing the gratitude of New York City for Petrosino's self sacrifice In his work and sorrow because of the untimely ending of his career. Although the hour set for the funeral services in the old St. Patricks Cathedral In Mott street was 11 A.

The heavy police guard oh duty about the house would permit no congregation ln its Immediate vicinity, but admirers and compatriots of Petro sino founif time to pause and with'bowed heads utter a silent prayer before pass ing on to work. Twentyfive policemen were stationed in front-of the Petrosino home and 50 de tectives were on duty in the yards and on the roofs of that and adjoining build ings. Four hundred and fifty policemen. Including many dressed in plain clothes were assigned to guard the funeral pro cession on its way to the Cathedral and on to Calvary Cemetery on Long Island.

A wise Indiana physician cured a 20 years stomach disease without any medicine as his patient tells: "I had stomach trouble for 20 years tried family medicines, patent medi cines and all the simple remedies sug gested by my friends, but grew worse all the time. "Finally a doctor who is the most prominent physician ln this part of the state told me medicine would do me no good, only irritate my stomach and make It worse that I . must look to diet and quit drinking coffee. "'I cried out in alarm. 'Quit drinking Coffee!- why. "What will I drink?' "Try Postum.' said the doctor 1 drink it and you will like It when it Is made according to directions, with cream, for It is delicious and has none of the bad effects cbffee has.' "Well that was two years ago. and I am still drinking Postum. My stom ach Is right again and I know Doctor hit the nail on the head when he de cided coffee was the cause of all my trouble. 1 only wish I had quit It years ago and drank Postum in Its place."
