WRIT AGAINST BLACKTOP BIDS ASKEDIN SUIT Ft. Wayne Contractor Says Competition Stifled by Road Board. Charge of stifling competitive bidding on Indiana road projects was leveled at the state highway commission today with filing of a suit in circuit court for an injunction to prohibit awarding of bids to “blacktop” paving interests. The suit, filed by Robert O’Connor, Ft. Wayne taxpayer, asks that the commission be forced to allow bidding on ether types of road paving, and seeks to halt the commission policy of specifying three alleged variations of the "same distinct type” of blacktop. Brown Made Defendant Defendants in the action are the highway commission and John J. Brown, director. The complaint, filed by the law firm of Pickens, Davidson, Gause, Gilliom & Pickens, alleges that Indiana statutes require the commission to call for bids on three distinct types of highways surfaces, but that bids now being received do not “call for distinctive type of pavement.” O’Connor asks that the commission be enjoined from awarding bids for construction of seventeen miles on State Road 9 near Huntington. Single Type Award It is alleged in the suit that the commission, unless enjoined, will award the bid under specifications for a single type of road paving material "without giving notice that they will receive bids for any type of highway except the bituminous type commonly known as blacktop.” The suit further declares competitive bididng is excluded under the commisison’s policy, and that the plaintiff as a taxpayer will be deprived of his rights. O'Connor is a road contractor.

HIGH DIVER DIES IN TANK STUNT Insisted on Giving the Public a Show. By Uniter! Prett WASHINGTON. June 16—Frank Colrig. 24-year-old carnival high diver, was dead today because he insisted on giving “the public a run for their money.” Colrig came here from New York with a diving troupe to perform at a two-week carnival sponsored by Washington labor unions. He worked hard erecting the high tower and his nerves were tired when it came time for him to do his diving act before the opening night's crowd of. several thousand. Fellowperformers warned him against going through with the act. He mounted the platform sixty feet above a tank five feet deep and twelve feet wide. Then he dived and struck the metal edge of the tank.
