BID $30,978 LESS THAN PREVIOUS LOWEST OFFER Announcement of ' $115,000 Saving Held Due to'Error in Comparison. The lowest bid on cement for the construction of the National Road, now under consideration by the State highway commission is only $30.975.6S lower than the lowest bid received when bids were first called for and later rejected, an official tabulation of the new bids showed today. It had been announced previously that the saving amounted to approximately $115,000. It was explained that the announcement that the saving amounted to $115,000 resulted from an error in comparison. The new bids were tabulated without the cost of the sacks and compared with the old bids which included the cost of the sacks. The companies allow 10 cents tor each sack returned, but it was explained that always some sacks are lost and th saving through the return of sacks can not be determined in advance. The lowest bid, the tabulation shows, was that*of the Louisville Cement Company. This was for $41*5).243.:vi for 211,544 barrels of cement delivered to six points along the National road. The original low bid was for $330,222.52. In each case these include the price of sacks, and, therefore, are a fair basis of comparison. The delivered price for each barrel under the last bids ranged from $2.30, that of the Louisville Cement Company, to $2 55, charged by the Universal Portland Cement Company. The “Universal Company’s Lids were identical with those it originally submitted. Contracts for the cement will be let by the highway commission next Tuesday. Contracts for the construction of sixtysix miles of the National road, in which the cement is to be used, will be let at the same time. Lawrence Lyons, director of the highway commission, said there Is no question that the commission will let cement contracts at this time.

SIPE RELATES INSIDE STORY OF FUNDS USE (Continued From Page One.) 3 per cent interest on the $140,000 trust fund which would mean an additional $4,500, making Si pcs possible profit from the office about $1*5,000 a year, if be had j administered his office economically." In three years time he had spent $93,- ! 000, which represents his salary, as he ! asserts he has no private bank account. Approximately he received $13,500 in interest and $12,000 in fees during the three years, making a total o' $118,500 received in the performance of his duties. He admits his losses are approximately $140,000 which represents the total of the trust fund. As his personal account and the trnst ! fund both are wiped out, the total ! amount spent legally and iiiegallv.ini three ypars time is about $208,500, It is estimated on the above basis. MOSEY SI EXT - X EXCEEDS $200,000. Allowing Mr. Sipe a salvage of $50,000 on the stocks ami other securities turned over In an effort to cover his shortage, ; the total expenditures legally and illegally, it is estimated by county officials will reach about $208,500. Friends of Mr. Sipe declare hja personal expenditures were small as his home is far from being pretentious. About the only luxury he enjoyed was an automobile. Mr. Coffin has recovered $20,000 of ■tock which Sipe ha'd Invested in and ; is holding it pending the outcome of the county’s controversy with the Hartford Accident tnd Indemnity Company over which shall have possession of the former clerk's The indemnity company was surely on Pipe's bond tor SIOO,OOO and when the crash came he jnade an assignment of everything he held to the company. 0 Mr. Coffin took up the balance due on a note issued by Sipe and held by theFidelity Trust Company and thus obtained 7*50 shares of common stock in the Pivot City Reality Company, valued at $20,000. Sipe had issued the note when he borrowed $2,700 from the bank and had given as collateral the 7*50 shares of stock. These shares, Mr. Coffin said, had been given to Sipe by Edward A. Hunt of the Pivot City Realty Company as security for SIO,OOO loan. With Sipes collateral Mr. Coffin also found that he had put up a first mortgage oa a lb* 20, Park sub-division in Irvington, owned by Zoe J. Stokes, and also stock in the Colonial Finance Comp-in*y of a par value of $2,000. According to Frank Childers, deputy clerk. Will H. I.atta, vice president of the Pivot City Realty Company, made a demand on the Fidelity Trust Company for the shares of stock, bnt later agreed they should be turned over 'to the county clerk. SAYS SIPE HAD X'O DEPOSIT ACCOUNT. ✓ •‘The Fidelity Trust Company has no deposit account with Mr. Sipe. either as clerk or persenally,’’ said William M. Fogarty, of the trust company. *’W merely loaned him $3,000 on a first mortgage on real estate owned by him in Irvington and executed to him personally in 1919, supported by additional collateral, the value of which was ascertained to be several times the amount of the loan. *■ “The balance due the Fidelity Trust Company on Mr. Sipe's note, amounting to $*56*1.70, including interest, was, with the approval of . the State board of accounts, paid yesterday afternoon and by agreement of all parties the collateral held as "security was delivered to Mr. Coffin as clerk.’’ “To .the best of my knowledge." said Mr. Latta, “Mr. Sipe two years ago invested $5,000 in stock in the Franklin Stores, in which Mr. Hunt also had an investment, and about May. 1921. he invested $5,750 in, the Royal Theater, buying a half interest, Mr. Hun* buying the other half. The $5,000 invested in Franklin Stores was paid for in installments. X'o possible loss can result from any business Mr. Sipe has ever done with Mr. Hunt unless it be the $5,000 invested in the Franklin Stores, and the Royal Theater will pay that twice over. And there is still hope for the Franklin Stores. “The Royal Theater lease does not expire until May. 1924. They Royal Theater beyond any question will earn $10,'300 for Mr. Sipe before the expiration of the ' lease. He received in nine months $3,650 / from the Royal Theater. The lease, having twenty-five months to run, will earn SIO,OOO more, without figuring on any increase. Just on past performances. So if it should turn out that the Franklin Stores would be an. entire loss he would still be $3,000 to the good. “As to the statement quoting Mr. Sipe to the effect that he invested SSOO i a garment manufacturing company, and s3< in a fruit farm through the solicitation of Mr. Hunt for the Pivot City Realty Company. Yesterday morning two people called me up to say they are interested in the garment company and stand ready to. buy Mr. Sipe's stock. The S3OO investment in the fruit farm was for the purchase of three shares of a par .value of SIOO per shafre. This stock is worth $450. I would be willing to bny this stock myself* ’’l have written to ihe prosecuting attorney, telling him t hat the Pivot City Realty Company stands ready to give him or a grand jury whatever information we have as to our dealings wirh Mr Sipe. which shows where our company stands jn the matter.”

I WISHED STENOGRAPHER TO TAKE STATEMENT. After the court had ruled in favor of the defense, Mr. Holmes resumed his testimony and said that Francis had expressed a desire to make a statement with a Stenographer present and correct one he had given Blodgett and which he said was untrue. “Detective Elvin told me,” the witness said, “that he didn’t get anything out of this but to lose his Job. When T told this to Francis he answered, ’Hell that don't make any difference. It is good riddance.' ” At the close of his testimony Holmes said that a Louisville attorney, Huggins f>y name, who was employed by Francis, had told him: “Francis is the biggest liar I ever knew.” Prosecntor Evans objected strenuously to this and urged that it be stricken from the record, but Judge Bain ruled that Evans himself hud opened the door (<> this matter In the early stages of the trial and could not now ask that It be closed. HARTMAN TAKES WITNESS STAND. J. Herbert Hartman then took the stand in his own behalf. He went at length Into his early life as school boy. an employe of the Premier Motor Car Company, the Vonnegut Hardware Company, Jackson and Jackson and the Indianapolis Traction and Terminal Company. Hartman told of his rise witji the Premier Motor Car Company, from a minor position to auditor and office manager. He said that he took up the practice of law in 1914, and that the greater

part of his practice had been along criminal lines. He said he never had been arrested or charged with crime until Francis had “lie don him.” This resulted in an acrimonious pute between attorneys iii the case, and' resulted 10-the testimony and all remarks of attorneys in he case being stricken from the record. But before this was done tfie court room was treated to exciting. If nonproductive battle of wits. Hartman told substantially the same story as his wife in regard to the manner in which he became acquainted with Francis, whom he knew as Moore, and he contradicted testimony given by Francis and his wife. He denied that when he purchased furniture from Hartman that he knew it was stolen goods, "or that he ever asked fred, (“Doggy"( Johnson, Carl Kunkle or Francis to steal furniture for his home. When today’s session opened Mabel Griswold, 19-year-old sister of Mrs. Hartman, resumed the stand and completed the testimony which she started to give yesterday afternoon. Asa whole Thursday was the best day the defense has had since the case opened, and when court adjourned at 6 o’clock last night it ftas the general opinio* that the events of the day had been decided in favor of Hartman and that Prosecutor William E. Evans had found the day not at all to his liking. THREE SISTERS TESTIFY. The turn in the tide was due almost entirely to the splendid impression made by Mrs. Hartman and’her two sisters, Olga and Mabel Griswold on the witness stand. The young women, all of whom are prepossessing tn appearance and manner, proved far more than a match for Prosecutor Evans and the Jury listened to their testimony apparently with far more than ordinary interest The young women contradicted the evidence given by Francis and bis wife in practically every particular and under the most grilling cross-examination they did not vary from their original statements in any particular. At times Prosecutor Evans plainly showed his annoyafice at the answers he received and on one occasion was “called down’’ by Judge Murray Bain for his displays of feeling. Mrs. Hartman was the start witness of the day. She told a convincing story of the relations existing between herself and i h r husband with Francis and his wife. | wjorn she said she always knew by the i name of Moore and specifically denied I that on any trips whisky was carried in ; automobiles; that she had worn various j stolen fur coats, or had knowledge that ! the automobiles in which trips were ! taken had been stolen. This was in dl- ! reet contradiction t otestimony given by : Mr. and Mrs. F incis. | ’Mrs. Hartman went at length into the trip to Lake ManiLgu the week end of | July 4 and 5. and testified that she heard j Hartman tell Francis: ! “I am through with you. I am not I golning to Indianapolis with you in your machine. I am going hack on the train.” This statement was verified by Mabel Griswold. SENATE PEEVED BY WAR BUREAU WASHINGTON. March 3—The Senate ' has bared its teeth to the War Depart- | nient over an alleged ‘’Slight” ■ iffered 1 when the unknown soldier was buried. Tile War Department, In charge of j the funeral parade, placed the Senate far j back In the line of march —behind hun--1 dreds of clerks and secretaries to bureau | heads. The Senators brought up the | rear of the parade but withheld protest* 1 because of the sacredness of the event, i The "slight,” however, was not for- | gotten, it was sharply recalled by Sen- ; ntor At*hurst. Democrat of Arizona on , the floor of the Senate. "How can this body expect the rev- ! erence of the people when the War Dei partment offers us a slight and we ac- | cept it without protest," he said. “We were last in line when the unknown soldier was buried. This illustrious body, j the elected of the people, was forced to march behind clerks and secretaries. It ! was an indignity that made one’s blood ! boll.” "Yes, the War Department told us to i take a back sent,” Interrupted Senator Robinson, Democrat of Arkansas. "This • inoc'uous body cannot expect to take precedence over the cl®rks who run tho Government.” *

J., March 3—Ben Mcyt, chief of the band gypsies comprising fourteen families, who reside in the Silver Lake section of Belleville, suburb of Newark, has washed, shaved and changed his clothes for the first time in the forty days since his wife died.

SHANK BACKS ELLIOTT IN CITY PAVING FIGHT (Continued on Page Eight.) ding, for $1.56 a lineal foot of property frontage and $1.65 a lineal foot of half intersections. This bid, the engineer figured, totaled $28.41 higher than that of Schwert Brothers. The engineer, however, had recommended, that all bids be rejected because two contractors had submitted figures lower even than St-hwert, Brothers, but their bids could not be ißiij cepted on account of irregularities. Mr. Elliott, it Is said, recommended that all bids be rejected in the belief that when readvertised the resolution would draw much lower prices. ,The irregular bid of John Arnold & Company, for Instance, was appproximately S2OO under that of the successful bidder, Garrlott, It was said. The Arnold lid was irregulaT because it Included no bid upon Intersections. Mr. Freeman said “if Schwert Brothers’ bid was rejected it was becafise it was irregular. We just let the contract to the lowest regular bidder rather than go to the expense of readvertising and holding up the work.’’ FOREIGN BONDS ON U. S.
