The company's bid now is $663,000, which is $14,000 under tho figure first submitted by this same company.

The Carlln Company's new bid is $11,000 lower than the lowest figure in the original bids, which was $574,000, submitted by Charles Meads Co. The Meads Company did not submit any second bid. William Meisser Company Is the new low bidder for the plumbing and ed at any moment. The requirement gas-fitting work Incidental to the "patch plan." Tho company's bid is jzd.ibu, a reduction or only $316 from the low bid submitted by Cranford Brothers for this work when the plans were nrst advertised. The Cranford bid was $25,776 originally.

On the second bidding it reduced Its original bid $5 to $25,770. The Appellate Division today designated Official Referee Marean to hear and report on the charges made by the Bar Association against Albert Halsey and William F. Brock, law-yrs, who promoted the Gerat Northern Trading Company and Issued alluring pamphlets promising fortunes for Investors in its bonds. The scheme was to speculate in stocks, wheat and cotton. The charges against Halsey and Brock state that they Issued stock to certain persons gratuitously, and paid dividends to those persons out of the capital, although the company dissipated money from its inception and never earned any.

Jacob Brenner, chairman of the Grievance Committee, Informed the Justices of the Appellate Division that Halsey and Brock obtained $7,000 from Mrs. Fannie Bloxham, who met them in the office of the Title Guarantee and Trust Company, where Hal-eey was employed. She was Intro-ducved by a man named Lewis, who was also employed there. The woman was told bondholders would withdraw in a year, and when Bhe asked for that right she was offered $5,000. 6he demanded all her money and then the backers of the Great Northern outfit brought a dissolution suit.

The Appellate Division sustained an order denying the request to dissolve. Brock was an employee of the Home Title Insurance Company, 383 Jay street He was admitted to the Bar In 1908. Hataey is 61 years old and was admitted in 1887, He lives at 169 State street Both Halsey and Brock answered the charges by saying they were not sufficiently familiar with corporation law and the stock market reports and said they did not know the statements in their pamphlets were untrue and, conseqeutly, a violation of the law. Halsey was president director and sole manager of the company. Brock was a director and its secretary.

The bids for the heating and venti lating worn nave Increased, although the firm of Callahan. Kingsley Co. is still tho low bidder. Its now bid is $74,460, an increase of $4,676 over Its original Did of $69,774. When the original bids were opened tho bids closest to the Callahan, Klngsley bid of $69,774 were $74,968, submitted by J.

H. Merritt and $74,981, submitted by Adams, Butz Co. The Merritt Company resubmitted its first of the camp when the full strength of the Guard arrives, will be 480,000 gallons per twenty-four hours. Two huge tanks, each holding 60,000 gallons, are now in readiness. Another problem which reached a practical solution late yesterday afternoon, was the piping of the water.

The pipe arrived shortly after 8 o'clock. Special details of men from the Sixty-ninth and the Twenty-second were promptly assigned to the work of unloading it. Available wagons were pressed Into service and the distribution of the piping began. The work of laying it is ready to begin with 100 per cent efficiency. The steamntters in both of the regiments are to take up the work at once.

Water Supply Will Be Abundant When the system Is installed there will be water In every company street, shower baths for the men and an ample kitchen supply. At present every drop of water used in the camp is carried by hand. The sewage disposal is arranged along approved military lines. Every company erects its own incinerators, thus disposing of a large project by the unit plan. In location the camp site approaches the ideal.

The nearest railroad station is at Green Haven, which is nothing more than a cross roads. To the southeast the Pawling Mountains rise in gentle swells. To the north and west the country Is rolling and thickly wooded. The camp site Is the State Industrial That Justice CropHpy In tho Supreme Court will vacate the Injunction which has held up he moving of two houses through I-'isko Terrace, Flat-hush, was Indicated today when argument was presented in liehaif of members of the Fiske Terrace Association, the BorotiKh Prosldent and the builder who seeks to move the houses. If the permit is issued, however, the floral decorations, trees and parking on Avenuo II and other thoroughfares through which tho houses will be rolled will be surrounded by duch safeguards and the permit will cpn-tuin such conditions that after the work is all dune Avenue II will be as beautiful as It Is now and will bo restored to lis present condition as nearly as expert gardeners can come to It.

Lawyer Henry E. Ileisted, for the association, contended that Frank H. KlnBsley, plaintiff in tho injunction suit, would suffer a material loss by the damage occasioned by the house moving and Assistant Corporation Counsel Freshman said It was within the power of the Horotigh President to abolish the Avenuo II pat-kings, and therefore no one could Interfere If ho saw lit to grant a permit to move a house which might do the same tlilnic In nnother way. Mr. Freshman said that the Borough President would grant a permit, lay out the route the traveling houses shall take, demand that over the parking the houses shnll be elevated three feet, that he will name the gardener who is to supervise the removal and replacing of trees that stand in the way, and will personally supervise the house moving to seo that nil the safeguards are applied as ho may order.

A bond to make sure that the house mover will pay for the work will lie exacted. "I know it Is a beautiful place and It would be a pity if it were destroyed, but that can't be the bnsls of a decision," said Justice Cropsey, after hearing Mr. Heisled's supplemental plea. Decision was reserved. Old and is still the nearest competitor of the Callahan, Kingsley firm for the work.

The new development came when Stephen C. Baldwin, counsel for William, the plaintiff, offered 1n evidence a paper read before the Pan-American Scientific Congress in Washington, in January, by Pope Yeatman, consulting engineer for the defendants. In this Yeatman stated that the mine over which the controversy arose was the largest copper deposit In the world.

B. It. R. Colonel Sydney Grant of the Thirteenth Coast Defense command ordered a careful inquiry to be made last night in order that a complete roster might be made up of the married men and the single ones, and just how many chll, dren. If any, the married men have.

The object Is to correctly ascertain if there are families which would suffer in case the heads were sent to Mexico. If you were an ordinary citizen and unfamiliar with military affairs, and had entered the Sumner avenue armory last night, you would probably have formed the opinion that the Thirteenth, would be off for Mexico before morning. More than 1,300 members were lined up on the floor, and there they remained until near midnight. It was inspection of personal property night, and every man was expected to prove to the Inspectors that his equipment was complete. As soon as they were lined up the m.n opened their kits and spread the contents, including knife, fork, cup, fry pan, before him on the floor.

With the fully equipped men were a number of recruits. They had no uniforms, no kits to open up, but they seemed quite as enthusiastic as tjie others. Colonel Grant was pleased with the fine showing made, as was Jay P. Hopkins, U. S.

the inspecting officer. The all-important question that was being' asked by each man of the other was: "Do we go?" Everybody seemed anxious to get to camp or to the front. From almost every part of the country communications have come to Colonel Grant from former members of the Thirteenth either by wire or post, asking to be notified if the command is ordered to Mexico, and stating they would re-enlist at once upon receipt of news that they would be able to go to the front. There were scores of men and women, relatives and friends of the soldiers, at the armory last night. Visitors were not permitted in the company rooms or on the floor.

They were directed to the galleries, and men were stationed to see that they went there. REFEREES APPOINTED. BY VAN SICI.EN, J. Relmer vs. Bny Dredging ft Contracting Charles E.

Regatta Course, New London, June 28 Harvard triumphed over Yale In both minor events of the annual rowing regatta on the Thames today, the Crimson freshman eight winning by three-quarters of a length and the second varsity four flashing across the finishing line in front by two lengths. The Cambridge rooters look on the double victory as a good omen for the varsity race, which is scheduled later In the afternoon. The freshman race was a thriller over the entire two-mile course.

Overtaking the Yale men in the last half mile, the Crimson bladed oarsmen flashed into the front and slid over the finish line three-quarters of a lengtn ahead of their rivals. Yale led until near the finish when her crew seemed to tire and go to pieces. The race was rowed in rough water. The official time was. Harvard, 10:86 8-5.

Yale, 10:39. Harvard defeated the Yale second varsity crew In their two-mile race by two lengths. The contest was a drive from the start to the finish through rough water. Yale caught tho water first, darted out into the lead and held it for the first half-mile. Then Harvard, pulling a strong even stroke, began to pull up on her rival and passed her.

Yale responded with a spurt and cut down Harvard's lead to less than a boat's length at the milo. Yale again spurted but could gain but little, and Harvard near the finish began to pull away and led over the finish line two lengths in the lead. The Harvard supporters on the observation train split the air with cheers for tho double victory of the morning. The official time was: Harvard, 10:25. Yalo, 10:27.

TO FIGHT SUBWAY WITH INJUNCTION waiver or nis rignts to a share in the Chuquicimata mine in Chile because his brothers withheld from him information which they had of its immense value. Mr. Baldwin yesterday examined Yeatman In an effort to obtain from him an estimate of the tonnage of the mine which would Indicate the value of William's alleged share. Yeatman stated that because of the vast extent of the Chuquicimata prospect, it would require weeks to make usuch an estimate. In the paper produced today he estlmateed the ore tonnage of the mine at 803,300,789 tons, and the copper yield as 2 per cent, of the ore.

This statement, Mr. Baldwin declared, placed upon the mine a value which would make William Guggenheim's claim worth about $30,000,000. Samuel Untermeyer of counsel for the defense protested that this estimate, made In January of 1916, could not be binding upon acts committed by tho brothers in 1912, but after a lengthy argument the paper was admitted by Justice Callaghan with the objections and eexceptions taken by the defense. At 12:30 adjournment was taken until Monday. from Beacon, the nearest stop on the New York Central.

From Beacon one takes a 7:25 train for Hopewell Junction and from that point, after an hour and a half wait, train coming through from Poughkeepsie carries visitors to the camp. Approaching It from either direction are two railroad tracks. To the right or west are -waving fields of grain. Yesterday a lone farmer, apparently indifferent to the animated scene within a half mile of him, contentedly bestrode his mowing machine and clucked to Tessie. Asked If he had visited the camp he said: "Nope, not yet I cal'ate to get down to look them over in a few days.

Ain't they early to camp?" "Early? There is a chance of war with Mexico and these boys are making ready to gf to the border." you Joshing," "No; talking facts." "Tell it to the city fellers." "You certainly read the papers?" "In the winter I do," responded this peaceful native of the Pawling range. The railroad station does not boast a ticket agent. It is a weary, apologetic sort of a structure, painted yellow, a story and something over in height. The something over resembles a shortage of timber more than anything else. Contrary to traditions there is no general store at the station.

That was saved for Green Haven proper, which is two sights and a right smart step down Agony lane. Agony Lane Is Well Named. The lane connects the railroad with the Pawling-Poughkeepsie turnpike. It maf have had another name, but none of the newspaper men or the soldiers in the field have bothered to find out what it is. The Sixty-ninth ran afoul of it the moment they reached Green Haven.

The fighting qualities of the fighting Irishmen were put to a test, but the lane had all the best of the encounter. Roads have a habit of- getting muddy when It rains. Then they get in the way frightfully. Wednesday evening a band of newspaper men tackled the mile hike to the section reserved for the Sixty-ninth. They, too, were whipped by the lane.

It climbs constantly in a most aggravating manner. During the flood, as the boys call Wednesday's storm, it developed a glue like mud that catches hold and hangs on. It was through a mile of lane that the men were forced to drag the heavy baggage and supply wagons, owing to the absence of draught horses. Nearest to the railroad stopping place Is the camp of the Twenty-second Engineers. They have seven companies in camp, totaling about 800 men.

A mile farther down Agony lane, is the camp of the Sixty-ninth. Yesterday morning it began to take definite shape, and by dinnertime the conical tents were up In orderly rows, boding was being aired, and It looked as though the men had been there for weeks. Militiamen as Stone Breakers. A sample of the life Brooklyn Guardsmen will be forced to endure, even under the most favorable conditions, 1b evidenced at the entrance of A Company street. It is here the supply wagons for the regiment pull in.

The bank rises abruptly from the roadside. An entrance was cut, but this soon became a mudhole under the constant grind of the incoming and outgoing waeons. The remedy lay in paving the approach to the street. Medium-sized stones were necessary and the nearby country was found to contain only fair-sized bowlders. There was nothing left to do but subtract small stones from large ones.

In less than live minutes fifty Irish and Irishmen were bending their sturdy backs, swinging sledges. "Never thought I should be busy making small stones of big ones," remarked a huge fellow with a shock of jet black hair. "It could not be in a better cause," he added as he returned to the task after wiping his brow.
