APPARATUS BIDS LET OUT HOME MEN

Edward O'Brien Claims Terre Haute Bid Was Best Despite Any Alterations Made.

The official figures on bids for furnishing the city with one aerial t.ruck and four combination hose and chemical wagons, as shown by the record of the board of public safety, show that a Terre Haute firm, O'Brien and O'Connell, bid $150 lower than the Robin.son company of St. Louis, Mo., to which the contract was awarded Saturday by the board, according to Edward O'Brien, of that firm.

The total bid as turned in by the local firm, he says, was $26,000 to furnish four wagons and one 75 foot oerial truck, all motor propelled, but out of this $1,250 was to be deducted for the old truck now in service at fire headQuarters. In addition to this $100 .vas to be further deducted for each machine which was not to be equipped with 3elf starters.

Deductions Made.

According to action of the board of safety Monday morning, while preparing the contract with the Robinuon people, only the truck will have a self starter. This would deduct $400 more from the original bid, making the total bid as turned in by the local firm, $24,350.

The bid of the Robinson people deducting $1,000 for the old truck was flat $25,000. This company agreed to deduct $125 for

self-3tarting

Several comments on the action or the board were heard about the streets Monday. Councilman Relde said: "It seems strange that the board of pu.blie safety could go all oi'er the country to look at other fire apparatus while they never thought of inspecting the machine at fire headquarters, built by O'Brien & O'Connell, and which has been in active service for six years and is in better shape now than it was when first purchased, the engine being worn down to good running order. You don't have to take my word, all you have to do Is to ask the men around headquarters and they will tell you that the machine is a perfect success and is good for years. The repair bill on the machine for any year is not much more than that spent for shoeing a team of tire horses."

The Ahrens-Fox company bid on the wagons alone. Their bid was for $5,300 for each machine with $150 off for each self-starter not needed.

The, .Tames Boyd company bid on the truck atone, their bid for the truck being $11,095, with $1,500 off for the old truck. The White company bid $17,824 on the four hose wagons, to which ,$200 was to be added for each self starter.

The Seagrave company turned in two bids, one for S28.300 for the truck and hose wagons, to which $200 was to' be added for each self-starting apparatus, and another bid for $23,SO'1 deducting $300 for the old truck rn j- to which $200 was to be added for each self starter.

The American La France company hid on the truck alone, the total hid King $0,000, the company deducting $1,000 for the old truck.

Cites Past Record.

According to Edward O'Brien, the Terre Haute firm according to the figures, turned in the best bid and the firm is equipped to turn out the work in as good time as the foreign companies.

He said: "We felt that we should have had the contract. We offered the board the best work possible and the best machinery. We turned out a machine which has been in active serv-

yv 1'tn

apparat-

us, which was not wanted, making $500 deducted from $25,000. This would still leave the foreign firm $150 above the O'Brien & O'Connell bid, they claim.

Figure In School Day Romance

-^1

FRANCES E. BOLEMAN.

Miss Frances E. Boleman and Mr. William G. Quiett will be married Tuesday morning at St. Patrick's church. The wedding will be the culmination of a school day romance, dat-

ico at fire headquarters for six years and there has never been a tim'? when it has balked in time of need. We offered the board 80-horsepower engines and a Studebaker chassis, which is being used all over the country for flie equipment. The engines were to bo the Wisconsin engines which^ are known throughout the United btateu for their stability. "Our firm is employing many people who are dependant upon us for their work and during the hard times which have been prevalent we have had a hard time to keep our heads above water and wo felt that we should have been given the contract especially as it was to our notion the best one turned in. I will leave it to any flieman in the country if the Seagrave truck, that which was purchased by the board, is not a third class truck. We offered the board the American La France truck, which is the best in the country, and it is a well known fact that both the American La France and Boyd trucks are superior to the Seagrave truck. "We agreed to turn out the machines in ninety days. This is the least possible time that any company can turn out such work unless it is slighted. It takes from a month to six weeks to paint the machine alone. Of course, if the apparatus is only given two coats of paint and varnished the work might be turned out hi the specified time." "Boat Bid", Says Braden.

W. A. Braden said: "We have let the contract to what we considered the best bidder. What the board wanted was the best it could get for the money expended, and we believed the Robinson people had the best for the amount of the bid."

BOWMAN PAYS HEAVILY.

Putting the "Eat" in Whole Wheat

The whole wheat grain is without doubt the most perfect food given to man. But you don't want to eat raw wheat—it would be imperfectly digested if you did eat it. Whole wheat bread made of

80-called"wholewheatflour"is

much better. It serves to stimulate peristalsis (bowel movement), but the body gets little or no nutriment from it. All the nutritive elements in the wholewheat grain are supplied in a digestible form in

Shredded Wheat

It is the shredding process that put the "Eat" in Shredded Wheat. Try one or more of these crisp, delicious little loaves of baked wheat for breakfast with milk or cream.

TERRE HAUTE TRIBUNE

Union Men Going to Dangle Rope Nooses at Tuesday Night's Council Meeting.

CHICAGO, 111.. Oct. IS. When Mayor Thompson steps into the council chambers tomorrow night organ' ized labor intends to subject him to a unique, if not a grewsome, demonstration. The union men have planned to "pack" the gallery, and each man in the front row will have a rope with a noose at the end. If the mayor fills the vacancies in the school board with appointees antagonistic to union labor, each noose will be dangled over the balcony railing.

The leaders in the plan assert the demonstration will not signify that union labor threatens personal violence against the mayor and the council, but that it intends to exert its influence to "execute" them politically. The plan was discussed at the meeting of the Chicago federation of labor yesterday.

President John Fitzpatrick urged every union man in the city to come to the city hall. "We must go there in force,"' he said. "At the last meeting our dear 'Big Bill' and his henchmen had arranged it so that the gallery halls were packed with a bunch of thirty and sixty day civil service appointees. We could have got in, possibly, had we worn 'Big Bill' hats, but a union man can't afford to do that because they are uon-union hats. Tuesday night all of you delegates tell vour unions to come to the city hall early, and when 'Big Bill' comes in it willbe necessary for the police force to tunnei him In to the council chambei. Fill the halls and corridors and galleries early.

Labor Out to Fight.

"All of those who can't get into the galleries go down to the four corners of the city hall and hold outdoor meetings. Show the council and the mayor that we are out to fight. It is the duty of every union man to protest at the high handed way we were denied admittance to the council chambers at the last meeting. Get there early BO that when the mayor's crowd tries to pack the hall they will And it already packed. "The school teachers have suggested that they get there before 4 o'clock In the afternoon. That will be all right, and everybody else should get there long before the doors open."

When questioned as to what the police might do in the event that ropes are dropped over the balcony railing, one of the union men declared they expected to be out In such numbers that the police would have difficulty in getting near enough to prevent it.

Although the ranks of union labor are in a measure, affected by the wet and dry questibri, 'the garment workers' trouble, and various 'other questions which will be brought to the attention of the council, their chief concerns is the school board fight. Besides the labor union men a dozen or more other organizations have issued calls to their members to present themselves for admittance to the council chambers.

Police preparations are being made to handle the crowds.

ting the Saloniki-NIsh railroad, which is known to have been the Bulgarian objective. It is not clear whether British troops co-operated with the French in this operation, but a message from Athens stating they had left Saloniki Saturday for the Serbo-Bul-garian frontier indicates they at least were near the scene of the fighting.

Russian and Italian help thus far has been only indirectly exerted by increased aggressiveness against the Austro-Germans, which makes a further deflection of Teutonic forces to the Balkans impracticable.

In the eastern theatre the Germans again are attacking the Russian positions southeast of Riga, but Petrograd commentators regard this to be purely a demonstration calculated to distract attention from the Dvinsk region and Galicia, which have gained greatly in Importance with the Balkan developments. It is clear that although the battle which Gen. Von Ivanoff is fighting continues with varying success, the Germans have been unable to establish themselves on the eastern bank of the river Stripa.

With a particularly intense artillery firing continuing on botn sides of the Champagne region the French war office reports slight progress. A strong barricade to the southeast of Neuville has been captured and the Givenchy wood positions have been consolidated.
